Chapter 18: Main Quest 1 - The Truth Revealed

"What are you saying, Xiaoxin!" Xiaotong couldn't bear to listen to Xiaoxin shouting like that any longer and gave her a good wallop, causing Xiaoxin to clutch her head in pain.

"I was just helping you, Second Sister! It hurts so much, I don't care anymore!" With that, Xiaoxin ran off in a huff, shooting a glare at Li Yalin before leaving. Why is it always my fault? Li Yalin was speechless for a moment.

"You guys..." Shengu finally realized what was going on. It seemed he had walked right into a trap, or rather, a cat's den. No, it should be a cat's den. But regardless of what kind of den it was, today he was in deep trouble. Who asked him to be a black rat?

"Alright, what do you want?" Dejected, Shengu sat down in a chair in front of the bar. He had the look of someone who had surrendered.

"We don't want anything, we just want to get to know each other. After all, we're all colleagues, and we might need to help each other in the future." Li Yalin finally spoke up with a smile, employing the age-old tactic of mixing praise with criticism, which worked like a charm on a black rat.

"Is it that simple?" Shengu was somewhat incredulous. In fact, the simpler it seemed, the more Shengu's mind raced. In such a case, it would be better to extort him properly. At least that way, Shengu would still have some dignity left in his heart, rather than being so passive as he was now.

"Of course it's that simple. Besides, we really want to be friends with Mr. Shengu. Perhaps in the future, when we're in trouble, Mr. Shengu might be able to help us." Li Yalin's expression was sincere, making it impossible for Shengu to detect any flaws.

For this expression, Li Yalin had practiced in front of the mirror for a long time last night. Li Yalin could confidently say that even if Little Tears were standing in front of him, he would still be able to deceive her.

"In that case, what about this photo?" Shengu's words were hesitant, and his gaze was fixed on the photo in Li Yalin's hand.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shengu, I'll handle everything discreetly." With that, Li Yalin slipped the photo into Shengu's jacket pocket, reassuring him.

"In that case, thank you. If Mr. Li and Miss Xiaotong need anything, please feel free to ask." Although he wanted to ask about the negatives, Shengu knew that asking would only make him look foolish. So after a few polite words, he hurriedly left the Cat's Eye Café.

"Haha, it's funny to see him like that." After Shengu ran away, Little Tears and Tears, who had been hiding and watching from behind, came out laughing, especially Tears. She admired Li Yalin very much. Big Brother's acting was really good.

"Now this black rat is our number one cannon fodder. Little Tears, if we need someone to run errands in the future, just find this guy. He's perfect for taking the blame." With one sentence, Li Yalin doomed Shengu to a tragic fate as cannon fodder in the future. Of course, this guy was mostly willing. After all, why were the three sisters from the Reincarnation family all so beautiful? But it was precisely this willingness that made his situation even more pitiful.

Another period of calm passed. During this time, Li Yalin wasted no time. Apart from working in the café, he spent the rest of his time absorbing various knowledge and increasing his strength.

Although Xiaotong felt sorry for Li Yalin's desperate look, she could only silently support him from behind. The kiss last time had broken through the last barrier between Xiaotong and Li Yalin, and now Xiaotong officially considered herself Li Yalin's girlfriend!

Since she was his girlfriend, Xiaotong had to think more for Li Yalin. After all, that so-called godhood game sounded very dangerous, and every bit of strength she gained would be an extra guarantee for Li Yalin to complete his tasks in the future.

"So, this guy is our target next." One day, Little Tears placed a file in front of everyone. A new mission had arrived? Li Yalin picked up the file and began to read it carefully.

The target specified by Little Tears this time was the famous painting "The Camellia Lady," which was collected by a guy named Seguchi. This Seguchi was a big shot in both politics and finance. He was ruthless and cunning, but on the surface, he appeared righteous. He often engaged in face-saving projects and charity auctions, and was a darling of the media.

But this guy was one of the perpetrators who had persecuted Xiaotong's father, Heinze, many years ago. Although he was just a small fry, Li Yalin could be sure that this guy could definitely lead them to a big fish.

Enemy identified, main quest initiated...

Main Quest 1 - The Truth Revealed: Find evidence and bring Seguchi to justice! Steal the paintings "The Camellia Lady" and "The Valkyrie." Mission reward: 2000 game points, skill store unlocked.

After reading all the information, Li Yalin's main quest unexpectedly started. This was something Li Yalin hadn't expected before, but it was also good. Two thousand game points and a skill store? This time, he really should give it his all!

"According to the intelligence, 'The Camellia Lady' is hidden in a secret room in Seguchi's villa. Unfortunately, we haven't figured out the location of the secret room yet, so we'll have to improvise when the time comes." At this point, Tears wore a regretful expression on her face.

"Isn't this already very powerful?" Li Yalin looked at Tears speechlessly. How much of a perfectionist are you?

"But Seguchi's villa is heavily guarded. We should send a notice first to see how they react." After looking at the information in front of her, Xiaotong pondered for a moment before expressing her thoughts.

"Indeed, observing is a good idea." Li Yalin agreed with this very much. Although he couldn't be called an onlooker, it was healthier to occasionally mind his own business.

So a new notice was sent to the Inumaru Police Station, and this time Junfu became a busy man again, rushing around for the reappearance of Cat's Eye.

However, this time Junfu encountered a considerable setback. When he arrived at Seguchi's house, Seguchi insisted that he didn't have "The Camellia Lady" and drove Junfu out of the villa, much to Junfu's puzzlement.

Of course, Junfu didn't give up. Seguchi's refusal puzzled him, and he began to wonder what secrets lay hidden behind it. In order to find the answer, on the night indicated by the notice, Junfu, along with his subordinates, began to take action.

Brothers and sisters, tickets, collections~~~~~
