Bab 4: Chapter 4
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"I went to Sleepless City last night, had a few drinks, and stayed over at a friend's place."
Jiang Moxi's heart nearly stopped, feeling that the man seemed to have already glimpsed that she had done something utterly unforgivable last night.
"Uncle, what do you suspect me of?"
"Nothing, you're overthinking it."
The man unexpectedly gave Jiang Moxi another look.
Seeing her in overalls, she looked bloated and uninteresting.
This face with makeup thicker than a city wall, eyeliner thicker than her brows, completely failed to relate to the word 'beauty'.
But the woman from last night was delicate and absolutely worthy of the term 'stunner'.
So, it couldn't have been her.
The reason he suspected her was that he had beaten Ye Chen to a point where everything other than his face was unrecognizable, and Ye Chen couldn't say who the woman was last night.
According to him, he had found a woman for Fu Youhan last night, but the woman waited all night in the prearranged private room and no one showed up.
So, Fu Youhan had Chi Jing look for someone.
But according to Chi Jing's investigation, about five hundred women entered Sleepless City last night, with only about ten reaching the VIP floor.
There were only three without companions, including Jiang Moxi.
That was why he had asked her, but after asking, he felt he was overthinking it.
Fu Youhan didn't ask further, and afterwards, the two didn't communicate at all, until Fu Youhan dropped her off at the bus stop at the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Moxi barely got out of the car and didn't even have time to say thanks before Fu Youhan's car sped away.
Watching the car disappearing into the distance, Jiang Moxi's hanging heart returned to its place...
*
On the other end, after Jiang Moxi got out of the car, Chi Jing, through the rearview mirror, saw Fu Youhan with a slight frown, tidying up the newspaper on the back seat.
Only when he had neatly stacked the newspapers, and the crease in his brow had smoothed out, did Chi Jing begin to report the latest progress of the investigation.
"Third Young Master, all surveillance from Sleepless City after midnight is gone."
Fu Youhan's gaze darkened: "Didn't you say it was still there when you retrieved it this morning?"
"Yes, but when I checked again just now, it was all gone. Even the copies we made before have vanished without a trace."
Chi Jing also said, "The technicians said that it closely resembles the handiwork of Hacker X."
"Hacker X?" Fu Youhan's sharp eagle-like gaze suddenly grew a bit hazy.
Hacker X was once a legend in the hacker world, and his name is still at the top of the hacker forum leaderboards to this day.
He once had a friend-and-foe relationship with Hacker X, and even added Hacker X as a game friend and tried to meet him in person.
But once that invitation was sent out, Hacker X seemed to vanish from this world.
But it has been so long since he's last received any news about Hacker X.
Because four years ago, Hacker X suddenly disappeared.
The hacker community speculated that maybe Hacker X was no longer in this world.
"It shouldn't be him."
Not to mention that Hacker X's whereabouts are unknown, just from what Fu Youhan knew about him, the person only dealt with international big jobs; how could such a trifle be worthy of his involvement?
Seeing Fu Youhan so definite, Chi Jing directly skipped over this topic:
"The surveillance here is gone, so the technicians caught from the opposite side of the road. They found only a woman named An Xueluo who matched the timeframe and came out from Sleepless City."
"Where is she now?"
"She's doing a part-time job at a Western restaurant named Starlight."
Half an hour later, Fu Youhan arrived at the Western restaurant and saw An Xueluo through the glass windows of the restaurant.
She wore a pure white long dress, her hair draped over her shoulders, sitting at a black piano, playing for the restaurant's guests.
Her makeup was exquisite, she looked pure and innocent, with a good temperament as well.
The moment Fu Youhan entered, the entire restaurant went as quiet as if one could hear a pin drop.
Because this man was strikingly handsome, especially his inimitable nobility and aura, that even seated in a wheelchair, he commanded attention like a king.
Everything seemed to hit the pause button, everyone looked towards him, including An Xueluo who was playing the piano.
A few minutes later, An Xueluo was arranged to sit at Fu Youhan's booth.
This was her first time seeing Fu Youhan up close, and even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, his presence made her feel quite short standing up.
"Was it you last night?" the man asked coldly.
