The Reborn Honest Beta is a Fishing Beauty - Chapter 9 PT1

Chapter 9 PT1- ‘Why Do You Keep Touching Me?’

An unknown fear invaded his heart, giving him the illusion that someone was secretly watching him in the dark.

He hurriedly closed the pendant and looked around anxiously.

Just as he was hesitating and panicking, his light brain displayed an account with a completely black profile picture requesting him to be a friend. He instinctively felt it was related to the Purple Core Crystal, so he agreed without hesitation.

The other party sent him a photo.

In the photo, the purple core crystal is taped to one place.

Who is this person?

What exactly do you want to do?

He did not immediately ask the man’s purpose, but calmed down and thought about the current situation.

This person should be a bodyguard, servant, or even Qin Sen and Khalil in the search team, but he did not hand over the Purple Core Crystal. Could it be that he is also an enemy of Yuan Palace?

Or is the other party protecting him?

Su Nuo quickly denied the second point, thinking that no one would take the risk to protect themselves.

So that’s the first point.

Being the enemy of the Star Lord…

Thinking of this, Su Nuo first ruled out Qin Sen and Kalil. Both of them had died for the Star Lord in their previous lives and seemed loyal. Therefore, the person who hadn’t reported him must be a bodyguard or servant of Yuan Palace.

It would be much easier to know who was responsible for searching his room if we knew who was responsible for searching his room.

After sorting out his confused thoughts, Su Nuo sent a message to the other party.

【S: What you up to?】

【I should be the one asking you, what are you doing?】

【S: This is not mine. Anyway, thank you for not reporting me.】

The other party did not reply again. The account he added was a small account and no information could be seen.

Su Nuo thought that the other party should not have any hostility towards him, so he asked directly.

Where is it?

【Attic.】

Then another message came.

【Come up.】

Su Nuo turned off the light brain, frowned and thought for a moment, then walked towards the attic.

Standing at the attic door, he did not go in immediately. Instead, he held his breath and listened for a while. When he heard no sound, he opened the door and went in. However, the moment he entered, a hand suddenly knocked on the back of his neck in the dark.

Then he was pushed against the wall. The man was wearing leather gloves that felt rough and cold to the touch. He patted down his spine, as if checking if he had any weapons.

The other person’s hand pressed on his tailbone. He subconsciously wanted to resist, but was held back by the other person.

Su Nuo: “I don’t have any weapons.”

“Yeah?”

The other person’s voice was hoarse and unfamiliar, probably disguised through a voice changer.

As if he didn’t believe what Su Nuo said, he continued to check Su Nuo’s body, touching both sides of the waist, and then touched again because he was still unsure.

Su Nuo: “…” Su Nuo held his breath and lowered his voice, “Where is the Purple Core Crystal?”

“Do you know what Purple Core Crystal is?”

“I have no idea.”

“You don’t know? You still dare to steal it? Do you think you have the best of luck?”

“I didn’t steal it, someone gave it to me.”

“Who?”

Su Nuo didn’t say anything.

The other person did not let him go, but leaned closer to him, his breath lingering above the tip of his ear.

“It’s Yuan Jianyi, right?”

Noticing that Su Nuo’s body stiffened instantly when he heard the name, the other party smiled, knowing that he had guessed right.

“Do you trust him so much? You dare to keep this thing for him?”

Su Nuo did not answer but asked: “What secrets are in the Purple Core Crystal?”

The hand that was knocking on the back of his neck slowly closed, and the hard joints rubbed against the gland through the leather cover, and Su Nuo’s body stopped.

He always felt that this person’s behavior was a bit excessive.

The person behind him didn’t speak immediately. In the darkness, the atmosphere was a little heavy, and he was silent for a moment before speaking.

“You shouldn’t know so much, otherwise you wouldn’t even know how you died. I’ll keep the Purple Core Crystal for you.”

“No.” Su Nuo quickly made up an excuse in his mind, “Are you sure Qin Sen and Khalil won’t investigate your room? It’s more dangerous to keep it with you. I know how to hide it.”

“Oh? You knew how to hide it, then how did I find it?”

Hearing the sarcasm in the words, Su Nuo’s face turned pale. Fortunately, the lights in the attic were not on, so he could not see anything clearly.

“This was just an accident. If I lose it, I won’t be able to explain myself in the future, and it will be a capital crime.”

