Time has a filtering function, silently fading everything, including doubt, suspicion, and unease.
The work continued, as if the inspection team's arrival was merely a formality, a perfunctory visit.
What's interesting is that Chen Rancheng now has a woman by his side.
Unaware of what was happening, Wang Wukun could no longer contain himself and ordered his men to begin arranging the next transaction.
As cautious as he is, why would he risk appearing at the transaction site?
The shrill ringing of the bell shattered the tranquility of the night, and Wang Wukun's eyelids twitched inexplicably.
He pressed his eyelids, closed his eyes briefly when he saw the caller ID, and mentally estimated the time before answering the call.
"Boss, I saw Deng Yixiao."
Upon hearing the name, Wang Wukun's pupils constricted, and his voice tightened, "He saw you?"
Guo Wei cautiously replied, "No, I'm in a corner on the second floor."
As Deng Yixiao sat in the lobby, his head inadvertently swept over the second floor. Guo Wei hid behind a potted plant next to him, his eyes fixed on him from the shadows.
That glance seemed casual, and then Deng Yixiao took the drink handed to him by the bartender.
Borrowing the bartender's shaker, he poured the drink in, swirling the shaker nimbly in his hands, performing fancy tricks, and finally pushed the mixed drink to the woman next to him.
Beside him stood a beautiful woman with a slender figure, long hair, and blue eyes. She took the food, brought it to her lips, sipped it slightly, and smiled as she placed her hand on Deng Yixiao's shoulder.
"He seems to be picking up girls."
"..."
Deng Yixiao joked while glancing at the corner of the second floor.
After feeding the fish for so long, it finally took the bait.
He took out money from his pocket to pay the beautiful woman next to him for her performance, and dialed a number to signal that they could proceed.
The woman received Deng Yixiao's invitation a dozen minutes earlier. Although she didn't understand why he wanted to do it, how could she refuse such a good thing that offered money?
After all, making money is hard and getting by is tough these days.
There aren't many opportunities like this where you can make money just by drinking and putting your arm around someone's shoulder.
Deng Yixiao got up and walked towards the bathroom. The bathroom was a mess. A drunk woman was lying on the wall and had vomited all over the man next to her. The floor was also a mess.
She couldn't help but frown.
Covered in vomit, Xiao Zhang looked at Deng Yixiao with a wronged expression, seemingly not expecting to complete the mission in such a self-sacrificing way.
If the bathroom on the first floor is unusable, then you naturally have to go to the second floor.
When Shen Tinghe received Alina's call, she was in the kitchen preparing food, simply stir-frying a plate of tomatoes and eggs.
The phone was on speakerphone and placed on the kitchen counter. A male voice came from the microphone: Alina was drunk in the bar and had vomited all over people.
Shen Tinghe was immediately at her wits' end. Although she and Alina were just casual acquaintances, she couldn't just sit idly by in this situation. It was a pity about the tomato and egg dish that she had just made and hadn't even had a few bites of yet.
The vomit on the ground had been cleaned up. Xiao Zhang held up his clothes and rinsed them under the tap, looking in the mirror at the woman who was still clinging to his feet.
Alina had no other thoughts; her vague consciousness told her that she couldn't let him leave like this.
Unable to get away and follow Deng Yixiao to the second floor, Xiao Zhang could only wait patiently for the person who was supposed to pick her up.
He tried to pull her up from the ground, but she wouldn't cooperate and just leaned against the ground. After all that commotion, he thought it was just a young couple arguing. This is what Shen Tinghe saw when the bartender came over.
He quickly stepped forward to help him pull Alina up. Seeing that Shen Tinghe was not as resistant as before, Alina leaned on Shen Tinghe.
Shen Tinghe supported her arm and placed it on her shoulder, apologized to Xiao Zhang, thanked him for helping to take care of Alina, and, looking at her half-wet clothes, expressed her apology by saying she could make amends.
Xiao Zhang waved his hand, saying it wasn't necessary, and turned to walk towards the second floor. Alina seemed to want to say something, pointing at his back and muttering incessantly.
The private room was empty, leaving only scattered traces: spilled wine on the leather sofa, leftover melon rinds, and a small cream cake that had fallen to the floor, leaving a sticky residue.
There seemed to be nothing unusual, but Deng Yixiao still noticed something, and the words Chen Rancheng had said in the office that day came to mind.
Deng Yixiao's eyes were fixed on the cream marks on the ground. In addition to the sticky white cream, there was also a thin layer of powder mixed in with the cream.
