9. Tracking
With the task progressing slowly and it becoming clear that she was about to lose her ability to fool the system, Yu Chun was so anxious that she scratched out several strands of hair.
Feeling frustrated, he decided to scroll through his WeChat Moments to relax and find some inspiration.
When I opened my WeChat Moments, the first thing I saw was a post from his former employer, Detective Wang.
Top-Tier Law Firm - Attorney Wang: Top-Tier Law Firm's Flagship Course! Learn to read lips in 3 days, and you can use it immediately after learning! Original price 88,888, limited-time special price 68,888, the first 20 people will receive free one-on-one tutoring from Attorney Wang!
That's right, this well-known private investigator, Detective Wang, is actually a top lawyer. He also co-founded a law firm with several old classmates, which is called the Top Law Firm.
When Attorney Wang was a full-time lawyer, he stayed up all night every day researching legal codes and collecting evidence. He didn't earn much money and was always threatened by plaintiffs, defendants, and various interest groups. After only a few years as a lawyer, his hairline receded a bit.
During his time practicing law, Attorney Wang often needed to collect evidence personally, and he keenly discovered the huge business opportunities in the private investigation industry.
After conducting market research, he discovered that detective work not only earns far more than traditional legal work, but also has relatively less work pressure.
So he began to "sell dog meat under the guise of mutton"—ostensibly still taking cases as a top lawyer, but secretly expanding his private detective business.
Gradually, "Lawyer Wang" acquired a new nickname among his clients: "Detective Wang".
After successfully transforming his business, Detective Wang not only diligently completed various investigation commissions, but also fully utilized his business acumen to develop a knowledge-based paid service, selling private tutoring courses on his WeChat Moments.
Yu Chun stared at the advertisement for a long time, and thinking about the failed attempt to eavesdrop on Jianbing's home decoration, she gritted her teeth and transferred 68,888 yuan as the registration fee.
After completing the three-day course, Yu Chun's lip-reading skills have improved considerably.
Now, just by looking at their mouths through the binoculars, Yu Chun can roughly know what they are talking about, which greatly improves Yu Chun's understanding of Jian Bing's daily life.
Yu Chun's 68888 was not wasted; he captured the key information after only a few days of learning.
"Bing'er! I've been dumped!" Jian Bing's best friend called.
"Heartbroken?! Oh my god, let me give you a hug!" Jian Bing comforted her warmly.
"Are you free? Want to grab a drink tonight?" A close friend asked, heartbroken.
Jian Bing readily agreed: "Let's drink! Where should we go?"
"Jinding, right? See you at 7:30 tonight, Jinding!" Yu Chun repeated the lip reading, her heart pounding with excitement.
Good heavens! After stalking Jian Bing for over half a month, this woman is finally going out! It seems she's going out alone to drink with friends. He finally has his chance!
Seeing Jian Bing begin to tidy herself up, Yu Chun also started to tidy herself up.
After changing out of her gray loungewear, Yu Chun put on a black hooded sweatshirt, a black baseball cap, and large sunglasses. She pulled the brim down and looked at her face, which was mostly covered, in the mirror with great satisfaction.
He originally wanted to wear a mask, but the weather wasn't cold and it wasn't flu season, so there weren't many people wearing masks on the street. Wearing one would make him stand out, so after thinking it over, he put the mask in his pocket.
It was almost time, so Yu Chun went to the underground parking lot first, drove out her car, chose a low-key black Mercedes, parked it on the only way out of the community, and pretended to make a phone call.
Soon, Jian Bing's dark purple BMW drove out of the residential area and into the congested traffic.
Yu Chun carefully followed Jian Bing all the way to the famous nightclub "Golden Tripod" in the center of City A.
"So this is the Golden Tripod." Yu Chun was a shut-in and didn't like such glamorous places. She wasn't very familiar with the major nightclubs in City A. She only realized that she was going to the famous Golden Tripod in City A when she arrived.
Yu Chun followed Jian Bing into the store, keeping a certain distance. She watched Jian Bing make a phone call and then go to a booth near the bar.
A pink-haired woman sat in a booth, with several bottles of alcohol scattered haphazardly on the table. She was drinking alone, one glass after another.
After Jian Bing took her seat, the pink-haired woman seemed unable to suppress her grief and began to wail loudly while hugging Jian Bing.
However, the music in the nightclub was deafening, and the colorful lights avoided the booths near the bar, so Yu Chun couldn't hear their conversation or even read their lip movements.
In order to better keep watch, Yu Chun gritted his teeth and sat down at the bar.
"Would you like something to drink, sir?"
