Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Yi Mu remained silent. He held the jade pendant tightly, stroking it gently with his fingers, as if he was touching a distant memory.

The touch was very familiar, as if he had touched a similar piece of jade somewhere before.

Pu Yin saw Yi Mu lowering his head, looking thoughtful. She decided not to disturb him and quietly returned to the area she was responsible for to continue the search.

Hua Chaochao, who was on the roof, looked back and forth between the jade pendant and Yi Mu. However, from her angle, she could not see the expression on Yi Mu's face. She could only guess. She muttered to herself, "I hope he won't find out anything."

If that's true, then his brain is really too good.

However, before she could come up with an answer, Hua Chaochao's ears suddenly moved, and then she looked up in the direction of the courtyard gate and murmured softly, "Here they come."

Then she'd have to find another place to hide.

Just because people inside can't see her doesn't mean people outside can't see her.

Hua Chaochao gently pushed forward with her hands, and her whole body floated down from the eaves like a light butterfly.

She did not deliberately look for a hidden hiding place, but walked casually to the side of the house, leaned against the wall, and waited quietly for their arrival.

About a minute later, Hua Chaochao heard the sound of a car stopping outside the yard.

Not only her, but the two people in the house also heard the sound of the car stopping.

Pu Yin immediately became alert. She put down what she was doing and looked at Yi Mu, "Master Mu..."

"Go out and see who it is."

At this time, Yi Mu had returned to his usual cold and indifferent appearance. He slowly put the jade pendant into his pocket, then raised his foot and slowly walked out of the house.

Pu Yin followed him silently.

Outside the yard.

Ji Xianchen got out of the passenger seat, held the car body with his hand, and said to the woman who got out of the car a step later than him, "It's a pity if you don't drive a racing car with your driving skills."

This was his first time riding in Hua Xi's car, and he only had one feeling throughout the whole journey, which was excitement.

It takes four or five hours to drive from Caijia City to here at normal speed, but Hua Xi shortened the time to one hour.

Hua Xi glanced at Ji Xianchen and replied, "You're not bad either."

"You overestimate me. I'm still a long way behind you." Ji Xianchen admitted that his driving skills were not as good as Hua Xi's.

Hua Xi no longer responded to him. She pushed open the gate of the courtyard. As soon as she raised her foot, her eyes suddenly froze.

Someone she didn't expect was walking out of the house.

Hua Chaochao, who was standing by the wall, curled up her lips: The most exciting part is coming.

Yi Mu also didn't expect that the person who came was Hua Xi, and his expression was stunned for a moment.

Ji Xianchen recognized Yi Mu, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but not as surprised as Hua Xi.

Since Gu Tu was the murderer of his parents, it was reasonable for him to track Gu Tu down here.

Pu Yin keenly noticed Yi Mu's abnormality. She looked blankly at the two strangers outside the door and asked Yi Mu, "Do you know them?"

Yi Mu didn't say anything, but Hua Xi spoke first, "You...know everything?"

Hua Chaozhao, who was sitting by the wall, moved slightly and changed to a more comfortable position to listen.

That's how it should be. What's the good of hiding things from each other? Since we have the same goal, we should be honest with each other and love each other.

However, Yi Mu had no intention of falling in love with Hua Xi. After he realized what was going on, he sneered, "What do I know? What should I know?"

"Hua Xi, please don't meddle in other people's business. I will avenge my parents myself."

Ji Xianchen frowned upon hearing these almost indifferent words, but he couldn't do anything because this was obviously not something he could get involved in.

Hua Xi didn't react much.

She replied calmly: "No matter what you say, I will not stop."

"Gu Tu, I'm going to take his life." His tone was very firm.

Yi Mu didn't care, "Then give it a try."

Let’s see who catches Gu Tu first.

The development of the story did not go as Hua Chaochao expected, but it was the most reasonable outcome.

Given their personalities, it was almost impossible for them to sit down and have a good talk calmly.

Listening to their tense conversation, Hua Chaochao shook her head helplessly.

As expected, they were taught by the same person, and both of them have tempers as stubborn as donkeys.

No, donkeys are much more obedient than them.

"Give it to them, let's go." Yi Mu turned and said to Pu Yin who was still in a confused state.

They had almost finished searching Gu Tu's house, and they wouldn't find any new clues if they continued searching. Rather than staying and wasting time, they might as well leave now.

So, Yi Mu walked past Hua Xi and Ji Xianchen with an indifferent expression, as if they were two unrelated strangers.

Hua Xi remained quietly in her original posture, staring straight ahead, without turning around to look at Yi Mu's departing back.

After Yi Mu left, Ji Xianchen nonchalantly commented, "It seems like your childhood sweetheart doesn't appreciate your kindness."

Ji Xianchen knew Hua Xi. She was actually a person who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She didn't tell Yi Mu about the murderer because she didn't want to put him in danger.

Hua Xi's expression remained calm, "No need."

……

Pu Yin's heart was full of doubts. She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but she swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.

She knew that as a qualified subordinate, she should not ask too much about her master's affairs. Her duty was to obey orders, not to talk too much.

And without Yi Mu saying anything, she could guess a little from their words that the girl among the two people just now seemed to have a close relationship with Yi Mu's parents, and she was also looking for Gu Tu to avenge Yi Mu's parents.

Unlike Pu Yin's entanglement, Yi Mu had already put the matter behind him. He took out the jade pendant he found in the ancient butcher's house from his pocket and handed it to Pu Yin, "Check which family in Xuanzhou this jade came from."

Just now, a flash of enlightenment suddenly came into Yi Mu's mind, and he finally remembered why the jade pendant felt so familiar.

Because his mother had a necklace made of jade of similar texture, and the warm touch was exactly the same as the jade pendant in front of him.

Although Yi Mu was not sure whether this jade pendant belonged to his mother, he was sure that there must be an inextricable connection between the jade pendant and his mother.

Once we find out the origin of the jade pendant, perhaps we can understand the reason why his parents were killed.

He still refused to believe that his parents' death was an accident.

Pu Yin took the jade pendant with both hands and said, "Okay."

Then she asked, "Gu Tu may have left. Should we continue to track him down?"

"After being discovered this time, he will definitely be more cautious and will not show up easily again in the short term."
