Chapter 374 [(*^▽^*)]

Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Leyou's words and vomiting, the woman immediately exploded, pointing her finger at his nose and cursing, "I think you swallowed it! What kind of thing is that! How can you talk like that? We're just letting us go in and look for it, what are you so guilty about?"

Lin Leyou sneered, "Why should I be guilty? There are all my things inside. Why should I let you in to look for them? What if you take my things and say they're yours? Am I supposed to give them to you?"

The waiter tried to break up the fight but didn't know what to say. He was sweating profusely with anxiety. Lin Leyou could tell at a glance that he must be a new employee. Who would bring a guest who claims to have lost something to a room that has already been occupied by other guests to look for something?

"What did you say? You're saying we can afford a room like this, and we still need to steal your things? Who do you think you are? A millionaire?"

Lin Leyou said, "No matter what, unless you produce evidence that the items were left in this guest room and that the cleaning staff didn't take them, I absolutely will not let you in!"

After saying that, Lin Leyou was about to close the door when he heard a familiar voice.

What happened here?

He was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, but then he turned around and saw a very familiar person. Good heavens! Xue Rui?!

How did he get here? Wasn't he supposed to be in H City receiving instruction from his grandfather? How did he end up here? And in this hotel?

Ah! Could this hotel be one of the Xue family's properties? Wait, that's possible!

Before the people outside could react, Lin Leyou rushed in and slammed the door shut! Whew... thank goodness he was quick!

Wait a minute... when he checked in, the name he used seemed to be... Lin Leyou!

Xue Rui probably wouldn't check his own check-in information, right?

He looked through the peephole and saw that the person outside was indeed Xue Rui. Therefore, this hotel was indeed one of the many properties owned by the Xue family.

He came to the hotel this time not for any other reason, but just to pass by and take a look around. He had other important things to do.

I never expected to encounter something like this.

The waiter paused for a moment when he saw him, but when he saw the manager standing behind Xue Rui, he instantly felt numb. "Manager...?"

The manager suddenly felt an urge to sigh and rub his forehead. "What happened?"

The waiter briefly explained the situation, and Xue Rui took out his phone to check the time. "Manager Wang, please handle this matter quickly. I'll wait for you upstairs."

Manager Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. "Okay, okay, Young Master Xue, please go up first. I'll be there soon."

Xue Rui didn't handle the matter himself because he simply didn't know how! He had never dealt with such a thing before, and intervening rashly might only make things worse. It was best to leave it to Manager Wang.

After he left, Manager Wang began to deal with the matter. It turned out that the man and woman had lost their things three days earlier, and there had been another guest in the room before Lin Leyou checked in during those three days!

Moreover, what they lost was no small item; it was a custom-made cup, not a particularly small object, studded with diamonds, worth tens of thousands of yuan—a truly expensive item.

Upon checking the surveillance footage, they discovered that they had nothing in their hands the day they brought the cup back to the hotel. They were completely dumbfounded.

Didn't they bring the cup back? Where did they put it?

At this point, the matter was no longer related to the hotel, and they couldn't stay and cause trouble any longer, since this hotel was not one they could afford to offend. They could only slink away.

After dealing with this matter, Manager Wang quickly found Xue Rui to continue their business.

Lin Leyou waited anxiously in his room for a long time until the hotel called to apologize for the incident and offered to waive the room fee.

Lin Leyou did not refuse. After hanging up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xue Rui really did not care about this matter. That's great!

He patted his chest, confirming his good luck.

Wait a minute! You can't really call this luck, right? If I were really lucky, I wouldn't have run into Xue Rui. I should have stayed in H City and not wandered around.

He had originally planned to go out and have some fun, but now he doesn't even dare to leave the house. If he goes out... he doesn't know if he will run into Xue Rui again.

If I encounter this outside, will I have anywhere to hide?

But since he was already there, it seemed like a waste not to go out for a walk. It was a really hard decision. He thought about it again and again, and finally decided to go out at night so that no one would notice.

Will Xue Rui go out at night?

Lin Leyou really didn't expect that he would have to use mechanical spiders while traveling. He took out five mechanical spiders from his backpack and sent them all out.

"Why……"

Instead of sending the mechanical spiders to find Xue Rui to avoid being discovered, he scattered them throughout the hotel, especially along the routes he would need to take to get out.

