Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 106 - 104 Guo Momo’s Anger

"I’m so pissed off, I’m never going to that supermarket again," Guo Momo said, still unable to calm her displeasure once she got home. She cared deeply about her dignity. Being taken to the security room by the supermarket’s guard felt like being treated as if she had done something wrong. When had Guo Momo ever suffered such humiliation?

"Yeah, yeah, Sister Momo, why don’t we just have the supermarket torn down? Or we could buy it first, then demolish it, or just directly have it closed for good. I just can’t stand the sight of that supermarket now, whining those bad people even suspected me of being a thief, I’m going to make a phone call," Zhao Yaya complained unhappily as well.

Guo Momo snatched the phone from Zhao Yaya’s hand. That girl actually intended to make the call and said, "Forget it, it was just a misunderstanding. We just won’t go there anymore, I’m so angry I’ve lost my appetite."

"But I’m hungry," Zhao Yaya immediately said.

Seeing that Guo Momo wasn’t in the mood to cook, Tangyu stood up and said, "You two sit down and relax for a bit, I’ll go and cook something for you."

Guo Momo looked at Tangyu and, without refusing, nodded her head.

This lunch was obviously very casual, with no mood at all. Both Guo Momo and Lin Feifei had little appetite. Zhao Yaya, on the other hand, ate heartily, as if she had already put all the unpleasantness behind her. This state of mind was actually quite good.

After the meal, Tangyu cleaned up the dishes and then joined the three women who were idly watching television in the living room. It seems more accurate to say Zhao Yaya was the one watching cartoons, while Guo Momo and Lin Feifei were slumped on the sofa, listless. Zhao Yaya bounced back quickly, but it seemed Guo Momo and Lin Feifei were quite stricken by the event.

Tangyu sat beside Guo Momo and said, "Momo, have you noticed a problem? Doesn’t it feel like everything that just happened was a bit too coincidental?"

At Tangyu’s words, Guo Momo was startled. She had been thinking about this issue, feeling something was off but also wondering if she was overthinking it. With her mood already soured, she hadn’t really been in the right state of mind to ponder it further. But now, prompted by Tangyu’s serious expression, she responded, "Did you notice something?"

Lin Feifei and Zhao Yaya also looked over.

Tangyu nodded and began analyzing, "You went to the supermarket to shop, paid for the items, and nothing seemed wrong with any of that. Yaya, while you were in the supermarket, did anyone bump into you or something?"

Zhao Yaya blinked and thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly widened, "Ah, I remember now, while I was in line, a man bumped into me. And then, just as we left, the alarm went off. Big Brother Tang, could it have been that person who put something in my pocket?"

"That’s right, it’s exactly as I suspected, it must have been that person who put something in your pocket. Then you were brought to the security room by the guard, and that’s when Du Xiaowen, who’s called Zhou Tao, appeared. Doesn’t this all seem a little too coincidental?" Tangyu said.

Guo Momo fell silent for a moment and then said, "It does seem rather coincidental, I’ve also felt something was off, but couldn’t quite figure it out."

Tangyu pursed his lips and continued, "Let me say a few things, first: if it’s an item worth tens of thousands, I’d think it would be kept in a secure place, right? Not to mention being watched or at least enclosed, and equipped with alarms, cameras, and such, no? How could such an item be so easily stolen? And during broad daylight at that, when there’s such a heavy flow of people in the supermarket?"

"If it were really stolen, it would have to be the work of a master thief. But if we’re talking about a master thief, then comes the second issue: if they had the ability to steal the item, why wouldn’t they have the ability to take it out of the store? If they lack even that competence, then they can’t be considered a master thief, and that contradicts the first point. Even a fool would know the expensive goods in a supermarket would certainly have sensors on them and be scanned. If the item was truly stolen, but the thief didn’t know this much, then they’re a fool. In reality, anyone skilled at stealing would be smart. So all these points cannot be explained. The only explanation is that someone deliberately orchestrated this."

"Ah yes, yes, it must have been deliberate. Big Brother Tang, you’re absolutely right, I’d also thought of that, just didn’t say it," Zhao Yaya nodded in agreement.

Guo Momo’s expression grew colder, finding the argument very persuasive and perfectly logical.

Tangyu went on, "If I’m not mistaken, after the alarm went off, security came to stop you and brought you directly into the security room, right? If this wasn’t done deliberately, the security should have approached you with subtlety and politeness, asking if you might have forgotten to pay for something, rather than just taking you into the security room without a word, right?"

"Yes, yes, you’re right, Big Brother Tang, you’re incredible. How did you know exactly what happened? Those security guards didn’t say a word and just dragged us into the security room. They must be bad guys too, part of the same group, setting us up," Zhao Yaya added.

Guo Momo said with a cold face, "All of this sounds very reasonable, but I have one question, we have no grudges against them, why would they use such means to deal with us?"

