Chapter 165 Exposed (1/2)
A Miao jumped out of bed and changed clothes as quickly as possible.
”Where are you going?” As soon as Shen Xinglan pushed the door open and came in, he saw the little woman was ready to go out.
”Huh?” A Miao put down her sneakers. ”I... I'll go out and take a look...”
Shen Xinglan did not think much about it as he stretched out his hand and pushed her back. ”Stay in the room and don't run around. Don't make me worry.”
”No... I don't think that's for me, is it?” A Miao's eyes rolled. ”Maybe it's a thief or something.”
”There has never been a thief in this villa,” Shen Xinglan looked at her curiously, ”but there have been several kidnappings.”
People who lived in such places were all multimillionaires. Their security systems were comparable to that of a bank. It was hard to think of anyone who wanted to rob them.
”Don't come out, OK?” Shen Xinglan could not help touching her head. Then, he heard Shen I knocking on the door outside and call him, exhorting him to come out.
A Miao hurriedly spun in place. She knew that it was definitely a thief coming to grab the jade pendant, but Shen Xinglan and the others were all guarding her. So, just in case... Thinking of this, she opened the door with clenched teeth.
”Miss?” Shen I and Shen II looked at her in surprise.
Shen Xinglan tried to pull her back into the room, but was pushed away by A Miao. ”Go to the safe and take a look. Someone wants to steal your bronze mirror jade pendant.”
”...”
The three people did not move.
”Really!” A Miao said urgently. ”Someone found a thief through the underground network and released the task of stealing the bronze mirror jade pendant. I didn't expect someone to take it so soon, otherwise, I would have told you during the day.”
Shen Xinglan opened his mouth, thinking of her words during the day. ”Is this what you said you should consider for one night?”
”Oh, I'll explain it to you later. Now go and watch the safe!”
”Shen I, you stay.” Shen Xinglan's eyes were dark, and when he turned to leave, he gave another explanation.
In the room, Shen I stared at her with a face of inquiry.
”Miss...”
”Don't ask me how I know.” A Miao raised her hand to interrupt him. ”I'll explain it to your Boss later.”
”Lest I have to say it again later.”
”Alright!” Shen I nodded and A Miao gave him a quick look. ”Why don't we go and take a look?” She was really not at ease.
Shen I gave a strong wave of his hand. ”No, Boss said he wouldn't let you out.”
A Miao was about to say that it wasn't her who was in danger when she heard a noise outside the window. As soon as Shen I heard it, he immediately turned back and saw a white light before his eyes. The next second, his eyes spin around as he fell to the ground paralyzed.
”Shen Xinglan...” With only enough time to shout, A Miao was also stung by the white light and passed out.
When she woke up, there was a familiar voice in her ear.
”Awake?” Lil Xi squatted down. ”I went through a lot of trouble to catch you.”
Aware that he was too close, A Miao instinctively backed away and leaned against the wall. She slowly raised her head and found many strange instruments of torture around her, glowing coldly in the dim light.
”Do you know where you are?” Lil Xi casually took a mace from the wall and waved it.
Of course, she knew that it was the underground prison built by Shen Xinglan. She had been there once before.
”Don't worry, I won't hit you.” Lil Xi clicked his tongue. ”I heard that you have claustrophobia.”
A Miao took a deep breath. ”What do you really intend to do?”
”What do you intend to do?” Lil Xi took out his cell phone. ”Unexpectedly, you can come up with this idiotic method, trying to trick me by saying Shanshan is a fake. I wonder if Shen is out of his mind or if you had them send me these messages.”
”They didn't lie to you.” A Miao stood up slowly against the wall. The damp and dark stone wall made her shiver.
Lil Xi said, ”An idiot would believe that.”
”If you go out now and ask Shen Xinglan, you will naturally know whether it is true or not.” A Miao urged him, ”Everyone knows that she was sent by someone else to get close to Shen Xinglan. In order to catch the mastermind behind this, Shen Xinglan did not expose her.”
”Shut up!” Lil Xi titled his eye. ”Why are you saying this? You want me to let you go? Hahaha. If I go to Shen now, the first thing he'll want me to do is letting you go. I'm not stupid.”
A Miao felt that this stupid teenager was increasingly unable to communicate and wished to give him two slaps. ”Then you intend to lock me up here?”
”For the time being!” Lil Xi looked relaxed. ”When Shen finds out that you are gone, they will look everywhere, but no one will think that I would hide you under the villa.”
The so-called most dangerous place was actually the safest place. Lil Xi looked at A Miao proudly. ”I'll take you away after they relax in a few days!”
He walked slowly to the wall lamp and gave her a strange smile. ”But until then, you have to stay alone in this dark stone house.” He crushed the bulbs one by one along the wall.
”I am a generous person so I will leave you some food and water.” He kicked the bag at his feet and walked over to the last lamp. ”Of course, I will leave you a lamp.”
A Miao watched as the light gradually darkened around her, but there was nothing she could do. She did not try to persuade Lil Xi anymore. She knew that this guy would not believe anything she said.
”Well, I hope you will be alive when I come back in a few days!”
The rusty iron gate made a rattling sound. As it slammed shut, A Miao's heart sank into fear.
At the same time, Shen Xinglan was sitting in the hall with a cold look and Le Yi was making a phone call nearby.
