After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"Pooh!"

The man spat forcefully at the bodyguard on the ground, then bent down and dragged the unconscious bodyguard into a nearby grove of trees to hide him.

After coming out, he looked up and around and found a hidden surveillance camera in the upper right corner of the villa gate.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around and went back into the grove. When he came out again, he had a heavy stone in his hand.

He stood under the camera, adjusted the angle slightly, and then, without hesitation, swung a rock at the camera above his head.

"Snapped!"

The hard rock hit the camera lens squarely, causing the camera to shake twice before falling to the ground in a sorry state.

The man stepped forward, stomped on the camera several times to make sure it was broken, and then kicked the pile of wreckage away.

He then took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Pei Xingzhi.

—Brother Pei, it's all sorted out, you can come over now.

Pei Xingzhi: OK.

"Let's go." Lin Jiahe put on her baseball cap and started walking out.

"Wait a minute!" Pei Xingzhi reached out and grabbed him. "Don't rush out. Let's walk in the grove and come out when we reach the entrance of the manor."

"Oh." Lin Jiahe nodded.

"Let's get started." Pei Xingzhi put on the hood of his windbreaker and set off first.

Lin Jiahe, Xie Mingyi, and the remaining brothers followed closely behind him.

The group carefully made their way through the woods, and when they reached the entrance of the villa, they quickly slipped inside.

They kept Chai Rui's advice in mind and hid in the roadside greenery after entering the villa, walking with their backs bent the whole time.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, they arrived at the lawn behind the villa.

Several rows of tall camphor trees were planted along the edge of the lawn. Pei Xingzhi and the others split up and hid behind the camphor trees, intently observing the situation inside the villa.

"Get out of my way! Mind your own business!"

Xie Zhaoyuan's voice came from the second floor of the villa again.

Pei Xingzhi's brow furrowed, and his hands, which were resting on his knees, instantly clenched into fists.

"Ah Yuan..." he called out softly, cautiously yet impatiently.

But Xie Zhaoyuan, who was inside the villa, turned around the next second.

"Hmm?" She looked at the wall behind her in confusion, frowning slightly. "Why do I feel like someone is calling me?"

"Xiao Song, where are you taking this bottle of cooking oil?" Aunt Bai asked, exasperated.

"None of your business!" Xie Zhaoyuan turned around and glared at her, rolling her eyes speechlessly. "I can do whatever I want. You're just a cleaning and cooking maid, why are you interfering in my affairs?"

Aunt Bai: "I'm not trying to interfere in your affairs, I'm just worried that you might misuse this oil and accidentally hurt yourself."

"...These cooking oils are only good for cooking, they're completely useless. I must be out of my mind to have gotten hurt like this!" Xie Zhaoyuan glared at her, picked up the two buckets of cooking oil, and turned to leave.

"Xiao Song!" Aunt Bai caught up with Xie Zhaoyuan, following her like a persistent ghost. "Xiao Song, you can take these cooking oils, but you have to tell me what you're going to use them for."

"Tell Aunt Bai what you need them for, and she can help you, right?"

"...You want to help me?" Xie Zhaoyuan stopped and turned to look at her.

She nodded repeatedly: "Of course I want to! Before Mr. Qin left, he specifically told me to take good care of you. If you need any help, Aunt Bai will definitely help you!"

"Okay!" Xie Zhaoyuan agreed for the first time ever.

"Since you want to help, then I'll let you. But first, you have to let me take these cooking oils to my room and put them away."

“…Okay.” Aunt Bai agreed hesitantly.

"Then you wait for me here." Xie Zhaoyuan smiled at her, then turned and went into the room with the cooking oil in her hand.

A moment later, she came out and, unusually gently, took Aunt Bai's arm: "Aunt Bai, let's go downstairs and talk."

"Let's go downstairs to talk?" Aunt Bai was a little confused, but she still followed Xie Zhaoyuan.

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Yes, because I need some more cooking oil, and I was going downstairs to get it anyway, so I thought I'd come down and tell you."

"Oh..." Aunt Bai was skeptical.

Xie Zhaoyuan dragged her downstairs, lured her into her own room, and then, taking advantage of her inattention, quietly stole the key from her bedside table.

"Xiao Song, did you really take the cooking oil upstairs just to play a game?" Aunt Bai was inexplicably skeptical after hearing Xie Zhaoyuan's nonsense.

“Yes.” Xie Zhaoyuan blinked, deliberately making an innocent expression. “This cooking oil game is very popular online recently. I’ve been craving it for days, and I finally found a chance to play it.”

"Cooking oil game..." Aunt Bai scratched her head blankly. "How do you play this game? I've never seen it on my phone before?"

“…Oh dear!” Xie Zhaoyuan glanced at her with a resentful look. “This is a couples’ interactive game that young people play. How could an old aunt like you possibly get it?”

"A couple's game for young people?" Aunt Bai's attention was drawn to these words. Her eyes widened in surprise as she stared at Xie Zhaoyuan in disbelief. "Xiao Song, you mean you want to play this couple's game with Mr. Qin?"

Xie Zhaoyuan lowered her head, looking somewhat shy: "Besides Mr. Qin, are there any other men in this villa who can play this game with me?"

The words were phrased tactfully, but Aunt Bai understood them immediately.

"Xiao Song, it's so good that you've come to this realization!" She excitedly grabbed Xie Zhaoyuan's hand, appearing even happier than Qin Wushuang. "Aunt Bai told you long ago that life is the same no matter who you live with! As long as a man treats you well and cherishes you, you can rest assured and stay with him! I guarantee you'll have a good life!"

"Hmm..." Xie Zhaoyuan squinted, her smile appearing forced.

Aunt Bai: "I'm relieved to see that you've come to your senses! Go upstairs and set up your little games. Mr. Qin should be back soon."

"Okay." Xie Zhaoyuan let go of her hand. "It's getting late, you should get some rest too. Leave things outside to me, you don't need to worry."

"Okay!" Aunt Bai sat on the edge of the bed and watched Xie Zhaoyuan leave.

Xie Zhaoyuan came out of her room, closed the door behind her, and then locked it from the inside with the key.

She was already in bed resting, so she didn't realize that Xie Zhaoyuan had locked her in the room.

Xie Zhao put the key in her pocket, then went to the kitchen to get two bottles of cooking oil, and slowly carried them upstairs.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard downstairs.

After inspecting all the equipment in the resort, Chai Rui realized there was no reason for him to stay any longer.

He was escorted to the entrance of the resort by two bodyguards, and just as he was about to leave, he heard them say:

"Hey? Where's Lao Su? Where did Lao Su go?"
