Quick Wear: Why did the male protagonist fall in love with the vicious villain again?

Chapter 406: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (7)

The guards who were still sleepy were awakened.

How dare someone break into Jinghong Villa? How brave!

Doesn’t he know that their owner will soon be the next leader of the martial arts world?

The steward glanced at the guards and suddenly frowned: "Where is Maoyou?"

Someone said, "Boss, Maoyou has been selected as a secret guard and will move out today."

The manager was stunned for a moment, then he remembered this.

I was so busy today that I actually forgot about this matter.

But to be honest, Maoyou is really lucky. He won the lady's favor as soon as he arrived.

"The young master told us the direction the thieves fled in, so we can't miss that direction even if it's your barracks. Search all your rooms now!"

"Yes!"

The guards followed orders.

After checking his own room, a guard went to the empty room next door and suddenly found a dark figure standing inside.

"…Who are you? Turn around!"

Jing Hengzhou lit the oil lamp and slowly turned around.

The guard was stunned: "It's you?"

"Maoyou, why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to live somewhere else?"

Jing Hengzhou pointed at the messy clothes on the bed and said, "I haven't packed my luggage yet. I'll go tomorrow. I was sleeping so soundly that I heard some noise outside. I was about to come out to take a look when you suddenly came in."

The guard nodded, not doubting anything. "I see. Then search your own room. The butler said there are thieves who have invaded. They may be hiding here. Check it out quickly."

"it is good."

The guard hurried out.

"..."

Jing Hengzhou glanced at the corner of black clothes hidden under the messy clothes.

That person only had one eye to see the road, so how could he see the direction he was escaping?

Day two.

Bai Chao walked out of the room with a depressed look on his face.

The attendants dared not even breathe.

Last night, the guards searched the entire night but could not find any trace of the thief.

Bai Chao also did not sleep all night.

The villa has been guarding the gate tightly since last night, and an additional 100 people have been deployed to all possible exits.

But the thief seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace.

At this time, a man came to report.

"Young Master, the Master and his wife are back."

"..."

Bai Chao's expression changed slightly, but then he regained his composure: "Lead the way."

"Yes."

Bai Chao came to the main hall.

Before stepping into the main hall, Bai Chao adjusted the position of his blindfold.

He had replaced the eye patch on his face, but it was not as comfortable as the previous one.

As soon as Bai Chao entered the door, he was greeted with a cold rebuke.

"waste."

"..."

Bai Chao immediately knelt on the ground and bowed.

"The owner of the village."

Jiang Yide sat upright on the rosewood main seat, his brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character.

"It's just a small thief, and you haven't caught him yet."

Bai Chao raised his head and tried to explain: "Master, I don't know where that villain's master came from, but his skills are profound, not inferior to mine, so..."

A teacup was thrown at him: "How dare you make excuses!"

Bai Chao's collar was splashed with water.

"..."

Jiang Yide said coldly: "Let me ask you, what was the purpose of that little thief breaking into the villa at night?"

"I...I don't know..."

Bai Chao frowned, "That thief seemed to be targeting me... Could he be my enemy? But he didn't make any sound, and his moves were concealed, so I couldn't tell who he was..."

Jiang Yide stared at Bai Chao like a hawk: "Didn't the villa lose anything?"

"No, the villa has been checked from top to bottom."

Bai Chao paused: "But... Songtaoju didn't send anyone to check."

Songtaoju is the residence of the owner of the manor, and it is surrounded by secret guards, like an iron barrel.

Bai Chao was not qualified to enter and search, so he only needed to ask the secret guards to find out if there was any situation.

Jiang Yide's expression paused: "..."

"Master, I sealed off the villa as soon as I found the thief. Now people can only enter but not leave. The thief must still be inside the villa!"

A trace of anger rose on Bai Chao's face: "I will go check the villa again. Even if I have to dig up the ground, I will catch the thief and make amends!"

Jiang Yide's eyes flickered, and then he said sternly: "You can't find the person, which means he has already escaped. You are still making a fuss in the villa. Do you want to make the villa a mess?"

Bai Chao was stunned: "But..."

Jiang Yide's attitude was unyielding: "The sword test competition will be held in half a month, and the villa will not tolerate your tossing around like this!"

"I heard that you held a big banquet at the villa right after we left. Do you really think you are in charge of the villa?"

Bai Chao's hand tightened: "Lang Yu doesn't dare."

Jiang Yide asked again: "And did your sister fall into the water the day before yesterday?"

"……Yes."

"How did Chuchu fall into the water? Was it because you were having fun? Chuchu has no secret guards, and you are the only one who can protect her. How can you be a brother?!"

Bai Chao had no way to defend himself, so he could only bow his head and admit his fault: "It was my fault for not supervising well and being careless. I failed to protect Chu Chu."

Jiang Yide said in a deep voice: "Did your sister get frightened when the thief broke into the villa at night?"

"ChuChu is fine."

A soft female voice came in.

Bai Chao turned sideways and bowed his head, "Madam."

The owner's wife Liu Yun walked into the room.

