Chapter 341: Chapter 341

An Xiaoqing realized the conversation had strayed too far and was getting ridiculous, so she quickly stopped Rongrong, who wanted to keep talking. She nodded and said, "Let’s get down to business first."

"I know the manager of this hotel. It’s a definite advantage to have me with you."

Rongrong didn’t give Chenyang another chance to refuse. The words had barely left her mouth before she was already leading the way inside.

Chenyang smiled helplessly. ’We’ve already come this far. I guess we’re in this together.’

It was midnight. The hotel lobby was quiet.

The staff member behind the front desk was also dozing off.

Whether it was to prove her worth or simply because she knew her way around, Rongrong strode right up to the front desk.

After waking the staff member, she quickly obtained the key card for Lin Jiji’s room.

’I have to admit, bringing Rongrong along was the right decision.’

Because the elevators also required a key card.

Furthermore, there were two security guards posted at the fire escape entrance.

In other words, without a key card, they couldn’t even reach Lin Jiji’s floor, let alone get into his room.

The three of them swiped the card and took the elevator, quickly arriving on the 11th floor.

"This way."

Rongrong pointed to the left and led them to the door of room 1106.

"Are you sure this is Lin Jiji’s room?" Chenyang asked.

Rongrong said confidently, "You can question my character, but you absolutely cannot question my abilities! Let me put it this way: on Yang City’s turf, if I want to find someone, I could drag them out of the darkest corner of a sewer, even if they were hiding there."

Coming from anyone else, it would have sounded like bragging. But from the beloved daughter of the Public Security Bureau’s chief and the younger sister of the criminal investigation unit’s captain, it was no exaggeration at all.

An Xiaoqing nodded as well. "It should be correct. When Rongrong and I got the key card just now, we also asked the front desk. The staff said Lin Jiji’s party only booked two rooms: 1106 and the one across from it, 1112."

Chenyang looked up at room 1112 across the hall and frowned. "These two rooms must be for Lin Jiji and his assistant or agent."

"Yep. 1106 is a deluxe room, and 1112 is a standard one. A big star like him would definitely stay in the best room, so this has to be it."

With that said, Rongrong got ready to swipe the card and open the door.

However, just as she stepped forward, before she could even raise her hand with the card, a sudden noise came from the room across the hall.

"Someone’s coming out."

"What do we do?"

Chenyang’s eyes flickered. "Keep walking down the hall. Act like guests."

With that, the three of them headed further down the corridor.

CLICK!

At the same time, the young assistant from room 1112 opened her door and stepped out.

A short while ago, she had used her connections to track Chenyang’s movements. She learned that he had been taken by Gao Tianqi to a private residence behind the hotel.

She was coming out now to find Chenyang, hoping to use him to get her revenge on Lin Jiji.

After stepping out, she cautiously looked around. The hall to her left was empty, but to her right, she spotted Chenyang, An Xiaoqing, and Rongrong.

She didn’t recognize An Xiaoqing or Rongrong.

But Chenyang was a very familiar face.

She had spent all of yesterday helping Lin Jiji dig up dirt on Chenyang, and she’d lost count of how many surveillance videos and photos she had reviewed.

So she recognized him instantly, even from behind.

The young assistant frowned, murmuring to herself. ’So many people are watching him right now. He should’ve gone straight back to the hospital after leaving Gao Tianqi’s place. Why on earth is he in a hotel?

’He’s with two women... Is he here to get a room and fool around? No! His reputation is in shambles. He can’t possibly be in the mood for that.

’Besides, according to the latest reports, the authorities are already pressuring the hospital. By eleven a.m. tomorrow, Chenyang and the hospital have to come forward and give Lin Jiji and the victim an official explanation.

’No matter how carefree he is, he couldn’t possibly be here to have a good time. And even if he just wanted to rest, a simple doctor like him probably couldn’t afford to stay at a hotel this expensive.’

At this thought, the young assistant’s gaze shot to Lin Jiji’s room across the hall, and her eyes flashed. ’He came all the way to Lin Jiji’s hotel and even to this specific floor... Has he cracked under the pressure? Did he fail to find a way out and come here to beg for mercy?’

’No! I can’t let him go beg Lin Jiji for mercy. If he does, my own plans will be ruined.’

The young assistant was no fool. Although she hadn’t guessed Chenyang’s true purpose, she was certain he was there to find Lin Jiji.

’They must have heard me leaving my room,’ she deduced, ’and are walking away to avoid being seen.’

With this in mind, the young assistant wasted no more time and hurried after them.
