Chapter 866 Sneaking in
Annan took a look at the two people's clothes and asked: "Are you working in the lobby?"
Chen Tingting, who was looking at Annan with a happy expression, was stunned for a moment, and her expression suddenly became unnatural:
"Uh, yeah, that...we're working."
Seeing her hesitant look, Annan understood - these two people must have sneaked in.
She and A-Yu often wandered around the lobby these days, but she had never seen them. He Yuan looked so special, it was impossible for her not to notice him.
Moreover, she had run into them by chance when she was strolling outside before.
Generally speaking, lobby staff will not leave the suite area during working hours. Even on their days off, they must be on standby at the staff dormitory in the suite area and can only leave when it is time to get off work.
However, Annan did not directly expose the two people's false identities.
After all, they were neighbors who got along pretty well with each other. They had even attended her and A-Yu's wedding. She always wanted to see what they were up to.
If he just sneaked in out of curiosity and didn't intend to do anything bad, she wouldn't meddle in his business.
These two people are different from Xiang Yang. Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, their personalities and moods may not be the same as before, but Chen Tingting's first reaction when she saw her was kind.
This kind of subconscious thing can't be faked. For example, Xiangyang, who pretends to be kind on the surface, always has a flash of resentment in his eyes.
Chen Tingting still remembered the life-saving grace she had received. She felt very close to Annan and couldn't help but bring up the past:
"Sister An, I never thought we would meet again! I have to thank you and Brother Gu for slaughtering the Canglang Gang and rescuing us from the brothel..."
Then, he murmured, "So that my father can rest in peace..."
She has become accustomed to death in the past few years, and can now talk about the old things that once haunted her nightly in a very calm manner.
Annan smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. You've already thanked me before, so you don't have to be polite again."
As she said this, she glanced at He Yuan who was standing next to her.
The two men's appearance had hardly changed since they left Mid-Levels, and they looked in good spirits.
It seems that life is pretty good now.
He was much calmer than Chen Tingting. When she saw that she was recognized, she stopped using her cap to cover her face, raised the brim of her cap, and greeted calmly:
"Ms. An, Mr. Gu, long time no see."
Annan and Gu Zhiyu nodded in response.
He Yuan looked at the two of them calmly, then glanced at the barber shop behind them: "Are you... here to get a haircut?"
Annan hummed, not missing the flash of surprise in his eyes.
This reaction was very similar to how she and Zhao Pingan reacted when they saw a barber shop for the first time - there actually was a barber shop in the apocalypse, and on a boat, so it was natural for people who saw it for the first time to hide their surprise.
Annan confirmed once again that He Yuan and Chen Tingting were indeed not from here.
So I looked at Chen Tingting and asked tentatively: "Which area do you work in?"
Chen Tingting said nothing and glanced at He Yuan nervously.
He Yuan glanced at the surrounding environment. He probably didn't quite understand the structure of the suite area yet. He responded casually, "We've only been here a few days and haven't confirmed our assignment yet. We're just helping out here and there."
"Oh." Annan did not expose them: "Then you can go and get busy. It won't delay your work."
He Yuan nodded and immediately left with Chen Tingting.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Annan and Gu Zhiyu, as if hesitating about something. After two seconds, he spoke:
"It seems that things have not been peaceful on the Ark these days. Please be careful."
Annan and Gu Zhiyu looked at each other. Is things not peaceful on the Ark?
Since the fall of Chief Feng, life has been getting better and better over the past six months. They have not noticed any unrest.
But looking at He Yuan's serious face, it didn't seem like he was joking.
Especially when the other party thought for a moment and added something even stranger: "If you really encounter danger, you can mention my name."
Annan immediately asked, "What do you mean? What's the danger? Why would it be useful to mention you?"
He Yuan immediately shut up. He shook his head and said, "Nothing, it's just that my skills are pretty good."
Chen Tingting, who was standing by, heard his incoherent answer and hurriedly explained:
"Ayuan means that he has dealt with a lot of bad guys who caused trouble on the Ark in the past year. Maybe... maybe it can have some frightening effect on the bad guys..."
Both of their explanations seemed a bit forced. Annan frowned slightly.
No matter how powerful He Yuan is, he is still outside. How can it be helpful to mention him when she is in danger in the suite area?
Could it be... that the danger comes from outside?
What exactly is the danger? What are these two people doing?
Annan wanted to ask for clarification, but He Yuan just shut up and stopped talking.
Chen Tingting wanted to say something else, but was pulled back by He Yuan, who shook his head slightly at her.
So he shut up and said nothing more. He just repeated "Be careful" and left in a hurry with He Yuan.
Annan watched them flee and didn't say anything more. It was useless for her to ask about things that people didn't want to talk about.
It’s better to find out on your own.
So not long after the person left, Annan gave Gu Zhiyu a wink, and the two of them followed quietly.
Afterwards, He Yuan and Chen Tingting walked around the lobby, visited every area, and then left the lobby and entered the residential area.
There are many forked roads in the residential area, which are interconnected and relatively winding. If you are not careful, you will easily lose your way and take the wrong road.
But if he followed too closely, he would be easily discovered. Annan could only fall far behind and was soon left behind by He Yuan.
As she was looking for someone, she couldn't help but sigh quietly: "This He Yuan has a really strong sense of reconnaissance."
I was almost discovered by him several times, and now he has lost me.
Gu Zhiyu pursed his lips and said, "He is a gold medal bodyguard after all."
The Chi family's chief bodyguard was well-known internationally in his time and had extraordinary abilities.
Otherwise, even with Chen Tingting, a timid and simple mother's girl, it would be difficult for her to survive to this day, not to mention sneaking into the heavily guarded suite area.
