A five-story villa with blackened, mottled exterior walls, so ordinary it couldn't be more so, stands in the middle of the crowded city.
At this moment, on the top floor of the duplex, the decoration was extremely luxurious, with uniform mahogany floors and a white jade carving on the feature wall...
In the center of the large living room, various clothes were scattered haphazardly on a luxurious leather sofa. A set of jade cups sat on a mahogany coffee table. The bedroom door to the left was open, revealing a large mahogany carved bed in the center of the room. Opposite the bed, besides a set of mahogany cabinets, was a desk piled high with gold, silver, and jade stones…
On the bright windowsill to the left, there were several golden tortoises...
Su Mei, dressed in a red velvet suit, leaned lazily against the headboard, her brows furrowed. One hand reached out to the edge of the bed, revealing two thin, dark red welts on her wrist.
A thin, fair-skinned man wearing a gray turtleneck loungewear was sitting on a stool by the bed. He had long, narrow eyes with a deep gaze, wrinkles on his forehead, a pointed, slightly upturned chin, and curly blond hair.
At first glance, he appeared somewhat refined, but upon closer inspection, he was excessively thin and somewhat odd. At this moment, the man sat on the edge of the bed, head bowed, adjusting his silver-rimmed glasses perched on his nose; a dangling silver chain hung from either side of the glasses.
"That's strange. Judging from your wound, it doesn't seem to have been tainted by any evil spirits. But according to you, it's already unusual for a cat to appear in a graveyard. If it wasn't tainted by evil spirits, that would be even more incredible." The man's eyes behind his glasses emitted two strange beams of light. He held a strange magnifying glass in his hand, which was emitting a flowing red light, and was examining Su Mei's wound.
"Will my wound fester?" Su Mei asked worriedly.
"With me here, how could that be? Don't worry." The man sighed and put away the magnifying glass, the red light on the glass immediately disappearing.
“Yes, Brother Qianfo,” Su Mei said in a coquettish voice, shifting the blanket behind her as she turned slightly to look at the man. “I believe you.”
"My little darling, let's not talk about that now. Think carefully, is there anything else unusual?" The man's eyes sharpened, he sniffed his thin nose, turned around and placed the magnifying glass on the bedside table. He then sat on the edge of the bed, put his arm around Su Mei's shoulder, and the two leaned against the headboard together.
"Hmm, let me think about it some more." Su Mei frowned and stared at the ceiling. Finally, she blinked, sighed, and shook her head, saying, "I just feel that the cat's eyes don't look like a cat's, but more like a person's."
"Oh?" The man raised an eyebrow, looked up at the ceiling for a moment, then turned to face Su Mei. "Like human eyes? My little darling, I knew you were smart and quick-witted. This information is not bad. I think you should spend more time with your best friend from now on."
“Brother Qianfo, what do you mean…” Su Mei rubbed her head against the silk quilt, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the man in front of her. She vaguely sensed something.
“My little darling, wouldn’t it be more convenient for you to stay at her place from now on?” Qianfo said, a strange smile playing on his lips.
"You, you want to kick me out?" Su Mei was startled. She propped herself up with one hand and looked at the unassuming but mysterious man in front of her with surprise.
"Why do you think that? My little darling, let me finish what I have to say." Qianfo sighed, reaching out to pull Sumei into a deeper embrace. He then pinched Sumei's round nose with his other hand and smiled, "You're the apple of my eye, how could I possibly send you away? It's all for the future. If this succeeds, you'll not only live a long and healthy life with me, but you'll also enjoy endless riches..."
