363: Chapter 363 Unlucky Guy

Yan Zheng pursed his lips and replied, "If I bring my luggage, I won't be able to enter your company."

Hearing this, Shen Yan pictured the scene in his mind: Yan Zheng lugging suitcases and bags into his company.

After imagining it, he felt that what Yan Zheng said made sense.

If Yan Zheng really did that, the receptionist would be the first to throw him out.

While he was lost in thought, Yan Zheng had already opened the door to the room.

As soon as the door opened, the expressions on both their faces changed.

Yan Zheng's packed suitcase was open, and clothes were strewn everywhere.

If Shen Yan wasn't mistaken, a thief must have already visited this place.

Yan Zheng anxiously rushed into the room, opened a small pocket in his suitcase, and rummaged inside.

"It's gone..."

Shen Yan frowned and asked Yan Zheng, "Your ID card is missing?"

Yan Zheng shook his head, his face pale.

"My Bank card is missing... and my passbook..."

Shen Yan: "..."

He let out a deep sigh, walked over, patted Yan Zheng's shoulder, and said, "You pack your things first, then come with me to a hotel. We'll deal with the rest later."

Yan Zheng didn't move.

A few seconds later.

He suddenly got up and rushed downstairs.

"Did you steal my Bank card!"

Hearing the roar, Shen Yan quickly ran down.

In front of him, Yan Zheng was grabbing the collar of the hotel owner and interrogating him.

Clearly, Yan Zheng was furious about the incident.

The hotel owner was a very skinny and short old man.

He acted as if he couldn't understand Yan Zheng's words, asking him, "What are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying about Bank cards or whatever. I only use cash."

Yan Zheng didn't believe his nonsense at all. He told the hotel owner, "Only you have the key to the door. The person who stole my Bank card must be you. Give me back my Bank card!"

The hotel owner coughed and said to Yan Zheng, "I really don't know what you're talking about. What does it have to do with me if you lost something?!"

"Before you checked in, I already told you to look after your own belongings. Who told you not to take your Bank card out? If you lost something, it's your own problem!"

Yan Zheng never expected the hotel owner to turn the tables on him; his entire face turned red with anger.

"You! You! I didn't take my Bank card out because I was afraid of losing it. If it weren't for that, how could I not take my Bank card with me!"

"I don't care. You must give my Bank card back. If you don't give it back, I will... I will..."

Seeing that Yan Zheng was about to explode with anger, Shen Yan quickly intervened, "Alright, it's useless to hold onto him and question him like this. He won't admit to stealing your Bank card."

"Let him go first, and then tell me how much money you had in your card?"

Yan Zheng reluctantly let go of the hotel owner's collar and replied to Shen Yan, "Six thousand four hundred thirty-two yuan and sixteen cents."

Shen Yan: "... You remember it quite clearly, even down to the last two digits."

Yan Zheng's eyes turned red with anger.

"But that's all the money I have on me right now. Without this money, I can't even afford a ticket home."

The nineteen-year-old boy still lacked the ability to handle a crisis.

Thinking this, Shen Yan sighed again.

"Alright, I get it. I'll call the police now."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The hotel owner spoke up from the side.

"Calling the police won't help either. I don't have any surveillance cameras here, and the cameras at the entrance are broken too."

Oh dear! It seems like he's a habitual offender.

Shen Yan thought to himself while saying to the hotel owner, "Since there are no surveillance cameras, it seems we won't be able to find the thief. But that's fine. If we can't find the thief, we'll find something else."

As he spoke, he looked around.

"Your establishment here... it looks like the fire safety measures aren't up to par."

The hotel owner's face stiffened.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My fire safety measures have always been very thorough. There are two fire extinguishers in every floor's corridor!"

Shen Yan chuckled softly.

"Stop trying to fool me with these petty tricks. If I'm not mistaken, all your fire extinguishers are expired, aren't they?"

"It's fine if you don't admit it. I'll call them right now to come over and inspect things."

Before he finished speaking.

The owner started begging for mercy.

His hotel did not have a business license.

If someone really came to inspect, just the lack of a business license and the expired fire extinguishers would be enough to force his hotel to close for over half a year.

"Alright, alright, you... you don't call the police. Let's talk this over properly. How much money did he say he lost just now?"

Hearing the question, Yan Zheng replied through gritted teeth, "Six thousand four hundred thirty-two yuan and sixteen cents!"

The hotel owner nodded, took out his cell phone, and said, "Although I didn't lose your Bank card, I can transfer the money to you now."

As soon as the words fell, Yan Zheng immediately took out his phone.

As the saying goes, an opportunity lost is never regained.

Having finally intimidated the hotel owner into paying compensation, how could he let go of this chance?

The hotel owner didn't expect Yan Zheng to pull out his phone so quickly. He froze for a moment before continuing to scan the code to pay with his phone.

"Did you receive the money?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Yan Zheng nodded.

"Good. Since you've received the money, let's pack up and leave."

Yan Zheng had no objections.

The two went upstairs again to pack their luggage in the room, and then they left the hotel together.

Before leaving, Shen Yan specifically glanced at the flashing sign next to the hotel.

Ten minutes later.

Shen Yan dialed the 12345 hotline in the car.

"Hello, I want to report a hotel for using expired fire safety equipment..."

After finishing the call, Shen Yan noticed Yan Zheng looking at him with an expression he couldn't quite decipher.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yan Zheng blinked and replied in an admiring tone, "I... I didn't expect you to actually report this hotel."

Hearing this, Shen Yan shook his head and replied with a smile, "I'm not some great person whose words, once spoken, cannot be taken back. He paid you the money, that's true, but I never said I would let him off the hook just like that."

As he finished speaking.

Yan Zheng showed a distinct smile.

"I think this is very good. I like the way you handle things."

"Actually, even if you hadn't made this call, I would have done it. I hold grudges, and I have a very strong desire for revenge."

Shen Yan: "Since you have such a strong desire for revenge, you must have already figured out the fate of your cheap father, right?"

Yan Zheng put away the smile on his face and said nothing.

Shen Yan also didn't continue the conversation on that topic.

After driving for half an hour.

Shen Yan stopped the car in front of a five-star hotel.
