The beauty of a man is his ability to tell ridiculous lies in broad daylight, and the beauty of a woman is her ability to believe him without complaint.
When Hughes Leo entered the classroom, Li Xiaobai was still deep in concentration.
The Uffizi Gallery has gone to tremendous lengths to secure the world’s most expensive artwork this time! In addition to the major replacement of security equipment and cameras, an unknown security system has been added. The painting itself was locked in an unbreakable glass cage with three locks.
“The floor plan of the museum, the setting information of the security system, the key to the artificial lock, the code to the combination lock, as well as the key to the interactive biometric lock, that is, the fingerprints and iris of the two curators, are the things we have to get.” Bastard Rod is only serious when he tells others to do things, and his tone is always determined to get it, as if what he is talking about is not a heavenly mission that the FBI may not be able to accomplish, but rather to buy two potatoes after work……
“Due to risk considerations by the organizers, these things are kept separately by the current curator Carl de Vinson and the honorary curator Hughes Leo. The floor plan and the key are in the hands of Young Master Leo, and you will take care of them. As for the security of information and passwords… I will do it myself~ The time limit is three days; don’t let me down, Honey~”
Three days?……
If he approaches him as an ordinary person, it will be impossible to achieve close intimacy, correct?
Li Xiaobai was slightly depressed. Rod’s goal was just ordinary folks, and he remained hopeful. Why was he assigned to the underworld?
Because he couldn’t figure out what to do, even Rod had already taken action, but Li Xiaobai could only sit in the classroom in a daze…
The unexpected whispers and movements of people in the classroom, as if evil spirits were retreating, eventually drew the gloomy Xiaobai’s attention.
He looked up and saw that the man he described as “snake-like” had come in elegantly and right to his seat.
When two people’s eyes met, the entire classroom became silent, both inside and out…
Li Xiaobai sat in the same spot with his arms folded, silently watching Hughes Leo walk over with no expression.
Hughes stood in front of Li Xiaobai’s desk, unhurriedly pulled out a chair, sat down slowly, and peered at the gorgeous young guy in front of him, whose face was usually hidden under the brim of his hat, with a smile that wasn’t a smile. A row of towering men, most likely security personnel, immediately took possession of all crucial locations surrounding the two people.
Li Xiaobai took a short peek at the number of people on the opposite side before focusing his sight on the person in front of him.
Hughes Leo’s eyes are as thin and frigid as a vampire, and they are an inconceivable dark gray. The solid metallic feel gives people the impression that they will radiate a frigid glow in the dark… This is most likely the primary reason people assume this man resembles a snake.
“Mr. YinYing?” Hughes’ lips curled graciously, but his eyes were not smiling. “I hope my pronunciation is correct.”
Li Xiaobai paused for a moment, shook his head, and then continued to stare at him, guessing the other party’s intentions.
“Very well, then, let’s keep the story short.” Hughes raised his eyebrows and straightened the cuffs of his suit, “Let’s start with the conclusion first. The conclusion is: It’s useless; give up.”
Li Xiaobai’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but there was no expression on his face.
“Nice arrangement, I must admit, it’s very natural and conspicuous.” Hughes clapped his hands as if in admiration, “Starting from the intentional first meeting at the opening ceremony… Oh, let me guess, the seat in the back of my seat in that auditorium happened to be bought for money, right? And then what? ‘Knocking? Fixing my subordinates in the dining hall… Everyone in this school knows that they are my people, and even knowing this, they make a big fuss, saying it’s pointless and no one will believe it, right? There were many other times after that, in the hallways, the student union, the high-end restaurant I frequented… it seems that the frequency of meeting you is a little higher, which is very troublesome.”
“There are people who try to approach me by all sorts of means, and you’re not exactly very special, but I appreciate your skill and courage. So I will give you a piece of advice.” Hughes raised one finger and tapped the corner of his forehead, “I’ll never forget anyone I’ve met once. If you’re up to something bad, you’d better stop as soon as possible, otherwise I can chase you to the ends of the earth with this face in my mind!”
There are more people after me, Li Xiaobai thought; it’s not your turn yet.
