Chapter 268
Before five in the morning, while it was still dark, a “renovation crew” suddenly appeared inside the villa in Liancha Town.
The sound of a drill:
BZZZZZZZZZZZ—
The sound of smashing walls:
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The sound of digging:
Shhk! Shhk! Shhk!
And the sound of dismantling ventilation pipes:
BANG-BANG-CLANG-CLATTER! THUD-THUD-BANG!
In the monitoring room, Director Niu jumped three feet high from his chair.
“Are they insane?!”
Terrified that they would really tear down the villa, he hurriedly rallied several staff members to rush over.
But just as they stepped outside, a giant excavator rolled into the town.
Director Niu: “?”
And that wasn’t the end.
A group of college students led by Diao Mao came charging in, holding hammers, wrenches, and screwdrivers in hand—charging like bandits raiding a village.
Director Niu: “???”
Good god!!!
[HAHAHAHA I can’t take it anymore, this is pure madness]
[To outsiders it looks like a massacre, Director Niu underestimated these people’s potential]
[I’m laughing myself to death, and people still say this isn’t a chaotic variety show?]
The demolition inside the villa was still going on.
With her drill, Xie Mi was progressing the fastest—one window was almost dismantled. When she glanced back, she saw Yu Jinzhe standing obediently behind her.
Xie Mi: “?”
Yu Jinzhe blinked innocently with a smile: “?”
Xie Mi: “……”
She instantly understood—Yu Jinzhe was waiting to freeload off her efforts.
Clever little brat~
Of course, Xie Mi wasn’t about to allow that. She quit on the spot, set the drill down, and bolted upstairs.
[Eh? Why’d she stop drilling?]
[She must be worried Yu Jinzhe would freeload. Everyone else is working, but he’s just standing behind waiting for her to open the window. I wouldn’t do free labor for someone else either]
[So is Old Xie just giving up altogether?]
[…That doesn’t sound like her personality]
Sharp as he was, Yu Jinzhe understood she didn’t want him to steal her effort.
But he wasn’t worried—the window was already half-drilled, and the drill was right here. All he had to do was pick it up and continue…
His thoughts stopped short. He couldn’t even lift it.
Frowning slightly, he thought he’d underestimated the drill’s weight. He adjusted his stance, used both hands, strained with all his might—
The drill didn’t budge.
“?”
He refused to believe it, tried from every angle, pushed himself to the limit, and finally reached one conclusion—
Xie Mi’s strength was monstrous.
[HAHAHAHA did little brother Jinzhe just fail to lift it?]
[Wait, but didn’t Old Xie carry it so easily?]
[That girl’s built like an ox]
[No wonder she once sent four people flying at once [heart gesture]]
[Old Xie’s power has truly been underestimated]
With two minutes until five, Qiu Chengye stood proudly at the villa’s front gate.
“Keep fighting amongst yourselves. Anyway, the first slot is mine.”
With that, he turned leisurely toward the mission shop.
But suddenly, a thunderous shout rang through the sky—
“With a thunderous roar, your father makes his dazzling debut!”
Qiu Chengye looked up in horror.
From the rooftop of the villa, Xie Mi leapt with arms spread wide. The little backpack on her back instantly expanded—A huge parachute unfurled in midair!
[Is that a PARACHUTE?!]
[Wait no, seriously, what—huh??]
[Where the hell did the special forces come from?!]
On the second-floor balcony, Xu Shuangrong, who was carefully tying ropes, was scared pale by the sudden falling shadow.
BANG!
Xie Mi landed squarely on a pile of blankets.
Since the height wasn’t enough for the parachute to fully work, she had thrown the blankets downstairs beforehand to cushion her fall.
Qiu Chengye shrieked, then blinked and realized something was wrong.
“Wait—that’s my blanket!”
“Yes, yours.”
Xie Mi got up calmly and admitted, “Blankets, sheets, pillows, cushions—they’re all yours.”
Qiu Chengye let out a piercing screech.
But there was no time to dwell. With Xie Mi here, he felt threatened. He spun around and bolted toward the mission shop.
“Stop, thief!” Xie Mi charged after him.
Meanwhile, CRASH! A window was finally smashed open—Liu Woxing climbed out smoothly.
Xu Shuangrong slid down the balcony rope; the blankets Xie Mi had left on the ground worked as perfect padding for her too.
The excavator arrived just in time, roaring as it plowed the villa’s front gate open. Lai Bingxuan and Yu Jinzhe dashed out instantly.
Xiao Jingxi… got himself stuck in the hole he’d dug.
[Maybe I should just go to bed…]
[Am I watching a romance show or a sci-fi movie?]
[Now you understand why AI can’t replace humans]
When Director Niu and the staff finally arrived, this was the scene they found.
“Noooooo!!!!”
His heart-wrenching scream split the sky as he collapsed to his knees, clutching his head in despair.
The blasted-open gate.
The smashed windows.
The dismantled ventilation pipes.
The luxury blankets scattered across the ground.
Even bandits weren’t this ruthless!!
[Play tricks on the guests, and in the end, you get played too]
[Director Niu probably only guessed Old Xie would go crazy—never expected the whole group would lose it]
[Madness is contagious. Many people have wild ideas, but they don’t dare act. Once one person does it, the rest follow instantly]
[Hahaha so true—even Sister Liu lost it. The way she smashed the window with a wrench left me stunned]
[Wait, but where’s Mr. Shen? Where’s my big Mr. Shen?]
[Yeah, how come we haven’t seen him today? Still asleep?]
[He’s rich, maybe he didn’t plan on doing hidden missions at all?]
[But the villa’s practically demolished—how could anyone still be asleep? Something feels off, I’m checking his livestream!]
The group burst out of the villa and raced toward the mission shop, the scene descending into chaos.
Meanwhile, outside the mission shop—it was tranquil.
A tent stood quietly by the door. When the clock struck five, its zipper opened right on cue.
A slender hand lifted the flap. A man’s peach-blossom eyes curved with a lazy smile.
“Morning, Teacher Xie.”
At that very moment, Xie Mi had just tackled Qiu Chengye to the ground. Hearing this, she still found time to respond casually, not looking surprised at all.
“Morning!”
Viewers rushing over from the other livestream froze in shock.
[HUH????]
[Wait, Old Shen you—]
[I calculated every possibility, but not this one!]
[He set up a tent right at the mission shop door? If that’s not winning at the starting line, I don’t know what is]
[Turns out there was another hidden master]
