Chapter 85

Long Ye Tian noticed that there was someone there, and when he turned around, he saw Su Xiao Wu standing not far behind him.

Long Ye Tian glanced at her without a word, and then turned his gaze towards the ocean.

"Weren't you and Hong Lian …" Xiao Wu tilted his head in confusion, but he did not finish his words.

"Didn't you say so yourself?"

"I'm just joking."

A few black lines flashed across Su Xiao Wu's forehead.

She walked to Long Ye Tian's side and sat down, feeling the cool sea breeze blowing by.

The two of them sat there quietly. Neither of them spoke up to break this rare silence.

Xiao Wu raised his head and looked at the night sky. Previously, it was a gloomy and depressing night, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the night sky was filled with stars.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen the starry sky, but he had the feeling that tonight's starry sky was surprisingly beautiful.

Xiao Wu slowly fell asleep, and when he woke up on the second day, he had already returned to his own room.

She took a shower, changed her clothes, and went out. Just as she reached the staircase, she heard a sound coming from the living room downstairs.

If you listen carefully, you will find that it was Long Ye Tian's voice. "You can keep this money, you can leave, I don't need you."

These words startled Xiao Wu a little, but in the end he still wanted Hong Lian to leave, even though it was within his expectations.

"Sir …" Hong Lian obviously could not accept such an outcome. She even cried out, "Please don't send me away, okay?"

Hong Lian rubbed her eyes as she tried her best to hold back her tears, "I will do anything. I will not disturb you, Sir. "Just like yesterday, I can help you prepare a bath towel when you're bathing, and I can also cook for you …"

Preparing a bath towel? So Hong Lian had only prepared a bath towel for Long Ye Tian last night? She thought it was a bath? Uh...

With that thought, Su Xiao Wu instantly felt that his thoughts were much dirtier …

Standing at the side, Xiao Wu did not move, and did not go out either. Since he was willing to take care of this kind of matter, why would she appear again?

looked pleadingly at Long Ye Tian.

His voice was as cold as usual, "I don't need any of that. Since you have treated me as your master, then just listen to me obediently. "

With a single sentence, all of her thoughts were cut off, causing Hong Lian's face to turn deathly pale.

Hong Lian shut his eyes in despair: "Thank you, sir, for taking care of me." She bit her lips as she received the money Long Ye Tian had given her, bowed deeply to him, and walked out of the house with reddened eyes.

Xiao Wu was watching from the stairs on the second floor. It just happened to be around the corner, and the people below couldn't see her.

At this time, she felt that it would be better for her not to show herself.

"You've heard enough, yet you still won't come down?" When Hong Lian went out of the door, she opened her mouth and looked in her direction. Xiao Wu knew then that she had been discovered.

She did not hide and confidently walked down the stairs. "I'm hungry."

Long Ye Tian obviously did not think that her first sentence would actually be about this, but he did not say anything more and took the lead to walk towards the door.

Xiao Wu quickly followed in his footsteps, and no one mentioned anything about Hong Lian anymore. Since it had been settled, it just went along with the wind, and she also wished that girl a good luck in finding other ways to live.

Returning to the villa after eating dinner, Xiao Wu went into the house to change his clothes to go play at the beach. However, he unexpectedly discovered that the medicinal pill he obtained from Hong Lian had actually disappeared!

When Long Ye Tian heard the news and went to see her room, there was only an empty box on the table.

"When I woke up in the morning, I had the pill inside. I even carefully locked the door, so there was no reason for me to throw it away." Xiao Wu frowned, and looked carefully at the box, trying to find some traces.

Long Ye Tian took the box and checked it again.

The box was intact and showed no signs of damage. Even the lock on the box was still intact. It did not look like it had been broken by violence.

Xiao Wu even took his own key to try and see if the lock worked properly.

"There's only one key. I've always kept it close to my body."

"What if the thief who stole the pill was an expert at unlocking the door?" Long Ye Tian looked at the lock and discovered a few very minute scratches.

Xiao Wu himself didn't think that he would get such a precious medicinal pill. Although he did his best to be on guard, the box and lock were all temporarily found, so it couldn't be considered top tier, especially the lock, it wasn't too complicated.

Just as Long Ye Tian had said, if someone really wanted to steal it, it wouldn't be difficult for him to break the lock with an expert.

There were other valuable things in the room, but none of them were passive. Only the pills in the box were gone.

Xiao Wu carefully thought back to it and said, "When I came back, the box was still properly locked. If it wasn't for the fact that I found that the weight was wrong and opened it to take a closer look, perhaps I still wouldn't have discovered that the medicinal pellets had already been stolen."

To commit such a targeted crime, it was obvious that the thief must have come for the medicinal pill.

Long Ye Tian also thought of this: "Regarding this medicinal pellet, who else did you tell?"

"That day at the auction, I did not dare to say anything. I was afraid that others would take note of me, and when I said it in the hotel, it was only you and Hong Lian." She paused for a moment, then shook her head, "It should not be Hong Lian, she does not have that kind of scheming, and does not have that kind of guts. "Other than her, you are the only person I know here. Who else can I talk to?"

"Perhaps someone similar to you recognized the medicinal pill when you were at the auction." Long Ye Tian looked at Xiao Wu: "Since you can recognize the medicinal pill the moment you see it, then we can't rule out this possibility."

Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat. That medicinal pill was rare and precious, she had only read about it in a few books. It was already not easy for her to recognize it.

Long Ye Tian's words actually gave her a clue: "That man who has been competing with me."

Xiao Wu narrowed his eyes, "Number 059, at that time, that person seemed to be especially persistent towards Hong Lian. I originally thought that he was targeting Hong Lian, but now that I look at it …"

"We'll know after we check it out." Long Ye Tian did not waste time. In order to not lose track of the thief, he looked through all the surveillance records around the villa and discovered that the thief had cunningly avoided the surveillance.
