He then gestured towards the hotel's main entrance...
Amidst the chaotic atmosphere caused by the theft, a person who was almost invisible appeared.
Having lost his usual demeanor, Lao Chen resembled an ordinary modern-day worker without any spiritual power, exhausted and disheveled after a long day of overtime.
The vest he had taken off was casually draped over his shoulders.
Good heavens, the other party, upon seeing Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, didn't care at all why the atmosphere in the hotel lobby was so noisy and chaotic, and rushed over with a hint of resentment.
Old Chen rushed over, and to avoid Tan Yue and Zhang Chaoqiang finding out what he had done, he deliberately spoke in a low voice and gritted his teeth as he questioned the two of them: "Chaoqiang's dad, I think I reminded you to keep in touch, right?"
Why did you forget so quickly? I sent you over a hundred messages in just half an hour!
Zhang Huolong quickly opened his palm and pulled Lao Chen aside, leaving only Tan Yue and Zhang Chaoqiang to deal with the administrator and investigator. This gave them a chance to whisper to each other.
"It's not that I forgot, but the hotel was just broken into, and the whole hotel is in chaos. I'm busy and don't have time to read your message!"
Ding…
[The Whistleblower] +1
As he watched the city administrators take the thief in the black coat into the dispatch vehicle, his keen hearing allowed him to vaguely hear the conversation between Zhang Huolong, Shen Qiangwei, and Old Chen.
When Zhang Huolong said that he didn't have time to check the messages because of the situation at the scene, it showed that his "Revealer" mission was completed again, and he only needed 5 more missions to complete it.
So, what does this mean? Zhang Chaoqiang glanced at Zhang Huolong.
The scene was indeed chaotic, but his earlier statement that he was too busy to pay attention to Lao Chen's information was clearly a blatant lie. The one who was really busy was Zhang Chaoqiang himself, right?
My parents, who haven't lost anything and have no ability to help anyone, shamelessly use being busy as an excuse...
Indeed, it was quite obvious that Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei had completely forgotten about Old Chen.
After observing the scene and confirming that Tan Yue's belongings had been recovered, Old Chen stopped worrying about it.
He only cares about his own life's most important matter.
"Tell me exactly what happened!"
"How exactly did you feel that your relationship ended? Did the other person reject you on the spot?"
Under Zhang Huolong's curiosity, Lao Chen first shook his head, and then began to review today's so-called "date".
This was even more painful for him than being rejected by Lao Chen in person.
"We went to a bar, and everything was fine at first. We were chatting, and after we got a little tipsy, I realized you weren't replying to my texts."
so…"
"So what?"
“Hey, don’t interrupt Old Chen. Old Chen, please continue…” Shen Qiangwei said.
“Look at the messages. Between 9:00 and 9:20, I kept sending you messages, asking how to improve relationships between men and women.”
But you didn't reply. Maybe it's because the manners you taught me at the restaurant this morning made a good impression on her, so she was more patient with me.
We chatted for a while, and I don't know if it's because you guys weren't there, but during our conversation, I never heard her use that ambiguous word of thanks, "thank you."
"Even her smile was just a continuous smile, not the exaggerated laughter she had when she saw me at dinner, and her cheeks weren't as red as they were at dinner!" Old Chen paused here.
Although Zhang Chaoqiang didn't intentionally eavesdrop, to be honest, he was genuinely interested in Old Chen's experiences, and since he was already standing quite far away, the sound automatically reached his ears, so it's no wonder he was eavesdropping.
It's just that his senses are too sharp, but even with such heightened senses, he couldn't hide his true feelings at this moment...
He only now realized that Old Chen, who knew absolutely nothing about relationships between men and women, was actually an absolute genius.
If what Lao Chen said is true, then this idea is too outrageous. It seems that Lao Chen has a very serious misunderstanding of the other party's expression.
He took the blush that Manager Liu showed when she was frightened and embarrassed by his bizarre behavior in the evening, and her exaggerated smile, which she used to cover up her embarrassment out of professional courtesy, as a sign that the other party was infatuated with him.
They even treat the word "thank you" as an ambiguous term.
Isn't this a polite expression? Even between men and women, before reaching a very intimate relationship, they use words of gratitude to show mutual respect.
No wonder Old Chen often looked at them with strange eyes when they thanked each other before.
If that's the case, then Old Chen is truly an oddball.
However, based on his description, we know that Manager Liu was less resistant and embarrassed towards Lao Chen during the date, perhaps because Shen Qiangwei didn't make any strange or inappropriate interference suggestions.
In Zhang Chaoqiang's opinion, Manager Liu's feelings for Lao Chen had been somewhat salvaged during the date just now. He just didn't know how Lao Chen's statement about the date "falling out" had come about...
A moment later, under Shen Qiangwei's persistent questioning, Old Chen continued:
"When I saw that her reaction to me was much milder than her reaction in the restaurant that evening..."
I remember you once told me that the most important things are passion and novelty. I think I might have lost my novelty for her…”
"In addition, you didn't give me any timely advice, so I couldn't hold back. I remembered the love story that Chaoqiang's dad told us... There was a very romantic scene in it, and I just used it on a whim."
"Oh? Which scene is it?"
Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei exchanged a glance, their curious gazes never ceasing to fall upon Old Chen.
Do you remember when you two officially became a couple?
