Zeng Bojian, a former reconnaissance soldier, is as light as a swallow and as agile as a cheetah.
He quickly climbed the wall outside the villa and, in less than three minutes, stood steadily on the balcony of the second floor.
Immediately afterwards, he reached for his waist and instantly pulled out an extremely sharp dagger.
As if guided by his will, the dagger twirled nimbly in his hand before accurately piercing the crack in the tightly closed window.
With a crisp "click," the window was easily opened.
Without hesitation, Zeng Bojian performed a graceful somersault and dashed into the villa like a bolt of lightning.
As he stepped into the villa's hall, a faint smell of renovation materials wafted over him, clearly indicating that the villa had only recently been renovated.
He looked around sharply and found that the entire villa was unusually empty and desolate, with not a single piece of furniture placed there.
After careful observation, he determined that there were three rooms in total. So, he strode over to each room in turn, reached out and gently turned the handle, and the door opened with a click.
However, to everyone's disappointment, every room was empty, with nothing inside.
And so, Zeng Bojian walked all the way to the door of the last room. Just as he was about to open the door as before, he was surprised to find that the door was locked.
However, this small difficulty was no challenge for the experienced scout Zeng Bojian. He calmly took out a thin wire from his pocket and skillfully bent it into a specific shape.
Then, he carefully inserted the wire into the keyhole, listening intently to the subtle sounds coming from inside the lock cylinder.
With his years of accumulated lock-picking skills and keen intuition, he fiddled with it for a few moments, and with another soft "click," the lock was finally pried open.
He carefully reached out and gently pushed open the door. With a soft creak, the door slowly opened a crack.
When he peered through the crack in the door, a wave of shock washed over him, causing his eyes to widen and his mouth to gape as if he could fit an egg inside.
The room contained a huge wooden shelf, on which were displayed a dazzling array of rare antiques and calligraphy and paintings.
The small bronze artifacts exude an ancient and mysterious aura, as if carrying the weight of a thousand years of history; the exquisite blue and white porcelain pieces are like works of art, with delicate brushstrokes outlining beautiful patterns; the deep green jade is warm and smooth, radiating a captivating luster.
In addition, there are numerous calligraphy and paintings of different styles hanging or laid out on the shelves, each of which is priceless.
However, it's not just these precious antiques and paintings that are surprising.
In the corner of the room, there was a dozen or so large cardboard boxes piled up, neatly stacked into a small mountain. Next to them were seven or eight suitcases of different colors and sizes.
Looking to the side, several black suitcases lay quietly on the ground, including the three black leather suitcases that he had just seen Xiao Qiang and his companion carrying.
These items took up almost half of the room, making the originally spacious area feel cramped; it was practically a treasure trove.
Filled with intense curiosity, he walked with slightly trembling steps toward the boxes. He randomly picked a few and then gently lifted the lids.
In an instant, a bright red color came into view—it was filled with stacks of brand-new hundred-yuan bills! His heart skipped a beat, and his breathing became rapid.
Although it was just a quick glance, based on his years of experience, he could guess without checking each box that they all contained cash, and roughly estimated that the cash amounted to at least tens of millions.
With such enormous wealth laid bare before his eyes, he felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his throat, and an overwhelming surge of excitement welled up within him.
At the same time, a bold and dangerous thought involuntarily popped into his head: how wonderful it would be to keep this money for himself!
The idea, like a devil's temptation, kept swirling in his mind, causing his fingers to unconsciously reach for the banknotes.
However, just as he was about to touch the banknotes, a sliver of remaining rationality suddenly pulled him back.
He knew full well that this behavior violated the law and was a serious crime. Once he took this step, he would face endless regret and severe legal sanctions.
So he took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, slowly closed the lid of the box, and forced himself to turn around and leave the tempting room.
Nowadays, boss Chen Ze is quite generous, giving him a generous salary of up to tens of thousands of yuan every year.
Moreover, the rewards he received when he was sent abroad on business trips were astonishing, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan. Faced with such generous treatment and compensation, he felt extremely satisfied.
After all, it was not easy for him to have such a job, even though he was over forty. Fortunately, despite the passage of time, he remained witty and calm and successfully restrained his inner impulses.
At that moment, his gaze inadvertently swept to the corner of the room, where he saw a huge safe, almost as tall as a person.
Zeng Bojian walked forward curiously and examined it closely. After some observation, he discovered that it was actually an extremely high-end safe, with exquisite craftsmanship and complex design, which was clearly beyond his capabilities.
