After letting “Bitch” off the hook, Xiao Qian walked into the hotel and took out her ID card.
“Mr. Ni Jianren just now is my elder brother, and I’m helping him to deliver something.” She gestured at the bag in her other hand.
When she showed the ID card, her finger just happened to block the last name.
At this moment, it was important to be calm and natural, composed and unhurried, not to barge in directly but to take the initiative to show her ID card, so that the other party wouldn’t be suspicious.
As expected, when the hotel receptionist saw that she could take out her ID card and even say the name of a member client, they told her the room number and let her in.
At this time, most state-owned hotels had been eliminated from the market, and this hotel in Qiang City was considered a good one. However, it was still far from the standard of the star-rated hotels Xiao Qian had stayed in her past life. The dark corridors and damp smell were forcibly covered by inferior incense. Walking inside, one could occasionally hear a mysterious groan or two.
Xiao Qian’s inner state was calm, even though she felt like laughing.
Xiao Qian patted herself on the face. The various sounds in the corridor didn’t make her blush, but just the mention of Yu Minglang’s name made her face warm.
When she reached the door of Ni Jianren’s room, she stood there patiently, calculating the time.
When Yu Minglang chased in, the hotel receptionist stopped him, and he was eager to see Xiao Qian.
He took out a hundred yuan bill and his documents.
“Book a room!”
“By yourself?” The receptionist looked at Yu Minglang curiously several times. It was strange to see a guest without any company or luggage.
“Yes, don’t waste time, hurry up!” He was afraid that if he was late, Xiao Qian would have entered someone’s room, and then…
Recently, there had been two hotel murder cases in Qiang City, with young women as the victims. When he saw Xiao Qian entering alone, he couldn’t help but rush in.
As for why he cared so much about a stranger, he didn’t think about it. He just felt that she, like Zhou Zhiruo, had a magnetic pull.
The receptionist was somewhat slow, making Yu Minglang anxious. He even wanted to go directly in. When the paperwork was finally done, he almost rushed in.
It was a two-story hotel, and as soon as he stepped into the corner corridor, he saw a slender figure.
Seeing that she was fine, Yu Minglang breathed a sigh of relief.
But immediately, he was captivated by Xiao Qian’s side profile.
Xiao Qian closed her eyes and allowed the dim light to cast over her. Shadows made her long eyelashes form a beautiful curve on her face.
Her porcelain doll-like skin radiated youthful vitality from every pore.
Yu Minglang didn’t like hotels, but in this chaotic environment, she stood quietly, like a lotus flower blooming in the mud, with everything around her not affecting her at all. She grew in a self-contained rage.
Even so, Yu Minglang could see the curve of disdain around her lips.
She always stood outside the world, observing people with a cold eye. But she would also protect children and feed stray cats.
These two contradictory qualities were present in the same woman.
Yu Minglang’s face grew hotter, and for the first time, he heard his heartbeat accelerate because of a woman.
His body felt burning hot, even more so than when he had been lurking on the scorching desert surface during a mission. But unlike that painful heat, this was a natural reaction ignited by hormones, warm and with an urge to break the skin, an irresistible and uncontrollable madness.
Yu Minglang thought he would be one of those people who wouldn’t experience hormonal surges in his lifetime. When his comrades talked about their romantic experiences, he only had one reaction: why were they so excited?
However, when Xiao Qian appeared in his world with her fragile yet arrogant attitude, standing outside the world, he understood that everyone had their moment of excitement.
The thing is, to trigger this chemical reaction, one must meet the right person, but some people never get to meet them in a lifetime.
So, at the age of 24, Yu Minglang finally met her.
Suddenly, the girl who stirred his emotions moved. She was no longer a statue-like figure, but opened the bag in her hand and took out a… camera?
Just as Yu Minglang was puzzled about what Xiao Qian was going to do, he was greatly startled by her next move.
Xiao Qian skillfully took out a paper cutter from her pocket, wedged it into the door gap, gave it a slight pry, and the door lock was opened. Then Xiao Qian turned the door, leaving just enough of a gap for her camera to take pictures of the couple on the bed, clicking the shutter continuously.
She was very satisfied with herself, as the timing was just right, and the protagonists were cooperative and showing their faces.
Xiao Qian moved quickly, snapping photos with her camera.. After making sure she had collected enough evidence, she lifted her foot and kicked open the door!
