Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Chapter 514

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were lazily lying on the double bed in the hotel, both staring at the ceiling as if there was something interesting on it. They were talking about the woman they met in the restaurant this morning.

"Fatty, how many days do you think that woman can resist coming to see us?" Wu Xie suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the room.

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang slowly crossed his legs, put his hands behind his head, and said with an unfathomable smile on his face, "Tsk! That's hard to say!"

Seeing this, Wu Xie also imitated him and turned sideways, propping up his head with his hands, and continued: "I guess! She will definitely come to find us soon! Do you believe it?"

Fatty Wang turned his head and looked at Wu Xie with a slightly mocking look, saying disdainfully: "Wu Xie, you must be dreaming! Although it is indeed night and time to go to bed, don't let your imagination run wild!"

After hearing what Fatty Wang said, Wu Xie was not angry at all. Instead, he suddenly became excited. He rolled over and got up from the bed, then shouted to Fatty Wang, "Fatty, I'm a little hungry. How about we go out for a midnight snack?"

When Fatty Wang heard there was food, he immediately perked up and jumped up from the bed like a spring, saying, "Let's go!"

After leaving the hotel, the two strolled along the busy streets, casually looking for a suitable barbecue restaurant. Finally, they found a barbecue restaurant that looked good on the street, and walked in without hesitation.

As soon as they entered the store, the store was filled with the tempting aroma of barbecue, making people salivate. The two quickly found an empty seat and sat down, ordering their favorite dishes. However, just as they sat down, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the store, attracting their attention.

When they looked closely, it turned out to be the woman they had bumped into this morning! Her appearance surprised Wu Xie and Fatty, especially Wu Xie, who raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.

While drinking, Wu Xie moved closer to the fat man and said in a low voice, "See what I said? This woman really can't wait to show up!"

The fat man nodded in understanding, and quietly gave a thumbs up to express his appreciation for Wu Xie's foresight. He lowered his voice and responded, "This goal is really clear enough! But what do you think they want to do by sending this woman here?"

Wu Xie glanced at the fat man, and the smile on his face became even more intense. He said with a hint of sarcasm: "What? Do you even need to ask? You are the most lustful among us, and your mouth is the easiest to be pried open. What do you think that woman intends to do to you?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man's eyes widened in disbelief. He opened his mouth and stammered, "I... am I so disrespected by them?"

Wu Xie's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a half-smile, he said slowly: "Who made you give people the first impression of being greedy and lustful! If not you, who else should I use the beauty trap on?"

Sure enough, not long after, the woman came over gracefully. She had a graceful figure and a pretty face, and a tight dress that outlined her figure in all its shapes and sizes. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes seemed to contain a thousand words.

She walked lightly to Wu Xie and Fatty Wang and said in a soft voice, "Two handsome guys, there is no space here. Can you set up a table for us?" Her voice was gentle and pleasant, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang looked at each other, both a little surprised. They took a look around the store and found that there were many empty tables. There was no such thing as no seats. It was really confusing that this woman would say such a thing.

The smile on Wu Xie's face became more and more obvious. He looked at the woman with a half-smile and answered bluntly: "Of course not! There are so many empty tables in this store. If your eyes are useless, donate them to people in need!"

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing the woman's heart. The smile on the woman's face froze instantly. She obviously did not expect Wu Xie to reject her so directly and say such harsh words.

The woman's face turned ugly, she glared at Wu Xie fiercely, then turned around and left their table angrily. Looking at the woman's leaving back, Wu Xie's smile did not fade, but became more proud.

At this time, the owner of the barbecue restaurant came over with a plate of steaming barbecue. She put the barbecue on the table and said to Wu Xie and Fatty Wang enthusiastically, "Two handsome guys, this is part of the barbecue you ordered. Try it first."

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang thanked them and couldn't wait to pick up the skewers and eat them. While eating the delicious barbecue, they chatted about the scenery they saw today.

"Today's Moon Lake is really as beautiful as the rumors say!" Wu Xie exclaimed.

Fatty Wang's mouth was full of food, his cheeks bulging like a hamster. He responded vaguely, "Yes, let's go to other places tomorrow. Maybe there will be more beautiful scenery waiting for us!"

He held a string of grilled chicken wings in his right hand and a string of lamb kebabs in his left hand, eating with great relish, his mouth full of grease and condiments. While chewing the food, he did not forget to chat with Wu Xie.

"Okay! Anyway, Huaerye has given you all the money, so we can go wherever you say!" Fatty Wang said with a big laugh. He had no objection to Wu Xie's arrangement. After all, Wu Xie was the leader of their trip.

Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi ate delicious barbecue with cold beer until 1 or 2 in the morning. During this time, they talked about everything from tourist attractions to life ideals, and laughed constantly.

The woman, who was sitting not far behind them, formed a sharp contrast with them. There was only a pot of hot water and a plate of boiled vegetables on the table in front of her, which seemed particularly light.

She ate silently, seemingly oblivious to the noise around her. She only occasionally looked up at Wu Xie and Fatty Wang, then lowered her head and continued eating her vegetables.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi finally left the barbecue restaurant contentedly after having enough food and drink, and staggered back to the hotel. As soon as they lay down, they fell into a deep sleep, and did not wake up until the next morning when the sun shone through the window on their faces.

The next morning, Wu Xie went downstairs to buy breakfast with sleepy eyes. When he came out of the elevator, he suddenly felt someone bump into him. He was a little surprised, thinking how could someone bump into him on such a wide road? Just as he was about to complain, he suddenly felt a note in his pocket.

Wu Xie quickly hid in a blind spot like a frightened rabbit. He stared at the note with wide eyes. The words on it were like a nightmare, causing his heart to beat faster instantly.