Tangyu shook his head and gave a faint smile, "Humph, I can only say you’re too kind-hearted. When one is involved, they’re confused; only bystanders see clearly."

"Tangyu, are you suggesting that the people behind this are Zhou Tao and Du Ziwen? And because Zhou Tao has feelings for Momo, he wanted to use these methods as an attempt to win over Momo’s affection and take the opportunity to get close to her?" Lin Feifei, who had been silent, suddenly said.

"Zhou Tao? He is, after all, the young master of the mighty Donglin’s Zhou Family, would he resort to such despicable and lowly tactics?" Guo Momo furrowed her brows, still somewhat disbelieving.

"What’s so impossible about that? Should every rich young master have excellent character and morals? It seems that playboys are more likely to come from wealthy families, right? Some despicable methods might work better. If you think about it seriously, it’s clear this was a well-designed trap. Like you said, you definitely don’t have any grudge with that supermarket’s security guards."

"Besides, even if there was a grudge, would those security guards dare to make a move like that in the supermarket? And speaking of which, to be a security guard there, one should have some discernment, right? They can’t possibly fail to see that you all have extraordinary backgrounds—it would take getting their heads squeezed by a door to dare to lay hands on you. So, it’s quite apparent that someone’s pulling the strings behind the scenes, and that person should be Du Xiaowen. Du Xiaowen is Zhou Tao’s lackey, and he probably has no personal grudges with you, right? He has no reason to harm you, so the real mastermind must be Zhou Tao," Tangyu said.

Zhao Yaya immediately nodded with agreement, "That’s right, that’s right, it must be Zhou Tao scheming behind Momo’s back. I’ve always found him uncomfortable to be around, always so crafty. Hasn’t he always tried to pursue you? After being rejected by you several times, Momo, he must have decided to resort to tricks."

Lin Feifei nodded her head; although she didn’t speak, she too seemed to agree with Tangyu’s words.

Guo Momo’s face grew cold, and she was actually willing to believe what Tangyu said. Now she was nearly convinced, and suddenly asked, "Are these things you’re talking about just your speculations, or what?"

Tangyu said, "You could say it’s speculation, and it’s a very reasonable assumption at that. I don’t have solid evidence, but I happened to overhear the two of them talking at the supermarket entrance. Du Xiaowen said to Zhou Tao, ’Tao ge, the job is done. I thought they would come out in the morning, but didn’t expect to wait until now; I almost thought there would be no show today.’ This is what I heard with my own ears. I’m not acquainted with them, nor do I have any beef with them, so I have no reason to speak ill of them."

With a snort, Guo Momo raised her eyes and clenched her fists, "So it seems that Zhou Tao really is playing tricks behind our backs, utterly despicable and shameless, to think so lowly. I feel blind to have ever thought he could pass for a decent young master.

Tangyu, I don’t mean anything else, of course I trust what you’re saying. It’s just that this situation is so sudden, and I have always been classmates with Zhou Tao, it’s just hard to believe he would do such a thing. But now I am certain that this can’t be unrelated to him. Tangyu, I really appreciate it, otherwise, I might have been deceived by him, indeed blinded by being so directly involved. Even though deep down I always felt something was off, I couldn’t figure it out."

"I didn’t want to see you get deceived," Tangyu said.

"Yeah, that Zhou Tao is so hateful, beat him, flatten him, disdain him, curse him. But, big brother good guy, since you already knew, why didn’t you say anything earlier? Wouldn’t it have been more satisfying to expose his vile acts on the spot? I love delivering a slap to the face," Zhao Yaya said indignantly, waving her little fist.

Looking at Guo Momo, Tangyu said, "I don’t have solid proof, and if I had spoken out, they would most certainly deny it, which would’ve led to an uglier situation. Besides, making a scene there would have been too embarrassing, and I also wasn’t sure of your stance, Momo. Plus, at that time, you all were still involved; without solid evidence, my persuasiveness might have been insufficient. It could have backfired. So I decided to wait until we got home, once everyone had calmed down, then talk about it—this way, the effect is much better."

"No, no, I’ve been very clear-headed the whole time, really; I had thought in that direction, too—I just haven’t said anything," Zhao Yaya said.

A few flickers of complexity passed in Guo Momo’s eyes as she looked at Tangyu. She had indeed calmed down completely now and thinking over it, she felt Tangyu’s reasoning made a lot of sense. Without tangible evidence, making a commotion then surely wouldn’t have led to good results.

Some things are difficult to articulate clearly in those circumstances. Guo Momo couldn’t help but admire Tangyu for his composure and steadiness. Having insight into the whole situation well ahead of time, he still managed to hold back, making the most careful arrangements, considering even the minutest of details to ensure nothing went wrong. Such maturity was impressive indeed.

Lin Feifei gazed at Tangyu, stunned. Looking at the man who had brought her a slight shock, a strange sensation rose in her heart.

It was like a flicker of romantic feeling from a young girl—
