Xinghua Lane
After asking for directions multiple times on Yingxing Street, you finally get your hands on the address of Supervisor Zhao's home.
At the same time, you discover that Supervisor Zhao has been working as the head supervisor of the Li Hotel for five years...
However, he has been resting at home recently due to physical illnesses. That is why the hotel has been under the management of the others.
You walk for a while and stop on a busy street. The structures behind the vendors on both sides are residential buildings.
This street is different from the loud and lively one from before, the buildings are older here and filled with life.
Luke: The old grandpa said that Supervisor Zhao's place is on Xinghua Lane No.132 on West Yingxing Street... That should be it, right?
Luke raises his brow and points at a door behind a wine shop.
You: That should be it. I'll go knock and ask.
After knocking on the door a few times, a deep and hoarse male voice sounds from the other side of the door.
???: I'm coming, I'm coming...
As the door slowly opens, an old man dressed in a changshan appears in front of you.
He looks to be confused at the sight, and his expression morphs into one of wariness.
???: Who are you guys... looking for?
Marius: Does Supervisor Zhao live here?
Supervisor Zhao: I am Zhao. And you are...?
You: Hello, Supervisor Zhao, I am a distant relative of Uncle Li. I've recently taken over the Li Hotel.
Supervisor Zhao: I do recall something similar... Li told me about it before. Are you the Little Boss here to take over his hotel?
You: Yep, that's me.
Supervisor Zhao sizes you up, then glances at the other four. The wariness on his face has yet to fade.
Supervisor Zhao: And... who are the other four? Are they employees of the hotel?
You: Ahh, they're my friends...
Supervisor Zhao finally lets his guard down after you introduce the four. His cautious expression turns into sadness.
Supervisor Zhao: I see. *Sigh*... Ever since Li went missing, my health has gotten worse as well.
Supervisor Zhao: I'm really sorry for not being able to help you with the hotel.
You: Supervisor Zhao, please, it's not a problem at all. Everything is just fine at the hotel.
Vyn: Yes, there is always someone looking after the hotel. It is running smoothly...
Artem: Supervisor Zhao, don't worry and focus on resting.
You guys look at one another as everyone avoids talking about Boss Qian.
Supervisor Zhao: I see. Good to know.
Supervisor Zhao: When I'm better, I'll return to the hotel immediately...
Supervisor Zhao: Ahh, I've been talking about myself all this time. Little Boss, I suspect you are here because of the matter Li had planned before, correct?
Supervisor Zhao changes the subject and gazes directly at you.
You: Yeah... it's about the Li Family heirloom. Uncle Li left me a letter and told me to come find you.
You have no choice but to go with an excuse you just made up. You bat your eyelashes at Supervisor Zhao, hoping he'll understand.
Supervisor Zhao: The family heirloom...
Supervisor Zhao: Oh, yes, I know what you're talking about. Come with me, Little Boss. Gentlemen, please wait for a moment.
You look at the other four and nod toward them before entering the door with Supervisor Zhao...
When you return to the entrance, the four quickly approach you.
Luke: How was it? Did you get it?
Marius: Where did Supervisor Zhao take you? What's with all the mystery...? You guys didn't even take us with you.
Marius: Hmm? Where is Supervisor Zhao?
You: ...
Vyn: The Little Boss will not be able to answer all your questions at once.
Artem: Yes, we should make our inquiries after she tells us what happened.
Luke and Marius stop their barrage of questions after hearing what Vyn and Artem said. They continue to stare at you.
You: After going inside with Supervisor Zhao, he gave something to me and went to rest.
You: He said that Uncle Li asked him to hold on to it for me...
You: But... it's not the treasure that I had in mind.
You show them the item that Supervisor Zhao gave you.
It's a cyan bamboo container with a short note and a key inside.
Marius: The note... It's another address—No.7 Weiyu St.
Luke: Did Boss Li hide the heirloom there?
Artem: We should go there and find out.
Vyn: I agree.
You: Let's go.
The five of you take another look at the door and head out to the address on the note...
