Chapter 342 Home Robbed
No sooner had she finished speaking than Old Madam Duan, with a serious expression, stepped forward and slapped Duan Yu hard on the back of the head.
"See, see, the aftereffects of drinking are showing."
I told you not to drink it, I told you not to drink it, it was for your own good. Look, you're even hallucinating.
Duan Yu's mind became clearer as his grandmother beat him, and he tried hard to recall the scene.
He touched his neck, which felt sore and swollen, clearly a lingering effect of being hit by that thief.
Wanting to argue, the butler also stepped forward to agree, "Young Master, how could a thief possibly enter our Duan family?"
I can guarantee that our security system is absolutely top-notch, even in the entire capital city.
"I think everyone should go back and rest first. I'll have the kitchen prepare some hangover soup for the young master to help him sober up."
The implication was that he had drunk too much during that period of depression.
In a moment of panic, Duan Yu pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and handed it to his grandmother. "Come here, Grandma, call my classmate Lao Gao. You can ask him how much I drank."
But it's just a bottle of beer. I'm not so bad at drinking beer that I'd get drunk from just one bottle.
As for the smell on my body, that was picked up from the late-night food stalls.
Ask, ask! Go ahead and ask.
Old Madam Duan glanced at her grandson.
She raised this grandson single-handedly; he's a bit playful and carefree at times.
But she knew his character and personality very well.
Duan Yu is upright, polite, respectful to his elders, and loyal; he would never make such a boast as to say that thieves broke into his house.
With a quick glance, she said, "Alright, enough of this noise late at night."
If you're not sleeping, then your classmate Lao Gao isn't sleeping either, so don't disturb him.
Go back to your room and change and get clean first.
Everyone dispersed.
Duan Yu felt that his task was not yet completed, and looking at the old lady Duan who had already turned away, he called out, "Grandma, Grandma..."
Old Madam Duan turned around and gave Duan Yu a glare that was full of warning. Duan Yu immediately shut up and went back to his room.
At this moment, everyone in the Duan family fell silent and went back to their rooms to sleep.
The lights in the Duan family's old house went out with a "click," and the house returned to its usual tranquility.
The "drunk" incident just now seemed to have never happened.
Under the banyan tree dozens of meters away from the house, Han Xinyue tugged at her hat, turned and left with a blank expression.
As she left, her hand clutched her pocket.
Inside were the personal clothes from Duan Yao's childhood, which he had taken from his room.
Just as Han Xinyue was leaving the southern part of the city, Duan Yu, who had just finished showering, changing into clean clothes, and brushing his teeth, and Qin Shuyao, who had been awake but couldn't fall back asleep, both received a message from Old Madam Duan.
She sent a mass message to a group chat containing only the three of them: "You two come to my room, immediately!"
Remember, be discreet and don't let a fourth person know!
Even Aunt Wu won't do!
Duan Yu exclaimed upon seeing this, "Wow, this is so exciting!"
Qin Shuyao: "So late at night, are you up to something? Hehe."
The two excited individuals indeed acted furtively, walking up the stairs one after the other to Madam Duan's room.
Lock the door!
Soon after, late at night, on the large bed in Madam Duan's room, which was more than two meters wide.
Old Madam Duan lay in the middle, with Duan Yu and Qin Shuyao lying on her left and right, respectively.
The three of them were each wrapped in a blanket.
Lying on the left, Duan Yu's eyes gleamed with curiosity in the darkness. "Grandma, what brings you here in the middle of the night?"
Even in the darkness, you could see Qin Shuyao grinning with her white teeth showing. "I've never done anything like this in the middle of the night before. It's so strangely enjoyable."
Unlike the two of them, Old Madam Duan couldn't laugh at all; instead, she seemed quite somber.
She began, "Ah Yu, you said you encountered a thief when you went through the back door."
After taking a shower, Duan Yu became even more certain that he had not seen wrong. "Yes, it must be."
After all, he was a member of the Duan family. Duan Yu was no longer as excited as before, because he knew that this estimate could not be publicized.
The more you publicize it, the more likely it is to cause unrest.
He even lowered his voice, "It's absolutely true, I was face to face with that thief when I entered through the back door."
Qin Shuyao: "Then we'll have to check the surveillance footage."
Duan Yu said, "Who would use connections to get in, unless they're a member of the Duan family?"
And you know the security camera at the back door; it's only used to watch the food delivery.
I checked the footage while I was showering, but there was nothing there. The spot where the person was standing was a blind spot for the surveillance camera.
I was the only one howling there.
Qin Shuyao felt a chill run down her spine as she thought about it, and she grabbed her grandmother's hand, "So, this person knows everything about our Duan family? Is that right?"
Duan Yu remained silent.
The old lady Duan, who had been deep in thought, spoke up at this moment, "Did you see what the thief looked like?"
Duan Yu: "I didn't see it clearly."
Old Madam Duan kicked him, saying, "What use are you?"
Duan Yu felt wronged, saying, "The thief was wrapped up so tightly that only his eyes were visible; how could I possibly see him clearly?"
"Eyes?" Old Madam Duan seized on the key point. "Male or female? What's their build? Fat or thin? How tall?"
A series of questions were thrown at him, and Duan Yu closed his eyes tightly.
The figure, though dark, whose outline I could still remember, appeared in my mind: "A woman, very thin, about 1.7 meters tall."
The exposed eyes had very curled false eyelashes.
I remember it very clearly, yes! It was false eyelashes.
"False eyelashes! This, this..." Old Madam Duan was even more surprised than before.
How could she not be startled? She remembered it very clearly.
She thought the woman who looked like Song Beiyou had familiar eyes, like someone else, so she went to that woman's company to look for her.
After finding the person, she looked her over and remembered a lot of things, such as her height, skin color, moles on her face, and teeth.
And here's the key point: her eyelashes!
Those eyelashes looked real and beautiful, but she was certain they were implants.
It was both rolled up and dense.
Could it be her who came?
Thinking of this, Madam Duan was afraid that she had made a wrong judgment, so she tightened her grip on Qin Shuyao's hand and asked, "Yao, do you still remember the woman from Gao Kingdom that I took you to see as a translator last time?"
Do you remember her eyelashes?
Qin Shuyao's eyes lit up in the darkness, and she nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, I was even tempted to buy it back then."
"If the timing hadn't been so bad, I would have asked her for the link."
Madam Duan gasped sharply, her heart pounding. "Oh no, how did things turn out like this?"
