Zhao Yao was left speechless by their idiotic requests but still gave in to them as he pasted the stickers with their requested descriptions on their back.
Elizabeth was secretly observing this scene as a corner of her lips lifted and exclaimed, "Zhao Yao, I also want a sticker!"
"What words do you want on your sticker?"
Elizabeth replied, "I"m just furry, I"m not fat."
Meanwhile, Old Man Zhuang was aimlessly staring at the flooring when he noticed Mango curiously looking at him. A smile crept up his face as he commented, "Oh what a cute little kitty! Come straight into grandpa"s arms." He then began slapping against his thighs to invite Mango over.
Usually, cats that were more affectionate would jump right into the humans" arms when they saw this gesture. That was why Old Man Zhuang tried slapping his thighs.
This trick actually worked on Mango as he leaped onto his laps and buried himself in Old Man Zhuang"s arms.
"Haha, you are an obedient little cat," Immediately after Old Man Zhuang made that comment, the smile on his face disappeared. He lowered his head and noticed that Mango"s b.u.t.t was covered in residual feces. Mango started rubbing his b.u.t.t against Old Man Zhuang"s arms before running away.
Ah Wei stared in shock as he observed the feces smeared all over Old Man Zhuang"s pants and hurriedly went forward, "Chief! I"ll go get new pants for you right now!"
"It"s okay. I"m perfectly fine" Old Man Zhuang replied with an awkward smile plastered on his face. "Don"t you forget that I used to be a soldier who toiled in mud and sand? I"m not afraid of this." He then fixed his eyes on Ah Wei and his expression suddenly turned extremely stern. "Pa.s.s me the pair of trousers that you are currently wearing?"
Ah Wei was bewildered by Old Man Zhuang"s request.
Moments later, Ah Wei was seen das.h.i.+ng into the shopping mall in a pair of trousers that was smeared in feces. Onlookers stared at him with a curious expression on their faces. However, Ah Wei was too embarra.s.sed to even raise his head.
Zhao Yao initially found the group of men in black a slightly menacing group of people. However, his impression of them changed after interacting with their amiable chief. He then retreated to his seat and focused all his energies on his computer.
The effects of Celestial Beats on Old Man Zhuang"s body were extremely stark. With this "full body therapy", Old Man Zhuang had unknowingly gone to sleep as he laid on the couch in the café.
His body had acc.u.mulated numerous toxins and problems from his long-standing career in the military and the government agencies. Various health problems and ailments started surfacing as he grew older.
However, Celestial Beats provided him a serenity that he had not enjoyed for a long time.
At the same time, a group of cosplayers donning their costumes and colorful wigs began streaming into the café.
This group was the one led by Coco Sun. After their fantastic experience the first time they came, they had turned into frequent customers themselves. This had helped sparked Zhao Yao"s business significantly.
They needed no explanation from Baiquan or s.h.i.+ Yu as they proceeded to their usual spots in the café. Some were using their phones while others were playing with their favorite cats. Some treated the café as their ideal hangout place while others treated it as their nap spots.
The group of men in black led by Ah Wei noticed the influx of customers and immediately went on guard. They inched towards Old Man Zhuang and effectively formed a human wall to s.h.i.+eld him from any possible attacks.
Old Man Zhuang remained fast asleep despite the racket caused by the influx of customers. There were no signs of him waking anytime soon.
Ah Wei was pleasantly surprised from this scene. Actually, Old Man Zhuang was an extremely light sleeper and had a history of insomnia. This was the first time he saw him sleeping so soundly.
Old Man Zhuang came over two more times in the subsequent days. He seemed a lot healthier than before as his skin radiated a healthy glow. It also looked like Celestial Beats had helped prevent his condition from worsening. He even thought of inviting his old friends over to the café.
Even though Old Man Zhuang always came with his entourage of men in black, Zhao Yao still regarded them as regular customers.
In a building opposite the cafe, Sun Meng was carefully observing the situation using her binoculars. She was hiding behind a tiny ledge and peered out of a toilet"s window on the third floor of the building.
Her eyes continually swept between Elizabeth and Zhao Yao"s directions. Finally, she fixed her eyes on Ah Wei and Old Man Zhuang.
She detected an extremely unusual aura from these two men.
Other than Ah Wei, the remaining men in blacks" movements were unusually stiff and rigid. They definitely were not regular customers of the café.
This was the reason which stopped her from taking Elizabeth back the moment she located the café.
"Elizabeth is just there waiting for us! However, these people seemed like government officials." Sun Meng considered striking now, but she gave up the thought as she did not want to attract any unwanted attention. She was just waiting for them to take their leave.
Her eyes darted back to Elizabeth, and she whispered, "Almost, I"m almost there, Elizabeth. I"ll be getting you home soon."
Sun Meng had failed multiple times previously as she infiltrated the wrong cafés and could not locate Elizabeth. This was because of her weak reconnaissance and intel gathering abilities. Her source of information was too limited.
She only managed to locate Elizabeth after receiving some help from her "partners" which she met recently.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous boom in the toilet. This was followed by a loud flus.h.i.+ng sound and a middle-aged man walking out of his cubicle. Sun Meng was taken aback by this scene.
"Who are you? Why are you in the female toilet? Pervert!"
"Don"t worry, it"s me!" The middle-aged man replied calmly.
Sun Meng only realized that he was her new found "partner" after he clarified. He seemed to have the ability to possess someone else"s body.
"You are in no position to ask me to calm down! Even you are not supposed to appear in the female toilet. You are just a disgusting pervert!" Sun Meng retorted.
A tinge of embarra.s.sment flashed across the middle-aged man"s eyes as he struggled to reply, "I have no choice. This area only provided male bodies for me to possess. This is why I"m in the girl"s toilet in this form."
"Why do you have to enter the girl"s toilet?" Sun Meng rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Can"t we just talk later?"
"I"m afraid that you might act out of impulse. That old man over there is an extremely important person. He is the reason why I came to Jiangmen city. I do not want you to create a commotion in the café before I complete my mission."
"This old man?" Sun Meng was intrigued by this old man"s ident.i.ty, "Are you going to a.s.sa.s.sinate or kidnap him?
"Neither," The middle-aged man gave a lopsided smile and continued, "I want to control him. As long as I have him, no one can stop us in our future missions. I"ve had my eyes on him for a long time. The place which he originally stayed at had a strong fortification, making it impossible for me to penetrate it and control him."
Sun Meng finally understood the situation, "However, now that he is inside this café. There are not many defenses that can stop you from controlling him."
"Yes. According to my research, the owner of this café is also an apostle. He has some sort of healing power. He had been working in this café since he started co-operating with the government." The middle-aged man started laughing and said, "This old man is a powerful individual. Obviously, he values his life much more than ordinary people like you and me. He is only here to make use of the apostle"s power to improve his health. This is my best chance!"
"Then what are you waiting for?" Sun Meng asked as she fixed her eyes on her beloved Elizabeth, "Just act now." Sun Meng could not wait to reunite with Elizabeth.