Jiang Yide got down from his seat: "Yun'er, how is Chuchu? I'm going to go see her now."

Liu Yun patted his hands and said, "Chu Chu is fine. We came back too early. Chu Chu is still sleeping. Don't disturb her sweet dreams."

"Okay, Yun'er is right."

Liu Yun walked over and helped Bai Chao up: "Xiao Yu, you have worked hard these past two days."

Bai Chao lowered his eyebrows and said: "Madam, you are too kind."

"What's he working so hard for?"

Jiang Yide frowned and said, "We were only away for two days, and either Chuchu fell into the water or someone attacked the villa at night. I just asked you to take charge of the villa, but problems kept happening. How can I hand over the villa to you in the future?!"

Bai Chao knelt down again: "It's Langyu's fault. Langyu is willing to be punished."

"Okay, husband, Xiaoyu is still young, just scold her and that's it. Xiaoyu will not make the same mistake again next time, right, Xiaoyu?"

Bai Chao followed suit: "Yes."

"..." Jiang Yide's eyebrows relaxed, "Then go to the ancestral hall and copy the "Disciples' Rules" for three days as a punishment."

"Thank you, Master, and thank you, Madam."

Because of Liu Yun's plea, Bai Chao did not receive severe punishment.

He went to the ancestral hall, and before he started copying, Liu Yun came over with a food box.

"This is a snack I bought outside. I thought it tasted good, so I bought it back for you two to try."

"Thank you, Madam."

Liu Yun placed the food box on the table: "Xiao Yu, you are always so polite. Have you forgotten that we are a family?"

Bai Chao paused and changed his address: "Thank you, stepmother."

Liu Yun nodded and said slowly, "Xiao Yu, your adoptive father is just a little strict with you. You will have important responsibilities in the future. It's all for your own good. Xiao Yu, you have to understand your adoptive father's painstaking efforts."

"Lang Yu understands."

Liu Yun looked at the eye patch on Bai Chao's face: "Xiao Yu, did you change your eye patch?"

"Yes, the eyepatch is broken..."

"Why are you so careless? None of the other eye masks you've used are as useful as the special one you made earlier. Only that one doesn't fall off easily."

Liu Yun frowned slightly and said, "I'll ask the housekeeper to find the embroiderer from last time and make you another one."

Bai Chao adjusted his eye mask uncomfortably, his movements adding a hint of childishness: "Thank you, stepmother."

Liu Yun smiled and shook her head: "You kid, why should we thank you as a family?"

She looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late. Chuchu should be awake. I'll go check on her. Xiaoyu, if you have any instructions here, go call the servants."

"Yes, mother-in-law, take care."

Bai Chao sent Liu Yun to the door.

Liu Yun was about to leave when she seemed to remember something: "Oh, Xiaoyu, please pay more attention to your eye mask now. Don't let it fall off and don't scare Chuchu again."

Bai Chao's expression froze for a moment: "Yes..."

Bai Chao wears an eye mask when eating and sleeping.

The eyepatch hid his decayed eye so well that no one could see his right eye.

After sending Liu Yun away, Bai Chao turned around and walked to the table.

He opened the food box, which contained a plate of delicate pastries sprinkled with chopped almonds.

Bai Chao put the lid back on the food box.

He can't eat it.

Whenever Bai Chao eats almonds, his throat will swell and ache and he will have difficulty breathing.

Maybe Mrs. Jiang forgot.

……

Bai Chao copied the "Standards for Disciples" for three consecutive days and only left the ancestral hall after he had finished copying.

"Brother, where have you been these three days? I can't see you anywhere."

Three days ago, when Jiang Yingchu woke up, she saw her parents who were worried, so she hugged the second eldest and cried again, which scared the owner and his wife. They invited a doctor to take Jiang Yingchu's pulse. After getting a good answer, they were relieved that their daughter was fine.

During these three days, Jiang Yingchu had been staying close to her parents, cherishing the time of reunion. Later, she found that Bai Chao was not there. She didn't know where Bai Chao had gone, so she wanted to come and look for him.

As soon as she arrived at Bai Chao's yard, she saw Bai Chao who had just returned from outside and thought he had gone out.

Bai Chao said in a gentle voice: "Brother, you didn't go out to play, you had something important to do."

"Oh." Jiang Yingchu nodded, "Brother, when will the secret guards I chose arrive?"

Bai Chao paused and said, "Wait a few days. I need to see how their training is going before I feel comfortable letting them look after you."

"Good~"

Training Course.

Bai Chao has not come to see those secret guards in the past few days.

Because once they are thrown into the training ground, they will be able to practice according to the requirements, and Bai Chao only needs to see results.

But three days are enough for them to learn the rules.

Bai Chao sat on a sandalwood chair, leaning lazily on the armrest, checking the training results of these people on the training ground.

The six secret guards originally came from the Shadow Tower, so they all appeared to be well-trained. They could understand instructions, read hand gestures, and knew what to look at and what not to look at.

Bai Chao was quite satisfied with the performance of these six secret guards.

Except for that half.
