On the other end of the phone, the square-faced man’s accomplice breathed heavily. When Ye Jian heard this, a faint light flashed past her eyes.
It was obvious that the other party didn’t act according to their expectations. Not only was he flustered, but his emotions were fluctuating too.
It was a good thing for her.
“The Grand Commissioner has high hopes for us. If we don’t even know how to put out the fire, how will we answer to the Grand Commissioner? We didn’t do anything well. Mr. Charlie will not contact the Grand Commissioner for us.”
The man on the other end of the phone was obviously anxious. He seemed to be about to break something. “Damn it. If we really can’t do it, we can just set the fire at 1:00 AM. Who cares if the director-general has checked in or not! Let’s set the fire first.”
They will set a fire in the hotel at one o’clock in the morning. Mr. Charlie and the Grand Commissioner…, Ye Jian caught the keywords and immediately realized that the square-faced man and the man on the other side of the phone could contact the main target, the Grand Commissioner, through a man called “Charlie.”
In that case, these people were all small characters.
Small people had their own merits too. They were timid, afraid, and easily frightened. Let’s find Mr. Charlie first.
“That’s fine too. We just need to set the place on fire! All right, cut the crap. I’ll come up and look for you.” Ye Jian remembered the square-faced man’s accent. He had a Guilin accent, so Ye Jian’s voice had a Guilin accent.
In her past life, Ye Jian was forced by Ye Ying to the point that she didn’t have a fixed home in the country. She lived in Guilin for two months too. At this moment, it really helped her a lot.
“Come up first. I’ll pick you up at the elevator.” On the other side of the phone, the square-faced man’s partner clearly didn’t have many ideas. He raised his hand and pulled the curtain again to look at the hotel. Seeing that no cars were driving in, he said, “Come up first. Hurry!”
She needed to know which elevator it was. Ye Jian asked calmly, “Okay, which elevator should I take?”
“The elevator on the fifth floor. Hurry up.” The man didn’t suspect anything and signaled his’ partner to come up as soon as possible. It was already so late, and the target hadn’t come up. He didn’t know what to do.
That meant that they were on the fifth floor. Ye Jian easily got the information from him and turned the square-faced man’s phone to silent mode. She walked out of the washroom and walked towards the fifth floor calmly. After a while, she pretended to be nervous and called the other party. “You better not come to the elevator to wait for me. I don’t know why but I’m extremely anxious. Leave a gap in the door, and I’ll go to my room to look for you. Don’t hang up your phone. If there’s anything, we can contact each other immediately.”
With the same voice as the square-faced man, Ye Jian went up to the fifth floor. She didn’t look at the gap in the room on the left. Instead, she looked at the room on the right.
The man had mentioned that he didn’t see any cars driving into the hotel, which meant that their observation spot was facing the hotel road. In addition, the other party was timid, afraid of trouble, and impulsive. Besides observing in his room, she didn’t know where else he would go.
She asked him to leave a crack in the door. This was a test to see if he was in the room. The other party didn’t reject her but agreed readily. Ye Jian only confirmed that the other party was in the room after asking this question.
