"What? Are you kidding me, asking me to go to the men's restroom?" Miao Miao looked unwilling.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Of course, you don't have to go, but if there's any clue, I'm not going to tell you yo."
As he spoke, Lin Chen sneaked into the restroom with a mischievous smile.
Miao Miao looked embarrassed, checked that no one was around, and followed Lin Chen into the men's restroom.
Lin Chen and Miao Miao hid in the restroom next to Matsumoto.
Miao Miao's sudden grip nearly made Lin Chen cry out.
At that moment, a lazy voice came from the restroom, "Find me a pretty girl for tonight at eight, someone pure. Room 113 at the Fushan Hotel."
After leaving the restroom, Matsumoto had indeed changed his appearance.
He was wearing a pair of large glasses and a sharp suit, looking every bit the corporate employee.
Looking around and seeing that nothing was amiss, Matsumoto then left the bathroom.
Leaving the office building, Lin Chen and Miao Miao followed far behind Matsumoto, who seemed to have a leisurely afternoon, sipping coffee and reading the newspaper in a café.
At half past seven in the evening, Matsumoto indeed packed up the newspaper and entered the Fushan Hotel.
"What? You want me to play the part of a call girl?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's plan, Miao Miao showed her reluctance.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let that guy take advantage of you with his greasy hands."
After pondering for a moment, Miao Miao finally nodded, "Alright, I'll go."
At eight o'clock, the doorbell rang.
When Matsumoto opened the door, he was so struck by the modern girl standing there that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Yo, nice, very nice," Matsumoto said, very satisfied with the call girl.
"Little beauty, love me to death, let's get started quick."
As he spoke, Matsumoto lunged toward Miao Miao's body.
Miao Miao dodged to the side, and Matsumoto ended up missing his target.
"You undead, what's the hurry? You smell weird; go take a shower first, I'll warm up the bed for you," Miao Miao said as she slickly slipped under the covers.
Seeing Miao Miao dive into the bed, Matsumoto, unable to control his desire, dashed into the bathroom in a few quick steps.
At this moment, Lin Chen was invisible, hiding in a corner of the bathroom.
Matsumoto quickly stripped naked, turned on the shower, and after a brief rinse, was ready to leave.
But just then, he failed to notice a current of electricity traveling closer to him along the water on the floor.
The moment Matsumoto turned off the tap, he felt a tingling under his feet, followed by his entire body flickering with blue light, unmistakably in a state of electrocution.
Ba Ga, electrocuted, this was Matsumoto's last thought before fainting.
The unfortunate Matsumoto didn't even get to enjoy the beauty in the bed before he was stunned by a small thunderbolt from Lin Chen.
Lin Chen opened the bathroom door and dragged Matsumoto out.
"Lin Chen, when did you get into the restroom?" Seeing Lin Chen dragging the fainted Matsumoto out of the bathroom, Miao Miao was shocked and bewildered.
When she and Matsumoto had come in earlier, Lin Chen hadn't followed them, plus the hotel bathroom was fully enclosed. Miao Miao had been watching the doorway from the bed, and no one had come in at all.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Now you know what an ace is, what an elite is, huh!"
Now, Miao Miao admired Lin Chen to the point of total reverence; this guy was simply too strong.
The two tied Matsumoto to a chair, splashed a basin of water on him, and he woke up from his stupor.
Seeing Lin Chen and Miao Miao, Matsumoto was extremely alarmed, "What are you doing?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "King of Thousand Faces, hello there!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Matsumoto's expression changed dramatically, but he quickly calmed down, "What are you talking about? I don't know anything."
Lin Chen had already anticipated that this guy would play tough, "Don't know? No problem, I'll make you talk."
"This is kidnapping, it's a crime," Matsumoto struggled fiercely.
"Matsumoto, don't lie in the presence of real persons. I advise you to confess honestly. Pretending to be dumb and playing crazy won't get you through today," Lin Chen spoke indifferently.
After hearing Lin Chen's words, Matsumoto stiffened and then said coldly, "Are you from Huaxia?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Correct answer. Now it's your turn to confess, where is your hideout?"
Matsumoto snorted coldly, "Give it up. I won't tell you. We're all trained. Your torture won't affect me at all."
"So that's how it is, huh? Miao Miao, untie him!" Lin Chen said faintly.
"Untie?" Miao Miao was suddenly confused. They had just caught him, and now they were going to untie him before the interrogation was even finished?
Matsumoto was also puzzled, unclear about what Lin Chen was up to.
Despite her confusion, Miao Miao did as Lin Chen had said and began to untie the ropes binding Matsumoto.
A sly smile played upon Matsumoto's lips as he was just about to use his Escape Technique to flee.
"Capture the spirit!"
A flash of golden light shot from Lin Chen's eyes into Matsumoto's forehead. Struck as if by lightning, Matsumoto suddenly became somewhat stupefied.
A few minutes later, Matsumoto regained clarity.
"Master!" To Miao Miao's shock, Matsumoto knelt on the ground and called Lin Chen master.
"Damn, hypnotism?" At this point, Miao Miao's admiration for Lin Chen was like the endless flow of a river.
It was only then that Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Now, tell me everything you know!"
Without much trouble, Matsumoto spilled all he knew, pouring out the information like bamboo tubes releasing beans.
After listening to Matsumoto's confession, Lin Chen frowned, pondering. According to Matsumoto, his father had been tortured for days and had refused to speak. Now, he had been taken to the headquarters of the Dark Alliance, while the Ninth Prince and most of the elite had gone on a secret mission. The headquarters were now only manned by a few lackeys.
Lin Chen nodded and said coldly, "Take me to your headquarters."
"Yes!" Matsumoto responded very cooperatively.
The three took a car and headed straight for the Dark Alliance's base in the Island Nation.
The car stopped in front of a three-story office building. Lin Chen smiled coldly, "Ninth Prince, since you're not here, I'll give you a special gift!"
