Chapter 588: Stolen
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Unfortunately, Shi Man would not give him a chance to fool her.
In the silent villa, only the old man’s panting breathing and slow footsteps could be heard.
Shi Man stood alone in the living room and looked up the stairs with her cold eyes. She saw Yi Che supporting the old Yi Ming as he staggered downstairs.
“There’s no need to pretend.” Shi Man glanced at his footsteps and looked away impatiently. “You’ve long recovered and your body is very strong. You won’t die for a while.”
Yi Ming held his breath. He had never been spoken to like this by a junior in his life. His face immediately flushed red.
He took a few quick steps down the stairs and came to her. “What do you want? Do you think my life is too long?”
Only then did Shi Man turn around to face him and sneer. “You know what I want to do. That heat poison was taken away from you, right?”
“Nonsense!” Yi Ming glared and retorted without thinking, “I don’t know what heat poison is. You caused a scene at my house this time and insisted on breaking into the house. Yet, you are trying to lay a crime on me?”
Shi Man had long expected him to not admit it. She deliberately put on an unfathomable expression, narrowed her eyes, and smiled. “Don’t you want to know how Yi Zheng wants to deal with you now?”
Yi Ming’s eyelids twitched, and Yi Che lowered the corners of his eyes. He stood in front of his grandfather pitifully. “Sister-in-law, no matter what, we’re family now. Isn’t it a little rude for you to barge in and question Grandpa like this?”
“Politeness is reserved for people worthy of respect,” Shi Man said sarcastically. “I’ve never been good to those who have done evil.”
“Girl, I’m Yi Zheng’s eldest grandfather after all!” Yi Ming pushed Yi Che away angrily and walked over to confront Shi Man personally. However, when he thought of Yi Zheng outside the door, his aura suddenly weakened. “What do you want to know? If I know, I’ll tell you.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Is the medicine you hid in the hospital all gone?”
Yi Che suddenly looked up at his grandfather. Seeing the other party nod in resignation, his heart sank.
He hurriedly walked forward and looked at Shi Man pleadingly. “Sister-in-law, Grandpa didn’t mean to harm anyone. That thing was stolen. We really don’t know what happened.”
Shi Man glanced at Yi Ming and said coldly, “I know, so I want to ask how that thing was stolen. Didn’t you notice anything?”
Yi Ming and Yi Che looked at each other. Neither of them spoke first.
Looking at the current situation, since Shi Man already knew so much, Yi Zheng must have already known Yi Ming’s deed.
He pondered for a moment and said, “I didn’t use that thing after finding it. Instead, I put it in the safe in the study. But a few days ago, my study was suddenly broken into, and everything in the safe was stolen.”
Shi Man clearly didn’t believe him.
Yi Ming simply brought her to his most secret study and pointed at the empty safe under the desk. “Look, there’s nothing in here! Even our Yi family’s heirloom was stolen! I still haven’t found out who did this wicked thing!” “Didn’t you think of asking for help?” Shi Man narrowed her eyes and squatted down to look at the obvious mark on the safe. She immediately made a call.
Yi Ming defended himself awkwardly. “You know that with that thing inside, how can we find others to help? Wouldn’t that attract trouble? Now that such a thing has happened, we don’t dare to make a fuss at all. We just want that poison not to appear and harm others.”
Shi Man glanced at him and said with disdain, “What’s the family heirloom? Is it very valuable?”
Yi Ming paused for a moment, clearly not expecting her to be concerned about this. He nodded in shock and said, “Yes, that’s something left behind by our ancestors. It has to be at least tens of millions. If you meet a buyer you really like, it’s possible to sell it for a higher price.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows and said, “Give me a copy of the blueprint of your family heirloom. I might be able to help you find it.”
Yi Ming did not expect Shi Man to have such thoughts and was overjoyed. He hurriedly asked Yi Che to bring the document for Shi Man to appraise the treasure. He pointed at the colorful map drawn by the expert and said, “These two wine glasses. They don’t look like much, but they’re actually priceless.”
“Yes.” Shi Man was not interested in this thing. The reason why she wanted this blueprint was not to help Yi Ming find something. She had another purpose.
Since Lin Si could get that woman called Chi Ling to help him join forces with Lin Yue to attack Shi He last time, it was hard to guarantee that Lin Si did not have other helpers!
