Chapter 059: Guard Against Fire, Thieves, and Best Friends
That evening.
Shanghai Dream Yao Motorcycle Theme Bar Club.
This is a motorcycle-themed bar that men cannot refuse, bringing together the most free-spirited people and serving as a gathering place for a group of "motorcycle veterans" and racing fans in Shanghai!
Rock.
Style.
Beer.
Motorcycles.
The robust industrial-style decoration, combined with modern elements, gives the motorcycle-themed bar a strong sense of toughness that is immediately apparent.
Inside the glass curtain wall on the exterior of the bar's entrance, dozens of classic vintage motorcycles are displayed on three levels—upper, middle, and lower—with a collection value exceeding 10 million chinese yuan.
The Dream Yao Motorcycle Theme Bar Club's architecture, utilizing raw industrial steel plates and glass curtain walls, exudes a very strong industrial vibe, and the combination of motorcycles and fine wine is truly magnificent.

When passersby on the street looked through the bar's glass curtain wall and saw rows of cool motorcycles, they couldn't help but turn their heads, stop, and take photos, making it one of Shanghai's popular internet-famous check-in spots in the new millennium.
Enjoying the passion brought by motorcycles while drinking and chatting is a unique romance for men.
Of course, there are also an unusually large number of young women who come to consume at the Dream Yao Motorcycle Theme Bar, as many girls also love motorcycles.
The celebration banquet for Zhou Mengyao's championship win was naturally held at the motorcycle-themed bar under her name.
A joyous atmosphere.
A lively ambiance.
After everyone toasted together to congratulate Zhou Mengyao on her championship win.
Important members of the Mengyao Racing Team successively raised their glasses to toast Lin Lang, one after another, and even though their boss, Zhou Mengyao, kept trying to block drinks for Lin Lang, he still got somewhat tipsy.
"Come on, Lang Ge, I toast you!"
"Lang Ge, I toast you with this one!"
"And me, Lang Ge, I'll toast you too..."
A slightly tipsy Lin Lang said melancholically, "You're celebrating your BOSS's championship, but you keep force-feeding me drinks. What's the meaning of this?"
Hei Zai, the team engineer, replied, holding his glass, "Lang Ge, today's race was thanks to you. You notified our BOSS in advance to change to rain tires for the race on a clear day. You are a great contributor to our team!"
"I appreciate your gratitude, but if you keep toasting me, I'm going to black out soon."
After three rounds of drinks, Lin Lang's face was flushed.

Old Ma, the team coach, said with a smile, "A Lang, actually, they kept plying you with drinks because they want to know how you predicted that the weather would suddenly change and it would rain heavily after the race started?"
"You've kept it a secret, refusing to talk about how you knew it would suddenly rain during the race. How could they not ply you with drinks?"
Zhou Mengyao took a sip of weishi ji (whisky) and also asked curiously, "Yeah! I also want to know why you're more accurate than the weather forecast?"
Lin Lang naturally couldn't answer that he had received a prompt from the Omnipotent Entry System.
So, Lin Lang could only pretend to be foolish and replied, "I had a dream that it would rain heavily during the race, and it just so happened to rain heavily, changing the outcome of the race. Don't you think that's a coincidence?"
"Tsk~ Do you believe what Lang Ge said?"
"I don't believe it, anyway." Xiao Na, Zhou Mengyao's assistant, clearly didn't believe him.
Technician Xiao Lei shook his head and said, "I don't believe it either, Lang Ge, stop playing coy and tell us the truth quickly!"
Zhou Mengyao poured Lin Lang a drink herself, while sweetly smiling and saying, "Hurry up and tell us, Lin Lang. Everyone wants to know so much, just tell us!"
Lin Lang replied mysteriously, "Alright!"
"I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean."
"Lin Lang is not talented, but he has a slight understanding of divination and metaphysics, and he can make calculations."
