My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 213 - 119: Netting Them All_4

Although the Thief Sect was secretive and cautious, whether it was the Chiefs or the envoys, they were just ordinary people without cultivation at most having practiced some basic Martial Path. Faced with Li Anning and the skilled guards led by Housekeeper Wu from the Li Mansion, they had nowhere to escape.

Li Anning walked in from outside, saw the Crossbow Arrow in Li Nuo’s hand, and asked with concern, "Husband, are you alright?"

Li Nuo threw the arrow on the ground, clapped his hands, and said, "I’m fine."

The guards of the Li Mansion entered one by one and captured all the high-ranking members of the Thief Sect.

Although only twenty-one people were captured, except for the Sect Leader, all the high-ranking members of the Thief Sect had been caught in one fell swoop. By following up on them, the sixty-four stewards and formal sect members would also have nowhere to hide.

However, these matters were now up to the Chang’an County Government, the Ministry of Justice.

Li Anning curiously asked Li Nuo, "How was your identity exposed?"

They arrived just in time to see these people trying to flee.

Luckily, they arrived in time. If these people had managed to escape earlier, all their efforts over the past few days would have been in vain.

Li Nuo waved his hand and said, "That’s not important. Let’s quickly interrogate these people. Delay will lead to complications; once the stewards below sense something wrong, we will have wasted our efforts..."

Each of the sixteen Chiefs had four stewards under them.

These stewards’ identities and addresses were well known to their respective Chiefs.

And each steward was also well aware of the details of the Thieves under them.

From top to bottom, like following the vine to get to the melon, they could completely uproot the entire Thief Sect.

It was already curfew in Chang’an, and the city gates had long been closed; these people had no chance of escaping.

These matters no longer required Li Nuo’s personal involvement.

He just needed to wait for the results.

Now, all he wanted was to sleep.

These days, his mind had been tense every moment, and even his sleep was no exception.

Now that this tension had finally eased, he felt incredibly exhausted.

The high-ranking members of the Thief Sect were being led out one by one. Li Anning turned to look and found that Li Nuo had fallen asleep on the table.

She slowly walked over; indeed, he had had a hard few days.

She reached out to tidy Li Nuo’s messy hair when Housekeeper Wu entered from outside.

Li Anning’s already extended hand stopped mid-air, and then she withdrew it.

She suddenly realized that it was no longer appropriate for her to do so.

He was now someone else’s husband.

Housekeeper Wu carefully picked up Li Nuo and said to Li Anning, "Your Highness, I’m taking the young master home. You should also go back and rest early."

Li Anning watched as Housekeeper Wu carried Li Nuo away, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss.

It wasn’t just a feeling of loss; it was actual loss.

Until just moments ago, they were an intimate couple; suddenly, an endless distance had grown between them.

Those beautiful memories seemed like just a dream.

The dream was over, and everything had returned to reality.

However, she quickly composed herself and pushed this strange feeling out of her mind.

The high-ranking members of the Thief Sect needed to be interrogated urgently; tonight was likely going to be another sleepless night.

After returning to the Princess Mansion and changing clothes, she went straight to the Ministry of Justice.

Meanwhile, at the Song Residence.

Song Jiaren had already gone to bed. Hearing a knock on the door, she got dressed, got out of bed, and opened the door.

Li Nuo was standing at the door. Once again smelling the familiar scent on his wife, he sighed with relief, instantly feeling more relaxed, and said, "Wife, I’m back..."

Song Jiaren looked at the face that was strange yet faintly familiar and froze for a moment.

Seeing his wife staring at his face, Li Nuo realized he was still in disguise.

He ran to the fountain in the courtyard, about to wash off his makeup, when suddenly a voice came from behind.

"Wait..."

Li Nuo turned around, seeing his wife still staring at his face.
