The villa was eerily quiet at four in the morning.
Su Qianfei's excited shouting could easily wake up the sleeping people.
The first to come over were two male colleagues from Huang Ting, who came over in vests and shorts.
The next person to arrive was Sister Zhang.
After that, there were several other male colleagues from the imperial court.
When Su Qianfei saw that Zhao Yu was not there, a look of 'as expected' immediately appeared in her eyes.
She was worried and asked the male colleague who shared a room with Zhao Yu: "Where is Zhao Yu? Why can't I see him?"
"Zhao Yu didn't come back tonight. What's wrong, Xiao Su? Didn't you say there was a thief? Where is the thief?"
The colleagues around didn't know that Su Qianfei was here to "catch an adulterer". They came here to watch out of kindness, thinking that the villa had been robbed.
Only Sister Zhang looked puzzled as she secretly observed Su Qianfei's expression.
She knew Su Qianfei's theory of "catch the thief and take the stolen goods, catch the adulterer and take both of them."
Sister Zhang guessed that Su Qianfei had most likely caught something on Qiao Muer and Zhao Yu.
Su Qianfei pointed behind her calmly, "The thief is inside... You guys are just in time, let's break the door open and rush in.
I just saw a man sneaking into Secretary Qiao's room. I came over and knocked on the door but no one opened it. I called out so loudly but there was no response. Secretary Qiao must be being held hostage by that man.
I tried to open the lock for a long time but couldn't. The thief also locked the door from the inside. You guys should think of a solution quickly."
Su Qianfei said this as she twisted the door handle anxiously.
But the door handle didn't move at all, it was indeed locked from the inside.
In fact, it is very normal to go back to your room and lock the door when you sleep at night.
They were staying together as a group and were not alone at home, so they did not need to lock the bedroom door.
But at this time, Su Qianfei was anxious and excited. When others heard this, they heard a man sneak into Secretary Qiao's room.
Even though she and Qiao Muer had some conflicts, she was still a woman after all, and this was in the suburbs. If Secretary Qiao was really killed by some desperate man...
Thinking of this, the male colleague next to her had already pulled Su Qianfei away.
"Get out of the way, let's knock on the door together—"
The two male colleagues had just gathered their strength and had not yet collided.
The tightly closed door was suddenly opened from the inside.
Wearing silk pajamas, with slightly messy hair, and a fair and delicate face that made her look even more lazy and charming, Qiao Muer appeared in front of everyone.
Qiao Muer leaned against the door frame, holding the open door handle with her left hand.
Her graceful body opened the door only halfway, covering most of it.
"What are you all doing here?" She yawned and raised her hand in an indescribably casual and charming way.
This is very different from the capable and stern image she usually gives people.
The two male colleagues who were standing in the front and preparing to bang on the door were staring with their eyes wide open.
The marketing director who had always been at odds with her said with a slight stammer: "Secretary Qiao, Secretary Qiao... are you... are you okay?"
Qiao Muer's long black hair fell behind her shoulders. She raised her fair and crystal face slightly and looked at him.
"I was sleeping well, what could have happened? Haha... I worked overtime until after three o'clock, and I just fell asleep for a while, and you woke me up. But you guys, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night, and why are there so many people making noise outside?"
The male colleague stared at Qiao Muer in amazement. Even her yawning was so graceful and charming. (To be continued)
