Chapter 3 The Bet

“Easy! Guys!” Sterling took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead. “Do not let outsiders hear about the threatening letter, since it is likely to cause panic before the show.”

“I know!” They replied together. After all, this was not their place. The two of them knew very well what to do.

“Well, I will leave first since I have something else to do. If you guys have any questions, just ask Linda.” Sterling smiled and quickly disappeared from their sight.

“Excuse me, is there a dressing room?” Hugh asked Linda: “I want to change.”

“Yo, you actually do know what to wear, huh.” Hanfei said sarcastically: “I thought you would wear that to the exhibition.”

“Don’t worry, I am not so stupid that I don’t even know what to wear for this exhibition. Unlike a certain someone else in some shabby clothes. ”

“You……!”

“Just kidding.” Ouyang Hugh smiled, then followed Linda to the dressing room and disappeared into the exhibition hall.

“Ouyang Hugh …… The name sounds familiar, where did I hear it?” Hanfei thought for a while. In addition to the familiar name, when he saw him at first, his heart actually had a sense of familiarity, as if he had known him for a long time.

“Bo, have you heard of the name?” After he thought for a long time, Hanfei had no clue. He had to ask Bo to get some useful clues.

“I remember he seems to be quite famous.” Bo said, “He had solved a few cases in j.a.pan, France, Britain and many other countries. One of the most famous cases that he did was one on the case about the Royal Chamber murder that intrigued a lot of French detectives. ”

“I remember that!” Hanfei patted his head: “No wonder the name sounds so familiar.”

“Ah but over time, many Chinese people have gradually forgotten about this case, so the security officers did not recognize him.”

“Well, I also solved that case, too!” Hanfei felt disdain: “If I wasn’t sick, I would not have let him get all of the credit.”

“You are so confident. Do you want to make a bet?” Hugh slowly walked in, wearing a formal suit for the party. He always had a smile on his face, with sapphire blue eyes giving off a unique charm. His grey and silver hair attracted the young ladies around. People would never relate this look to the boy who had just fought with the security officers at the door.

“A bet? Elaborate please.” Hanfei smiled. Although his clothes were somewhat shabby, he was pretty handsome. Besides his unwillingness to submit, a unique charm gradually radiated from him.

“The case! Let’s see who can prevent the occurrence of the threat.”

“Oh ~ what about the stakes?”

“If you lose, I’ll have your reputation.”

“Do you know me?” Hanfei wanted to see through Hugh’s thoughts.

“Do not underestimate yourself. You have a great reputation.” Ouyang Hugh touched his silver-gray hair: “At least in j.a.pan, there were a lot of people who knew that you cracked the j.a.panese billionaire kidnapping case. This explains that your reasoning ability is not any poorer than mine. ”

“Well, I can promise that, but what if I win?”

“If I lose, I’ll give you a chance to make all the young people admire you.”

“Sounds tempting but, what exactly is this chance about?”

“When you win I’ll say it.”

“Then I’ll wait for it.”

“Good!” Hugh smiled, turned around and asked Linda: “Miss Linda, I want to ask you a question. Why isn’t there any cameras around the hall?”

Hanfei was slightly shocked. According to Hugh’s question he finally knew why he felt there was something wrong before. In such a big hall, there wasn’t a single camera. Not even a pinhole camera. It almost seemed as if the manager was waiting for someone to steal.

“That ah, the manager trusted Mr. Zheng Hanfei, so there is no need to install cameras.”

“He is really thinking highly of me. We have never even met before.” Hanfei felt somewhat helpless, but now it was too late. After all, the exhibition was about to begin. He couldn’t delay the exhibition to install cameras.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you? You’re making mistakes at this critical moment!” An argument could be heard from the display shelf. A middle-aged man was scolding a skinny young man and pointing at the display shelf.

“What happened?” Linda asked.
