Chapter 1743: He Is Actually Rather Dashing (13)
Qiao Yiyi opened the car door and stepped out. She cocked her head, waved into the rear view mirror and said, “Goodbye.”
Then she turned around and retraced the road they had driven on.
He watched as she boldly stood by the road, hailed a taxi, got into it and left.
He frowned gloomily. Swinging open the car door, he also stepped out of the vehicle.
He was quite sure that the police had kept tracked of the car he had driven to rescue Traceless.
It was possible that the whole city was on the lookout for the vehicle. To stay on the safe side, it was best to abandon the car.
For this reason, Lu Nanze had kicked Traceless out. He looked around and spotted a regular restaurant. He entered the restaurant and picked up his cell phone to make a call.
Soon after this, a car pulled up outside.
Lu Nanze got into the car and it drove away swiftly.
Now the car that had been used to rescue Traceless was right there, by the roadside.
–
Qiao Yiyi got into the taxi, immediately removing her mask to reveal her face underneath.
The taxi-driver asked, “Where to?”
Qiao Yiyi gave him an address. It was the place where she had just been rescued.
Upon arriving, she got out of the taxi and eventually found her sports car.
But she didn’t get into the car. Instead, she approached a lady on the sidewalk who was selling fruits and asked, “Aunty, what happened here?”
“Oooh, goodness gracious! Don’t you know? There was a shooting. Apparently, they were trying to catch a thief. That thief was impressive, disguised as a delivery man, and she delivered… a- a dead rat to that family there.”
Qiao Yiyi got interested and probed, “And what happened after that?”
“After that? The mistress of the household was so shocked she almost pissed her pants. Now she wants to sell the house and leave the country.”
Qiao Yiyi twitched her lips and thought, “Serves you right!”
Although her profession wasn’t legal, every job had its rules.
The client had broken the rules and had to be punished.
Now that she had made her point, the world of organized crime would know that Traceless was not one to fool with.
Qiao Yiyi stood to her feet at this point, ready to leave. The lady continued, “Oh, Miss, if you are interested, I can tell you about that professional thief.”
Qiao Yiyi: …
The lady held up an apple to Qiao Yiyi and said, “Here, it’s free. I’ll talk as you eat.”
After such a tough day, Qiao Yiyi was indeed thirsty. Hence she nodded and took a big bite of the apple. The lady said, “I’m telling you, they were two great partners in crime! The girl came and she did the delivery, while her husband was waiting outside. This couple—”
Before the woman could finish, Qiao Yiyi raised her hand when she heard the sentence “great partners in crime.”
“Pffft!” She threw up the apple and started to laugh uncontrollably.
The woman was puzzled and asked, “Miss, what are you laughing about? Let me tell you, I heard that this criminal couple gets along exceptionally well.”
Qiao Yiyi could not stop laughing. Partners in crime!
Lu Nanze had now become the male thief?
If this got to Lu Nanze’s ear, surely it would drive him crazy.
