"Oh no! There's a piece of steak missing!"
The maid followed Zhou Keming into the kitchen, and then boldly glanced at the counter. She immediately noticed that a piece of the steak she had cooked was missing.
"I said it was a petty thief." Hearing the maid's words, Zhou Keming breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't have to worry that the maid would be too scared to guard the house anymore. Whatever the reason, he needed to define the nature of the matter first. As for the rest, he would investigate further. In case he was wrong... Zhou Keming felt that the possibility of being wrong was extremely small.
He was an atheist who believed that everything had a reason, and that incomprehension stemmed from ignorance. He argued that things shouldn't be attributed to gods or ghosts without any real reason.
The maid felt a little more at ease, but couldn't help but wonder, "But... what kind of petty thief would only steal a steak and not touch anything else?"
Gu Shaoyong was the fourth master of the Gu family, and the Gu family was one of the most prominent families in the capital. Even before he started his own company, Gu Shaoyong was never short of money. Even though he insisted on marrying the person he loved against the will of the head of the Gu family, and was deliberately suppressed by the head of the Gu family, it was only political suppression and did not affect his expenses.
Moreover, the Zhou family is extremely wealthy, and they only have one daughter, Zhou Huiyu. Her dowry is also very substantial. Not to mention the stocks and bonds of the Zhou family's company, the figures in their bank savings accounts alone would make many wealthy families gasp in astonishment.
Therefore, the Gu family was not short of money, and even in their secret mansion, the furnishings were exquisite.
In other words, it's very valuable.
Even if it's just something from the kitchen, you can take it out and sell it as secondhand goods and make a lot of money.
So... if he were really a thief, he wouldn't just steal one steak, right?
"He might be a little beggar from the city, so hungry that all he can see is food..." Zhou Keming said.
As she spoke, she walked to the counter and noticed drag marks on the plate where pieces of meat had been pulled. She said, “Take a look at these marks. I think it must have been the little beggar. He was probably too scared to come in, so he used fishing line and hooks to pull the steak out from outside. After all, our kitchen has some lights, so it’s bright, almost like daytime.”
The maid was now indecisive and hoped to "brainwash" herself so she wouldn't be so afraid.
after all……
Just like Manager Zhou said, she still has to cook, so she can't possibly not come to the kitchen. Therefore, she should just calm herself down.
Therefore, upon hearing Zhou Keming's words, the maid forced herself to remain calm and walked to the plate. After seeing the drag marks on the meat, she chimed in, "No wonder... It's much easier to use a fishhook to hook steak than other things in the kitchen..." She paused, then said to Steward Zhou with a flattering tone, "Steward Zhou, you are very observant. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been scared out of my wits."
Thinking this, the maid felt relieved that Zhou Keming was there. However… because Zhou Keming rarely came by, and when he did, he left quickly, she was still a little worried that he would leave soon. After thinking for a moment, she tentatively said, “Manager Zhou, there’s only one steak left. Shall I make you something else to eat? Once it’s ready, you can eat, and I’ll prepare a room for you?”
