    Intuitively, Lin Mujie felt that Wang Chenming's behavior today was somewhat abnormal. In a five-star hotel, how could the elevator break down so easily? What was he really doing by having two bodyguards follow me everywhere? Was he afraid of being robbed in the hotel? Even if he was robbed, he had no other valuable items on him except for a few bank cards.

    Lin Mujie's right eyelid suddenly twitched a few times, sending a message of potential anxiety and restlessness to him. Lin Mujie wondered: What happened to Lu Xiong? He's been gone for so long. He should have called if he wasn't coming back! Is he in trouble on the way to investigate the news? He's always been with me, and he doesn't usually have any enemies. No one should be troubling him. Besides, no one knows about my investigation into Wang Chenming and the others, not even my brother Lin Mufeng.

    This Lu Xiong, how can he be so troublesome? Lin Mujie couldn't help but feel irritated.

    Lin Mujie signaled for his bodyguards to let go. The two bodyguards looked at each other and nodded slightly. As soon as Lin Mujie's hand was released, he quickly walked into the bathroom and took out his phone to call his driver, Lu Xiong. As soon as the phone was connected, Lu Xiong's excited voice came through. Lu Xiong said that the matter had been settled and that he was already on his way back. Lin Mujie finally let out a sigh of relief.

    Lin Mujie was about to ask him where he was now, but at this very moment, Lu Xiong's phone went dead again. Lin Mujie waited for a while, but still no sound. He called again, and the voice prompt said that the other person's phone was turned off.

    When the phone was connected just now, Lu Xiong's tone was still normal and he said that the matter had been settled. However, why did the phone break off at this time? Lin Mujie couldn't figure it out.

    How can this brat turn off the phone? Tell him to take a spare battery with him when going out.

    Lin Mujie wanted to call his cousin Lin Mufeng, but thought that these two people were introduced by his cousin, which made him feel that he didn't have any independent thoughts, and later on, he would be made a fuss by Lin Mufeng and cause other problems. Thinking of this, Lin Mujie put the phone back in his pocket. When he came out of the bathroom, the elevator had been repaired, so Lin Mujie got up and said goodbye.

    Wang Chenming said with a little panic, "Mr. Lin, it's a rare opportunity to have you here today, but I didn't expect Mr. Qiu to get drunk so early today, and I didn't let you enjoy yourself. It's my fault. Next time I have time, I will be the host and apologize to Mr. Lin.

    "Mr. Wang, you are too kind!" Lin Mujie waved his hand and smiled.

    Wang Chenming looked at his watch and said, "It's still early. If you go home, it will take you almost an hour by car. Your driver hasn't returned yet. Would you like to go inside and have a cup of tea to sober up? Or would you like my staff to drive you home?

    Lin Mujie had been wary of Wang Chenming, but his words seemed reasonable. Yes, Lu Xiong hadn't come over, and he couldn't go back at the moment. Even if he asked someone else to drive him back now, what would he do when Lu Xiong came over? He couldn't just leave him and go back alone.

    Lin Mujie didn't want to directly refuse Wang Chenming's kindness, so he said, "Mr. Wang, you're too kind! Since we're friends now, there's no need to be too formal. I'll just wait here for my driver."

    So, with Wang Chenming leading the way, Lin Mujie followed him through a series of turns and into a luxurious VIP room. With a wave of his hand, Wang Chenming's entourage stopped neatly at the door of the room, and Lin Mujie followed him inside. Although Lin Mujie often visited five-star luxury hotels, he couldn't help but praise the arrangement of the Count Hotel. The VIP room was furnished in a magnificent and sumptuous style, like a palace, with various home furnishings that were extremely luxurious. As soon as he entered the room, a pungent fragrance hit his nostrils, a faint scent that seemed like flowers but he couldn't quite place which one, and it smelled comfortable. On the left wall of the door hung a huge half-naked (naked - a young girl stepping out of the bath painting. The girl was about twenty years old, with a graceful figure draped in a translucent shawl. Her undulating chest subtly revealed a pair of proud breast peaks, and her smoky eyes seemed to move vividly. The background behind the girl was a blue sky, and some of the stars in the pattern seemed to blink playfully. Obviously, these lights were controlled artificially, but Lin Mujie still marveled at such careful design.

