The Jade Emperor's Heart Knot, the Sorrowful Chameleon

After opening WeChat Wallet and sending the girl from earlier thirty yuan for travel expenses, Qin Fen put the little matter aside. As an honest man, he had to do honest things. Chef Qin had his basic principles—he couldn't let someone make a wasted trip and pay their own fare.

Life wasn't easy for anyone. That was Qin Fen's rule for dealing with people: he repaid grudges and favors distinctly. He could be an asshole, but he wasn't bad at heart. He just wanted to disgust those people on WeChat who specialized in scamming others for fun.

Chameleon had arrived at the hotel early, prepared the room, and drawn the curtains after entering. Though it was daytime, the room became somewhat dimmer. She filled the bathtub with the water she had prepared and smiled knowingly.

She poured a glass of iced tea and dropped a pill into it. As long as Chef Qin drank it, he would fall into a semi-conscious state. Combined with her interrogation techniques, she would soon learn where the Luminous Pearl was and whether it had anything to do with him. If the answer was yes, this simple mission would be nearing its end: take the money and deliver the goods.

She tidied herself up, checked her makeup, then turned off her phone and waited quietly.

Before long, there was a knock at the door. Chameleon smiled strangely. Things often came this easily. Dealing with a young shut-in nerd really was no pressure at all.

The girl outside was delighted too. Receiving thirty yuan for cab fare made her rather happy. At least this guy wasn't that stingy. He knew what was what.

Smack! The door opened, and when the two women came face-to-face, they were both instantly dumbfounded.

The girl outside checked the room number.
