Chapter 55 Miscalculation
Xin Que turned to look at the monitoring console, and after checking it repeatedly, confirmed that Sang Xing had not yet had time to copy it.
"Is Luo Huayi's identity any good?" Xin Que shouted at Cheng Zheng, who was lying on the ground dizzy, dodging the bodyguards who rushed at her and kicking him in the lower back, knocking him to the ground. "Big brother, wake up! Give me a straight answer!!!"
Cheng Zheng wanted to strangle Xin Que.
Was he sleeping?!
Cheng Zheng struggled desperately to push away Sang Xing, who was trying to restrain him from behind. "I sent a message to the person in charge of the resort when I came here. Have the security guards contact the leaders!"
The security guard accidentally put his phone on speakerphone and quickly shifted the blame, "Hey, boss, you only said someone would come to ask for the surveillance footage, you didn't say there would be two groups of people coming!!"
"Both groups came with bodyguards, so who should we give the surveillance footage to?"
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then asked, "Who's on the other end?"
Just as Cheng Zheng was about to get up, Sang Xing stopped him from approaching the monitoring station. He simply shouted into the person on the security guard's phone, "I'm Luo Huayi's special assistant! The surveillance footage concerns President Luo's reputation, we must..."
Cheng Zheng yanked away Sang Xing's hand, which was about to cover his mouth, and angrily shouted, "Are you crazy? Why are you covering my mouth?! Did you even wash your hands before touching someone's mouth?!"
The person on the other end of the phone said, "..."
"We absolutely must get the surveillance footage!" Cheng Zheng snapped out of his daze and continued shouting into his phone, "The buyout price is negotiable!"
Sang Xing pressed Cheng Zheng's head down, "What Luo Huayi can afford, our Young Master Song can afford too!"
Xin Que "..."
"Give it to Mr. Luo." Perhaps it was due to the protagonist's halo, but the person on the other end ultimately chose the male lead.
"We also hope that Assistant Cheng will convey to Mr. Luo that he will come and support our resort's business in the future."
Sang Xing broke down on the spot, "Do you know who our Young Master Song is? Do you believe me...?"
Cheng Zheng finally seized the opportunity to counterattack, and in the midst of the melee, he threw Sang Xing off him.
After Xin Que received the surveillance footage copied to her by the security guard, she immediately and completely shredded and deleted the surveillance data related to the section in the stairwell.
Sang Xing wanted to directly snatch the USB drive from her hand, but when he saw Xin Que's face, he was shocked and took a step back.
"It's you again!!!" Sang Xing was truly exasperated this time. "Are you Song Wangyuan's lackey or Luo Huayi's subordinate?!"
Xin Que checked the security guard's phone album and found no photos or videos related to the surveillance footage before returning the phone to the guard.
"Don't ask who I am," Xin Que tossed the USB drive to Cheng Zheng. "Whoever hires me is my person."
"I just occasionally work part-time as a good citizen who does good deeds."
Xin Que turned and left, leaving behind his merits and fame.
Yeah, right.
They also had to ask Cheng Zheng for the reward he had promised to give Xin Que.
Cheng Zheng, covered in bruises, had just returned to the guest room building with his bodyguard when he was ambushed by Xin Que, who was hiding around the corner.
Cheng Zheng's back ached as soon as he saw her. "...Who is your boss? I'm going to complain that you didn't distinguish between friend and foe during the mission and attacked your own teammates!"
“No boss, I’m self-employed, I’m my own boss,” Xin Que said matter-of-factly. “Don’t worry about those unimportant details. Just tell me, did you manage to break through the bodyguard blocking the door? And did you manage to get the surveillance footage in the end?”
Cheng Zheng's lips twitched, recalling the bruises on his lips from when he and Sang Xing had fought, and he gasped in pain.
“Okay, Mr. Xin, go to my room,” Cheng Zheng said with a headache. “I’ll ask President Luo for the funds and transfer them to you.”
"Don't block the stairwell to demand payment."
Xin Que knew from Cheng Zheng's decisive action in making payment when he helped Luo Huayi get rid of someone last time that Cheng Zheng was not the type to renege on his debts, so she took Cheng Zheng's room key without worry and went to his room.
As soon as the door opened, Xin Que stared at Luo Huayi, who was sitting on the sofa and being treated for his wounds by the doctor.
Xin Que: "???"
Luo Huayi: "???"
The doctor was nearly kicked by Luo Huayi's leg, which was about to spring up in response. He quickly grabbed Luo Huayi and said, "Mr. Luo, don't move!"
Luo Huayi slumped against the back of the large sofa, utterly dejected.
He shouldn't have felt unsafe in the suite and came to Cheng Zheng's room to treat his wounds.
Originally, I planned to use a feint, but instead, I teleported myself right in front of the enemy.
Fortunately, neither of them were pulled into the plot again until their wounds were successfully treated.
Luo Huayi didn't know why Xin Que's eyes didn't show any killing intent this time.
Instead, they were treated with the same kindness as if they were the God of Wealth.
He had seen that look in Cheng Zheng's eyes countless times before giving him a bonus.
Exactly the same.
Luo Huayi felt uneasy under her gaze and grabbed a cushion to block her view.
Cheng Zheng was startled when he couldn't find Luo Huayi. He rushed back and found Luo Huayi in his room. He breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw Xin Que waiting anxiously to pay the bill, his breath caught in his throat again.
“President Luo,” Cheng Zheng handed the USB drive from his pocket to Luo Huayi, “it was Ms. Xin who helped retrieve the surveillance footage… no, it was Ms. Xin who helped retrieve it.”
"Miss Xin," Cheng Zheng said, flustered, "how much will you charge for this commission?"
After listening to Cheng Zheng recount what happened in the monitoring room, Luo Huayi slowly removed the pillow from her head and looked at Xin Que with a puzzled expression, "Why did you help me?"
When collecting debts, Xin Que was always gentle, friendly, and sincere. "Nonsense, what else could it be but money? Is it because of you, you plague god?"
Luo Huayi “…”
In the end, Xin Que left Cheng Zheng's room with the newly arrived two million.
Everyone was happy.
If it weren't for a short video suddenly becoming a trending topic on Douyin.
Sang Xing, covered in bruises, slowly walked toward Song Wenxian's room.
The mission wasn't completed; Song Wenxian must be furious...
Sang Xing reluctantly knocked on Song Wenxian's door, stammering as she tried to explain what had happened in the surveillance room...
Song Wenxian couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Sang Xing: "???"
"Young Master Song," Sang Xing said, fearing it was the calm before the storm, "What...what's wrong with you?"
Song Wenxian held up his phone in front of Sang Xing, "Well done, the surveillance footage did go viral."
Sang Xing looked dazed.
He then stared at the screen in disbelief.
It is indeed surveillance video.
However, this is just a photo taken from the screen using a mobile phone, so the image isn't very clear and is even a bit shaky.
Sang Xing immediately thought of the security guard who was slacking off when he barged into the monitoring room.
Holy crap.
Heaven has not forsaken me.
Xin Que checked the photo album cloud drive recycle bin, but she didn't expect that the onlookers were one step ahead of the devil, and were able to take a picture of the gossip and share it on Douyin before the two sides arrived at the monitoring room.
Luo Huayi “…”
Cheng Zheng, clutching his hair in utter frustration, cried out, "Damn it! I anticipated everything, but I never expected this kind of accident!!!"
After being repeatedly provoked, Luo Huayi had become indifferent to such gossip and even had the leisure to contemplate life. "If the surveillance footage had already been leaked... does that mean... I wasted two million yuan hiring her?"
