Gu Rongjie was taken aback.
“What do you mean what?
Hurry up and do as I say!”
Lin Baici noticed that the chief servant was not interested in Gu Rongjie’s body, but was assessing the quality of her clothing; his gaze drifted over the jewelry like necklaces and earrings she was wearing.
Considering the Eater God’s recent critique of the chief servant’s culinary choices, it was clear that he was a greedy person; thus, the answer was obvious.
This auntie happened to be a CEO of an entertainment company and, although not a billionaire, she certainly boasted tens of millions in assets.
As such, including her jewelry, everything she wore screamed luxury.
Thus, the chief servant had set his sights on her.
To snatch those valuable items.
Gu Rongjie hurriedly took off the Cartier necklace and earrings she was wearing.
“Hold them in both hands and present them to it!”
Lin Baici reminded her.
Hearing these words, the chief servant gave Lin Baici an appreciative smile.
This one was sensible.
If she weren’t so gorgeous, posing a significant threat to him, he would have entirely considered taking her as a servant.
Gu Rongjie was just too panicked, though she was not lacking in emotional intelligence.
Now, hearing Lin Baici’s words, she caught on instantly, especially when she saw the chief servant’s expression.
She offered not only the necklace and earrings but also took off her watch—a piece from Blancpain worth over a hundred thousand yuan—and held it out with both hands to the chief servant.
“Please accept these!”
The chief servant was satisfied.
His wide sleeves brushed over Gu Rongjie’s hands, and without any discernible action, the items in her hands had disappeared by the time his sleeves had passed.
The chief servant’s words were a reprieve for Gu Rongjie.
With a relaxed heart, her legs weakened, and she nearly fell to the ground.
“It really comes down to Lin Baici’s guidance!”
Gu Rongjie pondered how she could cling to Lin Baici’s ‘golden leg’ for support.
For now, it seemed that the bear lady and the steel woman were her biggest competitors.
As for Sister Zhou and her green tea bestie, they were hardly a concern.
If this were a palace drama, Gu Rongjie was confident she wouldn’t let them survive a single episode.
The chief servant called out again, and this time, it was Lv Yingxi.
Coming from a family of privilege, Lv Yingxi’s household was extremely wealthy.
The items she bought casually for everyday wear were all top-of-the-line.
That’s why the keen-eyed chief servant noticed her.
Without needing Lin Baici’s reminder, Lv Yingxi removed all her valuables and presented them to the chief servant.
The chief servant praised her, then waved his hand for her to step back.
His gaze then swept through the crowd, settling on Du Xin.
Du Xin loved to dress up and adored luxury brands, often wearing large earrings and bracelets.
Even the handbag she carried was top brand, obviously too expensive for ordinary people to afford.
Now targeted by the chief servant, Du Xin freaked out, her whole body tensing as she quickly tried to explain.
They’re actually not worth anything!”
As Du Xin said this, she took off all her jewelry, including her handbag, and held them out to the chief servant with both hands. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novèlfire.net
In this moment, her heart bled.
That Chanel bag was real, and to afford it, she was still paying off her credit card.
The chief servant’s right hand swept over Du Xin’s offerings, making them disappear without a trace.
But he didn’t allow Du Xin to leave, instead turning his attention to her feet.
“Damn it, not even my shoes are spared?”
Du Xin was furious, but dared not complain.
She quickly took off her shoes.
The shoes on her feet were Valentino heels with crystal decorations that looked like diamonds, and that’s why the chief servant had targeted them.
The chief servant wasn’t satisfied and frowned, sensing that this woman still hid something valuable.
“I really don’t have anything left!”
Du Xin cried, the only thing remaining on her being a bodycon skirt.
The chief servant huffed and kicked Du Xin in her abdomen.
“Get out of my sight!”
The chief servant rebuked.
He had the utmost disdain for these poor wretches who couldn’t be squeezed for a drop of oil.
Clutching her stomach, Du Xin quickly moved aside and then she saw the chief servant standing next to Lin Baici.
Everyone else looked on as well.
Hua Yue Yu showed concern.
Little Bai had too many good things; if the chief servant took them away, it would be a huge loss.
Xia Hongyao gave Lin Baici a look, signaling that if Little Linzi started a fight, she would go all out to support him.
Lin Baici was prepared for this.
He took off the Rolex nicknamed ‘Green Ghost’ from his left wrist and offered it to the chief servant.
The chief servant didn’t accept it but looked at the backpack Lin Baici was carrying.
“What’s in that bag?”
The chief servant was like a greedy pixiu, unwilling to let go of any slice of meat he saw.
“Some food, paper and pen, an umbrella, tissues.”
Lin Baici listed the contents, took off his backpack, unzipped it, and dumped its contents carelessly on the ground, as if everything inside was worthless.
The chief servant glanced inside, his attention landing on the Black Tripod Bowl, observing it closely.
“Damn, it still targeted me!”
Lin Baici’s biggest fear was coming to pass.
“Why do you have a monk’s bowl?”
The chief servant interrogated.
“I just left the monastic life not long ago.
Since I’m quite poor and sometimes have no food to eat, I carry a bowl to go from house to house begging.”
It didn’t matter that the Black Tripod Bowl contained all of Lin Baici’s trophies; even the bowl itself was a very practical ‘Taboo thing’.
If the chief servant took it, he would be devastated.
Lin Baici was very nervous inside, but he kept a straight face.
To strengthen the plausibility of his story and lessen the chief servant’s greed, he began to chant the ‘Heart Sutra’.
