Chapter 1731 - He Is Actually Rather Dashing (1)

Chapter 1731: He Is Actually Rather Dashing (1) If she stayed, wouldn’t that mean letting the cat out of the bag at the Lu family’s main villa?
At the thought of this, Qiao Yiyi gave her usual answer,
It’s ok, I have somewhere to stay at.

Then she walked to the door.
Lu Nanze: …
He would have tried to talk her around, but he knew Traceless well enough. She wasn’t one to go back on her word, so if she said she wasn’t staying, she wouldn’t.
But suddenly recalling something as Traceless neared the doorway, he asked,
Why are you here, by the way?

With a casual wave of her hand, she said,
To retrieve my merchandise.

Since she had the gemstone with her now, it didn’t matter if she told him the truth.
But as soon as she had said this, the man turned pale. He rushed towards her, but she quickly dashed into the courtyard.
He panicked wildly.
Darn!
Why had he forgotten to tell the girl?
The new owner of the item could no longer be trusted.
When the person had found out that Lu Nanze had been trying to track down Traceless, this person had betrayed the girl. And this new owner must have done likewise, too, when Liang Liang had been trying to track down Traceless.
Otherwise, how could both Liang Liang and himself have ended up at the Li family residence at the same time?
But obviously, Traceless was none the wiser.
Besides, the day set to hand in the stolen merchandise… Well, that wasn’t going to happen at all now.
Because the buyer had already given up on the gemstone.
Hence, all of this was only a ploy by the police.
He wondered about the roles Bai Anan and Liang Liang had played in this scheme.
The man became increasingly anxious as he thought about it.
However, he realized that apart from being anxious, there was little else he could do.
Because he had no way of contacting Traceless.
It had always been Traceless who had come looking for him.
Or it would be more appropriate to say that it had always been Traceless who had come to clean her wound.
And now, what was he going to do?!
Lu Nanze panicked. He got into his car and sped off, driving around and trying to see if he could find her to tell her this.
But unfortunately, there was no sign of the girl.
Not surprising.
Traceless was an expert at hiding herself. The moment she was gone, there would be no sign of her left behind.
The man frowned. After a moment, he gave up. He picked up his cell phone and called the butler. He instructed the man,
I want you to keep a close watch over the Li family and also the buyer that Traceless was working for. I want to be the first to know of anything happening there.


Roger,
said the butler.
After this call, Lu Nanze picked up the cell phone again, as another thought occurred to him. He returned the call to the person who had called him earlier on.
The moment the call connected, someone said in a sarcastic tone,
Everyone says that you can’t be moved by beautiful women, but obviously, you’re having some romantic experiences. Who was the girl I overheard you having a shower with over the phone just then? It certainly didn’t sound like Madam Lu!

Liang Liang sounded tipsy. Obviously, he had had a few drinks.
Lu Nanze cast his gaze down and laughed icily.
You should just mind your own business and look after yourself first! Where are you?

Liang Liang sighed and said,
I’m a nobody now, and I’m depressed. And you’re still not here to keep me company!

Lu Nanze kept silent.
Liang Liang continued laughing like a fool. He sounded like he had downed another glass of something, as Lu Nanze heard the sound of gulping.
Immediately, Liang Liang added,
Lu Nanze, tell me honestly, is Traceless really dead?

When Lu Nanze heard this, his eyes narrowed. The image of Traceless leaving after getting the gemstone came back to him. He looked down and said,
That’s right.
