“But trying to get out of here now is not going to be an easy task.”

As Suri Drew spoke, a trace of sadness appeared on her face.

She knew that this task was indeed quite difficult.

If they wanted to carry it out, it would require a lot of effort.

Moreover, if the people outside were really guarding every exit, their escape would be even more difficult.

Price and Yigol Novak, who were standing nearby, couldn’t help but nod after hearing her words. How could they not understand what she meant?

However, no matter what, they would surely think of a solution instead of just waiting here.

At this moment, Yigol seemed to have thought of something, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes as he turned to Price and asked.

“By the way, how did you know about this place, and why are you hiding here too?”

After hearing these words, Price smiled.

He knew they would be interested in this matter.

Perhaps at the beginning, he could not tell them his past experiences, but now that he knew they were on the same side, there would be no need to hide anything from them in the future.

Thus, he began to speak.

“Actually, I came here to investigate some matters concerning this hotel because I noticed that you guys seemed to be unaware of some of the hotel’s secrets.”

“But later, I felt that something was off. Usually, there would be many people around, but at that time, there was almost no one.”

“Haven’t you noticed?”

After hearing this, Suri and Yigol recalled that when they first entered the hotel, they also felt that something was unusual.

At that time, they didn’t think too much about it; they just assumed they were overthinking.

If they had paid more attention back then, perhaps the situation wouldn’t be so bad now.

Therefore, they nodded in agreement, feeling somewhat helpless and sighed.

“Yes, we did notice it at the beginning, but we didn’t think much about it.”

From the start, their grandmother and other ladies had warned them, but they never realized how dangerous the situation actually was.

However, discussing this now was useless. All they can do is try to think of a way to escape.

Then, Price continued to speak.

“So, I felt that something was wrong, and then I saw a group of black people suddenly coming up from downstairs. That’s when I immediately left my room and found this place.”

After finishing speaking, he lightly tapped the back of his head.

“You must be wondering how I knew about this place. You should know that I am a journalist, and I am naturally more aware of these things than you. Actually, ever since the hotel was built, there have been many secret passages.”

Upon hearing this, the confusion in both their eyes deepened, completely unexpected that there would be such a thing.

Why did a decent hotel have so many hidden compartments?

What on earth did they want to do?

This prompted Suri’s face to become slightly more serious as she asked.

“It’s just a hotel. Why are there so many hidden compartments? Are they trying to hide someone?”

After hearing this, Price did not hesitate to nod and explain further.

“It’s not because they want to hide people. In fact, from the beginning, this place has served as an illegal transaction venue.”

“And every time they were about to be caught, they would hide in here.”

Upon hearing these words, they finally understood the whole story, though they still felt somewhat astonished.

They never thought that in such a large hotel, there would be a place like this.

If this was the case, staying here would be too dangerous, wouldn’t it?

Perhaps one day, a stranger might suddenly crawl into your room without any explanation of who they were.

Fortunately, they had never encountered such a situation before.

Price continued to explain.

“But in fact, most people nowadays don’t know about this. I found out about it while investigating the hotel and hearing it from the older generation.”

At that point, Yigol considered the possibility.

Perhaps, this place was never originally a hotel.

The current luxurious looking hotel was built upon its earlier foundation.

So, those hidden compartments remained.

Some might no longer be usable, while others could still be used, such as the one they were in now.

As the hotel owner had changed so many times, only a few people knew of this secret now.

However, this was also the reason why they could safely evade capture.

Without these structures, they might have been caught long ago.

“Since only older people know, it means that many people here are unaware. So, is it safe for us to hide here temporarily?” Suri asked cautiously.

Price nodded without hesitation. If this place wasn’t safe, he wouldn’t have stayed here either.

“I wanted to leave as soon as I noticed something was wrong, but as I was about to leave, I found out that all the exits had been blocked and guarded, so there was no way to get out.”

“So, with no other option, I had to hide here. Fortunately, I stayed hidden and safe without being discovered.”

Both of them also nodded, acknowledging that this place was indeed very safe. They could hear footsteps outside, but those people never discovered them.

This was a fortunate thing for them.

They supposed that the other people were furious by their inability to find them.

But as long as they were safe, it didn’t matter.

It was fortunate that they had already eaten and drank well if they hadn’t, the current situation would have been even worse due to hunger.

However, they certainly didn’t want to stay in here forever.

But to leave this place was no simple task.
