"Fuck, don’t be so dirty-minded."
"I also think Team Leader Lin wouldn’t do that." Zhao Fangming said.
"Finally someone who can see straight."
"Team Leader Lin wouldn’t do that because our team leader’s size doesn’t match Team Leader Lin’s preferences."
"Fuck, I’ll kill you!"
The cheerful mood diluted the tension inside the car.
But the update from Xiao Bing pulled them all back to the main topic.
"Lin Bro, looks like their route is the Chief Hotel."
"Chief Hotel?"
Lin Yi muttered, "If I remember right, that’s supposed to be the most high-end hotel in the world."
"That’s right."
"You sure about the route?"
"The road they’re on now basically leads straight to the Chief Hotel," Xiao Bing said.
"Jianfeng and Brother Hu have already gone over ahead of time."
"Good, switch off on the tail so they don’t notice."
"Got it."
Lin Yi drove while taking out his phone to check the map.
The route he was on did in fact lead to the hotel.
"If they really go to the Chief Hotel, that’s a bit unexpected."
"Yeah."
Lin Yi slightly sped up and headed for the Chief Hotel.
About ten-plus minutes later, Lin Yi got a message from Zhao Yunhu.
"Boss, I saw his car stop at the hotel entrance."
"Don’t rush it, stay calm. Did he go to get a room?"
"Let me see, he already went in..."
Zhao Yunhu’s voice cut off for a few seconds.
"Boss, he went to the front desk, but it doesn’t look like he checked in. He directly picked up a room card. Mammon’s people must have booked the room for him in advance."
"Good. Figure out the room number and have Xiao Bing hack into the hotel’s CCTV system."
"Roger."
He hung up the comms.
Lin Yi stepped on the gas and quickly arrived at the Chief Hotel.
As the most luxurious hotel in the world, you instantly understood why they called it that the moment you stood here.
The overall style of the hotel was like a castle.
The first impression it gave was: obscenely rich.
Even the seven-star Sailboat Hotel looked a bit dim next to this place.
"What the hell are these people doing?"
Qiu Yuluo’s question was also Lin Yi’s question.
Their meet-up could’ve been outside the airport or some shady back alley.
But no, they actually came to the Chief Hotel; the whole scene felt off.
ZZZ—
Xiao Bing’s voice came through the earpiece.
"Boss, I’ve hacked into the hotel’s CCTV system. Zhang Jinquan went into 602, it’s an ocean-view room."
"That room was booked for him by someone else. Check who was in that room before; that person is likely the Mammon contact."
"Understood."
After arranging the follow-up, Lin Yi and the other three stayed waiting in the car.
"The more I think about it, the weirder it feels. It doesn’t look like he’s defecting to them at all; it feels more like he’s on vacation." Liu Xueyao said,
"Maybe our guess is wrong and he just escaped here on his own."
"I kind of feel that too," Zhao Fangming said.
"All the major organizations have stations here. He could just as well be going to any of them."
"I agree with Brother Ming. He’s already at F-level. In a big organization he might not be anything special, but in a small one he could still live the good life, never worry about food or drink. It’s not like we can really do anything to him either."