Hughes appeared to be intrigued by the other party’s apathy. He relaxed his stiff manner, sat back slightly in his chair with a little haughty expression, and squinted at the young man in black in front of him, “Tell me, what is your purpose? Why did you deliberately approach me?”
Perhaps it was discovered.
But maybe it’s just the ideal opportunity.
Li Xiaobai smiled; the fugitive game was especially amusing.
“Why…” He slowly lifted his eyes, his dark eyes straight into the other person’s field of vision, with an ambiguous smile at the corner of his eyes, and his light-colored, thin lips pursed slightly. “It’s probably because… I like you.”
Rod, outside the crowd, spat out a mouthful of coffee!
The entire classroom shook in an instant, and languages from many countries were plainly audible at different frequencies within a three-meter radius of the person concerned…
Hughes, who was in the midst of the chaos, was stunned for a moment.

Hughes stared at the other person in silence for a while and finally laughed out loud, “I’m sorry, I’ve never lacked a bed companion. You’re not up to par yet.”
“Is that so…” Li Xiaobai nodded as if regretfully, then abruptly extended his hand to pull up Hughes’ tie and draw him in front of him!
The bodyguards instantly took out their guns and aimed them at the boy’s head!
“You’ll know after you try it.” Li Xiaobai said meaninglessly.
“You…” The latter half of Young Master Leo’s words were swallowed up in an unexpectedly fierce and deep kiss…
There was screaming all around!
This time, not only inside and outside the classroom, but also the hallway was crowded with people…
Li Xiaobai kept the kissing posture, holding the gun barrel against his head with one hand, and while removing the safety valve, he smashed the wrist bone of the bodyguard holding the gun like lightning! He snatched the revolver quickly and, while kissing Hughes, loaded it neatly with one hand before smoothly pressing his hand back against the bodyguard’s temple!
The tip of his tongue brushed against the other person’s palate and bit Young Master Leo’s lip roughly. Li Xiaobai relaxed his grip on the guy beneath him, gazing around the sturdy bodyguard with his head pushed against him and a cold sweat on his face. Hughes, whose lips were wet from kissing when he grabbed his tie and sneered, asked, “Is it exciting?”
There was a dead silence.
Outside the crowd, Rod kneels against the wall while holding a half-spewed cup of coffee…
“Honey, I want some excitement too~”
Rod’s blatant statements can be regarded as the worst consequence of the forced kiss incident. The rest are all positive results.
For example, he effectively joined Hughes Leo’s sphere of influence, becoming his bodyguard and lover.
Of course, this is probationary time for a bodyguard and lover.
Because, following the wet kiss, Young Master Leo took out a handkerchief, wiped his lips, and remarked, “Okay, let’s give it a try then.”
However, Rod considers this to be a significant accomplishment.
“You know, Hughes Leo is a straight guy, and I can’t believe you bent him with one kiss! Haha…”
Li Xiaobai was even more surprised than Rod, “Is he straight? Then Dylan…”
“A plaything~” Rod shrugged. “He only goes to women, and beautiful boys use various equipment to play. It’s just a game for wealthy people; it’s because he’s bored, not because he likes it.”
Li Xiaobai turned his face and quietly suppressed the disgust and killing intent that surged deep in his heart.
“Hmm~ The killing intent is so strong~” Rod turned to observe the young man lying next to him, “You hate this kind of thing? That’s weird; you don’t seem like such a moral person. Let me guess, you’ve had unpleasant experiences before?”
Li Xiaobai was taken aback for a moment before lowering his head and adjusting the telescope in his hand, “Have your eyes always been this poisonous?”
Rod laughed, “Occupational disease~”
“Aren’t you a thief?”
“It’s the big thief, the big thief.”
“Does the big thief need to be good at reading people? Aren’t your targets all dead objects?”
“Of course you have to be able to read people. Although the target is dead, there are many types of owners of the target: those who have money and deserve a beating, steal as they please; those who have money and don’t deserve a beating, steal in moderation; those who have no money and deserve a beating, scare the shit out of them; and the last one, those who have no money and are pitiful… Execute Rule No. 1.”