    "Mr. Lin, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea to sober up and see how our hotel staff's tea art is?" Wang Chenming's face revealed a mysterious smile.

    Lin Mujie was concerned about Lu Xiong handling the matter and said, "This…… Mr. Wang, don't be too polite! I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time today. I have to leave when my driver comes, so let's save the tea tasting for another day?"

    "Don't worry, I'll have someone notify you immediately when your driver arrives! I'll just go give instructions, you can enjoy everything here," Wang Chenming said meaningfully, lowering his head and waving his hand to indicate "please help yourself."

    Lin Mujie was about to say something when Wang Chenming had already stepped out. As he walked to the door, he gently clapped his hands and then shut the door with a "bang".

    Lin Mujie was surprised to discover that the indoor lighting suddenly changed after the sound of the closing door, becoming more illusionary. A clear electronic music bell rang, and he saw that the background behind the girl's bathing scene on the wall was slowly moving. Accompanied by a gentle "squeaking" sound of friction, a set of green grass steps slowly rose from the floor in front of the painting screen. At this moment, the girl in the painting actually started moving her fingers along with the beat of the music. Lin Mujie doubted his eyes and was about to move forward to take a closer look. Suddenly, the music became more intense, and the lights in the painting gradually brightened again. The girl in the painting, lightly moving her steps like a fairy, slowly walked down from the painting screen. It turned out that she was actually a real person.

    Lin Mujie was stunned, watching as the young girl gracefully danced to the rapidly changing rhythm of the music. The delicate chiffon scarf draped over her shoulders began to rotate with her dance moves, and the brightly lit sequins adorning it sparkled under the multicolored lights. Lin Mujie was doubtful if he had actually drunk too much, as what he was seeing was both startling and remarkable. He had completely forgotten about waiting for his driver Lu Xiong.

    As the girl continued dancing, she moved closer and closer to Lin Mujie. Before he knew it, she had arrived right in front of him. It was then that Lin Mujie noticed that she was holding a set of exquisite and beautiful tea equipment in her hands. The girl bent down, performed a graceful curtsey, placed the tea equipment on the tea table, turned around, and with a lowered head, held the tea cup in front of Lin Mujie. Lin Mujie, still dazed, finally reached out to take the tea cup, but his eyes were fixed on the girl. Despite the dim lighting, he could still make out the outline of her undergarments through the thin layer of chiffon covering her private parts.

    The girl, aware of Lin Mujie's gaze, felt bashful and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him directly. Lin Mujie couldn't help but notice that the girl had a clear and beautiful complexion, and her whole body exuded a youthful vigor, like a budding white lotus flower.

    Lin Mujie felt his face turn red and his blood boil as he looked at her. His hand trembled slightly as he held the tea cup, causing some of the tea to spill out. He heard the girl let out a soft gasp and quickly retracted one of her hands. It was then that Lin Mujie realized that the tea was still quite hot. He quickly apologized and reached for a paper napkin on the tea table to help the girl clean up, but as soon as his hand touched her smooth skin, he felt awkward and withdrew it quickly.

    Seeing Lin Mujie's confused and clumsy state, the girl's bashful expression turned into a smile. She looked like a beautiful lily blossom in a mountain meadow. Lin Mujie found himself captivated by her beauty and felt a sense of wonder about how she had managed to bring the tea cup over without spilling it.

    "Sir, let me refill your cup for you!" The girl quickly turned around. Lin Mujie felt a light fragrance of lily flowers brush past his face.

    He felt his heart skip a beat and reached out to grab the girl's hand: "Sit down, talk with me!"

    The girl's face immediately turned red. Whether it was due to Lin Mujie's strong grip or for some other reason, the woman seemed to collapse weakly against him, sliding down his body. Lin Mujie was startled and quickly pushed her away. His long-maintained sense of caution helped him regain some clarity.

    "Who are you?" Lin Mujie asked in a stern voice.
