1296 I Want to Make You Stay 174 (1/2)

”Take it, let's go quickly.” She passed him an amulet and then grabbed onto his arm to pull him toward the wall leading to the Donggong family mansion.

This wall was different from other walls in the mansion because, while other walls were especially tall, this one was about the same height as An Xiaoning. It was not difficult to climb over it at all.

An Xiaoning let him climb over first and followed afterward. The moment they had gone over the wall, she vomited first. As he could not take it either, he vomited after her. The two completely emptied out their stomachs of their dinner.

An Xiaoning took out two bottles of mineral water from her bag, and the two each took one to rinse their mouths.

The feeling that they had in the mansion earlier was absolutely disgusting. Donggong Lianzhi still had not realized where the stench had come from as he remarked, ”That smell was absolutely terrible.”

”How can the smell of corpses possibly smell good?”

”Corpses?”

”You were too focused on going ahead just now that you didn't notice a pile of corpses lying around near the entrance. The stench is so strong because the corpses are all highly decomposed.”

Donggong Lianzhi stood on his toes confidently and looked a distance away. When he saw the pile of bodies clearly, he retreated hurriedly and exclaimed, ”Why are there so many…?”

”After seeing how your grandmother wanted to punish me so readily, I'm not surprised. To beat up someone to death and leave them lying there without incinerating them is far more than just being wicked. The amulet I just passed you only lasts the whole of tonight. You can just place it in your pocket, you don't have to keep holding onto it.”

”Alright.”

”From now onwards, we should try to refrain from talking. At this time, most people should still be awake. But since the elderly sleep earlier than young people, we should head to your grandfather and grandmother's place first. You lead the way. I'll pull you away when there's a need to hide from the surveillance cameras later.”

Donggong Lianzhi nodded in agreement. He was definitely more familiar with the routes inside the Donggong family mansion than An Xiaoning was.

While he led the way, An Xiaoning took note of the surveillance cameras. The two were working together with rather great chemistry and managed to hide from the surveillance cameras, the guards on duty, as well as the servants and family members of the Donggong family. They successfully arrived at the wall outside the Old Master and Old Madam's mansion.

Needless to say, there were many surveillance cameras and guards on duty near the entrance, so the two could only climb over the wall again.

This time, they did not enter the mansion directly from climbing the wall but used the wall to climb to the roof.

They were extremely careful when they stepped on the tiles on the roof, as a single sound they made could attract attention, ruining all their plans for tonight.

Aside from that, because the roof was slightly tilted to one side, they had to watch out to balance themselves and not fall down.

An Xiaoning whispered to him, ”Is this side your grandparents' bedroom? Or the other side?”

”The other side.”

An Xiaoning's gaze landed on a tile not far away, and she cautiously stepped on it and bent down to pick up the tile. Underneath the tile was a piece of oilcloth that had been placed there because rain tended to leak through the roof of such old houses. Usually, simply placing a piece of oilcloth with a tile pressed down on it would block the rain from leaking through. With the tile and oilcloth removed, they were able to see the situation inside the house.

With one leg stepping on the tile, she lowered her body and crept over the empty hole, peeking inside the house.

There were more than ten young men seated inside, and they appeared to be Donggong Lianzhi's cousins, judging from their age.

This morning when they came here, she had heard some servants calling Donggong Lianzhi Seventeenth Young Sir. That meant that he still had sixteen older cousins.

This was really a family that could give birth to so many children.

Old Madam's voice was crisp and clear, and everything that she said was heard loud and clear above by the two.
