Gu Keke rolled down the car window and stared at the back of the girl in the car diagonally in front of her.
She said defiantly, "No matter what you say, Miss Coco will not agree."
Lu Yi was certain that she wasn't on the phone with anyone.
After carefully examining her attire, he hesitated and said, "Excuse me, could you please back up a little?"
"What did you say?"
Hearing Lu Yi's clear yet gentle voice, Gu Keke finally snapped out of her reverie and said blankly, "Oh, okay!"
Lu Yi said "thank you" and was about to leave when Gu Keke, in a moment of panic, reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
"Could you please pick up my makeup mirror for me...?"
Lu Yi's gaze slowly moved from her pink fingertips to her doll-like, delicate face, and then he suddenly realized.
She answered that way because she was angry about this.
"Okay, wait for me a moment."
Lu Yi opened the passenger door, bent down to pick up the vanity mirror, and handed it over. "I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous just now. Thank you!"
Without waiting for Gu Keke's reply, he quickly closed the car door and got back into Fan Huijun's car.
Gu Keke reversed halfway, and just as the rear of that car was about to kiss the front of her car, she drove off with a roar.
It felt as if a hole had been torn open in her heart in an instant!
...
Officer Ma and his team checked the surveillance footage of Fanghai Hotel, but they did not find Fan Tong.
How many entrances and exits does your hotel have?
The lobby manager explained, "Not counting the elevator leading to the basement parking lot, there are three entrances and exits on the ground floor, but there are no security cameras installed at the back door."
Officer Ma asked suspiciously, "Why not install it?"
The lobby manager immediately replied, "We used to have security cameras installed, but because the back door is near a residential area, the residents collectively complained that we were secretly filming their privacy... By the way, we even called the police!"
"Later, the community intervened and mediated, and the result was that we removed the camera."
Officer Ma never expected that this case would become so closely tied to the surveillance footage.
How long has the demolition been going on?
"About six months, or longer."
Well, it seems we can't expect to find any clues from the hotel. It's more reliable to start with the security cameras on the street!
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation! Also, if you see this person, please call the police immediately!"
Officer Ma placed Fan Tong's photo on the table and left with his men.
When Gu Huaibei arrived at the hotel, Officer Ma had just left. Looking at the facial features in the photo, he felt that they looked somewhat familiar.
But after comparing with everyone I knew, none of them matched, so I had to give up.
The lobby manager hesitated and said, "Mr. Gu, should we print out the photos and put them in each guest room? Maybe one of the guests has seen them before?"
Gu Huaibei was almost so angry at his idea that he lost his temper.
"You mean, tell the guests that there are suspects lurking around our hotel?"
The lobby manager didn't understand what he meant, rolled his eyes a few times, and nodded.
"Then why don't you just put up an announcement in the lobby 24 hours a day: 'Suspect has appeared in this hotel, please be aware!'"
The lobby manager clapped his hands. "Great idea! Mr. Gu is brilliant!"
Gu Huaibei's shoulders relaxed, and he laughed in exasperation.
"You're really talented. How did you manage to get the job as the lobby manager of this hotel?"
“My uncle is the purchasing manager here. He recommended me. Mr. Gu, I’ll go right away…”
"Go where are you going!"
Gu Huaibei was completely speechless, but considering that the person in charge of purchasing at the hotel was arranged by the Lin family, he couldn't just do whatever he wanted.
After a moment of contemplation, he raised his hand and pointed.
"Hey you... with no security cameras at the back gate, this is a potential safety hazard. Why don't you go work there as a security guard?"
Lin Dazhuang scratched his head. "Just sit there and do nothing?"
Gu Huaibei nodded, "Yes, take a notebook and record the approximate number of people coming in and out each day, and mark them with tally marks, okay? The salary will remain the same."
Lin Dazhuang clenched his fists, his cheeks flushed with excitement.
"Mr. Gu, you've thought of everything. Don't worry, as long as that guy dares to come again, I'll catch him, tie him up, and let you vent your anger!"
Gu Huaibei pressed the photo against his chest. "Alright, this is between you and me. Don't tell anyone else."
Lin Dazhuang chuckled and said, "I understand, I understand. I'm President Gu's spy planted at the back door, and you're my superior..."
Seeing his lewd grin, Gu Huaibei shook his head helplessly and left.
...
Lu Han stared at the barrage of phone numbers on her phone, her eyes practically spitting fire.
After finally waiting for Aunt Wu to come downstairs with the trash, Lu Han closed the door and pressed the answer button.
"What exactly do you want?!"
Fan Tong chuckled awkwardly, "Son, 200,000 isn't enough. Could you give me another 100,000?"
Lu Han felt his blood rush to his head, and his voice was almost a shout from his throat.
"Take it or leave! The police are looking for you everywhere. If you don't want to die, get out of Jiangzhou right now, immediately!"
He didn't sleep a wink last night.
In the morning, I made up an excuse, saying that I had left something at the Fanghai Hotel. When I rushed there, I just saw the police going in.
Only after making inquiries did I learn that my adoptive father was practically wanted by the police.
He fled home in a panic, skipping breakfast and hiding in his room.
After thinking about it all morning, I realized that the current situation was very likely orchestrated by Lu Yi.
He made a big fuss about calling the police, claiming that the investigation into the supposedly nourishing soup was just a pretext, and that his real purpose was to help the police track down the person who sabotaged the surveillance cameras.
Then, expose his relationship with Fan Tong to the public!
