After returning home from the cemetery, Great-grandfather Fang and Great-grandmother Fang took a short break before going to visit old friends. There were still quite a few old friends in Qi 'an City. It was rare for them to visit, so they decided to catch up.
Great-grandfather Fang actually wanted to spend more time with Fang Zhao, but his heart ached for Fang Zhao and he didn't want to disturb him. He knew that Fang Zhao would have to split his attention to take care of them if the two elders stayed. Great-grandfather Fang didn't want to be a burden to Fang Zhao. Furthermore, Fang Zhao would be leaving Yanzhou for Huangzhou tomorrow morning. He needed to rest more. Great-grandfather Fang would let Fang Zhao stay in the Yanbei retirement facility for a period of time after the advanced course was completed.
After taking a few more photos, Great-grandfather Fang left in satisfaction. He had taken quite a few photos this time and could flaunt them on his friends' circle.
Fang Zhao got Yan Biao to drive the two elders out.
Fang Zhao had given Zuo Yu and Yan Biao a break during the quarantine period on Whale Island. They had spent Memorial Day at home, so they didn't need any extra time off now that they were back in Yanzhou.
Zuo Yu was packing up.
"Boss, should I place these gaming helmets on the shelf or …" Zuo Yu looked at Fang Zhao with a troubled expression.
Of the three new gaming helmets, one had been given to Fang Zhao when he had gone to Fiery Bird's Yanzhou branch yesterday. It was a belated New Year's gift and was a global limited edition.
The second was a gift from Silver Wing Media's professional gaming team. It was a spoil of war from last year's Challenger League. There were only 12 worldwide, and only one in Yanzhou. It had been given to Fang Zhao and had been signed by everyone in the team. It was also a token of their appreciation.
The third gaming helmet had been a crowdfunding gift from Fang Zhao's gaming fans. It had been sent directly to Silver Wing and Fang Zhao had received it when he had gone to the company. Along with the helmet was a handwritten letter. On it was Fang Zhao's wish to return to the gaming arena. More than a hundred people had signed it. This was just the paper version. The email version already had more than 10,000 signatories and was still increasing.
Curly Hair had his eyes on these three helmets. Now, Curly Hair wanted to keep the helmets in his little cabinet. This put Zuo Yu in a difficult position. Curly Hair's cabinet wasn't big, and it wasn't a place for collectibles. Furthermore, it was a commemorative edition gaming helmet, so Zuo Yu didn't let Curly Hair keep it. Now, Curly Hair was baring his teeth at him.
Fang Zhao glanced at the situation and said, "Put it on the shelf." After saying that, he gave Curly Hair a warning look.
Curly Hair whimpered softly.
"That's right. These valuables can be placed on the shelf to display them and also to prevent theft. The personal terminal will be able to display which item has been removed from the display shelf. " Zuo Yu pointed at the electronic screen on the display rack, which showed the number of exhibits and the temperature and humidity of individual exhibition holes.
After carefully placing the three gaming helmets on the shelf, Zuo Yu turned his head and saw Curly Hair squatting at the side, looking up at the shelf.
This dog … Why is it looking at the gaming helmet with eyes that are even brighter than when it's looking at a bone?
Is staring at these things filling my stomach or something?
Zuo Yu scratched his head in confusion. Could it be that dogs had a hobby of collecting?
However, Zuo Yu didn't know that in Curly Hair's heart, these three gaming helmets were his. Fang Zhao rarely played games at home. In any case, Fang Zhao loved music the most and didn't really like gaming. This meant that it belonged to Curly Hair.
After Zuo Yu left, Curly Hair retracted his gaze from the shelf and wagged his tail to play games!
He had brought one of the gaming helmets back home to HuangArt and had a spare. That night, Curly Hair played games the entire night. Fang Zhao had given him a new game.
In the morning, Curly Hair was pulled back by his ear by Fang Zhao. Otherwise, this dog wouldn't have continued playing without rest.
There were still classes and school assignments at HuangArt, so Fang Zhao left Yanzhou for Huangzhou Institute of Art after breakfast. After leaving, Fang Zhao added some feed to the water tank feeder and knocked on the side of the tank. "Take good care of the house."
Inside the water tank, the two "ears" of that soft "rabbit" swayed along with the weak flow of the water.
On the night that Fang Zhao left, two figures appeared at Fang Zhao's doorstep.
One of them fiddled with some equipment and gestured.
Di — —
The door was unlocked.
However, the two didn't enter immediately. Instead, they glanced at the sign hanging at the door.
"Ferocious beasts inside. No entry unless invited?"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled silently. Then, they quickly entered the room.
After confirming that the house's surveillance cameras and alarms had been dealt with, the two unloaded their equipment.
"Easy peasy," the skinny but nimble person said disdainfully.
"It's an old building, and this is the top floor. It won't be easy to notice." The shorter person surveyed the surroundings vigilantly.
Fang Zhao had bought Xue Jing's house back then. Perhaps when Xue Jing had bought a house here a few years ago, this building had been one of the best in the area, but after so many years, it had become an old building. Some of the facilities were no longer up to date, and there were many loopholes. For certain "professionals," it really wasn't difficult.
