“Are you saying that you could have been here before?” Yu Yuehan caught the main point in her words.

Nian Xiaomu let go of his hand with uncertainty and walked forward.

She passed through the courtyard and walked up the steps.

The living room of the Tan family’s ancestral residence was right in front.

However, there was a very advanced combination lock on the door.

They couldn’t enter the residence, so there shouldn’t be anyone else inside.

Nian Xiaomu followed Yu Yuehan and searched the entire Tan family’s ancestor residence.

Apart from the few vagrants whom they had discovered in the courtyard earlier on when they entered, no one else was around in the Tan family’s ancestral residence.

Needless to say, Tan Bengbeng wasn’t there either.

Nian Xiaomu still could not recall anything…

They headed back to where the vagrants were.

The assistant had already spoken to them again before they left.

He had confirmed that the lock at the main gate had already been tampered with before they came and that they merely jumped at this chance and moved in to stay for free.

There was one thing for sure; no one had ever entered the Tan family’s ancestral residence since they had moved in.

However, one or two people would occasionally pass by the residence.

“What’s the approximate frequency of people passing by?” Yu Yuehan collected his gaze and asked casually.

The vagrants were slightly stunned and one of them replied, “We can’t give you a precise answer to this. Many people pass by sometimes, and fewer people at other times. But basically, there would be people passing by every day.”

“Young Master Han, there is a road at the gate. It leads straight to the city center.” The assistant reported respectfully.

Someone passed by the gate just when they were speaking.

He was merely an ordinary passerby.

“Young Master Han, should we hire someone to open the lock?” The assistant inquired.

Since they were already here, they might as well enter the premises as they could not find any useful information outside.

Perhaps there would be some clues inside.

“This is a private residential area, do you want to get invited to the police station for a tea session by forcing open the locks without permission?” A deep ray of light enveloped Yu Yuehan’s dark eyes.

He seemed to already have something on his mind as he held onto Nian Xiaomu’s hand and got ready to leave.

The assistant pointed to the few vagrants and asked, “What about these men?”

“Figure it out yourself.” After Yu Yuehan left his last instruction, he held onto Nian Xiaomu’s hand and left the Tan family’s ancestral residence.

He instructed the chauffeur to drive off the moment they got onto the car.

Seeing that he was about to get left behind, the assistant could not be bothered with the vagrants and scurried into the car.

Just after he was seated in the car, he heard Yu Yuehan’s voice. “Head to the airport, we will return immediately!”

“Yes.” The chauffeur dared not comment much. After he started the engine, he reversed the car and headed straight to the airport.

Just as the car exited the road where the Tan family residence was situated, a “bang” sound suddenly rang; the car slanted to the side in an uncontrolled manner and headed straight toward the electric pole at the roadside!

Screech!

They were in imminent peril where life and death were concerned, the chauffeur stepped hard on the brakes.

“What happened?” Yu Yuehan asked in a deep voice, as he sheltered Nian Xiaomu in his arms.

The chauffeur had broken out in a cold sweat as he replied, “The tire seemed to have punctured!”

The chauffeur pushed open the car door and got out. After giving it a thorough check, he confirmed that the tire had indeed punctured.

They were lucky that he had fast reflexes and stepped on the brakes in time.

As they needed to change the tire, Nian Xiaomu followed Yu Yuehan and got out.

They heard the chauffeur cursing under his breath as they stepped foot to the ground.

“Who is the wicked one who threw nails onto the road? Any car that drove by would definitely have had its tires punctured. This person seriously does not have any moral values!”

Nian Xiaomu reached out to take a look and saw the chauffeur pick up the nails.

“Let me take a look.”

Just when she walked forward to take the nail from him, she suddenly heard the sound of a vehicle accelerating.

As she looked up, she saw a car nearby driving toward her at top speed!

“Nian Xiaomu!”
