963 Catching the Thief
Qin Xi and Han Shi did not say anything. Instead, they held their breaths and hid above the wardrobe.
When Madam Yunqing heard the ear-piercing alarm from the Gu worm, she immediately tensed up. She gave the two bodyguards behind her a look. The bodyguards understood and took out the daggers from their pockets before tiptoeing upstairs. Behind them, Madam Yunqing followed with a sharp and ruthless gaze.
The Gu worm was still letting out ear-piercing cries. This cry was like the chirping of cicadas. It was noisy and unsettling, making Qin Xi, who was pregnant, feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Han Shi bent his fingertip and flicked out a trace of true Qi. The true Qi hit the Gu worm like a bullet, causing it to explode. Only then did the ear-piercing sound stop.
Madam Yunqing’s expression changed drastically. Knowing that her Gu worm was dead, the anger in her heart instantly soared. Not only did these people come uninvited, but they also killed her Gu worm in her territory. It seemed that those comers weren’t simple.
At the thought of this, she took out a flute the length of a finger and blew on it, letting out a low and sinister flute sound. Immediately, the Gu worms in the bedroom began to move slightly. A pair of red eyes appeared from the crack in the wall. Those red eyes looked especially strange.
The corners of Madam Yunqing’s mouth curled up into a cold smile. “Hmph, you ignorant thief. Since you dare to trespass my territory, you can forget about leaving.”
The one with red eyes was a small snake. It was very poisonous and was specially refined by her. Unlike Gu worms, the snake was her pet. It usually hid in the cracks of the wall.
At this moment, when it heard the sound of the flute, a small blood-red snake crawled out with its tongue sticking out. Following the smell, it quickly crawled to the wardrobe.
Unfortunately, the opponents it faced weren’t ordinary people. As it climbed up the wardrobe, Qin Xi’s silver needles had already pierced its neck. The little snake hissed twice.
In order not to alarm Madam Yunqing, a dark fire suddenly lit up between Qin Xi’s fingers. Before the little snake could close its eyes, it was burned to death. A wisp of green smoke that could not be seen with the naked eye floated into Qin Xi’s body.
At this moment, Madam Yunqing felt that something was wrong. She knew how powerful her snake was. Even an expert like her Senior Brother might not be able to deal with it, let alone a little thief.
However, after waiting for a long time, she did not hear any sound coming from inside the bedroom, which made her a little puzzled.
Madam Yunqing thought for a moment and gave the two bodyguards a look. The two of them took a deep breath and quickly rushed into the bedroom. They thought that they would be met with sharp blades, but they realized that the entire bedroom was empty.
The two bodyguards looked at each other. One of them rummaged through the bedroom, while the other pushed open the bathroom door. After searching for a long time, they did not see anyone. Only then did the two of them leave.
“Madam, there’s no one inside!”
Madam Yunqing said firmly, “That’s impossible. There must be someone inside.”
Hence, the two bodyguards entered the bedroom again and checked carefully for a long time. In the end, they only took out the Gu worm that Han Shi had killed. “Madam, that thief should have left.”
“Go and see my snake. Perhaps it’s dead too.” Madam Yunqing did not walk into the bedroom. Instead, she instructed the bodyguards to go in and look for it.
In the end, they couldn’t find the snake.
Madam Yunqing narrowed her eyes and followed the bodyguards in. Seeing that there was indeed no one in the bedroom, she was relieved. However, at the thought of someone breaking into her bedroom, her face darkened. “What are the security guards doing outside? They don’t even know that someone broke in. Go, get them to find the person. If they can’t, let them get lost.”