"So Fang Zhao lives here? This doesn't seem to match his status. "The other person took out a miniature camera and started taking pictures of the house.
Now, some of the old buildings in the area had already been demolished and rebuilt. They were taller and more beautiful. In comparison, the building Fang Zhao lived in was really lacking. If it had been a second-rate or third-rate celebrity living here, it would have been fine, but with Fang Zhao's current popularity and status, it didn't seem suitable.
"It's a good thing he lives here. Otherwise, the difficulty of our mission would increase by a few levels."
"All right, let's start the mission. You take your pictures, I'll search mine."
"What's there to panic about? Anyway, Fang Zhao has already gone to Huangzhou. No one will disturb us. Even if we sleep here for a night, no one will know."
One was a professional thief, the other an unscrupulous entertainment reporter. In their respective circles, they were very famous. Infamy was still fame. The two of them had worked together many times. This time, they had accepted a mission from their employer. Sneaking into Fang Zhao's house at night and digging up Fang Zhao's secrets. If they could unearth some world-shaking news, that would be even better.
"We still have to be a little more cautious. There might be some hidden mechanisms in the house."
"Are you talking about 'ferocious beasts'?" The skinny guy laughed.
The other person recalled the warning sign hanging on the door and couldn't help but laugh. "This Fang Zhao guy is really humorous."
"Don't say. That dog of his really bites. It's very professional. When Muzhou people talk about dogs, how proud are they? But even if they aren't convinced, they still have to admit that the dog is impressive. Fang Zhao loves that dog so much that he brings it with him everywhere he goes. "
"Nonsense. If it were me, I would bring it too. It's 200 million!"
After the two of them laughed, they borrowed the light from their lighting tools to get a rough look at the interior of the house.
"Didn't they say that Fang Zhao was very rich? This house doesn't look like much. "
It wasn't extravagant or exaggerated. It looked a little too simple. They had visited the mansions of many rich and powerful people. For someone of Fang Zhao's status, the decorations in his house could already be considered "shabby."
"This is what's scary. We can't tell what kind of person Fang Zhao is, nor can we tell what his preferences are."
"Fang Zhao is just a rather talented celebrity … Shouldn't he be called an artist now? Why would such a young artist be targeted? " The people who had hired them weren't good people. How had Fang Zhao, who was in the arts circles, attracted the attention of those people?
Who was he blocking?
Who cares, they just needed to get paid to work.
Fang Zhao had already brought the dog away, so they didn't have to worry about encountering it.
"It wasn't obvious at first, but now that I take a closer look, there are quite a few valuable things in his house!"
The professional thief's eyes lit up. His gaze swept over everything from the autographed custom-made guitar, the display shelf with several limited-edition gaming helmets, the water tank, and so on. These … will all be brought away later!
"This is the hybrid sea slug that's worth 80 million dollars?"
"The world's most expensive pet sea slug. Half of its body has extraterrestrial genes. It is said that it can be used as a light if you knock on it." The person who had been taking pictures moved closer to the water tank and knocked on it.
There was no reaction.
"It's not lighting up?"
"Could it be that there's something wrong with the operation? I remember watching Fang Zhao's live broadcast in the past. That's how he knocked. "
"Maybe it's a publicity stunt! It's to inflate the value of this sea slug. "
After knocking for a while, the sea slug in the water tank still didn't light up.
The skinny guy wasn't satisfied. He unlocked the water tank and used a tool to poke at it. Still no reaction.
"There's no doubt it's a publicity stunt. How boring. It's not worth 80 million at all. "
Because they knew that Fang Zhao wouldn't be coming back, no one usually came here. The two of them weren't in a hurry and were still in the mood to chat.
"I suddenly thought of a movie that was released recently, that sci-fi movie about sea slugs."
"Oh, you mean the one that's been trending online recently, the one about sea slugs that take advantage of their owner's absence to open the water tank and crawl out?"
"Yes, yes, yes. It's rather interesting. After watching that movie, every time I see a sea slug locked in a water tank, I can't help but wonder if a sea slug can really open the lid and crawl out by itself. "
"Tsk, one look and I can tell that you've never raised a sea slug before. You actually believe that? Science fiction is all about fantasy. Those are all things that can't possibly happen. But this one is really big. I've never seen such a big one of the shaggy-haired species. "
"It's enough to cook a pot."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
The two of them were silent for a while and looked at each other.
"Wouldn't it be too wasteful to eat it? Should we fish it out when we leave? We can sell it for quite a bit. "
"It's too eye-catching. Researchers won't take a liking to it, and pet owners rarely buy it. There's only one in the entire world. Why don't we … just cook it? I just took a look. There's a pot in the kitchen that can cook a pot, and there are all sorts of condiments. "A certain unscrupulous entertainment reporter swallowed his saliva. He loved eating sea slugs, and this species in front of him that he had never tried before made him envious.
"Eating an 80 million hot pot in a celebrity's house?" The skinny guy's eyes flashed with excitement.
Exciting!
"After eating, leave some soup residue for Fang Zhao. I wonder what kind of reaction Fang Zhao will have when he comes back and sees it. He'll probably explode?"
Hehehe.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he got!
Say it lazily.
See you tomorrow.
