My Husband is the Emperor : I Woke Up With a Husband-Chapter 379 - 360: Finding Puzzle Pieces-II

Li Jun Wei had the air different than others which make him very much as a leader. His words were clear and short but it was enough to deliver what he wants to say. Although the head of the house was Mr. Xie, he can’t help but to sway and believe Li Jun Wei’s words, heeding to his words and believe the maid could steal more than only rings from the house.

Li Jun Wei said, "I think you should keep a keen eye Miss Xie, seeing that this maid has stolen rings, it could be that most of your accessories are in her room now."

Xie Hue Lin grew suspicious to Qing, the maid. Qing begged for Xie Hue Lin to believe her but was it possible that the maid had stole what she had. To add, she doesn’t think she should reject Li Jun Wei’s words now, knowing how much her father want to have a good connection with the man.

"I believe you, Qing but this compulsory to prove your innocent. If we find nothing from your room, you could be prove as innocent," Xie Hue Lin seemed to trust the maid when in truth she didn’t care much whether Qing was innocent or not.

With that most people left, but Mrs. He said to He Chang Min, "I can’t keep up with this clown like entertainment. I will go down and wait. Chang Min, I have asked for Senior Mrs. Xie’s permission so you could stay on the house and sleep over to spend your time. Don’t make mistake and spend more time with Hue Lin." When Mrs. Xie spoke, she didn’t use a motherly tone or words as instruction but her cold eyes spoke in a demanding and ordering tone.

He Chang Min didn’t make an expression but his hand had turned white as blood stopped flowing with how strong he clenched his hands. "Thank you mother," said He Chang Min before seeing his mother off and smile at a drop of a hat, his smile disappeared from his face only anger came over to cover his face which always looked serene.

Xie Hue Lin had left following the rest going down before He Chang Min followed. Meanwhile Li Lian didn’t come with the group to search through the maid’s room. Living in the house for years, she knew her way to the rooms in the house. If in the one year she was in a coma not many was changed, she knows where to go.

Thankfully after the accident all maids were told to keep a watch in the lobby and with the commotion where the maid had stolen her rings she had placed to Qing’s pocket, the hallways were deserted from people.

Li Lian made her way to where Xie Hue Lin’s room was, placing her hand to door knob, she pushed to open when she noticed how the door wasn’t locked and a smile appeared on her lips. Turning her head left and right, Li Lian entered the room carefully and locked the door behind her.

She then walked around Xie Hue Lin’s room, finding how everything was still in place as how she remembered. Li Lian took note of the time. Having not much time for herself, she scattered around the room, trying to find whatever she could.

Li Lian looked around the place, the drawers seemed to be suspicious and opening its she only found books, papers, and things that were not related to what she had to find. Searching through the mountain of drawers took her fifteen minutes and she wasn’t sure if she have any more time left. Seeing the bed, Li Lian then noticed how the cover of the bed which reached to floor seemed to be oddly long.

Curiously seeing the dusts that accumulate on the bottom unlike the rest of the place which was cleaned, Li Lian made her way around the bed, rolling the bed sheet Li Lian then saw a small brown box.

As her hands took the brown box, pulling it toward her, she saw the rusty padlock. The box were made by rigid woods but if she use her pressure to pull the box, Li Lian was sure she could open the box without needing a key but that would leave evidence.

Wondering what she should do, Li Lian then realize the bobby pin in her hair and pulled it out to then twist and turn the lock. Back in Maple House, Li Lian would follow her twin brother’s mischievousness one of it was to pick lock in order to open doors that were closed. Hearing the sound of click, Li Lian then opened the box.

Her eyes went first to see a phone of a very old model. There was six record tapes stacked and bellow seemed like a paper. Taking it out one by one, Li Lian read the writings of the record tape, watching how there was no single writing in it that could tell her what the recording had inside. She tried to turn on the phone which had no battery and had to put it back to the box to then take the paper.

Pulling it open, Li Lian realized it wasn’t a paper but a picture. At the same time when she saw the picture, Li Lian heard a sound of footsteps stopping in front of the door and out of reflex, she entered under the bed.

Xie Hue Lin was in disbelief after she had entered Qing’s room. Everything that was hers were found in the maid’s room! To think that she had rather favor the maid only to find the maid embarrassed her in front of Li Jun Wei and her parents made her furious. She wanted to scream and yell in her room, to vent the anger that was boiling inside her and she did exactly what she thought. Entering her room, she pulled the door open and ran to her bed. Taking the pillow, she slammed it hard to the bed for a few times.
