Chapter 162: Recovery Pill
In the evening, Zhou Fan left the hotel and headed for the high-speed rail station with Li Xing and Li Yue.
If it were just Zhou Fan, he wouldn't have attracted any attention. But with a pair of twins by his side—identical in speech, mannerisms, and dress—he became the center of attention wherever he went.
The two women stuck close to his side—one in a long white dress, the other in a long black dress.
"I'm starting to regret bringing you two out," Zhou Fan grumbled under his breath. He had just gotten off the high-speed train and exited the station in Hui Province, only to be swarmed by a crowd of taxi drivers.
"It's because you are so remarkable, sir. That's why they're acting so crazy," Li Xing, in her long white dress, said softly, leaving both Zhou Fan and Li Yue stunned.
'A compliment like that... from Li Xing, of all people?'
"Good point! You've got a great point. That's why you're the big sister!" Zhou Fan said, beaming. He didn't care whether the two women were willing or not; he grabbed one by the hand with each of his own and swaggered away, leaving a crowd of onlookers consumed by envy.
"Damn it, who is that guy? He's holding both their hands!"
"Fuck, and they're twins!"
"Forget that they're twins, the point is they're both gorgeous!"
"Are you blind, God? Why does an ugly guy like him get a pair of beautiful twins, while a handsome man like me is stuck here hustling for fares?"
Zhou Fan couldn't be bothered with the onlookers' complaints. After the taxi took a winding route for over half an hour, he got out in front of a hotel.
According to the intelligence Zhou Fan had received, Xiaobu was living in a residential building behind the hotel. Given Xiaobu's alertness, getting too close would surely lead to being discovered. That was why Zhou Fan chose the hotel; from there, he could observe everything across the way through a window at all times.
"Hi, two rooms," Zhou Fan said, leading the two women to the front desk and taking out his ID.
"One will be fine," Li Xing interjected. As she saw it, this was just a temporary base of operations, so one room was sufficient. If anything unexpected happened, they could also provide immediate support.
"The three of you... in one room?" The receptionist was a little dumbfounded. She looked at Li Xing, then at Li Yue, and finally gave Zhou Fan a careful once-over. 'He's kind of handsome, sure, but is he handsome enough for *this*?'
"Yes, one room. Is that a problem?" Li Yue asked in confusion.
The two sisters thought in exactly the same way. The only reason they dressed in black and white was for Zhou Fan's sake, as they were worried he wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
Little did they know, Zhou Fan had his own unique way of telling the older sister from the younger.
Li Xing, the older sister, was a tiny bit bigger.
And Li Yue, the younger sister, was a tiny bit smaller.
For now, however, only Zhou Fan knew this method of telling them apart, and he could apply it with practiced ease. After all, he possessed a pair of eyes that could see through anything.
When they got to the room, Zhou Fan paid no mind to the large, round bed. Instead, a scarlet light flashed in his eyes as he began scanning for hidden cameras. For some reason, however, the sisters' faces instantly flushed red, though they quickly composed themselves.
Before long, Zhou Fan had found two miniature pinhole cameras in the room. He turned to the sisters. "See that? In the future, when you two are on a mission alone, you have to check for these carefully."
"You two get some rest for now. My injuries haven't fully healed, so later on, I might need you to take the lead on the assault." Zhou Fan walked to the window and found the one with drawn curtains not far away. His gaze pierced through all obstacles, and he saw Xiaobu lying inside the room.
There were several other people beside Xiaobu. The distance was too great for Zhou Fan to gauge their strength, but he assumed they were all masters in their own right.
One thing did surprise Zhou Fan, however: Xiaobu appeared to be injured. If that was the case, the twins' chances of winning against him would be much higher.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
At the sound, the sisters shot to their feet. Daggers in hand, they moved quickly and silently to either side of the door, their faces filled with wariness.
Zhou Fan frowned slightly as well, but after seeing who was standing outside, he signaled for the two women to relax.
"Are you crazy? Didn't I say I wouldn't help you guys unless there was something significant in it for me?" Zhou Fan said impatiently, opening the door without even looking.
"Damn, Bro, that's why I'm here! To bring you that 'something significant'!" Fan grumbled as he and He Yi walked in. He didn't forget to flash a smile at the two sisters standing by the door with daggers drawn.
However, Li Xing and Li Yue ignored Fan, their former captain. They simply shut the door and stood in front of it, blocking his and He Yi's exit.
"Hey, what's the big idea, you two? Are you worried I'm going to hurt him? Don't forget, you two are from the Wolf Fang Training Camp!" Fan grumbled. He turned and walked over to Zhou Fan, taking out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle. "You're a real piece of work. My master and those other old-timers paid a hefty price to trade for this from someone else. It's called a Recovery Pill. Not only does it rapidly heal internal injuries, but it also has an amazing effect on external wounds. There are sixteen of them in total."
