Speaking of this, several thieves wearing hoods and masks immediately entered the courtyard. They were carrying wrenches, daggers, and other tools for self-defense. Even the thin man who opened the door had his hand on his waist, where there was a gun. As they entered, the thieves saw a car parked in the courtyard. Seeing this, the thin man chuckled softly, "When we leave, we can take this car with us. It's a perfect getaway vehicle! After we escape, we can even sell it, killing two birds with one stone." The other two also chuckled softly.

"With this car, we can take away more things."

"Yes, we can fleece this fat sheep for more wool."

The thin man spoke, "Let's be careful not to alert the fat sheep. If he calls the police, our plan could be ruined." His companion nodded, "You're right!"

They looked inside. A three-story exquisite small building stood there, with intricate carvings and beautiful paintings. "Wow, this house is really beautiful." 

"Damn, these rich people live so comfortably!"

"I can't bear not to fleece this fat sheep properly! Damn!"

"It's so unfair, if I encounter that fat sheep, I must beat him up! Why does he get to live in such a nice house!" The few of them muttered enviously and jealously. They sneaked towards the house. Because the thin man had previously tampered with the security system when he broke in, they didn't encounter any alarms along the way. Using specialized lock-picking tools, the thin man opened the door and walked in.

As they entered, everyone's eyes sharpened. The furniture and decorations inside were of the highest quality. Grand and majestic, exuding a classical beauty that was very pleasing to the eye. All the furniture was top-notch.

"Wow, this sofa is definitely custom-made by a top Italian workshop! So comfortable!" The thin man gently stroked the genuine leather of the sofa, showing a sense of enjoyment.

Another person touched the carpet, "This carpet is definitely handmade, and it's very well-made. It looks expensive at first glance!"

"A whole wall of murals, a depiction of heaven, these angels are so lifelike and realistic, it's art." Looking at these things, the few of them had stars in their eyes. 

"We hit the jackpot! We really hit the jackpot this time!"

"This guy is so rich! We're going to make a fortune!"

They circled around the entire room, filled with excitement. Everything in this house, from the furniture to the decorations, exuded a sense of luxury. They also went upstairs, where the luxury continued. The few of them felt like they had hit the jackpot. But soon, their brows furrowed.

One thief gritted his teeth, "We've been searching for so long, and I haven't seen a single bit of cash or treasure, just these expensive furniture and decorations!" Another person said, "There's no cash or gold, are we supposed to steal this furniture?" 

"This furniture is bulky, it's difficult to steal them!" He clenched his fist. "And, after going around in circles, we haven't seen the fat sheep's figure. Where is he? Did he go out?" The thin man looked at the surroundings, also furrowing his brow tightly, "This house is so luxurious, there must be some money here." 

"This doesn't make sense."

"Normally, in such a wealthy house, there would be hundreds of thousands, if not more, but there isn't even a safe, it's abnormal."

"No, there must be a safe here, there's money," the thin man asserted confidently as he looked around.

"But we've searched the entire house and didn't find anything," his companion replied.

"There is only one possibility then. There must be a hidden room here, and the things are hidden inside it," the thin man deduced, squinting his eyes slightly.

"Once we find the hidden room, we will find the money!" he exclaimed.

Hearing this, the people around them lit up with anticipation. "Let's search!" someone suggested.

Immediately, the group started searching the room. Soon, the thin man noticed traces of an entrance to a hidden room.

He tapped on a wall and noticed that the sound was slightly clearer than from the others, which brightened his eyes instantly. "I found it. The sound here is clearer, which means this is not a solid wall," he said.

"Behind this wall, there must be something hidden. The switch should be nearby," he speculated.

Quickly, his companions ran over to assist him. One of them felt an inconspicuous groove, pressed it, and a display screen appeared. The thin man swiftly connected to it and began cracking the code. After a few tens of seconds, a creaking sound was heard, and the wall opened up.

A deep spiral passage leading underground was revealed. Seeing this, the three of them trembled with excitement. The thin man clenched his fist. "Finally found it! The safe, the cash, and the jewelry must be down here!" he exclaimed.

A companion next to him spoke with a trembling voice, "We're definitely going big with this."

Another companion interjected, "Since we didn't see that fat sheep here, could he be down here?" 

"Possibly," a coldness flashed in his eyes as he continued, "If he's down here, I don't mind sending him off after taking the things. In such a hidden place, no one would discover a dead body inside," he smirked.

The thin man added, "If we encounter that kid, we must eliminate him. After all, he has seen us before, so he might recognize us. Leaving him behind would leave us with trouble."

"You're right," agreed the others. "This hidden room down here is so concealed that even if he's gone, it would be difficult for anyone to find it."

"Let's go," the thin man said.

With that, the three of them headed towards the deep spiral staircase, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement. The spiral staircase lacked bright light, only emitting dim warm light, making the corridor seem even darker. However, the dim environment couldn't conceal the excitement in the hearts of the three. 

Upon reaching the bottom, they found an iron door with a slight gap. Light seeped through the gap, blending into the darkness outside. Apart from the light, there was a strange rhythmic sound of cutting meat, continuous and uninterrupted, along with the sound of a keyboard constantly ringing. Most importantly, a thick smell of blood permeated the air, giving an eerie feel to the atmosphere.

The three of them froze in their tracks, involuntarily swallowing in apprehension.
