Chapter 377: A Thief Has Entered
After Chu Sihan left Matriarch Chu’s courtyard, he walked straight to the Chu Mansion’s entrance.
Outside the gate, Chu Yun had already prepared a carriage and was waiting.
When he saw him coming out, he hurried forward. “Lord!”
“To the Lu Mansion.”
Chu Sihan said softly and boarded the carriage.
Although the two mansions were not far apart, it would take fifteen minutes to walk there.
In addition, it was still snowing, so it was inconvenient for him to walk.
When Chu Yun sent Chu Sihan to the Lu Mansion, the lights were already switched off.
“Go back first.”
Chu Sihan alighted from the carriage and spoke faintly.
“What time should I come over to fetch you?”
“No need. I’ll go back myself.”
When Chu Yun heard that, he revealed an understanding smile and rode away.
Chu Sihan glanced at the Lu Mansion’s entrance and raised his eyebrows.
Although he was engaged to the little girl, wouldn’t it be inappropriate to enter through the main door in the middle of the night?
He pondered for a moment and made a decision.
Hence, he leaped onto the high wall of the Lu Mansion and jumped in.
The mansion was not big. The Chu Mansion was several times bigger.
The men from the Lu Family basically lived in the outer courtyard. Only Lu Sheng, Lu Xin, and Lu Jiang lived in the inner courtyard.
Originally, when Lu Zhou was around, he lived in the inner courtyard. However, he was not here now, so only Lu Sheng and the two children were left.
He Lai had just come out from the toilet and was about to return to his room when the top of his head suddenly darkened. However, things instantly returned to normal.
He looked up suspiciously, but saw nothing.
“Am I seeing things?”
He frowned slightly and mumbled to himself. Then, he shook his head and continued walking towards the house.
Lu Ran walked over with a heavy expression.
“Ah Ran, why haven’t you returned to your room to rest?”
He Lai went forward to inquire.
“Uncle, I suspect that a thief has entered our mansion.”
“Huh?” He Lai was shocked. “What do you mean?”
Lu Ran said in a low voice, “I was reading in my room just now and felt a little bored, so I came out to stand for a while. In the end, I saw a black shadow flash past.”
He followed Mu Yan and Yu Yang and often heard them talk about the pugilistic world.
He had also heard that some thieves in the pugilistic world had amazing qinggong, but they usually only wanted money.
If he wanted to live, he only needed to let them take the items away.
“Huh?” He Lai’s heart skipped a beat. “So, I’m not seeing things. There was really a black shadow flying past!”
Lu Ran was surprised. “You noticed it too?”
“When I came out of the toilet earlier, there seemed to be a black shadow flashing past my head. I thought I was seeing things, so I didn’t pay much attention.”
He scanned his surroundings and asked Lu Ran, “What should we do? Should we tell Xiao Sheng?”
Lu Ran stared in the direction where the black figure left and said thoughtfully, “If he really goes to Ah Sheng, he’ll be unlucky.”
He had seen how tough his sister was. A small thief should not be able to do anything to her.
He Lai was stunned. “Why do you say that?”
“You’ll know when you have the chance.”
Lu Ran pondered for a moment before saying softly, “Why don’t we go over and take a look?”
“Let’s go!”
As this concerned his niece’s safety, he had to take a look no matter how scared he was.
As the two of them walked, a black figure suddenly walked out from the corner, scaring the two of them so much that they hurriedly laid on the snow.
“Why are you lying there?”
He Qin’s doubtful voice was heard.
When the duo heard the sound, they heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly climbed up from the snow.
