“Sir, do you… still want to continue monitoring?”
The monitoring room’s original light-hearted atmosphere was ruined by the appearance of a man. All of a sudden, this spacious room became chilly.
“This gentleman here, all of our hotel’s CCTV footage for today is here. If you’re unable to find the person you want to find, it only means that the said person didn’t come to our hotel.”
The security guard in the monitoring room withstood the pressure and said this to the man, who was standing silently there as he watched the CCTV footage on rewind.
“Everything is here?” whispered Ji Ziming, his brows furrowing.
However, he heard the name so clearly that it could not be his illusion…
Lifting his head, he looked at the group of security guards. Eventually, he remained silent and looked at the screen again.
Seeing the people come and go at the hotel entrance, he just could not see the person he wanted to see. He, thus, pursed his lips.
“That’s right. Sir, all of our hotel’s CCTV footage is here.”
The security guard heaved a sigh of relief when he heard him finally say something.
“Sir, wh-who are we looking for?”
The little secretary really wished for his direct superior, Assistant Du, to be here to save the day!
However, distant water could not put out a nearby fire.
In the end, the man turned around after eyeing the CCTV footage.
When he was about to leave the place, he saw a familiar figure on one of the screens.
“Who is… this woman?” He coldly pointed at the woman who had appeared for a split-second and got the security officer to rewind the said footage.
“Ah? Sir, are you asking about this woman? She seems to be our regular customer here; you can head to the receptionist and ask them.”
He narrowed his eyes as he listened to the security guard’s words.
That woman, I must’ve seen her before!
…
On this side, Ji Ziming was looking for Pei Ge regardless of whether it was his illusion or not.
On the other side, Gu Zhengrong and Egger were leaving the hotel and heading outside.
However, they did something that prevented the man from finding the woman before they left.
“Thank you for this time.”
As they arrived at the underground carpark, the former stopped walking and thanked the latter without much facial expression.
As much as he did not want to admit it, he could never smoothly change the hotel’s CCTV footage with his effort alone.
However, after seeing this dangerous man settle all the problems through one phone call, he became more guarded against him, and there were no other feelings.
“You don’t have to thank me. I did all these not for Pei Ge’s sake.” Having said this, his lips curled into an evil smile. “Of course, I’m doing it for myself, too.”
“…” He did not expect this man to be so honest without any bit of pretense.
Seeing him keeping quiet, Egger reached out and gently patted his shoulder. “You don’t expect this matter to be resolved so simply, do you?”
“What… do you mean?” Hearing his words, an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
“He he! Do you think Ji Ziming will give up so easily?” The other man curled his lips into a dangerous smile.
“He doesn’t need to find Pei Ge.” Gu Zhengrong raised an eyebrow.
“Just wait. He may soon come looking for you.” After speaking, the other no longer bothered with his reaction and walked straight out.
When he saw the man truly intending to leave, he quickly caught up to him.
“What are you trying to say?”
“Of course, you and your girlfriend must cut off all contact with Pei Ge. If not, Ji Ziming will follow this thought and find her.” The man smiled slightly at his anxious expression.
He quickly rejected this suggestion. “Impossible!”
“You’re a smart person. I believe that you understand what I’m trying to say.” The man shot him a glance and then got in his car without saying anything else. “I still have something on, so I’ll take my leave first. We shall contact each other again next time.”
He then drove off, leaving him standing there pensively.
When another car drove off after some time had passed, Gu Zhengrong finally regained his senses.
At this time, the man had completely disappeared from his sight.
“Completely cut off all contacts with Pei Ge…” he muttered silently, a complicated look appearing on his face.
“Finally managed to meet after much difficulty, so how could I give up so easily…”
The voice was filled with reluctance.
Still…
Slowly, the complicated look on his face was replaced by a chilly expression.
For her sake, he would definitely work hard.
Having made a decision finally, he took out his phone. He hesitated between calling Pei Ge or Tang Xiaoyu. In the end, he chose to call the latter.
“Hello! Why are you calling me? Are you trying to check on me? Let me tell you; I’m having sour fish soup with Ge Ge in Chinatown! Do you want to join us?”
The woman’s excited voice could be heard immediately once the call got through.
“Alright. I’ll arrive in a bit.”
Listening to the excited voice with a hint of laughter, his heart could no longer remain calm.
“Ah? Are you really coming over? It’s good if you come over so that you can help me dissuade Ge Ge. This stubborn mule, you don’t know how…”
