Chapter 107: Sneaking Away Under His Eyes
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The female waitress shrank her neck and trembled all over.
Ling Yun didn’t bother with further conversation. He simply brushed past the waitress and continued down the corridor. A man followed closely behind him, his brow furrowed, giving off a strong and commanding presence. It was evident at first glance that this man was the one in charge!
“Chu Yujiang? Any updates?” Ling Yun spoke into his Bluetooth earpiece with a slightly serious tone.
There was no response for a moment, then suddenly, “…Found him! He’s in Tea Room Number Seven.”
“Guard the entrance and don’t let anyone escape!”
“No need for your reminder.”
After ending the call, Ling Yun turned to Sixth Lord. “He’s in Tea Room Number Seven.”
Quan Hanting nodded lightly, his gaze deep and intense.
They were disoriented by the disorganized layout of the seven tea rooms and took a few wrong turns before eventually locating the correct one. Without hesitation, they forcefully entered through the door.
Zhou Chi shuddered as scalding tea water spilled onto his hand, “Who the hell are you guys?” His tone was unfriendly.
“You should wipe it first…” The waitress took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to him, lowering her head, and offering it to him.
Zhou Chi ignored her, his angry eyes glaring at the two intruders, looking ready to settle the score. “I’m asking you a question, didn’t you hear me? Why did you kick my door? I was having a good time here drinking tea, and you two made such a fuss, and even scalded my hand! Where’s the manager?” He angrily snatched the handkerchief and started shouting at the servile waitress, “Get your manager here! 1 want to ask why ‘Shangyuan’ has become a place where anyone can barge in? Why did I spend so much money? To get angry?”
“I’m so sorry…” The female waitress continued to apologize profusely.
Zhou Chi, with an impatient expression, said, “I told you to get the manager, are you deaf?”
The waitress trembled with fear.
“Get out!”
She bit her lip and stood up, then left the scene.
Watching this scene of a raging man, Ling Yun’s confusion deepened. His gaze shifted from Zhou Chi’s angry face to the tabletop, where there were four teacups. Only the one in front of the man was in use, while the other three were turned upside down on the tea tray.
In other words, before they entered, there was only one person in this tea room?
How is that possible?
Could it be… the intelligence provided by Chu Yujiang was wrong?
“Sixth Lord…”
Quan Hanting raised his hand, and Ling Yun had no choice but to suppress all his doubts.
Zhou Chi swallowed nervously as he watched the tall figure of the man approaching. Although the man’s gaze didn’t fall on him, he felt an invisible pressure on his shoulders, making it almost difficult for him to breathe!
Quan Hanting didn’t say a word but simply turned over the three teacups that were upside down on the tea tray. He extended his index finger into one of them and lightly scraped the cup’s wall with the dry fingertip…
Moisture spread on his fingertips, and he brought it close to his nose, taking in the lingering fragrance of tea.
Zhou Chi’s face changed dramatically.
A sharp edge flashed through the man’s eyes. “That waitress is suspicious!”
Ling Yun quickly caught on and followed suit.
If there was truly only one person in the tea room, then the cup walls of the other three teacups should have been dry, even if there were some residual water stains. They shouldn’t have had the scent of tea!
Shen Wan walked through the corridor. As long as she passed through the small arching door ahead, she would reach the lobby. It wouldn’t be so easy for Quan Hanting to catch her there!
Indeed, with just a glance, she recognized Quan Hanting and his subordinate.
She didn’t know why he was here, but the overwhelming aura of danger made her instinctively cautious. If they hadn’t met before, she could have simply waited openly as if nothing was amiss. Unfortunately, they not only met but also had a more intimate encounter during the previous anniversary party, where he had learned about her relationship with the Shen family..
