Chapter 48 What Light Blinded Her Eyes

She climbed up the wall, put the ladder down, and then climbed down the wall again. Her movements were smooth and flowing. When Li Yaoguang really stood in the backyard of the Duke of Korea's Mansion, she found that this huge mansion was so quiet that it was frightening. It seemed that not many people stayed behind. However, she did not dare to show up in a big way. Instead, she walked like a little mouse, choosing secluded paths where it was easy to hide.

She was not familiar with the Korean Mansion, but she knew one thing: the layouts of these powerful and wealthy homes were all similar, paying attention to Feng Shui and the Five Elements. The courtyards were divided into front and back, separated by a middle door. The men lived in the front, and the women lived in the backyard.

She had a grudge against Zhou Gaishi. As the only son of the Duke of Korea, the courtyard he lived in must be the best in the mansion except for the elders who were in charge of the family.

Just go east to the front yard to find the most magnificent and luxurious courtyard and you will definitely not go wrong.

Li Yaoguang did not delay any longer. He glanced at the afterglow of the setting sun to quickly determine the direction, abandoned the huge backyard where he was currently, and headed straight for the front yard.

By the time she found the courtyard where Zhou Gai Shi lived, it was already dark. The gate was locked. Moreover, she had not seen a single ghost on her way here, so Li Yaoguang felt more at ease. However, she still carefully found a corner away from people, opened the stairs and climbed in again.

After her feet touched the ground, the cat listened carefully in the corner of the wall. Making sure that there was no movement in the locked courtyard, she confidently took out her cell phone from the space, turned on the flashlight, and wandered around the huge courtyard.

I have to say, Zhou Gai Shi's yard is really nice! It is spacious, grand and luxurious. Because the gate to the yard is locked, the various doors in the house are not locked, which makes it convenient for me to perform next.

Li Yaoguang ran straight to the main house with his cell phone in hand, pushed the door open quietly and found that the furnishings in the house... Well, a quick glance at the furnishings in the house showed that a lot of them were missing. It seemed that the guy had packed them up and taken them away when he left. So, it seemed that the valuables must have been taken away as well. Fortunately, there were some things left in the house.

She was a loser in her previous life. She didn't know anything about antiques and had no appreciation level. Due to her background, she couldn't even tell the difference between jewelry and jade. To be honest, for someone like her, if someone gave her a glass bracelet and lied to her that it was glass jadeite, she probably wouldn't be able to tell it.

With such a background, he came to steal, well, what's the point of having a bicycle?
I don't think the only man in the mansion would have fake goods in his house? Would the servants dare to deceive? This is not the Jia family.

Thinking of this, Li Yaoguang stopped being picky. He looked around, whether it was on the antique shelf, on the ends of the kang by the window, or the study supplies, Li Yaoguang accepted everything. Not to mention the books, even the brushes were collected by him, and his movements were as fast as a swarm of locusts passing through.

Of course, she disliked the clothes and bedding that Zhou Gou left in the many closets and boxes, and did not take any of them.

After collecting all the things, Li Yaoguang found that what he collected seemed to be useless. There was no gold or silver. Since these ornaments were placed in the open, on the one hand, they were left over, and on the other hand, many people might know about them and have records of them. He couldn't sell them even if he got them. He had to keep them in his hands and couldn't cash them in. How could he make up for the expenses of his uncle's injury and recovery?

I was so angry! "Zhou Gai Shi, you poor bastard!"

Are we going to let this guy go so easily? No, since we're here, it would be cowardly to just leave like this.

Li Yaoguang couldn't help but look towards the front yard of Han Guogong.

Ahem, well, don’t accuse her of favoring women. After all, you are also a woman. Why should women make things difficult for other women?

With such a shocking original intention, Li Yaoguang knew that the female family members had money, and even if they left Beijing, she believed that it would be easier to extort money from the female family members' houses, but she believed that if a child is not well educated, it is the father's fault, so she went straight to the study room where the master of the mansion worked. "If the son is not good, it must be because the father did not teach him well!", so it's you, the father should pay the debt for the son!
Li Yaoguang was secretly thinking this way. When he saw that the gate of the courtyard he had recently chosen was locked, there were still servants patrolling from time to time, he became more and more certain that there was something valuable inside.

After making sure that a group of patrolmen had just passed by, Li Yaoguang secretly found a secluded place and climbed up with a ladder. He sat on the top of the wall, and when he put out the ladder again and was ready to go down, he found that the ladder was not stable at all and the ladder feet were slipping.

She was so anxious that she tried several angles but failed. Seeing the lights coming in the distance, she knew that the patrolmen were coming again. In a hurry, Li Yaoguang raised the ladder with both hands and stomped hard, using all her strength.

Li Yaoguang was delighted when he heard a click from below. He shook the ladder and found it was stable. He did not dare to delay and quickly climbed down the wall along the ladder.

As he was about to land, in order to save time, Li Yaoguang took one step down and at the same time eagerly reached out to retract the ladder. As a result, his foot stepped on something and slipped, and Li Yaoguang fell down with a thud.

In the dark night, the sound of rolling underfoot could be heard, followed by the sound of her falling to the ground with a loud thud. If there were anyone outside, they would definitely have heard it.

In a flash, Li Yaoguang, who was a thief for the first time in his life, was so nervous that he ignored the pain in his body and almost subconsciously put one hand on the ladder. In a flash, he and the ladder returned to the space at the same time.

Once inside, she turned on her phone and started the timer, and only then did she have time to check her own situation.

Her ankle was sprained, but luckily it wasn't serious. The most serious injury was the bruise on her knee. Li Yaoguang tried to rub it, and she grimaced in pain.

Thinking that he would do something big soon and couldn't lose the big picture for the sake of small gains, he endured the pain and limped to the bedroom. He opened the medicine box and unsealed the Yunnan Baiyao spray like a treasure. While spraying it, he kept shouting in pain that he had lost out.

After she had treated her injuries and rested for a while, and her legs were no longer so painful, she packed up her medicine box and tentatively left the space.

It was still quiet outside, and it seemed that no one had noticed anything unusual. Li Yaoguang slapped himself lightly on the forehead, thinking that he was too nervous. Turning around, he remembered what the hell had caused him to fall.

Out of curiosity, ahem, she would never admit that she was petty!
Li Yaoguang took out his mobile phone from the space again, turned on the flashlight, raised his hand and carefully pressed the light, shining it around, and sure enough, he found a square thing standing on the flat ground not far away.

Li Yaoguang: "So the culprit is a floor tile? Then just now..." She couldn't help but step on the ground and suddenly realized, "No wonder the ladder couldn't hold up just now, it turned out that the ground was too slippery. But this Hanguo Mansion is good, the study and the courtyard are paved with such neat floor tiles, there must be something!"

Muttering to himself, Li Yaoguang stopped paying attention to the things after seeing them clearly. He turned around and was about to leave, ready to continue his plundering business. Unexpectedly, the moment he turned around, the light from the mobile phone swept across his eyes, and Li Yaoguang clearly felt a flash in front of his eyes.

Feeling something was wrong, Li Yaoguang suddenly retracted his foot. Curious, he subconsciously walked towards the culprit, muttering silently, "What was that flash of light just now?"