As if thinking about what Su Nuo said, the other person’s fingers moved unconsciously and touched Su Nuo’s Adam’s apple.

Su Nuo’s Adam’s apple moved uncomfortably, and he wondered, is there something wrong with this person?

‘Why do you keep touching me?’

If he didn’t know better, he would have thought the other party was taking advantage of him.

After a while, the other party lowered his head, his lips and teeth breathing almost touching the tip of Su Nuo’s ear: “I can give it to you, but not now. It depends on your performance.”

Su Nuo: “…”

What did this person want to watch?

He wanted to continue asking questions when he heard footsteps in the corridor. It must be the patrolling guards checking here.

“Was there a noise in the attic just now?”

“No, maybe rats, cockroaches or something.”

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Su Nuo turned his head away, wanting to warn the other party of the danger and to take a look at his appearance, but the other party noticed his intention and straightened his head with one hand, preventing him from looking.

He only whispered a warning: “Don’t move.”

Then, the hand that was knocking on his neck slowly loosened, and the breath behind him faded away.

At the same time, the guard was standing at the door of the attic.

“It’s a turbulent time now, so we’d better be cautious. Hey… why did they suddenly issue a notice to assemble in the middle of the night?” The guard complained, released his hand that was knocking on the door handle, and turned to leave.

Su Nuo looked behind him, but it was pitch black and he could not see anything.

That person had left.

The attic is very large and is divided into several functional areas. However, no one has walked around here for years, and a damp and moldy smell is everywhere.

Su Nuo didn’t dare turn on the light, and felt the wall with his hand, trying to determine which window the man had left from. Unfortunately, every window was tightly closed, and the man was like a ghost, coming and going without a trace.

He couldn’t figure out what his purpose was. Why did he call him to the attic and teach him a lesson?

He has been meeting more and more strange people lately.

Forget it, at least it can be judged that this person has no intention of reporting him, so there is no danger at the moment.

A lot of things happened today, and he was nervous and nervous after many twists and turns. He no longer had the energy to do anything else, so he returned to his room and went to bed early.

On the other side, on the third floor.

It seemed that only one wall lamp was intentionally turned on in the study. The light was dim, and the shadows cast were as sharp and terrifying as eagle claws and canine teeth, covering Qin Sen and Khalil.

Yuan Jing sat in his chair, his fingers tapping impatiently on the table, a puff of smoke escaping his nose. He waved to Khalil and Qin Sen, who immediately approached him.

Yuan Jing threw the fireworks at Khalil, who shuddered in fear.

Yuan Jing snorted, turned around and put out the cigarette on the back of Qin Sen’s hand.

Qin Sen didn’t hide.

“You two have disappointed me so much. You couldn’t catch the assassin, and he caused a scene at the celebration party. People are still ridiculing Yuan Palace online. Now you can’t even find the Purple Core Crystal. Didn’t you say you were sure it was in Yuan Palace?”

Khalil hurriedly said, “Star Lord, this is what Qin Sen said. He thinks the Purple Core Crystal is still in the Yuan Palace!”

Qin Sen didn’t look at Khalil as he analyzed the situation. “The thief must have known the secret of the Purple Core Crystal, but the secret hasn’t been made public yet. So something must have prevented him from using the Purple Core Crystal. That’s why I initially thought the Purple Core Crystal was still in the Yuan Palace, but he couldn’t get it out. Now that the search has been fruitless, the second possibility is possible.”

“Second scenario?”

“The Purple Core Crystal is no longer in the hands of the thief, and the person who got it doesn’t understand what it is.”

Yuan Jing changed his cigarette, and Khalil kindly lit it for him. Slowly exhaling the smoke, Yuan Jing said, “What’s the point of analyzing so much? I won’t be able to rest until I find the Purple Core Crystal.”

“Star Lord, at least we can be sure that the secret of the Purple Core Crystal will not be made public.”

“Hmph.” This didn’t make Yuan Jing feel any better. He hummed with a forced smile, “Do you still want to wait until that day comes?”

His cold and sinister gaze slowly lifted, sweeping towards Qin Sen and Khalil. Instantly, their necks felt as if they were being crushed by a massive rock, and they couldn’t help but lower their heads.

“You haven’t done your job well, so you should be punished. Bring me the whip.”
