Long Linger threw the tools used for the crime into the woods, then circled back home through the side door. She went to her room, first took a shower, and washed off all the dust, then changed into fresh loungewear and sat down. After locking the door behind her, she sat on the couch and opened the Brocade Box.
The box, square-shaped, clearly had three slots, yet only housed two rings—a golden and a silver Dragon Ring. Her father had mentioned earlier that the black-gold Dragon Ring was missing. Despite their classic and exquisite design, the gold and silver rings still shone brightly in the light, clearly treasure!
But why was one missing?
"Knock, knock, knock..." A knock at the door echoed.
Long Linger quickly hid the box under the blanket and went to open the door.
Standing outside was the angry Long Yutian.
"Uh, Dad, what happened to you?"
