C310 It Is Difficult to Guard Against Thieves

Just like that, a few days passed. At first, Old Lady Lin was just annoying due to a variety of things, but gradually, Lin Muxue and the rest realized that something was wrong.

"Eh? Weird, why do I seem to be missing a few necklaces? "

Today, Lin Muxue finally had some free time. Women always loved to be pretty, so she sat in front of the dressing table and looked around. However, when she checked, she found that she was missing a few pieces of jewelry.

"Could it be that it was taken by mother to wear?"

Lin Muxue didn't think too much about it.

However, not long after, shouts came from Lee Lan's side.

"My daughter, did you see that pair of gold bracelets? Today, a few of my sisters asked me to go out and play mahjong. I have to look respectable!"

Lee Lan was about to go to play mahjong. In order to show off, she also went to her room to rummage through the drawers and pick out all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. However, when she looked for them, she immediately realized that she was missing something.

"What!?" Mom, you lost something too? "

Lin Muxue immediately realized that something was wrong.

"That's right... Oh my god! My silver earrings have disappeared as well! "

Lee Lan was about to reply to Lin Muxue when she realized that she had lost another precious piece of jewelry. Immediately, she scratched her ears and cheeks in anxiety.

"Mom, don't be in such a hurry. I suspect that our home has been stolen!"

Lin Muxue walked out of her room. When she saw the anxious Lee Lan, she quickly opened her mouth to comfort her.

"What's wrong?" What happened? "

At this moment, Ning Yi, who was cooking in the kitchen, also heard the commotion and quickly ran out.

"Ning Yi, our family has probably been robbed!"

Lin Muxue recounted what had just happened.

"Stolen by a little thief? Tsk … "I don't think so. Quickly go and look for them, count them, and see what they have lost."

When Ning Yi heard the news, he immediately had a guess, but it was still hard to say it out loud.

"Alright, mom, let's go and have a good accounting!"

Lin Muxue and Lee Lan hurried back to their rooms and checked all kinds of jewelry, gold, silver, and other valuables.

After a short while, the results came out. It really was hard to tell if the results were true, but the moment he checked, he was startled.

Lee Lan and Lin Muxue had lost a total of five necklaces, eight rings, three bracelets, and four pairs of earrings.

If all these items were added together and their value was conserved, it would be worth around two million.

"To think that he lost so much, this thief is really despicable!"

"But, how did he get up to such a high floor? We didn't even notice!"

Seeing this number, Lin Muxue was also a little shocked. She waved her small fists, filled with righteous indignation, but soon after, she became puzzled.

"Heh, Muxue, thieves don't have to be outsiders. As the old saying goes, 'it's hard to guard against thieves when it's night and day'!"

Ning Yi sneered. The things that were lost, proved his previous judgment even more.

"Hmm? Ning Yi, what does that mean? "

Lin Muxue was still puzzled.

"Look, all of these things are small, easy to carry, and not easy for us to notice. If it wasn't for the fact that you guys happened to be bringing jewelry today, we might not have found them for a long time!"

"Also, Muxue, I remember that there should be a lot of cash in your bag. If it really is a normal thief from outside, even the dressing table is open, how could you leave a bunch of cash in your bag without taking it?"

"The reason is simple. This so-called 'thief' is afraid of attracting our attention in a short period of time, so he stole these trivial things!"

Ning Yi pointed to the door and dressing table of Lin Muxue and Lee Lan.

"Also, the door and the jewelry drawer are all locked. How did this thief steal everything without leaving any traces behind?"

Ning Yi showed the two to the keyhole. It was still intact and there were no signs of a lock being broken or forcibly opened.

"Ning Yi, you … "You mean …"

Hearing this, Lee Lan and Lin Muxue both came to a realization, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Ai, actually, I don't want to believe this answer either, but look, Old Lady Lin, who usually wants to stick around at our house and not go out even a single step, suddenly said that she wanted to go for a walk and left early in the morning. She hasn't come back yet."

"Don't you find it strange?"

Ning Yi pointed to Old Lady Lin's room.

"Fine, we'll let her eat and live, but this old man actually stole something from our family!"

Lee Lan came back to her senses and flew into a rage. She was about to rush into Old Lady Lin's room to search.

"Mom, don't worry. If you go in now, you won't be able to find anything. Today, she probably used the excuse of walking around to bring everything to Lin Yu!"

"There is no ironclad evidence yet, please do not alert the enemy!"

Ning Yi stopped the impulsive Lee Lan, preventing her from flaring up.

"Ning Yi, what do you think we should do now?"

Lin Muxue's face was also very unsightly. Originally, she had felt that although Old Lady Lin was not good to her family, she was still a large group of elderly people after all. It made sense for them to be in charge of supporting her.

"All of this is still just our speculation. Let's just wait a little longer. Hopefully, we're wrong!"

"Lock your valuables, jewelry, necklaces, and the like in the safe."

Ning Yi sighed.

Now that they didn't have any solid evidence and didn't have any good methods to deal with them for the time being, with Old Lady Lin's character that was thicker than the city walls, they couldn't do anything about it.

The best way was to make sure Old Lady Lin didn't steal it. This was a solution that she had no other choice.

"I hope it isn't that old fogey!"

"Otherwise, I will definitely send her to jail!"

Lee Lan was still furious and cursed loudly in her heart.

"Fine, fine, fine. Mom, calm down first."

Lin Muxue quickly stepped forward to persuade Ning Yi.

This kind of old bad guy who relied on his seniority to sell others was the hardest to deal with. With his age of seventy or eighty, he probably wouldn't even like them if they sent him to jail.1

"Ning Yi, if Grandma really did this, what are you going to do?"

After persuading Lee Lan, Lin Muxue pulled Ning Yi aside and whispered.

"I don't know. We'll talk about it when the time comes. Can I really send her to jail?"

Ning Yi didn't know what to do, so he answered.
