As the saying goes: Good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.
Wang Xu's recent days are a good testimony to this sentence.
He told Master Mao about Ding Yao's attempted murder, but the other party's reaction was only one word: "Oh."
In fact, that's right. On the one hand, this guy never takes others seriously, and on the other hand, there are too many people who want to kill him. As the saying goes, if you have more debts, it doesn't matter if you have one more Ding Yao.
However, Mr. Cat found something for Wang Xu to do and asked him to take his foreign apprentice Elbert on his first mission.
"What's this mess, an inn? Are there still inns these days?" Wang Xu was a little puzzled.
Master Mao still said in a lecturing tone: "Of course, so you young people don't care about social news and current affairs. This has been very popular in the past two years. Those hotels are all for tour groups, really good fun
Most people now stay in inns when traveling."
Wang Xu said disdainfully: "Tch... so what if I don't know? I don't want to know yet. People nowadays like to engage in so-called petty bourgeoisie sentiments when they have nothing to do. If they don't stay in good hotels, they can stay in the inns of ancient people and they won't be afraid of summer.
Bitten to death by mosquitoes. Or I sit alone in a coffee shop, order a cup of coffee for half a month's food expenses, and then spend the entire afternoon sighing and pretending to be depressed."
Mr. Cat seemed to be interested: "Haha... It's rare for you to make some insightful remarks."
"That's... Otakus are very knowledgeable! And they're not pretentious!"
Elbert, who was sitting next to him, knew that if the two of them started chatting, they would probably not get back to the topic for a long time, so he quickly stopped them: "You two, let's talk about this mission."
So Mr. Cat once again gave full play to his ability to simplify complex events: "Oh, it's actually nothing. It's just that a few guests who stayed there recently died mysteriously. They were probably ghosts or something.
You go tonight, you can basically solve the problem by staying here for a weekend."
Elbert really believed it: "Okay, I understand."
Wang Xu looked at him and said five words: "You know nothing..."
Albert, whose Chinese was average, didn't quite understand the subtext of this sentence, so he looked at Wang Xu with questioning eyes.
Wang Xu added: "The first lesson I will teach you now is that you must not believe what Master Mao says. You can only believe three points. The remaining seven points are basically very serious matters, and they are all covered by him."
It's hidden. If you don't prepare for the worst, you will definitely be tricked by him..."
Mr. Cat listened and nodded: "It seems that you have indeed grown a lot."
"If you don't make progress, you will kill you sooner or later..."
…………
That night, Wang Xu and the others came to the "Fengyun Inn" located on the outskirts of City S.
There are mountains, water, and forests nearby this place. Although the mountains are not high, the water is not deep, and the forests are not dense, it was originally planned to be developed into a tourist area. However, the development was stopped halfway through. To put it nicely, it was the investors, the construction unit, and the municipal government.
There are some conflicts that cannot be reconciled. To put it more bluntly, it can be summed up in the words "unequal sharing of spoils."
All in all, the project was stopped and the relevant departments gave up. The ones who suffered in the end were some private entrepreneurs, such as those who opened hotels, restaurants, and several supermarket chains. Their land rents were paid and their houses were built.
This is a bow without an arrow to turn back.
Finally, some smart person thought of a way and invested in a large amusement park nearby, which saved many people at once.
City S is a city that is transforming from industry to business. In such a city, land is very expensive. It is impossible to have a large amusement park in the urban area. Even the carnival only comes once a year at most, so although this place is not as good as
Disney, but not without business.
That day happened to be Friday. Although a number of people had died in this inn recently and it had been reported in the newspapers, it still did not affect the business much. Wang Xu and the others arrived a little late, and they almost ran out of rooms.
"There are only two rooms?" Wang Xu moved closer to the "shopkeeper" in front of the counter.
"Sir, it's useless for you to glare at me. There are really only two single rooms."
Wang Xu had asked this question for the third time, so he was not going to ask it for the fourth time. He looked back at Elbert and Yan Li: "You heard it, hahahaha! You heard it! I said
Senior Sister Yan, are you ready to go back now?"
Yan Li snorted coldly: "You don't have to say anything, I will stay here today, don't even think about driving me away."
Elbert saw that the two of them were at war with each other, so he decided to smooth things over: "Brother Wang, let's squeeze in. It's only right for a lady to show some courtesy."
"Why are you squeezing? Both rooms are single rooms. As soon as you, a German tank, lie down on the bed, where will I sleep? Do you also want to have sex with me?"
Albert was speechless by what he said. Well, we are asking for trouble, so just shut up.
When Wang Xu said this, his face suddenly changed and he showed a very evil smile: "Sister Yan, you can stay if you insist. I think it would be better for the two of us to sleep together..." This is Wang Xu
One of Xu's killer moves is to act like a hooligan. To be precise, he pretends to be a hooligan, because essentially he doesn't dare to do anything... But today he met his opponent, and Yan Li was not afraid of him at all.
"Okay, let's get the key." Yan Li still took it calmly, took out her ID card from her wallet and handed it to the shopkeeper.
Albert was shocked by this scene, but he returned to normal after a few seconds. To say that this foreigner has a more open mind, he patted Wang Xu on the shoulder and showed a smile that every man understands,
Then he took his key and went upstairs. In the opinion of the shopkeeper, this move meant that he didn't want to be a light bulb, but what Wang Xu really thought in his heart now was that... he had fallen into a very embarrassing situation.
…………
Ten minutes later, Wang Xu and Yan Li were sitting in the same room.
This room looks like a wooden structure, but in fact there is concrete behind the wooden boards, and the paper windows also have glass interlayers. As for the door, it looks like an ancient folding door. If you look closer, you can see that it is painted on the door panel.
That's all...
The furniture in the room basically follows this route. It can be said that this inn has taken great pains to not only give you the mood and illusion of living in ancient times, but also allow you to enjoy the comfort of a modern hotel.
After a long silence, Wang Xu spoke first: "I think the sound insulation effect here is also good..." He seemed to be hinting at something.
"So what?" Yan Li still didn't agree with him.
"Did you know that I like to sleep naked?" Wang Xu didn't give up.
"Oh? Then why did you say you were sleeping in pajamas when I was hypnotizing you?"
"Damn! You even asked this kind of question! It's so tasteless!"
Yan Li's expression was always calm: "Actually, I didn't ask. I just tried to see if you were lying."
Wang Xu was speechless for a moment after what she said, and a new round of silence began.
A long time passed like this.
"I am serious now and tell you solemnly that Elbert and I are not here to have fun. This is a mission. It is very dangerous. Both me and him may die, so you should not come at all."
"Master Mao has already told me this. I am an adult and can be responsible for my own actions. Moreover, I have an obligation to take good care of my experimental materials."
"Do you know that your willful behavior is likely to drag us down, and do you know that something might happen to you yourself?"
Yan Li stared into his eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't.
Wang Xu sighed, picked up his luggage and left. In the end, he had no choice but to squeeze into a room with a German tank.
Yan Li watched Wang Xu's back disappear at the door, and she whispered the unspoken words: "If it were another you, he would definitely be able to protect me."
