Panji smiled coldly, and the finger pressing the trigger slowly slid back. At the critical moment, the door inside suddenly opened.

"Pan Ji, wait!" A voice as loud as thunder came from inside. Pan Ji turned around and saw a young man in black standing opposite.

"Lang Xiaobai!" Yingzi shouted in surprise.

"Who? Lang Xiaobai...who are you?" Pan Ji turned his gun towards Lang Xiaobai, shouting like a wild beast.

"Didn't you hear it already? Lang Xiaobai, also called Bai Lang!"

"What!... Bai Lang!..." He suddenly turned pale with fright, but he immediately thought of the weapon in his hand. Just when he was about to pull the trigger, Lang Xiaobai's movements were faster than his.

Jumping over, he raised his right hand vigorously, and the pistol came out of his hand and fell to the ground. At the same time, with a "bang", the bullets came out smoothly, shattering the window glass with antiques.

"Disgusting! Where did you come in from?"

"I don't have to answer you at all. My husband, Xiaobai, is like a breeze, he can come in from anywhere. No matter whether you plug the door or lock it, you won't be able to block me."

"Damn it, it must be you, the bastard, who encouraged this stinky woman to ask for the jade pendant, hum! It's just wishful thinking!"

"If you don't hand over the jade pendant, then ask your wife to hand it over."

With that said, Lang Xiaobai rang the electric bell on the table, and then Pan Ji's wife ran downstairs. Yingzi saw it at a glance, and then shouted: "Ah, aren't you my maid Mu Mu?

"

Mu Mu stared at Yingzi in surprise, and then said with a pale face: "Miss! I really have no face to see you again. I am a vicious woman, a person who repays kindness with evil." She covered her face with her hands.

At this time, Lang Xiaobai walked up to her: "Yingzi wants to get back the gold jade pendant with precious stones. Please hand over the jade pendant."

"Okay, no problem...but I don't know where my husband hid the jade pendant."

"Really? No, maybe, because Pan Ji is a very superstitious person." Lang Xiaobai said.

"Yes, he was convinced that the gold and jade pendant could bring luck to people, so he hid the jade pendant."

"I know all this. In the past, you were a maid in this Yingzi's family. You learned that the golden jade pendant could bring good luck to people, so when you fell in love with Panji, you stole the jade pendant, and then escaped from the mansion and started a small life.

We make a living. Since both of you are very superstitious, you always thought that this piece of gold and jade pendant could bring you good luck. From then on, you two worked hard and your business went smoothly, and finally you opened such a big shop.

"In order to find the gold and jade pendant, I dispatched all my subordinates to investigate, and then I learned that it was you two who stole their family heirloom, and I also found out that you opened an antique shop here. So,

We have secretly entered your store several times to search for where the jade pendant is hidden, but found nothing. In the end, I had no choice but to use my trump card and let Yingzi herself talk about this matter.

"You stole that piece of gold and jade pendant because of superstition, so I don't blame you for your mistakes. However, you must take out that piece of gold and jade pendant immediately, because it was passed down to her by Yingzi's mother."

"But...but, I really don't know where the jade pendant is hidden."

The woman didn't sound like she was lying. Lang Xiaobai pretended to be deep in thought and glanced at the expression on Pan Ji's face calmly.

At this time, Panji always stared at the door with a worried look.

Seeing his expression, Lang Xiaobai immediately pried open the lock on the door, jumped outside, and looked around. After a while, he discovered the statue of Guan Gong standing on the signboard.

He raised his head and looked at it for a while, then smiled and nodded, ran to the back to carry a ladder, climbed up the ladder, took down the statue of Guan Gong, and said to Yingzi:

"Okay, we should go! These people are really annoying, but they didn't do anything unforgivable. They only stole the gold and jade pendant because of superstition. Let's spare them this time!" said,

He put the statue of Guan Gong under his arm, asked for a taxi, and rushed to his secret room with Yingzi.

"I really don't understand why you asked me to wear an old-style sky blue coat, a hat with feathers, and a whip made of rushes in my hand. I don't look like a clown. In the end, I still didn't

I can get that jade pendant back."

After resting in the room for a while, Yingzi continued: "However, it is really strange that the ugly man with a hateful face was so frightened that he lost consciousness after seeing the sky blue coat and rush whip. What happened?

thing?"

"The reason for this is because when they were stealing the gold and jade pendant, they saw your mother playing with you. She was wearing a sky blue top, a brown hat with feathers, and a pendant hanging around her neck.

A necklace made of seventy-five black beads, and what he held in his hand was a whip made of rushes. They were very superstitious, but they were not completely bad guys, so they often felt uneasy about their actions of stealing gold and jade pendants.

, so I feel regretful every time I think about how your mother was dressed and looked like that day."

"However, they are convinced that the gold and jade pendants can bring them good luck, so they are unwilling to return them to you and can only hide the jade pendants. When you go to see him pretending to be your mother,

He thought it was the reappearance of the mistress’s soul, so he was frightened out of his wits and lost consciousness.”

"In that case, who is that old magic witch-like woman in the Catholic Church? Why is she willing to lead the way for me?"

"That was specially arranged by me. She was the loyal nanny who took care of me when I was young. To this day, she is still willing to do anything for me. In fact, she put on that look."

Yingzi was very surprised.

"I understand all this, but after spending so much effort and manpower, I still couldn't find the gold jade pendant in the end. It's not worth it."

"The gold jade pendant has been found."

"Ah? Where is it?..." Yingzi asked, her eyes widening.

"In this place... inside this statue. At that time, I saw the guy's eyes looking out the door. When I went out, there was nothing suspicious. But, I suddenly saw the statue on the sign.

It seems like it’s about to fall down…”

"I also saw that statue, and I really felt it was very dangerous."

"Generally, the statues of gods are installed upright, but why is it tilted?... That's because it is made of porcelain. The material is very light and will tilt with a slight touch. Therefore, I guessed that there may be something hidden in the statue.

Something."

"The gold and jade pendant is an old work of art, and the gold base is also very heavy, not to mention that it is inlaid with carnelian, so it is also a bit heavy. This is just my estimate. Look, Yingzi..."

"Yeah!" Yingzi shouted. In the broken statue of Guan Gong, the light of gold and gems complemented each other.

"Pan Ji is not only very superstitious, but also very fond of money. Although he already owns such a big shop, he still longs for greater luck, so he puts the gold and jade pendant in the statue of the god, and then puts the statue of the god on the signboard.

superior."

"As of today, all eight adventure tasks have been completed." At this point, Lang Xiaobai stopped, and from the room next door: Boom! Boom! Boom!... There was a heavy sound of bells.

Yingzi listened carefully. "Eight o'clock sharp..." After hearing the last bell, she actually shouted.

"That's right, it's exactly eight o'clock...come here! Please come here and take a look!"

Lang Xiaobai stood up and walked to the cubicle. Yingzi followed closely behind and suddenly exclaimed "Wow!"

Hanging on the wall is exactly the strange clock that I saw in that ancient house three months ago. I don't know when Lang Xiaobai moved it here.
Chapter completed!
