Chapter 191: Stalker Tailgating a Female Star

After finding a place to exchange some local currency.

The Investigation Team set off.

Although they were completely clueless about the Sakura Country language.

But fortunately, before departing they had prepared thoroughly, each carrying a Translator.

With the help of the Translator, they could communicate with the locals, albeit a bit cumbersome.

The four took a car, heading to the Anman Hotel where Xu Mo's party was staying.

……

Before long, they arrived.

But this place was, after all, not the homeland, and their advantage as police officers was completely gone.

They didn't even have a reason to ask the front desk for Xu Mo's exact room number.

Knocking on each door one by one was obviously impossible.

Doing that might get them mistaken for a pervert.

If someone were to call the police again…

There was no other choice but to wait stubbornly, guarding the doorway for Xu Mo to emerge.

After squatting at the door for over an hour.

Chen Ke's stomach growled.

He awkwardly scratched his head.

"Um… Han Team, are you hungry?"

Since boarding the plane, none of them had eaten anything, and it had been so long that claiming they weren't hungry would be a lie.

So they all nodded, indicating they were hungry.

Chen Ke added, "Shall I go buy something to eat?"

"Alright, go ahead, we'll keep watch," Han Fei nodded, "Go quickly and come back fast."

"Got it, I'll be back as soon as I've bought food."

Saying that, Chen Ke turned and left.

He wanted to find a convenience store to buy a bento, rice balls, or at least some bread‑like food that could fill his stomach to bring back.

But he was completely unfamiliar with the area.

Chen Ke walked a long distance and still didn't find a convenience store.

"Where's the convenience store?" he muttered to himself.

Suddenly, Chen Ke noticed several men walking toward him, each with a lollipop in their mouth.

Seeing the lollipops, Chen Ke felt as if he had glimpsed hope.

He thought to himself, these lollipops must have been bought at a convenience store, right?

With that in mind, Chen Ke approached the men, Translator in hand, to strike up a conversation.

"Excuse me, may I ask where you bought the lollipops you're holding?"

Upon hearing this, the men's faces instantly displayed a intriguingly expressive look.

Although the language barrier remained and they could only communicate via Chen Ke's Translator, their gaze toward him was indeed unusually friendly.

Want to buy lollipops? You're a fellow enthusiast!

Without further ado, they pointed a direction for Chen Ke: "Walk five hundred meters ahead and you'll find lollipops!"

……

Following the direction indicated by the men, he walked five hundred meters.

Chen Ke arrived at a street block.

He noticed that almost every man passing by here had a lollipop in his mouth.

He, who wasn't chewing a lollipop, seemed like an oddity.

It was precisely because he didn't have a lollipop in his mouth.

As soon as Chen Ke entered the street, several heavily made‑up middle‑aged women stared at him.

They even tugged at him, asking whether he wanted to buy lollipops.

Chen Ke: "???"

What the hell is going on?

Is the competition for selling lollipops this fierce? Having to fight for customers?

Looks like the Sakura Country's economy isn't doing so well!

Eventually, one of the middle‑aged women dragged Chen Ke away.

The woman led Chen Ke to a restaurant…

At first, Chen Ke thought it was a place to eat.

He even imagined having a hearty meal and then bringing some food back to Han Fei and the others.

But soon, he realized something was off.

In the restaurant's glass window there was no food, but a young, strikingly cool‑clothed girl, who was looking at him with a shy, coquettish expression.

Years of police experience told Chen Ke.

This place was off; it wasn't a legitimate dining spot at all.

Here, they were probably pulling a 'selling dog meat under a sheep's head' scam.

This is a damn red‑light district!

Realizing this, Chen Ke said nothing, turned, and left the shop.

However, the shops on this street are all like this.

He had just stepped out of that shop when the madam of another shop tangled him up…

…

After a dozen minutes.

Chen Ke, carrying a bunch of bentos bought from a convenience store, returned to Anman Hotel.

"Han Team, here's the food I brought for you; eat quickly."

Han Fei looked up at Chen Ke, his expression a bit strange.

"What's up with your face?"

"Huh? What's wrong with my face?" Chen Ke asked, puzzled.

Li Chen reached out and pointed at Chen Ke, his tone full of bitter resentment.

"Look, there's a lipstick mark. You kid… you… were live streaming on site. Can you hide some people? Even if you clean it up before coming back?"

Chen Ke: "???"

Lipstick mark!?

He didn't do anything; where did the lipstick mark come from!

Suddenly, Chen Ke slapped his thigh; he remembered.

"Damn! I get it now. Earlier I went looking for a convenience store but couldn't find one, and I happened to see a few men with lollipops in their mouths. I thought their lollipops must have been bought at a convenience store, so I went up and asked."

"I followed the direction those guys pointed to, planning to find a convenience store to buy bentos, but the place they led me to was a red‑light district. I guessed the men with lollipops had just finished a job, and those without were potential customers. The women, upon seeing men without lollipops, would go up and solicit. I was fine at first, but damn… I couldn't get away!"

"You don't know, those women were each more enthusiastic than the last. One of them came up and blew a kiss at my face; the lipstick mark must have been left then…"

Upon saying that, Chen Ke deliberately emphasized it again.

"But I didn't take anything. I left, I left resolutely! If you don't believe me, check my wallet; I only spent money on bentos!"

Seeing Chen Ke say that,

Li Chen fell silent instantly.

His complexion a bit odd, he muttered, "Selling lollipops? Feitian Xindi? How does East Meridian have a place like that…"

"What Feitian Xindi? Have you been there?" Chen Ke asked.

"How could I? I could never go to such a place!" Li Chen shook his head resolutely. "I only heard about it from my friend! My friend told me everything!"

…

Meanwhile.

Xu Mo and his party took the elevator down.

They planned to go out for something to eat and, at the same time, observe traffic and pedestrian flow at each intersection, preparing for later actions.

Just as they arrived at the Da Ting, they hadn't stepped outside yet.

Sharp‑eyed Xu Mo, through the glass wall of the hotel lobby, saw four very familiar silhouettes.

"Hold off on going out; the Investigation Team is outside the door!"

Watching the four backs, Xu Mo hatched a plan.

He turned his head toward Yang Jingxuan.

"Did you bring sunglasses?"

"Got them, what's up?"

"Put them on, bring out that star aura that would make you disown even your six closest relatives, and cooperate with me a bit."

Saying that, Xu Mo led the four to the hotel front desk.

Seeing someone approach the desk, the front desk immediately smiled and asked in Sakura Country language.

"May I help you with anything?"

Xu Mo first pointed at Yang Jingxuan and babbled a string of words.

Then he pointed at the four silhouettes of the Investigation Team outside the door and babbled another string of words.

While Xu Mo spoke, the desk clerk kept nodding, occasionally glancing at Yang Jingxuan twice.

From Xu Mo's words, she realized that the people outside the hotel were perverts stalking a female celebrity!

To protect the safety and privacy of hotel guests, she finally grabbed the intercom.

She called for the hotel security…
