Chapter 188 -187: Do Not Bully the Young and Poor (Reward for Extras)
The group promptly followed, but upon reaching the ground floor, they faced a new challenge. With so many people outside, they worried about being immediately surrounded if they stepped out.
However, Bald Strong had no such concern; at this moment, he had already walked out of the hotel’s main entrance.
As the surveillance plan seemed on the verge of collapse, Shao Zifeng, looking at Casar, had a spark of inspiration.
He decided to have Casar stay in the hotel while releasing the Snow Feather Owl to monitor Bald Strong’s movements from above.

The eyesight of eagle-type mutant creatures is extremely sharp. As long as they were informed of the route Bald Strong chose near the hotel, they wouldn’t lose him, even temporarily.
Shao Zifeng, Li Yiming, and Hu Shiwu exited through the hotel’s back kitchen door and then followed the route synchronized in the group chat.
Thanks to their cooperation, Shao Zifeng and his team eventually caught sight of Bald Strong again.
They casually hailed a taxi, “Driver, follow that car up ahead.”
…
“Hey, driver, stop right ahead.”
After a morning of tailing, Bald Strong finally got out of his car near a coffee shop.
He had visited many places that morning: first, a top-tier beauty salon for a facial and eyebrow grooming, then a florist to buy a bouquet of roses, followed by a stroll through the jewelry section of a large shopping mall, and finally entered this somewhat old-looking coffee shop.
Observing the coffee shop named “Time Coffee Machine,” Shao Zifeng appeared pensive. Bald Strong seemed very familiar with Yundu City.
They had been circling around for nearly three hours. If Shao Zifeng hadn’t bribed the taxi driver with money, they might have indeed lost Bald Strong.
After all, they were far from the Yundu Hotel, and the Snow Feather Owl, despite its excellent vision, couldn’t possibly see half of the city.
The three of them stealthily alighted from the vehicle, peered into the coffee shop through the display window, and finally spotted Bald Strong’s back in the farthest corner booth.
He kept checking his watch, as if waiting for someone.
Ensuring that Bald Strong’s position did not allow for a view of the entrance, Shao Zifeng whispered, “Let’s go in too.”
Pushing open the thick glass door, the entire layout of the coffee shop came into view. It featured an antique wooden decor, and being there gave one a profound sense of being enveloped by time.
The booth where Bald Strong sat had high back seats, which meant that those at adjacent tables couldn’t see each other and wouldn’t be disturbed by others.
Worried that the staff might overlook Hu Shiwu while ordering, Shao Zifeng had the other two hide in the booth next to Bald Strong’s, while he himself ordered three cups of coffee and some pastries, tiptoeing over to their spot.
As seconds and minutes ticked by, Shao Zifeng, sitting next to Bald Strong, could clearly sense his mood shift from anticipation to restlessness, and then from restlessness to disappointment.
Shao Zifeng whispered softly, “It seems like things aren’t going well.”
Li Yiming, who had been struggling with the pastries and feeling somewhat out of the loop, nearly choked upon hearing Shao Zifeng.
Just then, Shao Zifeng saw the door of the coffee shop suddenly pushed open.
A woman wearing a deep purple satin evening gown, with her hair styled up high, walked in. She wore a translucent sapphire pendant around her slim, fair neck.
Carrying a handbag of an unfamiliar brand to Shao Zifeng, she exuded the aura of a noblewoman as she walked, the only blemish being the perpetual frost on her face.
As she passed by, Shao Zifeng and the others quickly lowered their heads, pretending to savor their coffee. The woman didn’t glance their way and went straight to Bald Strong’s booth.
“Hong… Honghong, you’re here.”
After a brief silence, Bald Strong’s voice, tinged with suppressed excitement, rang out.
“Mm.”
The woman didn’t answer immediately but instead gave a curt reply after a pause.
Silence fell once again.
“How have you been lately… ”
“Your hand…”
“I’m fine.”
“My hand had an accident.”
After a simple exchange, the atmosphere on the other side finally relaxed significantly. The two people asked and answered questions, but after listening for a long time, they didn’t hear any valuable information.
Which meant it was too bland, completely lacking the explosive elements that Shao Zifeng had expected.
On the other side, Hu Shiwu, bored to death, lay on the table. Being often overlooked, his most common activity was to lie quietly, staring into space and thinking about nothing. This way, time would also pass very quickly.
As for Li Yiming, he seemed to really enjoy the small desserts here, having not stopped since the beginning.
These two teammates were apparently of no use, so it looked like he had to try using his empathy ability.
After yesterday’s accident, he had mixed feelings about the ability of empathy: both fond and fearful. Previously, when he probed the bald man, he only did it briefly, afraid of another accident. But this time, he was ready to make contact and give it a try.
He glanced around the café.
Good, there were hardly any customers.
Shao Zifeng took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
Boom.
The moment he activated his empathy, two tumultuous waves of emotion rushed towards him, startling Shao Zifeng as he thought it was the same situation as yesterday.
A moment later, he realized the targets of these two emotion waves were not him but each other, intertwined with passion and intensity.
In Shao Zifeng’s perception, they were like two blazing, fiery red flames, fiery, intense, and containing destructive passion.
This damn—
Shao Zifeng was shocked.
Is it that stimulating?
So these two really have a thing going on!
And during his observation, Shao Zifeng made a new discovery. Before, when he used empathy, he could only sense the direction from which the other’s emotions came. But now, he could not only sense the direction but even vaguely see two blurry figures.
It seemed that after the bombardment of information from the little deer, his mastery of empathy had deepened.
Shao Zifeng was delighted. With this, in the future, he would be able to clearly perceive the hidden ones’ size and shape, whether they were human or beast.
Rather than just being able to sense whether there was ill intent as before.
Before he could finish feeling happy, something was said on the other side, and suddenly loud roars from the bald man reached his ears, “What can I do, what do you want me to do.”
As he spoke, Shao Zifeng saw the bald man’s ghostly figure stand up, exaggeratingly continuing, “Your mother found me… Yes, right here, right at this table where we’re sitting, she slapped a card on my face and told me to leave you.”
“As a man, faced with such humiliation, what can I do!! Tell me!” Then he saw the bald man sit down dejectedly, covering his face with his one arm and shaking uncontrollably.
But Shao Zifeng didn’t feel any sadness, so…
The bald man was acting.
On the contrary, the love coming from the woman seemed to swell even more, as if it would devour them both.
In perception, the woman’s blurry shadow gently caressed the bald man’s bald head, her indifferent voice softened, “So you left me because of that money?”
“Impossible!” The bald man, as if insulted, pushed the woman’s hand away, “How can I allow her to insult me like that!”
Then the bald man declared forcefully, “I told her ‘Fortune may come and go. Never make light of the young when they are poor.'”
Pfft—”Impressive, my bold one.”
Damn, another lie.
So you really did take the money, huh.
