Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 531
Chapter 531 Empty Pleasures
Ubitan’s other residence was on the outskirts of the city, a separate small house with a large courtyard, very secluded, with a narrow road in front of the door, lined with tall trees, their canopies intertwined to form a dense shade, with a street lamp only a long way away, the light blocked by the branches and leaves, and not able to illuminate much of the road, making a visit to this place late at night a somewhat eerie experience.
Gu Nianbin felt the woman in his arms shrink a bit and softly asked, “Is it afraid? Why don’t you come over at another time.”
Lu Xiaoxian shook her head and raised her face to smile at him, “With you around, I’m not afraid of anything.”
Gu Nianbin’s heart warmed and he lowered his head to kiss her, and Lan Kai Li saw it in the rearview mirror and shook his head and sighed, “If there really were ghosts in this place, I’m only afraid that you guys would be so scared that you’d burrow right back into the ground.”
“Drive your car nicely,” Gu Nianbin said with a smile, “We couples make out, open and honest, you can’t envy it!”
Lan Kaili skimmed his mouth and didn’t say anything, to be honest, he had never really believed in long-lasting love, but after witnessing that sincere emotion between Lu Xiaoxian and Gu Nianbin, he believed it. The world is not without the love of the sea, just that he has not met the destiny of the person just.
The car stopped under the tree, Lu Xiaoxian was the first to get out of the car, went up and pushed the door, the courtyard door was closed, not moving, it is not difficult for them, there is blue Keli, what kind of locks are not a problem for him.
Gu Nianbin used his cell phone to illuminate the door, and Lan Kaili took a small object of varying lengths with a hook and pounded it into the door lock.
Lu Xiaoxian looked on curiously and said, “Do you always carry these things when you go out?”
“That’s not true,” said Lanceli, “I brought it with me knowing it was coming, one key for two doors, there’s always one to use.”
Gu Nianbin splashed him with cold water, “Both are useful, aren’t you driving right now?”
“That doesn’t count, the gate inside does.” As he spoke, Keli Lan had already unlocked it, and the three of them walked in together.
The yard is very large, planted many trees, no light at all, the night wind comes, the leaves rustle, like countless hands in the darkness toward them. Lu Xiaoxian in fact not afraid of the dark, she was always alone at night in the hours on the grave of her mother, but now I do not know why, the heart of some numbness, probably in the side of the man on the habit of some delicate.
“Don’t be afraid,” Gu Nianbin comforted her, “There’s a Special Forces soldier, he’ll protect us.”
Lu Xiaoxian nodded and followed Lan Kaili’s footsteps as he slowly made his way up the steps, “I also brought my gun.”
Blue Keli heard it from the front and gave a porpoise laugh, “I didn’t see it, you can still shoot a gun!”
“I won’t, Nianbin wanted me to take it for defense.”
“Why don’t you just worship me, I’ll teach you some day.” Lan Kaili said as he pulled out the lock picking object from his pocket and was about to insert it into the lock hole.
Lu Xiaoxian said, “Let me do it, I have the key.”
Lanceli let out a laugh, “Almost forgot the key, but I guess it was for nothing. Still have to me …”
Before the words were finished, that door unexpectedly opened, and Lu Xiaoxian actually used the key to unlock the door!
The three of them glanced at each other, all alert, not daring to speak again, Lu Xiaoxian gave the small pistol in her bag to Gu Nianbin, and hugged the man’s arm tightly.
Blue Kelley played the lead, stood by the door first touch the switch to turn on the lights, looking at the bright and clear house, they are very surprised, the house is clean and tidy, the floor is shiny, all the things are neatly arranged, the smell is also very normal, look not like a long time no one lives like.
Are Kaiser Blue and Ubidan hiding here?
The three men walked in slowly, examined the house carefully, and again felt that it did not look like it was inhabited.
The dining room was clean and tidy, but the sofa didn’t even have the marks of having been sat on it, and the kitchen was even more empty, the storage cupboards were empty, as was the fridge. Upstairs was another story, the floor was dusty and all the furniture was covered with a white mantle, the checkroom was empty and there was nothing to wear. It also smelled musty.
What’s going on here? Upstairs and downstairs are so different, it’s like two worlds.
Lu Xiaoxian was about to sit down on the sofa when Gu Nianbin and Lan Kaili said in unison, “Don’t sit.”
“It’s quite clean,” Lu Xiaoxian wondered, “Why can’t I sit down.”
Ranceli explained, “Obviously, people come over to clean the first floor all the time, and you’re going to be noticed if you sit out the marks.”
Lu Xiaoxian then came to a realization and suddenly remembered what they had just done upstairs and said, “Our footprints were left upstairs, they will definitely be discovered, what should we do?”
“It’s okay,” said Lanceli, “No one usually goes up there, or else it wouldn’t have accumulated such thick dust, I’ll go up and take care of it later, you can’t tell unless you look closely.”
Gu Nianbin said, “Lan Xiuhe having a key to Ubitan’s house is strange in itself, plus this house is weird, it must be hiding some secret.”
