As he spoke, Zhang Man, who was still holding Liu Ergou, froze motionless.
Looking at the stiff Zhang Man, Liu Ergou continued, "Don't take everyone for a fool! Some things are better left unsaid, for both our sakes. So don't push your luck. Understand?"
Having heard him put it so plainly, Zhang Man naturally understood. She slowly released Liu Ergou and sat obediently to the side, looking like a chastened child.
"I… I understand…" Zhang Man whispered, then began searching the floor for her clothes.
Seeing that she had settled down, Liu Ergou said nothing more and started putting on his own clothes. As he pulled on his shirt, he instinctively touched the breast pocket, where he had kept the Imperial Green Jadeite he brought back from Ting Tian Pavilion.
However, when his hand reached the pocket, he felt nothing but emptiness.
My jadeite is missing!
Instantly, his gaze turned incredibly sharp.
What happened?
