Exposing Dai Mubai's True Colors as a Scumbag!

Two days later.

Balak Kingdom, Suotuo City.

The Balak Kingdom was one of the four great kingdoms under the Heaven Dou Empire, and it was also the kingdom with the strongest military might.

Within the kingdom, aside from the capital, Barak City, there was another important city. That was Suotuo City, located on the fertile Lima Plain and known as Barak's granary.

It was noon. At Suotuo City's western gate, a carriage slowly rolled in. Driving it was a Purple-Clad Youth with fair skin, sharp brows, starry eyes, and a jade-like handsome face.

The youth was naturally Zhou Chen.

Originally, he had planned to travel to Suotuo City on foot. But after Ning Rongrong, this oversized third wheel, appeared, Zhou Chen suddenly realized that his plan of building a relationship with Zhu Zhuqing through spending time together had stopped working.

Instead, Ning Rongrong's presence had caused more friction between the two of them.

After thinking it over, Zhou Chen simply hired a carriage and traveled hundreds of li a day toward Suotuo City.

Thus, in less than two days, they arrived in Suotuo City.

Suotuo City was quite prosperous. Patrol soldiers could be seen everywhere on the streets, and the crowds of shoppers bustled about. Zhou Chen drove the carriage slowly through the crowd, taking more than two hours before he finally found the place he was looking for.

It was a hotel, three stories tall. Its exterior was painted rose red, and the building itself was shaped like a rose, making it exceptionally eye-catching.

Above the hotel's entrance hung four large words: Rose Hotel.

"Rose Hotel. This should be the place."

Zhou Chen nodded. His search of more than two hours had not been in vain. After circling the entire city, he had finally found the hotel where Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai had all stayed in the original story.

That meant the planned operation could begin.

"Zhuqing, Rong Rong, get down."

Zhou Chen jumped off the carriage, lifted the curtain, and spoke in a warm, pleasant voice.

"We're here! Brother Zhou Chen, catch me!"

The little witch Ning Rongrong had barely poked her head out of the carriage before she happily pounced down toward Zhou Chen.

To keep Ning Rongrong from getting hurt in a fall, Zhou Chen could only reluctantly catch her. At once, a soft and fragrant body fell into his arms.

Naturally, Zhu Zhuqing saw this scene as well. In an instant, her sharp, blade-like gaze swept toward Zhou Chen and Ning Rongrong.

"Ah, Zhuqing, listen to my explanation! I was only like that because I was too excited..."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's cold gaze, Ning Rongrong immediately let go of Zhou Chen as if struck by lightning. She lowered her head guiltily, twisting the hem of her skirt with both hands as she explained softly.

"It's nothing. He isn't anything to me."

Zhu Zhuqing's tone was indifferent. In her heart, she repeatedly reminded herself that her fiancé was Dai Mubai.

Yet for some reason, there was still a trace of bitterness in her heart. Thinking of the warm moments she had shared with Zhou Chen these past few days, she could not help but fall into a daze.

"Zhuqing, we'll stay at this hotel today and go to Shrek Academy tomorrow morning. Is that alright?"

Zhou Chen's voice pulled Zhu Zhuqing back to reality.

She looked deeply at Zhou Chen, and her tone softened. "Whatever. I'll listen to you."

"Then let's go in."

The three entered the Rose Hotel together. A refreshing fragrance of roses washed over them, and the hotel's color scheme was rather suggestive. At a glance, it was clearly a hotel meant specifically for couples.

Zhou Chen walked to the counter and looked at the male attendant before him. "Get us three rooms."

"Um..."

The attendant's gaze moved back and forth between Zhou Chen and the two girls, revealing the admiring look that all men understood.

Then, in an ambiguous tone, he said, "I'm sorry, but we only have one room left. However, it's very spacious. It's our finest Noble Suite."

"This..."

Zhou Chen pretended to hesitate.

"Then take that one! I don't mind."

Ning Rongrong said impatiently.

A Noble Suite was great. She was not even used to staying in ordinary suites.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Zhuqing at the side agreed as well.

As the legitimate daughter of the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire, she had stayed in Noble Suites before. There were many bedrooms in the suite. She and Ning Rongrong could share one, while Zhou Chen could have one to himself.

"Then we'll do that." Zhou Chen sighed, pretending to be troubled.

"Alright, then I'll handle the registration. May I ask your name...?" the attendant asked.

"Mu Chen."

Zhou Chen casually gave a false name.

"Alright, Mr. Mu."

The attendant glanced at the three of them enviously, but his hands moved quickly as he filled out the paperwork.

Just then, Zhou Chen suddenly asked in an apparently casual but actually premeditated manner, "Have you received a young man named Dai Mubai these past few days?"

"Young Master Dai? He's a regular here, and one of our VIP guests."

The attendant lowered his head as he registered the information and answered instinctively.

"What did you say? He comes to places like this often? Who does he come here with?"

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked loudly from the side.

Though she was not particularly clever, she knew what kind of person frequently visited couples' hotels.

Besides, her second sister had spoken badly of Dai Mubai before...

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's furious appearance, the attendant immediately fell silent. Then he hesitated before saying, "I'm sorry, but our hotel has rules. We cannot casually reveal customer information, especially information about VIP guests..."

Ding!

A crisp sound rang out as a Gold Soul Coin flicked from Zhou Chen's fingers and landed on the counter.

"This is only the deposit. Tell this lady everything you know about Dai Mubai. Afterward, I'll give you a small pouch of Gold Soul Coins," Zhou Chen said calmly.

That was right. This was Zhou Chen's purpose in coming here.

In the original story, Dai Mubai had been a regular at this Rose Hotel. Who knew how many innocent girls had been toyed with here by that scumbag Dai?

Today, Zhou Chen intended to reveal Dai Mubai's scumbag nature in full before Zhu Zhuqing, make her completely give up on that scumbag Dai, and then have her throw herself into the arms of a kind, loving, handsome youth like him.

Sure enough, the moment he saw the Gold Soul Coin, the attendant immediately threw the hotel's rules to the back of his mind and said cheerfully, "Dai Mubai often comes to our hotel. On average, he visits at least five times a month, and every month or two, he changes girlfriends. Recently, he even brought a pair of beautiful twins here!"

"Oh, and last year, he even brought a woman in her thirties..."

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Zhu Zhuqing slammed her fist into the counter, smashing a small dent into it! She was clearly furious to the extreme!

Not only that, her eyes had turned red, and tears had already welled up in her originally cold eyes.

She had traveled thousands of miles, risking her life and the possibility of being hunted down at any moment, just to find Dai Mubai. She had never expected that this scumbag would betray her so utterly!

How could this be tolerated?
