Chapter 107: Being targeted
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Seeing a weird smile on the corner of Du Chen's mouth, he couldn't help but stop and ask.
"A guest has come!" Du Chen's hand pressed on the double-reed double-buckle lock on the main entrance of the attic - the lock structure of the Doushen World was still at the level of the Middle Ages in his previous life, and in Du Chen's eyes, the double-reed lock like a child's toy was already the highest level of lock on the market. There is no comparison with the Hallows Lock, and the difference between the two is at least a few hundred years of technology - which is why no one in this world can open the Hallows Lock!
Others may not care, but Du Chen easily found two shallow scratches on the inner spring of the double buckle, which is the trace of someone prying through this door!
Harry won't pick the lock, and Du Chen will never pick the lock of his own house.
Isn't this a thief who has been here, what else can it be? And in terms of level, the lockpicking skills of this world should still be a good "master"!
Du Chen glanced back at the two tents not far from the door, the old gambler and the old god stick were not there, but at this time it was nightfall, and there were many student couples strolling under the weeping willows by the Sheung Shui River.
After carefully checking the subtle clues on the lock, Du Chen said with a smile: "The lock that two people work together to pry open, there are many students outside, they can't go to the main gate, and it is impossible for them to fly in from the sky in broad daylight, it must be from the next door over the wall into the yard! Phew, the technology is so poor, this kind of toy needs two people to cooperate to pry open, it's just not in the stream!"
While speaking, Du Chen opened the lock and checked the door. "Strange thing!"
Although the deboning was strong, he didn't know anything about theft, he looked at the scenes that didn't seem to be anything abnormal, and asked, "Young Master, have you lost something?"
"It's strange that I didn't lose anything!" a lotus flower appeared in Du Chen's hand, "There are only dozens of gold coins in cash in the bedroom, and there are a lot of Beibei's jewelry toys, but there is nothing missing, if these two thieves are not trying to make money! Then the things that can still make people blush on my body are only Philip's inheritance! It's a pity that the 'guests' are disappointed, they don't know that I have hidden all the good things in the lotus holy vessel!"
"Hmph! These two little thieves are clever and think that I can't see that there are 'guests' coming!, but they don't think about it, but they reveal their fundamental intentions!" Du Chen sneered: "If they leave more clues and take away the property, maybe I think that someone will borrow a few gold coins to spend money after seeing me get a lot of wealth." Can ...... now Huh!"
Bone Scrap nodded with a cold face, "They are here for what Philip left behind! But Philip's laboratory was destroyed in a fire, and the only person who knows that Young Master you have obtained Philip's inheritance is the Holy Sect!"
"There is another possibility, some of the 'guests' know that Bei Bei is from Philip's Laboratory, and they can figure it out from the fact that I adopted Bei Bei, and I got Philip's inheritance!"
"If that's the case, then it's a bit of a trouble! Philip's alchemy laboratory is top secret, and it must not be easy to know who Miss Bei is from there!"
Du Chen nodded slightly, "Someone is eyeing us because of Philip's legacy!"
He gritted his teeth secretly, this time it was really a great luck in misfortune, if he was not a thief ancestor, and he really couldn't find out that there were 'guests' coming, then it would be impossible to think that someone or the organization was eyeing him!
It is still necessary to hide strength, just like this time, if the opponent knows that he is the ancestor of the thief, he will never come up with this method, and then he will not be able to discover the opponent.
After pondering for a moment, Du Chen said, "How long will it take you to recover your strength?"
"You can recover sixty percent of your combat power in a month, but to return to your heyday, you need to be locked up for three months, just like skinning!"
It's been too long!But the current deboning really doesn't work, and he must be given enough time to regain his strength!
Du Chen frowned and said, "As soon as possible, there is a cellar under the dormitory, which is very quiet and suitable for healing......! Louis was there too!"
Three months, as long as you spend three months safely, you will be by your side when the skin and bones are peeled, plus Roland, the named master, what are you afraid of!?
After peeling and leaving, Du Chen came to the courtyard and looked left and right, the 'guest' should have come from next door, and his two neighbors were Jason from dormitory 19 and Annie from dormitory 17!
Of course, this Anne is no longer Helen, in fact there is indeed a student of Anne, but she was controlled by Helen with the so-called Spiritualism and stayed in the cellar for a long time, until Helen left, the hapless Anne came out of the cellar with a blank memory, and also ended up with a reputation of 'amnesia'.
There could be no problem with Anne, or she wouldn't have fallen into Helen's hands. So, it's just Jason?
Du Chen walked up to the balcony on the second floor and glanced at the Jason dormitory next door, which was brightly lit and full of people, and the sociable Jason must be holding some kind of class reunion again.
Du Chen's mind flashed Jason's information, the youngest son of the patriarch of the wealthy Gaia family in the mainland, Rudolph Divine Ancestor, is obese, and his strength is only in the early stage of the second-level demon fighter, and he is a small member of the Supervision Department in the student union, and he also belongs to his subordinate as the leader of the group!
He is very opportunistic and good at drilling, but he has real skills - he is proficient in more than 10 different languages!
But what can be the problem with such a student who grabs a lot of money in the Fighting God Academy?
