Seeing that Li Zhonglou had already spoken, Yue Hai sighed and nodded in agreement.
"Then let's find a hotel to stay first."
This task was naturally left to the third brother.
Their convoy had been operating in Shangjing for so many years that they were intimately familiar with these areas. Finding a comfortable and safe hotel was as easy as drinking water for the third brother.
However, after they had booked the rooms, Chen Peiyue suddenly proposed they go out together.
"Shouldn't I go?"
Li Zhonglou wanted to separate from them to act independently, but Chen Peiyue insisted, "Let's go together. You're their boss; if you don't go, what's the point?"
Li Zhonglou looked at Chen Peiyue with a hint of confusion. This reason might fool Yue Hai, but how could it possibly fool him? Yet, he couldn't figure out her intentions.
Since Chen Peiyue was crucial to resolving the issues with Sun Corporation, and she was so insistent, Li Zhonglou found it difficult to refuse and could only reluctantly agree to her request.
Thus, the four of them tidied up briefly and headed to the commercial street not far from the hotel.
Yue Hai was initially excited. After all, his experiences were similar to Chen Peiyue's; neither had experienced much of the world's prosperity.
But he soon regretted it.
Shopping seemed to be a woman's innate talent. As soon as they arrived at the commercial street, Chen Peiyue became like a curious baby, looking at this and that, playing with this and eating that. The other three following her felt like they were enduring torture.
After all, men and women had different interests when it came to shopping.
An hour later, as Chen Peiyue walked into a clothing store for the nth time, Yue Hai, who was trailing behind her with five or six shopping bags, looked utterly dejected.
"Brother Li, is this what they call accompanying a woman shopping? Why does it feel like I'm being punished?"
Li Zhonglou smiled and shook his head. Being married, he understood Chen Peiyue's mindset and had plenty of experience with women shopping. Compared to Yue Hai, this level was still within his tolerance.
However, to his surprise, the third brother also lacked experience in this regard.
"Boss, why don't we find an excuse to have some free time?"
"Then what excuse do you think we should use?"
The third brother thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
"How about we take her to the cinema? It will definitely be safe in there. We can find a long movie, and then we can sneak out?"
As soon as he said this, even Li Zhonglou's eyes sparkled.
Although it was still within his tolerance, it was genuinely boring!
Li Zhonglou immediately made the decision, "That's settled. Hurry, find one right now."
The third brother pulled out his phone and chuckled, "I'm good at this sort of thing, leave it to me!"
It's said that even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run. Having driven for so many years, the third brother had encountered all sorts of peculiar customers, and helping book hotels or movie tickets was not uncommon.
In less than five minutes, the third brother had chosen a film that was showing in ten minutes at the cinema in the adjacent mall, a film that lasted two hours.
"All done, boss!"
Li Zhonglou nodded and quickly walked into the clothing store, approaching Chen Peiyue, who was happily selecting clothes.
Deceiving and persuading young girls was something Li Zhonglou could do with ease. In less than two minutes, he successfully convinced Chen Peiyue to go to the cinema.
While on their way, Yue Hai asked softly with some confusion, "Brother Li, what is a cinema?"
Li Zhonglou was stunned for a moment, then realized that Yue Hai seemed to have no understanding of such things.
"You'll know when we get there. If you're interested later, you can watch it with her."
Yue Hai, who had been somewhat curious, immediately shook his head vigorously upon hearing that he might have to watch it with Chen Peiyue.
Are you kidding me!
Although he didn't know what plan the third brother had devised, he was very clear that the unified goal of the three of them now was to escape Chen Peiyue's torment!
He would have to be kicked by a donkey to want to watch a movie with her!
Even more outrageous, Yue Hai, perhaps fearing that he would genuinely be left behind at the cinema, slipped away under the guise of needing to use the restroom as they entered.
Li Zhonglou and the third brother, on the other hand, accompanied Chen Peiyue for a few minutes before finding an excuse to slip out.
As soon as they walked out of the cinema, both of them breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"Boss, I'll go explore then. See you in two hours?"
"Go ahead. Keep in touch and be safe."
Li Zhonglou waved. As soon as the third brother left, Yue Hai appeared from somewhere.
"Brother Li, where are we going to play?"
Li Zhonglou rolled his eyes at him, "Didn't you run off earlier?"
Yue Hai chuckled, "I don't know my way around; I was waiting for Brother Li to take me out."
"Let's grab something to eat first. This girl is always interested in those junk foods, and I haven't had a proper meal yet."
"Now that Brother Li mentions it, I'm suddenly feeling a bit hungry too."
Yue Hai rubbed his stomach. As a martial artist, his appetite was naturally large, and after his earlier encounter with Zhang Si, his energy consumption was naturally different from Chen Peiyue's.
However, before they went to find food, Li Zhonglou called the third brother who had just left, asking him where to find good local food nearby.
"Boss, you've asked the right person! Just down the alley to the left at the end of the commercial street, there's a genuine old duck stew. The price is fair, and the taste is absolutely amazing! Most of the customers I drove here before were heading there!"
"Should I come back and take you there?"
Li Zhonglou quickly replied, "No need. Go and enjoy yourself; you should relax after driving all day. I'll call you again if I can't find the place."
"Okay. Don't worry, that old shop isn't hard to find."
"Mhm."
After hanging up the phone, Li Zhonglou and Yue Hai left the mall and followed the third brother's directions to the end of the commercial street.
As expected, there was a small alley across the street.
Just then, at the end of the alley, a figure suddenly flashed by in a hurry, followed by several dark shadows.
Li Zhonglou's eyes narrowed immediately, "Xiao Hai, did you see that?"
Coincidentally, Yue Hai had also seen the scene just now, and his face was filled with coldness.
"I saw it. It's that guy!"
"It seems we won't be able to eat. Let's go."
Li Zhonglou glanced left and right at the vehicles, then quickly charged towards the alley, with Yue Hai naturally following close behind.
Upon entering the alley, Li Zhonglou immediately initiated a soul fusion with Ailin to track the figures.
The Heavenly Eye Perspective divine ability was activated.
"Follow me."
As soon as he spoke, Li Zhonglou's speed increased several times over!
