Chapter 7 Unintentional Hints

  But... where can I find a clue? Zheng Hanfei scratched his head in frustration, with the current situation, he had no way to start.

  Forget it, let's take a look at the conference room first! Zheng Hanfei knew that instead of wasting time thinking here, he might as well find some more valuable clues.

  "Hey, Xiao Fei, what are you doing?" Nan Ruoxuan asked.

  "Look for clues." Zheng Hanfei said calmly.

  "You don't believe what Xiaojie said?"

  Zheng Hanfei remained silent, continuing to stroke the pristine white wall with his hand, his eyes following the trajectory of his sliding hand, as if he didn't believe Gu Jie's words at all, and was determined to find the hidden passage in the room.

  "Stop it!" Nan Ruo Xun grabbed Zheng Han Fei's hand and shouted, "Don't you trust Xiao Jie? Why are you still doing things that will hurt Xiao Jie?"

  "Idiot!" Zheng Hanfei broke free from his restraints, pointing at Nan Ruoxuan's head and cursing, "When did I ever say that I didn't believe him?"

  "But you..."

  "Shut up! Do you understand or not?! I'm looking for clues, searching for the clue to Di Luo's disappearance! Don't you have any IQ at all?! Can't you see that Xiao Jie is also looking for clues just like me?!"

  As he spoke, Zheng Hanfei pointed to Gu Jie, who was also searching for clues on the ground, seemingly indicating that Nan Ruoxuan should help find clues instead of wasting time chattering.

  "I was wrong!" Nan Ruo Xun bowed his head and apologized, then turned around and sat down on the small sofa chair, lost in thought.

  Alas, I need to change this habit! Zheng Hanfei let out a helpless sigh. What's wrong with me? Because he couldn't think of a solution, he actually scolded Xiao Xun. Zheng Hanfei, you're not a real man.

  "Hey!" Gu Jie patted Zheng Hanfei's shoulder, causing the latter to jump slightly. "Go comfort her, she didn't do it on purpose. I'm here, don't you trust my observation skills?"

  Zheng Hanfei nodded, walked to Nan Ruoxuan's side, sat down slowly, glanced at her who was lowering her head and not speaking, coughed, and apologized with a slightly red face: "Sorry, I was wrong earlier, please forgive me!"

  “……”

  "Don't be angry." Seeing that the other person didn't react, Zheng Hanfei continued to apologize, "I was frustrated because I couldn't figure out Di Luo's technique, so I got a bit annoyed, and the rest... you should understand."

  "Really?" Nan Ruo Xun looked at Zheng Han Fei, her eyes filled with skepticism.

  "Really." Zheng Hanfei hastily nodded his head, "So don't be sulky anymore, or else it won't look good if others see you!"

  As he said this, Zheng Hanfei glanced at Kitty standing by the door, who was secretly laughing, and his eyes were full of warning.

  Katie just snorted disdainfully and turned her head to look elsewhere, as if telling Zheng Hanfei that she didn't even bother to look at him!

  "Alright, I forgive you!" Nan Ruo Xun put on a reluctant face, but the slight curve at the corner of her mouth revealed that she was no longer angry, and perhaps her previous expression was all an act, intended to see Zheng Han Fei's flustered appearance.

  I'm convinced by her! Zheng Hanfei let out a helpless sigh, glanced at the time and found that half an hour had already passed. With only three hours left until the appointed time, he was slightly startled - he hadn't expected that just comforting her would take up so much of his time.

  "Alas, nothing was found at all." At this time, Gu Zhe walked over with a dejected expression, "Not to mention hidden passages and the like, not even a speck of dust was discovered."

  "Alright, thanks for your hard work!" Zheng Hanfei patted the other person's shoulder, but his mind kept thinking, where? Where exactly? Where was the clue known as "note"?

  "Speaking of which, today's sunshine is really dazzling." Nan Ruo Xun glanced out the window, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and said with disgust, "I just don't like this kind of weather, it's annoying."

  "Don't say that," Gu Jie said. "Good weather means good mood, doesn't it? Between sunny and rainy days, which one do you like better?"

  "Of course it's sunny."

  Is it sunny? Is it cloudy? Zheng Hanfei, who was deep in thought, heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but look out the window. The blue sky, white clouds, and a few small birds flying across his line of sight, the sun had already risen high in the sky, but the sunlight was still so dazzling.

  Witnessing this scene, for some reason, Zheng Hanfei seemed to understand something, but he couldn't quite put it into words.

  "It's really hot to death!" Nan Ruo Xun complained, and immediately got up and walked to the window, pushed it open with force, and a gust of wind suddenly poured in, bringing a bit of coolness to this stuffy conference room.

