Chapter 362: Chapter 339: I Came in to See if There Were Any Thieves

After getting off the plane, Li Chen and his two companions, Wang Qianqian and another, made their way to the hotel. Selina came over to give Li Chen a hug and with a slight smile, said, "Let’s keep in touch when there’s a chance."

Upon seeing Selina leave, Lin Xiaoxiao snorted, "Qianqian, toss the stuff to him."

Having said that, she immediately set all the bags and suitcases on the ground. While Wang Qianqian hesitated, Lin Xiaoxiao pulled her along, and they headed forward.

Li Chen forced a smile. This Xiaoxiao, well, there was no helping it; he had no choice but to pick up their bags and suitcases and follow behind Lin Xiaoxiao.

It didn’t take long before he caught up to Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, have a little pity on me," Li Chen said, also feeling speechless. He was pulling two suitcases and had two bags slung over himself, which was really quite a sight.

"Are you telling me that a big hero like you can’t even handle this little bit?" Lin Xiaoxiao snorted. Wang Qianqian felt somewhat sorry for him, "Brother Cheen, let me help you."

"Hey, Qianqian, don’t bother with him; he’s just pretending. You could give him ten more suitcases and he’d carry them just fine," Lin Xiaoxiao said.

Li Chen was even more frustrated. Since when had Xiaoxiao become so sharp?

"Xiaoxiao, that’s not the right thing to say. This isn’t my stuff we’re talking about. It’s like the difficulties you encounter on the road of life; I can help you share them, but not bear them for you," Li Chen argued confidently.

"So what will it be, will you carry them or not?" Lin Xiaoxiao said threateningly, "If you won’t, then I’ll just tell Lin Yi..."

"I’ll take them, definitely! Xiaoxiao, if you have anything else, just hand it all over to me," Li Chen said.

Wang Qianqian nearly burst out laughing, while Lin Xiaoxiao snorted. Bringing up Lin Yi seemed to be more effective with each passing day.

But Li Chen just curled his lip. If Qianqian weren’t here, would I comply?

The three of them got into a taxi and headed for the hotel they had booked.

Before long, they arrived at the hotel. The rooms, including the plane tickets, had been booked in advance.

They all had rooms on the seventh floor. Li Chen was by himself in a single room, while Wang Qianqian and Lin Xiaoxiao shared a room.

However, the rooms were quite large and spacious. Lin Xiaoxiao had high standards and, after all, they had 500,000 for the trip; money was meant to be spent.

As the two girls entered the room, Li Chen stood at the door, watching Lin Xiaoxiao snort at him before entering, while Wang Qianqian gave him a comforting smile.

Before Wang Qianqian could say anything, Lin Xiaoxiao pulled her inside and then shut the door.

Li Chen watched the two girls go in, looking dejected, but soon after, he smirked. Did you think closing the door would do any good?

He arrived at Lin Xiaoxiao’s door. The hotel doors required a key card to open, but that was not an issue for Li Chen, who could quietly unlock it using his True Qi.

He pressed his ear against the door and listened. The two girls seemed to be chatting inside.

Li Chen listened carefully, bringing his True Qi and hearing to their limits, then blinked in disbelief. He wasn’t mistaken—that rustling sound was definitely the sound of clothes being shed.

The two girls, shedding their clothes—what were they up to?

Suddenly, Li Chen felt a rush of excitement.

Li Chen took a deep breath, then quietly opened the door with his True Qi, sneaking in on tiptoes. But upon entering, he saw no one in the room.

Li Chen was taken aback, then took a few more steps inside. At that moment, silhouettes appeared from the bathroom.

Damn!

Li Chen’s eyes widened in astonishment.

It was clear that Lin Xiaoxiao and the other girl were taking a bath together!

Li Chen’s heart was racing, but he managed to stay calm, creeping closer to get a peek into the bathroom.

The bathroom door wasn’t shut tightly, probably due to Lin Xiaoxiao’s carelessness, which granted Li Chen a narrow opportunity.

Meanwhile, inside the bathroom, the two girls were oblivious to the fact that there was now an extra person in the room.

"Qianqian, you have such a nice figure," Lin Xiaoxiao praised.

Both girls were in the bath, surrounded by lots of bubbles, but just then, Lin Xiaoxiao nearly exposed herself.

Gulp!

Li Chen swallowed hard.

