Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

"Women want more than just money in their salaries."

Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes.

"Since you've called me a lewd little maid, then of course I have to do something lewd to make up for the mud you've thrown at me, right?"

Elsa licked her lips and gave a sinister smile.

Lu Chengzhou felt that this situation did not seem like the prelude to doing something good.

He subconsciously straightened up and widened the distance between them again.

Elsa snorted.

It seems there's a hint that some kind of conspiracy has been exposed.

"Alright, we'll talk about the salary later." Aisha immediately put on a serious expression and sat up straight. "Let's talk about that big problem, Shao Han, first."

"That guy Shao Han keeps nagging me to see you."

"Originally, I didn't think it mattered and didn't plan to listen to his news anymore."

"But last night around 3 a.m., he suddenly called me."

He said that his basement should not be touched.

Lu Chengzhou frowned upon hearing this.

Since the decision has been made to demolish and renovate the old street, the Shao family's basement will certainly not be spared.

Moreover, he had always been somewhat skeptical about what the successful premonition here truly meant.

Since I got involved in this project, I haven't found anything particularly profitable or profitable.

The Shao family's little villa, while worth some money, wasn't as valuable as he had imagined...

Most importantly, the system has not yet announced that he has intercepted the male protagonist's opportunity.

In other words, this opportunity has not yet fully fallen into his hands!

"What's in the basement?"

Up to now, Lu Chengzhou has not officially gone to check out that basement.

Hearing Shao Han say that, he became interested in that place again.

"I'm not quite sure what's inside."

Elsa took a sip of milk.

She wiped away the little bit under the corner of her mouth with an extremely alluring gesture.

"Or shall we go and see for ourselves?"

With the Meng sisters not present, he certainly couldn't bring Miss Meng along like he did last time.

However, looking at Elsa's fox-like behavior, he didn't want to take her with him.

"I'll go by myself."

Lu Chengzhou originally wanted to bring Miss Jiang along, since she was quite skilled with knives and they could look after each other.

However, considering the somewhat dangerous way they had been getting along recently, he had to abandon the idea.

"Oh, are you sure you can?"

Aisha stood up and walked towards him.

"What if there's a psychopath or some kind of killer locked up in the basement? Could you possibly escape unscathed?"

She draped her arm over his shoulder rather disrespectfully.

The swaying waves made me a little dizzy.

However, as Lu Chengzhou looked at her, he seemed to be reminded of his junior schoolmate's boldness last night...

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Elsa patted his cheek.

With a woman's keen intuition, she immediately grasped the truth.

"You're not looking at me while thinking about other women's figures, are you?"

Lu Chengzhou impatiently pushed away her disrespectful hand.

Without saying a word, he turned and left.

Having his thoughts read by others is something that makes him feel uncomfortable.

At the same time, there is also an inescapable sense of guilt.

Ironically, the more sinful something is, the more I miss it.

Human thought is incredibly complex.

……

into the night.

Lu Chengzhou came to the Shao family's small villa alone once again.

The project has been secured, but construction has not yet officially started.

The already gloomy little villa was now pitch black inside, and coupled with those terrifying rumors, it was truly chilling.

Lu Chengzhou took a deep breath, silently repeating "This is a materialistic world," and walked inside.

This time, the lights were able to turn on.

Under the warm orange light, you can vaguely see some dust particles floating in the air.

No one has lived here for a while, and the smell of medicine has been replaced by the smell of mold.

Lu Chengzhou arrived at the basement door with practiced ease.

The door, which had already been damaged once, could be opened easily this time.

From the outside, it should have looked like a messy basement, but inside it was surprisingly clean.

Several medicine boxes were placed next to the bed.

There are plush toys on the bedside table.

The blankets and quilts on the bed were new, but they had a strong medicinal smell.

"This should be where Shao Han is staying."

Lu Chengzhou looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on the bed.

He moved the bed without much effort.

There is a wooden door on the floor against the wall.

"This really does feel like a treasure hunt."

Lu Chengzhou opened the wooden door as well.

The dust that hit him made him cough.

However, when the dust settled, he witnessed a scene he would never forget.

Below, there were gold and silver treasures.

It's so golden, it's practically blinding!

At that moment, Lu Chengzhou vaguely remembered that Shao Yan possessed unparalleled thieving skills...

These things are probably all his "fruits of labor," right?

For a moment, Lu Chengzhou was both amused and exasperated.

"Stolen goods, you could say it was a stroke of luck!"

At that very moment, the system's voice rang out.

[You have successfully intercepted an opportunity from the male protagonist and gained the talent: Jewelry Appraisal.]

You will have considerable expertise in distinguishing genuine from fake valuable items such as jewelry and jade.

"Sigh, yet another talent that makes one rich."

Lu Chengzhou thought dejectedly, "I really didn't want to be the richest man..."

Why can't we give him some even more powerful and cool talents?

For example, taking off from the spot or something?

402. The mischievous little maid and the master's guilt

"Anyway, let's take these things back first and then make plans later."

Lu Chengzhou didn't have an excessively strong sense of justice.

Since no one knows about these things, he probably intends to keep them for himself.

Instead of selling them, keeping them for your own enjoyment or as decorative items is also a good option.

Of course, if the owner comes looking for the lost item, that's a different story.

"Well, tonight's adventure was definitely worth it."

Lu Chengzhou picked up one of the large pigeon blood rubies.

As soon as he got his hands on the item, he felt a flood of related information flash through his mind.

The information includes details about who the gemstone previously belonged to and how many people it passed through.

Clearly, the talent for jewelry appraisal is also a divine skill.

Lu Chengzhou then put down the ruby ​​and picked up several other items, examining them one by one.

Suddenly, he frowned.

The necklace in my hand, its former owner was none other than Meng Jingting, Sister Meng?

This……
