Shortly after, a group of men with their faces painted alighted from the cars. They were all on high alert as they slowly approached the white-robed lady.
In the end, all of them stopped when they were one meter away from her.
One of the men threw a dagger at her.
The dagger pierced into her body, but there was no reaction from her.
Immediately after, another guy went closer and checked. “This person is dead.”
At that moment, the man sitting in the car got out. He looked at the woman lying on the ground and gave out orders in a heavy tone. “Search.”
One of the men started to search through the corpse.
After some time passed, he said, “The item we’re searching for is nowhere to be found. Her…” He paused for a moment before continuing, “Her chest is burst.”
The man narrowed his eyes and ordered. “Get rid of the body.”
He returned to the car, took out his laptop, and checked the nearby surveillance cameras. It appeared normal, to the extent that no one had come to this remote area during that period of time.
The man shut his eyes and said to the person sitting in the driver’s seat. “Withdraw.”
“We’re not going to chase the person who took the jade piece?”
“No need.”
The driver seemed to have guessed something. He stretched out his head and said to the men, “Withdraw.”
Everyone evacuated swiftly.
…
Zi Yi went back to the bar through the backdoor together with her group of robots.
The robots got off the goods truck and swiftly returned to their positions.
It was only 3 p.m in the afternoon. Zi Yi sat down in the resting area and supervised the robots renovating the bar. She would upgrade some robots from time to time.
When Lu Jingye’s call came, she was currently persuading a robot.
That robot wanted to be a Loli and Zi Yi disapproved of it. “What if someone sues me for using child labor?”
The appearance the robot had chosen appeared to be around thirteen or fourteen years of age.
“Master, you can adjust my age to be higher. If anyone sues, I’ll take my identification card. Don’t you think the contrast is very cute?”
“…”
She had never thought of preparing identification cards for them.
Just then, the robot reminded her. “Master, your phone is ringing.”
Zi Yi took out her phone, and the corner of her lips could not help but rise at the sight of the caller ID.
“Lu Jingye, you’re actually giving me a call? Could it be that you’ve returned from your business trip?”
The man responded with an affirmative.
Immediately after, he asked, “Where are you?”
Zi Yi happily replied, “The bar.”
“It’s about time for dinner.”
Lu Jingye suddenly changed the topic. Zi Yi was thrown off for a moment before she giggled. “Are you thinking of having dinner with me?”
Lu Jingye hummed in response.
Zi Yi was even happier. “Since it’s a date, we must go somewhere romantic. Hold on, let me check for a place that will be suitable.”
Lu Jingye on the other end of the call: “…”
Zi Yi had the Loli robot check and replied, “There’s a good western restaurant at Xiangjiang Road. Let’s go there.”
A few seconds later, Lu Jingye agreed.
Zi Yi happily hung up the phone, stood up, and headed towards the door. The robot, who was unwilling to give up, followed her. “Master, you have not agreed to my request.”
Zi Yi glanced at her and waved her hand in an extremely good mood. “Okay.”
The robot was elated. “Thank you, Master. Enjoy your date~”
Sanyue Street was not far from the western restaurant and it was only a ten minute drive away.
The interior of the western restaurant was particularly romantic. The whole hall was shrouded in dreamy lighting. There was even a piano in the middle of the hall and currently, someone was seriously performing.
With the romantic atmosphere coupled with soothing music, it was indeed a good place for a date.
