Chapter 57
Interested in catching cheaters?
You must be interested in Li Zhen! Even Zhang Xiya didn't have the heart to point out the big boss.
Fei Zhao was skilled at driving in the congested Tianfu Second Street... No, he was as lifeless as a dead fish.
"It's too congested, congested to the point where we can't move at all," Fei Zhao remained calm on the surface, but was freaking out on the inside.
Li Zhen gritted her teeth and opened the car door, "I'll run over first, you guys follow after."
After saying that, she dashed off like the wind.
Zhang Xiya was a little stunned, "But she doesn't know the room number, so going over won't help."
-
Miewei Hotel was a themed hotel, and most of the guests were couples.
It was just the time when the lights had just turned on, and there were many people coming and going.
Li Zhen ran to the front desk of Miewei Hotel, panting heavily. She had an anxious look on her face and said, "Hello."
The front desk was startled by the anxious state of the guest in front of her, "Hello, how may I help you?"
"Please help me check which room Xiao Tai is in. He's my brother. His heart rate monitoring watch is showing an abnormal signal, and I suspect he may be having a heart attack. I can't reach him on his phone either." Li Zhen said urgently.
The front desk attendant had a difficult expression on her face.
From time to time, people would come to the hotel trying to catch their partner cheating this way.
Could this person be trying to fish for a room number?
"Please help me check quickly. Otherwise if something happens to my brother, it would be a loss of life." Li Zhen urged again.
"I'm sorry miss, no matter the situation, we cannot disclose guest room numbers."
"Then can you please call his room and ask about his condition? That should be okay, right?"
The front desk attendant hesitated, but eventually nodded, "Alright."
Li Zhen watched as the front desk input the phone number. She instantly felt relieved.
What she really wanted was the phone number.
If she had directly asked for the number, they definitely wouldn't have agreed. So Li Zhen started with an unreasonable request to lookup the room number first, then asked to make a call. Feeling guilty and wanting to make up for it, the front desk was more likely to agree to the second request.
Before the call connected, Li Zhen reached out and hung up. She smiled brightly and sincerely, "I suddenly remembered my sister-in-law is with my brother. I can contact her instead, thank you."
Front desk: ......
Li Zhen pretended to be making a phone call and walked toward the elevator area.
Once she was out of sight of the front desk, she stopped a passing hotel security guard, "Hello, can you help me with something?"
"What can I do for you miss?" The hotel security guard stopped right away.
"My boyfriend called and asked me to come over, but he forgot to tell me the room number. He's using the room landline since his phone is dead. Could you help me check which room this is?"
Li Zhen looked up at him expectantly, showing the guard the phone number on her phone.
The guard's heart thumped rapidly. The girl in front of him was so pretty.
In a daze, he said, "That's room 1203."
"Okay, thank you!" Li Zhen nodded politely with a slight lift of her brows to express her gratitude.
But when the guard looked behind her, his eyes cracked in shock. "You...you have three people with you today?"
This beauty is into some freaky stuff?
Li Zhen's brows jumped in surprise as she looked back in confusion.
How was Lu Yanming behind her!
No wonder the guard misunderstood!
Li Zhen awkwardly covered her eyes...
She said she was here to see her boyfriend, but had another man with her. How does that look?
"Miss, isn't it not so good to have three people in a relationship? Love between three would be very crowded..." said the guard, his face as colorful as a palette.
"Although not good, it's because of you," Li Zhen looked gently at the guard.
"Because of me? What does this have to do with me!" The guard jumped back in shock.
"Yes, what does this have to do with you!" Li Zhen's brows tilted up slightly, a faint smile escaping from her throat.
Lu Yanming was a little stunned, a very faint smile curling from his throat.
Under the guard's horrified gaze, Li Zhen pulled Lu Yanming into the elevator and pressed 12.
"Mr. Lu, you should have said something when you followed me in," Li Zhen grumbled. If she had known he was there, she would have used a different excuse to avoid misunderstanding by the guard.
"I sent you a message, but you didn't see it," Lu Yanming explained sincerely in a clean, low voice. Even if he was really at fault, it made people lose any thought of blaming him.
Li Zhen rubbed her ears, "Oh okay."
Luckily everything went relatively smoothly so far without wasting too much time. Being misunderstood was awkward, but she hoped they could make it in time.
The two arrived on the twelfth floor and stood in front of room 1203.
Thinking about what disgusting things Qiao Yi's husband was doing inside with another woman made Li Zhen want to vomit.
Li Zhen sent Zhang Xiya a message: [Found it, they're in room 1203.]
Zhang Xiya: [Awesome! How did you find it? Sherlock Li?]
Li Zhen proudly: [Piece of cake.]
Zhang Xiya: [Then how will you get into the room? You need to get in to catch them in the act and take photos.]
She was right, how would she get into the room? Li Zhen furrowed her brows.
She looked up at the tall Lu Yanming beside her. Should she get him to barge in? No, if he got hurt from it, she wouldn't be able to afford compensating the company's vice president.
Just then, a room attendant got off on the 12th floor.
Li Zhen's eyes lit up and she quickly waved to call her over, "Sister!"
The room attendant hurried over, "Yes miss?"
Li Zhen pretended as if she had just come out of the room to head out. "Could you please clean room 1203? I'm going to grab a late night snack then come back."
Lu Yanming stood silently next to her, following along with her act and walking out with her.
"Sure." The room attendant took out the key card after the guests left.
With a "beep", the door opened.
Right at that moment, Li Zhen swiftly turned back and rushed into the room with her camera raised, "You cheating dog man and woman! You..."
Li Zhen froze!
The room was empty!
The room attendant's motions froze at the doorway.
The room attendant and woman stared at each other awkwardly.
Room attendant: ......
Li Zhen: ......
The room attendant shooed her out!
-
Li Zhen and Lu Yanming were chased by the room attendant to the elevator.
As the elevator descended linearly, so did Li Zhen's mood. "What should we do? Catching cheaters is so difficult, they already left."
"They didn't leave. They just went out to buy some sex toys." Lu Yanming raised his hand and massaged the fair and delicate nape of her neck.
After the high-pressure rush in this short time, Li Zhen had been feeling unwell. Lu Yanming's force was gentle and appropriate, immediately relaxing her a lot.
Her emotions calmed down a bit as she softly murmured in comfort, "That's possible too."
"It's not a guess."
"Not a guess?"
"Fei Zhao checked the hotel surveillance footage. The conversation between the two was very clear." Lu Yanming showed Li Zhen the message Fei Zhao sent him.
After Li Zhen got off the elevator, Lu Yanming and Fei Zhao followed her into the hotel, leaving only Zhang Xiya waiting in the car.
Li Zhen was delighted!
The cheating couple would come back after buying stuff. She still had hope of obtaining evidence today.
But the next second, Li Zhen became dejected again. "Unfortunately we can't get into that room! Just having surveillance of them entering and leaving the hotel isn't very useful."
Right after Li Zhen finished speaking, the elevator arrived on the first floor. The doors opened and Fei Zhao respectfully handed over a card and small box, "Miss Li, this is the key card for room 1203, and this is a miniature camera."
Li Zhen's mouth formed an "O" shape in exaggeration.
Seeing no reaction from Li Zhen, Lu Yanming took them.
The elevator doors closed again and slowly ascended to the 12th floor.
It took Li Zhen a very long time to react. "Mr. Lu, Assistant Fei, where did you recruit him from? Is he Doraemon?"
Able to produce anything she needed!
"You'll have to ask him that," Lu Yanming chuckled lightly.