  Huh? Just as Zheng Hanfei was enjoying the cool breeze, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him, extremely dazzling and making it impossible for him to open his eyes.

  What's going on? Zheng Hanfei couldn't help but cover his eyes from the glare, and suddenly, a flash of insight flashed through his mind, thoroughly grasping a clue, a clue that could make him understand how Di Luo disappeared.

  If my reasoning is correct, then in the corridor... Thinking of this, Zheng Hanfei immediately got up and ran out of the door, leaving Gu Jie and Nan Ruoxuan sitting on one side and standing by the window, stunned. Only Katie's face looked slightly heavy, standing by the door, thinking that he had solved this trick?

  "Haha, I knew it!" Zheng Hanfei laughed as he glanced at the corridor situation, "I really didn't expect it to be such a simple trick, so simple that I didn't even notice."

  "What's wrong? Is there any discovery?" Gu Jie and Nan Ruoxi rushed to Zheng Hanfei's side, asking anxiously.

  "Of course." Zheng Hanfei put his hands in his pockets, a confident expression returning to his face. "I've basically figured out how Di Luo disappeared."

  "What?!". Late-arriving Kitty, upon hearing this sentence, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Although his reasoning ability was very strong, this was too much - he had basically figured out Dilo's method in less than an hour.

  President, you're wrong! He's not comparable to you, but can surpass you. After all, he is two years younger than you!

  "But I haven't found any evidence yet, so my reasoning isn't established!" Zheng Hanfei ignored Katie's surprise and continued to speak to Gu Jie and Nan Ruoxuan, "Also, even if my reasoning is correct, I won't be able to tell you. I can only give you a hint, the rest is up to you to think about it. I'm a person who keeps his promises."

  "Ah." The two were instantly disappointed.

  "Alright, you two go back to the conference room and think about it for a while. I need to talk to Katie privately."

  "What's wrong?" Nan Ruo Xun hastily asked.

  "Of course it's about how Di Luo disappeared!" Zheng Hanfei said in puzzlement, "What do you think?"

  "There's nothing." Nan Ruo Xun turned his head to one side and muttered.

  It's really inexplicable! Zheng Hanfei scratched his head, then pulled Kitty and disappeared around the corner.

  "Hey! What are you doing!" Kitty said with some indignation as she struggled free from Zheng Hanfei's grasp.

  "Alright, it should be fine here!" Zheng Hanfei first swept a glance around and then went back to check if Gu Jie and Nan Ruoxuan had really returned to the conference room. Only then did he turn to a bewildered Katie and say: "Okay, stop pretending, tell me, is Dilo still in the 'conference room'?"

  "What did you say?" A hint of panic flashed in Kitty's eyes, thinking that he had just said that there was no evidence. Why did he come to a conclusion so quickly? Was it...

  "Come on, stop pretending. Do I need to spell it out for you?" Zheng Hanfei shrugged and leaned in close to Katie's ear, slowly revealing his reasoning.

  "But your theory is completely without evidence!" Katie smiled slightly, as if she had found a counterattack point, but her flustered eyes indicated that Zheng Hanfei's reasoning was entirely correct.

  "Evidence? The so-called 'Five-Line Proof' evidence?" Zheng Hanfei said with a hint of playful smile.

  It's all over! Katie let out a sigh, she knew that Zheng Hanfei had already understood, and no matter what excuses she made, it would be useless, otherwise, it would only be self-inflicted humiliation.

  "If my reasoning is correct, Di Luo should still be in that place!" Zheng Hanfei said, "Of course, I'm not familiar with this place, which may prove that my reasoning is wrong. But I have other evidence, the room where the thing was hidden and Nan Ruoxuan..."

  "Stop it!" Kitty interrupted, "If you keep talking like that, I'd rather listen to Gu Jie and Nan Ruoxuan's reasoning!"

  "That's also true!" Zheng Hanfei nodded, "Alright, I won't disturb you anymore. You'd better adjust your mindset, otherwise, let Little Jie see through the cracks, he'll easily think of you... Ah, I won't say the rest, take care of yourself."

  After finishing speaking, Zheng Hanfei turned around and left. What he had to do now was to return to the conference room and provide some hints for Gu Jie and Nan Ruoxuan.

  "Wait!" Kitty cried out.

  "Anything else?"

  "How did you discover this technique."

  "This is... " Zheng Hanfei smiled, "I have to thank Xiaoxun for this. She's an incredible maid! From now on, I won't underestimate her again. Unknowingly, she helped me a lot!"
