“Third Elder Brother, has that person come down yet? I stopped on the second floor for a quick inspection but found nothing.” Fifth Young Master Shen also stepped out of the elevator and noticed the other elevator that Chu Wuyou was on previously had already stopped on the first floor.
He noticed earlier that the elevator had descended to the first floor hence he did not linger on the second floor for long.
However, it was evident that the woman had not surfaced yet.
Chu Wuyou was blessed with luck. When she stopped on the second floor just now, someone else entered the elevator and went down to the first floor.
Ye Lanchen twitched his brows into a slight frown upon hearing Fifth Young Master Shen’s explanation but did not make any further comment. His eyes remained focused on Chu Wuyou.
Unlike Fifth Young Master Shen, Ye Lanchen did not know how Chu Wuyou looked before her disguise. All he saw was a photo of her back.
Apart from the arrogance and pride that he discerned from the photo, the other things that he could make out were the color of her hair and her outfit.
On the other hand, Chu Wuyou had completely transformed the color of her hair and her outfit. In addition, the style and the material of her double weave outfit were also different on both sides. The style that she wore previously had her belt in the waist that hugged her figure, but the one that she was wearing now was a totally casual look with two massive, loose pockets. Evidently, this was the crucial point that brought about her disguise; the tools and props utilized for this transformation were hidden in these loose pockets.
Upon arrival to the building earlier this morning, the buttons on her windbreaker were fastened and the belt too was utilized to create an illusion of a charming figure. Right now, her windbreaker was opened widely. There was also a smart design on the edge of the windbreaker that concealed the inner color of the outfit carefully.
The undershirt that she put on this morning was low-neck and its length was shorter than the windbreaker. It was not visible to the eyes when she wore it in the previous style which was why Fifth Young Master Shen did not raise his suspicions.
Chu Wuyou even changed into a new pair of shoes. She arrived at the building earlier wearing a ten centimeter tall high heels whereas now she changed into a pair of comfortable flats with a thin sole. That presented the illusion that she was way shorter than the woman in question.
In short, the woman that Fifth Young Master Shen encountered earlier today was the complete opposite of this woman standing in front of him at that moment.
Otherwise, it would not be that easy to fool Fifth Young Master Shen.
Of course, it was more suitable to pair her current style with high heels. However, she could not have hidden a pair of high heels in her pockets from the beginning because that would definitely give her away. Fortunately, her long and slender legs looked perfect with this casual outfit even when matched with a pair of flats.
Despite how meticulously Chu Wuyou had planned this out and no matter how calm and unperturbed she appeared right now, she could not help but be somewhat nervous under Ye Lanchen’s piercing gaze. Thankfully, her exceptional self-control managed to suppress any emotions she was feeling from revealing on her face.
Ye Lanchen doubted her unquestionably. This was because she came down to the first floor at this timing even if she appeared from another elevator.
However, there was one crucial point that Chu Wuyou knew could work in her favor. She knew that Ye Lanchen’s suspicions would decline massively if she appeared in the same elevator as Fifth Young Master Shen.
That explained why she had set Fifth Young Master Shen up into the trap.
She anticipated Fifth Young Master Shen’s curiosity and nosy attitude meant he would descend to the first floor to enjoy the good show.
Besides, the smile she presented Fifth Young Master Shen seconds before the elevator closed its door was also an essential point that foreshadowed the later events. She pressed down on the buttons to each floor not only because she needed time to disguise herself, but also to pique Fifth Young Master Shen’s interest.
Of course, her objective was more than descending the building along with Fifth Young Master Shen. She knew that Fifth Young Master Shen could “assist” her in her grand escape.
Chu Wuyou realized by now that the skepticism in Ye Lanchen’s mind was reduced drastically because of what Fifth Young Master Shen had said earlier.
In addition, she stepped out of the elevator before Fifth Young Master Shen, without revealing any hint of hesitation or uneasiness. She walked toward Ye Lanchen casually as if she had nothing to hide.
Although there was no visible change in the expression on the latter’s face, Chu Wuyou knew that her actions would lessen the doubts Ye Lanchen had for her.
Under this circumstance, Ye Lanchen would become more suspicious the more she tried to avoid him. On the other hand, her proactive attack would undoubtedly lower his guard.
She knew that she could not walk past the penetrating stare of Ye Lanchen nonchalantly, and he would not allow her the chance to do so either. Therefore, she had to take the initiative to behave accordingly to the outfit that she was wearing.
