Zhang Heng’s was in great luck, managing to spot the intruder’s shadow the moment he entered the house. It appeared that the person was sitting right by the table. The sound of the front door opening managed to capture the person’s attention, who turned around to glance at the door quickly. However, it was too late, for, at the same time, Zhang Heng came in from the window. Before the person could turn around, Zhang Heng used his gun and knocked the intruder out cold.

The night was bathed in a pale glow from the full moon, and Zhang Heng used the light to check his surroundings ensuring that there were no more enemies lurking around. Next, he stealthily tiptoed to the first floor, checking all the rooms. Once he was sure that the house was clear of intruders, Zhang Heng lit up the oil lamp.

……….

Anne was now back from the tavern. She noticed a lady in her twenties lying on the table, and Zhang Heng was frisking her.

“Oh, gos.h.!.+ Did I come back too early? I’m so sorry for interrupting your session!”

Immediately, Anne turned around and was about to leave the house.

“Stop fooling around. Come back here! Do you know this woman?”

After Zhang Heng searched her, he found no weapons or dangerous items on her. He was shocked to see that the intruder was a woman. Though she entered the house without permission, she didn’t touch anything apart from the cup of tea on the table. Judging from her skin tone and attire, Zhang Heng guessed she hailed from a wealthy family. Usually, a lady like her would not come to a place as rough as Na.s.sau, let alone breaking into a house. That was why Zhang Heng could only guess that she was Anne’s friend.

“I don’t know her,” replied Anne with a burp.

“You didn’t even look at her properly!”

“That is because I don’t have a single female friend ever since I was born to this world,” said Anne while shaking her hands.

Under the influence of alcohol, Anne’s face flushed bright red.

“There’s only one way left now.”

“What?”

“Let’s ask her about it when she comes to.”

Zhang Heng did not hit her too hard because he did not know what her intention was. In less than two hours, the lady regained consciousness. Zhang Heng made use of the time to finish up supper. As for Anne, she was fondling with the makeup mirror that she found on the lady.

“I thought you don’t like things like this.”

“You are right. I don’t like these kinds of things but I remember that my father giving me a mirror when I was 14 years old. This mirror looks quite expensive, actually. I believe that it can be sold for a handsome amount of money.”
