Chapter 879: Chapter 879: Dream 11
Du Lai’s expression suddenly changed.
At that ti, he was still young, around 20 years old, smart but not very cunning. Upon hearing Fu Miaoxue’s words, he imdiately asked, “What do you an? Do you know the identity of that person?”
“I know~” Fu Miaoxue smiled at him, “Didn’t I say, your accomplices have already confessed everything.
They are a group of antique thieves, specializing in targeting art galleries and mansions. A big boss was impressed by their skills and offered them a high price to steal my grandfather’s belongings. Basically, if this job was done, it would be enough for all of you to retire and live worry-free for the rest of your lives.
But, the locksmith in the team had an accident and was jailed. The employer was pushing hard, they couldn’t wait for the locksmith to be released, so they had to look for soone else. Then, they found you on a cruise ship, saw your talent, and decided to recruit you into the gang.”
Du Lai’s face grew uglier by the mont.
Fu Miaoxue continued, “You didn’t want to take the risk originally, but there was one person in the team, a friend from your childhood, you both stayed in an orphanage together, he was like an older brother to you? Oh, yes, the man who was shot in the head yesterday!”
“You!!!” Du Lai suddenly grabbed the iron bars of the cage, his eyes red with fury.
Fu Miaoxue’s spoon was knocked away, and the oatal spilled onto the expensive carpet, she just smiled indifferently, put down the utensils, got up, and walked to the table where she pressed the call bell—
“Do you need to be so angry? I heard that your ‘big brother,’ to make you resolve wisely, bribed soone on the ship to fra you for theft. You were arrested, and it was he who paid to bail you out. That indebted you to him and, having nowhere else to go, you agreed to join him in his sche.”
Du Lai froze, unable to believe it.
Indeed, soon after eting his childhood friend, he was thrown in jail, and later bailed out by this friend. Due to the fines, he lost his job on the cruise and having nowhere else to go, it was that very friend who took him in, and then…
And then, his childhood friend proposed this deal to him.
But Fu Miaoxue was telling him it was all a setup?
“Hehe…” Fu Miaoxue watched him, smiling, “Unexpected, isn’t it? The benefactor who you thought rescued you from dire straits was actually the enemy pushing you into the fire-pit. Without , you’d be dead already~”
Du Lai just stared blankly.
After a while, he let out a self-deprecating laugh, “Should I thank you?”
“No,” Fu Miaoxue laughed, “You should obey .”
Du Lai glanced at her, lowered his eyelids, and stopped speaking.
A servant from outside ca in and rolled away the dirty carpet.
Fu Miaoxue continued feeding Du Lai his breakfast. After finishing, she then went to the family tutor for lessons.
At 11 o’clock, after ending the morning lessons, she returned to her room, excitedly opened the golden cage, and said, “Co, let take you for a walk in the garden~”
Actually, Du Lai had just removed the bullet from himself and needed rest more, but he couldn’t refuse any of Fu Miaoxue’s arrangents.
Under strict protection of the bodyguards, Fu Miaoxue led her new pet to the garden. The long, fine tal chain, one end attached to Du Lai’s collar and the other end in Fu Miaoxue’s hand, they ford a strange sight as they walked, two to three ters apart, through the garden.
After a while, Fu Miaoxue stopped, tugged on the tal chain, and smilingly said, “Hey, perform so magic for ~”
Du Lai turned around, standing in front of a bush of roses and looking at her, “Sorry, Miss, I cannot.”
“Why?” Fu Miaoxue, with wide eyes, asked puzzledly, “Can’t you do magic like yesterday?”
“I cannot.” Du Lai said calmly, “Magic is all sleight of hand. Without enough preparation and props, I can’t conjure anything out of thin air, much like the flowers yesterday which I had prepared in advance and hidden under the chair. Your attention was fully on the hat, so you didn’t notice at all.”
