Chapter 17 Tomorrow's Prenatal Checkup Fee
On a Friday night, the hotel was busier than usual.
Ruan Xingmian wore a black mask and followed Gu Xing, queuing up to register.
There were mostly young couples in groups of three or four around.
The hotel is directly opposite the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and is nearby the university town, where Ruan Xingmian's school is also located.
This was her first time entering a hotel with a member of the opposite sex.
Last time doesn’t count.
The last time she fell from the sky, she felt like she was floating and had no sense of reality.
After it was over, he fled.
Young couples around were whispering to each other, their bodies pressed against each other, inseparable.
But the two of them are like a couple going through the seven-year itch.
After getting the room card, they went their separate ways, one in front and one behind.
After swiping his card to enter the house and turning on the light, Ruan Xingmian took a quick look and breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, there are two beds.
Gu Xing stood at the door and motioned her to come in.
Ruan Xingmian let out a breath. Since she was already here, she might as well enjoy it. She already had the child with her, so what was she afraid of?
With a bang, Gu Xing closed the door.
The voice was not loud, Ruan Xingmian turned around suddenly and was startled.
In this closed and unfamiliar space, there is such an ambiguous place, and there are only her and Gu Xing.
"Take a shower?" Gu Xing suddenly asked.
Ruan Xingmian was delighted. The lines sounded like something from an adult film.
Looking at Gu Xing's serious look, it was because she had a very rich imagination. After all, she was a veteran novelist. Sometimes it was harder for her to find novels than movies, and she was often forced to watch movies.
Recovering her thoughts, she looked towards the bathroom and was stunned by the frosted glass.
I shook my head in my heart.
"No, I washed it at home."
"Then wash up and go to bed early."
"Um."
Ruan Xingmian had no objection, she was indeed sleepy.
Open the big bag and look for toiletries.
She went into the bathroom and Gu Xing turned off the lights in the room.
I opened my phone and didn’t know what software I clicked on.
I took pictures of the smoke alarm, TV, lamps, sockets, and decorations.
Ruan Xingmian was brushing her teeth when she leaned over and asked him, "What are you doing?"
“Try the detection camera software on your new phone.”
Only then did Ruan Xingmian realize that Gu Xing seemed to have changed his phone.
"Is it useful?" she asked, biting the toothbrush.
Gu Xing suddenly curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
He lifted his legs and squeezed into the narrow bathroom, half-hugging Ruan Xingmian from behind.
With a snap, the lights were turned off.
In the darkness, they were so close that Ruan Xingmian could clearly feel the vibration of his chest.
Gu Xing's breath, wrapped in warmth, touched her earlobe.
Ruan Xingmian's breathing became lighter and his whole body stiffened. This posture was a bit unfair.
The phone screen lit up with a faint blue light in the darkness. He swiped the screen with his fingers, his slightly cool fingertips brushing against her wrist, and his voice became low and hoarse: "Look here..."
On the phone screen, there was a small red dot behind the bathroom mirror.
"There are four little dots like this in this room."
"so much?!"
Shocked, Ruan Xingmian moved away unnoticed, leaving Gu Xing's embrace.
She rinsed her mouth quickly and flicked on the bathroom light.
"So what do we do next?"
She was indeed confused and never thought of checking the hotel cameras.
What if the hotel cheats?
Gu Xing opened his phone first and dialed three numbers.
Ruan Xingmian murmured, "Why not talk to the hotel first? Call the police straight away?"
"Well, it's illegal."
He was fully aware of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law: "Hotels installing pinhole cameras may be subject to detention for up to five days or a fine of up to 500 yuan."
Ruan Xingmian opened his mouth.
Where is that person?
What happens if an individual installs a pinhole camera?
She ran too fast at that time, and she did not remove the camera that Lu Tian asked the original owner to install on the bedside table of Monsoon Hotel.
Will it still be there?
When the call was connected, Gu Xing briefly explained the reason for calling the police and the address of the incident.
The ideas are clear, the information is accurate, and the logic is rigorous.
It also provides several methods to verify whether the camera belongs to the hotel or an individual.
Ruan Xingmian temporarily forgot the nervousness in his heart, and his eyes were fixed on the side of Gu Xing's face which was leaning against the phone.
It's so handsome that it touches my heart.
After hanging up the phone, he pursed his lips: "It may take a while."
Ruan Xingmian subconsciously shook his head and said it was okay.
If she were alone, she might choose to keep quiet.
If you don't fight the hotel, you are simply a coward.
But now with Gu Xing, a professional, standing in the way, he had to vent his anger no matter what.
