Chapter 176 Almost Exposed
These were undoubtedly the pursuers.
Lin Xi instinctively wanted to run.
On second thought, her actions were completely random, and it should be difficult for the pursuit team to determine her whereabouts.
Just like a homicide case, when the police investigate, they will start from the aspects of love killing, revenge killing, and financial killing. Those spur-of-the-moment murder cases without any clear motive are often difficult to solve.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi stabilized his position.
Moreover, she spent more than an hour carefully putting on makeup before coming out today. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Lin Fenfang stood in front of her now, she might not recognize her.
Owen, who was next to her, was extremely nervous and almost wanted to remind Lin Xi to run away quickly.
He didn't want to end this job so soon.
Lin Xi noticed his nervousness and approached him and whispered, "Relax, what are you afraid of? You're not a fugitive."
"The more nervous you are, the more they'll notice you."
The few people came in and dispersed, checking the passengers waiting for the bus. At this time, a man waiting for the bus suddenly stood up and ran out frantically. These people quickly chased him from all directions.
Before leaving the waiting room, one of the pursuers touched the man's shoulder and laughed, "Ike, your life on the run ends here."
Ike's face was filled with regret. He had almost dodged for twenty days. If he could hold on a little longer, he would have a chance to win the huge bonus.
Unfortunately, the plan failed.
Owen looked at this scene in surprise, then looked at Lin Xi who was sitting on the Diaoyutai as calm as a mountain, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.
It’s indeed Lin Xi, her mental quality is so strong.
I imagine how funny it would be when the audience sees this scene after the show airs and sees the pursuer failing to recognize Lin Xi even after passing by her.
When the pursuers saw this scene, their expressions must have been quite interesting.
The pursuers completed their mission, smiled, called the intelligence team to share the news, and then left.
An hour later, Lin Xi and Owen got on the train.
We arrived in York City in just a few hours.
This is not Lin Xi's first time in Yue City. Compared with twenty years ago, Yue City seems to have not changed much.
As an international metropolis, New York City is also the largest overseas Chinese community.
Lin Xi took a taxi and headed straight to Chinatown.
After finding a restaurant and having a meal, Lin Xi asked the proprietress, "Do you know of any cheap hotels around here that don't require ID?"
The proprietress understood that this was another person who was illegally residing in the country without any identity document. There were many such people in the past few years, but with the good development of the country in recent years, the number of illegal residents has gradually decreased.
The proprietress sighed. She came here with her parents when she was very young. If she had a choice, she would not come to Baiguo.
Two generations of my family run this small shop. Our life is just okay, and we feel very insecure.
And they are discriminated against by white people.
Maybe many people think that Baiguo is a paradise, but in the boss lady’s opinion, it is not the case at all.
Wherever you have money, life is heaven; wherever you don’t have money, life is hell.
If you don’t have the ability to live a good life in your own country, you can succeed and make a lot of money by coming to the White Country?
Are the white people stupid or are you stupid?
Overthinking it.
The proprietress looked down on Lin Xi and said calmly, "Go out, turn left, and walk about a hundred meters. There's a Xinglong Hotel."
She thought about how it must be for a young girl like Lin Xi, and added, "Tell him that it was my sister Tang who introduced you there, and ask him to give you a better price."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Tang."
Lin Xi walked while looking at the small shops on the street, and soon found the Xinglong Hotel.
The entrance is very small and you can't tell it's a hotel when you walk in.
The boss sat behind the counter. There was a shrine on the wall behind him, in which a statue of Guan Gong and a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva were placed side by side.
I don't know whether they are happy to be neighbors.
Lin Xi smiled at the boss and said in Chinese: "Hello, I want to get a room. Sister Tang introduced me here."
The boss looked at Owen behind Lin Xi and asked, "One room?"
Lin Xi nodded, "I want one."
The boss thought for a moment and said, "Fifteen yuan a day. If you subscribe to a monthly plan, it'll be two hundred and eighty yuan a month."
Lin Xi thought this was a fair price and readily took out a fifty-yuan note. "I'll stay for three days."
The boss took the money, gave Lin Xi five dollars in change, and then took her upstairs.
The stairs were very narrow. After going up to the second floor, the boss opened a door. Lin Xi looked inside and saw that the room was very small. There was almost no space except for a bed.
There is no bathroom and even no windows, making it inconvenient to enter and exit.
Lin Xi stood at the door without going in. She stopped the boss who was about to go downstairs and said, "Is there a room with a bathroom? Also, I like a room with a window."
The boss looked disdainful and said, "Yes, but not at this price."
"That kind of room is fifty dollars a night."
He has seen a lot of people like this. They just came out of China and, relying on the money they still have in their pockets, they become picky. After a while, they can't find a job and their money is almost gone. A room that costs fifteen dollars a night is a luxury for them.
Lin Xi nodded, "Then change it for me, and I'll pay you later."
The boss looked Lin Xi up and down, then lazily took them to the third floor and opened the door of a room. This room looked more like a normal room, with a bathroom and a window, and the room was also larger than before.
Lin Xi nodded, "Okay, this one will do."
Owen looked at the boss and said, "I need one too, preferably next to hers."
The boss said nothing and opened another room.
Lin Xi went downstairs, paid some extra money, went out and bought a set of bedding, and replaced all the things on the bed.
She can sleep on the dirt floor, but she doesn't like sleeping on obviously dirty sheets that someone else has slept on.
Lin Xi didn't plan to continue looking for a job. She still had 800 yuan in her hand, which was enough for her to get through the remaining ten days.
Lin Xi told Owen that she wanted to rest and was not going to have dinner, so she closed the door and went out the window in stealth.
She didn't intend to wait foolishly for information to be delivered to her. Since she knew the approximate area, she could only spend some effort to search the area with her spiritual sense.
Lin Xi didn't take a taxi and walked for more than an hour before reaching the area.
He released his spiritual consciousness and began searching inch by inch.
This area is very large. Lin Xi spent some time searching carefully but found nothing.
She had no choice but to return to the hotel.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard someone knocking on the door.
Lin Xi heard Owen's voice, "I told you, something might have happened to her, otherwise she wouldn't have knocked on the door for so long without opening it. Take the key and open the door."
Lin Xi quickly picked up her travel bag and went to the bathroom.
After a while the door opened.
