Chapter 149 Eye of Insight
"There should be."

Seraphina nodded, remembering her uncle Henry's office on the second floor. She frowned and said this. Seeing Li Xiaoen's sullen expression, her eyes widened. "Xiaoen, are you saying that someone took advantage of the chaos to steal those confidential documents?"

"This is just my guess."

Li Xiaoen took a deep breath and told the story. He no longer felt any burden. "As for whether it's true or not, I don't know."

"Whether that's the case or not, we all have to be on guard."

Seraphina complained anxiously, quickly picking up the pager hanging on her waist, "I'll tell Augustus right away."

"Seraphina, I advise you not to do this."

Li Xiaoen was about to speak when Su Feier suddenly appeared beside him and interrupted him. "All of this is too strange. I wonder if there's a traitor in the manor. Maybe it's the butler?"

It was exactly the same as what he wanted to say. Li Xiaoen couldn't help but look at Sufeil in surprise, and received a nonchalant roll of the eyes from the girl.

"Augustus has been with my uncle for many years. If he had an idea, he would have put it into action long ago."

Seraphina couldn't help but retort, "He is my uncle's most trusted subordinate."

"If you want to protect your greatest interests, prepare for the worst, and imagine everyone as your enemy is the best way."

Li Xiaoen took over the conversation and didn't plan to say anything else.

That’s all I have to say. Although many times our worries may be groundless, these cautious measures are undoubtedly the most reassuring.

What's more, based on what happened before, the possibility of there being an insider is even greater - not everyone can accept being stabbed in the back by a partner they once relied on and trusted while working together.

"Then I'll go up and take a look."

After frowning and thinking for a while, Seraphina finally made up her mind, put down the cocktail shaker, drew the pistol from her waist, turned and walked towards the exit.

"Hey……"

Seeing this, several people couldn't help but shout, "Seraphina, are you going up there alone?"

"What else can I do?"

Seraphina turned around, with a matter-of-fact look on her face, "Uncle Henry is leaving. I can't let the family secrets be stolen."

"Didn't we say before that there was a high possibility of a mole? We were referring to security issues."

Li Xiaoen leaned against the wooden bar helplessly. Seeing Seraphina's distressed look, he hesitated for a moment before nodding, "I'll go with you."

"no!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two voices rejected it in unison. Everyone turned around in surprise and saw Victoria and Sufei with sullen faces.

"I really don't know why you, a person who just started shooting, are so brave?"

Sufei let out a long breath, moved quickly, and pulled Seraphina's arm. "Seraphina and I will go. Victoria, you guys stay inside."

After that, without waiting for anyone else to say anything, he and Seraphina opened the door and walked out.

"..."

Is there a chance to show a few girls his current shooting skills?
Li Xiaoen was puzzled as he had already accumulated a year's worth of firearms training experience, but he had no chance to put it to use.

Seeing that the girls were determined and could not be persuaded, he did not insist any more, walked to the bar, and raised his chin at Victoria who was squinting at him.

"Victoria, what would you like to drink? How about I make you a drink?"

As he spoke, Li Xiaoen hid his hand in the dark, took out the last Ruyi treasure from his backpack, and whispered the spell.

[Successfully use the "Wish Come True" skill, and the host will gain a limited-time Eye of Insight, which lasts for 12 hours]

[Limited-Time Eye of Insight: Can be activated by the host at will. Once activated, the host's consciousness will spread to a radius of 500 meters, taking in all the details, appearances, and movements of everything, and can detect observations from infinite distances. Each activation consumes time, and the current duration is 12 hours.]

As expected, for this type of non-immediate prevention, Ruyi's spell was changed to a spell that could be freely invoked for a long time according to his wishes.

Li Xiaoen pondered in his heart, but still couldn't help feeling a little strange.

The second time is a triggerable protective shield, and the third time is a limited-time insight into everything around. Aren’t they just the first domain protective shield separated?

Can you still play like this?
The matter was done, so he didn't think too much about it. The two spells he obtained later could be used freely for a long time, which made his life more secure and convenient.