"So do we need to check out of the hotel? Find another one."
"No need." Gu Xing walked out of the room first and turned on the TV.
"You lie down and rest first. When the police come, I will be in charge of the negotiations."
"good."
Ruan Xingmian lay down with her clothes on, and Gu Xing stuffed the remote control into her hand.
She fiddled with it for a while and then picked a TV show to play. With sound and pictures, the room seemed less empty.
Yes, empty.
Gu Xing sat on the chair and fiddled with his cell phone, not looking up for a long time.
Ruan Xingmian watched TV for a while and secretly glanced at Gu Xing.
I tried this several times but was never caught.
About half an hour later, the police arrived.
The whistle woke up everyone in the hotel.
Hotel crackdown on prostitution?
The lobby manager was so frightened that he woke up from his nap.
When the manager was told that someone had reported the hotel for installing cameras, his face changed and he cried out in injustice with a bitter face.
The police didn't give him time to act and pressed the elevator button to go upstairs.
There was a knock on the door. Gu Xing stood up and looked at Ruan Xingmian, signaling her to lie down and not move.
While the door was opening, doors of other rooms on the floor also opened a crack.
Seeing that no one cared and no one was killed, he bravely opened the door and leaned out to watch the fun.
Gu Xing once again demonstrated his academic genius's erudition and computer-related expertise.
Faced with the manager's lies.
He pointed out slowly that the camera lines were hidden in the walls and ceiling, and were consistent with the hotel's wiring layout, which undoubtedly indicated that they were installed during the hotel's renovation.
The hotel manager flatly denied it, so Gu Xing asked him to provide the room's decoration drawings and maintenance records.
The manager was defeated and argued that the hotel staff might have installed it privately and he would give an explanation tomorrow.
"Not tomorrow." Gu Xing handed the phone to the police officer. "I've already contacted an electronic equipment appraisal agency to conduct a technical appraisal of the camera. By analyzing the camera's brand, model, production date, and installation method, we can determine whether it matches the hotel's overall security system and whether it complies with common sense and standards for hotel installations."
The person who came over boldly pricked up his ears and said, "Damn! Is there a camera in our room too?"
The young man in the bright red shorts was a social elite. He stepped past the police officer and asked Gu Xing, "Brother, what detector are you using? Can you lend it to me?"
Gu Xingzhen handed over his new phone and said, "Just scan it with the black app."
The manager was sweating profusely: "No need to scan, we... accept the penalty!"
He hung his head, not daring to look up or speak loudly, for fear of attracting more guests asking for proof.
An hour later, Gu Xing returned from the nearby police station.
It's already past eleven o'clock.
Ruan Xingmian was drowsy in bed.
But I didn’t dare to really fall asleep.
Although all the cameras in the room had been removed, she always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her.
Lack of security.
besides.
She didn't know who had the hidden camera that the original owner had placed that night.
She had not fully accepted the original owner's memories. The sudden shock of traveling through time was too great, and she did not remember for a moment that there was a camera.
Lu Tian?
Hotel guest?
Hotel staff?
No matter who it was, it was a devastating blow to her.
She had to go back and confirm, maybe she hadn't been discovered yet.
There was a knock on the door and Ruan Xingmian was startled.
Gu Xing is back.
Holding a bag of fruit in his hand.
There are grapes and blueberries.
"It was sent from the room across the street."
Ruan Xingmian nodded and yawned.
The hotel promised to refund the room rate for that day and compensate them for mental damages of 10,000 yuan.
The tenant opposite also returned the rent and paid 5,000 yuan in compensation for mental damage.
Ruan Xingmian blinked, "So much compensation?"
Gu Xing uttered three words clearly: "Hush money."
oh.
Too.
Tell them to stop making trouble, otherwise the hotel will be negotiating compensation all night.
"This family is a repeat offender, right? Why did they secretly film the video?"
"Profits from pornographic websites are far greater than hotel revenues."
Gu Xing explained seriously and reached out for his bag.
Before he went to the police station, he stuffed his entire bag into Ruan Xingmian's hands.
Let her stay and he will be back soon.
He took out a towel from his bag and then pulled out a familiar black plastic bag.
Ruan Xingmian's brows jumped.
Catch it reflexively.
Familiar taste, familiar weight.
A familiar scene.
Look up.
Gu Xing took off his shirt in front of her...
Ruan Xingmian suddenly had difficulty breathing, and for a moment he didn't know whether to look at the pink cash or the cold white abdominal muscles.
Before entering the bathroom, he said, "Tomorrow's prenatal checkup fee."
