This was one of the reasons why Tang Susu wanted to stay away from him.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Zhiting had returned to the place where they had stopped earlier. To be precise, it was where Ying Chengya’s “corpse” was supposed to be.
At this moment, a black scorch mark was all that was left on the ground. The pale white ashes were blown up by the wind and disappeared.
However, he felt a strange aura here.
On the other side, Tang Susu and the others, who were preparing to move out at night, followed the Metahuman Squad to a secluded villa.
The villa’s style was very classical. The outer walls were covered with climbing plants, and there were also all kinds of rare and cute flowers. They were clustered together, and the fragrance of flowers was very pleasant.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the plants and checking that there were no other safety risks, they walked in one after another.
The interior had been cleaned up very well, and the interior decoration matched the style of the building very well. It had an old-fashioned and gorgeous palace style.
It was as if they had been transported to the once prosperous European Middle Ages in an instant, and a masquerade party for nobles and gentlemen was about to be held in the hall.
Lu Yunxiang and Bai Yanhui, these two people who were ex-socialites, could feel the attention paid to these things. Naturally, it was not difficult to see that someone had carefully arranged them in advance.
“I thought they were here simply to freeload on us. But it seems that they were actually preparing this for a long time.”
“His ulterior motive is so obvious,” Bai Yanhui muttered. He considered himself an expert, too. He had seen plenty of methods used to woo women.
However, it was very rare to see someone use such a patient method. Although he didn’t know where the man went, he could feel the other party’s intention and patience.
“Tsk, tsk. They even prepared flowers in such a short time.” He plucked the white roses in the vase. The dew was slightly swaying, and they were so bright that they looked like they had just been cut. “How extravagant. Do they have a chlorokineticist among them? They’re just going to waste their talents on this?”
Lu Yunxiang was already regretting following them, but she hid her regrets very well. “Do you know the meaning of white roses?”
“Innocence, respect, secret love, and willingness to give up everything?”
“More or less.” Lu Yunxiang lowered her head. “I thought I was here to look for supplies, but it turns out I’m here to witness someone’s love.”
“Isn’t that great? We can rest a bit before finding supplies.” Naturally, Bai Yanhui, who had a foul mouth, was kicked.
There were many white roses like this. Dumei was also looking at the bottle on the table in a daze.
Eighth became very excited. “Dumei, the boss must have known that you like white roses, so he asked Eleven to prepare so many of them. Changming must have already exhausted himself and is resting in bed.”
The “Mei” in Dumei actually meant white roses. Dumei loved white roses so much that she had once planted a garden full of them downstairs.
She suspected that the flower seeds used by Changming were all collected from her garden.
This time, she finally couldn’t control the surging emotions in her heart and walked towards Tang Susu on the sofa.
Tang Susu was taking advantage of Shen Zhiting’s departure to ask 008 about what to do with Ying Ya’s jade pendant.
‘Take it for yourself!’ 008 rubbed its hands together. ‘Buy a high-level talisman array and nurture the jade pendant for a period. It can erase the mark of the previous owner.’
She knew that Ying Chengya’s jade pendant was a high-grade one and it might have a lot of space and supplies as well as allow people to enter the pocket dimension. It was not that there were no such items in the System Shop, but despite saving up so much for so long, she still didn’t have enough to buy one.
Tang Susu refused. ‘1 don’t like it when others have used it. I’ll sell it to you. Do you want it?’
‘Yes, but only for 100 billion.’
Such a jade pendant was worth more than a trillion in the System’s Shop.
Tang Susu didn’t regret it, though. She only wanted to get rid of this strange jade pendant, but now that she had an unexpected benefit, she naturally had to sell it immediately.
This was to prevent 008 from becoming a coward when Shen Zhiting returned.
‘But 1 don’t sense the aura of that jade pendant. Where did you put it?’
Tang Susu’s expression changed slightly. She stood up and bumped into Dumei, who seemed to want to talk to her. “Wait, a second.”
Then, she ran towards the car outside.
The others looked at each other and quickly followed.
It was impossible for 008 not to feel the jade pendant that was in Mr. Tang’s trunk. With its money-grubber nature, it could dig out even a dime hidden in a corner.
Tang Susu’s bad feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
“Darn it!” When they opened the trunk, everyone saw a big hole in the bag that was originally wrapped tightly.. The jade pendant had disappeared!
