For several consecutive days, he had nothing to do.

Chen Yubo had not experienced the storm he had anticipated. After initially being threatened with a gun, the following days in the villa were incredibly serene; he spent his days feeding cats and basking in the sun, almost thinking he had been forgotten.

"It feels pretty relaxing."

Chen Yubo looked at the sunset outside the window and remarked gratefully, "Could it be that no one remembers me anymore?"

"Ah, yeah, yeah," Ji Jue nodded helplessly.

Golden Boy seemed like he wanted to say something but stopped himself, Ah Yi lowered his head pretending not to hear, and as for Xiao An... recently, Xiao An hadn't been playing games but had become addicted to reality shows, watching variety shows intensely, and carefully using Chen Yubo's premium account in front of the television.

Whenever a celebrity appeared, he would pause and turn to compare them with Ji Jue.

Something felt off.

Ji Jue scratched his head.

His look was getting weirder and weirder!

"Where's Old Tang?" Chen Yubo finally noticed something was amiss, "I haven't seen him much these days."

"Uh..."

Golden Boy stiffened for a moment, "Maybe he went out for a walk?"

"Right, right!"

Ah Yi nodded frantically, "He ate too much; he can't digest it."

Chen Yubo cluelessly asked, "Should we buy him some digestive tablets?"

"No need, no need," Golden Boy was getting into the act, "He said he's constipated; he just needs to go a few more times!"

Chen Yubo gasped.

He instinctively looked at Ji Jue.

Shocked.

You Chosen Ones are so weird!

For a moment, Ji Jue wanted to say something but then hesitated. The others could only pretend to be busy with their work, diverting their gaze to the gathering dusk and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

There's a saying that when you think the days are peaceful, someone is definitely bearing the burdens for you.

Where is it calm and peaceful?

The mess of harassment and attacks never really stopped!

The problem was that Chen Yubo was always easily startled and would scream at anything and everything, leading everyone to eventually stop informing him, letting him feed the cats and watch short videos—that alone was less bothersome.

As for the physical labor...

Ji Jue, always secretly crushing on his schoolmate, definitely wouldn't do it, and Xiao An, being disabled, naturally couldn't be running around.

Ah Yi and Golden Boy were indeed the most dedicated bodyguards, guarding Chen Yubo every step of the way, even standing by the restroom door leaving a crack and at night, they would sleep directly next to the cat's nest.

Thus, all the dirty and tiring work was left to the "newbie," Old Tang.

Who asked him to always boast about his competence? The capable ones do more work!

In the sweltering afternoon, the light at dusk began to appear.

In the dense woods near the hilltop, sounds of a shovel scraping against the soil continued, accompanying complaints and grumblings.

"Damn, it's decreasing!"

Old Tang was vigorously digging through the sandy soil, wiping the sweat from his forehead and sporadically complaining, "There was no option for digging in the contract, ah, gardening and funeral fees should be extra!"

Thud!

A heavy body was thrown into the pit, then slowly buried, turning into a mound of earth. Old Tang pulled out a handful of sand from his pocket, muttered a few words of a eulogy, and casually sprinkled it over the grave, performing a perfunctory Central Earth ritual for passing souls.

And in front of him, amidst the dense woods, mounds of earth stood erected, extending into the dimness.

"Finally done."

He sighed, dropped the shovel, and was about to leave when Ji Jue's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Old Tang, people are coming, about a dozen, including a Chosen One."

He said, "Please make another run."

Old Tang reacted furiously, "How many waves have there been, isn't it over yet? Do they think this place is a tourist spot?"

"We've hardly started," Ji Jue calmly responded, "Having only had one Chosen One show up by now is actually not bad."

"No way, why am I the only one doing this?" Old Tang glared, "Even contractors have tempers; keep pushing your contractors, and see if I quit!"

"Alright, alright, I'll go this time," Ji Jue conceded.

Old Tang nodded in satisfaction, "That's more like it."

"Anyway, you're still the one digging."

"That Ji you..."

Communication cut off.

Not far from the villa, at a crossroads, a rugged off-road vehicle convoy gradually came to a halt.

In the darkening dusk, a group of people wearing sunglasses and face masks gathered together, their exposed skin dark and filled with sun marks.

The leader raised binoculars, looking at the distant cliffs and the manor, and emitted a feeling of jealousy similar to what Ji Jue had expressed.

"Damn, living that well? Aren't they afraid of shortening their life?"

"How far have we gotten?"

A companion remarked in amazement: "Carrying such a large inheritance, living there is nothing; lying in the Governor's bed doing exercises with the Governor's Wife would be sufficient."

"Is that Chen... Chen Yubo really there?"

Zhong Naohai turned back, lowered his face mask, his rugged face revealing a trace of cunning: "Would Yu Mazi kindly let such a big opportunity slip by? Would he not do it himself? Surely after cozying up to Lei Yaoxing, he wouldn't just quit and turn over a new leaf, right?"

"He, he said he now wants to be... a client!" a severely stuttering tall, thin guy popped up to answer: "This, this, if this deal can be closed, it will be it it is money for us us!"

"Share the money?"

Zhong Naohai couldn't help but laugh, "I do the dirty work, I snatch the hostage, and I hand over the man to him, just so he can share the money with us? Am I supposed to beg now?"

"What do you mean, boss?" someone nearby brightened up.
