Chapter 172: Using Special Ability
Time flew by, and another week had passed. Luo Qiao thought about the two submissions she had sent and still hadn’t received any replies. Could it be that they were not interested? If she were to wait a few more days without a reply, she’d have to think of another strategy.
In the coming days, she would have to make another trip to the city and find someone to arrange the house according to her liking beforehand. That way, she wouldn’t be in a rush when school started.
That evening, after dinner, Lu Yichen and Stone left, and a sneaky figure avoided Lu Yi’s house, taking the path that led to Luo Qiao’s courtyard.
After scrutinizing the perimeter for a long time without finding an appropriate entry point and circling the house, they thought that it might be easier to get in from the men youth volunteers’ side. Unfortunately, while the ideal is beautiful, reality is skeletal.
No one lived on the men youth volunteers’ side, and parts of the outside wall had collapsed, but the courtyard where Luo Qiao lived had been completely refurbished. Gao Rusen had managed to climb over the wall from the men youth volunteers’ side with great difficulty.
However, he couldn’t climb over the wall between the male and female youth volunteers. Hoping to find another way through the courtyard, he failed to watch his step and stumbled over the firewood the youth volunteers had left in the corner of the wall.
Luo Qiao had been dealing with something in the kitchen. Just as she came out and was about to head back to her room to sleep, she heard the noise.
Acting as if she hadn’t heard anything, she turned around, entered her room, blew out the light, and lay on the kang bed, listening for any noises outside. After a while, she heard someone jump into the courtyard.
Peering through the crack in the door, she saw to her surprise that the intruder was Gao Shunyi’s youngest son, Gao Rusen. She sneered to herself, "You’ve brought this upon yourself; don’t blame me for not being courteous."
