Chapter 287: Surveillance
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Universal Studios Singapore is located inside Resorts World Sentosa, which has seven theme parks and twenty-four attractions. For anyone visiting Singapore, Universal Studios is definitely a top choice.
After Meng Fan met everyone, the group walked into Sci-Fi City, which was the area closest to them.
None of the six people was new to Universal Studios, so they didn’t rush to do a certain ride. Instead, they walked and talked, enjoying the atmosphere. They were relaxed as they ate, drank, chatted, and saw the sights.
Meng Fan was very observant, and he was paying attention, so he noticed some interesting things.
His main subject of observation was Showta Takashimaya. It seemed that the man could only be described as straightforward. He was very humble to everyone and willing to help. No matter who needed to buy or see something, he’d help do the errand or get in-line for them. He was also very attentive to Shino Shibuya. In Meng Fan’s limited experience, Japanese men who were so caring toward women were rare.
Meanwhile, Shino Shibuya, Showta Takashimaya’s fiancée, was… slutty. Meng Fan had to say she was quite unfaithful. During their outing, she kept coming onto Meng Fan. Though Minako Sakurai, who had a crush on Meng Fan, was right there, and her own fiancé was right there too, Shino Shibuya still kept flirting with Meng Fan.
What surprised Meng Fan was how Showta Takashimaya didn’t seem to mind. If anything, he looked at Meng Fan apologetically. Instead, the other Japanese man on the trip, Hideo Ohno, not only seemed arrogant; he also acted antagonistic toward Meng Fan.
Meng Fan noticed that Hideo Ohno’s girlfriend, a white girl named Elisa, checked him out at first, then only paid attention to Hideo Ohno. Among everyone in the group, Elisa was the most excited and lively. It was obvious that they were a new couple, and Elisa really liked Hideo Ohno.
Hideo Ohno shouldn’t be angry toward him for that, right?
Was he angry because of Minako Sakurai?
It didn’t seem like it.
Meng Fan could tell that while Hideo Ohno did seem to desire Minako Sakurai, it wasn’t a possessive desire, nor did it match the level of animosity projected toward him. The animosity held a level of anger, wariness, and rejection from being invaded.
He was angry because of Shino Shibuya!
Meng Fan soon realized the reason for Hideo Ohno’s animosity.
Then, he realized Shino Shibuya also looked at Hideo Ohno differently. In her gaze, there was provocation, temptation, and also a thrill.
Were they having an affair?
This finding was interesting and quite valuable.
“Transformers accessories!”
Showta Takashimaya wasn’t interested in much, however, he loved Transformers. When he got to the Transformers area, he became visibly excited and walked into the attraction.
Hideo Ohno didn’t look like he was interested. “I’ll wait for you guys by the coffee house over there. I’m tired from walking.”
Shino Shibuya smiled. “I’m tired, too.”
Meng Fan and Minako Sakurai had already followed Showta Takashimaya into the Transformers area. Elisa considered and told Hideo Ohno, “I want to go see the Transformers, too.”
Hideo Ohno nodded. “Okay. Go, I’ll get you something to drink.”
“You’re awesome.”
Elisa walked in happily.
Meanwhile, Hideo Ohno and Shino Shibuya walked as if in sync. They didn’t get away from the group for too far before Hideo’s hand was on Shino’s waist and sliding downwards. Shino laughed coyly as she slapped his hand, but when his hand went back to her waist and slid even lower, she let him touch her, moving her body even more.
The attraction had all of the latest Transformers and collectibles, it was like a heaven for fans of Transformers.
Meng Fan was a fan of assembly kits. In American comics, the hottest assembly kit collectibles are Iron Man and Transformers. After Meng Fan looked around, he saw many products which were different from what he had at home, so he was tempted.
“Do you like Transformers, too?”
Soon, Showta Takashimaya noticed what Meng Fan was buying and asked with curiosity.
His Chinese wasn’t fluent, so he used a lot of Japanese and English words instead. Luckily, Meng Fan knew the two other languages a little bit and they were able to communicate.
With this brief and somewhat inconvenient exchange, Showta Takashimaya realized Meng Fan was a fan of Transformers, so he appeared to be much more excited to talk to Meng Fan.
“Mr. Takashimaya, pardon my rudeness.” Meng Fan acted as if he had just realized something as he pointed at the man’s watch. “Is this a limited edition Weizhentian mechanical watch from 5102? Weizhentian is Megatron. In Japanese, it is…”
Showta Takashimaya looked very happy to be recognized. He nodded proudly. “This took me a lot of work to get.”
“Wow, I was so sad when I didn’t get this watch. There were so few available!” Meng Fan actually had the watch, he just never wore the collectible. With a face full of envy, he asked, “Can I see it?”
Showta Takashimaya happily took off the watch to show Meng Fan, who carefully looked it over before reluctantly giving it back. He said, “You’re so lucky. If I didn’t know you loved it so much, I’d have wanted to buy it from you at twice the price.”
Showta Takashimaya shook his head. “You have no idea. This watch is already four times the price now. Even if you paid me ten times the original price, I wouldn’t sell it to you.”
Meng Fan smiled, shaking his head and showing regret.
After their tour, Showta Takashimaya bought some collectibles. So did Meng Fan. The products would be packaged by store employees and sent back home for them.
When they came out of the store, Showta Takashimaya and Elisa wanted to look for the other people. Minako Sakurai wanted to see the Minions in another attraction and use the chance to get closer to Meng Fan. Meng Fan had no objections.
After they walked a bit, Meng Fan used the virtual projector screen to open the black technology microphone he added to Showta Takashimaya’s watch. After he linked it to his black technology earbuds, he could clearly hear conversations on Showta Takashimaya’s side. He then happily went with Minako Sakurai to look for Minions.
The reason he chose the watch was because a watch is worn on the body. The object was obviously his favorite, so he would wear it all the time. It was perfect for carrying a surveillance device, since even a cell phone wasn’t always carried on the body.
He did want to observe Showta Takashimaya, but rushing would not be useful here. Looking too eager would be bad for his purpose. As long as he could eavesdrop constantly, he has reached his goal.
“He’s not here?!”
When Elisa didn’t find Hideo Ohno at the coffee shop, she was very unhappy. She pursed her lips.
A flicker of hatred flashed across Showta Takashimaya’s eyes. His face remained passive. When he saw their calls went nowhere, he told Elisa, “Maybe it’s a signal problem. Don’t worry, wait here and I’ll get you some coffee.”
After he ordered coffee, he returned to talk to Elisa. “How about this? I’ll go look for them. I’ll be back in ten minutes no matter what.”
Elisa was grateful. “Thank you.”
Showta Takashimaya finally had time to move alone. He sped up and walked toward an attraction called “Ancient Egypt.” Soon, he found what he was looking for and walked into a “shrine.”
He saw a string of numbers which only he understood. His chest started heaving.
“This is the time?”
Showta Takashimaya learned it was going to be the flight on the evening of the 13th. He was the mechanic for this flight. He also knew Hideo Ohno was supposed to be the assistant pilot on this flight, with Shino Shibuya as a flight attendant.
“Perfect! Now I can send this damn couple to hell!”
