Chapter 419: 419
After returning from the cemetery, both great-grandparents took a short rest before going to visit old friends . They had quite a number of old friends in Qi'an City . A gathering was in order since they had come all this way .
Great-grandfather Fang had wanted to spend more time with Fang Zhao but didn't want to impose and bother his great-grandson . He knew that if the two of them stayed here, Fang Zhao would surely spare no effort to look after them . Besides, Fang Zhao would be leaving Yanzhou and heading to Huangzhou tomorrow morning, so he needed ample rest . Great-grandfather Fang would let Fang Zhao spend some time in Yanbei's retirement facility after he graduated from his advanced studies instead .
Great-grandfather Fang was satisfied after taking a few more photographs . He took quite a few more this time around so he could flaunt them within his circle of friends .
Fang Zhao got Yan Biao to drive the two elders around .
During his quarantine period on Whale Island, Fang Zhao had given Zuo Yu and Yan Biao some time off . Both of them had spent Memorial Day back with their families, so they didn't need additional leave upon returning to Yanzhou .
Zuo Yu was sorting out things .
"Boss, should these gaming helmets be placed in the cabinet or…" Zuo Yu looked towards Fang Zhao with a slightly awkward expression .
There were three new gaming helmets . The first had been given by Fiery Bird when he had been at Fiery Bird's Yanzhou Branch the previous day . It was considered a late New Year's gift . It was a limited edition, so it had some collector's value .
The second was a present given to Fang Zhao by everyone in Silver Wing Media's professional gaming team . This was a prize they had won for a challenge match last year . There were only two of these helmets worldwide . The only one in Yanzhou belonged to Fang Zhao . On it were the autographs of everyone in the team sending their regards .
The third gaming helmet was a gift that many of Fang Zhao's gaming fans had chipped in to buy . It had been sent directly to Silver Wing, and Fang Zhao had received it when he had gone to the company . Accompanying the helmet was a handwritten letter which contained the fans' hope of seeing Fang Zhao return to competitive gaming . It was signed by over a hundred fans . This was only the paper copy . In the email version, the number of signatures had hit more than 10,000 and was still increasing .
Curly Hair had been fixated on this third gaming helmet ever since Fang Zhao had brought it home . Now, Curly Hair wanted to bite this helmet and hide it in his own little storage space . This put Zuo Yu in a difficult spot . Curly Hair's storage space really wasn't big, and it wasn't convenient to store things there . Furthermore, it wouldn't be good if this sort of commemorative edition gaming helmet was scratched or damaged . Thus, Zuo Yu hadn't let Curly Hair bite and drag it away, so Curly Hair was now staring at Zuo Yu and baring his fangs .
Fang Zhao saw the situation and said, "Place it in the cabinet . " At the same time, he flashed Curly Hair a warning glance .
Curly Hair whimpered .
"That's right . This sort of precious gift should be placed in the cabinet where it can be displayed and be safely guarded against theft . If any item on the display cabinet is removed, it will show on your personal terminal . " Zuo Yu pointed at its electronic screen . The screen displayed the number of items in the cabinet as well as the temperature and humidity levels .
After carefully placing the gaming helmet in the display cabinet, Zuo Yu turned his head and realized that Curly Hair was lying at the side with his head raised, staring at the display cabinet .
Why did it seem like… this dog's eyes were glowing even brighter when staring at this gaming helmet than when looking at a bone?
Could his belly be filled just by staring this way?
Zuo Yu scratched his head . He just couldn't understand it . Perhaps that dog had a hobby for collecting stuff?
Little did Zuo Yu know that in Curly Hair's heart, those three gaming helmets belonged to Curly Hair himself . Fang Zhao rarely touched games when he was home . Besides, Fang Zhao's greatest love was still music, and he didn't really like games . In this case, these things would naturally belong to Curly Hair .
Curly Hair only stopped staring at the display cabinet after Zuo Yu left . He wagged his tail as he started to game!
There was still a spare for the gaming helmet that had been brought to HuangArt . Curly Hair spent the whole night playing a new game that Fang Zhao had let him play .
In the morning, Curly Hair was pulled back into reality by a tug on his ears from Fang Zhao . Fang Zhao wasn't going to let him play without rest .
There were still lessons and assignments at HuangArt so Fang Zhao left Yanzhou for Huangzhou after breakfast . Before leaving, Fang Zhao filled up the feeding machine for the aquarium before knocking on the glass wall . "Watch the house properly . "
In the aquarium, the "ears" of the soft and flabby "rabbit" were moving in sync with the weak current of the water .
On the same night after Fang Zhao had left, two figures appeared outside Fang Zhao's door .
One of them with fiddling with some sort of apparatus and made a hand gesture .
Beep!
The door was unlocked .
However, the two of them didn't enter immediately and instead looked at the signboard hung above the door——
"Ferocious beasts inside, please keep away unless invited?"
The two exchanged glances and snickered silently before entering quickly .
After confirming that the interior surveillance and alarm systems were disabled, the two unloaded their equipment .
"Easy peasy," the skinnier and more agile of the two said with slight disdain .
"An old building at the top floor . It's not very noticeable," the shorter and stubbier man said as he surveyed the surroundings carefully .
Fang Zhao had purchased this apartment from Xue Jing some time back . Perhaps back then when he had just bought the place, this building's installations could still be considered top-notch . But as the years went by, this place also became an older building . Its hardware installations were already starting to be outdated and had many loopholes that weren't difficult for "professionals" to exploit .
"So Fang Zhao stays here? It doesn't feel like it matches his status . " The other person had taken out a miniature camera and was starting to take photos of the interior .
Some of the older buildings in the area had already undergone reconstruction . They had been remodeled to be taller and more beautiful . The building that Fang Zhao stayed in really paled in comparison . It would have been more understandable if a second or third grade celebrity was staying here . However, this place seemed a little unsuitable given the popularity and attention Fang Zhao received .
"It's also good that he stays here . Otherwise, our assignment would be much more difficult . "
"Alright, let's start . You take the photographs and I will do the searching . "
