Chapter 140 - Step 3 (IV) (1/2)
Xian Tao was looking back and forth from the entrance door and the elevator.
He was afraid that the two people he was tailing would left. This was the place that his boss assumed good for striking a deal.
The entrance door opened and a girl in her teens with a middle-aged man in tow slowly walked inside.
'Boss!'
Xian Tao waved his hand with enthusiasm.
Xiong Zhi saw him and nodded.
”How have you been, boss?”
”Good. You?”
”I'm great. Mr. Qi hasn't come out yet.”
”How long has he been there?”
”Almost an hour.”
”Hmmm..” Xiong Zhi sat in one of the seats in the lobby. This hotel was a middle class one.
According to the Xian Tao report, Qi Hier's lover was temporarily living here.
And they must have been doing a rated SPG scene in their room.
After a while, Xiong Zhi stands up. She was afraid that the person they were looking for would take his time there for the whole day. She doesn't have that patience and schedule to wait for him.
”Let's go.”
”Eh.. yes!” Xian Tao followed Xiong Zhi.
The owners of the SHM have a blind trust in Xiong Zhi. They thought that as long as Xiong Zhi wants it, she could have it. So even though, Xian Tao doesn't know the plan, he did not question Xiong Zhi of what they about to do and followed her to the elevator.
The three people with their chin held up passed by the receptionist. The receptionist just glanced at them. Since they looked rich enough to have their own room at the hotel, the receptionist did not block them.
Xian Tao felt like he was a great man by trespassing the hotel.
”What's the room number?” Xiong Zhi asked.
”2645.”
Mr. Ji pressed the 26th floor.
Xiong Zhi was calm as she was thinking of how to make a deal with the person they would meet today.
The Qi brothers have a 15% share of the ArtWorld. They are the second among the highest investors in the ArtWorld. Since they are contracted for that 15% it shows how well-off the Qi brothers are.
In terms of finances and influence, the Qi family is not lacking. So after a week of investigation, Xiong Zhi could only come up with one effective solution.
'Ting.'
They arrived at the 26th floor. They looked for 2645. Mr. Ji pressed the doorbell.
However, after five consecutive of ringing doorbell, no one answered.
”Young miss..” Mr. Ji looked at Xiong Zhi.
Xiong Zhi just nod. Gesturing to him to continue pressing the doorbell.
After some time, a man's hoarse voice sounded in the intercom.
”Who's there?”
”I'm here to look for Mr. Qi Hier.”
”...” There was only silence in the other line.
”I know he is in there. I just want ten minutes of your time.”
”..I-I don't know what you're talking about. You got the wrong house.”
Xiong Zhi with a straight face said.
”Are you sure? I have a picture that you and Mr. Qi enter together in this building. Do you want me to give this to the media? They must be thrilled.”
”...t-that...I don't know who he is.. Who are you?”
”Let me come in. We will talk. ”
”...t-that..I-m sorry. I dont know you. The security is on the way. Please go.”
Xiong Zhi looked at Xian Tao.
Xian Tao got the signal and hand her the phone with a voice recorder.
Xiong Zhi played the voice clip.
[ ”Q-Qi Hier..w-we s-should not ah! S-should not do i-it ah! A-anymore ah!”
”What are you saying..huff..you can't even.. huff.. speak properly. Is it so huff..nice to be once more huff connected with me..?”
..... ]
The sweet whispers of the two people echoed in the hallway.
Xiong Zhi tapped the pause button.
”I can send it anytime to any media company. Are you sure you will not talk to me, Mr. Qi Hier?”
”...You!” Another voice, different from earlier shouted from the intercom.
