“What?”
Old Man Liu, like myself, wore a look of utter astonishment.
“Chen Chengbei is Chen Mazzi’s only son, and this young scoundrel has inherited all his father’s deplorable vices. He gambles, he drinks, he womanizes, he cheats—he’s a master of depravity. But his greatest talent lies in gambling. How did this young woman become entangled with Chen Chengbei?” Old Man Liu inquired.
His subordinate immediately responded, “The specifics are unclear. A young informant reported that yesterday morning he witnessed Aeliana, accompanied by several young men who had once received Ulfred’s benevolence, entering Chen Chengbei’s hotel. Chen Chengbei himself met them at the entrance. They haven’t emerged since…”
“Where is this hotel?” I immediately asked.
“It’s next to the bus station; it’s called the Chengbei Hotel!” the subordinate replied.
“Excellent, thank you!”
With that, I rose to my feet, preparing to depart for the bus station.
