Mu Xiaoxiao cupped a hand over her mouth in disbelief before rubbing her eyes forcefully, wondering if she was hallucinating.
She pointed at the man in the feed and looked at Yin Shaojie in shock. “Is this… Is this person Ye Sijue? I haven’t identified him wrongly, have I?”
Even Yin Shaojie was shocked. He replied, “Yes, it’s him. How does he know your friend?”
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. “How am I supposed to know!”
Who am I supposed to ask if you ask me?
Shouldn’t she be the one who was more curious to find out the answer?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the screen. Ye Sijue had handed the key card to the front desk as though he was doing the paperwork to check Mo Xiaomeng out. Mo Xiaomeng, on the other hand, looked stunned, as though she hadn’t processed what had happened, and could only follow Ye Sijue wherever he commanded.
After checking her out, Ye Sijue dragged Mo Xiaomeng out of the hotel.
The pair disappeared from the surveillance feed.
Yin Shaojie told the hotel employee, “Show us the feed of the entrance.”
After ten seconds, the feed of the entrance showed up on the screen, and they saw Mo Xiaomeng get into Ye Sijue’s car.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes were wide again. “C-Could it be that…”
Annie had been brought away by Ye Sijue?
That was why she hadn’t checked in to any other hotel.
Now that they knew where Annie was, Yin Shaojie held Mu Xiaoxiao’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”
“Are we going to look for Sijue?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Yin Shaojie said, “Hang on. There’s something we still have to do.”
“What is it?” Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
The manager followed them out respectfully to see them off.
However, when they arrived at the lobby of the hotel, Yin Shaojie suddenly stopped, and his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings.
“What’s the matter?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.
Shouldn’t they be rushing to look for Ye Sijue now that they knew that Annie had been brought away by Ye Sijue?
“Oh yeah, should we call Sijue and ask him about it first? If not, if we rushed to his house so suddenly, it might be a little…”
Before she could finish her words, a new situation appeared in front of them.
A man clad in black was hauling a battered-looking man to Yin Shaojie, and threw him down onto the floor in front of him.
“Young master, this is the man.”
Yin Shaojie regarded the man on the floor icily. “Who sent you to follow me?” he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Someone had been following them?
It was only then that she peered closely at the man on the floor and found the camera around his neck.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s heart jolted and she couldn’t help but recall something.
When she had been kidnapped by Han Xue’er, the photos that the girl had shown her were all secret shots of her and Yin Shaojie together.
Could it be that… this man was the one who took the photos?
With an innocent expression on his face, the man said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I wasn’t following you at all! I was only taking photos around the area. I really wasn’t following you; you can’t casually accuse me of wrongdoing like that!”
Yin Shaojie sneered coldly. He had already felt that something was off from the time they were at the Japanese restaurant.
After they had arrived at the hotel, he realized that there was a car which had followed them here, and had even seen the flash of a camera through his peripheral vision.
Yin Shaojie gave a look to his bodyguard.
The bodyguard snatched the man’s camera away and looked through the photos inside.
Alarmed, the man shouted anxiously, “Why did you take my camera away! It’s expensive! Hurry up and give it back!”
The bodyguard looked through it twice before walking over to Yin Shaojie. “There’s nothing inside.”
