Chapter 339: 339 She is My Woman! (8)_1
"Alright."
"Let’s go to the balcony, we should not block them here."
Gu Liancheng held her back, "To the kitchen."
He had been observing from that spot for a while and noticed footprints on the balcony. Men’s shoe size. If Fang Eleven had not brought any men home, then they were definitely left by a thief.
The only places a thief would not be interested in are the bathroom and the kitchen. Therefore, the kitchen would be the safest place to stay.
Su Bai called to report that several police cars had arrived. Asking about the situation upstairs, Gu Liancheng calmly told him that something happened at Eleven’s place.
But when Su Bai heard about the burglary, he quietly swallowed hard.
So many people showed up, anyone who didn’t know... would believe there had been a murder upstairs!
Indeed, the neighbors were all too eager to gossip, all peeking through their front doors to catch a glimpse of what was happening inside. Some stated that the new resident - who had not only moved in with a child but also brought a man home in the evening – must have some chaotic personal life. No one knew which romantic rival had sought revenge on her!
Gossip escalated as it traveled. Of course, the two main characters were entirely unaware of this.
"Still can’t get through?"
"Can’t get through, Fei’er turned off her phone..."
Seeing her relief, Gu Liancheng looked askance at her. Eleven immediately explained, "I meant, it’s a good thing Fei’er wasn’t home! If she had been there when the thief came in, wouldn’t it have been a bad one?"
"It would have been a bad one." Gu Liancheng nodded.
Just as Eleven thought she had escaped the situation, she heard Gu Liancheng adding, "The thief would have ended up in the hospital."
"..."
Oh right, with Fei’er’s skills, the one in trouble would be the thief!
"Fourth Master, tomorrow, let’s definitely catch that thief! Miss Fang, what valuable items did you lose?"
"Oh? Valuables... I don’t have any valuables."
Gao "Ahh, it’s good that you didn’t lose anything. Seems like the thief left empty handed!"
The most expensive item she had she had taken with her that evening - the necklace around her neck. Did Fei’er and Jiujiu have some kind of precognition?
"Ahh!" Eleven suddenly shrieked, "There’s a diamond ring in the safe! Is it still there?"
"There isn’t a safe. Seems like the thief took the entire safe. Don’t worry, Miss Fang, we will find it for you. But could you describe the ring to us? We could ask the stores to keep a lookout in case the thief tries to pawn it."
"Ahh?" Describe?
"Yes, like its shape, weight, price, brand, where you bought it, and such."
Eleven clearly didn’t know, and silently looked at Gu Liancheng, "He, he knows!"
Despite not having done anything wrong, seeing a group of uniformed police officers made her anxious.
Gu Liancheng pointed to himself, "The one I gave you?"
She nodded, "After... after that, I took it off and locked it in the safe."
No wonder he had never seen her wearing it.
...
After handling everything and looking at the mess, Gu Liancheng said, "You can’t stay here tonight. Come back to the Sea View Villa with me."
"What?"
She had not expected to go back to that place after their divorce!
"Do you plan to stay here? Don’t you remember how the thief got in? With the door untouched, if they didn’t climb through a window, they had the keys to the place. If you sleep here alone, tomorrow I’ll be reporting a missing woman’s case!"
