The male assistant was very efficient. In less than half an hour, the two finalized the plan and then arranged for people to carry out the construction and purchase the necessary items. He didn't mention the money that the older sister had transferred earlier at all.

Since that was the case, Hongtang assumed the deal was done. She and Ha Ge prepared to leave, but saw Butler Li from the nine villas across the street drive away. Suddenly, she remembered Officer Chen's visit that day.

Is it possible that Tang Li was harmed by him? Or is there some secret between them?

Driven by curiosity, Hongtang walked towards Building 9.

The interior decoration work on the nine villas is nearing completion.

The only people present were furniture movers and cleaners. They were coming and going, and no one knew what the others did. Hongtang simply carried Ha Ge inside, and no one stopped her.

She used to frequently visit filming locations, and if she ran into acquaintances, it was perfectly acceptable to say she was just there to take a look.

"Brother Ha, you're too heavy! This must weigh three or four pounds." The kitten, less than three months old, felt heavy in my arms, and with the weather, it was like holding a small heater, warm and cozy.

Hongtang wanted to put HaGe into the space, but it refused. Thinking that there would be even worse weather in the future and HaGe would have to adapt, she released it.

The woman and her cat strolled around the nine villas, with Hongtang occasionally directing the workers to put things away, leading everyone to regard her as a supervisor.

Hongtang didn't take it seriously; she had only come to see if there was anything fishy going on. And sure enough, she had discovered it.

Ha Ge jumped out of Hong Tang's arms and dashed into the basement.

Hongtang frowned. "Brother Ha, don't run around." The basement wasn't large, only about 60 square meters. It was originally designed as a storage room, so there wasn't much to see.

After glancing around and making sure no one was paying attention to her, Hongtang went into the basement.

Sure enough, the basement was only filled with some cardboard boxes, cleaning supplies and other miscellaneous items, as well as some construction materials, which looked like they hadn't been tidied up yet.

After searching around, I finally found Ha Ge; it was digging at a corner of the wall.

"Ha-ge, stop playing around, let's go upstairs quickly." Hongtang grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, trying to take it away. But Ha-ge broke free in an instant and continued to dig with its two paws.

Brother Ha, "Meow~" Silly woman, there's something good inside, help me quickly.

Hongtang also noticed something was wrong. She knocked on the surrounding walls, but only from this spot did she hear a dull echo. It seemed there was a hidden space inside.

That's normal, everyone has secrets, especially a low-key tycoon like her. If it were her, she'd build a secret room too.

But what's unusual is that Brother Ha is actually interested in what's inside. Let's see what's inside.

Extending her mental energy, she quickly saw what was behind the wall.

It turns out there's a huge space behind this wall, at least 100 square meters. Hongtang is certain this space was dug out by the client without their permission, because it wasn't on the villa's design plans.

Shockingly, the contents inside included a pile of gold, a stack of medicines, a plethora of high-end cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and tea, as well as a safe and a medicine freezer. These items were piled high from floor to ceiling, leaving only a narrow passageway for one person to pass through.

Hongtang was very excited; she wanted all of these things!

Putting everything else aside, gold! She'd always dreamed of owning a mountain of gold, and now her dream has come true.

She lowered her voice, "Brother Ha, let's leave first, we'll come back for the stuff tonight." Brother Ha replied in a low voice, "Meow."

Ha Ge: Okay, then come again tonight, consider it exercise after dinner.

No, why wait until tonight? She can now retrieve things remotely, up to 10 meters away. Let's retrieve them now!

This time, Brother Ha has done a great job. I'll give him an extra chicken leg when I get home tonight!

Ha Ge: Give me two more!

In one minute, they packed up their things and quickly left with their cat.

Before leaving, Hongtang looked at the furniture in the villa with a hint of regret. She had carefully selected each piece, and every single one of them was precious to her. Unfortunately, there were people in the villa, so she couldn't make a big fuss. She only took some trash cans, cushions, carpets, decorations, and small kitchen utensils.

After leaving Villa 9, Hongtang originally intended to leave directly, but then she remembered that the butler, Mr. Li, drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and thought that there should be other nice cars in the underground garage, so she decided to go and take a look.

After putting Ha Ge into her spatial storage, she found a place to change into work clothes, put on a baseball cap and a mask, and with a bucket in her left hand and a mop in her right, Hong Tang reappeared in Villa 9.

"Excuse me, how do I get to the underground parking garage?" Hongtang asked as she approached a man in a shirt and trousers. She hadn't seen this man before. He must be someone in charge.

The man in the shirt looked impatient, sweat beading on his face. He waved his hand and said, "The underground parking garage doesn't need cleaning. Go to the basement and throw out all the broken cardboard boxes and stuff there."

Butler Li had told him to clean it up himself. But the basement was stuffy in this heat, and he was wearing such clothes; his clothes would be completely soaked by the time he finished. Luckily, a cleaning lady came by, and since Butler Li had already left, she wouldn't know who did it.

Hongtang: "......" I just went there.

"Butler Li instructed me to go to the underground parking garage. Should I clean there first before going to the basement?" Hongtang, who was in charge of dealing with the butler, suggested very sincerely.

Upon hearing that it was Butler Li who gave the order, the man in the shirt frowned. "Then come with me. It'll only take 10 minutes at most. Just mop up the entrance." Wasn't it said that people weren't allowed into the underground parking garage for the time being?

The man in the shirt took the card, activated the indoor elevator, and the two arrived at the underground parking garage. Seeing some footprints at the garage entrance, he said, "Hurry up and get ready; there's still the basement to go."

Hongtang: "Okay, right away." She wet the mop and started dragging it haphazardly across the floor.

The man in the shirt didn't let her into the garage, but through the glass door, Hongtang saw two large vehicles inside, and her eyes lit up immediately.

The smaller black car is the Knight XV, an ultra-luxury civilian bulletproof armored off-road vehicle capable of withstanding attacks from TNT bombs weighing less than 15 kg, making it a highly defensive mobile fortress. In addition to gasoline, it can also use high-purity alcohol as fuel.

The other car, a military green one, appeared to be at least 10 meters long. She only recognized the logo; it was a Nomadic brand, but she didn't know the specific model. Neither car had license plates, and they looked like new vehicles.

Hongtang recognized these two cars because she had seen a Hummer SUV at a rich second-generation's place and had been longing to drive it ever since. After researching online, she learned that there were even more powerful ones, and she remembered these two cars.

Next to the two vehicles was a large, round, orange barrel, easily taller than two people. Could it contain gasoline? Hmm.

No matter what it was, Hongtang was overjoyed; this time she'd succeeded. She was going to take both cars and that big barrel!

The man in the shirt leaned against the elevator door, smoking and looking somewhat agitated. "How much longer?" There was no air conditioning, the garage door was locked, and the air was stagnant; he was about to suffocate.

Hongtang gave a perfunctory reply, choking on the smoke, "Cough cough, almost there, just a minute." She also wanted to leave quickly; she hadn't gotten the things yet.

"Brother, what's that big barrel? Is it for storing gasoline for the cars inside?"

The man in the shirt stubbed out his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, and said coldly, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

"Yes, yes, I've never seen a plastic gasoline can before, I'm curious," Hongtang muttered softly.

"That's an escape pod. It's not only protected against earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis, but also against nuclear radiation. It's the latest product from our company. It's not some plastic container."

The man in the shirt scoffed, "He's really ignorant."
