Forensic Imperial Concubine

Once out of the Emerald House, Charles shouted at his men, "Go and find him no matter what it takes!"

"Yes, My Lord!" The men shot up at the newly addressed order before rushing away to find the man.

The loud footsteps and tense atmosphere stirred the entire mansion at its rest. Sue, who was just having tea in her room, got out with her maids to check what had happened. The moment she saw Charles, she caught sight of his dark look. "Charles, what happened?"

"A thief went inside. Please don't be afraid," Charles said, sounding as calm as possible. On the inside, he was raging. The thief had broken into the most guarded place of the mansion, his secret chamber. He had stolen something from him, and if he didn't take it back, he'd be dead.

"A thief?" Sue raised her eyebrows. "Isn't it a coincidence? Just as Harper came back, a burglary occurred?"

Charles shot her an unhappy look. He had no time for dealing with the disputes between her and Harper. Sue stopped the subject at once and then asked, "Has the thief been caught?"

"No. But he is somewhere nearby. We've lost sight of him," Charles said. His face reddened in fury. He wasn't expecting the thief to escape his mansion so quickly yet remain unseen by his guards. He had been hiding a powerful device in the chamber, one that could've injured the thief. But even then, the man escaped, without a drop of blood in sight. The thief wasn't just any other man out in the streets. He was trained.
