Chapter 1731 - He Is Actually Rather Dashing (1) (1/2)

If she stayed, wouldn’t that mean letting the cat out of the bag at the Lu family’s main villa?

At the thought of this, Qiao Yiyi gave her usual answer, “It’s ok, I have somewhere to stay at.”

Then she walked to the door.

Lu Nanze: …

He would have tried to talk her around, but he knew Traceless well enough. She wasn’t one to go back on her word, so if she said she wasn’t staying, she wouldn’t.

But suddenly recalling something as Traceless neared the doorway, he asked, “Why are you here, by the way?”

With a casual wave of her hand, she said, “To retrieve my merchandise.”

Since she had the gemstone with her now, it didn’t matter if she told him the truth.

But as soon as she had said this, the man turned pale. He rushed towards her, but she quickly dashed into the courtyard.

He panicked wildly.

Darn!

Why had he forgotten to tell the girl?

The new owner of the item could no longer be trusted.

When the person had found out that Lu Nanze had been trying to track down Traceless, this person had betrayed the girl. And this new owner must have done likewise, too, when Liang Liang had been trying to track down Traceless.

Otherwise, how could both Liang Liang and himself have ended up at the Li family residence at the same time?

But obviously, Traceless was none the wiser.

Besides, the day set to hand in the stolen merchandise… Well, that wasn’t going to happen at all now.

Because the buyer had already given up on the gemstone.

Hence, all of this was only a ploy by the police.

He wondered about the roles Bai Anan and Liang Liang had played in this scheme.

The man became increasingly anxious as he thought about it.
