One second passed.
Five seconds passed.
One minute passed.
Zhou Chenggong stayed in position, but he still didn't hear the sound of glass breaking.
He couldn't help but furrow his brows.
"Um... Young Master Zhou!"
A small henchman tugged at his clothes and said timidly:
"Why don't you try scratching it harder again?"
Zhou Chenggong was a bit confused.
He picked up the flashlight to illuminate the area where he'd scratched before, and found that there wasn't a single mark left.
This.....
How is this possible?
He used every ounce of strength he had and fiercely scratched it a few more times.
Still, no mark was left.
Instead, his ring got scratched.
"Young Master Zhou, your diamond ring..."
The crowd looked at each other, doubting the authenticity of the diamond ring.
The wealthy second generation are very shrewd; they're not just fools wasting money.
When they play around with gold diggers, giving fake gifts is quite normal.
"Impossible! This diamond ring absolutely is real."
Zhou Chenggong's face turned ashen.
He had spent all his pocket money to buy it for his goddess, Chen Lingxue, in college.
Never giving it away, he kept it by his side.
He even had it verified by an expert; there's absolutely no way it could be fake.
"Let me try."
Someone in the group took off their gloves and removed the ring from their hand.
He was married, so of course, he had a wedding ring; even though the diamond was small, it was still a diamond!
He scratched at the glass fiercely, but like Zhou Chenggong, it left no mark.
Then two more people tried.
The result was the same.
One fake and two fakes could be understood, but surely not all the rings were made by the same company, right?
"Hahahahaha!"
At this moment, Wang Hao in front of the monitor couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.
"Damn it! What the hell is going on here?"
Zhou Chenggong still couldn't figure out where the problem was.
Diamonds breaking glass, isn't this common sense?
"Could it be glass made of AM-III material?"
A short guy in the team said uncertainly.
"What the heck is that?"
Wolf Claw Man indicated that he hadn't heard of this material, and even Zhou Chenggong looked bewildered.
"It's a new material made of carbon with a hardness 20 to 100 times that of commonly used bulletproof glass on the market, harder than diamonds!"
One sentence from the short guy plunged everyone's heart to rock bottom.
Is there really such an unreasonable material in this world?
"Hmm, not bad, not bad, didn't expect your team to have some talented people!"
Wang Hao clapped his hands, continuing to encourage:
"I think you guys should keep smashing, smash it hard, maybe you'll succeed?"
"Damn it!"
Wolf Claw Man was so angry his teeth itched.
Continuously smashing it would definitely break the glass.
But they didn't have that much energy to spare.
"If we can't break the glass, how about we smash the walls?"
One henchman suggested.
"No way!"
Wolf Claw Man decisively shook his head and explained in a deep voice:
"This is a high-end villa, the walls are thick and reinforced, and in such cold weather, our energy is already severely depleted. If we smash the walls, we might collapse from exhaustion before the walls are even broken down."
Zhou Chenggong used the flashlight to observe the villa.
"Let's go to the rooftop! There's a lock on the roof door that we can open."
"Lock, it's up to you."
Wolf Claw Man patted the short guy.
This guy is a thief, a third-generation locksmith, and picking locks is his specialty.
"There's no lock in this world that I can't pick, no door I can't open."
The short guy was brimming with confidence.
The group pulled ropes from their backpacks, tossed grappling hooks to secure them, and began climbing.
There was a thick layer of snow accumulated on the rooftop as well.
A few people needed to go up to help the short guy clear the snow.
So four people went up.
They were working hard to clear the snow.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chenggong continued chatting with Wang Hao:
"Wang Hao, I think we can cooperate. You have supplies, and I have channels. If we cooperate, this can definitely be a win-win situation for us both!
We're old classmates, there's no need for this to get so tense, don't you think? Didn't we have drinks together before?"
He was still a bit worried.
It takes time to break in this way.
He worried that if Wang Hao was pushed into a corner, he might destroy the villa or even set it on fire.
If that happens, everything could go up in smoke.
Especially those drugs inside, they're so easy to destroy.
Those drugs are money!
So he wanted to keep Wang Hao calm for now, and once they get into the villa and control him, they can do whatever they want.
"I think so too, after all, we're old classmates! Didn't I help you pursue Chen Lingxue before? You even backed me for that batch of drugs."
Wang Hao expressed strong agreement.
Idiot!
Including Wolf Claw Man, everyone internally cursed.
With brains like this, if you don't die, who will?
"Haha, exactly, exactly, we're all good bros, and we'll earn money together. Don't worry, as long as I have a bite to eat, you won't starve either."
Zhou Chenggong was overjoyed, not expecting Wang Hao to be so stupid.
That guy really has something wrong with his head, he's insane!
He continued to draw a rosy picture for Wang Hao.
"That's great, we'll earn money together and go after girls together."
Wang Hao was quite happy too:
"By the way, I heard you're quite involved with Zhang Xiaoxiao now? She used to be my girlfriend, I guess that makes us brothers-in-law."
"You!"
My goodness, Zhou Chenggong was almost at the point of flipping out from that comment.
Isn't that just saying I picked up his leftovers, drank his foot-washing water?
He clenched his fists, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, and forced out a nightmarish smile:
"Haha, yes, yes, we're all one of us."
"Ah—"
At that moment, there was a blood-curdling scream from above.
Zhou Chenggong and the group were startled and looked up to see flames.
After a few seconds, everything calmed down.
By flashlight, they could see wisps of blue smoke rising.
"This....."
Zhou Chenggong and the others felt chills all over.
And Wang Hao's hand moved away from a lever.
His body was trembling slightly, and his face was pale.
Just now, he had killed four people!
These were four living people!
He hadn't even killed a chicken before.
To say he wasn't scared was a lie.
He'd become a murderer.
"Phew—"
He picked up the ice-cold Coke on the table, drank it in big gulps, and then let out a long breath, trying hard to calm himself down.
Yet his heart still raced rapidly.
"It's not my fault, if I didn't kill them, they surely would have killed me. Apocalypse! You can't afford to be soft-hearted."
Wang Hao did deep breathing exercises while performing self-hypnosis:
"Wang Yu! I am Wang Yu, I am Wang Yu, I am that emotionless, cold-hearted villain!"
In his villa, he had set up many defensive mechanisms.
If it weren't for the snow covering, Zhou Chenggong and the others probably wouldn't have even entered the courtyard.
The rooftop of the villa, he certainly wouldn't forget.
He had laid a high-voltage electric board on it.
One switch and they'd all be electrocuted.
