Chapter 1307 The Returnee's Notes 381
The other party went to the side to make a phone call for a while, and only came over to take the two of them to the elevator after confirming that there were no problems.
You can't get on the elevator here without a special card.
Furthermore, different cards correspond to different floors; the card held by the receptionist only allows access to the ninth floor.
The group climbed all the way to the ninth floor, and before they even left, Xie Ning felt a chilly aura swirling in the corridor.
Their room number was a little in the middle. As Xie Ning passed by other rooms, she noticed that several rooms had something hanging on their doors: a silver Bagua mirror, which was somewhat different from the traditional design.
There were three dots of cinnabar on the doorknob, for the purpose of warding off evil spirits.
Looking further down, there was incense ash sprinkled in front of the door crack. For some ghosts, incense ash is no less threatening than raging fire.
"arrive."
There was nothing at the door of their room.
As soon as Xie Ning entered, he began to check the room, looking for things like cameras and whether there were any evil spirits hiding inside. Surprisingly, the room was very clean.
He Ruo sat down on the sofa to the side somewhat awkwardly. "He said he would be here in ten minutes."
"Yes, do you still remember what I taught you before?"
"Remember."
Xie Ning nodded, and then asked about the situation of the others.
Yang Hong said there was no ninth floor here at all. When she was choosing a room number, there were no rooms on the ninth floor available for them to choose from. She only found out after asking that the rooms on the ninth floor had been booked by someone long-term.
Yang Hong was no stranger to this kind of long-term hotel rental behavior, because Xie Ning stayed in hotels like this when she traveled far away, especially in some larger cities, where they would rent a suite for a long time.
It seems that the organization that has been booking the ninth floor for a long time is the one He Ruo mentioned.
Since they couldn't get into the ninth floor, Xie Ning had them book rooms on the eighth and tenth floors.
Not long after I finished doing all that, the smart assistant said someone had arrived.
Seeing that He Ruo was a little nervous, Xie Ning patted her shoulder and said, "Relax. Just think of it as these people wanting your life, and you're just getting revenge."
Even if those people have some tricks up their sleeves, I'm still here, aren't I? You should trust me.
Having witnessed Xie Ning's methods firsthand, He Ruo now had complete faith in her. With this reassurance, she gradually relaxed.
Even though she is introverted and shy, she is still capable and won't be stage-frightened if she is mentally prepared.
The newcomers were two men and one woman, all of whom initially appeared to have kind faces, but upon closer inspection, Xie Ning could tell that there was something wrong with their appearances.
The face reflects the heart; these people are definitely tainted by evil deeds.
The man in the lead glanced at Xie Ning before turning to He Ruo, the one he recognized. "Ms. He, you said on the phone earlier that the Guanyin statue was broken, is that right?"
"Um."
He Ruo handed over the wooden box containing the Guanyin statue. "I accidentally broke it during an experiment, and my husband also accidentally dropped the other one. After that, my husband came back and seemed a bit off; he's still in the hospital..."
However, the time we agreed upon is approaching, and my mother-in-law is urging me to come here for the surgery first. She will take care of my husband.
The group exchanged glances, and one of them went out to make a phone call. Of course, it was to conduct a background check, since He Ruo had been on the list long ago, so the simple investigation didn't take too long.
What they discovered was exactly what Xie Ning wanted them to know.
After inspecting the Guanyin statue, the man discovered that the ghost infant inside was gone, which made him feel uneasy. However, since He Ruo herself was here, it didn't matter too much.
Bringing them in to raise is the same.
Thinking of this, the man then asked Xie Ning, who was standing next to He Ruo, "And who is this?"
Xie Ning was dressed in rather unfashionable clothes and hid behind He Ruo somewhat timidly. He Ruo immediately said, "This is my distant cousin, Su Qingqing. She... sigh, she is also childless like me. I happened to be having surgery, so I brought her along."
Now that you're married, you'll need to have a child, won't you say?
"Yes, yes, is it convenient to conduct a survey for Ms. Su? We have some forms here that you need to fill out."
The man handed over the A4 paper he had prepared earlier, but He Ruo took it instead, saying, "I'll fill it out. My cousin isn't very good at writing."
The man nodded. "Then Ms. Su will have to leave her fingerprint."
The woman standing nearby, who had been watching Xie Ning, couldn't help but ask, "Why is Ms. Su wearing a mask the whole time?"
Xie Ning blinked. Because she was wearing black contact lenses, her eyes appeared larger than usual. "No, it doesn't look good..."
His voice was a little hoarse, sounding like he had a cold.
He Ruo added, "Qingqing is timid and has always been somewhat self-conscious because of her facial issues. Yesterday, she caught a cold from the wind, so I made her wear a mask to prevent her from infecting others."
"It's okay if your face doesn't look good. We also offer beauty services. If Ms. Su is interested, we can arrange one as a complimentary service. Ms. Su, may I take a look at your face first?"
The woman smiled and seemed very kind and approachable.
He Ruo frowned, looking somewhat unwilling, while Xie Ning nodded silently and slowly removed her mask. Her face was covered with white patches, which looked rather frightening.
Xie Ning simply pulled it down a little and put it back on.
When the woman's gaze fell on the white patches on Xie Ning's hand, she breathed a sigh of relief. Such a disease could indeed make one feel inferior.
Then she smiled and comforted him, "Our institution can also treat your condition, but the treatment course will be a bit long."
This is an implication that Xie Ning's timing is important, and that she needs to inform her family in advance to show that she is seeing a doctor and nothing else has happened.
"I'm willing! As long as it can cure my illness."
Xie Ning put her hand to her face, then lowered her head in self-consciousness.
He Ruo comforted her, "It's okay, your cousin has money. She'll definitely get you cured and then take a child back with you. Then no one in the village will look down on you anymore."
Upon hearing He Ruo's words, the two people opposite him exchanged mocking and disdainful glances, both thinking that He Ruo and her companion were foolish.
At this moment, the person who had made the call to investigate returned and said there was no problem.
He Ruo handed over the completed form with a natural expression, "It's all written, take a look."
The man nodded as he looked at the documents. His eyes lit up when he saw Xie Ning's birthday written by He Ruo. He thought he was lucky to have met He Ruo, but he didn't expect this silly woman to bring him such a treasure.
"No problem. Since Ms. Su was brought here by you, Ms. He, we will give both of them a 20% discount. We hope that you can introduce us to other customers like this in the future."
Our organization has been in this business for over a decade; we are absolutely authoritative and I'm confident you won't be disappointed.
An introduction? Let's talk about that after we get out of here alive.
Money doesn't matter; once they're in jail, they can just take whatever money they want.
