Mei Shu furrowed her brow, feeling nothing but trouble.
She didn’t want to make a scene out of this trip, but unfortunately, this Zhou Lin character had made such a big fuss, which annoyed her to no end.
Jiang Hai understood her thoughts and directly declined on her behalf, “Miss Mei is tired today. Please convey to Mr. Zhou that the party is unnecessary.” “But this is Mr. Zhou’s sincere intention.”
The waiter, with a bitter face, wanted to persuade further, but at that moment, the elevator door opened, and everyone’s attention was drawn over there.
“Lady Lu, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Meng Niao, and I’m Mr. Zhou’s secretary. I’m here to inquire about the details of the evening party. Do you have any dietary restrictions?”
The man who arrived was in his thirties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and looked mature and worldly-wise.
Someone Zhou Lin would employ.
Mei Shu said, “No need for pleasantries. Tell Mr. Zhou the party is canceled, and I won’t be attending.”
“This might not be appropriate, right? Mr. Zhou specially invited many business elites from Wendith to welcome you. If you don’t come, Mr. Lu might blame us for not entertaining you properly.”
The man spoke methodically, trying to morally coerce her into attending.
Clearly, they thought they could easily manipulate her as she was a young girl. Mei Shu’s tone became stern again, “I know you and the Lu family have business interests, but my visit this time has nothing to do with your business.
I don’t need your hospitality. That’s it, goodbye.”
With that, Mei Shu left directly.
Jiang Hai quickly followed behind, giving Meng Niao a warning look as he passed by.
Meng Niao could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
It seemed he was destined to be criticized by the boss again when he returned!
Mei Shu went upstairs with Jiang Hai, casually taking a stack of room cards from his hand. While he was still stunned, she took another photo and handed it to him. “For efficiency’s sake, we’ll split up. Tonight, we’ll act. Find the room that matches the angle in the photo.”
“Yes.” Jiang Hai didn’t ask any further questions. He took the photo and entered the room next to Mei Shu’s.
When it was late at night, Mei Shu and Jiang Hai began checking each room and floor.
She had a list of the hotel’s occupants over the years. If she found the room, she might find the person who took the photo.
She firmly believed that person must know something.
As she stepped out of a room, Mei Shu was already somewhat breathless.
She leaned against the wall in the corridor to rest for a moment. Just then, she heard steady footsteps at the end of the corridor.
Mei Shu immediately became alert, straightening up and staring fixedly ahead, “Who’s there?”
Soon, a short and stout man emerged from the shadows, his face oily with a smile, “Lady Lu, I finally found you. So, you’re staying in this room!”
Mei Shu rolled her eyes silently, glancing at him sideways, “Do you need something?”
Zhou Lin smiled craftily, nervously rubbing his hands as he spoke, “I noticed you didn’t attend the party, so I came to see how you’re doing here!”
Mei Shu smiled without warmth, “Is this hotel also your property?”
“Oh, no, no!” Zhou Lin looked embarrassed, “But since you’ve come all this way, I have to fulfill the obligations of a host and take care of you well. That way, I can be accountable to Master Si, right?”
Mei Shu looked away, looking neither light nor heavy, “Zhou Lin, I like people who speak directly.”
Zhou Lin chuckled, “I really don’t mean anything else. It’s just because of that b*tch we had some unnecessary conflicts during the day. I’d like to formally apologize to you.”
“No need,” Mei Shu said bluntly, “Isn’t that woman your person?”
“Yes, yes, ultimately, it’s my fault.” Zhou Lin nervously glanced at the room Mei Shu had just entered, “Seeing you all sweaty like this, do you need help? If you really need my help, don’t hesitate! You can tell me whatever you need. Consider it an opportunity for me to make amends.”
Mei Shu turned her head slightly, glanced at him indifferently.
Zhou Lin hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, “I’m just afraid that Master Si will find trouble with me in the future! The person who followed you here today should be someone close to Master Si, right? Which room is he staying in? I’ll go and visit him too.”
Mei Shu retracted her gaze and said disinterestedly, “I don’t know. Go find him yourself.”
With that, she didn’t wait for Zhou Lin to say anything more, she just opened the door and entered the room she had just been in, slamming the door shut in front of Zhou Lin.
In the corridor,
After Mei Shu left, the smile on Zhou Lin’s face suddenly disappeared. He quickly walked into the safety passage, took out his phone, and made a call, “As you suspected, it seems she’s really investigating every room in the hotel, but I don’t understand why those specific floors, and why this hotel?”
The person on the other end of the phone said something, and Zhou Lin quickly said respectfully, “Alright, I understand. Rest assured, I’ll keep an eye on her..”
