Chapter 1553: 1552 bold assumption

“Abiya indeed didn’t return to the hotel afterward,” Zhuang Liu also felt something was amiss, “We were certainly the first to act yesterday, and afterward, I taught Abiya a harsh lesson. In the end, Abiya lost his job and had to compensate the boss for the damages as well as repair the walls and the floor, but he didn’t seem to harbor much resentment. He just kept voicing his grievances.”

Tan Rou said, “Normally, if someone gets beaten up at work, they would definitely seek compensation from their employer. But regarding the compensation, Abiya never suggested he wouldn’t pay.”

“The police said Abiya often caused trouble, and the boss also said he felt pity for Abiya, which is why he kept him employed there. If Abiya were wealthy, he surely wouldn’t care about that small amount of compensation,” Tan Rou added. “But Abiya isn’t wealthy, so why didn’t he put up a fight? It can’t just be because he feels indebted to the boss and didn’t want to let him down.”

Zhuang Liu said with a smile, “If he truly wanted to repay the boss’s kindness, he wouldn’t be spouting nonsense in the hotel. This sort of thing surely isn’t the first time he’s said it. He doesn’t correct his behavior, and the boss doesn’t intervene, which is strange however you look at it.”

“What if they are in it together?” Tan Rou proposed a view, “Suppose the boss is the Dawn Society’s manager in this region, and Abiya is an external member of the Dawn Society. Abiya knows the boss’s secret identity, so he expects him to give him an advantage and direct entry into the Dawn Society. If that’s the case, then we’ve found the reason why Abiya didn’t resist.”

“There is indeed that possibility,” Zhuang Liu said. “However, all this is your speculation; we can’t prove that the boss is the underground manager of this area. And don’t you handle this matter–leave it to the princess.”

Tan Rou said with interest, “Zhuang Liu, don’t you think this is a good opportunity?”

Zhuang Liu didn’t see it as a good opportunity; all he saw were troubles everywhere. After eight in the evening, they were not allowed to go out, and last night he even heard the sounds of the patrol passing by underneath.”

“What opportunity?” But seeing Tan Rou’s expression, Zhuang Liu knew she was thinking of doing something daring again. “Let me make it clear, wherever you’re planning to go, I’m coming with you.”

“This time I will definitely take you with me,” Tan Rou said. “Those ruffians mentioned that the manager would show up at night and then talk to them wearing a mask. If we also go out at night, might we encounter this manager?”

Zhuang Liu felt this method wasn’t very reliable, “You can’t be sure where the manager might appear. What if he stays at home the whole time?”

“He might stay at home, but those who give him money certainly won’t stay at home; they have to go somewhere,” Tan Rou said. “Normal people wouldn’t go out at night because there are armed patrols outside. So the only ones going out will be those with important things to do.”

“Oh, you mean to look for those who pay the money?” Zhuang Liu also understood Tan Rou’s intent then, “The manager might stay home all the time, but other people definitely won’t. If we find someone who goes out at night and seems suspicious, we can follow them and then find out where the manager is.”

“Indeed,” Tan Rou praised, “Zhuang Liu is quite clever.”

Zhuang Liu said, “I’m a gifted graduate from a prestigious school, after all. How could I fail to understand even this simple reasoning?”

But this method might be a bit of a waste of time; perhaps they wouldn’t find anyone paying money all night, or maybe they would be discovered by the patrol. However, precisely because of this, the endeavor seemed fun.

“The day after tomorrow is the Dawn Society’s meeting time. Presumably, each regional manager will report the latest developments to the president. So, in these two days, the managers will certainly be urging those who want to join to pay the membership fee,” Tan Rou said. “Tonight and tomorrow night are both good opportunities to look for people.”

Zhuang Liu checked the time; it was already past one in the afternoon. “Then let’s go have lunch first. We can rest well in the afternoon and then go out to find people tonight.”

Tan Rou replied, “Hmm, I’ll let Samiyi know, so I won’t go back to the palace tonight.”
