The man's voice was originally extremely cold, like ice under the moon, faintly exuding a chill, but when he spoke, his tone was very loose, with a sense of laxity everywhere, but not cold.
When Lin Wanwan heard this, she immediately choked up and immediately retorted: "Young Master, didn't you just say that I, like you, are here for money, so how can I take human life? Since you didn't kill the person, Why does the young master appear here again?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her face darkened, and her eyes that turned to him suddenly shot out with a sharp light as sharp as a blade, "Who are you?"
"Is the girl questioning me?"
The man raised his eyes lightly, looked her up and down with an almost scrutinizing gaze, and then met her gaze with a half-smile. There was a hint of joking in his eyes, as if to say, what qualifications does she have? to question him.
Lin Wanwan looked at him, her eyebrows trembled, and they fell into silence.
She knew that there was a huge disparity in strength between the two of them, and she had not figured out the details of his identity yet. If she really angered him at this time, if the other party became angry, he might actually kill her here.
Lin Wanwan gritted her teeth secretly, her eyes flashed, and her sharpness suddenly dropped, but she was thinking in her heart about how to deal with this person in order to get the silk fabric back from his hand.
Seeing that her expression softened, the man didn't care much about her. He still said in a casual and casual tone: "Girl, you should know that since we all wear night clothes and meet in the middle of the night, this identity automatically It’s so secretive, so how can it be reasonable to tell it honestly? But—”
He changed the subject, and there seemed to be a hint of smile in his voice: "The girl was really careless. She even forgot to wear a mask, which allowed me to see her true face. Thinking about it this way, it was indeed the girl who suffered first. I I am not an unreasonable person. Since the girl asked the question sincerely, I will mercifully answer the question for the girl."
Hearing his words, Lin Wanwan twitched her lips and clenched her fists unconsciously. What this man said really... made people want to punch him.
The man glanced lightly at Lin Wanwan's secretly clenched hands, then glanced at Eunuch Lu's body and continued: "This man was seriously injured before the girl arrived. I looked at that The injuries were beyond repair, so I planned to search this room after his death to see if there was anything valuable, but I didn’t expect there to be a secret room here.”
Lin Wanwan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and then she nodded as if she believed what he said, "That's it."
After saying that, she raised her hand and rubbed her chin, as if thinking about something carefully, and said with a hint of doubt: "However, the little lady still has something unclear, and she would like to ask the young master for advice."
Seeing her gradually changing her attitude, a smile flashed in the man's eyes. He did not care about her previous unfriendly words, but said generously: "Girl, please speak."
"I heard that the mansions of dignitaries outside the palace are also places where gold and jade are accumulated. If the young master is just seeking wealth, why would he take the risk and sneak into the palace to steal treasures?"
Lin Wanwan's purpose in saying this was, firstly, to find out some truth from his mouth, and secondly, to confuse the audience. After all, letting this person see his true appearance is a hidden danger. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, the best way at this time is to convince him that he is from the palace. Anyway, there are so many women in the palace, even if he wants to check , and I don’t know where to start.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, this man completely missed the point. He just waved his hand indifferently and said: "I have visited all those officials' mansions. They are really boring. How can they compare with the size and treasures of this palace?" How many? Besides, how can life be static? You have to pursue some challenges. Stealing treasures in this palace is much more interesting than in those official mansions."
Lin Wanwan was immediately choked by his words. This person just ignored the implications of her words. Is she still a thief who pursues challenges? Judging from his smug tone, it was clear that he was showing off to her, how could he have the slightest hint of a guilty conscience?
Lin Wanwan was silent for a moment before suppressing the urge to curse. Even though she had already slandered this person, she still maintained a pleasant expression on her face: "But there are many wealthy places in this palace. You Why did you choose to steal here?”
The man was stunned when he heard the words, and then looked at her with a strange look, as if he was confirming whether she was normal. He looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak: "This... girl, this question is really my order. I don’t know how to answer. So, why did the girl choose this place?"
Seeing his caring look, Lin Wanwan's expression suddenly froze, and she was unable to maintain the calm and sunny appearance. In all her life, except for Su Jin, she had never been defeated by anyone else. If she hadn't clearly realized that she couldn't beat him and had no choice but to restrain herself, she would have been at war with him long ago.
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but glare at him. Even though her heart was already filled with anger, she could only grit her teeth and said, "Of course it's because there are neither guards nor night guards here, so it's safer than the inner palace. But your martial arts skills Far better than me, why not go?”
The man stared at her, a pair of light-colored eyes like cold stars in the night fog, bright and charming, a mist-like smile gradually appeared in his eyes, "So the girl knows, has the girl ever heard of what she said?" Don’t do it to others if you don’t want it?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly understand something, his smile gradually faded, and he immediately stuffed the silk in his hand into his lapel, stared at Lin Wanwan with some vigilance, and said, "Could it be that the girl wants me to go inside?" The palace is in danger and you can take the treasure here by yourself?"
Lin Wanwan's face suddenly turned cold when she saw his attitude. Suddenly, a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion arose spontaneously. It was like the torture of a scholar meeting a soldier and having no reason to explain.
She didn't know whether this person was intentional or unintentional, but he could always take his words astray, making it impossible for her to extract useful clues from him. She was afraid that if she continued to spend time with him, she would only suffer in vain. Moreover, what he just said was true and false, and it was really difficult for her to distinguish between them. Instead of wasting her time talking to him in a roundabout way, it would be better to go back to the topic directly.
Lin Wanwan took a deep breath and her face improved a little. Then she immediately changed the subject and asked, "Why did you attack me just now?"
The man "tsk", put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth for two steps, then raised his eyes slightly, and replied proudly: "You took my things, of course I want to take them back."
He looked matter-of-fact, and his tone was even more confident, as if he was the owner of this secret room. Lin Wanwan almost laughed out of anger at him.
"Your thing?" Lin Wanwan's starry eyes narrowed slightly, her red lips curved into a smile that was not a smile, and her expression contained a hint of ridicule, "This is clearly the father-in-law's, but when did it become the young master's? "
