Chapter 1687: Where is Traceless? (7)

The Li family residence.

At that moment, no one in the house knew that they were being closely monitored.

The senior master of the Li family had the habit to, before going to bed every night, lovingly gaze at a gemstone. This precious gem was something he had acquired illegally many years ago.

The stone had a red sheen that made it mesmerizing to look at.

Qiao Yiyi crouched outside the window observing the senior master carefully.

There was an unmistakable look of greed in his eyes as he stared at the gem stone.

This old man.

Qiao Yiyi lowered her eyes.

This precious stone was in fact something that had been passed down for generations by the true owner’s family. This meant that the owner’s grandmother had passed it on to her mother, and then her mother had passed it on to her. But years ago, the owner had gotten into a bad marriage.

Because the senior master of the Li family loved that gemstone, the owner’s husband had taken the gemstone without her knowing and had secretly sold it off.

She had tracked down the Li family and tried to buy the gemstone back from them. However, the senior master had asked for an exorbitant price that was ten times the original price.

The owner had had no choice but to leave empty handed.

All these years, she had never forgotten this gemstone. Through much effort, she had managed to save up the sum he had asked for. However, Senior Master Li now said that the gemstone was no longer with him since he had sold it.

The owner knew that the old man was lying, but she couldn’t do anything. So now, she had hired Traceless to steal this stone.

Although this stone, about the size of a cat’s eye, was a rare gem, it wasn’t as though it was priceless. It was just that Senior Master Li knew that the owner’s marriage had failed and thought she was an easy pushover.

Traceless twitched her lips, thinking that it had partly been the woman’s fault for being too weak and cowardly to keep her own belongings safe.

She rolled her eyes.

Nevermind. Why was she even judging the situation? Simply put, some woman had paid her some money to work for her.

At this thought, she looked around. Very soon after, the plan began.

Senior Master Li was now looking at the gemstone in his hand.

Over the years, he had grown to like it more and more. He had grown quite attached to it and had made it a point to hold it and look at it every night. Otherwise, he couldn’t sleep.

Tonight, he was feeling exceedingly sad and did not want to take his eyes off the object. It was as if that would be the last look.

As he was looking at the gemstone, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

Senior Master Li immediately stood up. Because it had gone dark suddenly, his vision did not adjust quickly enough and this created a blind zone before him immediately.

He frowned and shouted, “What’s happening?!”

Right at that moment, he felt an emptiness in his hand.

He quickly called out, “Someone come quickly! A thief has entered the house!”

The butler downstairs thought he heard some movement and quickly dashed upstairs. He threw the door open and lit the room with the lantern on his cell phone.

All of this had happened within a short few seconds.

But by the time the lights in the room came back on, the gemstone that had been in the senior master’s hand was gone.

The room was empty and the windows were shut. How could the gemstone have just disappeared like that?!

Senior Master Li panicked and said, “Hurry, hurry! Shut the villa gates and call the police! Don’t let the thief run away!”

At his order, everyone rushed out.

The butler ordered the few service staff who had followed him upstairs, “You, go to the main gate. You go to the back gate, and you inspect the surroundings.”

According to the given orders, the staff walked in various directions.

And among these people, Qiao Yiyi lowered her head and briskly walked out of the room.
