Chapter 167 Shifting the Blame Eastward

"Who is it?" Wang Yue asked.

A woman's voice came from outside the door, "Open the door."

Wang Yue frowned, then said, "He's already asleep. Don't disturb us if it's nothing."

The woman still knocked relentlessly, "It's something, please open the door."

Qiao Zixuan looked at Wang Yue, then said, "Why don't we open the door and ask what it is?"

Wang Yue had no choice but to get out of bed, walk to the door, and open it.

When the door opened, a girl he had never seen before stood outside. She was, to put it mildly, very ordinary.

"Handsome guy, help me out, my toilet is clogged," the woman said, her eyes lighting up when she saw Wang Yue.

"If your toilet is clogged, find the hotel owner. Why are you looking for me?" Wang Yue asked, bewildered.

"Oh, come on, I'm on the same floor as you. Just help me out," the woman pleaded.

"No can do." With that, Wang Yue closed the door.

The woman, having been shut out, was a bit stunned. She had actually been refused? She knew that no man had ever been able to resist her charms when she acted cute. Had her allure diminished?

Wang Yue lay back down on the bed. Qiao Zixuan curiously asked, "Who was it?"

"A woman. She said her toilet was clogged and asked me to help her unclog it. Isn't that crazy?" Wang Yue said, exasperated.

"Hahaha, perhaps she took a liking to your good looks and said that on purpose?" Qiao Zixuan teased.

"It's not impossible, which is why I say men must protect themselves when they're out and about," Wang Yue replied with a smile.

"Hmph~" Qiao Zixuan rolled her eyes.

In another room, the woman who had just knocked was with Wang Rongxiao.

"I can't help it, that handsome guy wouldn't help me. Boss, you'll have to find someone else," the woman said to Wang Rongxiao.

"You can't even lure him out. What's the use of you?" Wang Rongxiao said with frustration, as if she were a disappointment.

"I just can't. You should find someone else," the woman retorted, rolling her eyes. She thought, *You're giving me five hundred yuan and acting like a big shot?*

Wang Rongxiao said irritably, "If I could find someone else, why would I be looking for you?" He then sat down and began to ponder.

After a few minutes, the woman yawned, "Boss, are you going to do anything or not? If not, hurry up and leave, I need to sleep."

"I have an idea." Wang Rongxiao's eyes lit up. He then said to the woman, "Do as I say next."

Wang Yue and Qiao Zixuan were chatting happily when suddenly there was a knock on the door again.

"Who is it this time?" Qiao Zixuan asked curiously.

"Who?" Wang Yue was already getting impatient.

"It's me again, handsome guy." The woman's voice came from outside the door.

"Didn't I tell you to find the boss for unclogging toilets? Can't you stop bothering us?" Wang Yue said.

"It's not about the toilet. Boss, someone is looking for you downstairs," the woman said.

"Looking for me?" Wang Yue was a little confused, then asked, "Do you know my name? How did you know it was me they were looking for?"

"Uh..." The woman outside the door paused, thinking, *This stupid boss didn't even tell me his name. How am I supposed to make something up?* So, she simply bluffed, "The person just said they were looking for a handsome guy. I thought the only one who could be called handsome in this hotel was you. Anyway, you should go down and see, they seem to be in a hurry."

"Crazy." Wang Yue muttered. He wasn't going to put on his clothes and go downstairs again. In this chilly weather, it was much more comfortable to stay in bed.

"Da Yue Yue, that woman is looking for you repeatedly. She must be interested in you," Qiao Zixuan analyzed.

"When something is unusual, there's bound to be a demon behind it. She keeps asking me to go out, so she must have some plan," Wang Yue said with a yawn. "Alright, let's go to sleep. Anyway, I'm not going out, so her plan won't go anywhere."

"Okay." Qiao Zixuan nodded.

The woman waited outside the room for half an hour. Seeing no reaction from inside, she knew her plan had failed. She returned to her room.

Wang Rongxiao saw the woman return alone and quickly asked, "Did it work?"

The woman rolled her eyes, "It didn't work at all. He's not interested. Besides, boss, you don't even know the guy's name. That's the biggest flaw."

"Damn it!" Wang Rongxiao sat up in bed and said with frustration, "You're truly useless."

"Then find someone useful and stop bothering me," the woman said, ushering him out.

Wang Rongxiao left the room feeling annoyed. His plan had been like hitting cotton, with nowhere to exert his force. Why was this kid so sharp? Thinking this, Wang Rongxiao left the hotel and wandered the streets. He couldn't sleep anyway. Thinking about how his tour group's reputation was ruined, and the fact that he had no chance to get close to Qiao Zixuan, he couldn't sleep.

In the Tibetan plateau at night, there were very few streetlights. Wang Rongxiao wandered the streets like a wandering ghost. Just then, he saw several burly men walking towards him. Wang Rongxiao instinctively tried to avoid them, but they walked directly up to him.

"Outsider?" The leader was a muscular man.

"What do you want?" Wang Rongxiao asked, frowning.

"Slap!" The response was a slap. Then Wang Rongxiao was dragged by his hair into a small alley.

"What do you want?" Wang Rongxiao said in horror.

"Peh! Acting all cool this late at night, wearing sunglasses. I can't stand pretentious people." The burly man confiscated Wang Rongxiao's sunglasses and then slapped him again. Wang Rongxiao was stunned. *What have I done to deserve this?*

The other men quickly searched Wang Rongxiao.

"Damn, boss, this guy's loaded. He's got several thousand yuan in his wallet." Another man said.

The leader grinned, "Kid, you've got some money, huh? We're short on cash lately. You won't report us, will you?" As he spoke, he pulled out a small knife and waved it around.

"I wouldn't dare. This is just for you, big brother," Wang Rongxiao said, suppressing his fear.

"Smart kid," the burly man said, then slapped him again. "Let's go, brothers."

"Wait!" Just then, Wang Rongxiao called out.

"What? Is there something else?" The burly man looked at Wang Rongxiao threateningly.

"Big brother, I know there's another kid in our tour group who's particularly rich. If you rob him, you won't have to worry about food and drink for the next few years," Wang Rongxiao said.

"Oh?" The burly man's interest was piqued. "How rich? Does he have tens of thousands of yuan in his bag?"
