“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…”
