Chapter 2779: Justice of the Heroine
Tianhu Villa is very big.
There was an endless stream of guests coming to congratulate the owner of the manor on his birthday, and they were arranged to stay in various places.
Shi Li had never really liked being in a crowd, and she felt a little bored, so she quietly complained to Jingzhe.
Jingzhe stood in front of her and listened quietly, then picked up a pen and wrote a word on the paper - run.
Looking at the vigorous and powerful words on the paper, Shi Li couldn't help but chuckle.
"I can't run away. If I run away now, my mother will be so mad that she might even send people to hunt us down for thousands of miles. I just have to endure it for a few more days."
The courtyard where she lives looks ordinary, but it actually has a secret. It is the closest to the treasure house of Tianhu Villa where valuable items are collected.
But most people wouldn't come to this place, so it's quite quiet compared to other places in the villa.
At night, Shi Li was bored again, so she went to Jingzhe's room and read with him. Maybe it was a habit, now whether Jingzhe was by her side or she was by Jingzhe's side, it felt natural.
The two of them each held a book and read their own without disturbing each other. But Shi Li also felt that it was more interesting than staying in the room by herself.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing through leaves outside.
Shi Li gradually felt sleepy and thought about going back to sleep. She just stood up, but suddenly stopped, frowned and listened.
It seemed like someone was approaching here stealthily.
Her strange behavior also alarmed Jingzhe, who gave her a puzzled look.
Shi Li made a "hush" gesture with her lips and tiptoed out of the house.
The moonlight was bright, and Shi Li's excellent eyesight allowed him to immediately see the back of a man in black leaving, and he was heading towards the treasure house.
What would happen if you found a thief in your own home?
Shi Li chased after her without saying a word. When Jingzhe caught up with her, she could no longer be seen from behind.
In order to catch up with the black shadow in front, Shi Li used her Qinggong skills, but the person in front was quite skilled in martial arts, so she could only follow behind and could not catch up directly.
As expected, the man in black arrived at the entrance of the treasury and was about to attack the two disciples guarding the treasury.
Shi Li seized the opportunity to chase him and stabbed him with his sword.
The man in black was no pushover either. When he noticed someone behind him, he immediately turned around and dodged Shi Li's sword.
After turning around, the man in black seemed to recognize Shi Li. He didn't even fight with him. Instead, he jumped up and ran away.
Shi Li wanted to continue chasing, but the man in black suddenly threw a hidden weapon similar to a flash bomb and ran away when Shi Li subconsciously closed his eyes.
"Miss!"
The two disciples guarding the treasury looked at Shi Li who suddenly appeared in shock.
Shi Li frowned and looked in the direction where the man in black disappeared. In the end, he could only tell his two disciples to be more vigilant.
Then she immediately told the owner of the manor about this matter.
"Oh, come and steal things at this time."
The owner sneered, obviously a little angry. In her opinion, stealing things during her birthday celebration was a provocation to her.
No matter what was lost, if the news got out, it would only bring shame to Tianhu Villa.
"If we fail once, there might be a second time. We need to increase the number of people to watch over it." Shi Li added.
The owner of the manor nodded to her and said, "Don't worry, I won't let the thieves succeed."
When the birthday of the manor owner really arrived, many people from the nearby martial arts world came to congratulate him. Tianhu Villa was bustling with people coming and going.
Shi Li was also assigned by the owner to accompany a few newly arrived guests for a walk in the garden, and met Xu Xian on the way.
She didn't see Shi Li at first, but was talking to a disciple from Tianhu Villa.
"Who is responsible for setting off fireworks at night?"
When Shi Li approached, she happened to hear these words and felt a little strange. But before she could think too much, Xu Xian saw her and immediately greeted her with a smile.
"Miss Shi, what a coincidence."
"Yes, Mrs. Hong is also here for a walk?" Shi Li chatted with her for a while before parting.
When the banquet came, the guests tasted the delicious food and fine wine and drank to their heart's content with the owner.
After the banquet was over for more than thirty minutes, a dishevelled but very beautiful woman suddenly rushed in from outside the door. She seemed extremely weak, protecting her bulging belly with both hands. After rushing in, she fainted without even waiting to say a word.
Before Shi Li could react, someone nearby recognized the woman and said, "Is this Jiang Wan, the adopted daughter of Hero Lu?"
[It’s Jiang Wan!!!]
[Anchor, anchor! Jiang Wan is the hero's biological mother. The baby in her belly should be the hero. Please save her~]
[Is the anchor considered to be being chased by the protagonist and the plot? ]
Shi Li was listening to the barrage of comments and before she could figure out how to start talking, the owner of the manor had already taken the lead in dealing with it.
"Miss Jiang Wan doesn't look good. Someone help her to the guest room and ask a doctor to take a good look at her." The owner of the manor looked a little worried. She was acquainted with Jiang Wan's adoptive father, so she naturally couldn't just ignore Jiang Wan when she encountered such a woman.
