Chapter 1333 Stealing Things?
Suddenly, two security guards walked over and blocked their way, saying in a deep voice, "Sir, please show your entry pass!"
"We need an entry pass to enter the villa?"
Chen Xuan frowned. He didn't remember any entry pass among the things Cao Gang had given him.
"Yes, sir. All residents of Sheng Gong Villa have identification. Only residents with an entry pass can enter. Of course, if the owner calls us, that's also acceptable."
The security guard said in a deep voice, his expression already displeased.
Because he could tell that Chen Xuan was not a resident of Sheng Gong Villa. If Chen Xuan were a resident, how could he not know about the entry pass?
At this point, Jiang Biyun and Old Master Su panicked and hurriedly asked, "Chen Xuan, you don't have an entry pass, do you?"
Chen Xuan truthfully replied, "I don't seem to have one, but let me look for it first."
He flipped through the redwood box that Cao Gang had given him. Inside, there was only a high-tech key, no entry pass.
Just then, a Mercedes G-wagon stopped not far away. The car window rolled down, and a man and a woman leaned out.
The man had dyed yellow hair and was chewing gum, while the woman was also dressed flamboyantly.
"Hello, Miss Cao!"
The security guard quickly greeted the woman with a fawning smile.
"What's going on, blocking the road?" Cao Lu frowned and asked.
"They claim to be residents of Sheng Gong Villa, but they don't have an entry pass."
"So they're poor trash from Jiangnan Province. They dare to come to Sheng Gong Villa? How laughable. Do you people even deserve to live in Sheng Gong Villa?"
Cao Lu glanced at Chen Xuan's license plate. This car was driven over from Jiangnan Province, and it had a Jiangnan Province license plate. She immediately said mockingly, her contempt evident in her eyes.
"Hurry up and get out of our way, or don't blame us for being rude!" The man was also trying to show off his authority by association.
This man was named Zhou Hao, Cao Lu's boyfriend. However, Zhou Hao had been living off Cao Lu, and this Mercedes G-wagon was a birthday gift from Cao Lu to Zhou Hao.
Hearing their words, Chen Xuan's brow twitched, and he was somewhat displeased.
Jiang Biyun and Old Master Su also looked displeased. They hadn't even entered Sheng Gong Villa yet and had been ridiculed. They couldn't help but feel some resentment.
"I'll have them move aside immediately."
The security guard scurried over to Chen Xuan and said with a cold voice, "Sir, please park your car to the side and don't obstruct our community's traffic!"
Chen Xuan admitted he was in the wrong and drove the car to the side.
"Pah, poor trash is poor trash, yet they pretend to be residents of Sheng Gong Villa. What a disgrace!"
"They're really shameless. I bet the Mercedes they're driving is rented just to save face."
Jeering voices came from inside the Mercedes G-wagon, and the engine roared as it drove straight into Sheng Gong Villa.
"Can this prove our identity?"
Chen Xuan took out Cao Gang's key.
The security guard was stunned. He looked at the key and couldn't help but examine it more closely. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and he snatched it over, saying, "How do you have a key to Sheng Gong Villa?"
"My friend gave it to me. Just tell me if I can go in now."
"I'll go and report this to the manager."
After speaking, the security guard turned and went to a few of his colleagues, instructing them, "I suspect they stole another resident's key. I'm going to the manager to verify. Keep an eye on them and don't let them run away."
"Don't worry, leave it to us."
The security guard turned and left.
Chen Xuan stared at the security guard's receding figure, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He then quietly took out his phone...
After the security guard left, the other security guards walked over. They were worried that Chen Xuan would escape, so they invited Chen Xuan and his companions into the security room.
"Have you finished checking? Can we go in now?"
A few minutes later, Jiang Biyun impatiently urged.
"Don't worry, it takes time to verify identity."
Under the circumstances, they could only continue to wait.
After waiting for another ten minutes, the door to the security room was pushed open, and a group of people walked in. Besides the security guard from earlier, there were three more people: a man in his thirties dressed in a suit, who was likely the security manager.
As for the other two, they were a middle-aged couple.
The woman was wearing a beige backless dress with a very low neckline, revealing a deep cleavage. The man was broad-shouldered and stout with a beer belly and a round face covered in many pockmarks, but his clothes were all custom-made high-end items.
They were none other than the couple Liu Chunlan and Zhao Guodong.
The group exuded an aggressive aura, with looks that clearly indicated ill intentions.
"Manager Tian!"
Upon seeing the man in the suit, the other security guards immediately greeted him.
"Where is the person?"
Manager Tian asked in a deep voice.
Before the security guard could explain, the security guard accompanying the man in the suit immediately pointed at Chen Xuan and said, "He brought the key!"
"The key from earlier was brought by you?"
Manager Tian sized up Chen Xuan and frowned.
"Indeed."
Chen Xuan nodded.
"Madam Liu, Mr. Zhao, it seems he has taken your key," Manager Tian said, looking at the Zhao Guodong and Liu Chunlan couple beside him.
"You scoundrel, you dare to steal our key and then try to steal our things? You damn bastard, I've already reported you to the authorities!"
Liu Chunlan rushed towards Chen Xuan and began to curse him loudly, "I'm telling you, kid, you have to compensate for all the things my family lost. Not a single penny less!"
"Stolen? What do you mean?"
Chen Xuan asked, confused.
"Kid, stop playing dumb! I'm telling you, we caught you red-handed. It's no use pretending with me!"
Liu Chunlan pointed at the villa key in Manager Tian's hand.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"I think you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. To be honest with you, three days ago, our villa key went missing, and then our villa was burglarized. Very important items were lost, and we've been looking for the thief. I never expected you, a thief, to dare to enter openly. You're practically walking into a trap."
It turned out that Liu Chunlan was also a resident of Sheng Gong Villa.
Three days ago, her key had been lost, and then her house was burglarized.
If it were ordinary items that were lost, it would have been fine. However, Liu Chunlan dealt in antiques and cultural relics. She had just acquired a priceless Nine Dragon Treasure Cauldron, which she kept in the villa's safe. However, it had vanished during this theft.
So Liu Chunlan quickly sent people to search for it.
As a top luxury residential complex in the capital, the villa's security also bore significant responsibility for the lost items. Everyone at Sheng Gong Villa was extremely proactive. Upon discovering Chen Xuan holding a key but without an entry pass, they rushed to verify.
"Kid, quickly confess where you've hidden the stolen items!" Zhou Hao, who had been silent all along, also spoke coldly.
This Nine Dragon Treasure Cauldron was extremely important to Zhou Hao, and he absolutely could not afford to lose it.
Chen Xuan understood what was going on and asked, "Are you sure the key I have is your key?"
"This..."
Manager Tian was taken aback by the question.
He had confirmed earlier that the key was indeed for the villa, but he hadn't had time to verify whose key it was.
