Chapter 98 It's a Female Thief
Zhuo Yu has been angry for the past three days, so the stupidest thing he thought of was to sit back and wait.
From the location of the first transaction with Mo Huaiqing and the distance to Eunuch Yan's place the second time, we need to use a boat to calculate.
At that time he saw the female thief preparing to board the boat, so he deduced that the female thief must be within the area of the stone bridge.
He just didn't believe that the female thief would never come out to steal again.
Although he already had the blood jade in his hands, he just couldn't swallow this humiliation.
He knew that the female thief liked to act at midnight, so he lay down beside the stone bridge railing in advance, wearing black clothes and black pants and a black scarf, waiting.
Unexpectedly, he waited for something.
Although I don’t know if it’s the female thief’s boat, what if it is?
But he soon discovered that there were quite a few people on the boat. Wasn't the female thief acting alone?
Including the boatman, it seemed like there were five or six people.
Zhuo Yu thought, could it be that it wasn't a female thief, but someone else doing something in the dark?
After all, there is a curfew recently and everyone is being very careful.
But the power structure in the imperial city is complex, and there are always people who need to do things at night.
On Mo Yunzhu's boat, the boatman was Long Yi, wearing a black hat.
The others were sitting inside the boat. They were wearing black clothes, black pants, and black hoods, with only the ventilation holes for their eyes and noses showing.
This river is not an important commercial waterway, so basically only some civilian boats dock here, and there is no one at this spot.
Even if someone saw a ship passing by, they would not be very curious.
Zhuo Yu was following on the shore. He stared at Long Yi's figure for a long time, his brows becoming more and more furrowed. Could it be that this really wasn't the female thief's boat?
Who are they then? What are they doing? Wearing a cap in the middle of the night obviously means they are afraid of being recognized, which is definitely not a good thing.
Zhuo Yu followed secretly because he was bored anyway.
In fact, Mo Yunzhu and his companions looked at both sides of the shore several times, but Zhuo Yu was too strong and good at hiding, so he never realized that he was being followed.
The river does not directly connect to Hongmei Villa, but stops at the bank of a small river closest to Hongmei Villa.
They still had to walk for half an hour to reach Hongmei Villa.
Zhuo Yu still followed behind them, but a little far away, because he found that they were moving very fast. There were five people in total. After the boatman got off the boat, his hat was gone and he was wearing a black hood instead.
When Zhuo Yu saw this outfit, his heart was boiling with excitement. This hood was exactly the same as that of the female thief. Even if you made eye contact several times, you couldn't tell whether you had seen the other person before.
He secretly observed the five figures and finally found the female thief. He was really curious about who this woman was!
A hint of cruel and bloodthirsty murderous intent appeared on Zhuo Yu's lips. If he didn't catch this female thief tonight, he would not be called Zhuo.
But thinking of the cunningness of the female thief, Zhuo Yu did not dare to be careless and followed her secretly.
Mo Yunzhu and the other four walked through the streets and alleys and quickly arrived at a corner near Hongmei Villa. As soon as they stopped, Mo Yunzhu raised his hand.
The four of them came over immediately.
"We're being followed." Mo Yunzhu felt like she was being watched after she got ashore, and she had this feeling the whole time along the way.
Long Yi, Long Er, Chang Qing and Chang Ivy were all stunned for a moment. They looked back, but it was pitch black and they couldn't see anything at all.
"The person following us is an expert. He might be Zhuo Yu from Wanyao Pavilion. I have tricked him twice and he is very suspicious of me. It is very likely that he came out at night."
Mo Yunzhu's mind raced as she spoke.
"Are we still taking action now?" Chang Qing asked.
"Of course, we will try not to kill anyone, we are here to seek money." Mo Yunzhu said, "Do as I told you before. I will take care of the person following us. Once we get the things, you go back first and I will come back by myself. Did you understand?"
Chang Teng asked anxiously: "Miss, what if something happens to you?"
"Don't worry, even if I get caught, I have a way to get back. Don't hold me back. Remember to leave after you succeed. Don't stay."
He took out four packets of something from his pocket and said, "This is the drug powder. Use it if you can't get away. Remember to hold your breath."
Seeing that she was serious, the four could only nod in agreement.
Mo Yunzhu said seriously: "You must return safely. It doesn't matter if you fail. We have plenty of opportunities, but if people die, there is nothing left. Do you understand?"
The four of them nodded immediately, and then Mo Yunzhu told them to disperse, and the four of them immediately separated and headed towards Hongmei Villa.
Mo Yunzhu stood where she was, looking in Zhuo Yu's direction.
Because she felt those eyes were staring at her.
She didn't move, and the other person didn't move either, which made Mo Yunzhu instantly guess that the person was Zhuo Yu.
Otherwise why didn't he follow the others?
Mo Yunzhu's mind raced. Zhuo Yu already had a certain understanding of her. Poison powder and flying knives were useless against that guy.
The problem was that he was so good at martial arts that it was difficult for me to escape.
Zhuo Yu was staring at Mo Yunzhu with a sneer. He could see the female thief squatting in the corner, but he didn't know if she had any tricks up her sleeve, so he didn't move.
In fact, he also wanted to know why the female thief came here tonight? Everyone else had separated, but why didn't she move?
Could it be that while those guys go robbing, this female thief can just wait?
Just when he was wondering whether he should catch the female thief right away, she suddenly moved and climbed over the wall into the yard of a residential house behind.
Zhuo Yu was startled for a moment, then immediately flew out and saw that the female thief had already jumped over the wall opposite the house. He almost lost sight of the female thief.
This made Zhuo Yu break out in a sweat. How could this female thief be so fast and as agile as a swallow without any internal energy? He had never seen such a strange woman.
Zhuo Yu was also very curious about this female thief.
But he no longer thought about Mo Yunzhu, because the Queen Mother had just died, and Mo Yunzhu had been keeping vigil for several days. It was unreasonable for her to come out and commit crimes so quickly.
Mo Yunzhu knew it wasn't so easy to get rid of Zhuo Yu, so after she climbed over the wall, she didn't run away, but stuck to the wall.
Then Zhuo Yu jumped out from inside, and a handful of iron nails flew out from Mo Yunzhu.
Just as Zhuo Yu was about to land, he felt danger and flipped over in the air, kicked the iron nails with his feet, and flipped his palms together to avoid the attack of the hidden weapon.
This made him so angry that his hair was about to explode.
This female thief actually knew she was being followed and reacted so quickly.
The female thief had already escaped from the alley, but Zhuo Yu stumbled and flew out again.
He was also afraid that a hidden weapon might fly out of the alley, so he paused when he reached the alley entrance.
Then his foot slipped and he almost did a split, and then he realized that there was vegetable oil on the ground.
"Damn it!" Zhuo Yu doubted his life because of the pain between his legs, and couldn't help cursing out loud.
