Chapter 840: Paying a Visit
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The elevator that took Zhang Xiaoyu had arrived on the first floor, yet she didn’t step out of the elevator at all. As she found that nobody else took the elevator, she pressed the button back to the 12th floor. Then, she enthusiastically ran back to the door of the 1206 presidential suite and knocked on the door.
“Hey, Xiaoyu, aren’t you sending my clothes to the dry cleaner? Why are you coming back now?” Zhang Xinya was holding a mobile phone with earphones plugged into her ears as she stood by the door.
Zhang Xiaoyu squeezed into the room and excitedly said, “Guess who I just bumped into in the corridor, big sis?”
Zhang Xinya charmingly rolled her eyes in response to her words. With a lack of interest, she closed the door and went back to the sofa in the guest partition. She then plugged in another earphone to her ear with a downcast manner, “No matter who you just bumped into, could you just please go and dry-clean our clothes? If you can’t get them done before we leave the day after tomorrow, just be careful, for I’ll punish you by having you stare at me having a meal!”
Zhang Xiaoyu dumped the shopping bags in her hand on a single sofa and then strode to the front of Zhang Xinya’s side and sat down. Then she said, “I dare swear on tonight’s dinner that you’ll definitely regret it if you don’t hear me, Big Sis.”
After saying that, she then realized that the sound coming from Zhang Xinya’s earphone was very loud. She immediately pulled one of the earphones out and repeated what she just said.
“You do know that I’m in a bad mood, right? So, hurry up and say what you wanna say,” said Zhang Xinya helplessly. “I can at least have my mind distracted by listening to music.”
“You see, I just saw the person’s picture on your mobile’s screen,” said Zhang Xiaoyu seriously.
The person’s photo on my mobile photo?
Zhang Xinya only spared a bit of attention to it and was preparing to plug the earphone into her ear again. But her stunning face suddenly froze and even her hand that was just lifted up turned stiff.
Tang… Tang Xiu?
Zhang Xinya abruptly got up and stared at Zhang Xiaoyu before hurriedly asking, “Are you worried that I’m always in a bad mood, so you wanna make fun of me? Or did you really just see… him… Tang Xiu?”
“I dared to swear before, didn’t I, Big Sis? How could I crack a joke just to tease you?” said Zhang Xiaoyu with all seriousness. “I really just saw the man that is on your mobile’s screen in the corridor. He’s very handsome and was followed by six males.”
“He also came to Qinglin County and stays on the same floor of this hotel?” muttered Zhang Xinya in a jubilant mood. “Quickly tell me, Xiaoyu, which room is he staying in?”
“I dunno which one, though. I just saw those men and thought that they are not good people, so I avoided them and hid.” Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head and said, “I only saw their backs afterwards. I didn’t even see which room they went in.”
Zhang Xinya quickly unplugged the earphone on the other ear before she grabbed her cell phone and headed outside at a jog. As she came to the empty corridor, she wandered for short while before she saw Zhang Xiaoyu and came running to her hurriedly. “Xiaoyu, go to the first floor’s reception counter and ask the staff where Tang Xiu is staying… No, never mind it, I’ll go there myself.”
She rushed toward the elevator after saying that.
In presidential suite 1208.
Tang Xiu took two cans of beer from the refrigerator and threw one to Long Zhenglin before saying, “I gave the name of another man for you to ask around about. Got any result on this guy?”
“Wang Rui?” asked Long Zhenglin curiously.
“Yeah, that Wang Rui. I heard that he’s from Qingcheng Mountain, though I don’t know much about his origins,” said Tang Xiu. “But this guy is quite powerful and he should also be someone rich. His style is kinda similar to Wang Tao like you told me since he always has bodyguards around and is kind of a flaunt.”
“I asked around several times but never heard any news on this guy.” Long Zhenglin shook his head and said, “I think he shouldn’t be a public figure in Qinglin County.”
Tang Xiu’s expression moved suddenly as he had a thought in mind. He immediately got up and said, “Stay here and wait for me as l go see Wang Tao now. Maybe, I have a way to get the Red Silk Flower from him.”
A few minutes later, Tang Xiu left the hotel with Mo Awu. He didn’t see Zhang Xinya who was asking the receptionist at the hotel lobby. Of course, Zhang Xinya herself didn’t notice Tang Xiu as she didn’t even look back and was full of anticipation for the receptionist’s reply.
The southern municipality of Qinglin County.
There was a single villa building with its own entrance and courtyard. The European-style villa had three floors and looked extraordinary stylish with its two-meters high surrounding walls and painted glass, emitting out a blurry but radiant glory of the setting sun’s radiance.
In the courtyard outside and inside the guard post, two security guards in black uniforms were smoking cigarettes while having a chat.
“Honk, honk…”
A car’s horn sounded and disturbed the two security guards inside. They pinched out the cigarette butt and one of them walked out of the post to see a brand-new black car parked outside, before asking, “What are you doing here? This is a private residence; strangers are not allowed to enter without permission.”
Mo Awu got out from the car and ignored the security guard. Instead, he came to the rear of the car and opened its door. As Tang Xiu stepped out of the door, he looked around before shifting his gaze to the security guard and said, “I’m looking for Wang Rui.”
