Chapter 273 Sheep entering tiger’s mouth

"What does this young man need?" the proprietress said with a smile, and looked him up and down calmly.

This jewelry store of theirs has been open for many years. All customers who come into the store to buy things usually look at what they are wearing first. If the customer is wearing silk or satin, they will pick out the good ones for you. If the customer is wearing ordinary clothes, they will pick out inferior products.

"I want to buy a gold hairpin for my mother. I wonder if you have any nice ones in your store?" While Si Chengyi was speaking, his eyes were checking every corner of the store. He just glanced at the accessories on the shelves and it seemed that he was not here to buy anything.

Although the shop owner was a little confused, she didn't think too much about it and enthusiastically took out several high-quality gold hairpins for him. They were simple and elegant in style, and finely crafted. They were the most popular ones worn by aristocratic ladies and ladies nowadays.

Si Chengyi only took a casual look and asked, "Are there any other styles? My mother has all of these, and I want to buy something different for her birthday."

"Yes, please wait a moment." The proprietress responded with a smile and turned to go into the house. Soon she heard the sound of a lock being unlocked from inside. At this time, there was only a young woman outside.

Si Chengyi looked around the entire jewelry store even more unscrupulously, thinking in his mind how he would get in and out if he came at night, and then his eyes fell on the several shelves on the counter where jewelry were placed.

The valuable and worthless items were kept separately. After locking on to the specific target, Si Chengyi turned and left. When the proprietress came out again, she saw that there was no one in front of the counter.

When asked the young woman where the young man was, the young woman replied that he had just left.

After leaving the jewelry store, Si Chengyi turned around and went to the cloth shop, bought a set of black clothes, and decided to do it tonight.

It's not something legitimate, so he decided to do it alone at night. If he finds someone else, won't he have to give him half of it?

After dinner in the evening, Si Chengyi went out, hiding his bag behind him in the moonlight, and the servant at the door did not see him.

He came out early, so he found a restaurant, ordered two side dishes, and started eating by himself. When the restaurant was about to close, he stood up calmly, took the clothes he had bought in the afternoon and went out.

It was already midnight when Si Chengyi came out of the restaurant. He slowly strolled to Zhuque Street. At this time, people occasionally passed by on the street, and the shops on both sides began to close.

Si Chengyi looked at the silver shop from afar. At this moment, the shop was completely dark and it seemed that it had been closed for a long time. He was waiting in the dark. It was still early, so he could wait until midnight before taking action.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people on the street. Si Chengyi waited anxiously, constantly standing up or sitting down to move around. He was so cold that even if he put on the clothes he bought in the afternoon, it didn't help much.

The time finally came to midnight, and the whole street was shrouded in darkness. It was quiet everywhere. Looking up at the beginning and end of the street to make sure that no one was passing by, Si Chengyi covered his mouth and nose with a black cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed.

After making sure that there was no one around, he carefully walked out of the darkness. Even though there was no one on the street, he was still feeling uneasy.

This was the first time he had done something like this. He tiptoed around and kept looking around, fearing that someone would suddenly appear.

In fact, there are people living in many shops on Zhuque Street. Some of them are waiters who look after the shops, and some do business downstairs and live upstairs.

He just didn't know whether this silver shop was occupied at night and who lived there. He remembered that when he came, there was only a proprietress and a young woman.

If they were the only two people in the store, even if they were discovered, I believe they would not dare to make a noise. After all, two women would damage their reputation.

Before coming here, he had done his homework and knew how to open the lock from the outside.

But even though he knew it, when he tried to open the lock himself, it still took a lot of effort and made a lot of noise, which scared him and he was afraid of alarming the people inside.

After listening for a long time without hearing any movement, Si Chengyi finally felt relieved and breathed a deep breath. Fortunately, he was not discovered by the people inside.

Finally the lock was opened, Si Chengyi tiptoed and pushed the door open, trying not to make any noise. The room was dark and he couldn't see anything. He quickly turned around and closed the door.

Since he had been there in the afternoon, he had a certain understanding of the environment inside the house and lit the oil lamp that he had prepared in advance.

The dim light illuminated a small area. He remembered that those valuable jewelries were all placed on a shelf on the east wall. When he held the oil lamp and shone it towards that wall, he saw that it was indeed full of jewels.

The glittering golden jewellery almost dazzled Si Chengyi's eyes under the light. All these good things were his.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile. He immediately put the oil lamp in his hand on the counter, took out the bag he had prepared in advance, and put all the jewelry on the shelf into the bag.

Such great joy surged in his heart that he didn't hear the sound of the door being locked. He put not only the items on the east shelf, but also everything else of value that he saw into his bag.

At this moment, he was really glad that he chose this store. There was no one there. It was so smooth. It seemed that God was blessing him!

After putting away all the valuables, Si Chengyi shouldered the cloth bag, picked up the oil lamp and was about to leave. When he arrived at the door full of joy, he wanted to open it.

The door couldn't be opened. Si Chengyi looked down in confusion. The lock that he had originally destroyed was now intact and the door was locked again.

He was so shocked that his eyes suddenly widened, and at the same time he was filled with boundless fear. He lost his grip on the bag and it slipped down.

Soon after, he heard faint footsteps behind him, which sounded particularly clear in the silent night. Si Chengyi's heart rose to his throat. He swallowed hard and turned around stiffly and slowly.

It was not until he felt the footsteps stop behind him that he turned around completely and saw the people behind him. He thought that two women were running the store.

But why was there a man in front of him, tall and strong, looking at him ferociously?
