#890 - Puzzle
“Young Master, be careful!!”
As the object thrown by the old beggar drew an arc in the air and landed precisely behind the window, Zhang San's shout exploded in the room at the first moment, and his figure flashed out, instantly blocking Wei Changtian.
It's no wonder he reacted so strongly.
After all, unlike in Yongding, few people in Linchuan City now know that Wei Changtian lives here, and it is impossible for people to run over and throw stinky eggs and rotten vegetables to vent their anger.
Therefore, this object is likely to be a "dangerous item."
“Bang bang bang!!”
Tables and chairs were overturned, and the internal force around him surged wildly.
Although Zhang San had not yet seen what it was, his subconscious series of actions undoubtedly showed his loyalty.
Wei Changtian's expression was much calmer, but he frowned unconsciously.
In fact, he had noticed this object even before Zhang San.
More precisely, he had even seen what this object was.
Because of this, Wei Changtian didn't make any move now.
Because it was not a "dangerous item", but a beautifully crafted hairpin.
“Shua~”
With a wave of his hand, the golden hairpin flew into his hand, dragging its tassels.
Looking at the golden hairpin in his palm, Wei Changtian's expression gradually became strange.
Someone threw a hairpin in?
What does it mean??
These people may not even see a top-three master who can stand in the air once in their lifetime, so it is normal to have such a reaction at this time.
Wei Changtian didn't care about everyone's eyes, but scanned everyone one by one, his face gradually becoming more and more ugly.
Without a doubt, these people should all be ordinary people.
As for the mysterious person who threw the hairpin... I guess they have already escaped by now.
“Hu”
Taking a deep breath, Wei Changtian understood that he couldn't ask anything even if he asked these people, so he quickly returned to the room.
Li Zimu and Zhang San immediately surrounded him, and asked with worried expressions:
“Young Master, have you found the thief?”
“What did the thief throw in?”
“.”
Without answering immediately, Wei Changtian walked to the table with a blank expression and sat down, placing the golden hairpin in his hand on the table.
“This is...”
Li Zimu and Zhang San looked at the beautifully crafted hairpin and were a little confused for a while.
Like Wei Changtian just now, they couldn't figure out why someone would throw such a thing in.
After a while, Wei Changtian opened his mouth and answered word by word:
“This is Wan'er's hairpin.”
“. Madam Xu's hairpin?”
Looking at each other, Li Zimu and Zhang San's eyes instantly became surprised.
“I won't be mistaken.”
On the other side, Wei Changtian frowned and continued:
“This hairpin was specially customized when I married Wan'er, and there is only this one in the world.”
“And now that it has fallen into the hands of others...”
Clenching his fists, Wei Changtian didn't continue to speak, but Li Zimu and Zhang San already understood the meaning of his words.
Without a doubt, this was a threat.
After all, being able to get this hairpin means that the person who threw the hairpin has the ability to sneak into Wei Changtian's mansion in Shuzhou City without anyone knowing.
And this time it was a hairpin that was thrown, so what about next time?
Will it be a living person?
“Send a letter to Wan'er and ask her about the hairpin.”
After being silent for a long time, Wei Changtian finally said slowly: “But don't tell her the truth for the time being, so as not to confuse her.”
“Yes.”
Zhang San immediately responded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked cautiously: “Young Master, do you want to strengthen the defenses in Shuzhou City, or take the madams to another place to avoid it first?”
“.”
Wei Changtian shook his head: “Qin'er is still pregnant and cannot be frightened.”
“Besides, since this person dares to threaten me so blatantly, his methods must be more than these, and I guess it's useless to hide.”
“Let's just leave it like this, I'll think about what to do next.”
“Yes”
Responding again, Zhang San and Li Zimu glanced at each other quietly, knowing that Wei Changtian needed to be quiet at this time, so they both slowly retreated from the room.
“Squeak~”
The door closed gently, and there was soon no movement in the room, only Wei Changtian's breathing was faint.
Just as he said, this was definitely a warning.
It's just, who exactly did this warning come from?
Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead, and faces flashed quickly in his mind.
Liu Yuanshan, Ning Yongnian, Yan Huanwen, and Lü Hongji... Without a doubt, he has many enemies, and most of them are enemies of life and death.
Although he has been trying his best to eradicate them, these forces are so huge, how can he not leave a trace of flaws?
What is certain is that there are countless people in the world who want to kill him now.
However, among these people, there are not many who have the ability to steal this hairpin from his home.
After all, Shuzhou City is his base camp, and the house where Xu Qingwan and others live has been secretly and openly arranged with countless guards, among which there are even top-three masters.
With this kind of "security level", unless there is an inside agent, it is extremely difficult to steal this hairpin.
More importantly, if these enemies really have the ability to enter the mansion and steal the hairpin, then why bother to warn him? Wouldn't killing a few people directly be the best revenge for him?
Therefore, comprehensively analyzing from the two aspects of "ability" and "motivation", Wei Changtian does not think that the person who stole the hairpin is the "remnant" of those enemies he had made before.
Then, who exactly is he?
“Dong, dong, dong”
His fingers tapped the table rhythmically, and Wei Changtian closed his eyes and thought for a long time.
The golden sunlight outside the window shone in, coating the golden hairpin on the table with a layer of streamer.
Then, at a certain moment, he finally slowly opened his eyes, as if he already had an answer.
Or rather, he had a guess, which was the only possibility he could think of now—
The person who stole the hairpin was the mastermind behind yesterday's assassination, and also the mysterious person behind Huo Tianyang.
Only this person has the ability to steal the hairpin, and only he has the motivation to play such a "cat and mouse" game with him.
Finally, as for what he is warning himself...
He just went to find those four masters of the Jiuzhen Sect this morning, and then something like this happened in less than two hours... Wei Changtian didn't believe it was a coincidence, so he quickly came to two conclusions.
First, this person is threatening him not to continue investigating his identity.
Second, this person is likely to be in Linchuan City.
“.”
Slowly raising his head, he glanced out the window.
The shadows of the trees were obliquely intertwined on the wooden window, and in the scorching light and shadow, the criss-crossing outlines appeared particularly intricate.
