Chapter 170: Your Third Young Master Came in While Chasing a Woman

Zi Yi only managed to recover her senses after a moment. She swiftly retreated and at the same time, took out a hidden weapon and aimed it at the woman.

The figure of the masked man and woman became virtual shadows in the downpour. Zi Yi guessed that both of them should be skilled in ancient martial arts or something.

Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and activated the mechanism for her hidden weapon.

At the same time, she threw out a circular ball.

As expected, the woman avoided her hidden weapon and dashed forwards in her direction.

“Just in time.” Zi Yi curled her lips and shouted to the masked man, “Stand still!”

Zi Yi stood rooted to the spot without avoiding the oncoming figure. Looking at the woman approaching her, a flash of lightning was attracted by the item she threw on the ground.

Shortly after came the sound of the ground exploding.

The burning scent of clothes and skin wafted in the air.

Even though the woman was wounded, she was unexpectedly still able to escape.

Zi Yi saw the masked man swiftly chase after her. She touched the rainwater on her face and headed towards the door.

Just as she walked into the living room, she could hear fast-approaching footsteps behind her.

The housekeeper’s urgent concerned voice sounded. “Miss Zi, are you alright?”

Zi Yi turned to look at the housekeeper standing behind her and nodded her head. “I’m fine.”

The housekeeper looked at Zi Yi who was drenched, the rainwater made her appear particularly pitiful. He hesitated for a moment and asked, “Miss Zi, there was so much thunder and lightning attracted over here earlier. Did you install something on the courtyard’s wall?”

“It’s just a lightning conductor.”

“…”

The housekeeper was surprised. “Miss Zi, how could you install a lightning conductor? The entire villa might get destroyed!”

“It’ll be alright to just install a lightning deflector in the courtyard.”

“…”

Hearing how calm Zi Yi’s tone was, the housekeeper felt that he was making a fuss.

Just then, Zi Yi suddenly asked, “Why aren’t you asking if someone trespassed in the courtyard instead?”

She chuckled as she asked. When the housekeeper was nervous for a second, she added, “Your Third Young Master entered while chasing after a woman. This should be a scheme he had plotted in advance?”

The housekeeper opened his mouth as if he had wanted to say something. In the end, he closed his mouth, breathed out a sigh of relief a few seconds later, and said, “So Miss Zi already knows that the Third Young Master came.”

“Yep.”

The housekeeper notioned to the bodyguards behind him. “Head outside to check the situation in the courtyard.”

Several bodyguards immediately retreated.

He then said in a stern tone, “Miss Zi, everything the Third Young Master does needs to be kept a secret. Please do not divulge this information.”

Zi Yi nodded. She was not someone who liked to be a busybody. “Get someone to restore my pavilion rockery to its original appearance.”

“Ok, I will make sure it’s done.” The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Miss Zi did not continue to pry further.

“Miss Zi, you can continue resting. Just leave the rest for us to settle.”

Zi Yi nodded, turned around, and headed upstairs.

The next day.

The rain that continued for an entire night had finally stopped.

The skies cleared after the rain, and Zi Yi came down to the living room. She first ordered the robots to check the courtyard wall.

While she took a tablet and swiftly swiped across it.

The housekeeper walked over and said to her, “Miss Zi, the workers that are repairing the walls have been contacted, and they will be coming over today.”

Zi Yi hummed.

He continued speaking, “If you don’t wish to stay here today, you can directly head over to the other villa.”

Zi Yi looked up in surprise at his words.

“Your Third Young Master left?”

“This…”

“I understand, I can’t ask. Is that it?”

“Yes.”

Zi Yi did not continue asking. “I’ll stay here tonight.”

The housekeeper did not persuade her. He merely nodded and went to arrange the house.

After she finished her meal, Zi Yi drove to the <Xi Ci> gallery.

The Dou Family siblings were already waiting for her there.

When they saw her arrival, Dou Xiangling immediately pulled her hands as she said with a proud expression, “See, true to what I’ve said, Yiyi is very smart. As it turns out, you are the person who ranked first in the Metropolis University’s independent enrollment.”

However, Dou Zerui looked at her with a complicated gaze. “Since your grades are so good, why didn’t you reveal it?”
