109 Chapter 109 : Gathering Evidence

The next day, Xiulan woke up very early to gather some in-house evidence that Yi Sha had been soliciting money from the Ling family.

With her very handy CCTV hacking software, she infiltrated the inn's security systems and CCTV footage database.

During her initial gathering of evidence a few months ago, she wasn't able to get proper footage. She only got bank transactions and messages from WeChat.

This time, she'll track down this woman's transactions with videos and such. Now that she has full control of the CCTV inside the inn and the CCTV in other establishments, she can now fully follow this woman's every movement.

She's like a secret spy or a world-class thief, either it was to save the world or steal something. She felt like a character from Totally Spies or Lupin.

It was only 6:30 AM and the staff for the morning shift were now ready to start their day.

Xiulan might be invading the privacy of Yi Sha but she must do this before Yi Sha tries to steal more money from her employers.

From the time Yi Sha woke up, doing her morning routine and getting ready for work, Xiulan monitored everything. This is a must since she must not slip any chances to catch her in the act.

The whole morning, Xiulan was devoted to monitoring everything. Though when everything's getting boring, she would call Secretary Dandan to get some updates in what was happening in her company.

The day ended doing the same boring routine of monitoring Yi Sha and working. She will do this for a whole week before she releases the evidence she had captured.

It was almost 8 pm and Xiulan just ate her dinner inside her room and only called the inn's home service.

When she checked the CCTV footage, she noticed that Yi Sha was going to her room. She doesn't remember that she asked for any request for Yi Sha. "Why is this woman coming here? Does she know that I've been stalking her for the whole day?" Xiulan slightly panicked a little.

"Good evening, Mrs. Xing. This is the head manager Yi Sha." Xiulan heard from the outside of her room.

She slowly went near the door and tried to wait if the head manager will call say something again.

"Mrs. Xing? Are you not there?" Yi Sha asked again. As far as she remembers, Mrs. Xing didn't leave her room yet. She was stuck inside her room for the whole day and only called for a home service. "She might be in the bathroom..." she quietly muttered.

Xiulan heard everything. It seems that Yi Sha only came here to inform her something. She slowly opened the door and flashed her pearly white teeth to Yi Sha.

"Head manager. Good evening. Is something wrong?" Xiulan greeted with her charming smile activated.

"Good evening as well, Mrs. Xing. By the way, the hot spring is ready for you to use. Unfortunately, we only allotted two hours of use for you. We currently have a lot of guests who wanted to use it as well. So to be fair with everyone, we only alotted short periods for everyone." Yi Sha apologetically informed.

In fairness to Yi Sha's hospitality, she's so good at this. Maybe the years of experience in handling the family inn made her look like she can be trusted.

"Sure. It's fine, head manager. Thank you for informing me. I think two hours is too much already. Maybe I can finish in less than an hour. I'll come down after ten minutes. Is there anything else?" Xiulan was beaming while she talks to the head manager.

"Alright. I'll inform the staff. Have a nice evening, Mrs. Xing." Yi Sha said one more time before leaving the hall.

Xiulan sighed and went back to what she was doing. Since she won't be able to monitor Yi Sha while she's in the hot spring, she must turn on the automatic record everything right while she's gone.

After she finished doing the necessary preparations, she headed downstairs to the hot springs. She expected to see a lot of people but it was only full of couples.

She also saw the pretty lady who caused a commotion yesterday. It seems that she's alone and sulking.

Xiulan had to walk near the lady and by the time she was almost in front of the lady, they had an eye to eye contact.

Xiulan was about to let go of their awkward eye contact but the woman, ambiguously beamed at her. Xiulan can't help but smile as well and just quickly pass by. But the lady suddenly called her.

"Hi! Are you Mrs. Xing? Xing Hongqi's wife?"

Xiulan can't help but sigh inwardly. This is madness, even strangers were familiar with her. What kind of popularity does her husband have? "Hi! Uhmm… may I help you?" She looked back and smiled at the lady.

"No, nothing. You are quite popular on the internet. You are really pretty in person." The lady complimented.

Xiulan blushed a little. It's rare that a stranger would directly compliment her. "Thank you. You're pretty too." She shyly commented and nodded awkwardly, meaning she's leaving first.

The lady didn't say anything anymore but she was staring at Xiulan's retreating back very sharply. When Xiulan was out of sight, the woman pulled out her phone and called her boss.

"Secretary Yang Bo, the madam went to the hot springs. This is the only time she went outside of her room." the lady reported and acted very nonchalantly.

"Good. Thanks for the report. Did you prepare the entrapment plan already? We must successfully clear this and follow the schedule." Secretary Yang Bo mentioned. He quickly gazed at Hongqi, who's currently having a serious talk with Han Pierre and some old college friends.

"Yes, of course. Everything is under control. The head manager hag, Yi Sha, was already alarmed. Once she's anxious, she'll start to make mistakes." The lady pointed.

"Very nice. Please continue to monitor the madam and make sure that she won't notice anything fishy and out of proportion. Also, make sure that you won't conflict with her investigation. As part of the pioneer members of Young Master Xing's security team, you must do your jobs properly." Secretary Yang Bo's words were very intimidating.

"Yes. I will put that in mind. I will inform the rest of the team to take precautions."

No one knows what kind of entrapment will happen to Yi Sha but according to Hongqi's team, they will successfully clear this out without Xiulan being aware of it.
