Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 25 The Rich Young Master's Little Pendant

Having learned from his son's experience, Meng Lin dared not be careless before deciding to deal with Xu Xiunian. He sent his trusted confidants to investigate for a whole day, and the information they obtained was almost the same as what Jiang Xinyan had said.

Xu Xiunian's life is really not like that of a scion of a wealthy family. He is basically a loner and doesn't contact his family often. He spends most of his time in the house doing research, which makes him seem extremely aloof.

The only thing that makes it impossible to forget his identity is probably the group of bodyguards who accompany him, but the incompetence of these bodyguards can be seen from previous incidents.

After observing for two more days, Meng Lin finally confirmed that Xu Xiunian was indeed not highly regarded and that his own men could handle the group of bodyguards around him. He then prepared to make his move.

The night was silent.

The soft cloth soles of the shoes made no sound as they stepped on the ground; everything seemed perfectly normal.

The soles of their shoes struck the wall without making a sound. In the darkness, near a corner of the wall, five or six dark figures lay prone. They were perfectly in sync, remaining silently on the wall as if they had become one with it.

In the distance, bodyguards dressed in black strolled over slowly, glanced at this direction from a distance, and seeing nothing unusual, slowly walked away.

After the bodyguards disappeared from sight, the shadowy figures waved to each other, and one of them moved towards the middle of them, where there was a window.

The shadowy figure moved for a while, making only extremely faint sounds. Once the sounds stopped, the shadowy figure had already entered the house through the window.

The other shadowy figures also gathered towards the window, entering the room one by one through the window.

In the darkness, no one noticed that Xu Xiunian, lying on the bed in the bedroom, had quietly opened his eyes and silently revealed a cold smile.

really……

Meng Lin was still afraid of the Xu family. Although he had confirmed repeatedly that Xu Xiunian was not highly regarded and that the Xu family was still allowing him to roam freely in his local territory under such a critical situation, even if he really wanted to deal with Xu Xiunian, he wouldn't dare to do it openly the first time.

This is a test, and also a risk.

To test whether there are any unknown forces around Xu Xiunian, I risked stealing Xu Xiunian's pendant. If I succeeded, I wouldn't need to go through the trouble of robbing him.

Unfortunately, Xu Xiunian had already anticipated all of this.

He carefully got up, gently moved the baby sleeping next to his pillow into his own bed, making sure the thieves couldn't see his baby later, before lying down again and closing his eyes as if he were really asleep.

Once all the shadowy figures had entered the room, everyone began to move. In the dark, one person went to the living room, study, kitchen, and other places, leaving no place untouched. The remaining three walked together to the bedroom door, exchanging hand gestures to confirm that the others were ready. Then, one of the shadowy figures cautiously tried to open the door, which was unlocked.

Slowly, they slid the wooden door open, making sure it didn't make a sound, before the three dark figures silently entered the bedroom.

After seeing the bedroom, the three shadowy figures silently exchanged hand gestures for a while. They had originally thought the bedroom would be the hardest place to search, but it turned out to be empty except for a large bed, making it the easiest place to search.

Finally, the two shadowy figures left, leaving only one person who silently approached the bed.

Xu Xiunian was sleeping soundly on the bed, completely unaware that several people had entered his home.

In the darkness, the shadowy figure smiled smugly, searching around Xu Xiunian by the faint moonlight.

Xu Xiunian was shirtless, revealing his muscleless upper body. Although he had been exercising for several days, he still hadn't developed any muscles. Perhaps because he was hot, he unconsciously kicked off the blanket slightly. The pendant he had been wearing around his neck while sleeping was now openly gleaming faintly in the moonlight, drawing attention at a glance.

"It came without any effort." The shadowy figure uttered these words silently, reached for his waist, and pulled out a small pair of scissors. With swift and agile movements, he cut the red string around the pendant. Seeing Xu Xiunian's complete lack of awareness, the shadowy figure became even more smug. He kissed the pendant and then silently disappeared again.

Having obtained what they wanted to steal, the group quickly began their escape. In just over ten seconds, the men in black disappeared back into the darkness through the window.

After they left, Xu Xiunian carefully moved Yu Liu out of the bed. Moonlight streamed in, and he could vaguely see that Yu Liu was holding something in her arms. This thing, which Yu Liu was using as a pillow, was none other than the pendant the thieves had just stolen!

Xu Xiunian gently touched Yu Liu's face with his little finger, smiled warmly, and then lay back down to sleep.

In Meng Lin's suburban villa, the lights were on. Meng Lin was leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed, but everyone knew he was not asleep.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. The subordinates standing beside her didn't dare to breathe. Jiang Xinyan knelt on the cold floor, her knees aching. She looked up at Meng Lin and carefully shifted her position without making a sound.

"Ding--"

The phone rang in the silent air, startling Jiang Xinyan, who was secretly shifting her body. She quickly lowered her head and cautiously glanced at Meng Lin out of the corner of her eye. Only when she saw that he hadn't noticed her did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Boss, we got it."

The person opposite him spoke with obvious delight.

Meng Lin narrowed his eyes, his thoughts churning, before finally settling into a calm.

"We weren't discovered, were we?"

"Don't worry, boss. Those bodyguards are just for show. They're used to being pampered and have no sense of vigilance at all. We did it perfectly, and no one will find out."

"That's good. Bring your things over, and be careful not to let anyone discover your presence."

After the call ended, everyone clearly noticed that the previously tense atmosphere had eased considerably.

The subordinates breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that things would get much better from here on out.

With his first attempt a success, Meng Lin finally smiled. Soon, the arrogant Xu family would release their son. Although that unfilial son was disappointing, he was still their own son, and it was not up to the Xu family to discipline him!
