The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 267



267. The Villain’s Counter-Surveillance

These people were well-trained, organized, and coordinated. Some scouted, some kept watch, some blew the gas, and some unlocked the door, all in one go.

After all, Lin Nuo only brought a maid back to the Lin family, didn’t invite anyone else, and didn’t have his own army. There were no strict guards outside, and Lin Nuo’s room was remote, making it easy to spy on him.

After confirming that no one noticed anything unusual and that there was no one in the nearby corridor, they started to act.

Framing and incriminating, this method involved placing the treasure, the Mist Spirit Bracelet, in Lin Nuo’s room and then accusing him of stealing it. This was a tactic used by those in power to crush those with less power, and it worked every time.

Those in power also controlled public opinion, making slander easy.

Even if Lin Nuo claimed to be innocent and tried to clear his name, he wouldn’t be given the chance.

Even if people found the situation suspicious and thought it was a setup, it didn’t matter. Those in power only needed a reason to slander those with less power.

With solid evidence, finding the Mist Spirit Bracelet in his room, there was no chance for him to clear his name. He would be directly slandered, his reputation ruined, affecting not only his personal name but also the Xuan Yun Sect.

For a cultivator who brought shame to the Xuan Yun Sect, there would be no face left to stay, adding insult to injury for him.

They entered the room and noticed that Lin Nuo was still sound asleep on the bed.

Due to the poor lighting and the fact that Lin Nuo had hidden Li Ruo’er’s shoes first, with Li Ruo’er sleeping inside, it was impossible to see without getting close.

Confirming that Lin Nuo was in a deep sleep, they continued their actions.

They opened Lin Nuo’s cabinet, found a hidden spot, and placed the Mist Spirit Bracelet inside, then closed the cabinet door.

There was no movement on the bed, clearly, Lin Nuo was still asleep and hadn’t noticed anything.

The person hiding the treasure made a gesture to the person outside the door, indicating that everything was going smoothly, no problems.

The person inside came out, and then the person outside closed the door and locked it.

Well-trained, they completed the task in one go, without any hesitation.

The room was quite secluded, so there was little resistance in their actions, and it was very successful.

The person who acted left first, but to prevent Lin Nuo from waking up and noticing any problems, they still left someone nearby to patrol, occasionally listening for any movement in Lin Nuo’s room.

In this way, they aimed for a steady victory. After observing for one night, they would send someone to search at dawn and find the treasure in Lin Nuo’s room on the spot.

Then, naturally, they would frame him, because he hadn’t invited anyone over, and there weren’t many people in the Lin family mansion to support him. In this way, he would be at a disadvantage in public opinion.

It was best to search just after placing the Mist Spirit Bracelet, but to avoid disturbing the guests at night, they had to wait until the next morning.

There were always people patrolling near Lin Nuo’s room, ostensibly for security, but actually to monitor Lin Nuo.

Inside the room, Lin Nuo on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

Goodness, just as expected.

In this life, he had become the target.

Thinking back, this trick had appeared in the previous life too, but the target wasn’t him.

It was his second brother.

This was a farce of dog-eat-dog, which had happened in the previous life during the Lin family’s grand celebration. At that time, the Mist Spirit Bracelet was found in his second brother’s room, followed by public opinion suppression, and then his second brother got into trouble.

In the previous life, he wasn’t well-liked, so no one would go to great lengths to frame him.

Who would be so foolish to frame him? Was it interesting? He posed no threat at all, who would bother with such a thing.

But in this life, the target had changed.

However, he could understand.

After all, in this life, he had inadvertently provoked their forces.

That casino was the beginning, then coming to the Lin family mansion and clashing with Lin Fei’s people was the fuse.

Perhaps they thought Lin Nuo was already a big threat and wanted to suppress him.

No problem, he came here intending to act low-key, but that didn’t mean he would swallow his anger.

There were people patrolling outside, even paying attention to every move inside the room.

No worries, he had anticipated this.

Talisman, he had placed talismans in the four corners of the room in advance. These talismans were significant, and after setting them up, he cast a spell to confuse the vision of the people outside.

Even if they tried to look inside through the window cracks, it wouldn’t work, because when the talismans were effective, they would still see darkness inside.

As for sounds and movements, they were naturally blocked as well.

As an excellent villain, having dealt with many unscrupulous people, he understood the principle of “walls have ears.” He was skilled at preventing surveillance and eavesdropping.

These talismans were made by him personally, though they consumed a lot of materials. No problem, he had become a righteous figure and received many rewards, enough to use.

Sometimes, a moment of humiliation is just for better performance in the future.

This is enduring humiliation for a greater cause.

Moreover, this talisman is made using advanced technology. Unless one is a pinnacle figure in talisman crafting, it is impossible to crack this set of talisman techniques.

The sleeping incense makes people fall into a deep sleep, and then the crime is committed. He is familiar with this routine. Although the method is old, the effect is excellent. The sleeping incense only makes people fall into a deep sleep, with no significant side effects, and it is not poisonous. Even if investigated, it is hard to detect.

How could the sleeping incense affect him? As a major villain, he even sticks a repellent patch on his skin while sleeping, a small patch that can immunize the effect of the sleeping incense.

As for Li Ruo’er, she has been affected by the sleeping incense and is now sleeping soundly.

No need to stick the repellent patch on her. It’s good for her to sleep soundly, so she won’t wake up suddenly and shout, “There’s a thief, catch the thief,” bringing the whole village over, ruining others’ affairs and his own.

Someone is delivering something, and you scare them away, how can that be?

Sleep well, I’ll wake you up later.

Lin Nuo cast a spell, the talisman worked, and he got up. He could hear the sounds outside, which seemed normal.

The talisman was likely effective, but to be cautious, he had to conduct an experiment first.

He cleared his throat and shouted outside:

“Hey, you idiot outside, I’m awake!”

Good, no response from outside, the talisman worked, a shield layer has appeared, blocking the sounds and images inside the room.

Alright, I remember he put it in the cabinet.

Lin Nuo opened the cabinet and searched for a while before finding a spirit bracelet in a hidden compartment.

“Goodness, hidden so deep, I searched for so long.”

Lin Nuo examined the misty spirit bracelet, its surface crystal clear and finely crafted, with seemingly powerful spiritual energy hidden inside.

A treasure of the Lin family, Lin Fei, you are indeed talented to get it out.

This room cannot hide it, as they will search everywhere. He cannot go out either, as he would be discovered upon leaving the room.

Lin Nuo’s gaze returned to Li Ruo’er.

Alright, it’s you, Li Ruo’er.
