217 Spoiled Little Girl!
Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms
"What the hell happened? Why are you so flustered?"
Xiaoyao quickly stopped the fight with Chen. She started to put on a serious look. Everyone knew that Xiaoyao had put a lot of effort in this charity dinner. Thus, she will not allow anything to go wrong tonight.
"Kitchen…All the ingredients that we prepared earlier on have been sabotaged by someone!" The male worker said nervously.
"WHAT?!"
Xiaoyao’s face sank after she heard the news. She rushed to the kitchen immediately.
"It’s just some ingredients. What’s so big deal about it? We can just purchase them from the market, right?" Chen shrugged. He had no idea why Xiaoyao is so anxious about it.
"You have no idea…Those ingredients are not those ordinary ingredients that we can find in the wet market!"
The male worker’s face belonged to a corpse. He said worryingly, "Australia lobster, truffle from France, caviar, Kobe beef…All these ingredients were imported by air…It’s impossible to acquire them in Green Vine City!"
"Damn! Those are good stuff! Xiaoyao is such a prodigal girl! She shouldn’t have spent the money for charity on all these high-class ingredients! I should spank her later!" Chen pursed his lips and said.
"You have blamed her wrongly."
The male worker quickly explained, "Ms. Xiaoyao bought all these ingredients with her own savings. She did not touch the charity money at all!"
"I see…"
Chen was shocked, He knew that he had wronged Xiaoyao. He started to feel guilty when he thought of the effort that Xiaoyao had put in this charity dinner.
"Where is the kitchen? Lead the way…" Chen squinted. He started to get serious as well. It was a mess when he got to the kitchen. All the expensive ingredients were completely destroyed. They were all over the floor, stepped by someone. Xiaoyao was biting her lips angrily. Even her knuckles had started to turn pale due to the hard squeezing. Her face was filled with sadness and worry. She was sad because all her effort was all wasted. And, she was now worrying about where to get all these ingredients before the charity dinner starts. Without the ingredients, she would have to call the dinner off. Also, the quality of the dinner will drop greatly if she decides to buy some other ingredients to replace all these expensive ingredients.
"Don’t be sad…It’s not really a big deal…" Chen walked to Xiaoyao and consoled her.
"It’s easy for you to say! What are we going to do with our charity dinner now?!" Xiaoyao frowned and her eyes started to get teary. This disaster had a huge impact on her heart because God-knows how much time and money she had taken to prepare all these ingredients.
"Pumpkin, you said it yourself that this is our charity dinner. I think it’s time for you to sit back and relax. Just leave the rest for me to solve!" Chen lifted up his hand and brushed Xiaoyao’s hair.
"Eh?"
Xiaoyao felt different this time. She actually felt that she could totally rely on Chen to solve everything. She was even tempted to lean her head on Chen’s shoulder. Maybe, she really can leave everything to Chen. With this thought, all her stress was gone. She realized that her princess hairstyle was completely messed up by Chen when she finally calmed down. The way Chen brushed her hair is not a thing that a normal friend would do. Her face turned red immediately.
"Don’t mess up my hair! It took a long time for me to set it right!"
Xiaoyao pushed away Chen’s hand gently. Then, she asked, with her face blushing, "How are you planning to deal with this problem?"
"First, we need to catch the person who is responsible for this sabotage! Beat him up!" Chen raised his eyebrows and said.
"It’s not as simple as you think…I have talked to the security guard just now. He told me that he had not seen any suspicious individuals coming in just now. Also, the door was locked as well!" Xiaoyao said.
"Idiot!"
Chen pointed at the ventilation pipe above him and said, "There’s more than one entrance!"
"This guy is slick! These ventilation pipes can lead everywhere. Also, he has left for some time. How are you going to know the route he chose?" Xiaoyao asked curiously.
"I will have my way! Just watch me! I will get that son of the bitch!" Chen talked while jumping onto the stove. Then, he opened the ventilation cover and went into the piping system quickly.
"Be careful! I don’t want anything bad to happen to you!" Xiaoyao reminded Chen loudly. She will definitely go with Chen if she wasn’t wearing the gown. Shangri-La hotel is the biggest hotel in Green Vine City. There are at least thirty plus floors in this hotel. The piping system is even more complicated than an ant’s nest. A few minutes entering the piping system, Chen already saw a dozen of diverging paths. One will definitely get lost without a map, let alone catch the person who is responsible for the mess in the kitchen. The person might even have a hard time exiting this place.
"Hehe! Luckily, I have mastered true sound! Locating the asshole shouldn’t be a big problem for me!" Chen calmed himself down and started to pay attention to the sounds in piping system. Normally, there’s only the sound of airflow here. Thus, Chen can listen to the sound that didn’t belong here easily, especially the sound of footsteps.
"I found it!"
Chen beamed. He quickly headed to the direction where the sound came from. The enemy was way ahead of Chen, but the enemy needed to stop from time to time, to check on the map. Two minutes later, Chen managed to catch up with him.
"Who is that?!"
The skinny guy sensed some movement from behind him. He almost peed his pants.
"Uhhhuhh! Japanese!"
Chen raised his eyebrows. He could understand his language.
"Seems like Meichuan Neiku is the one who sent you here to sabotage us!" Chen asked with his fluent Japanese.
"You have no idea! I’m going to warn you, not to mind in the businesses of others! If not, you will die here!" The skinny guy stared at Chen without any fear.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Later phase of physical stage, Health: 1500, Combat power: 1500!]
Chen did not underestimate his enemy. He used his Netherspirit Battlescouter to analyze his enemy first. This guy is not some low-life thug. That’s why he had the balls to threaten Chen. Unfortunately, his combat power was merely a joke to Chen.
"You will soon know who will be the one that die here!"
Chen focused on his enemy, stomped on the ground and charge at his enemy.
"Such speed! It’s unbelievable for a youngster like you possesses such immense power! But, you are going to fall today because I’m your opponent!" The skinny guy roughly deduced Chen’s combat power. There was no fear in his eyes at all.
*Fussshhhh…*
The guy threw a black ball at Chen without any warning.
