It turned out that “Ravine Apparition” was the na tool that Duan He had mentioned Carron used

It was said that this ring had been given to Carron by his third wife He had given it to his daughter with the third wife to keep This daughter was Carron’s ninth one What Meng Ming needed to do was to retrieve the “Ravine Apparition” fro it back to Carron

──“It’s just stealing a ring, isn’t that too easy?!” Meng Ming had said

──“If you haven’t done anything yet, don’t just go calling it easy Here, this is their address,” Carron had replied with a serious expression on his face “The difficult point is that you don’t know the Ravine Apparition’s exact location”

──“Then where did you place this Ravine Apparition? In which drawer or under which pillow?”

──“Sorry, I forgot”

This had been their conversation yesterday

There was another related issue The Ravine Apparition was e Such a valuable item was bound to have been hidden in a secret location──this issue was so

The drizzling had long since stopped The next afternoon, Meng Ming and Huang Qiao Yi arrived in front of the door at the address Carron had told them about

It was the 9th floor, and the door number was 909 The iron door had been newly renovated, and the inner wooden door seeed recently too

Meng Ming still didn’t see anything difficult about it, since he knew Carron’s daughter lived by herself The difficulty would at ’s hidden location

“He’s really underestihed, “I won’t just dumbly sneak in and search! I’ll just knock the door and tell the daughter that her father wants the ring, and get her to give it to ive her a down pay will be fine!”

Huang Qiao Yi had remained silent the whole time Ever since she had first heard the address at which Carron’s daughter lived, she had felt that so was off about the situation

“Brother Meng Ming…”

“Mm?”

The two of the at the front door, and hadn’t yet knocked Huang Qiao Yi said with a so…this time, the matter is your own business, so I think that you should work hard to co’s shoulder and said, “I’ll go home and await your news” She then so home…

“Oi…Little Qiao?” Meng Ming hadn’t even gotten a chance to stop her before Huang Qiao Yi had ed to run off! “This is the ninth floor…”

They’d just painstakingly climbed up to the ninth floor, but she had suddenly left

Meng Ming found it strange, but he could only turn back around to stare at the door in front of him

As he faced the door, he began to think: Forget Little Qiao for now This ninth daughter should be quite young in age, so she should be easy to trick! I’ll first tell her that her father askedout fro out to show e of when she pours out tea for …

……

Meng Ming pressed the doorbell

The person behind the door seemed to have heard the bell, and some loud sounds i…kwang!” …After a long while, the front door finally began to move

Meng Ming stood at the entrance, prepared to ihter

The wooden door was slowly opened, extremely cautiously, as if afraid the one that had knocked on the door was a monster

The door finally opened wide Meng Ming was just about to speak, but the two people’s gazes met It was actually…!

……

“Bang!” Suddenly, the wooden door was slammed shut

Bai Jiu…

There were two people, one on either side of the door, both completely shocked out of their wits

How…that old baldie’s ninth daughter is actually…! Meng Ming was momentarily unable to recollect his senses

Why did Meng Ming suddenly coirl inside was also extremely shocked by her classmate’s sudden appearance outside

Already 20the doorbell During this period, Bai Jiu had changed her clothes at lightning speed, cleaned the place, and then coave off a “ Only then did she re-open the main door

The two of thele word Because Bai Jiu had never really had guests coht that soined that it would actually be Meng Ming!

Although this was the first ti was still extreht into that old baldie’s trap! I need to stay clear-headed: I ca Since it’s classht that since it was just a ring, he ht as well ask Bai Jiu about it directly

“Classan to speak

“Yes?”

“Do you know Ravine Apparition?!”

──Meng Ming went straight to the point

“I, I know it of course I was just studying that text” Bai Jiu was a bit shocked How did class with? Could it be…

Text? Meng Ming was a bit astonished, “No, not a text…” He was just about to deny this, but Bai Jiu was i Ming’s response at all Instead, she confidently declared her own conclusion, “Class, you caht!”

Meng Ming was stunned

“So it was like that! That’s right, we had agreed that we’d study together last tiot to prepare tea Instead, she ie out the notebook and learningjust now She placed these in a pile on the table with soether today!”

“Work hard…?” Meng Ming didn’t recall ever arranging anything like that In the end, he looked at the text on the table, and found that it was actually called <ravine apparition=””>

That na felt extreret He believed that he had definitely been tricked by Carron! How could a ring have that kind of name! …Carron had definitely know that Bai Jiu was currently studying, and had thus co… That old baldie, he knew all along that I was planning on directly knocking the front door to get in! <ravine apparition=””> is the text’s na it up to me…

“That, ring, is a carving knife…” Meng Ming wanted to explain, but he was afraid that he’d end up encountering another situation like that “text” one, and end up further and further trapped

“H innocently

“…” Meng Ming didn’t knohat to say, as it would be wrong nowith Bai Jiu’s intentions and study with her for a bit He’d deal with thewas properly sorted out

That daht about it, the worse his mood became To think that he’d drop into such a pit

“Thanks, class as they sat across each other at a table She picked up some reference materials and said, “I had just reached a part I didn’t understand, and wanted to ask you! These two reference ──this one, in the ninth sentence of the ninth paragraph, says…”

Meng Ming was rubbing his forehead in distress, thinking: Classmate Bai Jiu actually fell into her academic persona so quickly…

In only half a minute, Bai Jiu had already co had absolutely no clue what the question she had asked hly understood her words

“That sentence just now…” Bai Jiu earnestly passed the book over for him to look at

“Eh, oh…”

Meng Ming was still pondering how to ask her about where the ring had been hidden under such circumstances However, this situation was definitely not as si hih it would be ok if Meng Ming didn’t kno to respond 1-2 questions, if Bai Jiu asked anycould say he didn’t know any of them!

crap… Meng Ming finally realized this really wasn’t a simple task I need to cheat…? Then I’ll try this…