"I just did a quick calculation and figured out that the weather would suddenly change during the race, and there would be a torrential downpour, changing the results of the Women's Asia Motorcycle Championship. Do you believe me now?"
Zhou Mengyao covered her mouth and laughed after hearing this, "Old classmate, if you say it like that, won't the team members believe you even less?"
Lin Lang shrugged and said, "What I said is the truth, and there's nothing I can do if they don't believe me!"
Technician Xiao Lei said, "Lang Ge, since you can make calculations, why don't you calculate something for me? I want to see if what you say is true."
Lin Lang took a small sip of weishi ji (whisky) and answered without thinking, "You sprained your ankle before you were eight, and you fell when you learned to ride a bicycle."
"Tsk~ Who hasn't sprained an ankle when they were young?"
"Who hasn't fallen when learning to ride a bicycle?" Technician Xiao Lei didn't believe him at all.
Lin Lang falsely claimed, "Heaven's secrets must not be revealed. Revealing them easily will lead to backlash."
Technician Xiao Lei, however, said, "Since revealing heaven's secrets leads to backlash, then why did Lang Ge tell our BOSS to change to rain tires before the race?"
Lin Lang replied half-jokingly, "Revealing heaven's secrets for your BOSS and suffering backlash is worth it. Revealing them for you is not worth it, understand?"
"Uh..." Technician Xiao Lei scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh.
"In that case, Old classmate, I really should thank you properly!" Zhou Mengyao smiled sweetly and clinked glasses with Lin Lang.
Lin Lang clinked glasses with Zhou Mengyao and took a sip of weishi ji (whisky).

Xiao Na, Zhou Mengyao's assistant, said, "Lang Ge, then why don't you make a calculation and tell us some small things that don't count as revealing heaven's secrets, to convince everyone?"
Lin Lang heard this and, according to the system prompt, replied, "Hei Zai has a crush on you."
"Uh..." Team engineer Hei Zai gave an awkward laugh.
Xiao Na, Zhou Mengyao's assistant, actually replied, "Hei Zai liking me is already a semi-open secret within the team, but unfortunately, I have a boyfriend whom I love very much, so I can only say sorry to Hei Zai!"
Hei Zai said nothing after hearing this, drinking a silent glass of wine by himself, with a look of unrequited love on his face.
Lin Lang put his arm around Hei Zai's shoulder and asked, "Brother, do you really like Xiao Na?"
Hei Zai nodded with a melancholic expression.
Lin Lang continued to ask, "Do you need an assist?"
Hei Zai's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he tentatively asked, "Lang Ge, do you mean you can help me win Xiao Na over?"
Lin Lang replied mysteriously, "Whether you can win Xiao Na over is up to your own ability, but I can help you with an assist to make Xiao Na single again."
Hei Zai hurriedly stood up to pour Lin Lang a drink, saying respectfully, "My lifelong happiness all depends on your help, Lang Ge. Please drink!"
"You're a sensible kid." Lin Lang took the glass and took a mysterious sip of weishi ji (whisky).
Zhou Mengyao saw this and said, "Xiao Na and her boyfriend have already met each other's parents and are about to get officially engaged. Lin Lang, do you really have the ability to break up such a loving couple?"
Xiao Na proudly wiggled her left hand, showing off the diamond ring on her ring finger.
Lin Lang replied, "Normally, it's better to tear down a temple than to ruin a marriage, but I can't bear to see Xiao Na being deceived and still looking blissful, oblivious to it all."
"Then I want to see, Lang Ge, how your slight understanding of divination and metaphysics can calculate how my boyfriend is deceiving me?!"
Lin Lang sneered, "First of all!"
"Xiao Na, the one-carat engagement ring you're wearing is a fake diamond ring."
Everyone at the celebration banquet was stunned upon hearing this, and they all turned their gaze to Xiao Na, Zhou Mengyao's assistant.
Xiao Na's face instantly changed color upon hearing this, and she exclaimed in shock, "No way?!"
