Chapter 17: Vanished into Thin Air

  At this time, the Azure Coast Villa District...

  A beauty emerging from a bath is always the most captivating scenery, but when Chu Qingyun wrapped her body in a towel and reached out to touch the diamond hairpin on the tray, she touched nothing, and the hairpin had vanished into thin air?

  Chu Qingyun's heart skipped a beat, she clearly remembered that the hairpin was placed here when she took a bath, had someone come in? Thinking of this, Chu Qingyun's heart became anxious.

  "Cocoa, cocoa?" Chu Qingyun's voice was a little urgent.

  "Oh, sister, I'm going to sleep, I've already taken off my clothes."

  "No, come here for a moment, Keke."

  Cocoa came running over in her little underwear after a while, what's wrong sister?

  "Did you take my diamond hairpin?"

  "Isn't it? The hair clip you bet with that rascal? I've been in the house all along, didn't move at all."

  "Has anyone come tonight?"

  "How is it possible? The doors and windows were all locked, and our community has such good security, there's never been a problem before."

  "Have you ever come in while I was taking a bath?"

  "Sister, I told you I've been in the house all along."

  "But... my hairpin is gone." Chu Qingyun recalled the faint sound she heard while bathing, and was certain that someone had entered and silently taken her hairpin. This person was probably Dark Sword.

  Luckily... Luckily he didn't have any ill intentions, luckily I pulled down the shower curtain, otherwise at that time myself...

  Chu Qingyun felt a bit apprehensive thinking about this, she had thought that the Dark Sword was just an impulsive young man who liked to daydream, but she didn't expect him to have such skills. She had foolishly made a bet with him, it was like sending sheep into the tiger's mouth, fortunately, the Dark Sword's character was still okay, otherwise, if he wanted to do something to her and her sister, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  "Sister, don't be so suspicious, did you forget where you put it?"

  "It's really gone." Chu Qingyun couldn't believe it, the community had layers of security guards, the house was locked inside and out, and there were three living people, yet things could be stolen from under their noses without them noticing until they were lost. Was this still human?

  "What? How is this possible? That stinky guy, is he really that strong? Huh? Wait a minute, sis, weren't you taking a bath just now?"

  Chu Keke asked this, Chu Qingyun's face suddenly turned bright red.

  "What? Did you get..."

  Chu Qingyun shot her younger sister a glance, "Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I've already pulled the shower curtain."

  Chu Qingyun looked at Chu Keke's suspicious gaze, feeling both ashamed and angry, "That bastard is indeed as despicable as you said, too rude, how could he take advantage of someone while they're taking a bath..."

  Chu Qingyun said up to here but was out of breath, thinking that she couldn't blame An Jian either. When she took a bath, it was indeed the only opportunity for him to make his move. Normally, she wore her hair clip on her head, and even a thief wouldn't be able to steal from her. If he were polite, he would have lost the bet and become hers instead.

  Others can face the spring light at close range and restrain their impulses, which is already rare. Thinking of this, Chu Qingyun's anger in her heart also dissipated a bit. It was herself who step by step forced others to become like this, who could be blamed?

  But Chu Qingyun still had a bit of doubt, she was only in the bathroom for twenty minutes, and throughout the whole night, there were only these twenty minutes when he had the opportunity to make his move, so how did he seize this moment?

  This is no coincidence!

  What method did he use to pull up the curtains, and it's impossible for him to monitor himself through the window, even if he has a thousand-mile eye, what can be seen through the window is very limited. Moreover, the people living in Azure Coast are not ordinary people, and the developer has installed signal shielding devices in the villas to protect the interests of these sensitive individuals, which can eliminate the possibility of being monitored by pinhole cameras and eavesdropping devices. How did he do it?

  Even if he grasped the opportunity, how could he sneak in unnoticed? You see, the villa's door lock wasn't something that ordinary people could open, it required two keys and a six-digit password.

  Although there is a saying that there is no lock that cannot be opened, good locks and inferior locks have a big difference, that is the difference in opening time. For this kind of lock on her villa, even the most top-notch locksmith would need at least half an hour to open it. Even if you are skilled at unlocking, you will definitely make some noise when fiddling with the door lock. Although Yun's aunt was asleep, people of her age generally have light sleep and cannot help but hear the sound.

  Before, Chu Qingyun had only seen such a mysterious and stealthy technique on TV, she didn't believe it existed in reality, but now she had no choice but to believe. She felt that the opponent was like a ghostly shadow, invisible and untouchable, and couldn't be defended against.

  After checking the windows, it was found that one window on the first floor had been opened, which was obviously the escape route of the other party. The window and door are different, and it is impossible to open from the outside.

  Chu Qingyun logged into "Shenmo" to ask something, but Zhou Jian was not online. She had no choice but to log off and change her clothes before rushing to the security office to request the surveillance footage around her villa that night.

  On the C?te d'Azur, owners have this right, but can only view cameras around their own villa.

  However, what made Chu Qingyun helpless was that the four cameras around her villa had been filming all night, but not a single ghostly figure was captured. If the camera was damaged, it would be fine, but the recorded video was intact and flawless, not even one second was missing.

  Chu Qingyun was completely convinced, she even suspected that the Dark Sword was just air, and couldn't be seen or touched.

  Although she lost the bet, Chu Qingyun saw a glimmer of hope. This Dark Sword might just be able to help her get through this difficult situation.

  ……

  When I woke up, it was already broad daylight.

  Zhou Jian rubbed his messy hair, suddenly feeling sticky on his legs. He lifted the quilt and took a look, and indeed...

  Zhou Jian couldn't help but have a romantic spring dream after seeing the scene last night, and thus the snow-white hotel bed sheets suffered miserably.

  These two beauties... have caused quite some trouble.

  Zhou Jian wiped his hands with toilet paper and didn't care, anyway the hotel's sheets are washed every time, poor little tadpoles couldn't find their mother but had to swim into the washing machine...

  Today is Sunday, Zhou Jian took over Xiao Yin's helmet, logged in online, the mailbox has been flashing again, after opening it, it was Qingyun Xianzi's message.

  "Mr. Dark Sword, are you available today? I've been waiting for you at Su Feng Pavilion."

  Zhou Jian saw the message and his heart was somewhat uneasy, after all, he had stolen things last night at that time and place...

  Seeing Light Cloud Fairy online, he replied: "Sorry to keep you waiting, I'll be right there." He had already made up his mind and would rather die than admit what he saw.

  Ten minutes later, Zhou Jian arrived at Su Feng Zhai. There are three advantages to eating in a virtual restaurant: first, no matter how many dishes you order, they will be served within five minutes; second, even if you wait for a long time, the dishes will not get cold; third, the dishes are absolutely delicious and can be adjusted according to personal taste preferences.

  Qingyun Xianzi had been waiting for half an hour, originally she wanted to come alone, but Xiao Bai Tu Nai Tang insisted on following her. Just yesterday, under Xiao Bai Tu's questioning, Qingyun Xianzi told her sister everything that had happened in the past year, after all, she would have to know sooner or later, and continuing to hide it was meaningless.
