Chapter 1745 - 1745 Acquaintance
1745 Acquaintance
After putting on the mask, Han Rui had effectively changed his appearance.
With this new face, he was more confident in moving about outdoors, since no one could recognize him.
In addition to changing his face, he used shoe lifts to increase his height.
He also appeared much thinner than before.
He looked completely different now, and even his closest family members and teammates wouldn’t be able to recognize him.
As a result, he acted naturally and confidently as if he were just visiting a friend when he entered the hotel.
However, as soon as he arrived, he saw someone he knew, which surprised him.
The man was not his teammate, but a member of the Han family.
Although Han Rui bore the surname Han and had some connections to the ancient martial arts family, which was the Han family of the imperial city, his father was from a side branch and had always kept a distance from the main family.
Therefore, Han Rui did not have true relations with the main family.
During his childhood, he used to accompany his father to the main residence of the Han family several times and had gotten to know some of the people there.
Despite not having a good relationship with them, he had an excellent memory, and had memorized their faces after seeing them just twice.
This person was one of the members of the Han family, and according to his rank, he was probably Han Rui’s uncle.
The man’s brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Han Rui didn’t think too much of it when he saw him, since this was a hotel after all. It was pretty normal to run into acquaintances here.
Not having given it much thought, Han Rui followed him into the elevator.
The man was constantly checking his phone and seemed very anxious.
Han Rui glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, then lowered his head to avoid catching his attention.
After a while, the elevator stopped on the twelfth floor.
The man walked out, and Han Rui followed suit.
He didn’t think much of it, assuming it was a coincidence, since there were many rooms on this floor.
However, he was surprised to find himself following the man more and more closely.
The man had a clear goal and was walking quickly before stopping at a room door.
At the same time, he looked carefully around him.
Han Rui kept walking calmly past him.
The man didn’t notice anything suspicious around him and didn’t pay much attention to Han Rui either.
Then, he began knocking on the door with a specific rhythm- three long beats followed by a short one. He repeated it twice.
Han Rui’s heart skipped a beat, but he continued walking steadily forward.
Soon, the door opened, and the man walked inside.
At that moment, Han Rui slapped his forehead and muttered to himself, “Damn it! This isn’t the right floor! I messed it up, what a fool!”
He cursed himself quietly and turned around to leave.
The man and the person inside the room both glanced at Han Rui, but his ordinary appearance didn’t raise any suspicion.
As Han Rui walked away, he slapped his forehead and swung one hand as if it were unintentional.
Then, a small inconspicuous object followed the man’s footsteps into the room.
The door closed, and Han Rui walked on.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, the room door opened again.
A head stuck out.
Seeing Han Rui enter the elevator, the person shrank back and closed the door.
After a while, however, the door quickly opened again.
Seeing that there was no one outside, the person in the room finally relaxed.
After closing the door, they began discussing the matter at hand.
Little did they know, their conversation was being wiretapped by Xia Xibei.
