Lonnie asked: "Don't you feel lonely when you travel alone?"
"Nope."
Zhou Lina shook her head: "In my opinion, traveling is a process of letting go of the mind and body and finding yourself. On the contrary, those people who go out in groups to travel do not understand the true meaning of travel at all."
When Zhou Lina said this, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She seemed to be talking about the three of us!
Seeing that Lonnie and Bai Ze didn't change their expressions, I could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and pretend I didn't hear them.
Because I had a few more drinks with Bai Ze, my stomach felt bloated after a while, so I stood up and planned to drink some water.
When I passed by Zhou Lina, I glanced at the ground out of the corner of my eye. Suddenly, an inexplicable coldness hit my heart, and I couldn't help but shiver.
At this time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, dusk was falling, and the lights on the roadside shone over, making the shadows of Lonnie, Baize, me, and I look very real.
However, Zhou Lina's shadow is very different from the three of us.
Her shadow looks very dim, almost void. At first glance, it looks like there is no shadow!
I secretly squinted my eyes at Zhou Lina. From a closer look, I could see that although she had a thick layer of foundation on her face, it still couldn't cover up the withered and sallow color of her skin.
And I also noticed that while she was chatting with Lonnie, she kept yawning and looked listless.
I couldn't help but think that Zhou Lina's situation might be related to Yuelai B&B.
So I remained calm, and after sitting back, I took the initiative to ask about Zhou Lina's situation.
"By the way, Sister Zhou, how do you feel about your stay at Yuelai Inn these days?"
"pretty good."
Zhou Lina replied casually: "Boss Ding is a very talented person. He is polite and gentle. I can learn a lot from him..."
Speaking of Yuelai B&B, Zhou Lina couldn't stop talking and started praising the Dink family, saying that the Dink family was the kind of life a literary young person like her most wanted to live like.
At the end, she seemed to think that I was asking her about her living experience, so she added: "It's just, I've been having nightmares these days and can't sleep well."
Sure enough!
After hearing what she said, I was already sure that this Dink family was definitely not a kind person!
"Sister Zhou, I want to give you a word of advice."
I looked at Zhou Lina and said solemnly: "You'd better move out of Yuelai Inn as soon as possible. There's something wrong with that Boss Ding!"
Zhou Lina was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Cheng, what are you talking about? Boss Ding is a very nice person. Why are you speaking ill of others behind their back?"
I knew that Lina was just an ordinary person this week, and some things couldn't be explained to her at all, so I said eagerly: "I'm doing this for your own good. If you still want to survive, stay away from Dink's house!"
Zhou Lina suddenly became angry: "Mr. Cheng, what do you mean? Do you mean that Boss Ding will kill me? I have lived in Yuelai Inn for so many days. Who is Boss Ding? I am more powerful than you." Clearly, you are judging a gentleman’s heart with a villain’s heart!”
I knew Zhou Lina had misunderstood, so I explained: "Sister Zhou, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say..."
Zhou Lina waved her hand and didn't want to hear me continue.
"Okay, okay, don't think that I don't know what you have in mind. Today you wanted to look at the picture album and were scolded by Boss Ding. So you are holding a grudge and want to take revenge. You plan to use this to disrupt Boss Ding's life." Business is so despicable!”
"It's an insult to me to eat with someone like you!"
After saying this, Zhou Lina stood up and left angrily.
I sat on the chair with an embarrassed look on my face, speechless for a moment. I wanted to help her escape from the clutches of the Dink family, but why was I called a despicable person instead?
Bai Ze said nothing, looking at me meaningfully, with a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Cheng, it seems this woman doesn't appreciate your favor."
"Good words can't persuade a damn ghost. This woman is riddled with evil energy and her life is gone. Since she made her own choice, let her go."
"no!"
I glanced at Bai Ze and refused directly.
"As a disciple, it is my duty to drive away evil spirits and protect others. Regarding Zhou Lina's matter, it would be fine if I didn't encounter her. Now that I have encountered her, I must save her!"
Bai Ze also didn't expect that I would go to this point for someone who said bad things to me. For a moment, I was speechless.
"Well, since you insist so much, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Bai Ze spread his hands and made an indifferent expression.
"Mr. Bai, when Xiao Chengzi wants to save Zhou Lina, it's not just about drawing a sword to help when the road is rough."
Lonnie said to Bai Ze: "More importantly, that Dink family is probably related to the man in black robe!"
Bai Ze was stunned for a moment: "Are you telling the truth?"
Lonnie nodded and told Bai Ze what happened at Yuelai B&B today.
After listening to Lonnie's story, Bai Ze slapped the table with a look of surprise on his face.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's really hard to find anything even if you try hard to find it. It takes no effort at all!"
After a moment of joy, Bai Ze looked at me: "Brother Cheng, do you have any plans?"
"What's the plan? I do have one."
With that said, I waved and asked Lonnie and Bai Ze to come over and whisper to them for a while.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. This time I will catch that scum with my own hands!"
After hearing my plan, Bai Ze immediately agreed and even started gearing up to give it a try.
…
After midnight, everything was silent, and the second floor of Yuelai B&B was already dark.
The two figures groped and came to the end of the corridor, in front of Room 206.
One of them took out a piece of steel wire and put it into the keyhole. After fiddling with it for a while, he heard a click, the door opened, and two figures quickly slipped in and closed the door.
"I didn't expect that as a disciple, you would be able to sneak in and pick the lock?"
Lonnie stared at me and said teasingly.
I smiled and said, "When I was in elementary school, my parents often did homework in the room, so I learned this skill."
Lonnie didn't say much. She waved her hand to me, indicating that she was watching at the door and asked me to act quickly.
I didn't dare to waste time, so I touched the wall and found the location of the table based on my memory. Then I opened the drawer and groped around inside.
Soon, the picture album that I had not had time to look through during the day appeared in my hands.
When I took out this picture album today, the Dink family behaved very abnormally, so I concluded that there must be some secret in this picture album.