"Xiaoxiao, you’re not bad yourself," Wang Qianqian giggled.

The conversation between the two girls became more and more uninhibited as it progressed.

Li Chen’s eyes went straight, and he couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.

"Move over a bit, move over a bit..." Li Chen murmured, his eyes glued to the two girls.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Wang Qianqian were playing around and stood up as well.

Unfortunately, all he could see was their side.

"Turn around, turn around!" Li Chen silently pleaded.

Li Chen couldn’t help but let out a wail of frustration, damn it, just turn around and let me have a look, will you?

At this moment, the two girls were obviously done bathing and came out of the bath.

Seeing the girls finished with their bath, Li Chen realized it was time to leave. Just as he thought about leaving, Lin Xiaoxiao happened to look up and saw Li Chen peeking through the crack in the door.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiaoxiao clutched her bath towel tightly to herself, then shouted loudly, "Who’s there?"

At her shout, Wang Qianqian got startled too. There was someone else in the room?

Both girls quickly wrapped themselves in bath towels, while Li Chen outside was taken aback – he had been discovered?

No good, I’ve got to get out of here!

With that thought in mind, Li Chen wanted to run, but suddenly, Lin Xiaoxiao had opened the bathroom door, instantly spotting Li Chen.

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, but then she got angry. Was her brother-in-law peeping at her while she was bathing again?

Wang Qianqian who stepped out was also taken aback, then her face flushed with embarrassment. Brother Cheen, how could you do this? Couldn’t you have just told me?

Huh, but that didn’t seem quite right either.

Li Chen also stood there, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He turned his head to see Lin Xiaoxiao and Wang Qianqian and reluctantly smiled, but his mind was racing to come up with a plan.

What excuse should I use, what excuse?

"You were spying on us taking a bath?" Lin Xiaoxiao’s tone was clearly hostile.

"Xiaoxiao, what kind of person do you take me for? Am I that kind of person?" However, to Xiaoxiao’s surprise, Li Chen slapped his chest loudly and protested.

This caught Lin Xiaoxiao off guard, but she immediately snorted, "Aren’t you exactly that kind of person?"

"Xiaoxiao, you’ve wronged me. I came in to check for thieves!" Li Chen declared righteously.

Wang Qianqian blushed; Brother Cheen’s excuse was really lame.

"I think you’re the thief," said Lin Xiaoxiao.

"This time I really did come in here looking for a thief," Li Chen insisted with serious expression. "The person is an expert. Earlier, when I was inside a room, I heard very light footsteps that stopped right outside your room."

Seeing Li Chen’s grave face, Lin Xiaoxiao was taken aback. Her brother-in-law’s serious demeanor didn’t seem fake, and with his skills, he truly was formidable.

"After stopping outside your room, they disappeared, and I immediately rushed out to check and saw your door closed. So, the thief must have targeted your room!" Li Chen concluded.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qianqian was startled, and fearfully glanced around, while confusion clouded Lin Xiaoxiao’s gaze.

"Alright, Xiaoxiao, you two stand here, I’ll go and check if the thief is still around," Li Chen said, then started meticulously searching every corner of the two-room suite.

Watching Li Chen’s serious demeanor, the confusion in Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes grew more intense.

"He’s gone!"

Suddenly, Li Chen’s voice rang out. The two girls went over and saw the window in the other room was open.

Li Chen took a deep breath. "The person is skilled. If I hadn’t arrived just in time, you both could have been in danger."

"Then Brother Cheen, what do we do from now on?" Wang Qianqian wholeheartedly believed Li Chen’s words and started to panic.

"No worries, from today on, I’ll be watching over the surroundings. Nothing will happen with Brother Cheen here," Li Chen pledged firmly.

"Okay, Xiaoxiao, Qianqian, you two go change your clothes, I’ll go take a bath over there," Li Chen said and then walked out. As soon as he had his back to the girls, his face broke into a sly grin; Xiaoxiao was still too naïve.

Lin Xiaoxiao watched Li Chen leave, the suspicion in her eyes deepening. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, something wasn’t right. Even if he really came in to catch a thief, what was up with him staring at the bathroom?

In an instant, Lin Xiaoxiao realized her attention had been diverted!

"Stop right there!"

Lin Xiaoxiao’s angry shout came from behind him. Li Chen jumped in fright, damn it, the game was up already, he had to run!
