Wang Cheng didn't notice anything wrong at first because the doors and windows were all closed. It wasn’t until he went upstairs and saw that the door of his parents’ room was open that he realized someone had come.

Papa and Mama Wang had formed a habit of closing their door - they’d occasionally forget if they were in a hurry, but that was quite rare, and there was nothing they were in a hurry for today. Wang Cheng could tell that something was wrong so he went in and looked around, and found that someone had moved some things in the room.

Wang Cheng checked a second time and found that the money hidden in the room was not stolen, and their valuables were also not stolen. If the thief had come for money, it would be impossible for them to leave these things.

In the evening, Wang Cheng told Wang Ning'an about this.

"Big brother, someone sneaked into the house today to steal something. I suspect that they came for the jade pendant."

"What exactly happened?" Wang Ning'an asked, surprised.

"The other party had searched our parents' room. They didn’t steal any money, but our father’s box was moved with the agreement inside flipped around, and there were signs of things being touched elsewhere. I checked, but nothing was stolen." Their family had not offended anyone in the Guan’s Village, so it was impossible for this to be someone attempting to retaliate.

"Don't tell our parents about this. If this is related to the jade pendant, the other party will definitely not let it go," Wang Ning'an warned.

"But we are going back to the Imperial Capital tomorrow. If someone really is looking for the jade pendant, what can we do if they break into the house again?" Wang Cheng was worried that his parents would be harmed as a result of this person.
