7: Chapter 7 Did you take my things?

Yiyuan Residential Area.

This was precisely the place where Chen Aila had viewed an apartment yesterday.

As soon as Luo Wei got out of the car, he saw a young man standing at the complex entrance.

The other man was wearing a cheap suit, looking around left and right, clearly waiting for someone.

Luo Wei waved at him, "You're the real estate agent, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The man replied with a brilliant smile, quickly stepping forward to meet him.

"I'm Xiao Zhang. You must be Mr. Luo, right?"

Luo Wei nodded, "Let's go see the apartment."

The agent, Xiao Zhang, didn't dare to slack off and promptly led Luo Wei into the complex.

Along the way, he continuously praised the complex's amenities—schools, hospitals, shopping malls, parks, subway stations—it had everything you could need.

Admittedly, the location of this complex was indeed excellent. Even though it was built last century and the buildings looked quite dilapidated, the selling price still reached over twenty thousand per square meter!

Luo Wei listened to the agent's spiel and nodded along, offering no opinion of his own.

After all, his real purpose wasn't to buy an apartment.

Soon, the two of them walked up to the third floor of Building A.

Agent Xiao Zhang took out a key and opened a unit door.

"Mr. Luo, look, this apartment is very well-maintained. You could move in right away without any renovation..."

"Hmm, it looks decent," Luo Wei replied perfunctorily.

He went into each room and took a look around.

Then he turned to the agent.

"With these old apartments, the biggest worry is always whether the waterproofing was done properly!"

"Can I check the drop ceilings in the bathroom and kitchen?"

This was a perfectly reasonable request!

Agent Xiao Zhang nodded without hesitation!

He couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Generally speaking, when a client proactively inquires about specific details of an apartment...

It means the client is interested in the property. Looks like this deal might go through!

Luo Wei had no idea what Agent Xiao Zhang was thinking. He directly moved a chair into the kitchen.

The kitchen ceiling had an aluminum panel drop ceiling. Luo Wei stepped onto the chair and easily removed one of the aluminum panels.

Then, standing on tiptoe, he stuck his head into the ceiling space to search.

Quickly, in the dim recesses of the ceiling, he spotted a dust-covered express delivery box. The box was wrapped with layers of tape, clearly containing something inside!

Anyone who wasn't the owner, a normal client viewing the apartment, even if they discovered a box in the ceiling, wouldn't care about what was inside.

But Luo Wei wasn't a normal client. He had come specifically for that box!

Removing the aluminum panel next to the box, he reached his hand into the ceiling space.

He successfully touched the express box.

The express box felt somewhat heavy. Who knows what was inside.

One thing was certain: it definitely contained some good stuff!

After all, this was intelligence provided by the system!

Luo Wei didn't take the express box out. Instead, he silently thought to himself.

"Put the item into the inventory!"

Instantly, the express box located in the ceiling vanished into thin air!

Simultaneously, a crisp system notification sounded in his ear.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1 intelligence point]

Naturally, Agent Xiao Zhang didn't see this. He thought Luo Wei was seriously inspecting the ceiling's waterproofing.

Having successfully obtained what he wanted, Luo Wei wasn't in a hurry to leave. To put on a convincing act, he had to see it through. He carried the chair to check the bathroom ceiling.

Just then, a man with a shaved head and a ferocious scar on his face suddenly barged into the apartment!

The scarred man saw Luo Wei standing on a chair, dismantling the bathroom ceiling.

His face contorted, and he let out a furious roar!

"Who the hell are you people?"

"What the f*ck are you doing?"

That scarred man didn't look like a decent character at all. He might have just been released from prison!

Agent Xiao Zhang, terrified and trembling, pulled out his business card and handed it over, "I, I'm a real estate agent. I'm showing the apartment to a client..."

"Smack!" The scarred man slapped the card out of Xiao Zhang's hand. "Goddamn it! I just went to prison, I'm not dead! My lease isn't even up yet, and the landlord actually wants to sell the place!"

"Get the hell out, both of you! Get out now!"

Facing the scarred man's eviction, Luo Wei said nothing and turned to leave.

On the way downstairs, Agent Xiao Zhang kept apologizing. He truly hadn't expected something like this to happen.

Luo Wei didn't mind. He couldn't help but wonder: Could the stuff hidden in the kitchen ceiling have been stashed by that scarred man?

That's right, Luo Wei guessed correctly!

After chasing away the two viewers.

The scarred man immediately closed the door, then went into the kitchen, jumped onto the stove, and removed the aluminum panel ceiling.

Half a year ago, he had stolen some good stuff from a wealthy person's house.

He hadn't had time to fence it before he was arrested for getting into a fight.

The police probably hadn't searched his rented apartment.

After all, when he was in prison, the police hadn't interrogated him about the theft.

Scar Face had assumed the good stuff he hid in the kitchen ceiling would be safe and sound.

But to his utter shock, the ceiling space was completely empty! There was nothing there!

Instantly, he felt as if he'd been struck by a heavy blow!

On the other side.

Luo Wei and Agent Xiao Zhang had already reached the complex entrance.

Agent Xiao Zhang was still apologizing when a figure came rushing over in a frenzy!

"You two, stop right there!" Scar Face's expression was extremely dark. His eyes were bloodshot, filled with murderous rage!

With a grim face, he roared at Luo Wei, "You opened the kitchen ceiling earlier, didn't you?"

"Did you take my stuff?"

"What stuff?" Luo Wei pretended to look confused. "There was nothing in the ceiling?"

"You motherf*cker, won't tell the truth, huh?" Scar Face closed in, trying to grab Luo Wei by the collar.

Luo Wei's expression remained impassive as he slapped away Scar Face's outstretched hand!

Luo Wei's strength was immense, making Scar Face's hand ache terribly!

Scar Face pulled his hand back in fright, realizing Luo Wei might be a trained fighter.

He was forced to take a step back, but still argued furiously with Luo Wei, "Anyway, I lost something, and it was probably you who took it!"

Luo Wei spread his hands, "I was just there to view the apartment. I didn't take anything of yours. If you really lost something, I suggest you call the police!"

How could Scar Face possibly call the police? Reporting it would be like walking right into a trap!

He looked Luo Wei up and down. Luo Wei wasn't carrying a backpack and had nothing in his hands.

Luo Wei really didn't look like someone who had stolen his stuff.

At this moment, Scar Face fixed his menacing gaze on Agent Xiao Zhang!

"You're the one responsible for selling that apartment, right?"

"How many people have been to see that apartment?"

"Did anyone take anything from the kitchen ceiling?"

Faced with the interrogation, Agent Xiao Zhang shook his head in terror. Scar Face's expression grew even darker as he dragged Agent Xiao Zhang aside to question him further!

Luo Wei paid no mind to the situation. He left with a smile. Judging by Scar Face's furious and panicked state...

The stuff inside that black plastic bag must be extremely valuable...
