Li Lechen returned home around noon.
I glanced at the electric pressure cooker in the kitchen; the sweet potato porridge had been cooked and kept warm for a very long time. I was originally planning to eat it for breakfast, but now I can have it for lunch.
Hmm... If it weren't for the cooking thing, I might not have been able to trick that frog prince, oh no, green prince, into giving me a million-dollar reward.
If it weren't for this million-dollar reward...
Suddenly, I remembered that I had just received a hundred red envelopes before Wang Dazhuang called, and I hadn't had time to open them yet.
So I didn't even eat; I just wanted to open the red envelopes as soon as possible.
Returning to the main page of the live streaming platform and entering my personal page, the hundred red envelopes were still there. Suddenly, I felt a strong sense of anticipation again.
Yesterday, fourteen red envelopes yielded two treasures. Of course, the one that was eaten was ignored by Li Lechen.
As I said before, people can't really tell the difference between something that smells good and something that smells bad.
A hundred red envelopes now, wow...
Select to open all...
The system displayed a message: 【Sorry, your red envelope has expired】
What? !
What does "expired" mean?!
It can't be opened anymore?!
One hundred red envelopes earned from a million coins in tips, just like that, gone?!
Suddenly, I felt like I had won five million, but missed out on the prize because I didn't claim it in time.
My heart aches so much I can't breathe.
In reality, the losses may be even greater. Even disregarding the water that costs tens of thousands of dollars, that bottle of top-of-the-line luxury diamond repair essence would cost 50 million dollars today.
Unfortunately, despite the burglary, nothing was stolen from Wang Dazhuang's house, but he lost a whole hundred red envelopes just for watching the commotion.
This time, I couldn't eat anymore; I felt bloated.
...
Meanwhile, Li Lechen wasn't the only one feeling frustrated; the man in the baseball cap who had just robbed Wang Dazhuang's house, and his accomplices were also in a similar predicament.
"We searched everywhere, but didn't find any diamonds," the man in the baseball cap reported truthfully to his boss. "They might be somewhere else, or maybe that man has them on him. After all, yesterday Ah Cai found them on that man..."
"Which man?" the boss suddenly asked.
"That guy, the one who picked up the diamond," the man in the baseball cap replied earnestly.
"Which one?" the boss asked again, his expression serious.
The man in the baseball cap was dumbfounded. There had only been one man all along, so were there many men?
So he stammered, "It's that... tall, thin guy with black-rimmed glasses... man."
"What's your name?"
"......"
Suddenly, he fell silent. The man in the baseball cap genuinely didn't know the name of the tall, thin boy with black-rimmed glasses.
"You don't even know the other person's name, yet you claim to have investigated everything with me? You even searched their house? What did you find?!"
This was a question posed affirmatively, and obviously didn't require an answer from the man in the baseball cap. Moreover, he was now panicking; not only had he failed to gain anything, but he also seemed to have alerted the enemy.
If you offend the boss, you're likely to be pushed to take the blame. After all, people in the organization get arrested every now and then for carrying controlled knives, engaging in gang fights, or causing trouble, and someone always has to take the fall. If it's just taking the blame for that, it's not so bad; at most, you'll just go to jail. But if you're sent to transport drugs or something, once you're caught, it's basically a death sentence.
Fifty grams is easily achieved.
What I fear most is the sudden silence in the air.
A dozen seconds later, just as the man in the baseball cap was turning ashen-faced and his back was soaked with cold sweat, the boss said calmly, "Go find out who this guy is and whether he actually has the diamonds."
"Thump!"
The man in the baseball cap knelt down in admiration.
Since they let him go so easily, could he possibly cry out, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life?" Although that would be a bit of an exaggeration.
Previously, I was so eager to take credit that I completely forgot to know myself and my enemy. Now that I think about it carefully, the reason why a boss can become a boss is because he has a different perspective when it comes to the same thing.
This flattery comes from the heart.
Upon closer analysis, I realized that I only saw the boy come out of that house, but I couldn't be sure that it was his home. In fact, I didn't even know if he lived in this area or if he was just temporarily staying with relatives during the summer vacation.
It seems that the most urgent task at present is to fully understand this boy: his name, gender, age, address, school, hobbies, social circle, and sexual orientation.
Of course, all of the above is for one purpose: to find that bag of 'loose' diamonds worth fifty million.
...
...
After a dozen minutes of self-reflection and pep talk, Li Lechen felt that the expired red envelope issue could be viewed in a positive light.
After all, it's just expired, right? If it explodes when the time is up, the consequences will be serious.
However, the thought that everything in the future, whether it's food or other necessities, could explode at any moment made Li Lechen restless.
The main purpose of upgrading now is to open the mall and buy that Nine-Flavor Emperor Pill, regardless of whether it is related to the Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill. If taking it can really prevent the body from exploding at any time, upgrading is still the top priority.
However, Li Lechen did not regret tipping one million coins in the food streamer's live broadcast room and then taking the red envelope himself, because letting those viewers who treated life like dirt grab the red envelope always felt like aiding and abetting evil.