"Xie Yuchen was in a car accident and is in critical condition! Hei Xiazi's whereabouts are unknown!"

How could this be possible? Wu Xie's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't believe it was true. However, when he trembled and dialed the familiar number, a cold prompt tone came from the phone: "The number you dialed is powered off, please call again later."

Wu Xie's hands fell down weakly, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. Was the information on the note true or false? He didn't know, but now he had to find out.

Wu Xie turned around and staggered towards the room. He had originally planned to buy breakfast, but at this moment he had completely lost his appetite. He rushed into the room and pulled back Fatty Wang's quilt.

Fatty Wang was sleeping soundly, but was disturbed by Wu Xie. He grumbled a few words in dissatisfaction, then turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

Seeing this, Wu Xie became even more anxious. He leaned close to Fatty Wang's ear and shouted at the top of his voice, "Fatty Wang! Something big happened in Yanjing!"

However, Fatty Wang seemed to be deaf to Wu Xie's cries and was still immersed in his sleep.

Wu Xie shook his head helplessly, and decided to use his last trump card. He took a deep breath, then leaned close to Wang Pangzi's ear again and shouted with all his might: "Wang Pangzi! Our money was stolen! One hundred thousand yuan, not a penny left!"

This roar was like thunder, exploding in Wang Pangzi's ears. Wang Pangzi sat up suddenly as if he had been electrocuted, and his head hit Wu Xie's forehead squarely.

"Ouch!" Wu Xie felt stars in front of his eyes and the world was spinning.

"What! What was stolen? What little thief came from to steal from me? I don't want to live anymore!"

There was a roar that seemed to blow the roof off. It was the fat man, who jumped up from the bed like an angry lion, cursing non-stop.

He quickly put on his clothes, not even having time to put on his shoes, and was ready to go and argue with the hotel owner. However, just as he was about to rush out, Wu Xie pulled him back like lightning.

"What are you doing?" The fat man was almost knocked over by the sudden pull. He glared at Wu Xie angrily, "Why are you pulling me?"

Wu Xie quickly lowered his voice and said anxiously: "The money is still there! The money is still there! Just listen to me slowly!"

Hearing the three words "the money is still there", the fat man's anger subsided a little, but his face was still full of suspicion and dissatisfaction.

"What did you say? Is the money still there?" Fatty looked at Wu Xie doubtfully, "Don't lie to me. If I find out that you dare to lie to me, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Wu Xie quickly waved his hand, signaling the fat man to calm down, and then continued to explain in a low voice: "Just now I went downstairs to buy breakfast, and I was bumped by someone. The person was mysterious, and when I wasn't paying attention, he secretly slipped a note to me."

When the fat man heard this, his eyes suddenly widened like bells. "Note? What note? What's written on it?"

Wu Xie realized that there might be a bug in the room, so he didn't dare to speak loudly. He just lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear, "The note said that we should not make it public, otherwise we will bear the consequences."

When the fat man heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately realized that things might not be that simple.

"What should we do now?" asked the fat man anxiously.

Wu Xie frowned, thought for a moment, and then said softly: "I think we should not act rashly and see what the other party wants to do."

Although the fat man was somewhat reluctant, he felt that what Wu Xie said made sense, so he nodded to show his agreement.

At this moment, Wu Xie suddenly felt a strange breath. He looked up suddenly and found that the fat man was about to direct his unvented anger towards him.

"What are you doing?" Wu Xie was startled and quickly reached out to cover the fat man's mouth, "Don't say anything first, listen to me!"

"The note said that Xiaohua had been in a car accident and was in critical condition. Heiye was with Xiaohua every day, so it was estimated that they had been in a car accident together, but Heiye's whereabouts are unknown now!"

Fatty Wang's face turned red from holding back his anger.

Wu Xie lowered his head and thought without releasing his hand that was covering Fatty Wang's mouth. "I have two ideas now. One is that this car accident was arranged by Xiaohua and the others, just to make those evil spirits in the Xie Mansion in Yanjing show up. The other is that Pangu's people wanted to trick us into rushing back, and then create some trouble on the way to gain time."

Fatty Wang's whimpering became louder and louder, finally attracting Wu Xie's attention. After letting go of his hand, the fat man took a deep breath of fresh air, sighing that it was so good to be alive!

"Wu Xie! You almost suffocated me to death!"

Fatty asked Wu Xie to continue making noises and talk about the next itinerary, while he quietly checked the entire room. After some effort, Fatty found a total of five or six eavesdropping devices in the room.

"They really think highly of us! We installed one next to each bed and one next to the table. Damn! There are two in the toilet! Are they crazy? They know exactly when we went to the toilet these past two days!"

Fatty Wang threw the mini eavesdropping device he had found on the table, pointing in an unknown direction while cursing.

"Alright! Just find the thing! Now that the bug has been found, they will definitely find out. We have to take advantage of the time they find out and trick them."

Wu Xie suddenly had an idea, and came to the hotel reception desk with the bug on the table in a menacing manner.

"Let your boss come out! Look! Look! What is this! A bug!"

Wu Xie slammed the bug in his hand on the counter at the reception desk. It was morning and people were coming and going in the lobby. Suddenly, they heard Wu Xie's loud voice and everyone in the lobby looked over.

The person at the front desk was also stunned when she saw the bug on the counter. Since their hotel opened, she had seen cameras, smelly socks, dirty clothes and so on, but she had never seen this bug, even though she had heard of it.

"My dear guest, you must be mistaken! Our hotel has never had such a thing!"

"There's no such thing? Then how did my friend find this in the room we were staying in?"

Wu Xie pulled the fat man over and asked him to explain to the front desk staff how they discovered these things.

Fatty Wang followed up Wu Xie's words and started arguing with the person at the front desk, while Wu Xie hid behind and observed every move in the hall quietly.
