Chapter 2760 The Thirteenth Day Talk (Part Twelve)
Go up the mountain, the third building.

Unless Mrs. Trish gave a false address, the payment indicated that he had already found her place.

However, the place was as dark as a ghost town, devoid of any human presence.

It is exquisite, small in size but exuding wealth, and its location is impeccable.

But if Mrs. Tracy hadn't lied earlier, the scene before her was somewhat strange.

The fact that she didn't bump into the woman with the hair clip could be explained by either walking too fast or walking too carefully, using her familiarity with the area to avoid it.

Even after arriving at their accommodation, they were still worried and didn't dare to turn on the lights.

This reason is far too abstract.

Or perhaps, after calming down, she regretted telling him her address and simply didn't dare to come back?
The VIP area isn't very large; you can see only about five small buildings in total.

Even using a purely trial-and-error approach, it wouldn't take long to find Tracy's male companion's place.

So, initially, Fu Qian didn't plan to bother Cui Xi.

However, when they reached the vicinity of her residence, Fu Qian did not continue, but instead turned inside and climbed the steps.

Trial and error is never as efficient as corrective testing. We should just ask Mrs. Tracy directly.

The only slight regret is that I shouldn't have returned the brooch to her in such a hurry—

The next moment, Fu Qian stopped in front of the locked door and knocked.

……

What's that saying again? When someone surnamed Fu comes knocking on the door?

Darkness always easily liberates people's imagination. At that moment, there is no awareness of disturbing people, only the feeling that life is like a play.

Of course, not everyone can handle the role.

For example, even after knocking on the door and waiting for a while, Mrs. Tracy still did not come out to respond.

Everyone in this world has their own destiny, and I will not force anything in the future.

He didn't mind the cold reception and immediately took action himself.

The reason she only felt a little regretful about returning the brooch was that Mrs. Tracy's male companion had a similar style to hers, and his dress also featured a brooch.

After casually reaching down, Fu Qian opened the dark wooden door with almost the same efficiency as using a key.

"what are you doing?"

However, before it could even gain wider acceptance, such a sophisticated technique was already met with skepticism.

As the door was pushed open, a figure stood in the darkness; upon closer inspection, it was none other than Mrs. Tracy, who had left earlier.

At this moment, the latter was staring coldly at them, clearly in a bad mood.

……

You look great.

The highest level of lock picking is never simply about mastering the technique; cultivating one's mental state is equally important.

For example, if someone sneaks in and breaks into a lock and happens to be caught in the act, they can still remain calm and composed.

When confronted with the questioning, Fu Qian showed no hesitation or unease, simply nodding slightly and exchanging a few pleasantries.

Even though it was just polite talk, it was by no means something said without reason.

Even without the lights on, Mrs. Tracy's face was a bit dark, but one thing was very obvious—she had even changed her clothes.

It remained exquisite and gorgeous, and there was no trace of the previous dishevelment.

If it weren't for the previous conversation, judging solely from her current appearance, she would be the epitome of a refined and aloof noblewoman.

"Thank you."

Even her demeanor was impeccable. Despite praising a stranger who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and one that might remind her of embarrassing past events, Tracy hesitated for a moment before thanking them first.

"You look good too, and the clothes fit you well."

Not only that, they also complimented each other in a friendly way.

Of course, from Fu Qian's perspective, there's definitely a hidden meaning in what he said.

The emphasis on a good fit is naturally because it's worth highlighting, serving as a reminder that the person paying for the clothes is not the original owner.

Furthermore, this act of proactively bringing up unpleasant past events is clearly an implication that no matter what the purpose of visiting is, one should not try to use such things to blackmail.

"I also think it's good, but the collar is a little torn, so it's not easy to control when the eyes are covered."

Fortunately, Fu Qian didn't do anything vulgar; he just chatted about funny things from the past.

"If someone hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have realized how obvious it was, so I was just about to find some clothes to change into."

And there was a hint of regret in his gestures.

"...You should have the key at the very back."

Tracy, quick to understand the unspoken meaning, remained silent for only a moment before discerning Fu Qian's request and pointing out which room her male companion was staying in.

"Thanks for letting me know... Actually, what I wanted to ask was, do you know who noticed my torn collar?"

Unfortunately, even with such cooperation, I was still not very satisfied before I paid. After politely thanking them, I emphasized that the main point was actually something else entirely.

……

Knocking on doors late at night to play a guessing game? You have so much free time!

The meaning of "付前" is not difficult to understand, but the lifestyle it expresses is truly breathtaking.

At least Mrs. Tracy seemed quite moved; for a moment, she caught her breath and almost lost her composure.

"That might be hard to guess. There are quite a lot of people here, and you're very popular."

However, her composure ultimately prevailed. She took a deep breath and, while politely declining, didn't forget to offer a compliment.

“That makes sense, but I believe you can guess, because he is a very special young man.”

Fu Qian, however, persisted, indicating that he should not give up easily.

Very special young people...

Mrs. Tracy seemed to be reaching her limit, and she didn't even mind showing it on her face.

"Short hair, with a tasteless hair clip? It's a pity I don't remember her name, I only know that she has a very good memory when it comes to clothes."

Unfortunately, after realizing it was pointless, she ultimately chose to face reality and, after some thought, actually came up with an answer.

It's even a fairly accurate answer.

"Correct answer, although I think that hair clip is pretty good."

Mrs. Tracy's answer was undoubtedly quite pleasing, serving as yet another instance of mutual validation.

This not only proves that the woman who gave the hair clip is telling the truth, but also her evaluation of the man in front of her.

While expressing deep satisfaction, before paying, I also gave a fair evaluation, saying that although the hair clip was simple, it was actually quite suitable.

"I agree with you, and it's been a very pleasant conversation with you."

Mrs. Tracy's reaction was remarkably easygoing; she even compromised on her usually firm principles regarding taste.

Combined with the following sentence, it's clear that they're sending the guests away at all costs.

"I think so too, so shouldn't you invite me in to talk?"

Unfortunately, Fu Qian seemed completely oblivious to polite words, refusing to leave and even pushing his luck.

"I'll wait with you."

Then, without waiting for the other party to refuse, he indicated that there were more things that could be done.