However, various clues and analyses have shown that the 'guests' did come from Jason's yard. Then, whether the 'guests' are with Jason, or they are using Jason's yard without it, they must be familiar with Jason!
"Jason, hehe, I'm going to see you first!"
Du Chen came to the door of dormitory No. 19 and knocked on the knocker.
"Oh, it's Team Leader Francis, please, please!" Jason greeted him cordially, and was overjoyed when he saw that it was Du Chen, "Dear friends, Team Leader Francis is here!"
"Could it be Francis from the Ministry of Supervision? Oh, the God of Fighting is on top!" The students who participated in the sorority all came out, and more than a dozen people, both men and women, all greeted each other with smiling faces, at least they looked very cordial -- Du Chen had the title of the head of the Supervision Department, and he held the power of their ratings!
Jason clapped his hands and said, "Team Leader Francis speaks the lingua franca of Einz, and everyone who knows this language speaks Einz language, and I will translate if I don't know it!"
"No, how can this be! Recently, I have also been studying languages, and I have basically mastered the three lingua franca of the three continents!" Du Chen secretly laughed at Jason who was still so good at 'being a man', and then secretly paid attention to the situation in the courtyard.
Jason's yard and Du Chen's yard are the same style, square, more than 100 square meters, with a flower bed in the middle, and flowers and trees on all sides...... It's commonplace, but!
When Du Chen paid special attention to the wall near his dormitory, he suddenly found that under the weeds and shrubs, there were a few very uncommon and very common sea blue grass blades - the kind of sea blue grass that can interfere with the smell of snow than people!
These blades of grass were scattered messily in the grass, and if it weren't for Du Chen's thief's eyes, and the fact that he had paid special attention to this kind of thing that could interfere with the smell of the snow people in the port of Antwerp, he really couldn't find it at this moment.
It should be true, those 'guests' knew that they had a snow man in their home, so they brought sea blue grass with them when they 'visited'. And after the 'visit', when they returned to Jason's yard, they changed their thief's gear here and swaggered out of Jason's yard.
These few sea blue grass leaves should have fallen inadvertently when they changed their equipment. Or maybe they swept into the weeds while cleaning up the site!
Du Chen pretended not to see it and walked into the attic, just like an ordinary student who came to a party, "Jason, we've been neighbors for a few months, and this is the first time I've come to your dormitory, I'm really sorry!"
"Where, it should be me going to visit the team leader, you are!" Jason said with a smile while beckoning the students to enjoy their own wines: "Team leader, you came here this time, ......"
Du Chen had already thought of his rhetoric and said with a smile: "This ...... Actually, I'm here to ask you to do something, I have just recently obtained a large fortune, although I don't know how to operate, but I also know that money is used to make money, and I can't keep it in my hands and suffocate to death! But I don't know much about business, and my two brothers are not as good as me, so I think of you, the son of the Gaia family, the coachman of the Great Triangle Route!"
"Hey, that's what happened, it's easy to say!Team leader, I don't dare to boast about anything else, but when it comes to doing business, all of us in the Gaia family are good hands!" Jason immediately turned into a shrewd businessman, squinted his eyes, took out a small notebook and quill, and asked while taking notes: "Team leader, what business do you want to do?"
"Do you have any comments?"
Jason is embarrassed, Francis really doesn't understand business experience, how can he let his collaborators give advice when he opens his mouth? He is a good man in business, but Francis is his team leader after all, and he still does business honestly and doesn't cheat him. "If I say, the recent earthquake and flood in Einz is a good opportunity, the reconstruction work after the catastrophe will definitely lead to the development of the building materials and transportation industry, and you are the god of Sigru, the Lord of Lanning, and you have an advantage in terms of connections that other merchants can't match......"
Soon, Jason drew up a business plan with a trade volume of 500 gold coins, and Du Chen was stunned for a moment, this kid really has some ability!
"That's it for my plan, since we are working together for the first time, the trade volume can only be set at this much, but I believe that we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future! So, you can read my plan first, and how about we finalize the details tomorrow?"
Du Chen took the plan and asked as if inadvertently: "Okay, I'll take a closer look tonight, by the way, have you seen my adopted little daughter? That girl is cute!" It looks like a father who shows off his lovely daughter.
"Not yet, but I've heard about it, and I'm going to get some presents to visit the little one!" Jason's expression didn't show anything unusual.
Okay, enough for today, so as not to startle the snake, let's play slowly in the future!
Du Chen communicated with the other students for a while before returning to his dormitory.
Harry had already returned, and was waiting in the living room on the first floor, tidying up the house while little Bebe was asleep on the sofa.
"Harry, did you notice anything strange today, for example, someone was wandering around my dormitory, or asking you about me and Beibei?" Du Chen asked.
Harry was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said: "When I was shopping with Miss just now, there were indeed a few people who asked about Miss's origin, but they were all vendors on the street, and they saw that Miss was cute, so they asked casually." This is a very normal thing...... Someone's coming, I'm going to open the door!"
Who can come to themselves at such a late hour?
Du Chen went out with Harry, the door opened, and outside was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a very ordinary aristocratic robe, purple hair and white face, and a short beard on his upper lip, looking like a very ordinary little nobleman. However, there is a majestic murderous aura in his dark red eyes, which reminds people of a heroic man who has been in battle for a long time!
"You're Francis?"