“What’s Rule No. 1?” Li Xiaobai asked, looking sideways at the person next to him.
“Don’t steal from the young or old.” The green-eyed big thief raised his sniper rifle and shot through the main water pipe on the top floor of the mansion across the street.
“Because they are pitiful?” Li Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.
“No,” Rod swiftly disassembled the rifle, “because they don’t have money.”
Li Xiaobai glanced at him quietly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The phone interception system between the two called suddenly…
Rod skillfully picked it up and said, “Hello? Kearns Water Conservancy System Main Control Room, how can I help you?”
“Is the water pipe broken? Is water starting to seep down from the top floor? I understand. I’ll transfer you to the maintenance service department. Please wait…”
“Kearns Water Conservancy System Maintenance Service Department, please explain the time and location of the problem and leave your contact address and customer code. Press the # key to end. The customer service staff will contact the plumber for you and arrive within half an hour. Please leave a message after the beep…”
Rod raised his gaze to Li Xiaobai and passed the microphone on.
The latter accepted the phone and hesitantly opened his mouth, “P–”
Rod was wearing the Kearns Water Conservancy Company’s cap and maintenance worker outfit, chewing gum in his mouth, a user survey under his arm, and a toolbox in his hand, with the impatient expression that all maintenance workers have. He swayed into the mansion of Carl de Vinson, director of the Uffizi Gallery.
“Where is the damn water pipe with the problem?”
He shouted rudely at the maid who came to open the door, and Rod climbed up the stairs three steps at a time, “God, you guys just won’t fucking let me sleep more on my day off, will you!? The water pipes in the East District are frozen and burst, and the conversion valve in the West District has fallen off… These lazy workers! They all have time to take a fucking nap. Can’t they find a way to fix it themselves?! Damn it…”
The little maid who came to open the door was obviously frightened by the grumpy repairman and could only chase after the other party and beg in a low voice, “Sir, sir… Um, please, please take off your shoes… Mr. Vincent will be angry when he sees the footprints on the carpet. I, I just came to work today, so I can’t make mistakes. Please, please cooperate…”
Rod paused and turned to look at the maid behind him, who was plain-looking, tall, and had scattered freckles on her face. “You just got here?”
“Yes Yes…”
Rod smiled, “Ah, no wonder you look unfamiliar. My voice has always been loud; didn’t it scare you?”
“No, not at all…”
Rod looked at the new maid, who was obviously still unnatural, and gave the other a friendly pat on the arm, “Hey, relax! You’re doing pretty well.”
“Really, truly?”
“Of course, I never lie~” Mr. Big Thief smiled sincerely. “So now take me to that damn broken pipe!”
“Ah, of course, please come this way.” The young maid hurriedly and attentively ran to the front to lead the way.
“Did you hear that, honey?” Rod asked with a chuckle towards the first button that contained the intercom.
“Yes, it’s very clear.” Li Xiaobai, who was hiding on the top floor of the building opposite the mansion, was debugging the monitor.
“What do you think?” While chatting, Rod looked through the wallet of the maid who had just arrived.
“You are a great swindler.” Li Xiaobai’s voice remained steady.
“Hey~ I’m not asking about such in-depth impressions~” Taking out the ID card from his wallet, Rod put the remaining things back in place, “All employees here have dedicated access cards, and this maid is responsible for cleaning. She should be able to go to Mr. Curator’s study.”
Li Xiaobai looked at the camera and said, “And she is a newcomer and has not yet become familiar with the former employees, so she is the most suitable candidate for disguise.”
“Bingo.” Rod kissed the photo on the ID card, “Miss Jenny, I’m counting on you~”
“But how did you get that card? Didn’t you steal it just now?”
“Indeed, it’s not in my pocket; maybe it’s kept close to the body.”
“Can’t you steal it from close to the skin?”
“Honey, women are very sensitive creatures~ especially there and there…”
“…so what do you plan to do?”
“Hehe~ Just wait and see! Next up is my magnificent acting show!”
Rod took a few quick steps to catch up with the maid Jenny, who had walked far away, calling out to her loudly while his left hand moved slightly and quickly across the back of her neck!
