These days, Aunt Huang is very depressed, not for any other reason than that the door locks in her house have to be changed almost every day.
All the doors, including the main entrance and the doors to the five rooms, have been replaced time and time again, with increasingly higher security and more expensive locks, but they can't withstand the destruction in our house.
That day, after seeing Lu Yuan break the door lock again in some unknown way, she couldn't help but beg him to stop causing trouble.
It's such a waste and too much trouble; she has to go see a locksmith every day.
Lu Yuan apologized sheepishly and made a promise.
After that, whenever he was home, Aunt Huang would keep an eye on him, afraid that he would pick the lock again.
Lu Yuan really wanted to tell him that he could rest assured, his experiment was enough, and he really wouldn't break the lock again.
With everything almost ready, Lu Yuan left without Si Bao when he went out again, instead handing the children over to Su Tingxiao and the others.
As usual, she first put on makeup, with short hair parted in the middle, small gold-rimmed glasses, and a baseball cap. Her most distinctive feature was the small tuft of hair below her nose.
During the day, he went to two banks, exchanged two gold bars for several thousand dollars, bought a few things he thought would suit his wife, then found a restaurant, ordered some food, and sat there eating while flipping through a financial magazine.
He didn't leave until it got dark and the restaurant closed, carrying a briefcase.
In New York at night, a faint smell of blood always permeates the dark streets. Lu Yuan touched his nose and the small tuft of hair below it to relieve the discomfort.
He muttered something under his breath, and the homeless men leaning against the wall playing with their knives heard him cursing filthily, saying that a magazine had made him forget the time.
The homeless men exchanged glances and smiled maliciously.
They followed him into a deserted alley.
Seven or eight homeless men smiled smugly at the man who was clutching his briefcase tightly to his chest.
"Hey buddy, give us the bag, or our little knives might not be able to see us."
Lu Yuan timidly handed over the bag, pleading, "Don't hurt me, I'll give you the bag right now."
The group took the bag, opened it, and saw the US dollars and two gold bars inside. They all laughed heartily.
It was indeed a fat sheep.
Seeing that they had gotten the goods, the group prepared to kill them to silence them.
Lu Yuan hurriedly begged for mercy, "Don't hurt me, I still have a lot of gold bars, I can give them all to you, just let me go."
Upon hearing that there were gold bars, the group discussed it briefly and decided to spare his life for now.
"Take us to get the gold bars."
Lu Yuan led the group around in circles, finally arriving at the entrance of a gold shop.
He pointed inside and said sheepishly, "The gold bars are inside."
The group glanced at the closed jewelry store and raised their hands to slap him.
"Fuck you, you dare to play us!"
Lu Yuan skillfully dodged, then hurriedly explained, covering his head, "No, I really do have a way to get the gold bars inside. The gold bars in my bag were stolen from inside, oh no, taken from inside."
Even though he tried his best to cover it up, the others had already learned from him that the gold bars were stolen.
That's interesting.
The homeless men stopped hitting him, exchanged glances, and then dragged him to a secluded corner.
"Hey buddy, tell me, how did you get it?"
Under duress from the men, Lu Yuan meekly began to recount how he stole the gold bars.
He seemed quite regretful after saying that.
"Sigh, it's just that I don't have enough manpower, so I can only take a few gold bars each time, but it's enough to make me happy for a while."
“If I had partners, I could have gotten more than just this many gold bars. If I had more people, I could have emptied out not only a gold shop, but also those banks without anyone noticing.”
The group exchanged glances again, each seeing the burning passion in the other's eyes.
How can you do that?
Lu Yuan proudly touched the tuft of hair under his nose, "I have an ancestral skill, which is to pick locks quickly. No matter what kind of lock it is, I can open it."
"real?"
"Of course! It's just a little inconvenient."
"What?"
"You can unlock it, but you can't bypass the alarm system."
I spent those few days breaking the door locks every day at home, experimenting with whether I could separate the locks from the doors using the available space.
He unlocked a new function for the space: as long as he puts his hand on the door lock and silently says "retract," the door lock will be retracted into the space, leaving only the door in place.
If your hand touches the door, it will lock the door in with it and into the space.
This is truly an essential skill for robbers and thieves.
After hearing his words, the group fell into deep thought.
Seeing that they didn't react for a while, Lu Yuan spoke up again at the right time.
“I do have a way to bypass the alarm system, but that would make our small-scale operations meaningless. If we do it well, we’ll be the richest people on Fortune Street.”
He spoke with such excitement that he stood up and raised his arms, as if he were about to become the richest person in the world.
Several homeless men scoffed, saying that it was good enough to make a fortune; how could one become the richest person by stealing and robbing?
Lu Yuan tried his best to prove that what he said was true.
"Don't disbelieve me. As long as you can gather enough people and find a way to go to the power company and sabotage the power supply system, the whole city can be without power for just one night. We can then empty all the banks and gold shops. Tell me, won't we be the richest people then?"
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, and slowly, flames of desire began to burn in their eyes, growing ever stronger.
