The story unfolds in two places.
At the Ruyi Hotel, Bai Yanliang had just gathered some news.
"They are staying in room 406?"
"Yes, sir, another gentleman asked about it just now. Are you friends with him?"
Bai Yanliang nodded, "Sort of. May I ask... how long has it been since he left?"
The receptionist glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Almost an hour."
Almost an hour...
Damn.
Bai Yanliang thanked the receptionist and was about to leave when he noticed another female receptionist who was on the phone suddenly stand up, look around, and then shout, "Excuse me... is Mr. Xu, Miss Jiang, Mr. Bai, or Mr. Feng here?"
Bai Yanliang's heart skipped a beat. He walked over and said to her, "I am Bai Yanliang. Please give me the phone."
The receptionist quickly handed the phone to him, her gaze filled with doubt, since the call was from the police department.
"Hello?" Bai Yanliang answered the phone.
"Bai Yanliang?"
"That's me."
