Chapter 1669 - A New Beginning (9) (1/2)

How had she gotten in and out?

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and waved at the butler to leave.

The butler retreated.

Lu Nanze looked around. If Traceless hadn’t left, then it was possible that she was still in the house.

At this thought, he got on his feet and dashed upstairs.

He went alone stealthily to the study on the third floor, without alerting anyone.

He looked around the third floor, ensuring that there was nowhere for hiding, and then entered the study. He approached the drawers and opened one of them, confirming that the bracelet had indeed disappeared.

He walked to the window again and looked down.

The villa was comparatively higher than average, even the third floor was about four meters from the ground. How could she possibly not get hurt?

It was impossible for her to jump directly on the ground. So she had to still be in the house!

At this thought, he immediately became alert.

His sharp gaze swept the room, ensuring that everything was in place on the third floor, before he went to the second floor.

His bedroom was on the second floor and the housekeepers would normally not go there.

With a frow, he inspected every room briefly before going to the first floor.

Could it be that Traceless was among his housekeepers?

The possibility was very small.

However, he suddenly heard a movement in the room. Spinning around, he asked, “Who’s there?”

Upon uttering these words, he saw a petit, frail and almost pitiful female figure step out of the shadows. It was Qiao Yiyi.

She looked at Lu Nanze timidly, biting her lip, almost too frightened to hold his gaze for too long. She lowered her head and stared at her toes with awkward coyness.

Lu Nanz frowned and asked, “What are you doing here?”
