"I'm going to pick up something now. Someone will come and take away the rest of the goods in the evening."
"There's a little girl in there looking for a book. Be careful when you take it."
The voices outside stopped.
thing?
Is there anything valuable in here?
Could it be the two things I put into the space?
There were footsteps coming in the door.
Yan Ning didn't want to turn the page any further.
Her sixth sense detected that something was wrong.
Using the pile of books as cover, she took out several books on mathematics, physics and chemistry from the space.
He took it in his hand, stood up and walked out the door.
He glanced at the person who walked in and felt the other person's eyes on him, and the look in his eyes made him shudder.
Yan Ning's heart was tense, but his face was calm and a bit childish.
The middle-aged man who came towards her looked her over.

The middle-aged man took a look and found that the item had actually been delivered, but now it was gone.
"Has anyone been in there before I came here?"
The old man narrowed his eyes to hide his sharp gaze, "Only the little girl just now was here.
But she only bought a few high school textbooks, and I also observed that she had no place to put anything else."
A sinister look flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, "After she came, the things disappeared inexplicably.
It must be related to her. Where did she go just now? "
The old man pointed to where Yan Ning left.
The middle-aged man chased after him.
