Bai Xiaoya screamed in a high pitch, raising the kitchen knife high.

But the female thief didn't care about Bai Xiaoya's threat and charged directly at her.

Bai Xiaoya screamed in fright and swung the knife with all her might, but the female thief dodged it with a sidestep, then grabbed Bai Xiaoya's right hand and twisted it forcefully.

With a painful "ah," the kitchen knife in Bai Xiaoya's hand fell to the ground with a clang.

"No way, no way, is there really a little girl who thinks she can scare me away with a kitchen knife? Little girl, I'm not interested in your looks or your life. Tell me, where is that thing hidden? I'll take it and report back, and you can sleep soundly. It's a win-win, don't you think?"

"Bah! That's something my father gave me. I'd rather die than give it to you!"

"Father? Ha! You're shameless enough. Even if we take a step back, haven't your parents taught you who to return found items to?"

Releasing her grip on Bai Xiaoya's hand, the female thief kneed Bai Xiaoya in the stomach!

Thud!!

The intense pain in her stomach caused Bai Xiaoya's pupils to contract, and with a "wah," she knelt on the ground in pain.

The jade pendant she wore around her neck slipped out.

Her face changed. Enduring the pain, Bai Xiaoya quickly grabbed the jade pendant and looked nervously at the female thief.

"I won't give it to you! I will never give it to you!"

The female thief looked at Bai Xiaoya like someone online posting a screenshot of an emoji with narrowed eyes.

"You're crazy! Who wants your broken jade pendant!"

Eh?

Bai Xiaoya was really stunned this time.

She asked suspiciously, "You don't want my jade pendant?"

"Please, I have professional ethics. I never touch anything that's not my target."

Finally, the female thief didn't forget to pull Bai Xiaoya up. "Quick, where's the parchment?"

Huh?

Parchment?

Bai Xiaoya was completely dumbfounded.

The term "professional ethics" reminded her of something. A few days ago, A-Ming said that a bounty hunter company was targeting her.

But she had already asked A-Ming to handle it. The fact that this female thief had appeared now meant that A-Ming hadn't cleaned up properly.

Thoughts flashed through her mind… Bai Xiaoya subconsciously glanced at the room behind her.

The female thief was sharp and immediately understood what she meant.

"It's behind this door, right? I knew it. I searched all the rooms except this one. No wonder I couldn't find it."

She took out something like a lodestone and pressed it against the lock.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Click!

The door lock opened.

What the hell!?

Have bounty hunter companies upgraded their thieves' lock-picking tools to this level?

As a privileged person, Bai Xiaoya had never used lock-picking services, so she didn't know how convenient lock-picking had become.

In the age of smart door locks, has security actually decreased?

But if Yuan-jie saw this scene, she would definitely take it for granted.

Because Yuan-jie, that scatterbrain, often forgot her keys, so she would hire a locksmith. This kind of lock-picking stone was standard equipment for locksmiths.

However, the low-end version of the lock-picking stone used by locksmiths took at least one or two hours to unlock a door.

But this thing the female thief was using could open a door in three seconds. The speed was like heaven and earth.

The door to Fang Yue's room opened, and the female thief immediately saw Fang Yue lying on the bed playing a game.

She couldn't help but curl her lips.

She wanted to play games too! But because of work, she had to wear her uniform and come here to work in the middle of the night.

"I wonder if the crab-walking steps taught by my master are useful. I heard from others that Ye Se Liming said the escort team will return to the village tomorrow. Should I go back with them, or should I develop well in Ink Village with my cheap master?"

The female thief, also known as Chen Xiaomiao, suppressed the thoughts in her heart. She was just about to start searching the room for the parchment when…

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Fang Yue, who was lying on the bed, actually had his eyes open?

That's not right! He was clearly closing his eyes when she entered the room…

Just as Chen Xiaomiao thought of this, her vision blurred.

Smack!!

An extremely terrifying force slammed directly onto her face!

In that instant of blurred vision, before the emotion of fear could even surface…

Boom!!

Chen Xiaomiao's body was directly pressed against the kitchen wall.

The tiles cracked, and blood flowed from the back of Chen Xiaomiao's head.

What… happened?

The back of her head was sending feedback of intense pain.

She was trembling all over, completely not understanding what had happened.

Just a second ago, she was still at the bedroom door.

The next second, she was pressed against the kitchen wall as if she had been teleported!

The whole process was so fast that her brain couldn't even react.

Even top bounty hunters don't have this kind of skill! Just what is this guy's background!

Chen Xiaomiao's head was dizzy from the pain, and at this moment, a cold voice said,

"Why are you looking for the parchment?"

The parchment was Fang Yue's greatest secret!

But he never expected that someone would break into his house to steal his parchment!

He had to find out who was behind this and know who his enemy was!

In fact, Fang Yue had already exited the game before the bedroom door was opened.

Because in the game, the words on the parchment had appeared in his mind.

[I am Fang Yue. While I was playing a game in my bedroom, a female thief broke into my house!]

[Her target is the great and noble parchment!]

[I must immediately quit the game, subdue the female thief, and ask about everything, to protect the parchment!]

He ignored the protection part.

But he had never expected that a female thief would come to steal the parchment.

So, when the bedroom door opened, Fang Yue immediately took action after confirming that the female thief was just an ordinary person.

Now, he had to find out why someone was targeting his parchment!

That's right, his!

No one could take the parchment from him!

[So, I'm that important?! I suggest feeding me more black stones!!]

Shut up!

Fang Yue's face darkened as he waited for the female thief to speak.

"B-Big brother! It's a misunderstanding! We're on the same side! Murder is illegal!"

Fang Yue: ???

Damn it! You broke into my house and you're telling me this?

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I have a thousand ways to torture you. You better cooperate and tell me what you know!"

Hearing Fang Yue's words, Chen Xiaomiao's face became ugly.

Bai Xiaoya, who was next to her, leaned in and said, "The phone signal is back. She wants to use her phone or other communication devices to contact someone!"

Chen Xiaomiao: !!!

Just what is the background of this mission target!

The woman is smart and resourceful, it's a pity she hasn't learned any fighting skills, so she was easily subdued.

But what the hell is up with this man? Is this strength even human?

"Hand over your phone. Remember, don't play any tricks, or you'll face the consequences."
