Chapter 207: A Threatening Note
Zi Yi had been busy the entire day and it was only the next day when she recalled that the thieves caught by the robots were still locked inside the bar.
She informed the housekeeper of her departure and drove to the bar.
At 9 a.m, Sanyue Street was so deserted that only cats could be seen.
Zi Yi parked her racing car outside the bar and walked over to open the door. Just as she was about to enter, someone called out to her, “Miss.”
Looking over, she saw a bearded man wearing a jacket standing by the door and looking at her.
“What’s the matter?”
That person’s expression was somewhat odd. “There isn’t anyone inside your bar during this time, right?”
“No, why’d you ask?”
The jacketed man’s expression became very strange.
He guessed that there must have been thieves who trespassed into her bar. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be sounds of movements from time to time.
However, he was unclear about the identity of Zi Yi. Besides, there were people (Ouyang Ming’s group of friends) who came over and warned the bar owners on the streets not to help this woman. As a result, the man in the jacket said, “Oh, it’s nothing.”
Afterward, he went back to his bar.
Zi Yi was puzzled at his question but did not pay much attention to him as she opened the door and entered.
As soon as she entered Robot A greeted her. “Master.”
“What happened to those thieves?”
“They have been locked up in the cellar.”
Zi Yi headed towards the cellar.
Robot A followed her and said as he walked, “Master, after we captured those thieves, we did not feed them food or drink and forced them to watch horror films.”
Zi Yi paused for a moment, glanced at Robot A, and patted him on the shoulder. “Not bad.”
She then asked further, “What are the effects?”
“Those thieves are most probably scared silly.”
Zi Yi and Robot A soon arrived at a room in the cellar. There was a glass window and she could see what had happened inside.
The room was empty and there were only a group of thieves locked inside.
Looking at their pale complexions, it was obviously a symptom of them being frightened out of their wits.
Zi Yi was just about to enter when Robot A reminded her. “Master, they have been scared out of their wits until they peed themselves for the past few days. There should be an unpleasant stench inside.”
Zi Yi’s outstretched hands immediately drew back. She turned around and walked up the cellar stairs while giving orders. “Throw them into the wilderness later. After that, remove all traces of their presence to prevent anyone from finding any clues.”
“I understand, Master.”
Zi Yi and Robot A left the cellar and the other robots were all waiting in the hall.
Zi Yi then asked, “Have you all chosen the looks and skin you want?”
“Master, we’ve all chosen.”
Zi Yi nodded and motioned for Robot A. “Bring up the control panel. I’ll buy all the parts today then.”
Robot A turned over and revealed the control panel on his back.
While she was busy placing orders, she said, “I’ll order two skins and looks for each one of you. At that time, you can also exchange them between each other.”
“Thank you, Master.”
After she finished placing the order, sounds of knocking could be heard from the door.
One of the robots glanced at the surveillance and said, “Master, a man wearing a courier uniform left a package and went away.”
“Scan what is inside.”
The robot went to the door and swiftly scanned through the package. “There’s nothing dangerous inside.”
“Bring it in.”
When the robot brought the package in, it directly opened it at the door.
“Master, there’s only a note.”
“Read it aloud.”
“If you want the Lu Family’s jade piece, come alone to No. 18 Phoenix Road. Remember, if you bring someone along, don’t even think of getting the jade piece ever again.”
