Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Chapter 162: Morning Breeze (Part )

The rainstorm in the middle of the night came unexpectedly.

The clouds seemed to be splashed with ink, rolling angrily in the sky, completely blocking the already sparse moonlight. Only the street lights were still firmly performing their duties.

But the rain was so heavy that the dense raindrops covered the light source, leaving only a dim scene.

Beijing is mostly quiet and peaceful at night. This uncontrollable rainstorm itself symbolizes an abnormality, not to mention that in such bad weather, there are still people willing to leave their warm beds and go out in the rain.

The young man was sitting behind the front desk in the hotel lobby. He was looking at the rainy street outside through the transparent glass revolving door. He thought that if it were him, he would still hesitate to work in such weather even if he was given more subsidies.

The hall was empty, with no one else there except him - this was the result of a clearing.

As early as last month, their boss had someone arrange this matter and postponed all appointments. No matter who came, they would not receive them.

Logically speaking, in this situation, the hotel should just close down to give him some peace and quiet so that he can get off work earlier and go home, just like his colleagues.

Unfortunately, not everyone can resist the temptation of money. In order to get a generous bonus, the guy needs to complete a task here which is not so difficult, but he doesn’t know when it will end.

——He is waiting for someone.

The boring waiting always consumes too much patience. The noise from the continuous rain disturbs people. The guy went from being fully focused at the beginning to being careless now.

He lay behind the counter, yawned slowly, glanced casually at the seemingly endless rain, then suddenly stopped and stood up straight.

A figure holding an umbrella appeared at the end of the street corner. Against all the lights, he looked blurry, but he was moving very fast. In the blink of an eye, he was standing at the door of the hotel.

The waiter's stupor and fatigue all disappeared at this moment. He stood up quickly and prepared to greet the midnight visitor.

Chi Yu pushed the door open with a bloody smell that could not be washed away even by heavy rain. He tapped the ground lightly with the tip of his umbrella, which was still dripping with water, and glanced at the only living creature in the open hall.

"Mr. Chi, you're here? It's raining heavily outside, please come in and take a rest."

The young guy enthusiastically led him to the rest area, came back with a dry towel and a cloth bag for rain gear, and began to slow down his pace five steps away from Chi Yu.

The waiter handed the dry towel on the tray to Chi Yu. After seeing Chi Yu pick it up, he wanted to take the umbrella from Chi Yu's hand and keep it for him, but he didn't expect to get a cold response.

"Don't touch."

The waiter paused, then quickly retracted his hand and said with a smile, "Sorry, Mr. Chi, I overstepped the line."

Seeing that the other party was tactful and no longer tried to touch his personal belongings, Chi Yu withdrew his gaze and continued to wipe the corner of his clothes that was slightly wet by the rain.

Heavy rain is always annoying, especially when combined with strong winds. If you want to travel in such weather, an umbrella alone is not enough, you also need a raincoat and rain boots.

Chi Yu has never been a person who likes such complicated dressing. What's more, he needs to use some force to solve the problems in those betting places belonging to the Jie family depending on the situation.

So after everything was over, when he was being watched leaving, he simply used a spell to give himself a temporary anti-contamination buff, but now it seems that this spell still needs to be improved.

Chi Yu thought casually and put the towel stained with wet breath back on the tray.

Seeing this, the waiter asked him, "Mr. Chi, do you want to rest now or go eat something first? Mr. Jie has already instructed that the room and food will be prepared for you."

Chi Yu did not respond to these two choices. He looked past the waiter and looked around the hall. "What is Black Glasses doing?"

The clerk's smooth speech was stuck for a moment because of this sentence. His expression was slightly stiff, and he answered with a stammer: "Black, black glasses...ah, Mr. Qi is not here. I think he was delayed by something unexpected on the way."

Hearing this, Chi Yu glanced at the waiter. He still looked emotionless, but the waiter read something meaningful from it: "Really?"

The guy looked at him and smiled very reluctantly: "That's it, Mr. Chi."

Chi Yu looked at the guy's bitter face and didn't plan to embarrass him any further. He just sighed and said, "If you dare to put your dirty hands on my face, you'll be dead."

"Who said that? My hands are clean."

A hand stretched out from behind his shoulder, quickly moved down beside Chi Yu's face, turned around, and rested on his shoulder.

Black Glasses felt a little regretful that he couldn't play the guess who I am game with Chi Yu, but this prank mood came and went quickly, disappearing without a trace in the next second.

The man with black glasses waved the waiter away, shook Chi Yu's shoulder in revenge, and asked him with a smile: "Boss Chi, I tried so hard to conceal my breath, how did you find me? Could it be that you saw me in the waiter's eyes?"

...Why would he look into other people's eyes for no reason? Not everyone is as idle as you.

Chi Yu was speechless for a moment, "I left a mark on you. No matter where you are, I will know it as long as I want."

"Wow, so you care about me so much, Boss Chi?"

Black Glasses said, letting go of Chi Yu and looking himself up and down, "But what kind of mark is this? It's so magical, I can't even feel it."

Because this is a built-in function of the system, of course it is magical.

Chi Yu automatically skipped the first half of Black Glasses' sentence and quietly watched him perform his exaggerated actions. He thought that although there were quite a few people on his follow list, Black Glasses was the only one on the white list who could contact him at any time.

It’s just that the people on this whitelist are too fond of abusing their power.

Thinking of this, Chi Yu snorted and was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.

Black Glasses was accustomed to Chi Yu's silence. Anyway, this was not a problem that needed to be thoroughly investigated.

It would be better to say that based on the experience of the last conversation, the word "get to the bottom of it" is no longer suitable to be associated with Chi Yu.

——Chi Yu always has reasons for keeping silent, so Black Glasses will not choose to mention his past again.

Black Glasses thought about it, and took Chi Yu upstairs. As they walked, they started a new topic:

"I thought you would finish earlier than me, but you just came down after I finished my rounds upstairs. Did you run into any trouble on the way?"

"There was an idiot who pulled out a gun at the end, and was reported by the neighbors. It took a little longer to deal with the police." Chi Yu said gloomily, "I really don't know who gave him the courage to do this during such a sensitive period. I'm afraid the IQ of these two generations of the Xie family is concentrated in Xie Yuchen."

"I can only use a knife, but he is much more capable than me. At least he is courageous." The man with black glasses smiled, and Chi Yu glanced at him indifferently, so he immediately changed the subject: "Of course, Boss Chi, you are definitely right."

After saying that, he quickened his pace, walked to the front of Chi Yu, turned his back and looked at Chi Yu carefully for a while: "So that idiot fired the gun, but didn't hurt you?"

"No." Chi Yu said, "Watch your back."

The man with black glasses didn't look back. He walked around the marble sculpture that blocked the road and said to him, "Don't worry, Boss Chi. I memorized the way when I came here just now."

"It looks like everything is going well for you."

"With Mr. Hei taking action, isn't it natural that it will go smoothly?"

Chi Yu smiled gently: "Really?"

The man with black glasses also laughed: "Well, I guess you don't have anything good in mind right now."
