Li Mochuan came on strong, and Ye Ningwan was caught off guard, only managing to dodge Li Mochuan's hand that was reaching for her face.
Tear.
With a sound of fabric tearing, Ye Ningwan took two steps back and flashed to the window.
Li Mochuan also received two injections in his leg.
That was what Ye Ningwan had just shot out, which directly sealed the acupoints on Li Mochuan's legs, leaving him unable to stand up for the time being while he was sitting in a chair.
Li Mochuan let out a low, hoarse laugh.
"Heh, your methods are much more sophisticated than I thought."
Ye Ningwan's cold, star-like eyes were fixed on the large piece of fabric in Li Mochuan's hand, her face extremely ugly.
Damn it! I actually got tricked by that bastard!
Ye Ningwan gripped the gun tightly, wishing she could immediately shoot Li Mochuan in the head to kill him and relieve her hatred.
A flurry of footsteps came from outside the door, as chaotic as raindrops.
"Quick! Something's happened in Mr. Li's study!"
Ye Ningwan gritted her teeth, silently swallowed her anger, and fired two shots at the enamel-painted gold-threaded glass.
The footsteps outside the door stopped immediately, clearly startled by the two gunshots and unsure of what was happening in the study, so they dared not make any rash moves.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Ningwan fired two shots and shattered the glass, which already had fine cracks, with the butt of her gun.
The glass shattered with a crash, and she jumped out of the window.
Almost at the same moment Ye Ningwan's figure disappeared outside the window, the study door was broken open by bodyguards, and a group of people rushed in with weapons.
"Don't move!"
Countless dark gun barrels were pointed at the office chair behind the desk, which was facing away from them.
The office chair slowly turned, and Li Mochuan sat down, coldly staring at the bodyguards pointing at him, a cold smile curving his thin lips.
“You’ve come at just the right time.”
All the bodyguards immediately put down their weapons and stood at attention.
Upon hearing Li Mochuan's sarcastic remarks, the group of bodyguards immediately lowered their heads in shame.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, we..."
Li Mochuan sneered, glancing at the wide-open safe. Some cash was swirling on the floor as the wind blew in through the window, and there were also some gold bars and land certificates inside.
The documents that were taken away weren't anything very important. Having only an official seal was a bit troublesome, but it wasn't a big deal.
The other party seemed to be a petty thief who came in to steal things, got caught, and hurriedly grabbed some items before running away.
"Alright, that's enough. We've been trying to catch her for so long and we still can't catch her. Now that she's gotten away, we won't be able to catch her anyway."
The bodyguards all breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed that Li Mochuan had no intention of blaming them for their dereliction of duty.
Li Mochuan glanced indifferently at the tattered cloth in his hand, which he had torn from that woman.
When the woman carried him up, he was absolutely certain that it was a woman, not some thin, weak man.
However, the woman was clearly highly trained and did not resemble an ordinary petty thief. Judging from her wariness of him, she should have been aware of his identity.
Li Mochuan was a little unsure for a moment. Was that all there was to it?
Just as Li Mochuan was silent, he suddenly noticed something was wrong with the piece of cloth in his hand.
The maid's uniform was too elaborate, even adorned with a lot of lace, so Li Mochuan didn't notice it at first. But now he realized that the piece of cloth he had torn from the thief contained a hard object.
Li Mochuan opened it and froze on the spot.
Among the tangled mess of fabric in his palm lay a lustrous jade pendant, round in shape and bound by a golden cord.
The jade pendant was probably tied around the thief's neck, but just now the rope loosened, and Li Mochuan happened to pull it off.
Li Mochuan carefully picked up the jade pendant, placed it under the light, and tilted his head back to examine it carefully for a long time. The jade shimmered with light, clear and pure. The original color of the high-ice type imperial green was a rare and exquisite jade in the world. What was even more amazing was that it had very few impurities and no cracks.
He happened to have an identical jade pendant as well.
However, what is carved on it is not a dragon, but an ancient ferocious beast called Qiongqi.
Li Mochuan's usually cold and serious face suddenly revealed an indescribable fluctuation, like excitement, fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Many unspeakable emotions were intertwined and chaotic.
"It's her! It's actually her!"
Bang!
Li Mochuan slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, but then, because Ye Ningwan had pricked his foot with two needles, he was too weak to stand up and sat back down. He looked at the group of bodyguards in front of him, whose nerves had suddenly tightened, with a grim expression.
He gripped the jade pendant in his hand tightly and gave a hoarse command to the bodyguard.
"Have everyone in the manor go and find that little...that person who sneaked into the manor today right now! I'll find her even if I have to dig three feet into the ground!"
The bodyguards were puzzled, but seeing Li Mochuan's expression, they dared not ask why their boss had suddenly changed his mind, and could only acknowledge and leave.
Only Liao Qiongfeng, who had just woken up from Ye Ningwan's hypnosis, stopped before leaving and said to Li Mochuan with some concern.
