"Who do you want to see?"
A soft yet slightly firm voice came from outside, and soon the door was slowly pushed open.
The figure stepped in wearing a long dark blue trench coat that reached the knees.
All the buttons were fastened, with a black hat and mask covering them completely from head to toe.
They strode into the room with quick and purposeful steps, shutting the door behind them with a swift turn of the lock.
Noticing this, Xu Linchuan chuckled lightly, "Oh, who could be sneaking around like this? Turns out it's our Star Jin."
Jin Yunzhi had joined a renowned domestic esports club at the age of sixteen.
At eighteen, he represented the nation's team in the S12 League of Legends World Championship and rose to fame in one decisive match.
Despite being an esports player, his fans clamored every day for him to make his entertainment debut because of his remarkable looks.
Jin Yunzhi shot Xu Linchuan a glare, "Don't bring that up again! I was just followed; nearly couldn't make it here."
He walked over to sit by Shi Wei's side, removing his hat and mask.
His dainty, oval face and those round, charming grape-like eyes had a clean and radiant allure.
He grabbed the teacup and downed a sip as if to quench his thirst, his cheeks slightly flushed while he panted gently.
"Didn't bring bodyguards?"
Shi Wei glanced at him, stretching his long legs lazily onto the mahogany table, casually draping his arm over the chair's armrest.
Jin Yunzhi shook his head, "No tournaments recently, so I gave them some time off."
"Next time something like this happens, just call me. I'll sort them out for you," Xu Linchuan leaned back in the lounge chair and tossed Jin Yunzhi a sly wink.
Jin Yunzhi, already accustomed to his antics, simply ignored him.
He turned to Shi Wei, pointing at Xu Linchuan, "Is he in a relationship?"
"Hm?"
"Who did he just say he wanted to see?"
"Oh—" Shi Wei elongated the tone, appearing solemn, "The Divine Thief?"
"What?!" Jin Yunzhi leaped from his seat, pointing at Xu Linchuan, "You—you're in a relationship with the Prince of Divine Thief?"
"You know him?" Xu Linchuan's eyes gleamed as he picked up his phone from the table.
"Xu Linchuan, how could you date a thief?" Jin Yunzhi said, exasperated. "If Uncle Xu finds out, he'll kill you!"
Xu Linchuan: "..."
He wordlessly opened the photo album on his phone again and handed it to Jin Yunzhi.
"I like women," Xu Linchuan offered an awkward yet polite smile, "We were just discussing the case."
The room fell silent for a moment.
Jin Yunzhi awkwardly rubbed the tip of his nose, "Oh... I thought..."
He plopped back into his seat and flipped through the album, scrutinizing each photo meticulously.
Halfway through, he gripped the phone and leaned closer, speaking with a mysterious air, "I heard he's extraordinarily elusive, can even fly, and knows the Bone Shrinking Skill."
Xu Linchuan slapped the table, "Exactly! He also has a Treasure Hunting Device—if he detects treasure, that guy can teleport instantly!"
Shi Wei: "..."
Jin Yunzhi: "He has twelve fingers, with long, sharp fingernails."
Xu Linchuan: "And a pair of terrifying, glowing green eyes, like a demon crawling out of Hell."
Shi Wei: "..."
The pair vividly described every detail, their demeanor turning extremely serious as they worked together to craft the image of the Prince of Divine Thief.
If the Lanting Square's melodious pipa tune were swapped for a sinister horror soundtrack, they could probably keep this up all day.
