After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

Once the two had signed the contract and pressed their fingerprints, the cooperation was considered complete.

The female boss had a smile on her face the whole time, clearly happy that she had gained a sum of money and a far-sighted business tidbit that night.

"By the way, my surname is Ning. You can just call me Boss Ning from now on."

After the contract was signed, Mr. Ning introduced himself.

Lin Fan also told Boss Ning his name, and then looked at her and said, "Boss Ning, there's something else I need your help with. Of course, I won't let you help for nothing; I'll give you a commission."

Boss Ning looked at Lin Fan and said with a smile, "Boss Lin, if there's anything I can help with, just let me know. I'll definitely help if I can!"

"It's not a big deal, really. A special guest will be coming to your place tomorrow, and I need you to help me put on a show."

Lin Fan whispered something to Boss Ning.

After hearing this, Boss Ning couldn't help but laugh, and looked at Lin Fan with a strange expression: "Boss Lin, although it may be presumptuous, I still want to ask, what is your purpose in doing this?"

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "To achieve a very important goal!"

"In short, I'll be troubling you with things tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you down. As for the commission, forget about it. Such a small favor is nothing compared to the big gift you gave me."

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

"Take care, Mr. Lin!"

Stepping out of the mall, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.

The purpose of coming here tonight can be said to have been perfectly achieved. With the contract in place, there's no need to worry about the other party going back on their word or causing any trouble.

After a busy day, it was time to rest. Lin Fan returned to the hotel, washed up briefly, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

Lin Fan woke up from his sleep, ate breakfast first, and then went to a nearby post station to pick up the clothes that had been mailed to the provincial capital.

This was mailed to him before he left; it contained eleven fur coats and two pairs of newly made shoes.

After retrieving the items and returning to the hotel, an unexpected incident occurred.

My room had been disturbed. Although the money I had on me was still there, the rest of my belongings were missing from my backpack.

The backpack didn't contain much; besides some basic daily necessities, it contained a few custom-made clothes and high heels, as well as a watch.

Lin Fan didn't care about losing other things; he just considered it bad luck and had no intention of pursuing the matter. But that chart was very important to him.

It was noon, and it was an important prop for my scene.

It took Lin Fan a lot of effort to come up with this, and he no longer had time to compile a new list.

So Lin Fan immediately called the front desk and explained the situation to the receptionist.

"Hello, something was stolen from my backpack in my room, and I need your help!"

Even though this is a mid-to-low-end hotel, not a small inn or guesthouse, the security cameras are not ubiquitous. They are only in the lobby and at the entrance of the corridors, and they are very blurry. This is the norm in this era.

Therefore, losing something is obviously a very troublesome thing.

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, the receptionist instinctively frowned.

"Something is lost?"

"Sir, what did you lose? Did you lock the door when you left?"

Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "I only lost my personal belongings and a schedule that is very important to me."

"As for the door, I went out twice in total yesterday and today, and it was locked both times. Please check if it has been opened by someone or if there are any other problems."

"Also, I've already called the police, and they'll be here soon. Please seal off the hotel immediately and don't let anyone out. I need to find my things!"

Seeing Lin Fan's serious expression, the receptionist's face darkened.

"What? You've already called the police?"

“Calling the police will affect our business. How could you do this on your own?”

Lin Fan frowned and said calmly, "If I lose something, shouldn't I call the police?"

"What your hotel should be doing is helping me investigate immediately, not arguing with me here."

The receptionist froze, unsure how to retort, but her expression remained unpleasant.

"Hmph, I can't make that decision. I'll call our manager over later!"

"Please hurry!"

……

Lin Fan waited at the door of the room, but to his dismay, the so-called manager did not come after a long time. Not only that, but even after he called the police, they did not take any action for a long time.

Clearly, no one took Lin Fan seriously, given that it was just a routine case of lost items.

In fact, this kind of thing is very common in this day and age, and people's way of dealing with it is very simple: if you don't lose anything valuable, then just consider it bad luck.

From the conversation just now, the receptionist already knows that Lin Fan only lost some luggage, and their hotel obviously won't bother with such a thing.

As for the police, the fact that they haven't arrived yet speaks volumes. Even if they do come, they'll probably just take a quick statement, offer some words of comfort to Lin Fan, and try to smooth things over.

Lin Fan was used to this kind of thing, but he had to get the item back.

His plan couldn't be ruined just because of the loss of an item by accident, could it?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan went to the front desk again, where the receptionist was sitting in a leather chair, idly playing with her nails.

Noticing someone in front of her, she immediately put on a professional smile, but when she looked up and saw that it was Lin Fan, her expression immediately turned cold.

"why is it you again?"

"Didn't you say you'd have your manager come and help me with this? Why hasn't anyone come yet?"

The receptionist said with a displeased look, "How should I know? I've already told our manager, but he hasn't come. Maybe he's still busy. Didn't you already call the police? The police will handle it for you. Why are you bothering us?"

The receptionist was very unhappy about Lin Fan calling the police without permission.

Because if the police are called, it would look bad if the police car was parked there when they came to enforce the law, and it would also damage the reputation of their hotel.

Perhaps this is the selfish and wicked aspect of human nature: when faced with any situation, people always prioritize their own interests without considering whether they have fulfilled their responsibilities.
