147: Chapter 147 Never Go Down the Path of Crime

Inside the bedroom, two Girls with stunning looks but completely different figures were busy.

One of them, a Girl with a hot figure, was bent over, dragging a storage box out from under the bed.

The other Girl, with an elegant build, stood by the bed, holding a stack of photos and smiling as she said something to the guy who had entered first.

He couldn't understand how these two beauties, whom you'd only expect to see on TV, could be in this guy's room?

And judging by the current situation, their relationship with him was clearly not ordinary.

Ai Shanshan and An Yaxuan naturally noticed the Landlord who had entered. Seeing him standing there dumbfounded and staring blankly, they both frowned in unison.

Although she knew who he was, Ai Shanshan still looked at Li Luo and asked in a questioning tone.

"Honey, who is this? Aren't you going to introduce us?"

Hearing this, Li Luo deliberately replied to her in a very casual tone.

"The Landlord. He's here to inspect the apartment."

Hearing her call him 'honey', the Landlord finally snapped out of it. He was utterly shocked. A guy who drives a ride-hailing car actually managed to land such a top-tier babe?

While mentally complaining, he couldn't help but think to himself.

He, a respectable Landlord—though he couldn't compare to those online who casually owned entire buildings for rent—still had five apartments under his management for leasing.

Yet even with that, he had never dated, or even seen much of, such top-tier beauties. And now, this guy not only had one, but there was another one right beside him.

At this moment, An Yaxuan, having finished looking at the photos, spoke softly as she put them into the storage box.

"Honey, isn't your Landlord here to inspect the apartment? If he's not inspecting now, what's he doing just standing there dumbly?"

Hearing this, Li Luo said with a mocking laugh.

"He's probably been inspecting the wallpaper all this time, checking if I've drawn any graffiti!"

Hearing their man's tone, the Two Women couldn't help but exchange a glance. It was obvious their man and the Landlord weren't on good terms.

The Landlord, ignoring Li Luo for now, pointed at An Yaxuan with a look of shock and said.

"You... what did you just call him?"

Seeing him like this, An Yaxuan was instantly speechless. Since he had issues with her man, there was no need for her to be polite.

"What I call my man is none of your business. Mind your own."

The Landlord seemed not to hear, muttering to himself.

"You call him 'honey' too? Do you two even know what kind of behavior this is? It's simply moral decay!"

"Listen to me now, it's not too late to turn back. Don't go down the path of crime!"

After hearing this, Li Luo was also completely baffled. Sure, you could say it's a bit immoral, but what does that have to do with going down the path of crime?

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Ai Shanshan couldn't stand it anymore and let out a cold snort.

"Are you sick? Just inspect your damn apartment. Instead of preaching here, you'd be better off going to that foot massage parlor you frequent and finding a woman to enjoy yourself with."

"How do you know I often go to... no, no, that's not right."

The Landlord spoke and immediately caught himself.

"I've never been to such places."

Seeing this situation, Li Luo glanced at Ai Shanshan with some surprise. He didn't expect this Girl to know so much. It seemed he'd have to ask her properly later.

After thinking this, he spoke somewhat impatiently to the Landlord.

"Stop dawdling. If you're going to inspect, hurry up."

Hearing this, the Landlord wasn't angry anymore. If he couldn't see something was up by now, all his years of navigating society would have been for nothing.

Judging by the current situation, this guy definitely had something going for him. Otherwise, beauties of this caliber—forget two, even one would mean your ancestors were smiling down on you.

Of course, this only meant he'd give this guy some face, at most he wouldn't try to extort him. But the standard procedures still couldn't be skipped.

Afterwards, he began carefully inspecting the entire apartment again. His final conclusion was:

A bit dirty, wear and tear within acceptable limits.

Actually, no matter how he inspected, it was irrelevant to Li Luo. After all, he knew the condition of this apartment best.

When he rented this place, it was also because of Shen Lin, but the number of times she came could be counted on one hand, let alone someone like Li Luo who left early and returned late, never home during the day.

So, apart from being a bit dirty, what wear and tear could there possibly be? If you can't accept it to this degree, you might as well keep this apartment for yourself to live in!

Seeing no major issues, the Landlord spoke bluntly without thinking.

"We'll follow the contract. You paid a two-thousand deposit initially. Since you're terminating the lease early now, one month's rent will be deducted from the deposit."

"As for the apartment's cleanliness, you can clean it yourself, or give me a few hundred, and I'll arrange for a cleaner later."

Hearing this, Li Luo was also taken aback. The rent for this place was only a thousand a month. Did he really pay a two-thousand deposit back then?

He turned around, took the rental contract from the cabinet, and looking at the black-and-white clause stating a deposit of two thousand, he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

He hadn't even planned on asking for it back, and now, there was actually some to be refunded.

After reading it, Li Luo casually tossed the contract onto the bed and said calmly to the Landlord.

"In that case, refund me eight hundred. Keep two hundred for the cleaning."

The Landlord listened, not quite processing it yet.

"You're too polite. Cleaning doesn't cost eight hundred! Then you can transfer it to my WeChat!"

Seeing him like this, Li Luo suddenly remembered a classic quote from the internet.

I've never seen someone so shameless.

Before Li Luo could speak, An Yaxuan stepped in first.

"What my husband means is, *you* refund *us* eight hundred. What are you thinking?"

The Landlord's face immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

"I refund you eight hundred? Are you kidding me?"

"Are *you* kidding? Didn't you say it's written in the contract? From what my husband just said, the rent is a thousand a month, and he gave you a two-thousand deposit, right?" Ai Shanshan also chimed in at the right moment.

Under their successive attacks, the Landlord was getting a bit angry and said somewhat shamelessly.

"What if I just don't refund it? Are you really going to sue me over a few hundred bucks?"

"Suing over a few hundred bucks? My husband probably wouldn't, but I would! I can take my time grinding you down."

An Yaxuan said, waving her phone.

"For now, I can call the Market Supervision Bureau and inquire about the specific regulations on deposits and breach penalties."

"Or we can take a photo of the contract and post it online, let netizens judge who's right."

The Landlord's face instantly darkened. He had originally planned to rely on tenants being afraid of trouble to let it slide.

He never expected to run into two tough customers who also seemed to know a thing or two.

After all, if things really escalated, getting involved in a lawsuit or being exposed online over a few hundred bucks would be more trouble than it's worth for someone like him who relies on rent for a living.
