However, he remained vigilant, forcefully pushing open the bedroom door and rolling inside. Although the room was pitch black, he knew his bedroom layout well, and with a single roll, he reached the head of his bed. With lightning speed, he reached under the bed and pulled out a pistol, holding it in his hand as he surveyed his surroundings.
Nobody was there! The bedroom wasn't big, and there wasn't much furniture; he could tell the room was empty!
He then got up and turned on the bedroom light switch. The bedroom was lit up, and he quickly ran to the lower right corner of the room to check the floor tiles. Seeing that the marks he had made were intact, he felt a sense of relief and the weight on his heart was finally lifted.
He did indeed hide some important things in his bedroom, and if they were stolen, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Besides that, there were no other important items in the bedroom. Even if a thief broke in, he wouldn't be able to steal anything valuable.
How did this thief get in? He had been guarding the front shop the whole time; he could only have entered through the back door or window.
He rushed to the back door and checked again. Finally, he discovered that the marks made on the window shutters had been moved, and there were scratches on the window latches from a sharp object. The thief had entered through this window.
I went back to my bedroom before dinner. At that time, the thief had not yet entered. That is to say, about an hour ago, a thief used a sharp tool to pry open the window latch, climbed in, and entered my bedroom. I didn't hear a sound at all.
What was his purpose? Was it really a theft? But he didn't lose any of his belongings. No, there must be something he overlooked!
He rushed back to the bedroom, which was sparsely furnished with little furniture and nowhere to hide anything; the bed consisted mainly of pillows and blankets.
Suddenly he noticed a wooden box next to his pillow and was startled. Someone had sneaked in. But instead of anything being missing from the bedroom, there was an extra item.
He took two steps forward and picked up the wooden box. The box was heavy; he wondered what might be inside.
He carefully opened the box, and on top of the contents was a white slip of paper. He picked it up and read its contents, and a sharp pain shot through his chest. His breathing became rapid, almost unbearable, and an overwhelming sadness washed over him.
"Zhang Pei betrayed us; Lu Ming was ambushed and killed on the spot. Be careful and adapt accordingly." (Shadow)
The meaning written on the note was very clear. Zhang Pei, mentioned in it, was probably someone Lu Ming insisted on meeting. This person had been out of contact for many years. He was a traitor who set a trap during the rendezvous. As a result, Lu Ming was killed on the spot when he was arrested!
He didn't know who had sent him this terrible news, but his intuition told him it was true!
In fact, he had a vague feeling over the past few days that Lu Ming might no longer be alive, but he had never dared to think about it and did not want to think about it!