[Limited-time Eye of Insight has been opened, limited time: 11:59:59]

As soon as the belief was moved, a familiar scene appeared in Li Xiaoen's mind again. The entire mansion, and even the appearance and every move of all things in the distance outside were clearly visible.

At this time, Sufeil and Seraphina walked out of the room on the first floor together and negotiated with the two guards guarding the door with a normal expression.

His attention spread to the entire mansion, and seeing that no one was behaving abnormally, Li Xiaoen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the previous speculation about backstabbing by an insider was the worst-case scenario. In the current situation, if the insider really wanted to lead them to the underground shelter, it meant that they did not dare to do anything to hurt others openly.

On the surface, this mansion is still protected by layers of protection.

Looking back at myself, searching, I found myself being stared at by two pairs of eyes.

Li Xiaoen: "..."

When Li Xiaoen came to his senses, he realized that the two girls in front of him were looking at him, and he was stunned for a moment.

"What do you want to drink?"

Li Xiaoen raised his chin with a smile.

"Mary, is this the spell he used before he went into a trance?"

Victoria ignored him and turned to look at Mary, receiving a smile and repeated nods from her.

"I was just meditating, thank you."

Li Xiaoen helplessly explained, "I'll make a unique cocktail for you to try."

"is it?"

Victoria nodded nonchalantly, then sat down at the bar, supporting her smooth chin with her hand. "Please begin your performance, Mr. Sean."

"Okay."

Li Xiaoen turned around meaningfully and took out some strawberries, blueberries, oranges, and soda water from the cold storage at the back...

"Sean, wait a minute..."

Watching the young man cut the fruit into dices with a knife and spread them layer by layer in the cup, Victoria quickly said, "Are you really making a cocktail?"

"nature."

Li Xiaoen raised his eyebrows and began to pour soda water and liqueur into the glass in turn, and finally put a thin layer of vodka on it, put a straw in it, garnished it with two lemon slices, and pushed it in front of Victoria.

"You look like fruit tea."

Victoria couldn't help but be attracted by the bright colors of different intervals in the cup, so she looked up and asked a question.

She saw all the young man's operations. Most of the drink was soda water, and only the top layer of liqueur and a little vodka on the top could be considered as alcohol. Isn't it obviously a fruit tea method?

"Didn't I add some base wine?" Li Xiaoen answered with a smile, and casually opened the cocktail shaker that Seraphina had been fiddling with before, preparing to taste it himself first.

She opened her mouth but couldn't find any reason to refute. Victoria felt weird and had to lower her head and take a sip of the "cocktail" in the cup.

The taste is sweet and refreshing, with a strong grape aroma, which is indeed the taste of fruit tea.

Maybe it was another way to make fruit tea that she learned from looking at her phone in their dormitory before, Victoria thought to herself, and she couldn't help but give the young man a blank look, but didn't say anything else.

He poured the light blue liquor in the cocktail shaker into the cup, with a lot of fine powder floating on top. He even saw a spring in the cocktail shaker. Li Xiaoen couldn't help swallowing his saliva and paused as he was about to put the straw in.

"Mary, do you know what ingredients are used in this drink that Serafina made?"

Li Xiaoen still asked Mary, who was drinking a homemade cocktail next to him. He didn't know the specific name of the proprietary cocktail, so he simply asked directly about the ingredients.

"I do not know."

Mary and Victoria looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads, "But don't worry, Sean, Seraphina uses non-toxic ingredients that don't conflict with each other, so you don't have to worry."

"Ingredients?"

Li Xiaoen raised an eyebrow, "Are there any eggs or something?"

He has seen some related videos on the Internet.

"It's egg white." Mary rolled her eyes and explained with a pursed mouth, "Don't worry, this is a well-established cocktail. It won't be harmful."

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiaoen put a straw into the cup and took a small sip of the wine.

As soon as he took a sip, he felt a spicy taste that hit his head directly, and then there was a faint warm and sweet feeling. Li Xiaoen couldn't help but frowned.

"Ha ha……"

This look caused the two girls to laugh continuously. Li Xiaoen couldn't help but roll his eyes, sat in the chair and slowly calmed down, then took another sip.

With the previous preparation, he felt much better this time. The sweetness after the spiciness always attracted him to take the next sip.

