The small inn was very crude.
There were more than ten simple rooms. Each had a small bed, a wooden table next to it with a plastic basin for washing and a thermos.
The Shaman sat on the small bed, lost in thought. How could a performance be staged in such a tiny room?
As he was pondering this, there was a knock on the door.
A heavily made-up woman poked her head in, her eyes filled with suggestive intent. She asked with a smile, "Handsome, I'm here to serve you. Do you think I'll do?"
"Is it for the performance? Yes, yes!"
Although the woman was average-looking and appeared to be around thirty or forty years old, the Shaman didn't mind. He was only there to watch the performance.
The woman walked in and placed her bag on the wooden table. The Shaman smiled and asked, "Sister, is it right here?"
"Yes, you can do it right here!"
"Can you even do it in such a small room? It seems you must have a special skill, Sister," the Shaman exclaimed in amazement.
"Hehe, I have many special skills! I'll be sure to satisfy you later."
The woman giggled, her alluring eyes looking at the Shaman suggestively, and then she began to unbutton her clothes.
Seeing this, the Shaman quickly stopped her, "Sister, what are you doing?"
"Taking off my clothes!"
"Do you need to take off your clothes to dance?"
"Of course, who would watch if you danced with your clothes on?" The woman rolled her eyes. Why was this slightly dark young man so clueless? Could this be his first time?
The woman asked impatiently, "Are you going to do it or not? It's sixty directly, plus thirty for the dance!"
The Shaman looked puzzled, feeling that something was not quite right.
However, driven by curiosity, he nodded, "Of course, I'm here to watch a dance!"
You're here specifically to watch a dance?
"Let's be clear, it's ninety in total. Whether you do anything after the dance or not, you'll still be charged this price!" The heavily made-up woman was speechless. She had never encountered anyone like him.
Soon, the woman continued unbuttoning her clothes.
Just as she was halfway undressed, hurried footsteps were heard from outside, and then the room door was kicked open with a bang.
Several police officers in uniform rushed in and sternly told them, "Both of you, hands on your heads, squat in the corner!"
The heavily made-up woman's face turned ashen when she saw the police officers bursting in.
The Shaman, on the other hand, was dumbfounded, his mouth slightly agape.
In Huaxia, was dancing illegal?
...
The next day!
As soon as Ye Cangtian finished getting up and washing, he went downstairs for breakfast and heard the sound of a car starting in the yard.
He glanced outside and saw that Tang Xinwan had already driven off.
"Alas, never offend a woman!"
Without needing to guess, he knew that Tang Xinwan was still angry with him, and she hadn't even offered him a ride to the company that morning.
Aunt Zhang came out of the kitchen and smiled upon hearing this, "Mr. Ye and Miss are having another disagreement? Miss's temper might be a bit bad at times, but she's a good person, and she's treated Mr. Ye exceptionally well."
Aunt Zhang had seen how worried Tang Xinwan was during Ye Cangtian's absence.
Especially since she had instructed her to tidy Ye Cangtian's room every day so that he wouldn't be uncomfortable when he returned.
Aunt Zhang, being someone who had experienced life, could see the affection between the young couple.
"She's indeed very good to me!" Ye Cangtian smiled and nodded.
Although this girl usually had a cold demeanor, she was actually a woman with a warm heart beneath her exterior.
...
After breakfast, Ye Cangtian took a taxi, but he didn't go directly to the company.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the police station.
He had made a discovery last night. If he wasn't mistaken, a Xuan-level expert had arrived in Yangzhou.
He didn't yet know the person's purpose or where they were hiding.
He wanted to use Xu Weiwei's help, leveraging the police's resources, to see if there were any clues.
He was practically a regular at the police station, so as soon as he walked into the lobby, an officer who recognized him greeted him.
He learned that Xu Weiwei wasn't in her office; she seemed to be interrogating the people arrested for soliciting prostitution last night.
Ye Cangtian quickly made his way to outside the interrogation room.
As soon as he approached the interrogation room door, he heard Xu Weiwei's furious voice from inside.
"Why is she so angry?" Ye Cangtian muttered.
Soon, the interrogation room door opened, and a furious Xu Weiwei walked out, with a wry-smiling Xiao Liu following behind her.
Xu Weiwei glanced at him without saying anything and went straight back to her office.
Ye Cangtian pulled Xiao Liu aside to inquire about the situation.
Xiao Liu said with a bitter smile, "It's really not a big deal. It's just that our colleagues from the bureau caught some people involved in illegal activities during a sweep last night, and one of them was a foreigner."
"This foreigner wasn't cooperative at all and couldn't speak Chinese fluently. The deputy chief came to the station personally this morning to interrogate him."
Xiao Liu's explanation finally made Ye Cangtian understand what was happening.
Xu Weiwei already had a volatile temper, and this foreigner refused to admit to spending the night with a prostitute, insisting he was only there to watch a dance performance.
The reason Xu Weiwei was so angry was that this guy talked too much. Not only did he refuse to confess, but he also babbled on incessantly, saying a lot of nonsense.
Even Xiao Liu, who was taking notes, had heard it so much that his ears had become calloused.
"Heh heh, there are people like that?" Ye Cangtian chuckled. However, hearing Xiao Liu's description, he was reminded of a particularly talkative person.
It shouldn't be the same person, but Ye Cangtian didn't think too much of it and casually asked, "How are these cases handled?"
Xiao Liu shrugged, "No choice. We can only educate them a bit and then let them go."
Soon, Xiao Liu went about his business.
Ye Cangtian went to Xu Weiwei's office. After thinking for a moment, he knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Ye Cangtian pushed the door open and walked in. Xu Weiwei looked up at him and said with some displeasure, "Why are you running around the police station for no reason? If you really like this place, I'll have Xiao Liu get you a badge!"
A badge? Wouldn't that mean being locked up for a few days?
Ye Cangtian pouted, sat on the sofa opposite the desk, and said with a smile, "Who says I have no reason? I'm here to ask for your help!"
"You trust our police?" Xu Weiwei looked skeptical.
This guy had always been a loner. When had he ever communicated with her before doing certain things?
Ye Cangtian said seriously, "Yes, I want you to help me investigate if there have been any suspicious individuals in Yangzhou recently, perhaps someone wearing a mask."
Xu Weiwei frowned.
Ten minutes later, Xu Weiwei led Ye Cangtian to the lobby and instructed them to screen all surveillance cameras in Yangzhou City.
Just as Ye Cangtian was marveling at how advanced technology had become, he saw a familiar figure walking out of the corridor towards the interrogation rooms.
"Wow, it really is him!" Ye Cangtian couldn't help but be stunned.
That talkative foreigner Xiao Liu mentioned earlier turned out to be the Shaman!
