Chapter 289: Chapter 211: Night Visitor

"No, I’m really busy... I only have time when I’m with Sui Yi from our family," Gong Jiu said with a proud expression.

Oh, so your time depends on who you’re with, huh?

Liang Qing smiled silently and obediently continued cooking, while Jiang Chenyu maintained his usual silence.

The atmosphere was actually a bit odd, but everyone else seemed not to notice.

And that was how the dinner passed that evening.

Shortly after, this conversation took place in the study.

Gong Jiu: "Sui Yi, I need to talk to you about something."

Sui Yi: "Speak."

Gong Jiu: "About tonight...we need to make some arrangements, haha, what’s this?"

Sui Yi: "....."

Gong Jiu: "~!!! Underwear, underwear~! Yours?!! So small... smaller than mine."

Sui Yi: "I know you’re fatter than I am."

Gong Jiu: ".... Stop it, the body is more honest than the mouth~~ What are you going to do?"

Sui Yi: "Bathe."

Gong Jiu: "Eh? No fighting today?"

Sui Yi: "She won’t come, the first night is too sensitive, I must avoid suspicion."

Gong Jiu: "Oh, that makes sense, then that’s great~~ I’ll shower with you~~ wait for me to get my clothes~~"

Gong Jiu stepped out of the room, and bang! The door closed.

It seemed she hadn’t realized that Sui Yi’s mention of avoiding suspicion meant he was hinting at her to leave...

Late at night, around midnight, the silvery moonlight seemed soaked by the water’s shine, gradually releasing a cool light, slowly growing in the dark night, gradually dissolving among the dappled tree shadows, but beneath that depth was a mask, what you truly saw was a hauntingly beautiful night with rustling shadows and a pleasant breeze.

At Villa 13 on Yujiang Mountain, the yard was very spacious and quiet since Sui Yi didn’t much care for decorating the surroundings; it remained just as it had always been, thus the emptiness and coolness still prevailed, especially during the deep night.

The villa was now without light, only the outdoor lamplight somewhat diluted, casting faint reflections on the glass walls.

A simple needle could etch a circular piece of glass out of a mirror surface, a single hair could conquer all locks, even Sui Yi’s significantly valued villa, reputed for its stringent security, couldn’t withstand some truly skilled individuals.

Every room was quiet until suddenly, a door opened, leaking light into the hallway; Sui Yi emerged from the room, her slippers making no sound on the carpet as she went downstairs to the kitchen to make a cup of hot water, slowly drinking it while looking out at the night through the window. After a while, she held her cup and walked upstairs...

When she reached her room, she paused slightly, turned her head to look towards the left side of the hallway with just one glance, then turned back and entered her room, her palm slowly closing the door... creak~~ bang!

All light ceased with that sound, and around the corner of the hallway, behind a tall potted plant, a head slowly peeked out, staring intently at Sui Yi’s room door...

About three hours later, around 3 a.m., the door slowly opened, silently, a shadow ghosted in, looking around the room before finally resting on the raised part of the bed.

After only a glance, he pulled something out of his pocket, pinching it between his fingers, the small cotton-like white sphere was crushed, releasing wisp of white smoke into the room...

Standing still for about a dozen breaths, he then moved, faster than before, nimbly searching through various objects in Sui Yi’s room...

After about fifteen minutes, seemingly finding nothing, he crouched in front of a drawer in silence for a moment, then slowly turned his head to look towards the bed.

Rising, he walked over, stood beside the bed, looking down...

For ten breaths.

His hand suddenly reached out, grabbed, and flipped!

Whir!

The blanket was completely flipped over.

The bed was empty!

His eyes narrowed! He turned and rushed towards the door!

However, just a meter from the door, a sword suddenly thrust out from the adjacent bathroom!

—There was someone in the bathroom!

It was only the Sword Sheath, but it came slashing through the air, fangs bared!

It was just inches from his neck...

In a flash of light and shadow, his head jerked back, his waist arched backwards, bending more than 90 degrees, allowing the Sword Sheath to miss decapitating him, and his body eerily slid away... with a snap, the door was pulled open, and the shadow was about to burst out.

But he instinctively turned his head, perhaps out of a strong self-confidence or curiosity, so he looked towards the bathroom.
