Chapter 34 - The Most Peaceful Meal (2/2)

“Alright, then I’ll go back first. If there’s anything you need help with, call me. Oh right, remember to drink the soup while it’s hot.”

Having just eaten her lunch, Chi Yaoxi placed the soup on the dining table, not intending to drink it immediately.

After her father left, she went back to her room to read some books and rest when she was tired.

After more than ten minutes, the room was suddenly pitch black. There was a blackout. Aiya, this was a rare occurrence. Chi Yaoxi quickly got up to look for the emergency light. She remembered that it was in the dressing table cabinet in the room.

Chi Yaoxi felt around as she walked forward. Before she could find the light, she suddenly heard the door outside open. She was about to go out and take a look when she heard her father and stepmother talking outside.

“A blackout is a good thing. Turn on the flashlight later and lower your voice. You won’t wake her up, right?” It was her stepmother’s voice.

“Don’t worry, she drank the soup. She should be sleeping soundly at this time.” It was her father, Chi Jianming’s voice.

“Are you sure you know where she places her property certificates?”

“The study. Go there. I know my own daughter. I heard from her that the safe is in the study. The important documents and valuables are inside, but I don’t know if the password has been changed.”

“I reminded you two days ago when the incident happened. This time, Chi Yaoxi will definitely be done for. We have to quickly think of a way to take away all her valuables. Otherwise, when the time comes, we’ll have to compensate others, and we won’t have anything left.” This was her stepmother’s voice. Chi Yaoxi covered her mouth in shock, completely stunned.

This was too much! Was this still considered a family? She hadn’t done anything, yet they only wanted to get the money and the property deed! When she was in the most difficult situation, not only did her family not help her, they even came up with a sinister plan to reap benefits and snatch valuable things!

What made Chi Yaoxi even angrier was her father, Chi Jianming! She chose to believe her father again, but now she realized how stupid she had been!

Initially, she thought that her father was genuinely here to comfort her. He had come all the way here to bring her hot soup so that she could take care of herself. She did not expect that the soup was drugged, that she would fall asleep after drinking it so that they could take the chance to steal.

How fortunate, Chi Yaoxi thought. Fortunately, she did not drink that bowl of soup. If she drank it and fell asleep, the consequences would be unimaginable. What kind of father and stepmother is this! She would have nothing to do with them in the future. They were clearly two old thieves!

Chi Yaoxi hid behind the door, hesitating whether she should call the police immediately. Against such a bold old thief, the police should be mobilized. However, Chi Yaoxi thought about it again. Sigh! There were too many things happening now. If the police arrested them, the matter would blow up again and affect her badly.

Chi Yaoxi took out her phone and secretly called Sister Ming, asking her to come quickly. There was an urgent matter that she needed help with, the sooner the better!

Fortunately, Sister Ming’s place was not far from Chi Yaoxi’s house. In less than five minutes, Sister Ming arrived panting.

Two people were complaining to each other in the study.

“Didn’t you say you know the password? Why can’t you open it? The safe is so heavy, you can’t take it away!”
