Tang Xiaowan walked carefully on the solid wood steps, thinking about her grandma's words in her heart. As she passed the study, she suddenly heard something moving in the master bedroom next door.
Strange, it seemed like the sound of opening a window and the sound of jumping and landing!
Grandma jumped out of the window... and sneaked out to play?
No, someone came in.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaowan immediately held her breath and carefully pressed her ears against the solid wood door, trying to eavesdrop. The mystery just now became more and more serious.
Unfortunately, the sound insulation effect of the door was too good, and I could only vaguely hear Tang Mei's voice, which seemed to be related to the hot search list.
Tang Xiaowan began to murmur in her heart.
How about pretending that you can't sleep and just barging in to chat with grandma?
No, it might slip away.
Who is he? Couldn't he be the masked book thief? He's back again and wants to make a deal with grandma about the secret photography?
Huh, maybe it's that Jiangbei, the footprints are almost the same size.
The reason why Tang Xiaowan made such a guess was entirely based on the pictures of the footprints during the night attack on Meiyuan. Li Zishen had already sent them to her before the auction started.
Although she didn't see the book thief's face last night, she had carefully compared the pictures on her phone with the half of the footprints left in the garden.
There happened to be one of similar size.
After pausing for a few seconds, Tang Xiaowan suddenly raised the corners of her mouth slightly and left quietly.
At this moment, in Tang Mei's bedroom.
A woman, with her back exposed, was lying flat on the chaise longue. Sitting next to her was Tang Mei, who was holding a silver needle and looking very serious.
"Madam, I will check the Internet, so you don't have to worry."
"Don't worry about it, someone will take care of it."
"Oh, okay, after the vacation is over, will the lady go to Jincheng...or return to Meiyuan?"
"That girl Tangtang, who knows, let nature take its course, maybe she will go to Chicheng." Tang Mei sighed and replied softly.
"Madam, when can I..."
"Don't move, the injection is about to be administered."
Tang Mei's eyes were fixed on that white back, and she was thinking a lot.
This is already the third attempt.
"Don't be nervous, just keep breathing calmly." Then, with two gentle presses of her fingers, Tang Mei skillfully inserted the silver needle into the woman's back and head, and each stroke was precise.
Immediately, the woman's body began to tremble slightly, but this was just the beginning. There would be greater pain waiting for her to endure.
"If it hurts, just scream, it's okay."
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all." The woman replied with a frown.
Although Tang Mei could not see this small movement, she knew that it was a pain like a head exploding, which ordinary people could not bear.
What's more, the woman was injured.
"Hey, I've wronged you."
"No grievance, madam, please don't say that. This is what I should do. As long as the lady can do well, it doesn't matter what you ask me to do."
Tang Mei nodded and said, "It's about to begin."
The woman bit her lip: "Okay."
Tang Mei's eyes were deep. After taking a look at the time on the clock, she began to turn the silver needles gently, starting with the one closest to her waist, moving up in order, and finally her head.
In the process of turning the silver needle, Tang Mei's fingers sometimes tightened and sometimes relaxed. Every movement was so natural and smooth. This acupuncture technique is the result of her years of painstaking practice and can minimize pain.
As time passed by, the atmosphere in the bedroom became more and more tense.
No matter how uncomfortable she felt during the process, the woman never made a sound, but many fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.
…
Five minutes later, the roof.
Tang Xiaowan was hiding in a corner. It was a very hidden location that most people would never notice.
Sometimes she stood up and listened carefully to the movement of the window, sometimes she sat down and frowned in thought.
The conversation in the bedroom could not be heard clearly, which aroused Tang Xiaowan's strong curiosity and made her even more convinced that her grandma was indeed hiding something.
Humph, I want to see who it is?
But...why haven't you come out yet? It's been almost 20 minutes. What are you talking about? "
No, should we go down and take a look?
The more Tang Xiaowan thought about it, the more something was wrong. She was worried that grandma might be in danger, even though she knew that grandma also had some skills.
If there is an emergency, there will be a loud noise and she can hear it.
But what if the other party is a top expert? A direct attack to win, leaving no one with a chance to react.
"Grandma! No, I have to go down."
So, Tang Xiaowan quickly climbed down from the roof and tiptoed back to the third floor through the window.
This level is still quiet.
When she was about to open her grandma's bedroom door and want to go in to see what was going on, she met a pair of deep eyes.
"You're not sleeping so late. What's wrong?"
With the faint light coming from the window, Tang Xiaowan turned her head and saw that there was nothing unusual inside.
But there was clearly someone there just now.
He must have heard my footsteps and hid, fearing that I would bump into him.
"Grandma, are you...still asleep?"
"Go back to bed. It's so late. Why are you wandering around? Don't you have to get up early tomorrow?"
Tang Xiaowan looked at her grandma, her doubts deepening. She hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to endure it for the time being and not to push through.
"Oh, okay, bye grandma."
After returning to the second floor, Tang Xiaowan lay on the bed, still unable to calm down.
She was thinking about what happened tonight, feeling extremely confused and helpless, and wondering whether she should discuss it with Leng Lingxiao. After all, besides grandma, he was the most trustworthy person.
Just at this moment, there was a sudden sound of slight footsteps upstairs.
Tang Xiaowan immediately sat up warily.
She quietly opened the window and looked outside through the small gap with a frown.
Soon, a woman in black appeared. She slid along the wall to the small garden furtively, her movements were light and agile.
Tang Xiaowan clenched her fists and her heartbeat accelerated.
Hey, why is it a woman?
Please, please, be sure to leave footprints, preferably completely on the ground.
Don’t leave it half-full!
Just as Tang Xiaowan was thinking about it, a black car came not far away, and a very burly man wearing large-framed sunglasses got out.
The two were very close, as if they were talking or exchanging something.
Strangely, this person is not Jiangbei.
How could grandma have contact with these people? It couldn't be that secret organization, right?
But grandma said everything was fine!
The more Tang Xiaowan watched, the more confused she became. She didn't know who these two people were and what they would do next, but she had to find out the truth no matter what.
So, she quickly picked up the mobile phone on the sofa and clicked several pictures.
"Humph, now it's good, it's quite clear!"
