Chapter 256: Chapter 256 - A Bold Speculation

Chapter 256: A Bold Speculation

Ai Li got the answer soon after . She shook her head, “No criminal records . ”

They had their own sources to determine if anyone had any criminal records, but not their whole history . They would have to hack into the national network, which was a crime .

“He looked at me weird,” Yun Xiangxiang locked eyes with the man outside for a moment .

She knew she was attractive . Anyone who saw her would be surprised, but rather than being pensive . The man had his guard up .

She noticed that he was leaning against the wall until she appeared . He quickly straightened himself . He was subconsciously getting his guard up .

Xiangxiang was just a girl . If he was on guard duty, he should be a mentally strong person . It was apparent that her looks didn’t seduce him .

Someone like that shouldn’t be fazed by anyone walking by . They should have expected it .

So why did Xiangxiang’s appearance make him react that way?

The answer? It was because Xiangxiang was an unexpected variable . He might have seen her before . That was why he got his guard up because he was seen by someone he might know .

Xiangxiang deduced one thing from that: What they were doing wasn’t for everyone’s eyes .

She wasn’t living in a five-star hotel, but since the crew and company couldn’t mistreat her, it wasn’t a dingy motel either .

Everything was just her guess . They couldn’t be used as evidence . If she called the cops and they failed to find any dirt, she would be in trouble . The haters would use this as ammo to attack her .

“He went in,” Ai Li reminded Xiangxiang, who was deep in her thoughts .

The CCTV in the corridor saw him entering the house and coming back out with two other men .

“Yi Yan’s back,” Ai Li pointed at the elevator . Yi Yan, his agent, and his assistant brushed past them .

The trio didn’t react to their appearance . They didn’t know Yi Yan .

“They don’t know Brother Yi, but they find me familiar…,” Xiangxiang thought about its reason .

She was more popular than Yi Yan, but she wasn’t always on TV . Dramas would be there all year long, but not films .

Their gazes were sharp, their air oppressive . They were not your average Joes .

Civilians wouldn’t look around themselves wherever they went . And these men were too cautious .

They were unlikely to see her on TV .

“They went down,” Ai Li followed them using the hotel’s CCTV .

Xiangxiang noticed Lu Jing was still standing outside the elevator . He must still be worried . Lu Jin was a famous actor, yet the trio didn’t react to even him .

Lu Jin looked at them quizzically . One of them felt his gaze and turned back to look calmly .

Lu Jin was a much more famous actor than she was . She appeared with him in a recent show, and yet they recognised her, but not Lu Jin .

In other words, they had never seen, “A Gathering of Shows . ”

Which meant they didn’t know her through TV .

Then they could only know her through the news . But if they read entertainment news, they wouldn’t miss Lu Jin .

Aside from the entertainment section, she only appeared throughout the internet two years ago about her results . They wouldn’t read news like that .

Only one story was left . The news about her possession of the black jadeite . People would kill for that .

Xiangxiang made a bold guess . These guys were probably jewelry thieves!

When this thought popped into her mind, her heart pounded .

This was her uncorroborated guess, but the more she thought about it, the likelier it seemed .

If they were criminals, were they mere burglars, or were they robbers . If they were the latter, they might be armed .

Someone pressed the doorbell . Yun Xiangxiang jumped . Ai Li said, “It’s Yi Yan . ”

Yi Yan brought something over . Ai Li opened the door . Yi Yan brought a basket of cherries . “I got a cherry tree back home, so my mom sent me a basket of cherries . Here, take it . It’s fresh . ”

“Thank you, Brother Yi . ” Xiangxiang took it .

“You don’t look good . What happened?” Yi Tan noticed that something felt off .

“It’s nothing . Just had some unhappy thoughts,” Yun Xiangxiang hid it from him .

She wasn’t sure about her guess . If she was wrong, it would be awkward if she told Yi Yan, even if he wasn’t an outsider .

But if she was right, they might pounce on him if he showed that he knew about them .

If they were criminals and stayed here, they might have gotten what they wanted and were ready to sell it .

Or they might be waiting for an opportunity to steal what they wanted . No matter the case, it was unlikely that anyone would die .

Since they were different from wanted fugitives, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t tell Yi Yan about them .

It was getting late . Staying in her room wouldn’t be too good . Yi Yan chatted for a while longer and went back to his room .

“Brother Yi’s room is next to theirs,” Xiangxiang saw it through CCTV .

“I can eavesdrop if you want,” the hotel’s soundproofing wasn’t great . If a wall was the only thing between them, Ai Li could easily eavesdrop on them .

“No,” Yun Xiangxiang denied the idea . It would alert them, and she despised this kind of behavior .

Through the camera, Yun Xiangxiang knew that Lu Jin had left . Since everyone had left, he probably thought it was inappropriate to disturb her .

Xiangxiang sent a message to Han Zhaolin .

[I saw some suspicious men near where I’m staying, but it’s just my feeling . ]

Yun Xiangxiang sent her location and the clearest pictures she had of them to him .

She left out her suspicions about them being criminals . Uncorroborated conclusions could mislead him .

As Zhaolin was tasked to keep her safe, he would investigate the matter now that he heard the story and had the pictures .

Yun Xiangxiang then went to wash herself up . She left this out of her call with Song Mian .

Talking about it would just make him nervous . Zhaolin wouldn’t hide it from him if he found anything about it .

Yun Xiangxiang went to sleep after the call . Troubled by the events earlier, she couldn’t sleep well and picked up the faint sound of footsteps outside in the corridor .

Yun Xiangxiang sat up and went to look at the camera footage .
