Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Encounter with Shi Bao Again (Second Update)
"But, this figure..." The pretty receptionist suddenly seemed to remember something but wasn’t too sure.
Seeing her reaction, Lin Xi was basically certain that the two were in disguise.
For them, it was easy to change their facial features, but their figures were harder to disguise.
Moreover, the hunchbacked old man and Jade Fox had very distinctive figures, leaving a deep impression on others.
Lin Xi asked calmly, "Is it that their faces are different, but their figures are similar?"
"Yes." The pretty receptionist confirmed.
"Which room are they in?" Lin Xi pressed on.
This time, the pretty receptionist hesitated a bit, as this involved customer privacy. If she got a complaint later, she wouldn’t be able to continue working here.
"You don’t need to worry, these two are fugitives and extremely dangerous. If you tell me, it would be a great service, and not only will our police department thank you, but your hotel manager will also commend you." Lin Xi understood her hesitation and comforted her.
Upon hearing Lin Xi say this, the pretty receptionist was startled and no longer had any reservations, "They’re in 715."
"Alright, you can go back." Lin Xi nodded, also warning, "But to avoid alerting them, just act like you know nothing and don’t tell anyone about this!"
The pretty receptionist nodded repeatedly and quickly returned to the front desk. The girl beside her couldn’t help but ask secretly, but she didn’t glance sideways or say a word, looking as if she had been involved in a major event.
Lin Xi, who was about to return to Xu Hong and the others, couldn’t help but smile at this scene. The girl was quite amusing.
But the next moment, Lin Xi paused in his steps, his gaze landing on the hotel entrance, and he couldn’t help but murmur, "Aren’t those the people who chased Su Qiaoqiao last time?"
Later, Lin Xi understood from Zhou Yan that these were Su Qiaoqiao’s family, trying to take her back, not the bad people Su Qiaoqiao claimed wanted to capture her to sell.
Since the young lady was attacked by the hunchbacked old man and Jade Fox, Shi Bao had been tracking them, also putting a bounty on their heads, but until noon today, there was no news.
As he entered the hotel with three others, the lobby manager hurried over and whispered, "Brother Leopard, the two of them are in 716."
"Good, you’ve done well this time." Shi Bao nodded and headed straight for the elevator with his men, but as he noticed the lobby manager following, he frowned, "You don’t have to come up, just stay down here."
"Brother Leopard, I want to help." The lobby manager’s expression was resolute.
Shi Bao and the others had already reached the elevator. He shook his head and said, "Those two are extremely powerful. I’m not one hundred percent sure I can take them down, and you might just get in the way and put yourself in danger!"
"Ding!"
Once the elevator door opened, Shi Bao and his four men walked in without hesitation, while the lobby manager heeded Shi Bao’s advice and didn’t follow them up.
The hunchbacked old man and Jade Fox, resting in their room, had already returned to their original appearances.
"Should we leave Chuzhou City? I just can’t shake this uneasy feeling." The hunchbacked old man said, speaking this way for the first time in years.
Jade Fox looked out the window; despite his honest appearance, he was the one who made decisions, "We should indeed leave. Once we get the money from Celestial Alliance tonight, we’ll leave immediately."
They came to Chuzhou City for two jobs issued by the Celestial Alliance, but both times they encountered Lin Xi.
Remembering their first encounter, a chill ran down his spine as this person could defeat them within two or three moves, not just a regular King of Soldiers.
Such a person should be left for those three from the Celestial Alliance to handle.
But just then, their room door was suddenly kicked open, and Shi Bao and his four men walked in, emanating an aura of killing intent.
