Gan Yuan smiled in response and bid farewell to Qian Xueying, then walked out of the hospital room with Helen.
Descending the stairs and sitting in the car, she glanced sideways in the direction of Qian Xueying’s hospital room.
"Instruct them both to keep a 24-hour watch on her!"
Others might not understand Qian Xueying, but she knew exactly what kind of person this girl was.
This time, she had actually risked herself to block a knife for Huangfu Jue, which didn’t seem like something the real Qian Xueying would do.
She must have had some purpose in doing so; Gan Yuan just hadn’t figured out what it was yet. However, she believed Qian Xueying would eventually show her true colors.
"Miss Gan," Helen instructed the driver to start the car, glanced once at the hospital building, and asked, "You suspect Qian Xueying?"
"Don’t be fooled by her appearance," Gan Yuan said coldly with a smile, "The quietest dogs bite the hardest. This woman is not as simple as she appears."
Helen nodded, fell silent for a moment, then sat up straight, "By the way, there’s something I thought was not necessary before, but..."
Gan Yuan turned her face, "What is it?"
"Do you remember the room you barged into at the Empire Hotel before?" Helen asked.
She had been in a conflict with Moses, impulsively jumped out of the building, and landed in the room below Moses’s.
"At the time, you made such a mess of the room, I was worried it might be discovered by others, so I specially checked with housekeeping, and the records showed that the room was rented out by Miss Qian."
Gan Yuan frowned, "What was she doing staying there?"
Helen shrugged, "I’m not sure about that, but I contacted her afterward, and she just said she no longer needed that room."
"Did she stay alone, or did she bring someone?" Gan Yuan pressed further.
Helen shook her head; Duke Locke also held shares in the hotel, and now that Qian Xueying was in charge of these matters, Helen hadn’t paid much attention to them and, of course, wouldn’t have investigated so thoroughly.
Gan Yuan folded her arms and rested one hand under her chin, lost in thought.
With so many places to stay in the Duke Residence, Qian Xueying had no reason to rent a room there; she must have had some reason for going there.
One room above the other, separated by only one floor - among so many rooms, she chose just that one. Was it a coincidence?
In any case, it was best to check into it first.
It was a time of many complications; she had to be wary of everyone.
The last assassination attempt by Gan Tang hadn’t been cleared up; there had been many suspicions about Qian Xueying back then, but so much had happened in the past few days, Gan Yuan had not yet had a thorough discussion with Huangfu Jue.
Since Huangfu Jue had to go to Europe suddenly, she could only send someone to keep an eye on Qian Xueying, just in case.
"Call the hotel right now," Gan Yuan pondered for a moment before giving precise orders, "have them pull the video records for careful review. I want to know the exact dates of her stay, what times she was there each day, who she had brought along... every single detail."
"Understood." Helen immediately took out her phone and called the hotel housekeeping manager, passing on her instructions, "Remember, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential; do it yourself."
Although Helen didn’t understand the significance of Gan Yuan’s investigation, she could feel the importance placed on it and thus handled the matter with utmost discretion.
