Chapter 3915: Chapter 3903: Putting On a Show
"I’m calling the police now; we’ll catch them in the act."
"Don’t call, that would ruin the fun. With me here, they can’t do anything, and we can add another crime to their list."
"Another crime?"
"Their purpose in coming here is definitely to destroy evidence. If we don’t agree, they will surely make a move, and if this gets reported, it’s definitely an additional crime," Lin Yi said.
"Once they arrive, let Brother Ma find a place to secretly record all of it; that’s all we need."
"I never noticed before, but now I see how cunning you are, coming up with a plan like this," Zhou Li laughed.
"That’s how you deal with villains; let them see how treacherous people can be," Lin Yi replied with a grin.
"Where do you plan to meet them?"
"You go back to the room first, I’ll drive our car out and leave a hook, making it easier for them to find."
"Alright."
They split up. Lin Yi drove the car to an empty spot in front of the hotel, then went back to the room to meet up with Zhou Li and Ma Jun.
He then had Li Wei escort Xu Qingqing and their assistant away, telling them to return after everything was settled.
After returning to the room, Lin Yi had Ma Jun set up a micro camera in a hidden corner, all ready,
...
On the county’s street, a black SUV was leisurely driving along.
Besides Mao Hai Long, there were three others in the car, one of whom was driving and had tattoos on one arm.
"Brother Long, do you remember what car they’re driving?"
The driver, Zhao Tonghai, was a neighbor of Mao Hai Long; they grew up together, often engaging in petty crimes.
Sitting behind them were two more, lifelong friends who shared a very good relationship.
"I remember, a white Great Wall SUV. Drive slowly, don’t go too fast."
"I know, but our county isn’t small, are you sure we can find them this way? It’s like finding a needle in a haystack."
"Yeah right, you should check out Zhong Hai; that’s what you call big."
"It’s incomparable to Zhong Hai, but using this method to find them isn’t certain, either."
"Don’t say that," Mao Hai Long looked out the car window and said,
"They’re journalists from Zhong Hai; they’re surely staying in the best places. Let’s check out those big restaurants and hotels; we might run into them."
"That’s why you can make money; you’re more clever than the three of us." Zhao Tonghai laughed heartily.
"But what will you do once we find them? Are you planning to fight them?"
"They’re journalists; their identity is special, avoid physical conflict." Mao Hai Long lit a cigarette and opened the window. "Offer them some money; consider it a small price to pay for staying out of trouble."
"What if they refuse the money?"
"In this world, who doesn’t love money? Spending money will definitely solve the problem," Mao Hai Long said confidently.
"I’m saying, what if they refuse the money and want to expose the matter?" Zhao Tonghai said.
"Plus, don’t forget they’re journalists; this is their job. They’re unlikely to compromise easily; we must be prepared."
Mao Hai Long solemnly flicked away ash,
"If they really refuse the money, we won’t go easy on them. We absolutely cannot leave evidence."
"Are you going to smash their cameras?"
"Yes, that’s my thought, but it’s the last resort. It’s best to resolve the issue peacefully."
"Got it."
"I’m really having a bad luck in this year of my birth. I can’t believe I’m in this mess—hey, slow down; I think I see their car."
Mao Hai Long stopped Zhao Tonghai, and they parked in front of Xinghai Hotel.
"What’s up? Which one is their car?"
"That white SUV—is there anyone you know at this hotel?"
"Definitely. I can find someone I know for whatever we need in this county," Zhao Tonghai said while looking down at the hotel name. "My ex works the front desk here, I’ll give her a call."
"She’s your ex; will calling really help?"
"Absolutely. Just last night we met at the hotel, it’s all good."
"Let’s go, ask around."
The four of them got out of the car and walked into the hotel.
A blonde-haired receptionist looked up and, seeing Zhao Tonghai, immediately put down her phone.
"Why are you back?"
Speaking, the woman glanced over the four of them, feeling both nervous and expectant.
Coming with four people is a bit too thrilling, isn’t it?
Who could handle that?
"I came for some business." Zhao Tonghai stood at the front desk. "Outside there’s a white Great Wall SUV, can you check who drove it here?"
"What? You want to check the hotel’s guests?"
"Yeah, what’s wrong?"
Seeing Zhao Tonghai speak so naturally, the receptionist knew she had overthought.
"You need to check the surveillance."
"Go check it quickly; it’s urgent."
The receptionist hesitated, looking cautiously at the group.
"What are you after? If it’s for a fight, I won’t help; don’t drag me into trouble."
"How can that be? We’ve known each other for so many years; would I harm you?"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I am, don’t dawdle; just check the surveillance."
"Alright, wait a moment."
Hotel surveillance isn’t like residential areas; it can be checked on the bar’s computer.
The receptionist operated the computer for a moment,
"Found it; a group of six, three men and three women, booked four rooms, from 301 to 304."
Mao Hai Long looked closer, spotting Lin Yi in the surveillance, and pointed.
"Do you know which room this person is in?"
"I’m not sure, they might have switched rooms."
"Alright, stay here? I’ll go look around."
"Zhao Tonghai, I’m telling you, you’d better not mess around or I’ll get dragged in."
"Why are you so hesitant? I’m going up, talk later."
The four stood at the elevator and took it to the third floor, knocking on doors one by one.
No one answered after two knocks, but when they reached 303, there was noise inside.
"Who is it?"
Mao Hai Long didn’t answer but kept knocking.
In the room, Zhou Li sat on a chair and Ma Jun on the bed, both looking serious.
"Could it be them?"
"It’s highly likely," Lin Yi said confidently,
"They don’t dare to speak up, afraid we’ll recognize their voices. Definitely don’t open the door for them."