Lanceli nodded, “I think so too, I’ll tell you what, I’ll go upstairs and check again, you guys are downstairs, be careful never to move anything, and if you accidentally move it, be sure to put it back as is.”
“I know, we’ll be very careful.” Lu Xiaoxian was a little nervous and a little excited, as if she would definitely find clues about this place, as long as she found Lan Kaize, she would be able to bring Gu Nianbin home.
Unfortunately, she was a little too happy too early, the house is too clean, all the cabinet drawers are empty, not even a scrap of paper can not be found, the bathroom she also looked carefully, not only no towels and toothbrushes, even a hair did not have one, the large vanity only put a piece of ordinary soap.
When Lu Xiaoxian came out of the bathroom, Gu Nianbin was already standing in the hall, and he rechecked the kitchen as well as the terrace, also finding nothing.
Seeing Lu Xiaoxian’s frustrated face, the man comforted her, “Don’t worry, there’s a professional upstairs, maybe he can find a little clue.”
Lu Xiaoxian was silent, it would have to do, but when Lan Kaili came down from upstairs empty-handed, she knew her hopes were dashed.
The three people stood in silence for a while, originally all excited, thinking that things had finally turned around, not realizing that in the end it was still empty.
“Let’s go,” Gu Nianbin said, “It’s not time to despair yet, I’ll get someone to watch this place, as long as someone comes, we still have hope.”
“Big brother was right,” Ranceli sighed, “This place was carefully cleaned out and all personal belongings were taken away, all we can do now is wait for that person to show up.”
Anyway, things were finally moving along a little bit, now that they knew that Kaiser Blue had disappeared with Ubidan, that there was something odd about the house, and that they’d found a little bit of shredded paper in the house downtown, which was pretty good.
The bit of shredded paper scraps were put together by Blue Keli after spending an all-nighter, with some random words written on it, which were basically useless, but it was the line at the bottom that caught Blue Keli’s attention: the wedding process.
Whose wedding process? Who’s getting married?
Other than that, there was nothing specific on it, and Lanceli figured it would be on another piece of paper, just another piece of paper that they had no way of finding.
A few days in a row, Lu Xiaoxian followed Gu Nianbin morning and evening, in and out of pairs, inseparable, just like a pair of affectionate young couple look.
Gu Nianbin changed the coldness of the past, became gentle, after eating often with Lu Xiaoxian sitting in the hall with Lan Zufeng chatting, a large family sitting together talking and laughing, but also lively.
Of course not everyone has a smiling face, as little as Lin Peizhi blue Xiuhe, and blue Qin’er face is not much expression, and not much to say, in the way of blue Zufeng’s face, they accompanied by a cup of tea, barely cope with a little on the way up the stairs.
Although she still didn’t treat Lu Xiaoxian well, she didn’t make any more overtures towards her, she just ignored them and completely treated her as transparent. In Lu Xiaoxian’s opinion, this was considered peaceful coexistence.
Therefore, she slowly stopped running after Gu Nianbin, the man is outside doing serious things, she followed every day what is the point? It would cause people to criticize, no matter what she should at least stand up to Lan Zufeng’s trust and not cause trouble for the man.
Gu Nianbin initially disagreed, but seeing that the woman insisted on staying at home, coupled with the fact that she had a pistol to defend herself, and that there were Ah Lie and Sister Gui at home to look after her, and that Lan Zufeng and Lan Kai Li were often at home, he reluctantly agreed.
A white horse flies, time flies, as if in the blink of an eye, the days pass by.
Gu Nianbin arranged in the Ubidan house near the squatting people finally came to the news, someone into the house, is an unfamiliar middle-aged woman, from the stolen photos can be seen from the local people, can not see the age, maybe thirty, maybe forty, simple clothing, feet wearing straw shoes, it seems to be a poor family. She went in to clean, about an hour like out, did not take the car, along the path into the nearby village.
After spending a little money, she learned from the woman’s mouth that she was a villager from the neighborhood who had been hired to clean the house, and based on her description, Gu Nianbin felt that the person who had hired her should be Lin Peizhi. But other than that, there wasn’t much more valuable information.
Things have come to this point, as if there is not much progress, but Gu Nianbin felt that since Lan Xiuhe has a key and hired someone to do the cleaning, there should be something else going in and out of that house, so he asked people to continue to squat.
But after a few days of no news, something happened to Lu Xiaoxian.
She lived on the third floor and got along well with Lan Zufeng, and was even more loved by Mrs. Gui, so she often helped her do what she could.
But this morning when she wiped the porcelain, accidentally dropped a Yuan blue and white porcelain on the ground, fell into three petals, more some broken into powder, is completely broken waste.
Lu Xiaoxian is a little overwhelmed, she knows that this thing is very valuable, but also want to blue Zufeng treat people generously, she has always loved, at most, blame a few words, let Gu Nianbin compensation for a respect to him is.
Mrs. Gui heard the noise and came in to take a look, her face went white and she was busy shouting, “Aiya, Xiao Xian, you’re in big trouble!”
