Early the next morning, I rang the doorbell of a fancy apartment.
Jiang Heng told me that we only came this time to steal a relic from Helian City.He knows I'm angry about that case, but no matter how unfair the case was, it's settled now, and I can't change it.This matter still has to focus on the overall situation, and we can't give away our feet because of this.
"The leg doesn't hurt anymore?" Jiang Heng glanced down at my ankle.
I turned my ankle and felt it: "It doesn't seem to hurt anymore..." After finishing speaking, I was interested, "But what kind of prescription is that, does it work for other bruises?" It took only one night to see the effect So good, this poor woman seems to have seen a way to make a fortune.
"Ordinary injuries are useless."
"Oh." I raised my wrist and looked at it, there were still a few finger marks left by Jiang Heng last night, "Then this one can only wait for it to heal slowly."
He frowned slightly: "Did I grab it that badly?"
"It's okay..."
"let me see."
This itself was left by him to save me, but now it seems to make him feel guilty.I sighed a few times and hid my hands behind my back: "It's okay, I couldn't help what happened last night, I used so much strength, it's inevitable that there will be a black spot..."
As soon as I finished speaking, the mahogany door in front of me opened, revealing a middle-aged woman who looked like a housekeeper, looking at us delicately.
I smiled froze, looked at her expression and speculated, and gradually realized that what I just said did not sound right to an uninformed person, so I quickly cleared my throat and stood up straight.
She straightened her expression and gave us a friendly smile: "Is it the young master's friend who said he was coming yesterday?"
We nodded: "Yes."
She asked again: "Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?
"It is not."
Seeing her confusion, I pinched Jiang Heng's arm lightly and smiled: "We are. He is shy."
"Come in, come in." She stepped aside, and after we entered, she closed the door behind her.
The living room is bright and spacious with polished wood floors that are as clear as a mirror.A middle-aged woman in a cheongsam was holding a tea cup, standing by the French window overlooking the scenery outside, and turned her head with a smile when she heard the sound of us entering the door: "Friends from the small town? Come and sit down."
We sat down on the white sofa stiffly.She slowly walked around, and while sitting down, she lightly placed the teacup on the glass coffee table, with a crisp "ding".
Jiang Heng frowned indiscernibly.
"It's been a long time since anyone came to visit Xiaocheng. The last time someone came was a friend from his game." She sighed, "This kid had so many cronies during his lifetime, but few of them came to see him after the incident happened."
I didn't know how to answer the call for a while.She was silent for a moment, then smiled and looked at us left and right: "I am very happy that you are here."
I sneered, and said in my heart that if I could, I would not want to come at all.
As the lady was talking, she suddenly noticed the bulging bag beside me: "What did you bring, it's so full?"
"Our coat." I hurriedly patted the soft bag filled with white silk.
"The weather is getting cold now, so I need to wear more clothes." She nodded, "I remember you want to go to the room in Xiaocheng?"
"Yes, if it's inconvenient..."
"It's okay, I'll clean it up and call you up again." She smiled at us and got up.
Watching my wife go up the stairs, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
An unoccupied room... still need to clean up?
Noticing the clue, I became nervous at once. After all, the scene where the command changed as soon as it was said last time was really a lifelong shadow, so I hurriedly asked Jiang Heng next to me in a low voice: "Why do I pack up when the room is empty? Isn't Madam dead too?"
He shook his head, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Did you see that baseball in front of you?"
I followed his gaze and looked over.There are many silver and metal bookshelves embedded on the marble wall opposite, one of which has a photo of Heliancheng playing baseball, and next to it is a square glass box containing baseballs, which seems to be specially collected.
"I see, what's wrong?"
"The record next to it is dusty, and this glass box is still so clean...Maybe this ball is very special to He Liancheng, and we have to get it." Jiang Heng glanced at the marble stairs spiraling up, " She doesn't seem to give you her son's things. Now that she says to pack up, she may be putting away the small things that are convenient to take away in his room."
I never doubted Jiang Heng's intuition, so I said, "That housekeeper has been watching us from behind. I'm going to get the ball, and you find a way to distract him."
He nodded, then stood up and walked over there, the nanny hurriedly greeted him.He said, "Can you pour us two glasses of water?"
"...Okay, sir, you go sit down, I'll just get ready..."
"It's okay, I'll be with you. She needs to add some vitamins to her water, it's not easy to handle."
The kitchen is open, and although there is a large dining room separated from the living room, you can still see the situation here at a glance.I took advantage of the two of them chattering in the kitchen over there, and quickly ran over and took the box down.
The nanny was dealing with Jiang Heng's pleasantries, and suddenly seemed to think of something. When she turned to look at me, I was already sitting on the sofa with a cute face, with one hand pressed on the bag.The glass box was lying quietly inside.
She turned back suspiciously.
After a while, Jiang Heng came back with two glasses of water, handed one to me, and gave me a questioning look.I nod.
Afterwards, you only need to pretend to turn around in his room, go back and find a mirror to drag him out and beat him up, then kick him back to reincarnation, and everything will be fine.
He suppressed a smile: "You are quite athletic."
"Congratulations." I drank my saliva with a smile, but almost didn't spit it out, "What did you put in it..." This person put pepper as vitamin powder.
After another meeting, the secretary's wife came down from the stairs. Seeing the two of us get up at the same time, she quickly explained: "Xiaocheng didn't like too many people in the room, so it's best to only go to one at a time..."
How could Jiang Heng agree: "Auntie, the three of us are all friends, so it's a little weird to say that."
"It's not that I can't see you. Although Xiaocheng has left, I still want to respect his habits..."
I saw that Mrs. Secretary was determined to let only one person go up, so she said: "In that case, I'll go first."
Both Bai Ling and the baseball are in my bag, in case something happens to He Liancheng's lair, it will definitely be safer for me to go than Jiang Heng.Even if Jiang Heng is going, I can't give him the bag in front of my wife.
Although I got the things, if I turn around and leave at this time, it will inevitably arouse my wife's suspicion, and it will be difficult to tear my face at that time.It's okay to deal with her alone, but the manpower behind her is not something the two of us can handle...
The front is a scary ghost, and the back is an equally scary person. It's better to be safe.
Jiang Heng frowned and looked at me. He must have disagreed, but since his wife was right in front of him, he didn't say anything.
Madam was satisfied this time, she turned her head and said to Jiang Heng: "Then trouble you to stay here before she comes out." After speaking, she said to me with some concerns, "Let's put your bag downstairs, take it with you." I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go up..."
I naturally declined.She gave it an extra look with a strange look in her eyes, and led me upstairs anyway.
