Zhu Qinghao had just arrived home when she reached for the lock, only to find it was in the wrong place; it wasn't where she usually kept it.
Realizing this problem, alarm bells went off in her mind.
But she didn't think too much about it. After all, it was the gate of the courtyard. If someone came looking for her, they might just knock on the door and change the direction of the lock.
To confirm, she quickly took out her key, and only breathed a sigh of relief after it slid smoothly into the lock cylinder.
Fortunately, the lock had not been damaged.
Sheng Yi once told her that if a lock has been opened by other means, there will be resistance when the key is put in again.
However, Zhu Qinghao did not let her guard down just because the lock had not been pried open. She was extremely vigilant and, after entering the courtyard, she first scanned the courtyard from left to right.
Sure enough, on the side closer to Si Tian's courtyard, she saw signs that someone had climbed over the wall.
Then I looked at the lock on the door, and it had been smashed.
Seeing this, her heart sank, and she tightened her grip on the stun gun.
—This is what she took out of her spatial storage after discovering that someone had climbed over the wall into the yard.
However, after searching the house thoroughly, she found no one in the house and did not find anything missing.
That's strange. They went to all that trouble to get in, but didn't steal anything. What exactly is this thief trying to do?
Zhu Qing searched for a long time and only found that her bed had been turned over, so the thief was after the money and tickets.
It's such a pity that, as someone with a personal space, she never kept any money or cash at home.
But don't people say a thief never leaves empty-handed? Does that mean the thief just gave up after not finding the money and went straight to the next shop?
After confirming that there was no damage to the house, Zhu Qinghao put aside her doubts, sat down at the table, and poured herself a glass of water.
Just as she was about to put the water in her mouth, she accidentally noticed some white powder on the rim and walls of the enamel mug she was drinking from.
Her eyesight wasn't that good to begin with, but the other person was really careless, and even the rim of the jar was covered in the powder, making it easy for anyone to spot.
For some reason, in an instant, she thought of Huang Ying, who had arrived late that evening.
With a slight shift in her eyes, she guessed what these people were up to.
So that was their real purpose.
Then, without making a sound, she moved the enamel mug into her space and took another mug, continuing to drink water.
This time, however, she didn't even drink the water from the thermos; instead, she poured it directly from her spatial storage.
After finishing her water, she decided to play along and see what these people were up to.
If it really is Huang Ying, then we can't blame her.
She lay in bed for about half an hour when she heard someone knocking on her and Si Tian's courtyard gate.
Unsurprisingly, no one responded from either side.
Immediately afterwards, she heard a man and a woman whispering something, followed by two muffled thuds, one after the other.
They've arrived.
"Do you think that drug is enough to completely knock someone out? If we break down the door, won't we wake them up?"
That voice is unmistakably Huang Ying's.
Zhu Qinghao had her back to the outside, her eyes so cold they seemed to freeze.
"You fucking ask me? Didn't you administer the drug?"
That voice belongs to He Si.
"Huang Ying, let me tell you, if you don't administer enough medicine, and things get exposed, you'll see how I deal with you."