Jenny, who has a complete lack of perception, pulled open the door on the top rooftop and briskly walked inside, explaining the situation.
Rod, who was walking behind her, gently opened his palms and smiled at a delicate gold necklace in his palm.
“Miss, I picked this up in the hall just now; it must belong to someone in this house?” Rod raised the necklace he had just removed from Jenny’s neck. “It looks very valuable…”
“Ah! It’s my necklace!” The young maid touched her empty neck and rushed over to take it away, but was pushed away by Rod with a look of distrust.
“Isn’t it? How could it happen that a necklace picked up by such a coincidence belongs to you? Hey, you shouldn’t…” Rod frowned.
“No! It’s really mine! It’s true!” The maid shook her head desperately in defense. Even regular individuals fear being wronged, much less a novice who has just assumed the role. It is nearly lethal to question her characteristics.
Repairman Rod appeared to pause when confronted with the other party’s nervous defense, but he eventually added, rather hesitantly, “It’s useless to say; I’d better leave it to the owner of the house, Mr. Vincent.”
“But Mr. Vincent won’t be back until tomorrow…”
“Are you joking? How can I wait until tomorrow?” Rod was annoyed.
The maid pleaded in distress, “This… but that necklace is something very important to me. Can you please return it to me first?”
“How can I do that?! I don’t know whether it is yours or not. If you claim it as an imposter and the real owner shows up, I won’t be able to tell the truth!” Rod had a very unlucky and troublesome expression on his face.
The young maid became increasingly anxious, “This… this… that… how about this… I’ll give you my ID card. You can make a record or leave a copy. This way, I can claim the necklace with proof, and you don’t have to take responsibility. Moreover, if you have any problems or doubts in the future, you can come to me for confirmation.”
“Hmm… That’s fine.” Rod nodded, “What’s your name?”
“Jenny, Jenny Hain.” The young maid hastily rummaged through her wallet, “I’ll show you my ID card… Wait a moment… Huh? That’s odd… It’s obviously in my wallet… Wait a moment. I’ll look for it again… No, I must have forgotten it at home… That’s odd…”
Rod gradually showed an impatient expression, folding his arms suspiciously as he stood there looking at Jenny, who was sweating coldly from embarrassment and haste. “I said, Miss Jenny… forget it; I’ll take it back to the company, and when Mr. Vincent comes back, you can confirm with him.”
“Ah, please don’t leave! How can this be done? Mr. Vincent is so busy that he wouldn’t even accompany me to the company to claim the necklace. Even if he gets past the supervisor, it will take a long time…” Jenny was so anxious that she nearly cried.
“But you don’t have any proof to provide; what can I do? Otherwise… Do you currently have any documents other than your ID card? Passports and the like.”
“This… this…” Jenny thought anxiously for a moment, then suddenly realized and reached down and pulled a card out of her close-fitting undergarment, “That’s right, I have the identification card! Is this okay? Does it also have name, date of birth and photo?”
“Identification tag?” Rod frowned, “How does this work? It does not have a legal effect…”
“No, sir, you don’t know. The identification tags here are all custom-made. The barcodes on them are the same as the citizen IDs. You can check them by logging into the municipal computer. Don’t worry!” The young maid desperately, terrified that this tag would likewise be useless.
“This… Oh, okay, then I will send a fax to the company now.” Rod hesitantly accepted the card, raised his hand, and threw the necklace to Jenny.
The little maid held the necklace and breathed a lucky sigh of relief.
“Okay, dear Jenny, I’ll go over there to send the fax and fix the water pipes. Can you find a place with a table to fill out the maintenance service form, and then bring me a cup of coffee?”
“Of course! Of course!” Jenny hurriedly took the form, carefully stored the necklace she had recovered, and dashed out.
“Mmm~ It’s in the bra~ This little girl really has a personality… no wonder I can’t find it…” Rod stood alone on the rooftop, holding the card between his fingers and grinning at the corner of his mouth. “Honey, how was today’s show?”
“…” Li Xiaobai, who was monitoring from a distance, took a deep breath, “…awesome.”
