At this moment, Zhang Cheng was resting in bed. Recently, the whole issue with Qiao Mei and the jewelry had caused him sleepless nights. He kept dreaming about those days when he was with Gao Tao. Sometimes, he would even dream that Gao Tao had come back to take his life.

He had chased away all his mistresses. He and Liang Jin kept separate bedrooms and the two of them had not slept on the same bed for a long time. If not for the matter with Gao Tao, neither one of them would want to continue living with the other for so many years.

Qiao Mei avoided all the areas with guards and used the vines to make her way to Zhang Chengs bedroom window. She gently blew some highly concentrated datura powder inside, causing Zhang Cheng to become unconscious for a short while. After confirming that Zhang Cheng would not be regaining consciousness anytime soon, Qiao Mei slowly used the vines to pin down Zhang Cheng and then remove the cufflink from his clothes.

Zhang Cheng was very protective of the cufflink and wore it even when he was sleeping. Even when he took a shower, he would set it down in his line of sight. He had done so for many years.

He suddenly felt that there was something pressing down on him and he began to have trouble breathing. He thought it felt like there was a ghost pressing on him. He could clearly feel that someone had removed his cufflink, but he could not open his eyes to see it for himself.

After Qiao Mei succeeded, she left very quickly. The vines on Zhang Chengs body slowly slithered away and disappeared without a trace. Not long after, Zhang Cheng woke up. He instinctively reached out for his cufflink and suddenly realized that it was really gone! That was not a dream just now! It was real!

“Men! Men!” Zhang Cheng shouted wildly as if he had gone crazy.

Zhang Ping rushed into Zhang Chengs house with his men. He switched on all the lights in the room but did not see anyone. He knew very well that Zhang Cheng had been plagued by nightmares recently. Perhaps he had just woken up from one.

“Old Master, did you have another nightmare?” Zhang Ping asked tentatively.

“No! Someone came in just now! Go and check now! Someone came into my room!” Zhang Cheng shouted agitatedly.

Zhang Ping immediately went to check the window to see if there were any signs of forced entry. However, the window was properly closed, in the same way that he had done every night. Just now, he had been standing outside the bedroom door, so no one could have entered Zhang Chengs room from there.

“Old Master, take a sip of water and calm down. No one has come into the house today,” Zhang Ping said calmly as he held out a teacup.

Zhang Cheng grabbed the teacup and threw it to the floor as he scolded loudly, “1 have lost my cufflink! Someone took my cufflink! I saw it with my own eyes! Look at the marks on my body where he strangled me! Go and look for him! What a bunch of useless people! Go now!”

Zhang Ping raised his head and looked at Zhang Cheng. There were no signs of any swelling or wounds. The only thing was that his pajamas looked a little wrinkled, but the cufflink was really gone. He did not want to keep refuting Zhang Cheng. Perhaps Zhang Cheng was so frightened by his nightmare that he could not distinguish between reality and dream.

Qiao Mei had made sure that she blew the exact amount of datura powder to work just long enough tor the red marks caused by the vines to disappear. No matter how Zhang Cheng described the incident, no one would believe him.

Zhang Ping asked all the men to search for the cufflink in every corner of the house. He was sure that Zhang Cheng had dropped them somewhere. He knew that this cufflink was very important to Zhang Cheng.

“Search thoroughly! Don’t miss any corner!” Zhang Ping said.

The entire Zhang family was in an uproar. By now, Qiao Mei had already returned to the villa. After she reached home, she looked at the cufflink under the moonlight. She could feel that there was a lot of energy in this cufflink, but it just could not resonate with her. Could this thing have sworn allegiance to its owner? Was there any way to remove the allegiance?

She infused her energy into it and also tried to use the other jewelry to communicate with it. Qiao Mei even smeared her blood on the cufflink. Although there was a weak reaction, there still seemed to be an obstruction. It was getting very late, so Qiao Mei kept away the jewelry, making sure to use separate hiding places for the cufflink and the set with the necklace and ring. If the Zhang family came looking for her, she had her own way to deal with them.

The next morning, Da Nan brought her the information about the Gao family. It was just as Qiao Mei had guessed. Gao Lin and Gao Ming were both at the hospital now. Gao Lin had two sons. One was Gao Mings father, Gao Ning, who died in a car accident. The other son, Gao Long, had injured his nervous system in the same car accident and had completely lost all feeling in his lower body. He was still recuperating at home and they had hired a helper to take care of him.

“Send me there,” Qiao Mei said with a sigh..
