Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

"Give."

Hei Xiazi looked down and saw Shen Mingchao handing him a red box with a sticker that read "Peace and Joy" on it.

"What is this?"

"It's only fair to reciprocate." Shen Mingchao smiled slightly and explained, "I found this while visiting a temple. I thought it was pretty, so I bought it. It's called the Five Gods of Wealth Crystal Car Pendant. It's a gift for you, Mr. Hei."

Those words were indeed incredibly pleasant to hear.

The bitter taste in his mouth completely disappeared. Black Bear reached out and took the box, slowly taking the trailer out of it.

A golden rope is strung with colorful crystal beads, with a carved golden peace lock in the middle, and small gold plaques with gourds, the character "福" (fortune), and zodiac animals hanging below.

The sunlight slanted down, and the object immediately reflected a kaleidoscope of colors, like a shattered rainbow.

The light suddenly burst into the blind man's vision.

An absurd idea popped into his head, and he subconsciously tried to see the scene before him more clearly.

So, for the first time ever, he asked, "Would you like to see my eyes?"

"what?"

Shen Mingchao thought he was hallucinating.

How did a car pendant end up here?

She remembered Shen Mingyue saying that the eyes were a taboo subject for Hei Xiazi, and that anyone who had seen Hei Xiazi's eyes had died.

so......

Is this a kind of alternative death warning?

Shen Mingchao quickly refused: "I don't want to."

"Why?" Black Glasses smiled enigmatically. "Aren't you curious? I'm not blind, so why do I always wear sunglasses?"

Shen Mingchao covered his disguise and casually remarked, "Trying to act cool?"

Hei Xiazi choked, and had to admit, "That's part of the reason."

"but......"

He deliberately dragged out the sound, and when Shen Mingchao was completely off guard, he suddenly turned his head, a wicked smile on his face, and reached out to pull his sunglasses down half an inch.

Shen Mingchao had no time to react before her gaze met Hei Xiazi's. She didn't dare to breathe, wondering what this man was up to.

Fortunately, Hei Xiazi quickly put his sunglasses back on and then persistently asked her what she thought.

That's just insane. What kind of feelings can you possibly have about that?

Tell me about it~

"I'm just curious, you blind man~"

For a moment, Shen Mingchao suspected that this guy had lied about his age. Did he look like someone who was over a hundred years old?

Tired of being pestered, Shen Mingchao gave up and told the truth: "Hmm, pretty good. Beautiful eye shape, bright eyes, lighter in color than most people, like glass beads."

"Beep—"

The loudspeaker suddenly blared.

Shen Mingchao was startled and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Black Bear pretended to be calm and made up a lie without batting an eye: "There's a dog on the sidewalk."

"Really? Where?" Shen Mingchao looked up and saw no dogs except for passersby.

When the light turned green, Hei Xiazi started the car. "Don't look anymore, the dog has already disappeared."

"Oh, okay." Shen Mingchao looked away.

The silence lasted only a moment before Black Bear couldn't hold back any longer and asked with a half-smile, "You weren't just lying to me, were you?"

Shen Mingchao looked completely bewildered.

"Why would I lie to you? Isn't that what you've been asking me?"

Yes, I insisted on asking it myself.

Black Bear opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't reveal the truth. His eyes were now very different from normal people's; a thick layer of fog covered them, and his pupils appeared grayish and eerie.

By normal standards of aesthetics, it wouldn't be considered beautiful.

His original intention was to prevent Shen Mingchao from accepting the offer, so he wanted to reveal it in advance.

The result was completely unexpected.

If Shen Mingchao is telling the truth, then it can only mean that Shen Mingchao is looking into the same eyes that were once his.

What is this?

Is this an advance notice of a reward?

It's rather unsettling to see the people who were just making a ruckus suddenly fall silent.

Shen Mingchao remembered something that he really had to say. He casually mentioned, in a casual conversation, the incident where he bumped into a stranger while chasing a cat.

"Appearing in the alley in the middle of the night, with tattoos on his neck, he's definitely not a good guy. Luckily, I ran fast!"

Black Bear laughed upon hearing this: "Then you really have bad luck, running into him."

"Hey, do you know him?"

I guess so.

After delivering Shen Mingchao to the land, Hei Xiazi went into hiding. He was an expert at tracking people, but he didn't expect Shen Mingchao to run into the Zhang family. He grinned and said, "That person has a close relationship with your idol."

Shen Mingchao didn't reply; she already knew what was going on.

Unexpectedly, she managed to bump into the Zhang family, who were usually elusive. With such luck, she decided to buy a lottery ticket as soon as she got off the bus.

-

The Zhang family headquarters in Hong Kong.

A man reclined on the sofa in the top-floor office, his eyebrows raised and his narrow eyes filled with interest.

After two days of observation, he realized he had discovered something interesting.

He calls himself the pressure cooker nozzle of the Zhang family, and when faced with gossip from acquaintances, he'll definitely go all out.

"Hai Ke, what happened to you? You seem to have lost your soul after that mission. You've barely spoken a word in the two days since you got back, but you've taken countless cold showers. Come on, tell me, which beauty has captivated you so much that you're completely out of your mind? Has even made this old tree want to bloom again?"

As the target of the joke, Zhang Haike had to snap out of his reverie and retorted with a gloomy expression, "As if you're not old?"

The man on the sofa waved his hand, grinning smugly, "Well, I haven't had any old trees blossoming either."

"..." My hands are itching; I want to hit someone.

Zhang Haike rolled his eyes, unwilling to deal with the man's behavior, and emphasized his tone.

"Zhang Haiyan, if you're really bored, I have plenty of things I can arrange for you to do."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Haiyan's smile vanished instantly. Just as he was about to say something, a soft male voice came from the side.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. He's the one who offended you, so you can let him go. I'm not going."

Zhang Qianjun opened his eyes from his meditation and extricated himself from the situation with a single sentence.

He used a wooden hairpin to straighten his loose hair, thinking that he couldn't let Zhang Haiyan ruin this hard-won vacation with just a few words.
