The Li family.
At this point in time, no one in the Li family knew that they were being closely monitored.
Every night before he went to bed, Senior Master Li had a little habit of looking at the one and only gemstone that he had obtained through illegal means many years ago.
The gemstone glowed red and was so beautiful that one couldn't take their eyes off it.
Qiao Yiyi leaned against the window and stared at the old man.
She saw the undisguised greed in his eyes as he stared at the gemstone.
This old man.
She cast her gaze down.
That gemstone was actually her employer's family heirloom. Her grandmother had left it for her mother, and her mother had left it for her. But many years ago, she had married the wrong person.
Because Senior Master Li liked the gemstone, her husband had taken it out and sold it behind her back.
The woman had gone to the Li family to buy the gemstone back, but Senior Master Li had demanded an exorbitant price of ten times the original price.
The woman had no choice but to go back.
But all these years, she had been thinking about the gemstone. After much hard work, she had finally gathered ten times the original price. But Senior Master Li had said that the gemstone was no longer with him and that he had sold it.
The woman knew that Senior Master Li was lying through his teeth, but she had no other choice. Hence, she had hired Traceless to steal it back for her.
That gemstone the size of a cat's eye was indeed rare, but it wasn't priceless. Senior Master Li had obviously seen that the woman's family was in dire straits, hence he was trying to bully her.
Traceless twitched her mouth. That woman was a coward, that's why she couldn't keep an eye on her own things.
She rolled her eyes at this thought.
Forget it, she wasn't here to uphold justice. To put it bluntly, the woman had paid, so she had to help her.
At this thought, she looked around and quickly found a target.
Senior Master Li was staring at the gemstone in his hand.
After all these years, he had grown to like this gemstone more and more. He would play with it every night before he could bear to put it down. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep.
Tonight, he was feeling especially sad. He kept staring at the gemstone, as though if he didn't look at it, he wouldn't be able to see it again.
As he stared at it, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed.
Senior Master Li stood up at once. Because of the sudden dimming, there was a blind spot in front of him.
He frowned and shouted, "What's going on?!"
At this moment, he felt his hand empty.
He immediately exclaimed, "Help, help, a thief has entered!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper downstairs seemed to have heard the commotion. He hurriedly rushed up, opened the door, took out his phone, and turned on the lights in the room.
All of this happened in just a few seconds!
However, when the light in the room turned on again, the gemstone in Old Mister Li's hand had disappeared!
The whole room was empty, and the windows were closed. How could the gemstone disappear just like that?!
Old Mister Li panicked. "Quick, close the villa door and call the police! We can't let this thief get out of tune! "
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed out.
The butler instructed the few people who followed him, "You guys, go to the front door, you go to the back door, you go to the surroundings."
Following the instructions, everyone ran in all directions!
Qiao Yiyi lowered her head and walked briskly out of the crowd.