"The diamond ring my boyfriend gave me is from the big brand Tiffany, how could it be fake?"
Lin Lang replied, "The ring setting should have been custom-made by your boyfriend at Tiffany jewelry, so it has the Tiffany logo, but the diamond itself is a moissanite substitute."
"Most people can't tell the difference between moissanite and diamonds, because moissanite is extremely similar to natural diamonds, and its physical properties are also very close to natural diamonds."
"So, Xiao Na, the engagement ring your boyfriend gave you is indeed fake."
The team members were all shocked upon hearing this, and they all turned their gaze to Xiao Na, who had been showing off her engagement ring but was now completely humiliated.
Xiao Na was embarrassed after hearing this, her face alternating between red and white, but she stubbornly said, "Impossible, my boyfriend loves me so much, he wouldn't possibly give me a fake diamond ring."
Zhou Mengyao said with slightly furrowed brows, "Xiao Na, you know my father is a Master of Appraisal, and Lin Lang is my father's last disciple. He is a professional authority in appraisal, so you have no choice but to believe him!"
Xiao Na bit her lip after hearing this, her eyes starting to redden as she looked at the fake engagement ring on her finger, trembling with anger.
Team engineer Hei Zai saw this and secretly rejoiced, "Lang Ge is indeed a divine assist, amazing!"
Old Ma, the team coach, played the peacemaker, laughing awkwardly, "Is there a possibility that Xiao Na's boyfriend bought a fake engagement ring at full price and wasn't intentionally deceiving Xiao Na?!"
Xiao Na wiped away her tears after hearing this, deluding herself, "That's right!"
"Maybe my boyfriend bought a fake diamond ring at full price and was tricked by the seller, you never know!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Lang replied definitively, "Absolutely impossible!"
"Why impossible?" Xiao Na looked at Lin Lang with tearful eyes.
Lin Lang replied mysteriously, "Because I did a quick calculation, and your boyfriend has been cheating on you with your best friend for a year and a half. If your best friend didn't have a husband, your boyfriend would have dumped you long ago and married your best friend."
The team members were all shocked upon hearing this, looking at Lin Lang with incredulous eyes, then at Xiao Na. The drinking table instantly fell silent, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
"Uh..." Xiao Na was stunned, speechless.
Zhou Mengyao hurriedly said, "Lin Lang, you can't joke about something like this!"
Lin Lang drained the wine in his glass and replied according to the Omnipotent Entry System prompt, "I did a quick calculation, and Xiao Na's boyfriend is currently with Xiao Na's best friend, checking into a room at the Ru Jia Hotel two blocks away. I don't need to spell out what they're doing, do I?"
"The room number is 2403. Go, Xiao Na!"
"Go to the Ru Jia Hotel to catch them within half an hour, and you'll catch them red-handed!"
"Uh..." Zhou Mengyao was stunned speechless.
"Uh..." Xiao Na was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this, her eyes filled with disbelief, as if she had turned to stone.
"Uh..." Team technician Xiao Lei had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Uh..." Team coach Old Ma had a look of shock on his face.
Amidst his shock, Hei Zai secretly rejoiced and tentatively asked, "Xiao Na, why don't I go with you to the Ru Jia Hotel to check? Just in case Lang Ge is telling the truth, it's better for you to see your boyfriend's true colors sooner."
Xiao Na, holding back tears, gulped down the wine in her glass, stood up, and replied, "If my boyfriend is really messing around with my best friend, I will never forgive them in this life. Let's go!"
Xiao Na grabbed her bag and phone, left angrily, and stormed off to the Ru Jia Hotel to catch them.
Hei Zai picked up his phone from the table and quickly chased after her.
Zhou Mengyao instructed, "Xiao Lei, you go with them too. If they really catch them in the act, protect Xiao Na and don't let things get out of hand!"
"Yes, BOSS."
Team technician Xiao Lei also went to the Ru Jia Hotel.
