“The token of the leader of He family’s secret faction.”
Zi Yi immediately increased her vigilance. “This is such an important item and yet, you gave it to me so casually. You must have left a card up your sleeve… But then again, the He family…”
Zi Yi inexplicably thought about Mr. Busybody when she muttered to herself, “Don’t tell me you’re Lu Jingye? Your physiques are rather similar.”
After she took the jade and placed it in her pocket, she raised her hand and removed his mask.
The face under the mask was also very handsome and he looked similar to Lu Jingye. However, it was not the type of handsomeness that appeared graceful and noble. Instead, it was a sharp type of handsomeness.
“Don’t tell me you’re Mr. Busybody’s brother…”
Zi Yi thought about it and ultimately dragged him to the living room’s sofa through the backyard.
After she moved him, she quickly examined his wounds.
His wound was not large, but the flesh and blood around it had turned black.
“This is… he’s poisoned?”
Zi Yi could not confirm it. The interstellar era’s science and technology were too advanced. Antidotes to the poison from ancient times had been developed for ages and it was impossible for them to be inflicted by these poisons.
If she had not read several medical books of the ancient Earth era when she had nothing better to do, she would not even know of the word, poison.
But…
“I have nothing here and it seems like you won’t be meeting your maker anytime soon. Just wait for your men to fetch you then.”
Following this, she went to the front yard to check how they had trespassed into her villa. She decided to set up more anti-theft equipment in these areas and went back to sleep.
The next morning, Zi Yi sensed someone entering her villa and went downstairs.
As expected, it was the masked man’s subordinates.
One of the extremely steadfast men walked over and said, “Miss, thanks for taking in my young master for the night.”
Zi Yi glanced at the man lying on the sofa. She discovered that his exposed wound had been treated and knew that they had already given him the antidote.
She then looked at the several men in her living room. “Since you’re here, take him away and dispose of the corpses in the yard outside.”
“Miss, please rest assured. We’ve already dealt with those bodies.”
Zi Yi nodded. She thought about the jade and took it out.
The expressions of the men immediately changed when they saw the jade in her hand.
Zi Yi looked at their expressions and smirked. “Your young master passed this to me. He said to ask you for anything I want.”
Lu Gang concealed his shock and asked in vigilance, “Miss, I wonder what do you want?”
Zi Yi said without a second thought, “I want money… Give me how much you think your young master is worth.”
The men were stunned.
They never imagined that the lady before them would be so direct.
Moreover…
How could they dare to decide how much the young master was worth?
Their young master was priceless!
This was simply making things difficult for them.
“Why? You don’t know how much your young master is worth?”
“This… this..” Lu Gang had no idea what to say.
Zi Yi kept the jade and spoke up under their stares. “Since you can’t decide, take him away. Let him e over when he wakes up and we’ll talk in person. I will naturally return the jade when I’m satisfied with the sum.”
“This won’t do!” Lu Gang accidentally revealed traces of killing intent but he retracted it immediately.
He thought that Zi Yi had not discovered it and said, “Miss, this jade cannot be kept with you. If someone finds out, it will only bring you a fatal disaster.”
