Just as he reached the gates, he saw Lu Jinnian flipping through the rubbish bin by the gates, looking for something...

Even though the rubbish in Mian Xiu Garden was cleared daily, there was still a stench from the bin. 

The assistant froze momentarily before rushing forward with his hands covering his nose. "Mr. Lu, it's dirty here, what are you looking for? I'll get someone to find it for you..." 

Lu Jinnian continued searching through the trash wordlessly, as though his assistant hadn't spoken. Just then, a spark brightened his eyes when he spotted black plastic. 

The assistant retreated backwards, looking as Lu Jinnian opened the plastic bag. In a daze, he stood by the rubbish bin, frozen, looking straight into the bag. 

The cake was in ruin, the butter cream spilling over the bag. There was also deflated balloons inside that were emitting a horrible smell.
