This money wasn't actually meant to be spent; it was merely shown to the two people in front of him.

The hotel manager's eyelids twitched when he saw the banknotes on the table.

The fact that he can casually pull out a thousand yuan shows that this person certainly has the financial means.

"Sir, please don't be angry. Take the money, take the money. You just want to find your things, right? Don't worry, I'll definitely find them for you within half an hour!"

The manager quickly collected the money from the table, then smiled apologetically and stuffed it into Lin Fan's arms.

Lin Fan looked at him calmly and said, "You're wrong. Because of your stupidity, there are only twenty-five minutes left. If you can't see my things within twenty-five minutes, everything I just said will come true!"

The manager's expression froze, but he didn't dare to refute it. He quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, twenty-five minutes, twenty-five minutes."

"What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and make this gentleman some coffee. Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go find it right away!"

Lin Fan didn't reply, but sat down on a chair in the lobby.

The receptionist quickly jogged away to make coffee for Lin Fan.

As for the hotel manager, he hurried upstairs, and it was unclear what he was going to do.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Fan stood up and waved to the receptionist: "Tell your manager that there are only five minutes left."

"I'll check out in five minutes, get my deposit back, and then I'll leave here and head to the nearest printing plant."

"As for the police, if they come, you'll have to figure out how to explain things to them yourselves."

Just as Lin Fan was speaking, the somewhat obese manager came running down the stairs, panting.

"Found it, found it, sir, please don't be impulsive, your things have been found."

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, glanced at the manager, and said calmly, "Where are the things?"

The manager chuckled and said, "We've figured it out. The thief who stole your things is a habitual thief. Many of our customers have had their things stolen by him before."

"I'll take you to him right now and have him return your things to you."

Lin Fan didn't rush to answer, but coldly said, "A habitual thief? Where did he get the key? Or do you know how to pick locks, or is there some kind of collusion between you two?"

Meeting Lin Fan's meaningful gaze, the manager broke out in a cold sweat: "How could this be? How could this be?"

"Sir, we are victims too."

Lin Fan nodded and continued, "Alright, enough nonsense. I'm not interested in your affairs. Whether you're colluding or victims, it's none of my business. I just want to get my things back. Hurry up!"

"Yes, yes, sir, this way please!"

The manager led Lin Fan to a small alley near the hotel.

Finally, it stopped in front of a car repair shop.

There were no customers inside the shop at the time, and a few bicycles and motorcycles that had been dismantled were scattered outside the door, with black oil stains all over the ground.

The manager came to the door and yelled inside, "Ma Datou, you son of a bitch, get out here!"

A moment later, the shop door was pushed open and a thin, small young man with triangular eyes walked out.

This man was very thin, but his head was very large, making him look somewhat disproportionate. This is probably why he is called Ma Datou (Big Head Ma).

"Oh? Manager Li, what brings you here?"

When Ma Datou saw Manager Li, he quickly came over with a smile to greet him.

Manager Li glared at him and said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! Did you take something from the guest in room 205? Hand it over right now! If even a single wire is missing, I'll send you to the police station!"

Upon hearing Manager Li's unusual words, Ma Datou glanced at him and then at Lin Fan beside him, immediately understanding what was going on.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ahem, Manager Li, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan frowned, his expression turning cold.

When Manager Li saw that Lin Fan's expression was off, he slapped his thigh, took a step forward, and kicked Ma Datou in the butt: "Shut the fuck up."

"Where's the stuff? Not a single thing can be missing. I don't care where you put it, you'd better find it all back. You almost killed me, you know that?"

This was the first time Ma Datou had ever seen Manager Li so angry. They had been working together for quite some time, and it seemed that Manager Li had met a tough opponent this time.

He coughed, then winked at Manager Li and walked aside.

Seeing this, Manager Li smiled at Lin Fan and quickly followed.

"Ma Datou, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind?"

"This guy is unforgiving, you'd better take the things out and give them back to him right now."

Ma Datou said helplessly, "I wanted to return it, but there was nothing in that big package in room 205 except for a few tattered clothes and some waste paper. In a fit of anger, I threw it into the garbage dump outside. I don't know if it's still there now."

Manager Li was furious and kicked Ma Datou in the butt again: "Then what are you still standing here for? Hurry up and go find it!"

Ma Datou hesitated for a moment before saying, "Manager Li, this kid is just a greenhorn. Why should we be afraid of him?"

"Why don't you just tell him that your hotel staff disposed of his things as trash? If he wants to find them, let him go there himself. The garbage dump stinks so badly, I'm not going there!"

Manager Li was furious upon hearing Ma Datou's words.

"Are you out of your mind? If he were really so easy to bully, would I have brought him here?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get going."

Ma Datou also lost his temper, frowning and saying, "Manager Li, what you said is not right."

"You gave me all the information. When I went down there, your people told me that 205 was a pushover, so I took action. Plus, it looked like there might be money involved. Now that the stuff is back, I haven't gotten anything, and I have to find it back for him. Why should I?"

Manager Li took two deep breaths and said angrily, "Big Head Ma, what do you mean?"

Ma Datou glanced at Manager Li and said indifferently, "It doesn't mean anything. I just want to tell Manager Li that if our affair is exposed, I'll be in trouble and you'll be in trouble too. Why should the responsibility be pushed onto me? Anyway, I'm not going to go looking for it. If you want to go, go yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Li's face clearly showed his anger.

"Hehe, good, good, you big-headed Ma, I knew you bastards had no morals and were untrustworthy. I shouldn't have cooperated with you in the first place."
