Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot!

274 Telling the Truth

A huge pain swept over him, rendering him speechless.

The moment the silver needle was removed, he lay on the ground and retched, breathing heavily.

“Did you fucking poke my weak spot?”

The man roared angrily. He lay on the ground and clutched his chest, his expression was extremely ferocious.

“Aiya, I accidentally pricked the wrong spot. Where do you think the next needle will hit?”

Gu Man smiled. She should have looked tempting, but in the man’s eyes, she was a living demon.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk.”

After the man’s explanation, they roughly understood what had happened.

This matter was indeed quite magical. This man was indeed here to steal, but he was instructed by someone.

The appearance of the person who instructed him could not be seen clearly. They even used a voice changer. They only handed him an elevator card and said that the family living there was wealthier.

However, he did not know which house it was, so he could only go from house to house. In the midst of it, he was even chased away by the security guards, so he was so careful when he came.

As for why he surrendered so quickly, it was because the man had promised that if there were any special circumstances, they would arrange for someone to rescue him and he should just surrender.

“You actually trust a stranger you don’t even know?”

When Gu Man heard this plot that sounded like a story, she suspected that the man in front of her was lying to her, but from his eyes, it did not seem to be fake.

She looked up and met Xiang Yin’s eyes. There was nothing in Xiang Yin’s eyes, and she did not know if he believed her.

“What evidence do you have to prove that you’re telling the truth?”

“There’s no evidence, so believe it if you believe it. There’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe it. Just don’t stab me with a needle. I’ve already explained everything.”

The man lay on the ground in despair, his face filled with regret.

Why did he let his greed for money get the better of him? Didn’t he think about where this place was and how he could possibly steal from it?!

“Let him go.”

Xiang Yin, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke. His words successfully made the man’s eyes light up.

“Do you mean to let me go or let me turn myself in?”

There was a little anticipation in his tone. It could be seen that Gu Man’s needle just now had really frightened him.

“We’re letting you go. Don’t come again.”

Xiang Yin stood up and swiped the elevator card to open it. He stood beside the elevator with his arms crossed.

The man crawled into the elevator and waved at them with a smile.

After the elevator door closed, Gu Man walked towards the balcony. Xiang Yin pulled her.

“There’s no need to look. He’s just an abandoned pawn.”

The man was not lying to him, but he was only pushed out to test him.

It seemed like someone could not hold it in after he had not made a move for so long.

Gu Man knew that Xiang Yin’s identity was not simple. Seeing that he had no intention of pursuing the matter, she did not say anything else. “Then rest well. I’ll go downstairs first.”

“Thank you for tonight.”

Xiang Yin did not let go of Gu Man’s hand. Instead, he grabbed her even tighter. He stared straight at Gu Man, and their gazes kept mingling in the air.

Gu Man looked away and entered the elevator.

“It’s a small matter.”

The elevator slowly descended. After the door opened completely, Gu Man suddenly came back to her senses.

She pretended to be calm as she walked out of the elevator, but her heartbeat was especially obvious in the empty corridor.

Her palpitations had been getting worse recently. It seemed like she should stay up less.

When she returned to the room, the first thing he saw was a few jade stones on the table. The jade stones were still the same, but because they had been absorbed by Gu Man, they had lost some luster.

It was only then that she remembered that she should go to the ghost market to find another batch of jade.

Jade was a consumable to her, but fortunately, the consumed jade could still be sold for a relatively good price.

It was just that there was very little information about the Sarira. Otherwise, she would not have to absorb the bit of spiritual power from the jade.

Just as Gu Man was about to pack up and rest, there was a sudden knock on the door.

“Enter.”

The door opened and Huang Jun appeared.
