Chapter 265: Chapter 243: The Ginseng Doll is Stolen?

Lin Xiaoxiao spoke up, and with Li Chen standing by her side, those hooligans just looked dumbfounded.

"Well? Aren’t you going to start?" Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, looking like a tiny tigress, while Li Chen also hummed indifferently at their side.

Left with no choice, the hooligans had to go up, and what the nearby crowd witnessed next was an incredibly hilarious scene.

The hooligans clumsily twisted on the dance machine, making such a funny spectacle of themselves that it was almost too much.

The surrounding crowd burst into boisterous laughter, Brother Liang and his group felt like they wanted to die, having lost all face that day.

Of course, Lin Xiaoxiao wasn’t about to let these thugs off easily, not when she still had plenty of Game Coins. She was determined to torment them until they cried.

In the midst of the laughter, the hooligans finally lost enough face, and only after Lin Xiaoxiao had her fill of fun did she let them leave.

Afterward, Lin Xiaoxiao and her two friends continued to play for a while before planning to head back.

The three of them stepped into the elevator, which started descending slowly.

Lin Xiaoxiao was beside herself with joy, discussing the day’s events, while Manman looked at Li Chen with unabashed admiration.

God, he really was too cool. If he wasn’t Lin Xiaoxiao’s brother-in-law, she would definitely have pursued him.

"Manman, why are you staring at my brother-in-law like that?" Lin Xiaoxiao teased. "Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for my brother-in-law?"

"No way." After being called out by Lin Xiaoxiao, Manman blushed. It was a joke; Li Chen was Lin Xiaoxiao’s brother-in-law, could she even entertain such thoughts?

"It’s okay, my brother-in-law is quite lecherous, maybe if you tempt him, it might just work," Lin Xiaoxiao said, giggling and chuckling.

At that comment, Manman’s face turned even redder, while Li Chen was the picture of gloom: "Xiaoxiao, am I really that kind of person?"

"And how are you not?" Lin Xiaoxiao snorted. "Don’t forget the way you looked at me before, it was totally inappropriate."

Li Chen felt extremely vexed. Damn, wasn’t that because you, my little sister-in-law, jumped on me and used the bury-chest tactic first, and made me succumb?

Manman watched as Li Chen looked crestfallen and couldn’t help giggling quietly. Just at that moment, there was a sudden power outage in the elevator, which stopped abruptly.

This scared Lin Xiaoxiao and Manman quite a bit, with Lin Xiaoxiao letting out a loud "ah" in alarm.

"Hey, what are you screaming for?" Li Chen was annoyed. It was just a power outage; what was there to be scared of?

"I’m afraid of the dark," Lin Xiaoxiao yelled back, which almost made Li Chen laugh.

However, right after that, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately grabbed onto Li Chen’s arm.

Manman also wanted to hold on, but she hesitated out of concern for appearances.

"Brother-in-law, do you think this elevator could suddenly drop, and then we’d all die?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked, and her words scared Manman even more. At that moment, the elevator shook once more, looking like it might indeed plummet at any second.

Now truly scared, Manman threw herself into Li Chen’s arms.

Feeling how frightened Manman was, Li Chen was speechless and could only try to comfort both of them.

"It’s fine, even if the elevator really were to fall, we’d be okay."

"Brother-in-law, what kind of thing is that to say? Do you actually hope we’ll fall?" Lin Xiaoxiao said, and then placed Li Chen’s hand on herself for an added sense of security.

Li Chen was in a funk, "Damn it, I was just saying normal stuff here."

However, feeling the two girls clinging to him in his arms, Li Chen was quite pleased.

To his side was Lin Xiaoxiao, and in his arms was Manman, their exquisite figures pressing tightly against him, which was incredibly satisfying.

But, the elevator soon returned to normal, which Li Chen inwardly regretted.

After they got out, Manman wanted to go back, and Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t plan on spending the night at Lin Yi’s place either but intended to return to school.

After saying their goodbyes, Li Chen went back to the villa alone.

Just as he arrived at the villa, his phone rang.

It was a call from Zhong Tian.

"A Tian, what’s wrong?"

"Big, Big Brother, Ginseng Doll has been taken away," Zhong Tian’s speech was filled with weakness and urgency.

Taken away?

Li Chen was startled, what happened, how could the Ginseng Doll be taken away? With its underground escape skills, it should be very difficult to catch once it touches the ground, so why was it taken away?

Moreover, Ginseng Doll was always with Zhong Tian, who seldom went out, mostly practicing, and generally, it was unlikely that anyone would know about it.

"Wait for me, I’ll be right there."

But Li Chen had to go immediately, he frowned, sensing a bit of an ominous premonition. The Ginseng Doll was no common creature, and he felt the perpetrator specifically targeted it and even had a way to capture it; otherwise, it would be impossible to do so because he, himself, had previously struggled to keep up with the Ginseng Doll’s speed.

All of these gave Li Chen a bad feeling.

Rushing to Zhong Tian’s place, he pushed open the door only to find Zhong Tian lying on the bed, unable to move, with his eyes half-open as if they might close at any moment, and his phone scattered beside him.

"What happened to you?" Li Chen approached quickly and promptly checked Zhong Tian’s pulse, feeling that everything was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon examining, Li Chen discovered a tranquilizer dart sticking out of Zhong Tian’s body.

Having removed the tranquilizer dart, Li Chen’s frown deepened, there was no doubt the other party had premeditated, they even knew how to tranquilize Zhong Tian.

"Big Brother, I, I failed to protect it," Zhong Tian said sadly.

"It’s okay, leave the rest to me," Li Chen said with a slight smile, telling Zhong Tian to rest well, and after thinking for a while, he made a call to Yu Yueying.

With no clues in the room and wanting to catch the perpetrator seemed like a fool’s dream, now there was only one way, and that was to contact Yu Yueying.

He asked Yu Yueying to check the surveillance, hoping to catch the people through the cameras, and by following the trail, there might be a chance.

"What do you want?" Yu Yueying’s voice was extremely cold; she hadn’t forgotten how Li Chen teased her this morning.

"It’s something serious, help me check the surveillance for Shuiyuan Residence No. 73, I’ve got an emergency," Li Chen spoke earnestly, "I need to see who has come out from there just now, it’s very important to me."

After a pause, the other side spoke faintly, "Wait."

Yu Yueying was someone who had a clear grasp of right and wrong; when it came to critical moments, she wouldn’t hesitate to help Li Chen. It could be said that her relationship with Li Chen was somewhat delicate, definitely friends, but to cross that line, there was still something lacking.
