Chapter: 3057

Chen Zekai looked embarrassed and quickly apologized: "Oh no, Mr. Mackee, I'm really very sorry. I'm also shocked that our hotel would do such a thing. To be honest, this is the first time anything like this has happened since our hotel opened..."

Saying that, he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Mackee, don't you think your family heirloom might be very valuable? Could it be that someone has been deliberately targeting your family heirloom to steal?"

Chen Zekai's words immediately kicked the ball to Mackee's feet.

This was exactly what Leaf taught him.

Using Leaf's words, this trick is called "Reversal of Calamity".

You're questioning me? Okay, I'll just turn it around and question you instead.

You criticize our security here as being poor, so I'll just vaguely suggest that maybe someone has been tailing you, but who it is, only you know in your heart.

And what's interesting is that even the things taken from Mackee's room were all stolen while Chen Zekai was live-streaming them on his phone for Leaf to select from.

As expected!

Mackee was immediately caught off guard by Chen Zekai's questioning.

He also thought this matter was quite suspicious.

Why would someone steal from themselves?

Why would someone steal their family heirloom compass, to boot?

If it wasn't someone with inside knowledge, they'd definitely choose cash; who would take an old, unremarkable compass that doesn't reveal its age or value?

Thinking of this, Mackee's first thought was of Xuan Fengnian.

He suspected, could it be that Xuan Fengnian had secretly stolen his ancestral compass?

That Xuan family didn't have a knack for geomancy secrets to begin with; they might be trying to make up for their shortcomings in this area, so they'd focus on the family heirloom compass!

Thinking of this, Mackee dared not directly question Xuan Fengnian, so he could only hope for the police and thus hurriedly asked Chen Zekai, "Hey, how long do you think it'll take the police to arrive?"

Chen Zekai glanced at the time and said, "I estimate it'll be no more than three minutes; you can just wait a bit longer."

"Alright!" Mackee could only nod his head in agreement.

Three minutes later, a young man with extraordinary presence walked into his room.

This person was none other than Ye Chen, who had just arrived at White Gold Hall.

Ye Chen took a step forward and surveyed the room before focusing his gaze on Mackee's face, asking, "Is this Mr. Mackee?"

Mackee saw Ye Chen's eyes filled with dignity, assuming he was an undercover law enforcement officer, so he hurriedly said, "Officer, I'm Mackee, and something extremely important of mine has been stolen!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, telling the people around him, including Chen Zekai, to leave the scene, saying, "I need to investigate this. The others can just go outside." JrNovels.com
