“Third Elder Brother, I’m sorry that I can’t provide any assistance,” Fifth Young Master Shen explained while the criminal psychologist’s words rang in his ears. She might really discard the case if he ordered his men to block her path right now.
The truth was, he did not even know if she had discovered any new clues even if she sounded pretty convincing earlier. However, he could not gamble that with the lives of his people.
He was the people’s police.
“I anticipated that, so I’ve already made my arrangements.” Ye Lanchen considered the possibility that Fifth Young Master Shen was likely to be stuck in an awkward position in this situation, hence he had already mapped out a backup plan beforehand.
“All hail the mighty Third Elder Brother.” Fifth Young Master Shen could not resist himself from complimenting the other man. He was right when he said Third Elder Brother treated every situation with meticulous care.
It was possible that the support Third Elder Brother hired was way more efficient than his staff in the bureau. In other words, that woman would not stand a chance if she was indeed planning to leave through the window.
“Third Elder Brother, I’ll head downstairs to lend you a hand.” Fifth Young Master Shen’s eyes twinkled with brilliance. Although he was not allowed to assist his Third Elder Brother in blocking her path, he could still head down to enjoy the excitement. As he was reminded of that enigmatic smile that appeared on that woman’s face seconds before the elevator door shut, he reckoned she must have something planned out.
How could he miss out on a great chance like this?
The elevator moved again by then and descended to the third floor.
Fifth Young Master Shen entered the other elevator and pressed the button for the second floor without hesitation. He estimated that she would make a stop on the second floor.
Fifth Young Master Shen’s speculation was correct. Chu Wuyou had indeed made a stop on the second floor, or to be more precise, she was waiting for him on the second floor.
It was true that Chu Wuyou had laid out psychological warfare but her target was Fifth Young Master Shen.
Chu Wuyou had already transformed herself again by now. Her hair was let down from the bun and wavy curls draped over her shoulders casually. Her hair was changed from blonde to black and she had removed the colored contact lenses from her eyes. Her clean nails had also been painted with a bright red color.
Several moments ago in the elevator, she applied a heavy make-up which resulted in drastic contrast with her natural appearance from earlier. It was true when some people said make-up could completely transform one person into another.
In addition, the dual-color, double weave windbreaker that Chu Wuyou was wearing today could be worn in reverse. She fully transformed herself into a completely different person when she flipped the windbreaker over to wear it inside-out.
Fifth Young Master Shen exited the elevator that stopped on the second floor. He looked from left to right several times, only to discover a heavily made-up woman approaching the elevator.
“Did you see a woman coming out from the elevator?” Fifth Young Master Shen shifted his skeptical gaze on her. The former failed to recognize her at first glance but the woman’s appearance at this time was enough to raise suspicions.
“I’m a woman, no?” Chu Wuyou looked at him intently with her eyebrows slightly raised. She threw a seductive glance at him, her carriage enchanting but also resembling that of a streetwalker.
Fifth Young Master Shen still did not recognize her. In other words, her disguise was a great success.
The skepticism hidden in the depth of Fifth Young Master Shen’s eyes disappeared after this brief exchange.
The perfume exuded from the woman attacked his nostrils without mercy.
Fifth Young Master Shen knitted his brows slightly and appeared rather uncomfortable but he tried to suppress his feelings.
He reentered the same elevator and Chu Wuyou trailed after him.
The corners of her lips curled upward into a subtle smile. Everything was going as planned without fail.
Fifth Young Master Shen knitted his brows once more when she entered the elevator. He turned his attention toward her again as if to express displeasure but he also seemed curious at the same time.
“Hottie, wanna go on a date?” Chu Wuyou leaned toward him intentionally, her voice seductive and her actions frivolous.
Fifth Young Master Shen’s face darkened visibly. He moved inches away from her and averted her gaze deliberately.
Chu Wuyou heaved a sigh of relief. She feared he would detect something once he placed her under his scrutiny.
Soon, the elevator came to a halt on the first floor. Chu Wuyou did not appear startled when she noticed Ye Lanchen appearing on the other side of the door. Of course, she would not reveal any expression on her face even if she was caught by surprise.
Chu Wuyou was fully aware that Ye Lanchen was not as gullible as Fifth Young Master Shen.
She took a small step to leave the elevator.
Ye Lanchen landed his attention on Fifth Young Master Shen first before shifting his gaze toward Chu Wuyou.
