The martial world is full of dangers.
This world, how could there be such a coincidence? "Triple Disaster," such an obscure mystery novel. In this era where updates reign supreme, even this detective, known for his inconsistent updates, still has so many loyal readers.
"Yes, I am the detective."
Shi Ying's face lit up with joy. Jiang Kexin snatched the conversation, "Tang Nan, why didn't you ever say you were the detective?"
I braced myself and said with a smile, "There was no need to mention it, was there? I haven't updated recently anyway."
Hu Xiaoyu stifled a laugh, her gaze unreservedly appraising me from head to toe. "Tang Nan, then you're finished. Our Sister Ying is fond of artistic youths, and tonight you won't escape her clutches. Of course, if you don't mind, I can join in. This is called a peerless duo."
Jiang Kexin couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at Hu Xiaoyu, "Hu Xiaoyu, if you don't want to play tonight, then scram. Do you understand? You're being particularly shameless today."
"I'm just helping Sister Ying! Didn't you hear? He's the detective, the writer Sister Ying vowed to marry!"
I was truly embarrassed, feeling like I was being toyed with by fate. I felt a little helpless. Shi Ying unexpectedly came to my rescue, "Since you are the detective, then we were too presumptuous. Kexin, let's switch seats."
"What?" Jiang Kexin was a bit puzzled, but she still switched places with Shi Ying. Hu Xiaoyu shamelessly reached out to touch Shi Ying's chest, "Let me see, I want to understand what our unwavering Sister Ying looks like when her heart races."
Shi Ying batted away Hu Xiaoyu's wicked hand and respectfully said to me, "You haven't updated in a long time, what's the reason?"
"It's like this, a fan imitated the methods in my novel and committed murder. I was summoned to the police station. I was truly shaken, which is why I stopped updating. However, I've been itching to write again recently."
"Write what? Can you give us a spoiler?"
"I'm writing about a psychologist who controls men in a nightclub to help him commit murders."
Hu Xiaoyu scratched her temple. "Can a psychologist hypnotize people in a nightclub? You'd know if you went there. It's so noisy, how can anyone be hypnotized? Kexin's mother is a hypnotist. I saw Auntie hypnotize someone when I was little. It requires a quiet environment."
Admittedly, if Hu Xiaoyu weren't so brazenly lustful, her logic was quite sound.
Shi Ying also added, "Auntie Wang once said that hypnosis can't make people do dangerous things. If it reached that level, it must be related to drugs. There are countless men in nightclubs willing to drink with strangers. First, drug them, then hypnotize them."
I just wanted to understand the scene. Luo Bo said those individuals were hypnotized in a nightclub, and I was inherently skeptical. Therefore, I wanted to see it, to understand. But I didn't expect my doubts to be resolved by Shi Ying. Shi Ying was right, men going to nightclubs in groups naturally intended to pick up women. In such a situation, they were more likely to be drugged by women.
A beautiful woman, Xiao Zi'an?
A woman who could transform into a beauty and possibly possess a hypnotic skill comparable to Teacher Wang Ren's level, was likely her.
At this moment, Hu Xiaoyu said displeasedly, "We all know what kind of men frequent nightclubs, but drugging them isn't that easy, is it?"
"It must be easy."
"I don't believe it!"
"Then try it!"
Shi Ying placed a bag of medicine in Hu Xiaoyu's hand. Hu Xiaoyu directly slapped it onto the table and said to Jiang Kexin, "You say I'm shameless, but look at Sister Ying, she even brought medicine to get Tang Nan."
"Nonsense, when have I ever not brought medicine? Whenever I encountered those energetic men, didn't I always solve it with medicine?"
Jiang Kexin waved her hand irritably, "Alright, alright, I shouldn't have brought you two."
At this moment, the waiter began to serve the dishes. I said to Jiang Kexin, "Let's go. Don't you have a membership card? Let's settle the bill first."
Jiang Kexin nodded and stood up with me.
Hu Xiaoyu said bluntly, "Tang Nan, what do you mean? You're asking Kexin to settle the bill? Are you Kexin's kept man?"
I smiled slightly, picked up my wine glass, and downed the beer in one gulp. Seeing me drink the beer, Shi Ying sneered contemptuously, "Tang Nan, the successor of The Schemer, is nothing more than this."
"What did you say?"
I clutched my head and slumped onto the table, feeling groggy.
"Jiang Kexin, the little virgin, will be served by a strong man. Think about how you will explain this to Wang Ren afterward. Oh, I forgot to remind you, your own situation isn't optimistic either!"
Shi Ying whispered into my ear.
