After finishing their meal, the two returned to the hotel at a leisurely pace.
As soon as they opened the hotel room door, they saw two conspicuous small cards on the floor, obviously slipped in through the door by someone while they were out.
Ye Cangtian picked up the small card and took a look, a smile forming on his lips.
"What are you holding?"
Tang Xinwan looked over curiously, then her pretty face instantly turned red. She couldn't help but spit, "Disgusting, throw it away!"
Ye Cangtian was displeased, "What's so disgusting about them? They don't want your engagement ring, your house, or your car. For just six hundred yuan, they can offer you a harbor for your soul. Where can you find such a good girl?"
"..."
Tang Xinwan was speechless, then she grunted with a stern face, "Then you go find that good girl, and don't come back!"
Ye Cangtian swiftly threw the small card into the trash can, chuckling, "Just kidding. Am I that kind of person?"
Tang Xinwan hugged her arms, a cold smile on her face.
You are exactly that kind of person, a total pervert!
Ye Cangtian felt a little awkward under her gaze, "Well, I'm going to take a shower first!"
He had eaten a lot of roast duck in the evening and felt greasy all over.
Tang Xinwan didn't say much and turned on the TV to watch. Her mind was still on the woman in sunglasses she had seen at Quanjude that evening.
Idly flipping through channels with the remote, after a while, the screen suddenly showed a press conference. It seemed a female celebrity was releasing a new album.
When Tang Xinwan saw the celebrity's appearance, her eyes lit up.
She finally knew why the woman in sunglasses had seemed familiar. Although the woman was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, she bore a striking resemblance to this celebrity.
"Could it be her?" Tang Xinwan was excited for a moment, but then felt a bit strange.
Could it really be her?
At this moment, Ye Cangtian walked out of the bathroom, his hair still wet as he towel-dried it. Glancing at Tang Xinwan watching TV, he smiled and asked, "When did you start paying attention to celebrities?"
He hadn't looked closely at the TV screen, only curious why Tang Xinwan, who rarely watched TV, was doing so now.
Tang Xinwan was about to tell him her doubts, but seeing him without any clothes on, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and say, "Hurry up and put on some clothes! You're indecent!"
Ye Cangtian shrugged. Was he indecent just because he wasn't wearing a shirt? If he wasn't wearing pants, wouldn't she call him shameless and beastly?
...
The next day, Tang Xinwan left the hotel with Ye Cangtian early in the morning.
Starting today, she had to visit some old friends of the Tang family one by one, hoping to find some clues about her parents' disappearance from these acquaintances.
The Tang family had once been a scholarly family in the capital, so they naturally knew some high-ranking officials or smaller families.
Tang Xinwan's main goal this time was to visit the ladies of these families. Even if she couldn't find any clues about her parents' disappearance, maintaining relationships would also be beneficial for her company's future development in the capital.
Ye Cangtian was not interested in visiting people, especially after Tang Xinwan had lectured him about etiquette.
So, when Tang Xinwan went to visit people's homes, he would spend his time smoking in the neighborhood. Sudan Novel Network
This neighborhood was very upscale. When they arrived, Tang Xinwan had mentioned that it was one of the high-end residential areas in the capital. Everyone living there was either a high-ranking official or a wealthy person, and even some first-tier and second-tier celebrities lived there.
Rows of detached villas stood nearby, and expensive luxury cars were parked around them.
Ye Cangtian, smoking, ambled slowly along the tree-lined path, occasionally glancing at the elegantly dressed ladies who passed by.
Suddenly, his attention was caught by a villa.
What attracted him was not the luxury of the villa, but a black figure on the second-floor balcony, desperately climbing down using a rope made of a bedsheet.
The black figure was very slender. It turned out to be a female thief!
Ye Cangtian naturally assumed she was a thief. After all, who would climb down from a second-floor balcony instead of using the main entrance?
But this thief was too daring! How could she dare to commit a crime in broad daylight?
Ye Cangtian became interested. He leaned lazily against a fiery red Ferrari, blowing smoke rings and watching her with a half-smile.
He had seen female thieves before, but this was the first time he had seen one so young and slender.
Why did she look a bit familiar?
The female thief soon landed on the ground, seeming relieved, then turned and walked over happily, her demeanor very pleased.
The female thief walked towards Ye Cangtian. As she got closer, Ye Cangtian could finally see her face clearly.
"It's her!"
Ye Cangtian's expression was strange. Wasn't this female thief the woman in sunglasses from Quanjude last night who didn't pay and Tang Xinwan had to foot her bill?
Although she wasn't wearing sunglasses now, it didn't stop Ye Cangtian from recognizing her at a glance!
The female thief was still wearing a baseball cap, a casual hoodie, jeans, and a pair of sneakers. She could be considered a tasteful thief among thieves, Ye Cangtian thought to himself.
After all, a tasteless thief probably couldn't even get past the gate of this upscale neighborhood!
The 'female thief' clearly noticed someone in front of her and quickly put on her sunglasses.
When she saw Ye Cangtian next to the sports car, she froze.
Ye Cangtian remained silent, just smiling at her. He was amused, thinking that the female thief must have been stunned after being caught in the act by him.
"You, why are you here?" The female thief was clearly surprised, having apparently recognized Ye Cangtian as well.
Ye Cangtian still didn't speak, only smiling and nodding towards her, then giving a glance towards the adjacent villa.
They stared at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat eerie.
After a long moment, the 'female thief' gritted her teeth and accused, "Are you following me?"
Ye Cangtian chuckled and finally spoke, "Of course not. I was just passing by and accidentally saw something I shouldn't have!"
The 'female thief' was taken aback, then became nervous, "You saw everything?"
Ye Cangtian rolled his eyes. Wasn't that obvious?
The 'female thief' frowned. After thinking for two seconds, she took a deep breath and said, "Can you keep it a secret for me?"
Then she took out a wad of cash from her bag and handed some of it over.
Ye Cangtian waved his hand, "I don't accept stolen money!"
Since she had climbed out of the villa, her act of theft must have gone very smoothly, and she had probably stolen quite a bit of money from the owner's house. Now that she was discovered, she wanted to use some of it to buy his silence.
Ye Cangtian naturally wouldn't accept it. Not to mention that he wasn't interested in such a small amount of money, but this high-end community was equipped with comprehensive surveillance. If he were discovered, he might even end up in jail.
"Stolen money?" The 'female thief' was stunned. What stolen money?
