Chapter 526 I Don’t Look Like a Woman (1)
An Yiqing’s gentle words sent chills down the spines of the men in black, and their hearts began to waver. Their relationship with "that man" was merely one of employment, and if they were to die, that man might not even bother looking for them. As the girl had said, perhaps they would end up without a proper burial or even a complete corpse.
After much deliberation and An Yiqing’s subtle persuasion, the men in black gritted their teeth.
"If we tell the truth, will you really let us go?"
An Yiqing’s eyebrows lifted slightly as she nodded, "I swear, I will let you go!"
With An Yiqing’s promise, the men in black glanced at one another before slowly recounting the events, "We are brothers by blood, our parents died when we were young, and we were later taken in by an old man. From him, we learned some half-baked ancient martial arts and the craft of thievery. After the old man died, we went to Xuandu City on our own and made some name for ourselves. Some days ago, a man approached us, saying he wanted us to find something in the An Family. If we succeeded, he would give each of us ten million."
"What did he ask you to steal?"
"A bracelet, but he didn’t specify which. The man only said that if we found the item in the An Family, we were to steal it and hand it over to him."
The words of the men in black caused An Yiqing’s heart to jolt as she abruptly raised her head to look at a stunned An Zhihang and An Zhiyan.
How many more secrets of the An Family were there to be known? Why steal now and not earlier, precisely when the An Family had regained their original physical condition? What exactly was hidden here? Was it coincidence or intentional? And who was that man?
