48 Hours a Day - Chapter 1343:
Chapter 1343: Cupid
Seeing Zhang Heng and Saji walk out of the bedroom one after the other, Miss Succubus had a strange expression on her face, but she didn’t say anything in the end.
Saji, on the other hand, quickly explained with a red face, “I helped him with a mental treatment inside.”
“Yes, you told me. He had a nightmare earlier, and we all heard his sleep talk,”Miss Succubus said. “It seems like the treatment was quite effective.”
“No, I didn’t help much.”Sage waved her hand.
“Well, no matter what, let’s eat first.”Miss Succubus took the initiative to change the somewhat awkward topic, “I’m hungry. Your husband should be arriving soon. We can go to the restaurant and order food first. That way, we can eat when he arrives.”
Sigi looked at the clock in the room. The time was now 9:12 pm. Previously, she had contacted Cupid. The latter’s flight would arrive at 8:35 pm. Taking into account the time of the flight and the arrival from the airport.., indeed, Cupid should be arriving in about 10 to 20 minutes.
Therefore, the three of them left the room and went to the restaurant on the second floor. They didn’t ask for a private room. Instead, they found a small table in the corner of the hall. Then, Zhang Heng observed the diners in the hall while Miss Succubus picked up the menu, she ordered seven dishes in one go. However, other than the longer one, which required the chef to cook first, the rest of the dishes were served after the chef and the others arrived.
During this time, Sage checked the time several times, but she didn’t see Cupid appear until 9:30.
Under Zhang Heng’s suggestion, she had already thrown away her phone. She even informed her husband that he had also thrown away his phone. Therefore, in this situation, they couldn’t contact each other, so they could only wait anxiously. Another twenty minutes passed, the dish that took the longest time was served, but none of the three people at the table were in the mood to eat.
Saiji’s expression became more and more flustered. Another ten minutes passed, and after ruling out the possibility of traffic jams or other emergencies, Saiji finally couldn’t sit still anymore.
“I, I want to go to the airport to check if his flight has arrived.”
Even though she said that, her gaze was fixed on Zhang Heng. Obviously, Seji knew that she was too weak. Even if something happened to her husband, she probably wouldn’t be of much help.
“Okay.”Zhang Heng didn’t hesitate. He knew that Seji had helped him block a soul attack from the master of Underice City not long ago, so there was no reason for him not to go with her.
Then, Zhang Heng turned to Miss Succubus. Before he could ask, she sighed. “I’ll go with you.”
“Thank you,”Saji thanked him again.
Seeing this, Miss Succubus felt a little embarrassed. “Ah, no, I’m doing this for my own safety. It’s safer for me to stay with you guys than to stay by myself.”
Seeing that they had reached an agreement, the three of them didn’t waste any more time. After paying the bill, they left the untouched dish to the stunned waiter and hurried downstairs.
When they arrived at the hotel lobby, Zhang Heng noticed a meituan delivery man looking around the room. He was sizing up the people leaving the hotel, and his eyes lit up when he saw sage, however, he pretended not to care.
It wasn’t until the three of them reached the entrance that he pulled out his phone. Pretending to be taking orders, he swayed his body as he approached the three of them. However, the next moment, his left hand, which was reaching for Sage, was grabbed by the other hand.
Then, a voice came into his ears. “Who told you to come?”
Zhang Heng saw clearly that this Meituan delivery man wasn’t just borrowing clothes. He was really in the business. The color of his skin, his hair that was messed up by the helmet, and the smell of sweat all proved this.
Meituan bro was obviously shocked as well, but he also understood that his actions just now were indeed suggestive. He could only point at Sage and say, “Someone gave me 500 Yuan and asked me to bring something to this lady. His request was a bit strange, and he told me to avoid other people as much as possible.”
“Who is it?”
“I don’t know,”Meituan Bro said. “I just went to the designated place, took the thing, and came over. I didn’t see anyone.”
Seeing that little brother Meituan wasn’t lying, Zhang Heng knew that he couldn’t get anything out of him, so he let go of his hand and let him leave. Siji had already bent down to pick up the paper ball.
She unfolded the paper ball and took a look. Her expression changed. “It’s my husband’s handwriting. He wants me to go to the cafe where we had coffee last week.”
Zhang Heng also glanced at the paper ball. Probably to prevent the errand boy from Peeking, the sentence on the paper was written in Ancient Greek.
“Looks like Cupid is indeed in some trouble.”Miss Succubus’s expression tensed up. “Could this be a trap?”
Sage had already taken a step forward, but when she heard this, she looked at Zhang Heng with a pleading gaze.
The latter thought for a moment, “Let’s go take a look. We don’t have any other clues at the moment. The other side has already made a move against Saiji once, and it didn’t work. There’s no reason for them to make a comeback so soon. Besides, if something really happened to Cupid, those people wouldn’t need to deal with Saiji anymore.”
The three of them arrived at the location on the paper ball twenty minutes later.
The coffee shop was about to close, and there weren’t many people inside. After entering the shop, Sage didn’t delay and immediately walked to the table she had sat at last week.
There was indeed a figure there, wearing a suit and a pair of shiny leather shoes, lying on the table.
Sage walked quickly to the person, but she stopped and showed a hint of panic on her face.
The next moment, she heard a voice from the bar counter. “I’m here.”
The person who spoke was a waiter. He had been tidying up the coffee cans on the shelves with his back to Zhang Heng and the others when they entered the room. When he turned around, he realized that Zhang Heng was already sizing him up.
This was a very handsome man. He had the body of a model and the face of a celebrity. At the same time, he had a frivolous and lascivious air about him. He could be considered the killer of all young girls.
However, Zhang Heng’s gaze only lingered on him for about half a second before it moved down to his lower abdomen. There was an obvious pool of blood there that had already seeped into his work uniform, it was obvious that he had chosen to turn his back to the door to hide his face from the public and to cover the wound.
When Sage saw this scene, she let out a cry of surprise and turned from joy to sorrow. “What’s going on? Did you also encounter the attack of those humans?”
“Humans?”Cupid was stunned when he heard this. He immediately said, “What humans? The ones who attacked me were a group of New Gods. I even killed one of them.”
