Chapter 527: You are a beautiful woman, but you are a thief (Part 1)
Jiang Chunian responded and left the villa with Demonhawk outside the door.
Ruan Qi took back the silver needle hidden in her fingertips.
Although she wanted to kill Jiang Chunian immediately, she knew in her heart that the timing was not right.
Jiang Chunian had disappeared for ten years, and no one knew what his current strength was. If, as Bai Li suspected, he had cultivated some evil technique, then taking action now would be like alerting the enemy.
Moreover, she also had to find out what Jiang Chunian and that Demonhawk were up to.
Jiang Chunian and Demonhawk had already walked away. Ruan Qi, with Mo Lan and He Ma, quietly approached the main building under the cover of night.
Old Hawke's study and Jiang Chunian's villa were located to the east and west, respectively, and were quite far apart. There were also several waves of bodyguards patrolling in between, so it would take some time to avoid them.
Ruan Qi didn't want to deal with these bodyguards, so she asked Bai Li to block the security system. Then she kicked the outer wall of the main building with her feet and quickly jumped onto the roof of the main building.
She crawled on the roof, like a night cat, and moved quickly towards the study.
Bai Li looked at her nimble movements and the way she crawled forward, and couldn't help but sigh twice.
"A popular female star is lying on someone's roof late at night. Is this a distortion of human nature or a decline of morality? Seventh girl, I really want to record you like this and show it to the Xi family boy."
What a nice little girl, she insisted on lying on someone's roof.
You are a beautiful woman, why do you become a thief?
Bai Li was talking without any pain in his waist, and he kept chattering in the system.
Ruan Qi's eyebrows twitched because of his noise. If it wasn't the wrong timing, she really wanted to block this nonsense old man.
Fortunately, we finally arrived at the location of the study.
"The study is down here," Mo Lan pointed to the rooftop where they were currently, "One study is on the second floor, and the other is on the third floor."
The study on the third floor was where Old Hawke discussed secrets. The Hawke family treated Jiang Chunian as such a mysterious guest, so they would definitely discuss things with him there.
Ruan Qi pressed her body tightly against the roof, then exerted force with her waist, and her whole body stuck to the outer wall of the main building and jumped onto the railing of the air conditioner outdoor unit.
She held the railing with one hand, with most of her body leaning out of the railing, and her waist leaning towards the study window at a strange angle.
The night was as dark as ink, and the little girl dressed in black was blended into the ink, making it impossible to notice her.
Ruan Qi put her face to the edge of the study window and looked into the room cautiously.
Inside the study, the lights were bright, and a man with half-gray hair was sitting on a large chair in front of the desk with his back to the window.
At this time, the door of the study opened and Demonhawk and Jiang Chunian walked in.
Since the walls, doors and windows of the study were equipped with soundproofing materials, even though Ruan Qi had amazing hearing, she could not hear the conversation between the few people.
She thought about it and took out the eavesdropping device that she had prepared long ago from the backpack she was carrying.
She stuck the bug directly outside the study window.
"Will this work?" Bai Li couldn't help but ask, "The study is so soundproofed, how could a bug pick up the sound?"
"Of course I can!" Ruan Qi affixed the eavesdropping device, twisted her waist, and retreated to the railing of the air conditioner. "This was designed by a good friend of mine in the academic circle. He is particularly good at inventing high-tech electronic devices. This eavesdropping device can pick up everything within a radius of 50 meters!"
When Bai Li heard that it was designed by someone in the academic circle, he immediately fell silent.
The academic bigwigs that Ruan Qi knew were all crazy researchers. They wouldn't find it surprising if they could design a bug that could pick up audio within 500 meters, let alone 50 meters.
Ruan Qi had already taken out his cell phone and started debugging the eavesdropping device.
After adjusting it, she put on headphones, squatted next to the air conditioner outdoor unit, and curled up into a ball.
Demonhawk's voice appeared in the headphones.
As the debugging data of the eavesdropping device became more and more stable, Demonhawk's voice became clearer and clearer.
"Father, I brought Mr. Jiang here."
After Demonhawk finished speaking, there was silence in the headphones.
Ruan Qi waited for a while, but did not receive an answer from Old Hawke. Instead, she heard Demon Hawke say again, "Mr. Jiang, please take a seat. What would Mr. Jiang like to drink? Is red wine okay?"
Jiang Chunian said "OK".
Then came the sounds of the study door opening and closing, and wine being poured.
The room finally quieted down after a while of commotion. Demonhawk then spoke again, "Father, Mr. Jiang and I will be attending the arms exhibition tomorrow. We will discuss cooperation with Solomon."
There was silence in the earphones for two seconds, and then Ruan Qi heard Old Hawke say "hmm".
"Okay, let's go talk to Solomon about cooperation."
"Father," Demonhawk continued, "Solomon Austin and Seven Killers of Solomon are very cunning. I've been dealing with them for a long time today, but I still haven't secured the R7 purchase contract. Seven Killers said that Solomon will only cooperate with the strong. But I'm not yet the heir to the family, and they don't trust my strength."
"So what do you want to do?" asked Old Hawke.
Demonhawk: "Father, you are already old. It is better to decide on the family heir as soon as possible."
This sentence seemed to touch the sensitive spot of old Hawke, and his voice suddenly rose: "What nonsense are you talking about——"
The sound suddenly stopped here.
There was a sudden silence in the headphones.
Ruan Qi frowned, thinking there was something wrong with the bug. Just as she was about to open the app to debug, she suddenly heard Old Hawke's voice again, "Okay, decide on the successor as soon as possible."
"So, when will father announce my status as the heir? I remember my eldest brother's birthday is in a few days. Why don't we take advantage of his birthday party to announce it to everyone?"
"Okay." Old Hawke's tone remained even without any fluctuation, as if his previous anger had never happened. "Announce the birthday party."
Ruan Qi listened to the conversation between the father and son, and his brows slowly furrowed.
This old Hawke...why is he talking so incoherently?
One second he was furious and scolding Demonhawk for talking nonsense, and the next second he was as quiet as a chicken and promised him to decide on an heir as soon as possible?
Isn’t this change in attitude too abrupt?
Are the current heads of aristocratic families so careless in choosing their heirs?
Ruan Qi always felt that Old Hawke was a little strange. Especially when he was clearly furious, but suddenly calmed down and then changed his attitude. Ruan Qi really couldn't understand this emotional change.
She even wondered if Demonhawk had pointed a gun at Old Hawk, causing him to suddenly change his mind.
But the possibility of this is basically zero.
The entire Hawke family belongs to old Hawke. If Damon dares to use a gun to force old Hawke, then when Damon walks out of this study, there will be a hundred guns pointed at him.
