708 The Liu thieves

Time flew by in the blink of an eye. 

In the dead silence of one late night, a figure cautiously tip-toed across the Liu villa. The coast was clear and everybody was sound asleep, perfect to execute the devious plans. An evil laughter whispered in the corridor, but it was quickly held back lest anybody would catch the trace of it.

The figure entered the gold mine-like place they had been dreaming of for a long time. Drool formed on the lips, thinking of all the treasures hidden inside this magical mine.

But the figure froze as they heard a soft hustle in the air. The sensitive senses quickly caught the disturbance the followed.

Somebody is here.

Whether to fight or flight was the question. The presence of the figure at such late night all alone would raise eyebrows.

Damn it! Should I abort the plan?

In the end, they thought it was better safe than sorry and quietly turned back to return. But a small whisper echoed.
