"The speed is much faster, and there is more power..."

Zhao Rong's eyes darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Because before that, he had seen the fight between Kung Fu Fly and the bearded man.

The speed and strength just now were only comparable to the level of a second-level warrior.

However, now, his ability has increased to be comparable to that of a third-level warrior!

Zhao Rong was quite surprised by the speed of improvement.

Lin Hao had actually already noticed Zhao Rong's arrival.

Although he was somewhat sensitive about exposing his own strength, he didn't care.

This is a good opportunity to collect the monthly salary that I deserve.

"Butler, since you are here, let's talk about the accounts."

Lin Hao said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhao Rong was slightly surprised.

This kid's perception is quite strong.

"How did you find me?"

Zhao Rong chuckled and asked curiously.

"Footsteps."

Lin Hao said calmly: "Although I can't see it, everyone's footsteps are slightly different."

This statement was reasonable and did not make Zhao Rong doubt it.

"You have a good hearing ability. Remembering people by their footsteps is indeed a good method."

Zhao Rong exclaimed in admiration, then walked in with a smile.

"Butler!"

When Chen Si saw Zhao Rong walking in, he came to his senses and bowed in awe.

Zhao Rong ignored him and kept his eyes on Lin Hao and the Kung Fu fly lying on his shoulder.

As for the wolf spider, it has been hiding in the pocket and is difficult to observe.

However, after seeing what happened to Qin Chi, the second steward, and others at the bathhouse last night, as well as the poisoning incident that the bearded man had just encountered, Zhao Rong was already very aware of the terrifying abilities of wolf spiders.

"This guy said that it's been too long, and I can't find the account for the half-year salary I haven't received at the Zhao Mansion yet."

Lin Hao turned to Zhao Rong and asked, "How do you think we should deal with this?"

Zhao Rong is in charge of the Zhao family's finances, so it feels more useful to talk to him directly.

"Can't find the account?"

Hearing this, Zhao Rong's face suddenly darkened.

He looked at Chen Si, frowned and asked, "Every entry and exit of the finance department's accounts are recorded, how can you not find it?!"

“Well…I…”

Faced with the butler's questioning, Chen Si's heart trembled slightly and he was unable to utter a word.

"Bring out the account books of the family members immediately. I want to take a look at them myself!"

Zhao Rong had obviously guessed something and shouted in a deep voice.

With the prestige he had accumulated over the years, Chen Si dared not neglect Zhao Rong's order at this moment, and hurriedly took out a thick account book from the bookshelf.

As he looked through it, Zhao Rong quickly found Lin Hao's accounts for the past six months.

The information recorded above is actually collected every month!

Buzz——!

The Kung Fu fly flew around and also conveyed the information on the account book to Lin Hao's mind.

"Xiao Si, you must give me a reasonable explanation today!"

Zhao Rong's face suddenly turned gloomy. He stared at Chen Si and scolded him harshly, "What on earth is going on?"

"Do I need to explain? Of course, he embezzled my money privately."

Lin Hao said lightly, then pulled a chair and sat down, ready to see how Zhao Rong would solve it.

"I……"

Seeing that his embezzlement was exposed, Chen Si became panicked and his hands could not help but tremble.

If it were in the past, he might have refused to admit it, or even slandered Lin Hao by saying that he had already received the money and was just here to defraud money.

However, now, Lin Hao is not only a magician, but also has the shock from Kung Fu Xiaoying just now, so how could he dare to talk nonsense.

"Butler, I shouldn't be obsessed with money."

At that moment, Chen Si knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with a sad face: "Please give me another chance. I will never dare to do it again next time."

After confirming that it was true, Zhao Rong was immediately furious and shouted, "Return the thirty thousand taels immediately, or I will cut off your hands!"

Hearing this, Chen Si was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly took out three gold bills from his pocket.

He was very clear about Zhao Rong's methods and always clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments.

If he fails to pay back the thirty thousand taels that he embezzled from Lin Hao, his end will definitely be miserable.

"Don't ever set foot in the Zhao Mansion again. Get lost!"

Zhao Rong said coldly.

“Yes, yes…”

Chen Siru was pardoned and immediately ran out of the finance office in a hurry.

After cleaning up the mess, Zhao Rong turned his gaze to Lin Hao who had been watching the show next to him.

"Please don't spread what happened today. I can double your half-year salary as compensation."

Zhao Rong forced a smile on his face.

Over the years, under his management, the accounts of the finance department have been in good order and no mistakes have ever occurred.

However, if the news of Chen Si's embezzlement were to get out, it would undoubtedly leave a huge flaw in his almost perfect career.

Hearing this, Lin Hao raised his eyebrows.

This old man seems to value his reputation very much.

Such a good opportunity cannot be missed.

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Okay, but I want ten times as much."

What?!

When Lin Hao opened his mouth, he asked for ten times the amount.

Zhao Rong almost jumped up.

You know, ten times the half-year salary is three hundred thousand taels!

Apart from the 30,000, he would obviously have to pay the rest out of his own pocket.

"Impossible, five times at most!"

A look of ashen color emerged on Zhao Rong's face, and he spoke in a decisive tone.

"make a deal."

Lin Hao immediately agreed.

The reason for asking for ten times the price was just to leave room for bargaining later.

Five times the compensation is equivalent to 150,000 taels.

All in all, it is already very considerable.

Afterwards, Zhao Rong handed the 150,000 taels of gold notes to Lin Hao with a broken heart.

"Thank you."

Lin Hao grinned, then turned and left.

"You lose more than you gain by stealing a chicken."

Zhao Rong sighed inwardly. In order to protect his reputation, he had to pay the compensation out of his own pocket.

Originally, under the instructions of the patriarch, he was just observing Lin Hao secretly.

Although he did get a lot of information, he was also severely outclassed by Lin Hao, and he felt that it was not worth it.

Just like that, Lin Hao took a handful of gold bills, walked out of the North Courtyard area, and went straight to the black shop.

Fifteen thousand taels were used up after evolving animals once or twice, and it was simply not enough to satisfy Lin Hao's strong ambition.

What he lacks most now is money, and time is running out.

Because, two months later would be the day when Zhao Linger would issue him a "letter of divorce".

It is necessary to accumulate enough capital in advance at that time!

On the way to the black shop, Lin Hao turned into a clothing store.

When he came out again, Lin Hao was already wearing a huge black cloak that completely concealed his figure.

Then I went to the nearby equipment store, bought a metal mask, and put it on my face.

With this attire, as long as he doesn't make any sound, even his biological parents would find it difficult to recognize him.

Of course, Lin Hao couldn't pretend to be mute.

He moved his throat slightly, found an acceptable tone, and then finalized the voice as 'Jing Ke'.
