This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

The car Qiao Kang spoke of was a somewhat old Jinbei van. As soon as the door opened, a pungent smell rushed out.

It was like a mixture of insecticide and alcohol.

Generally speaking, these two things are usually mixed and sprayed to mask some kind of odor.

Lin Jue twitched his nose, sniffing the air, and smelled a faint, strange smell, but the smell of insecticide and alcohol was too strong to distinguish what it was.

Jia Jia pinched her nose and stayed far away, looking very disgusted: "I say, Brother Kang, you're a person who lives in a villa, how can you still drive such a broken car?"

"I don't really care about cars." Qiao Kang opened the driver's side door, plopped down, and patted the passenger seat next to him: "Besides, the Jinbei is spacious, get in."

"Tsk." Jia Jia rolled her eyes and sat in the passenger seat.

The young couple sat in the second row, and Lin Jue and Heping Ge sat in the last row.

After everyone was seated, the Jinbei van slowly started and drove towards the outskirts of the city.

Suolong Mountain was located ten kilometers outside Sanjiang City, a long journey, about two hours' drive.

Qiao Kang drove quietly, while Jia Jia pulled down the sun visor and touched up her makeup in the mirror.

Heping Ge shrank into the corner, not saying a word since getting into the car.

Lin Jue chatted enthusiastically with the young couple, learning that the man was called Chen Fugui and the woman was called Yao Yao, and they had been together since graduating from high school.

"I really envy your relationship, being together for so long and still being so close."

Lin Jue showed an envious expression, but he flipped through their Moments yesterday and it seemed like they had only been together for just a year.

After all, they had just posted anniversary photos not long ago.

Why are these two guys lying?

"What about you? What do you do?" Yao Yao turned to look at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue replied: "Just graduated with a master's degree from Sanjiang University, and haven't started looking for a job yet."

"Wow!" Yao Yao's eyes sparkled: "So handsome and so highly educated, there must be a lot of girls who like you."

"Yao Yao!" Chen Fugui tugged at his girlfriend, his tone very dissatisfied.

"I know, I know." Yao Yao muttered, then put her face close to the passenger seat and asked: "Sister Jia Jia, what do you do?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Jia Jia reached out and flipped her hair: "I'm a model."

"No wonder you're so pretty."

It had to be said that Yao Yao was really good at providing emotional value, a sentence that made Jia Jia smile, and the two girls quickly started chatting.

Model?

Lin Jue's eyes moved slightly. He guessed that Jia Jia was a streamer when he looked at her Moments yesterday, but he didn't expect her to be a model.

"Did I guess wrong, or is she lying about her profession?"

Everything looked normal in the Moments yesterday, but it seems like everything is not quite normal once we meet.

He turned to look at Heping Ge, who was huddled in the corner, with a bright smile: "Big brother, what do you do?"

"Don't smile like that, it's disgusting." Heping Ge glanced at Lin Jue, his face very indifferent: "Just an unemployed vagrant."

Lin Jue didn't have any emotional fluctuations because of the other party's criticism, but the smile on his face became even brighter: "Brother, aren't you hot wearing so much?"

Heping Ge didn't say anything more, turned his head to the side, and looked out the window.

Seeing that the other party had no desire to chat, he probably couldn't get any information out of him.

Lin Jue didn't bother to make a fool of himself, picked up the bag on the ground, and asked: "Are you guys hungry? I brought a lot of snacks, potato chips, spicy sticks, and stuff like that."

"I want to eat, I want to eat." Yao Yao was the first to respond: "I was going to bring some too, but Fugui insisted on bringing instant noodles and bread, so there was no room in the bag for snacks."

"Do you have cucumber-flavored potato chips?" Jia Jia in the passenger seat then asked.

"Yes, in the bag."

Lin Jue opened the zipper, and the van just happened to pass over a speed bump, and the car body shook.

He let out an 'ouch', and several bags of snacks and a bronze dagger fell out of the bag at the same time.

The blade fell to the ground, a crisp sound rang out, and the car suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on the bronze dagger, with different expressions.

Even Heping Ge, who had been looking out the window, turned his head and stared at the dagger.

"Oops, I told my mom I don't eat fruit, I don't eat fruit, and she still had to pack a fruit knife for me."

Lin Jue pretended to be helpless, while observing everyone's expressions.

Jia Jia in the passenger seat covered her mouth, looking at Lin Jue with some horror, Yao Yao and her had similar expressions.

Chen Fugui was relatively calm, chuckling twice: "Your family's fruit knife is quite unique, what dynasty is it from?"

And Heping Ge's pupils shrank, giving Lin Jue a meaningful look.

As for Qiao Kang, because he had to concentrate on driving, he only glanced back hastily when he heard the sound, and didn't know if he saw it.

"Sorry, sorry."

Lin Jue picked up the bronze dagger and put it back in the bag. He had just deliberately dropped this thing to test everyone's reaction.

Jia Jia and the young couple's expressions didn't seem to recognize the strange object, just the reaction of ordinary people encountering controlled knives.

But Heping Ge's expression was a bit intriguing.

The other party seemed to know that this bronze dagger was a strange object, which meant that the other party had experienced strange events and also learned about relevant information.

This guy is the biggest problem so far.

The atmosphere in the car became strange. Yao Yao, who had been chatting with Lin Jue, closed her mouth and clung tightly to Chen Fugui.

Jia Jia in the front kept observing Lin Jue through the rearview mirror, while Heping Ge huddled into a ball, seemingly trying to minimize his presence.

The car quickly drove out of the city, along the winding mountain road to Suolong Mountain, and finally stopped in a villa area.

The villa area was somewhat abandoned, mostly empty houses, with only a few renovated, but it didn't seem like many people lived there.

Many weeds grew in the cracks of the paved marble ground, and the iron gate of the community was covered with water rust.

Even the security booth at the entrance was empty, with no one on duty.

"Let's get out of the car." Qiao Kang parked the car on the side of the road and called everyone to get out.

Jia Jia's face was a little unsightly: "Brother Kang, are you sure someone lives here?"

This obviously looked like an unfinished building, not like a luxury villa at all.

Could someone live in such an abandoned place?

"I haven't been back to live here for a long time either. There used to be quite a few people, but some moved away later, and now there are only two families left."

Qiao Kang scratched his head and comforted: "But don't worry, everything at home is complete, and there are enough rooms to live in."

Everyone followed Qiao Kang into the villa. Lin Jue looked back at the Jinbei van parked on the side of the road, feeling puzzled.

Why not park the car in the garage of his own villa? Is it because there's no security at the door and there's no way to drive the car in?

But Lin Jue clearly saw just now that it was a license plate recognition system that could raise the barrier, or is it that the Jinbei's license plate is not in the villa area's recognition system?

Qiao Kang led everyone to a villa at the very end. The villa occupied about 200 square meters, with three floors above ground and a large yard, luxuriously decorated.

As soon as he got close, Lin Jue smelled the pungent smell from the Jinbei van again.

This smell was even stronger, coming from the direction of the villa, and it could be smelled very clearly even standing outside.

Apart from this smell, it was difficult to smell any other smell.
