Chapter 473 Checking the Room
Xia Yan motioned for him to continue.
The bodyguard cleared his throat and locked eyes with her. "Someone on board has committed a crime. The leader requires us to check each room in order. Everyone must return to their rooms and wait, including you."
Xia Yan uttered an "oh" and asked curiously, "What crime has been committed that warrants such a large-scale mobilization?"
He was silent for a moment, then said hastily, "An exhibit."
At this time, the bodyguard behind raised his voice and urged: "Boss Xia, please move aside. We need to go inside to check if there is anyone lurking inside without your knowledge."
Xia Yan took a step forward, and the bodyguards immediately took a step back, their faces full of caution, as if they were worried that she would suddenly attack.
Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked left and right as if nothing had happened.
There were two or three bodyguards sparsely standing in front of almost every open door, and the homeowners were lined up at the railings, and everyone's eyes were on her.
Xia Yan: ...
Is she special?
"Let's check it out." She imitated those people and stood leaning against the railing.
The bodyguards seemed to have not expected her to be so easy to talk to. After a second's pause, they all walked into the room, even though the furnishings inside were extremely familiar - not because every room was familiar, but because this was their second time there.
Xia Yan watched coldly as they lifted the quilt, rolled up the mattress, and dismantled the wooden boards on the bed, checking every empty space inside.
"You can go back now. There's nothing unusual in the room."
The sound came from the right. The bodyguard wearing a large-brimmed hat took out a label from his pocket and stuck it on the door of room numbered -018.
Then they walked towards this side without looking at anyone, then stood in front of the door next to Xia Yan and knocked on it.
"Routine check."
After saying this, the bodyguard couldn't help wiping his sweat.
Perhaps it was because Xia Yan's gaze was too much pressure that these four words came out of his mouth.
Snap——
The door opened a crack, and an eye appeared under the doorknob.
"What are you doing?"
It was the voice of a beautiful man.
Bodyguard: "Check the room."
"Oh, no thanks." The eyes disappeared and the door clicked shut.
The three bodyguards' backs were stiff, and they looked helpless at that moment. After communicating with their eyes, another person went up to knock on the door.
"I told you not to!"
"Let's check the room."
"Do you want to check on the ward? Honey, is this your new trick?"
"No, let me see."
The door opened a slightly larger gap, and a strange eye appeared above, followed by the handsome man's iconic eyes below.
"What do you want?" the person above said.
Bodyguard: "Check, no, check the room."
"See, I told you guys that you were in the same group. You left just as we were about to arrive, right?" The voice below sounded resentful.
bodyguard:...
Xia Yan: ...
What kind of lewd words...
"Bullshit, I don't know who they are. Do you think I'm a machine that can stop just by saying so?"
"Well, I don't care. They've already affected me. I won't come anymore."
The lower eye disappeared, and the upper eye looked at the bodyguard with anger, and the door was locked again.
"Damn, what's going on?" The bodyguard couldn't help but curse.
After a while, the door of the room was completely opened. It was the handsome man's husband who opened it. He looked very ugly, full of dissatisfaction after being disturbed.
"Come in, what has Jing Wenbin been doing all day? He's confused."
He glanced around casually, paused when he saw Xia Yan, then turned back and said to the beautiful man, "Come out, everyone is outside."
The handsome man leaned against the back of the bed, his hair scattered on his shoulders, making his face look only the size of a palm. He looked at the cloudy sky outside the window with a melancholy expression and uttered two words.
"No."
The man was confused. "What's wrong with you? You can get angry eight hundred times a day. I'm wrong, okay?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"I had it all wrong."
“Insincere.”
"...I'm sorry. I was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
“…”
Xia Yan felt overwhelmed after hearing this, but fortunately the bodyguard who was checking in her room came out to help her out -
"The room is safe, but we still want to know," the bodyguard took off his glasses and stuffed them into his jacket pocket. "Have you been in the room all day?"
——Although she didn't like this way of resolving the situation.
"What do you mean?" Xia Yan said in a bad tone.
"That's what it means. A witness said he saw you at the entrance of the exhibition hall today."
The bodyguard spoke tentatively, staring at her closely, trying to detect any unusual changes in her facial expression.
Xia Yan sneered and took a step forward. "Who is that witness you're talking about? It's best to call him out and confront him face to face."
She said that people would believe her just because they saw her? Is she that easy to fool?
The bodyguard frowned and looked back, "Go and bring the person over."
The bodyguard behind him:?
"Oh, okay."
The bodyguard looked at Xia Yan again: "It would save more time if you had a witness to prove that you were in the room the whole time."
He looked convinced, as if he had finally remembered that he had a cigarette. He took it out of his pocket, put it between his teeth and bit it lightly, then asked the person behind him for a match. With a click, a small flame ignited.
He leaned forward and took a deep breath, then squinted his eyes with an expression of enjoyment, and slowly exhaled two pipes of smoke from his nose. The bodyguards standing behind him quietly took a deep sniff, not wanting to waste it.
When the wind blew, the smoke floated everywhere, and Xia Yan also smelled it. In addition to the pungent smell, there was also a faint sweet smell.
She seemed to have smelled...
"Who said she didn't have any witnesses? I am one!"
The beautiful man's voice suddenly rushed out of the room. He jumped out of bed, stuffed his feet into his shoes casually, and ran out the door with a clatter.
"You said..." The smoking bodyguard's expression was stiff. "You are?"
"Yeah! I was talking to her at noon, and everyone who passed by saw it. If you don't believe me, just ask anyone."
Xia Yan's thoughts were interrupted, and when he came to his senses, he was already standing about 1.5 meters away from him.
Seeing her looking at him, the handsome man looked disgusted and said, "Don't think too much. I'm just saying something for you. I don't want to be friends with you. It's better for us to keep a certain distance between us."
"...OK."
The bodyguard choked, the cigarette in his hand no longer fragrant, "Do you know each other?"
"Who knows her (him)?!" they both asked in unison.
"Are you sure you want to testify? Don't lie. I can find anyone to check it out." The bodyguard threatened, "You are a witness, but I have many witnesses too. With a simple check, I can tell whether it's true or not!"
The more Xia Yan listened, the darker his face became, and his uncontrollable anger kept rising.
"I'm telling you, I'm still alive, and you're doing this in front of me? Intimidation and bribery, aren't you? Didn't Jing Wenbin tell you to be careful with your words and actions when you speak in front of me?"
She cracked her knuckles, her face grim.
How dare you?
Jing Wenbin still had to wash dishes for her, but they became very arrogant.
Seeing this, the bodyguard put his hands in front of his chest in a self-defense posture, "What do you want to do? Don't force me to fight you."
"I'll send you to a swimming competition with zombies!"
