"Director Tang, why do you smell so bad?"
The first person to arrive at Tang Xiaohu's door was a worker named Lu Lin who lived on the fifteenth floor. After learning that Tang Xiaohu could arrange a job for him in the regulatory bureau, he wanted to save some effort, so he brought half of his family's food to Tang Xiaohu's house. However, when he opened the door, he smelled Tang Xiaohu's odor and couldn't help but frown.
"I just finished using the restroom, is there a problem?"
Tang Xiaohu's face didn't look very good either, but food was more important right now.
Upon hearing Tang Xiaohu's words, Lu Lin finally understood. He then handed the bag of food in his hand to Tang Xiaohu, chuckling as he spoke.
"Director Tang, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
Tang Xiaohu patted his chest confidently.
"Don't worry, as a bureau chief, I can't possibly arrange a job for you, can I? Go back now, I'll arrange a job for you when I get back."
Lu Lin then turned and left, but as he was leaving, he happened to run into the next household. When he saw them, Lu Lin's face was full of pride. "Look, I'm the first one. Director Tang will definitely remember me."
The other party didn't think much of it, since Tang Xiaohu could arrange work for them anyway, and quickly delivered the food to Tang Xiaohu. In just half an hour, Tang Xiaohu received no less than ten bags of food.
"Haha, this should last for a long time now."
Tang Xiaohu laughed loudly when he saw the food in the living room, saying that this amount was enough to feed his family for two months.
As for spoilage, in such cold weather, the cold air is the best cold storage.
"Honey, you're amazing."
When Zhao Xiaohua came to the living room and saw so much food, she couldn't help but get excited. Now their meals would be much better.
"No, look who your husband is."
Tang Xiaohu was naturally very happy to be praised by his wife. He then tried to hug Zhao Xiaohua, but she dodged away in disgust.
"Wait until the stench on you disappears before you hug me. I really can't stand it."
Zhao Xiaohua said with a look of disgust on her face. Tang Xiaohu could only scratch his head helplessly, but he didn't say anything. After all, he loved Zhao Xiaohua deeply and had never cheated on her even after many years of marriage.
Upstairs, Xiao Chen had already noticed this scene, but he did not intervene. Although Tang Xiaohu's family received a lot of food, they also attracted a lot of attention.
"If I remember correctly, a week later, their family was robbed by a gang leader who stole almost half of their food, and the other half seemed to have been divided up by the remaining neighbors."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said he didn't take it too seriously. After casually making salt-baked prawns, he posted a bunch of photos on his WeChat Moments before enjoying his delicious meal.
Of course, Xiao Chen also posted the photo in the homeowners' group chat to attract their anger and make himself happy.
Little did he know that Xiao Chen had already attracted the attention of some people.
"Hmm? This person is actually quite wealthy? He has caught the attention of the heir of the Thieves' Guild."
On the thirteenth floor, a man was seen exercising naked despite the sub-zero temperatures. He put on his clothes and looked at his phone after finishing his workout.
The photo above was of the salt-baked shrimp that Xiao Chen had posted, and he was immediately tempted.
As heirs of a thief's clan, stealing is their specialty.
He is the thirteenth generation successor of the Thieves' Guild, codenamed Thief of Heaven.
His proudest achievement was stealing a diamond necklace worth 30 million yuan from the Hangzhou Museum in full view of the public. Even now, the police have no way to catch him because they don't know he did it.
Although he was rich, he didn't have much food; his refrigerator was almost empty. So, after Xiao Chen posted his photo, Dao Tian was quickly tempted.
If I could kill the other party, wouldn't I be able to leave this cold winter and enter a warm space?
With this in mind, Daotian quickly decided to take action.
At the same time, Xiao Chen finished his cultivation. He saw that a pile of low-grade spirit stones next to him had turned into waste, which he then cleaned up with his spiritual power.
It was two o'clock in the morning. A normal person would probably be asleep by now, but Xiao Chen was just about to go to sleep when he heard a faint sound coming from his front door.
Ordinary people probably wouldn't care too much, but Xiao Chen is a cultivator.
"Someone's come looking for death?"
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, slowly stood up, and went to his front door to wait. He planned to give the other person a surprise after they opened the door.
Meanwhile, outside Xiao Chen's door, Dao Tian had already begun to arrive under the cover of night. Upon seeing the entrance to Xiao Chen's house, Dao Tian couldn't help but sigh.
"My goodness, it's actually Security Gate 17 on the American side!"
The number seventeen refers to the fact that it ranks among the top seventeen in the United States. This shows how secure Xiao Chen's house is.
"It's not certain that anyone else could break through it, but it's a pity. I've even opened the second security door."
Dao Tian shook his head and broke through, then lowered his head to break open Xiao Chen's door. Xiao Chen's door used a rotary keypad lock. Dao Tian put his ear to the lock and slowly started turning the keypad.
The secret has nine digits, meaning there are nine to the power of nine possible digits. But Dao Tian doesn't play those tricks. As a successor of the Thieves' Sect, Dao Tian's hearing is terrifying. Under Dao Tian's hearing, he quickly figured out the correct passwords one by one.
"However, if we open this door, the commotion will probably be quite significant, so let's kill the homeowner inside."
Before opening the gate, Daotian muttered to himself, "Under these circumstances, Daotian will not share his resources with others, so it's better to kill Xiao Chen."
At the same time, Xiao Chen, who was behind the door, also heard Dao Tian's words. His face immediately turned extremely ugly. Xiao Chen, who had originally planned to just break Dao Tian's hands and feet and throw him into the snow, immediately changed his mind. He wanted to kill Dao Tian!
Just as Dao Tian excitedly opened the door, he saw Xiao Chen, who had been waiting for a long time behind the door.