It's really magical, Li Xiaoen was a little surprised.

However, one can taste the high alcohol content of this cocktail. Seraphina wouldn't want to get drunk in the shelter under such circumstances, right?
Thinking in his mind, seeing that the three of them had drinks, Li Xiaoen simply focused all his attention on the two girls on the second floor of the mansion.

What he didn't expect was that in a spacious office on the second floor, Seraphina directed several security guards to wrap a large pile of paper documents with bed sheets, and even carried a large safe downstairs.

Seeing the huge group of people carrying things to the underground shelter, he couldn't help but nod repeatedly in his heart.

If there really is a traitor, considering the other party's identity, it is still possible that he knows the password of the safe or can crack it, but as long as everything is moved downstairs and you can see it with your own eyes, you can't go wrong.

His mind scanned the movements and expressions of all the guards, and seeing that no one appeared abnormal, Li Xiaoen stood up and walked to the door of the shelter. Just then, Seraphina's voice came from the intercom next to the door.

The door was opened and the two women, a pile of documents, and an iron lump were put back in. The heavy door was closed again. The few people looked at each other and finally relaxed completely.

"Come, drink and drink."

Seraphina was very happy and walked quickly to the bar. When she saw the situation inside, her face suddenly darkened.

"Sean!"

……

"I kindly reminded you, and you're repaying me with hatred?"

Li Xiaoen sighed, holding the knife in his hand and started dicing the fruits again - seeing that Victoria was drinking rainbow fruit tea, Seraphina clamored for a cup as compensation, and Sufeil also spoke up, he simply prepared the ingredients for five people.

"You just cut up some fruit and put it on top, but I had to shake my cocktail for a long time!"

Seraphina glared in dissatisfaction, but her eyes subconsciously glanced at the half-drunk cocktail that Li Xiaoen had drunk - she had wanted to take it and continue drinking it, but was stopped by Victoria and several other girls.

Feeling indignant, Seraphina took out her cell phone, pointed it at Li Xiaoen, and took several photos.

"Serafina..."

Li Xiaoen cried out helplessly.

"hey-hey……"

Seraphina laughed so hard that her shoulders shook. "I'll create a chat group for the five of us and post it there."

"Okay, I agree."

After hearing this, Victoria and the other girls who were still hesitating whether to speak up to stop him immediately echoed and smiled.

Li Xiaoen: "..."

Who said Seraphina is not smart? She can even drag her teammates down.

Complaining in his heart, Li Xiaoen realized that the Eye of Insight was still open. At the last moment before closing it, his mind scanned the entire mansion.

I noticed that Uncle Seraphina's office was a mess, with only a little maid working hard to clean it up.

Henry, who had trained Seraphina into obedience, would be so surprised to see this scene when he came back.

Feeling amused, Li Xiaoen was about to start a joke, but just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly realized something and couldn't help holding his breath.

The Eye of Insight opened again, and Li Xiaoen memorized the appearance and every move of the maid in the office. He then looked at a large dormitory in the corner, confirmed that there were several other maids hiding there, and then closed it again.

Yes.

Li Xiaoen suddenly realized and let out a long breath. He finally had some ideas about how to solve the strange feeling that had been bothering him.

What a maid does is cleaning. Her task and her actions seem normal. No one would find anything unreasonable when seeing a maid cleaning.

But what if it’s a time of chaos like now, with a suspected danger of invasion by outsiders?

In such an emergency situation, everyone would be nervous and hurried past, and even his scanning of the behavior of everyone in the entire mansion was naturally ignored.

Quite interesting.

After realizing that this meant danger, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but feel excited and laughed.

"Seeing that you've been in a daze and dithering since the beginning, let me help you."

At this moment, Victoria stood up and interrupted Li Xiaoen's thoughts with a leisurely word.

"No thanks, Victoria."

Li Xiaoen reached out and grasped the girl's soft, boneless hand, smiling, "Someone will help us."

"Anyone help me?"

"Yes."

Li Xiaoen smiled and nodded, then looked up at Seraphina. When the other person's face became gloomy, he spoke slowly.

"Seraphina, I have one more thing to remind you. How about you make fruit tea for the five of us?"
