CHAPTER 497: CHAPTER 497: WHICH PERVERT ACTUALLY SNUCK INTO TONIGHT’S PARTY?

Because it was nighttime, Ji Wei struggled to open her eyes underwater, but she couldn’t clearly see what was wrapped around her ankle. She kicked forcefully several times, but it wouldn’t come off.

Ji Wei tried hard to keep herself calm and then reached out her hand to feel her ankle.

Her fingers came into contact with something that felt like shackles. She attempted to lift it, but the other end seemed to be attached to something heavy—she couldn’t move it at all.

This was all premeditated!

Someone had deliberately pushed her into the water, and someone lying in wait beneath the pool had used a heavy object to trap her, intending to drown her alive!

Ji Wei dragged the shackles as she struggled to move forward underwater.

The depth of the pool varied; she remembered one end was shallower, where the water only reached up to her neck.

She inched forward. Walking underwater was already difficult, let alone with something heavy wrapped around her foot.

Ji Wei felt the air trapped in her chest about to give out.

She hadn’t moved far before the feeling of suffocation hit her hard, pressing down on her heart. Instinctively, she opened her mouth, and the pool water rushed into her nose, making her feel unbearable pain.

In a state of oxygen-deprived fogginess, she dimly saw a tall figure swiftly swimming toward her...

The Qin Family’s mansion, second-floor balcony.

"Mr. Gu, we’ve already inspected all the surveillance footage in the mansion. We discovered a suspicious couple on camera. To avoid exposing their identities, they intentionally disguised themselves. That woman even took Madam’s bag from the dressing room."

Chen Ke hurried over and respectfully reported.

Gu Moqian’s deep, enigmatic eyes narrowed slightly, radiating a chilling sense of danger.

"Continue investigating for me. Turn Rongcheng upside down if you have to, but find the culprit!" he ordered sharply.

Anyone who harms his woman is not far from their death date.

"Understood, Mr. Gu."

Chen Ke responded and stepped back.

As soon as Chen Ke left, Xi Nanfeng couldn’t hold back his foul language: "What the f***! Who the hell is the pervert that sent someone to sneak into tonight’s party? Killing someone right under my nose? So brazen! I’m definitely going to hunt them down!"

"How could this happen?" Ye Cheng glanced at him indifferently.

"That group took the bag—it’s the breakthrough point." Xi Nanfeng replied, "Ji Xiaowei mentioned to me that her phone is missing. It must’ve been in the bag and got taken by those people together."

Gu Moqian’s gaze sharpened.

Ye Cheng looked at him, waiting for further insight.

"Besides racing, I’ve got a knack for tech stuff." Xi Nanfeng said proudly, "I’ll call up a buddy of mine right now; he’s a tracking genius when it comes to phone location. If those people use Ji Xiaowei’s phone, they’ll definitely be traceable!"

"How can you be sure they’ll use it?" Ye Cheng asked.

"Unless those people are brain-dead and want to expose themselves instantly, they wouldn’t swipe the black cards and golden cards in that bag. I’d bet my life they’ll use Ji Xiaowei’s phone!"

What Xi Nanfeng said made sense.

If the bag had no value to them, there would’ve been no reason to risk taking it.

They would definitely use Ji Wei’s phone for something...

"Old Xi, you actually brought your brain tonight for once." Gu Moqian said.

"If you’re going to praise me, just say it outright. Don’t beat around the bush—I don’t get that!" Xi Nanfeng seemed dissatisfied with his response.

"Get in touch with that friend of yours immediately."

Ye Cheng rarely showed a trace of amusement, patting Xi Nanfeng on the shoulder.

While pulling out his phone, Xi Nanfeng didn’t forget to ask for credit from Gu Moqian: "Old Mo, if this works out, you owe me big time!"
