Extreme Vigilance

78: Chapter 78: Love Guru 78: Chapter 78: Love Guru The room finally fell silent.

Everyone was looking at Shen Yue with an incredulous look to varying degrees.

Shen Yue didn’t stop, continuing, “Oh yes, I forgot to mention one thing.

Here today, Gao Jie sprayed herself with the same rare Rose Queen perfume.

It seems Gao Jie not only has a penchant for nostalgia, but also for this particular perfume.”

Everyone couldn’t help but take a whiff of the air.

They detected the scent of perfume, but pinpointing its origin was impossible for them.

“Do I need to go on?” Shen Yue asked somewhat provocatively.

Gao Jie had control of the situation, but wasn’t he doing the same?

Only by gaining control of the situation could he gain more information to clarify the case at hand.

“No need, no need.” Feng Haonan placated, “Advisor Shen is so knowledgeable, it’s enlightening … let’s get back to the main topic…” He said this, but inside he was feeling a bit uneasy.

He felt that if he allowed Shen Yue to continue, there might be big trouble.

“No, you need to continue.” Gao Jie said frostily, “I think the evidence is insufficient!

Just based on a license plate, a perfume, and a relationship, I am supposed to be in the surveillance room behind the mirror?

I think it’s far from enough.”

Shen Yue nodded, agreeing, “Indeed, it’s a little presumptuous to deduce that Ms.

Gao Jie is behind the mirror only based on these details.

But….” Shen Yue chuckled, revealing a beautiful set of white teeth, “The conclusive evidence that convinced me came from a detail on Officer Feng.”

Feng Haonan looked embarrassed, completely unaware of any such issue on his part.

Looking around the room, Shen Yue began to explain, “Most men here should know, or be subconsciously aware, that when a woman is attracted to a man, she will often casually brush her hair back in his presence.

This is because she hopes to show her most enticing side.”

Hai Mingzhu became flustered and dropped her hand right after hearing this, almost fainting.

Seeing a dismissive look from Li Yawei, and everyone else focused on Shen Yue, she sighed in relief.

“I’m a man.” Feng Haonan couldn’t help but interject.

“I can see that.” Shen Yue’s response triggered chuckles in the room, “Women have gestures to attract men, and men also have gestures to attract women.

It’s like the peacock spreading its feathers to attract mates, men would, either intentionally or unintentionally, exhibit their energy to win the favor of women.”

Looking at Feng Haonan, Shen Yue added, “The peacock that spreads its feathers is the male.”

Feng Haonan felt a sense of awkwardness.

“What does this have to do with me…” He suddenly realized something and looked embarrassingly at Shen Yue.

Shen Yue continued, “I once mentioned that you are a somewhat disheveled man.

I can well imagine that you probably didn’t sleep much last night and managed a nap at some point, during which your hair got messy.”

The others looked and sure enough, a part of Feng Haonan’s hair was sticking up.

Feng Haonan reflexively reached up to smooth his hair down, glancing at Gao Jie unintentionally.

Shen Yue’s lips twitched in a faint smile, “A dishevelled man tends not to care about other people’s opinions.

It could be inferred from this fact that Officer Feng is more focused on the case than how he looks.

But….”

Dragging out his words, Shen Yue continued, “If you pay a little more attention, you’ll notice that a part of your hair has been wetted, indicating that you felt that the sticking up hair was unsightly, so you intentionally dampened it, hoping to flatten it a bit.

I believe most men in this room have done this before?”

Both William and Du Feng reflexively nodded their heads.

Everyone in the room was working, sometimes too busy to spruce themselves up.

Damping their hair to keep it in check was common practice.

“You’re originally not the kind of man who cares about his image, but you suddenly became aware of it.

Clearly, there’s someone whom you deem worthy of maintaining your image for.”

Feng Haonan couldn’t help but raise his hand to flatten his hair, but managed to resist doing so.

Shen Yue’s gaze shifted towards Gao Jie and he revealed, “Since Officer Feng entered this room, according to my count, he has looked at that mirror six times, and absent-mindedly smoothed his hair four times.

Being so focused on this case, yet frequently being distracted by the mirror and grooming himself, the intelligent Ms.

Gao Jie should fully understand why he did this, right?

And also understand why I’m certain who’s behind the mirror?”

As Shen Yue finished speaking, Gao Jie fell silent, with nothing more to say.

“I’m still a little confused.

Can you explain it more clearly?” Jin Xin suddenly interjected.

“It’s all clear now, it’s all clear.” Feng Haonan’s face was red, not daring to look at Gao Jie, “Advisor Shen, there’s no need to explain further!”

Gao Jie huffed coldly, snarling, “See you in the conference room.” She then departed from the room.

It was only then that Feng Haonan, like a death row inmate who’d been pardoned, let out a sigh of relief and composed himself.

“Ms.

Gao Jie means that we should take our discussion into the conference room.

The resources here are insufficient and that place is more conducive for discussion.”

Shen Yue furrowed his brow, “It seems I can’t go.

The case of me stealing a car hasn’t been closed.

Do I need to elaborate more on your relationship with Ms.

Gao Jie last night, Officer Feng?”

“OK, OK.” Feng Haonan was wishing he could stitch Shen Yue’s mouth shut.

“Advisor Shen, we’re all honest people here.

I liked you from the moment I met you, why would I report you and cause trouble?

If there’s no report, then there’s no stolen car, right?” he signaled to Du Feng and William to leave.

Jin Xin smiled and glanced at Li Yawei.

Li Yawei slowly got up, lowered her head, and left with Jin Xin.

It seems, aside from following everyone else, she had no other options.

Shen Yue was leisurely walking a few steps when he was stopped by Hai Mingzhu, “Advisor Shen.”

“What?” Shen Yue turned back, somewhat confused.

Hai Mingzhu’s face was also slightly flushed, “I have something to talk to you about.” she had to say it.

While Feng Haonan had halted the conversation, anyone with a keen eye knew what was going on by now.

Feng Haonan certainly had a thing for Gao Jie, or more accurately, Feng Haonan was attracted to Gao Jie.

That’s why he was so concerned about his appearance and looks.

As for whether Gao Jie reciprocates his feelings, that’s hard to say.

Based on Feng Haonan’s current behavior, it appears he has an unrequited crush on Gao Jie!

Shen Yue did not reveal this, but anyone who isn’t deaf basically knows what’s going on between Feng and Gao.

How could Jin Xin, a man as shrewd as they come, not know?

His feigned confusion was simply to embarrass Gao Jie!

As soon as Shen Yue revealed everything, Hai Mingzhu understood the whole picture.

Celebrities taking a year or more to be recognized by those around them had nothing on Shen Yue; he hardly knew Gao Jie and had merely a brief encounter with Feng Haonan.

And yet, based on merely perfume, ticket stubs, and hair habits, he not only discovered their secret but could also deduce their ambiguous relationship.

He was practically a master love guru.

Could he really understand male-female relationships this thoroughly?!

Upon pondering this, Hai Mingzhu felt she had something that she absolutely needed to say.
