Jiang Yihe looked at the fat man who ran away in a smug manner and silently clenched his fists.
Okay! Uncle Li's actions will definitely benefit his father.
He closed the door with his upper jaw depressed and lay back on the bed.
Let him know who disturbed his sweet dream. I’ll beat him until he calls for help!
He thought for a long time about how he would torture people before gradually falling asleep.
"Tell me, has the thief been caught?"
Early the next morning.
Jiang Yihe sat at the round table, legs crossed and gnawing on a chicken leg, talking without raising his head.
"Young Master, that thief's martial arts skills are quite high, and the guards have lost him. But seeing that he is so professional, he will definitely come again in the next few days, so I would like to trouble you to guard here for the next few days."
After Uncle Li finished speaking, he attentively poured Jiang Yihe a cup of tea.
"Okay, leave it to me."
Jiang Yihe also didn't expect that as the young master of the manor, he was not doing a business worth thousands of taels of gold, but was catching a petty thief.
What he didn't expect was that the thief was an old acquaintance.
Soon evening arrived.
Chen Manxing lay silently on the eaves and watched the patrolling guards inside.
Although the number has increased, it is still easy to get away.
Although she didn't plan to do it secretly this time, she didn't want to alert the guards too early.
She lay in the dark and waited patiently until the hour of Chou, then she tiptoed onto the roof of the attic.
Coming down from the eaves again, she found that there were fewer bells in the house.
"Young man, what a coincidence, are you here to steal something too?"
Suddenly a hoarse male voice came from the dark corner of the room.
Chen Manxing instinctively raised his hand to grab the knife, but did not attack until he noticed that the man was also wearing a nightgown.
"Um."
She also spoke in a low voice.
Although she felt that the man in black in front of her looked familiar, she didn't expect that he was someone she knew.
"Brother, what do you want to steal? How about we work together?"
Jiang Yihe looked at the man in black who was actually fooled, and immediately moved closer and spoke timidly.
"What do you want?"
Shen Manxing looked at Jiang Yihe suspiciously, she didn't think it was such a coincidence.
"As for me, I heard there are jade beads worth a thousand gold here, and I want to steal them and sell them."
Jiang Yihe was talking nonsense.
"I'm looking for a weapon."
After Chen Manxing finished speaking, he turned around and went to the second floor, without paying much attention to Jiang Yihe, who looked like a wretched thief.
Jiang Yihe looked at Chen Manying's neat Qinggong and did not show his own strength, but climbed up the stairs gently.
It was this guy who kept him awake most of the night. Let’s see how he’s going to deal with him later!
"Brother, how about we work together? I came here secretly a long time ago, and I know where this store hides the treasures, but the door to the secret room requires a high level of internal strength."
"My mediocre skills are barely enough for running away."
Although Shen Manxing suspected that this person was cheating, if she could find the dagger, she would be very confident that she could shake him off even if he came to arrest her.
"lead the way."
The two of them lowered their voices at the same time, so no one recognized them.
"Okay, bro."
Jiang Yihe quickly brought Shen Manxing to the shelf from yesterday.
"See these two openings? I've researched them. Using internal energy to pull them in either direction will open the secret room."
He pointed to two small openings in the wall.
Shen Manxing stared at it and confirmed before using his internal force.
After a while, the secret room opened silently.
"Wow~ So many treasures."
Jiang Yihe did not lie. Although it was a branch store, it had quite a few treasures.
After seeing that there were no so-called jewels inside, Chen Manxing concluded that Jiang Yihe was here to arrest her. She quickly took the dagger hanging in the center, waved it at Jiang Yihe, and quickly turned over and went downstairs.
Jiang Yihe, who had reacted, didn't expect Chen Manxing to suddenly become violent. After blocking the attack, he immediately chased after him.
The afterimages of the two people jumped quickly on the roofs of several houses.
Jiang Yihe used his Qinggong skills to quickly arrive in front of Chen Manying.
"Brother, don't leave so quickly, why don't you chat?"
Chen Manxing looked at Jiang Yihe standing in front of him, put the magnetic dagger into his waist, took off the scimitar behind him and rushed towards Jiang Yihe quickly.
She said she would pay it back and she didn't mean to hurt anyone.
When dealing with Jiang Yihe, he also planned to knock him out or exhaust his strength before leaving.
Jiang Yihe was about to throw out the poison, but he stopped when he saw Chen Manxing took out the scimitar.
"Chen Manxing?"
He cried out in shock.
Shen Manxing also paused as he was about to swing.
"Jiang Yihe?"
She looked suspiciously at the masked man in black in front of her.
"It really is you."
After confirming it, Jiang Yihe immediately stopped attacking, not worrying at all that Shen Manxing would sneak attack him.
Chen Manxing looked at Jiang Yihe who had directly retracted his attack, and hesitated for a moment before retracting his action.
But she didn't say anything.
She didn't know how to start.
How could she bring herself to say this when she stole something from someone else?
"Manxing, do you want to get something? I can give it to you directly."
Because he had to go back in a month, Jiang Yihe was too lazy to hide his identity.
He thought Chen Manxing had left Huacheng, but he didn't expect that she was still there.
"I'll return it to you when I'm done."
Shen Manxing looked at the generous Jiang Yihe and was silent for a while before speaking.
"What use are you having with this dagger? I can lend you a better one."
Jiang Yihe was smart and immediately remembered that many years ago Shahua had bought the obsidian sword, which was also made of magnetic iron, from their Langgan Villa.
Is there any connection between the two?
Shen Manxing was shamefully moved when he heard this.