Lin Leyou didn't see Xue Rui appear until night fell, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he couldn't stay in the hotel room forever, so he decided to take advantage of the night to go out for a good meal and then go for a walk on the beach.

It seems he's never seen the sea in his past life or this one. The sea might not be very beautiful at night, but going out for a walk and feeling the sea breeze might be a kind of enjoyment.

He got dressed, put on a mask and hat, grabbed his phone and wallet, and with everything ready, he was off!

As he walked to the door and placed his hand on the doorknob, the mechanical spiders he had placed outside saw some people dressed even more conservatively than themselves appearing in a secluded part of the hotel.

They were dressed all in black, wearing black masks, hats, and even black sunglasses!

Lin Leyou's first thought was of the gangsters he had seen chasing Xue Rui in the farmland outside the city while trying to complete his mission.

The mechanical spider shifted its position slightly, changing its angle, and it actually saw that they were carrying some controlled items... wait... guns!

Lin Leyou's heart skipped a beat, and then she cursed in her heart, "You, Xue Zhengyang, you were well-behaved and didn't cause any trouble in H City, but now that Xue Rui has left H City, you think your chance has come, huh?"

However, it's too late to say all this now. These people definitely know that Xue Rui is here, and it's unclear whether they plan to lie in wait downstairs or go directly upstairs.

The mechanical spider approached to listen to their conversation, and Lin Leyou wanted to know their plan.

Is this task really absolutely necessary?

"There's no other way. We've already taken the money. The previous group's failure was their fault. If we take the money and then stop doing tasks because of our own mistakes, we'll lose credibility, and no one will come to us for tasks anymore."

"That makes sense, but we've suffered huge losses."

"Hehe..." the man chuckled sinisterly, "Don't worry about us suffering huge losses. We can ask the employer for the compensation. If they refuse..."

"If you don't give it to me?"

"Speaking of which, we don't seem to know their identities either. Should we go to their door? Wouldn't that make it even less likely that we'll get any clients?"

After all, finding out a customer's identity, visiting them in person, or revealing one's identity are all major taboos!

"How could that be? Of course I wouldn't know who they are, but this time... it's different!"

"If that's how you put it, then I understand. This time they really didn't reveal their identities, and we had no evidence, hahaha... But anyone who isn't an idiot could guess it!"

“They are definitely afraid that we will come after them, so they will definitely agree to any demands for compensation. It’s just that the police are watching closely now, so they can’t pay up. They can only wait until later.”

"So... what should we do now? Go find that kid or wait here?"

"Waiting here is pointless. Let's go up and find them. Kill them and get out of here. Let's take down the surveillance cameras first."

"Okay!"

After hearing their conversation, Lin Leyou didn't know what to say. Xue Zhengyang and the others thought they had concealed their identities very well, but could something that everyone knew about really be ignored without evidence?

But none of that matters. What he cares about most right now is whether Xue Rui knows about these people. He doesn't dare to show himself freely now, and the mechanical spider's actions are also restricted.

Or should we go and check out where Xue Rui lives?

Lin Leyou decided to keep an eye on this group of people for now. They said they were going to set up surveillance cameras and went to the surveillance room, but they felt it was too conspicuous halfway there.

First, they went to turn off the hotel's main power switch, but when they arrived, they discovered that there were bodyguards patrolling the area, or rather, bodyguards patrolling the entire hotel.

Since the failed assassination attempt, Old Master Xue has arranged many bodyguards for Xue Rui, a fact known to everyone, including those in the underworld.

They remained hidden in the shadows, refraining from making any rash moves.

"It seems that it was the right decision not to go up directly earlier. There are already so many bodyguards down there, not to mention that kid's place, where there are probably even more people."

"So what do we do now?"

"What else can we do? We can only pretend to be his bodyguard and go to him."

"Isn't that riskier?"

"Then we'll lie in wait down there, wait for him to come out, and then take a sneak shot."

"That's a good idea. We'll each find a spot, wait for him to come out, and then each of us will fire two shots. I don't believe we can't kill him!"

"That's the only way then. Let's leave here first, lest we get discovered and all our efforts go to waste."

"So many brothers were arrested before. Fortunately, we always kept our identities hidden when we were together, otherwise they might have betrayed us."

"Let's go, let's go, stop talking nonsense!"
