"If that's the case, then Chuanzi can be ruled out, so Brother He must be the problem!"

Lu Han then turned his attention to Chen He, who immediately retorted, "Didn't I tell you last night? I'm going to see my cousin who lives here."

"Could it be that Brother Yu took some money for emergencies?" Xia Chuan asked again.

"Really? I don't think Tian Yu would do that," Tao Hong said, waving her hand.

Tian Yu, currently on the high-speed train: Ah Qiu! It must be Chao'er and the others missing me!

Deng Chao suddenly said, "Wait a minute! Besides Brother Yu, there's one person missing here!"

Zhang Yanqi shouted, "The king is exempt!"

Wang Chenyi asked uncertainly, "It shouldn't be Brother Hammer, right?"

Lu Han also shook his head: "Last night, Rabbit gave me all his money, I don't think it could be him."

Chen He clicked his tongue and said, "Not necessarily. What if it's just a way to spark discussion?"

Shu Chang asked, puzzled, "Then why would he do that? It doesn't make sense."

Chen He laughed and said, "Maybe they just want to mess with us."

Tao Hong: "You have such a dark side."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, but Liu Yifei's gaze remained fixed on Xia Chuan, who felt uneasy under her stare and finally had to ask, "Yifei, why are you staring at me like that?"

Before Liu Yifei could speak, Xia Nian interjected, "What else could we do? Of course, we're here to see if you have any problems, Old Xia!"

Then, holding a half-eaten ice cream in her left hand and a toy gun she'd found somewhere in her right, she pointed it at her elderly father and said sternly, "Hey! Old Deng!"

"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!"

"Confess everything immediately, or I, the righteous one, will have to kill your own family!"

Everyone was immediately amused by Xia Nian's "righteous indignation" act. Liu Yifei said with a smile, "I also think Nian Nian is right. Anyone who has a problem should hurry up and confess."

Xia Chuan scoffed, "How can anyone believe something without evidence?"

"wrong!"

Suddenly, Xiao Lu looked at Xia Chuan, Chen He, and Deng Chao and said, "The three of you all went out last night. Chuanzi and He Ge went out separately, about ten minutes apart. This morning, Chuanzi and He Ge kept complaining about Chao Ge's drinking capacity."

"Could it be... that the three of you got together, and then two of you got Brother Chao drunk?"

"Also, there was something wrong with the conversation between the three of you last night; it sounded like you were exchanging secret codes."

Lu Han looked at Xia Chuan and the other two with a look of sudden realization, but the events of last night became clearer in his mind. He then recounted what had happened last night, and the others looked thoughtfully at Xia Chuan and the other two, whose expressions varied.

In an instant, everyone's gaze towards the three changed.

"Alright, let's continue with Brother Chao's 'returning home in glory' plan." Xia Chuan immediately changed the subject when he saw that the atmosphere was not right.

But everyone smiled knowingly, each having their own plans.

Even the scapegoat mentioned by Deng Chao was suspected to be a director who had never appeared.

The group quickly tidied themselves up and prepared to go downstairs.

Meanwhile, in a hotel room, Wang Zhengyu, who had just finished tidying up and appeared to be awake but was actually unsteady on his feet, finally emerged.

"Those three bastards really got me drunk." Wang Zhengyu rubbed his temple with one hand, his face full of haggardness.

"Old Wang? You've finally woken up!"

At this moment, Director Li walked over.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhengyu frowned and asked, "Where are we now? Have Deng Chao and the others left?"

Director Li nodded, then looked Wang Zhengyu up and down before saying, "They just left, heading to the skating rink where Deng Chao used to play as a child."

Wang Zhengyu nodded: "That's good. As long as the process goes smoothly, that's fine. I was worried that Deng Chao wouldn't wake up today. By the way, how much money did you swindle from them last night? Are they still heavily in debt?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhengyu, who had been feeling somewhat unwell, instantly perked up and looked at Director Li with anticipation.

Seeing this, Director Li hesitated, then patted Wang Zhengyu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Old Wang, after I say this, you have to stay calm and don't get agitated."

Wang Zhengyu was puzzled, but still nodded: "Go ahead and tell me."

Director Li: "Last night, Xia Chuan and the others only paid for the initial bill. The seven bottles of liquor, two cases of beer, and other dishes they ordered later were all put on our bill by the waiter. When they left last night, Xia Chuan and Chen He helped Chao'er and you into the car and drove off."

"And they even tricked me into going to the front desk, and as soon as the receptionist heard that we were leaving, they immediately made me pay the bill."

"Twenty thousand, Lao Wang, you have to reimburse me for that."

"Are you even listening to me, Lao Wang?"

Wang Zhengyu stared blankly at Director Li, who was shaking his head bitterly, his mind buzzing, unable to hear anything.

Three seconds later.

"Ah!!! You bastard!"

"That's so insidious!!!"

Old Wang was so angry that his face turned red and he was panting heavily. If Director Li hadn't been supporting him, he probably would have fainted from anger.

Meanwhile, Xia Chuan and the others were unaware that Old Wang was about to die of anger; they had already arrived at the skating rink where Deng Chao used to go as a child.

Wow! Roller skates!

Xia Nian got excited and jumped around at the front desk. She only calmed down for a while after Liu Yifei gave her a nod. But her big eyes were fixed on the various roller skates on display.

Adults pay 20 yuan, children pay 10 yuan, that's 190 yuan in total, and there's 6,000 yuan left.

As Deng Chao was putting on his shoes, he looked arrogantly at everyone and said smugly, "This is my forte. Don't be too impressed by my handsomeness later!"

Chen He shook his head: "Everyone, ignore this show-off."

Tao Hong and Shu Chang burst out laughing, while Liu Yifei was helping the impatient Xia Nian put on her roller skates, giving her a warning look not to go too far and to be careful.

Xia Nian patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, godmother... I learned my skills from Dad!"

Xia Chuan, who was standing next to her, patted Xia Nian's little head and said with a smile to Liu Yifei, "Don't worry, my child's godmother, with me here, Nian Nian will be fine."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at the father and daughter, then snorted and started putting on her shoes.

"I see that none of you are very good at it, so I'll teach you the basics first." Already intending to show off a bit, Deng Chao explained as he walked, "For example, if you want to spin around, do it like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression became slightly serious. Then, he awkwardly slid backward, his legs stiffly drawing a half circle in place.

"Wow!" Tao Hong cheered, but then changed the subject, "Actually, he's not that handsome."

Deng Chao's face stiffened. At this moment, Lu Han said, "That's wrong, watch me!"

As he spoke, Lu Han demonstrated a smooth circle drawing for everyone.

"Little Deer Brother, behold my invincible Wind and Fire Wheels!"
