Chapter 284: Thief of Delicious Foods

The arrogant man looked at the lock to the back door carefully.

He took out a flashlight and turned it on after a sound of “Pa”. Then, the light shined right into the keyhole. After that, the man moved closer and started to observe the shape inside very carefully.

It was a long time…

After a light sound of turning over the clothes, the arrogant man took out a clip that looked like girls’ hair clip from the pocket. But it was only the shape that resembled the hair clip, as in the next second the man straightforwardly bent it into a shape of a key neatly.

“Aha. How deft my craftsmanship is!” While speaking of that, the man inserted the key-like clip into the keyhole.

After quite a while, he still didn’t hear any clear sound of the door being unlocked from the keyhole.

“Interesting.” Having taken out the clip, the man found that it didn’t transform at all, which made him a little surprised.

He then inserted the key-like clip into the keyhole again, but still, there wasn’t any reaction after a long while.

“So strange. Even if the door can’t be unlocked, the clip isn’t likely to keep its original shape.” Taking the intact clip in his hand, the man got a little puzzled.

“Ta Ta Ta”, he walked slowly around the door for a few circles.

“Is it a dummy lock?” He said suspiciously.

Meanwhile, he reached out his hand and prepared to twist the doorknob. After a sound of “Ka Ca”, the doorknob revolved as expected, but still, the door wasn’t opened.

“It’s truly a dummy lock. I have become more expectant now.” Instead of discouragement, the man revealed an expression of excitement on his face.

He was a thief, a thief of delicious foods. He liked stealing the tasty food ingredients most. As long as he was interested in any or had eaten any, he would inevitably go to steal it. Naturally, he took himself as an elegant thief.

In a martial arts novel of Gu Long, there was a role called Chu Liuxiang, who did very well in light feet and had successfully stolen numerous treasures. People called him the Fragrant Handsome Man. Nevertheless, he was a more tasteful person who stole only the rare, delicious and superb food ingredients.

Besides, it couldn’t be called ‘stealing’ as he had paid money for that. The money was just placed on the azure stone countertop where the cook Yuan Zhou processed the food ingredients and was definitely worth of the value of the precious food ingredients.

So he especially came to savor the dishes out of genuine admiration and then implemented the deeds of theft.

However, he came across a little problem now. Of course, it wasn’t a big problem for such an experienced man as him. He had even been to stars hotels for more than a few times.

“Since there’s no lock, let me change another way.” The man then took out a folded small shovel from the coat. The sharp end of the shovel gleamed the cold light.

“Up.” The man lifted up the big blue flagstone in front of the back door.

Of course, it wasn’t because he had infinite superhuman strength. He just made the preparations beforehand.

For example, he didn’t try to get into the room from the front door as the dog Broth was guarding there. It was more difficult to cope with a smart dog than an obedient stone.

The blue flagstone was put on one side lightly and then the soil appeared. Only then did the man smile contentedly. He put on the leather gloves, took the shovel and began to dig the soil. Of course, he did that quietly.

Despite such a big event at the back door, Yuan Zhou was right sleeping soundly on the second floor and was even dreaming. Crowds of beauties were not on his concern right now. It was Yuan Zhou’s current dream to unblock the system and become the master chef.

“It’s truly soft. It seems that I can get into the room very quickly.” The man had already noticed that the floor in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant wasn’t ceramic tiles, but the very simple blue flagstones, although they appeared to fit together perfectly.

But who was he? He was the thief of delicious foods that specially looked for the aperture and tried to get inside. As long as he could dig through the floor, he would have his target reached easily.

“Ding”. As he dug closer to the back door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and prepared to dig forward again, there suddenly passed a sound of collision.

“Crushed stones.” The man didn’t really care about it. With his hands in gloves, he reached them out into the hole and wanted to take the stones out.

The moment he reached out his hands, however, the man got slightly dumbfounded.

“What’s this?” After his hands reached into the hole, he found it was a flat surface inside and still remained the same no matter he moved upward or downward.

“What kind of stone can be so big?” The man was reluctant to believe in the heresy. He carefully excavated the soil around the hole.