Faced with this question, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei exchanged a glance: "Husband, you still remember, right?"
Seeing the somewhat threatening look in Shen Qiangwei's eyes, Zhang Huolong knew in his heart that if he didn't remember, then tonight's battle would extend from three hundred rounds to six hundred rounds.
Zhang Huolong raised his head: "How could I not remember? Back then, when we had feelings for each other, we went to a bar. That was the only time we ever went to a bar."
Looking back, to be honest, as a somewhat spirited young person, I'd only ever been to a bar once, perhaps because of the high prices. But later, the two of them decided there was no need to go to such chaotic places.
Zhang Huolong: "We had just finished a bottle of beer and were almost drunk when I volunteered to go on stage and, under the spotlight, performed a flower hand dance and a Qinghai folk dance for my wife..."
After publicly professing his love to my wife, she was naturally moved and agreed to become my girlfriend!
So, Old Chen, you mean you've replicated my behavior from back then?
Old Chen said quietly, "That's right."
Zhang Huolong: "Then wouldn't that be a direct win? I think she'd be absolutely moved, right? Old Chen, are you kidding us?"
Zhang Huolong didn't believe in superstitions and said frankly, "Even if I were to instruct myself, the ultimate trick would probably be something like this, except that it might change from the popular Qinghai shake and flower hand gestures of yesteryear to the driving test and Guangxi walk in accordance with the times."
The clever Old Chen even knows how to use his amazing weapon; if you can't take him down, then you must be seeing a ghost.
"When I finished my performance, she was gone."
"When I found Manager Liu in the back alley, guess how she reacted?"
"Don't guess, just tell me."
"She knelt down in front of me and asked if she had offended me in any way, saying she wanted to apologize and beg me not to torture her..."
At that moment, I was internally screaming with rage, but what was worse, the bar owner didn't let me off the hook either. This ordinary guy, who wasn't even a martial artist, thought I'd been cheated on and gave me a green cocktail called "Sad Pacific Ocean"...
These words were followed by a long silence.
Old Chen stared at Zhang Huolong: "Why isn't your method working anymore?"
Zhang Huolong: "Why doesn't it work? I already grasped the problem before you even gave me the answer!"
"We should follow the trend of the times and switch to driving test part three and the Guangxi walk! These are even funnier than any social dance; the other person can't help but be moved..."
"You mean, you want me to demonstrate to her again what you called 'driving test part three' and the 'Guangxi walk'? Are you sure it'll work?"
"It's all thanks to Bao Cheng, Bao Cheng will change her mind. You can't blame her. Only our traditional school will always stick to the Qinghai Yao and Huashou."
Those people are probably reformers; they don't like old things, so in their eyes, the dance you're performing is outdated and torture for them…”
"You guys have to teach me, right, Super Strong Dad?"
"Hurry up and go up there. I'll quickly teach you both the driving test's third stage and the Guangxi dance. Let's try to use these two killer moves to turn the tide!"
Zhang Chaoqiang couldn't listen anymore and apologized to Tan Yue, who was completely bewildered, once again, leaving her utterly confused.
The night and the black-clad thief's color scheme complemented each other perfectly.
After returning all the stolen goods to their rightful owner at the scene, he was taken into custody and interrogated by the municipal administration bureau.
At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary theft case by a martial artist, which could be closed quickly according to procedures, and would give the central administrator and the investigators present today a good impression.
However, before and after the interrogation, it seemed that things were not so simple.
After learning about the black-clad thief's background, it was discovered that the man came from a wealthy family; his father was a seventh-level martial artist and a general-level figure on the front lines, which was considered a relatively high position.
Therefore, he had absolutely no motive to covet other people's second- or third-tier cultivation resources and crystal cores.
Therefore, after conducting a thorough interrogation of the thief in black regarding this aspect and the scent of the photinia flower, the city-level administrators discovered some clues based on the thief's reaction.
Why did you steal?
The thief in black: "..."
"Say!"
Normally, interrogating ordinary prisoners is quite violent, because that's what's effective. But when it's discovered that the person has some kind of background, the administrators become much gentler.
Under questioning, the other party stammered, "I couldn't control myself..."
"Can't control yourself? What do you mean?"
"I just can't control it..."
The thief in black said embarrassedly that recently, for some reason, he had been having a strange thought in his mind, as if some unseen voice was driving him to steal...
My own hands would inexplicably start to itch.
He had been suppressing it for several days, but today, as he passed by the Castle Hotel, the urge to "steal" in his heart became more and more intense.
Then, as if he couldn't control himself, he impulsively stole all the valuable items from the hotel room.
"Lying!" Upon hearing this, the administrator slammed his hand on the table in the interrogation room.
"The fact that you carry the scent of photinia flowers that can interfere with signal sources, and that you deliberately avoided all surveillance cameras, is enough to prove that this was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather something you had planned in advance!"
At this moment, the black-clad thief, who had been rather unresponsive, became agitated: "Their hotel's surveillance cameras are obvious, there's no need to specifically scout the location, and besides, the photinia spirit flower you mentioned, I've never used that thing!"
Besides, I don't lack these resources at all. Even after I committed the theft, I didn't realize it, as if something was influencing me from the shadows..."
Click...
After the thief in black finished speaking, the administrator ended the interrogation and organized the evidence and confessions.
Just as the thief in black said.
