Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Han Xue: Exposed?
“Report, the suspect has entered the stairwell, fleeing towards the fourth floor.”
As Wang Qiang burst out of the surveillance room, the report from his team member came through the walkie-talkie.
“Those in the elevator, split into four groups!”
“One group to exit on the fourth floor to support the pursuit team, the other three groups to go up from the fourth floor, exiting one group per floor, to encircle the suspect from above.”
Wang Qiang made a snap decision, remotely directing all the criminal detectives involved in the capture operation through the walkie-talkie.
The surveillance room was on the seventh floor of the hotel, and instead of taking the elevator, Wang Qiang chose to go down the stairs directly to encircle and intercept the fleeing assassin.
This assassin was also very cunning.
He had been lurking in the hotel for so long, never showing his face in front of the surveillance cameras, clearly possessing a strong sense of counter-surveillance.
Moreover, he had scouted the location beforehand, learning the positions of all the surveillance cameras and the blind spots in their coverage in detail.
If the detective responsible for the sweep hadn’t been alert enough to see through his disguise, he might have slipped by undetected.
The hotel, seemingly serene, was actually undercurrents raging in secret, a perilous game played by various parties.
Han Xue, wearing high heels, sashaying her slender waist, with a shopping bag in hand, gracefully entered the hotel lobby.
With her keen senses, she immediately sensed the tense atmosphere that permeated the hotel.
Her eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, swiftly scanned the surroundings.
She speculated to herself what might have happened in the hotel during the time she was away.
Pretending to be nonchalant, she took out her phone from her bag and slowly sat down in the hotel lobby’s lounge area.
She dialed Axi’s number.
“Dudu~”
The phone rang twice before it was answered.
Axi’s voice came through the phone’s receiver, “Hello, what’s up?”
“Honey~”
“How’s the weather over there?” Han Xue asked with a sickeningly sweet inflection in her laughter.
Upon hearing this, Axi on the other end of the phone paused, then quickly realized what was happening, and swiftly pulled out the handgun from his waist, tiptoed to the door of the room, and pressed his ear against it, listening to any sounds in the corridor.
“Darling~”
“I’ve arrived. The weather isn’t too good here, how about over there?” Han Xue asked again through the phone.
Upon hearing this, Axi didn’t rush to reply.
Instead, he continued to listen carefully to the noises in the hallway.
Hotel lobby!
Han Xue, sitting on the couch in the lounge area, not receiving a reply from Axi for a long time, immediately felt an alarm going off in her heart, as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
Her beautiful eyes behind the sunglasses looked around restlessly.
In the lobby, she was vigilant to any sign of movement, not missing a thing.
It didn’t take long before she spotted a familiar face.
It was Officer Xiaoli, the little girl who had escorted her to the hospital for a blood test alongside Wang Qiang!
Seeing Officer Xiaoli, Han Xue felt her heart tighten.
Her first instinct was to run away.
Thinking that Officer Xiaoli was there to arrest her.
But soon, Han Xue regained her composure.
“They shouldn’t be here for me.”
“If they had my location and disguise, they wouldn’t be in undercover attire anymore.”
“They would have arrested me right as I entered the door, so how could they still allow me the chance to make a phone call?” Han Xue calculated in her mind.
Following Officer Xiaoli’s lead, Han Xue began to look around.
It wasn’t long before she identified another familiar face.
This person, disguised as a security guard, was one of the police officers who had initially escorted her.
“It seems something has indeed happened in the hotel,” Han Xue murmured to herself.
“Qingtian!”
Just then, she heard Axi’s suppressed voice over the phone.
“Whew~”
Hearing Axi’s voice, Han Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
“Indeed, they’re not here for us.”
Han Xue muttered to herself and said:
“That’s good, my son is hungry, I just went out to buy him some food, got tired from walking, and rested in the hotel lobby for a while.”
Axi in the guest room breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
“There was trouble in the hotel lobby, cops are there.”
Axi muttered to himself, put away his gun, and went back to the bedside.
“No problems upstairs!”
Axi responded.
“Don’t worry, they won’t starve their son~”
“I’m coming up, going to feed your son.”
In the hotel lobby, Han Xue said with a charming laugh.
As she spoke, Han Xue got up, picked up the shopping bag in her hand, and slowly walked towards the elevator.
Watching Han Xue’s retreating figure, Officer Xiaoli pressed the communication button on his collar and whispered, “Team leader, the woman from room 512 is back, carrying a shopping bag, she must have gone out to shop. She took a rest in the hotel lobby, made a phone call, and then went upstairs.”
“Received!”
“Be careful not to expose yourself.”
Officer Xiaoli’s earpiece transmitted Wang Qiang’s voice.
“Received!”
Officer Xiaoli whispered in response and ended the call.
What Officer Xiaoli didn’t know was that her every move was being watchfully observed by Han Xue, who, while waiting for the elevator and pretending to touch up her makeup, saw everything through her compact mirror.
“It was indeed you!”
Han Xue muttered to herself, closed her compact mirror, and entered the elevator.
“Oh, don’t worry, I won’t let your son starve.”
“I’ve reached the floor, just about to enter the room.”
The elevator stopped at the fifth floor, and Han Xue stepped out, while talking on the phone, she observed the movements in the hallway.
With her keen powers of observation, Han Xue quickly noticed someone moving in the stairwell.
“Is it the police?”
Han Xue muttered to herself.
“Fang Xiaocao is in 508!”
Over the phone, Axi’s voice came through.
“Hmm?”
Upon hearing this, Han Xue was taken aback.
Immediately, Han Xue regained her composure.
While swaying her hips and walking down the hotel corridor towards room 512, she said in a cheerful voice, “This hotel isn’t bad, the business is good, all the rooms are filled, your son won’t be mistreated.”
Axi inside room 512 became tense again upon hearing this, drawing his gun from his waist and turning off the safety.
“Are there cops on the fifth floor?”
Axi whispered.
“Mhm, don’t worry~”
“I won’t save money for you~”
Han Xue said coquettishly.
Axi quietly moved to the door of the guest room, pressed against the side of the door, ready for combat.
“Hope they’re not here to catch us!”
Axi said softly.
“Don’t worry, I’ve arrived, gotta hang up now.”
Han Xue said, and hung up the phone.
Pretending to search through her bag for the room card.
In reality, she was secretly clutching a small device similar to a car remote in her hand.
Han Xue picked up the room card, revealing a section of a black rubber tube in her bag.
Han Xue closed her bag nonchalantly and used the room card to unlock room 512.
With a “beep beep,” the lock of room 512 opened.
At the same time, Han Xue tensed up, her finger resting on the button of the remote in her hand.
After pausing a few seconds at the door, Han Xue’s peripheral vision under her sunglasses remained fixed on the direction of the stairwell.
Seeing that the person in the stairwell didn’t seem to rush out, Han Xue finally relaxed, threw the room card back into her bag, and pushed open the door.
Seeing Axi crouching at the door, holding a gun, Han Xue subtly nodded at him.
What do you think?