Yu Chun wasn't a big drinker, so he ordered the cheapest bottle of mineral water—a total of three thousand yuan.
The waiter looked at the strange young man, still wearing sunglasses in the dim light, and knew perfectly well that he was just another gigolo trying to hook up with a rich woman.
...
Yu Chun was unaware that the staff were treating him like a gigolo; his attention was entirely on Jian Bing, who was not far away.
He held a glass in his right hand, elegantly sipping mineral water worth three thousand yuan, while his left hand was in his pocket, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the carefully prepared packet of medicine.
It is said that opportunity favors the prepared mind. In order to carry out his seduction plan, he had long ago obtained a packet of the legendary aphrodisiac through his connections.
With the medicine about to expire, Yu Chun was incredibly nervous as she finally had a chance to use it today.
"Handsome, want a drink?" A wealthy woman with ten large diamond rings on her fingers was attracted by Yu Chun's exquisite profile and wanted to immediately pull him away to book a room.
Yu Chun didn't even lift her eyelids, coldly refusing.
His target is Jian Bing, so unrelated people shouldn't bother him!
"Want to get to know each other?" A mature man, seeing the wealthy woman rejected, thought he had met a kindred spirit and immediately came over to strike up a conversation.
Yu Chun got goosebumps and refused with disgust.
During this time, several mature women and men approached her, but Yu Chun rejected them all directly.
"This handsome guy has high standards," a minor celebrity sitting next to Yu Chun, who was there to hook up with a rich woman, muttered sourly.
Yu Chun was too lazy to deal with these messy people.
Just then, he saw the pink-haired woman passed out on the table, and Jian Bing was worried about what to do.
Yu Chun's eyes lit up—the time had come!
He walked over quickly.
"Do you need any help, miss?" Yu Chun stopped beside the booth and asked politely.
A young and pleasant voice rang out beside her. Jian Bing looked up and met a pair of clear, dark eyes.
The boy had fair skin, a straight nose, and raven-white eyelashes. His bright black eyes were brimming with moisture, and his full lips gleamed alluringly in the dim light.
The boy's face was so beautiful it seemed unreal, and Jian Bing was momentarily stunned by his beauty.
"Miss?"
The youthful, energetic voice drew Jian Bing's attention back. She blushed and said softly, "My friend is drunk. I booked a room for her upstairs. Could you help me take her up?"
"Happy to help." Finally, they made contact! Yu Chun secretly suppressed her excitement.
The two made sure Jian Bing's friend was settled.
Yu Chun extended an invitation: "This beautiful lady? May I buy you a drink?"
Looking into the boy's deep eyes, Jian Bing felt her legs go weak.
Her eyes darted around for a moment: "Where to drink? Downstairs or in the room?"
Was it really that smooth?
Yu Chun felt it was all a bit unreal.
To make it more realistic, he had a sudden inspiration and set a difficult task for himself.
"Let's drink downstairs first? Then go to the room?" Yu Chun regretted blurting it out as soon as she said it.
It's best to get it done sooner rather than later, otherwise things might change.
But since Jian Bing had agreed, he couldn't go back on his word immediately, otherwise he would seem too eager.
The two went downstairs to a booth and started drinking.
Jianbing had already drunk quite a bit with her heartbroken best friend, and was already slightly tipsy. After drinking another glass of wine, she felt a little dizzy.
"Have a glass of water to sober up." Yu Chun ordered two glasses of mineral water, and to be absolutely sure, she secretly added something to both glasses.
The two of them finished their bottled water.
After drinking the cold mineral water, Jian Bing did feel a little more awake, but the anger in her heart suddenly surged up.
Looking at the energetic young man before her, she was already quite impatient.
"Go upstairs and take a shower. I'll go check on my friend first." Jian Bing handed over her room key "606" and then headed towards the elevator in Area A.
Yu Chun looked at the gold "909" room card and walked towards the elevator in Zone B.
Although he wasn't familiar with Jin Ding, he knew how to distinguish areas by the color of the room key. He remembered that gold was area B and black was area A.
Upon arriving at room 909, Yu Chun noticed that the door was not locked, and without thinking much, she pushed it open and entered.
He went straight into the bathroom and took a shower.
After finishing the cup, Yu Chun felt dizzy. The warm water rushed into his muddled brain, and the hot steam made him feel completely disoriented.
At this moment, the drug took effect, and Yu Chun felt like his brain was full of mush. All he wanted was to relieve his pent-up desire.
Hearing footsteps at the door, he turned off the water, wrapped a towel around himself, opened the door, and hugged the person who came in without even looking.
