Some Street
After a brief car chase, you manage to stop Manager Zhao's car. In his car is a wooden box identical to those you found before.
When Manager Zhao is pulled out of the car, Artem restrains him by the wrist. He keeps muttering to himself angrily, which is in stark contrast to before.
Manager Zhao: Damn, I was this close! I was so close to succeeding...
Manager Zhao: You guys... ruined my happiness!!!
Luke: Happiness? What does this have to do with your happiness?
Hearing Luke's question, a hint of fury flashes across Manager Zhao's eyes.
Manager Zhao: Everything has a price in this world. With money, you can do anything.
Manager Zhao: My Anya left me because I had no money... And they promised me endless wealth and honor if I helped them...
Manager Zhao: If that happened, Anya would surely return to me!
Manager Zhao: So guess what? You guys... ruined my happiness!!!
Artem: So you knew who we were the moment you saw us?
Manager Zhao: Exactly.
Manager Zhao: Not only did I know who you guys were, but also what you guys were looking for.
Manager Zhao: I didn't think Boss Li would hide something so important in the wine cellar...
Manager Zhao: If I hadn't taken the time to follow you guys to A-Lan, I wouldn't have heard what A-Lan said...
Manager Zhao: Otherwise, I would've never known Boss Li was in possession of such an object. Oh, I'm so stupid...
You: (It seems... there was a third party at the scene all along.)
You: (He must have hidden in the hallway... We were too focused to notice him.)
You: Who are the "they" that you're referring to?
Manager Zhao: There are rules that everyone must follow in Xuzhou. My lips are sealed.
Manager Zhao closes his eyes, refusing to say anything else as if resigned to his fate. This is when Officer Zhong arrives at the scene.
Officer Zhong: Little Boss, Consultant Wing, Journalist Pearce... you guys again?
Officer Zhong: I got a report of a car chase in the residential area... Are you guys involved?
You: Yeah... because Manager Zhao stole something of ours, so we had to...
In a few short words, you explain everything that happened, omitting the heirloom and the fact that people have been trying to steal the pieces.
Manager Zhao is unusually cooperative, allowing you guys to say whatever you want.
Upon understanding the situation, Officer Zhong takes Manager Zhao to the police station as you all return to the Li Hotel.
