"Mr. Zhang, I met that person. No, it's the one who made me weak and drained my essence."
Liss spoke into the phone, her voice urgent and excited, like she was reporting something.
At the same time.
Hawaii, a high-end restaurant in a nationwide hotel chain.
Liss leaned back on a sofa at a table by the floor-to-ceiling window, turning her head to look behind her. Not far away, a man sat there, his face with sharp angles, complemented by sapphire-like blue eyes, a typical handsome Western man.
It was visible.
His handsome appearance attracted the attention of many diners around him. Both men and women would glance at him more than once.
Liss spoke to Zhang Wei on the phone, her gaze never leaving the man.
However.
This wasn't because she was aroused or infatuated, but because she recognized him. He was the culprit who had met her at the bar last week, had relations with her, and subsequently left her physically weak.
Before this, she had come here with colleagues to negotiate business with a client. Relying on her persuasive tongue, the client was very satisfied and agreed to the business cooperation.
But before Liss could be happy.
As she was preparing to escort the client out, Liss had just stood up when her peripheral vision caught sight of the familiar man walking into the restaurant from the entrance.
Upon recognizing the man.
Liss immediately became excited. Wasn't this the 'ghost' Zhang Wei was looking for, the one who had harmed her?
Immediately.
Liss feigned a stomach ache, asking her colleagues to escort the client downstairs while she herself sat at the table, turning her head away to avoid being noticed by the man, secretly observing him, and calling Zhang Wei.
At this moment.
Far outside the hotel, on the shopping street of Hawaii.
Zhang Wei stopped as he heard Liss's words and said,
"Miss Liss, are you sure you saw the right person?"
"Absolutely certain. I'd recognize him even if he were ashes. Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment, I'll secretly take a photo of him and send it to you, along with my location."
Liss nodded repeatedly. To avoid being discovered, she withdrew her gaze, secretly picked up her phone, and took a photo of him.
She wasn't afraid of her actions being discovered.
The reason was simple.
The man was very handsome, and with people around taking photos of him, her actions would at most be mistaken for someone posting on Twitter. Moreover, with his looks, he must have been with many women and was unlikely to remember a 'prey' from a week ago.
A moment later.
With a ding.
Zhang Wei clicked on the photo Liss had sent.
It was a photo of a dining table with a handsome Western man sitting at it:
"No wonder Miss Liss fell for him. With this disguised appearance, Western women would find him appealing."
As he said this.
Zhang Wei thought of something, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Zhang Chao's crow's mouth was kissed by the Tathagata himself, blessed by him? He's only been in Hawaii for less than half a day and has already encountered two ghosts. I just don't know if the quality of this ghost is good enough."
"Perhaps... I should find a time to have Zhang Chao bless me, so I can encounter a ghost king? Never mind, I'm here in Hawaii for a vacation. If I keep encountering ghost kings, it'll be troublesome, and I won't be able to enjoy my vacation."
He muttered to himself.
Zhang Wei called Liss back:
"Miss Liss, I've received the address. I'm heading over to your location now. Don't follow the man. If he leaves the restaurant, just let me know."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll wait for you. He shouldn't be leaving anytime soon. Based on my years of experience, he's probably trying to pick up women and treat them to a meal."
Liss nodded and secretly glanced at the man again before quickly withdrawing her gaze.
In the past.
If she met this man again, she might have gone up to strike up a conversation and have another go. But now that she knew his identity, she didn't dare to approach. After all, she wanted pleasure, not to court death.
...
A moment later.
Outside the global chain hotel.
Zhang Wei got out of a taxi and looked up at the towering, luxurious hotel building in front of him:
"It seems that the man is indeed the one who caused Miss Liss's physical weakness."
Although he hadn't seen the man, Zhang Wei, with his ghost king-level strength, could vaguely sense a faint ghostly aura emanating from the hotel building. He hadn't felt it when he checked in earlier. Combined with this, it wasn't difficult to ascertain the situation.
Without hesitation.
Zhang Wei quickly entered the hotel elevator and went to the floor where Liss was located.
As soon as he entered.
He looked around and saw Liss sitting by the window, subtly waving at him.
At the same time.
Zhang Wei noticed the man sitting at a nearby table behind Liss, and his eyes flickered:
"Vampire?"
With his Heavenly Eye, Zhang Wei immediately saw the sinister ghostly aura emanating from the man.
Furthermore.
Unlike the photo Liss had sent, there was now a woman sitting opposite the man, chatting and laughing with him. Zhang Wei could tell that the woman was not a ghost, but a normal person.
"Mr. Zhang, that's the man I told you about. See, I was right, he's picking up women."
Liss sat down and gestured for Zhang Wei to look in the man's direction, a hint of smugness in her voice.
Zhang Wei smiled and nodded:
"Miss Liss, you are truly experienced."
"Of course. I never lie about these things."
"Miss Liss, you're not wrong about this. Your previous guess was also correct. I just took a look, and that man is indeed a ghost."
As Zhang Wei spoke.
Liss's breath hitched, and she exclaimed:
"My God, he really is...?!"
Fortunately, Liss reacted quickly and covered her mouth. Although she still attracted the attention of those around her, especially in a high-end Western restaurant where people rarely spoke loudly. Among them, the man also looked over.
In response.
Zhang Wei calmly offered an apologetic glance to those around him. The man glanced at Zhang Wei. Due to the angle, he couldn't see Liss's face, as she had her back to him. He then withdrew his gaze and continued to chat with the girl at his table.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang. I got carried away for a moment."
"It's alright, I don't mind. However, your scream, Miss Liss, was indeed very skillfully delivered."
Fearing that Liss would feel guilty and alert the target, Zhang Wei made a risqué joke to change the subject.
Liss was quite pleased and smiled:
"Mr. Zhang, you're so witty. Actually, my scream is nothing. I can scream more skillfully. I've tried screaming before, and it made people surrender immediately."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Since the man hadn't left yet, Zhang Wei continued to chat with Liss.
The two chatted for a while.
Not long after.
The man seemed to be engrossed in conversation with the woman at his table. With a polite smile, the man made a suggestion, and the woman nodded, stood up, and was led away by the man, who put his arm around her.
Seeing this.
Zhang Wei didn't say much. He stood up and said,
"Miss Liss, let's follow them. If they check into a room, you can help me book a room next to the man's."
"Hmm? Mr. Zhang, what kind of perverse taste is that, staying next to a ghost? It sounds quite stimulating, I like it. Let's hurry and follow them, I can't wait."
"Miss Liss, you've misunderstood, and you're being vulgar. I meant booking a room... to eavesdrop. Because it's my first time seeing a vampire, I want to see if vampires suck blood, and how they drain a person's essence."
