The receptionist gave him a curious look and searched on the computer for a while. He looked up and replied politely, "Sir, there is only one room left on the seventh floor with a back window. The location is not very good. Since it's against the lift, it can be a little noisy!"
"Great, I just like living next to the lift. I'll take that one!" Li Mu said as he handed over his ID card and bank card together.
"Sir, may I ask how many days you want to stay?"
"One night. I'll leave tomorrow!"
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
The receptionist quickly completed the procedures and gave back Li Mu his ID card along with his room card, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Sir. Your room number is 701. It's the first one on the right out of the lift!"
Li Mu thanked her, took the room card and walked towards the lift.
After exiting the lift, he opened room 701 straight away, closed the door first and looked out through the peephole right away. It was a very good position to observe two lifts very clearly.
He then went back over to the window and looked down. It was positioned directly opposite the car park and enabled him to monitor the incoming as well as outgoing cars at a glance.
He looked at his watch and surmised that the indecent pair should not have returned to the hotel at such a high pace, as only twenty minutes had passed.
He went to the supermarket downstairs, bought two boxes of cigarettes and a few drinks, packed them in a shopping bag and went back to his room.
Li Mu leaned on the windowsill. He drank some drinks to refresh himself, then tore open the cigarette packet wrapper, lit a cigarette and sat there waiting for that indecent pair.
Ding-ding! A beep came from his mobile phone. Li Mu looked down and couldn't help but complain.
It turned out to be a low battery warning, reminding him that the battery was already less than 20%.
From last night until now, he had not thought of charging his phone, and now the charger was still in his luggage, which he had thrown to Fang Qiang. Things became daunting!
Audio and video recording are very power-consuming. It was impossible to record something with this little amount of battery power. Perhaps, he would be able to do nothing but just watch them aside when he caught them in bed.
Li Mu called the front desk hurriedly to borrow a charging cable. The receptionist replied politely, "Sorry, sir, but we have lent out all the charging cables. Please wait and we will inform you when they are returned."
Putting the phone down, Li Mu was so annoyed that he wanted to slap himself. How could he forget to carry such an important thing? How could he catch adultery red-handed without his phone?
When he was struggling, his unlucky phone rang again because someone was putting a call in.
Li Mu was so angry that he almost smashed his phone. He thought to himself, "Who is that? You have got me into a fix. Don't you know that my phone is running out of battery?" He looked at the screen. It was He Xiaoyu.
At the moment he was just about to reject the call, he immediately thought of something. That girl was almost exactly the same as Lin Wan in terms of stubbornness. It might even say that she went farther than Lin Wan.
If you refused to answer her call, she would keep on calling endlessly until the remaining battery was consumed.
Li Mu thought, "Forget it. I'd better answer it and try to keep the conversation short, so I can save some battery power."
"You're back?" Li Mu asked directly.
"I just left the airport. Where are you? I'm coming to get you!" answered He Xiaoyu.
Li Mu subconsciously decided to refuse her. But after the second thought, he realized that Xiaoyu must have a charger. The airport was not far from here. Why not let her rush over? Maybe there was still time to charge his phone.
"Room 701 of the Fuhao Hotel. Bring your charger. My phone is running out of battery."
"Have you eaten yet?" He Xiaoyu asked.
"I don't want to eat. Come over quickly. By the way, try to find some excuses if you run into Lin Wan in the hotel!" Li Mu replied.
"Got it. See you later!" said He Xiaoyu.
In room 701, Li Mu continued to smoke and monitor the parking lot.About forty minutes later, there was a knock on the door and He Xiaoyu yelled outside, "Open the door. It's me!"Li Mu ran over and opened the door. He immediately ran to the window to continue his surveillance, not waiting for He Xiaoyu to come in.He Xiaoyu walked into the room, closed the door, turned on the exhaust fan and said with a frown, "You need to smoke less. You're almost invisible in such a smoky room.""Charge my phone!" said Li Mu.He dumped his phone on the bed and continued to stare at the car park.He Xiaoyu charged his phone, walked over to him and asked, "What are you looking at?""They were driving Lin Wan's car and I was waiting for her.""Are you sure they will come?""Not sure, but what I can ensure is that she was out all night yesterday, staying with a man here."
"What are you looking at?" He Xiaoyu whispered."Three possible floors, the 7th, 9th, and 15th. I have to make sure which floor they are.""Li Mu, what if she really has affair with other men?"He Xiaoyu walked behind Li Mu and asked the question she was most concerned about."Humph. Divorce!" Li Mu answered without thinking."Yes! Why continue living with such a whore? Divorce her. I agree with you!"He Xiaoyu seemed quite happy to hear Li Mu's words.Li Mu didn't say anything, just staring at the elevator.After a while, one elevator started to run. It stopped on the 1st floor before rising steadily and stopping on the 4th, 9th, and 17th floor respectively. Finally, it stopped on the 17th floor."I see. They are on the 9th floor!" Li Mu said affirmatively."Let's go!" He Xiaoyu said immediately."Don't hurry. They won't be that quick
After a while, a man answered from the room, "What's the matter?""Sir, we serve customers free fruit today. Please open the door to accept your fruit." He Xiaoyu lied without hesitation.The man said impatiently after a few seconds of silence, "Take it away. I don't need it."He Xiaoyu looked at Li Mu helplessly. Li Mu smiled and said unhurriedly, "Lin Wan, I am Li Mu. Are you naked now? To be honest, I am here to catch your adultery red-handed. Open the door before I count to three. Otherwise, just wait for the divorce agreement."Then he began to count immediately. By the time he counted to two, the door was slammed open and Lin Wan, neatly dressed, rushed out."You put on your clothes so fast. Awesome!" He Xiaoyu mocked her maliciously."You, you talk rot!" Lin Wan said angrily.Li Mu pushed her aside and was about to walk into the room.Lin Wan pulled him behind, "What
The room was crowded with the noises and the sound of fighting, which finally alarmed the hotel security. A few big guys rushed in and forced the two men who were still fighting to be separated.Li Mu breathed fiercely with his clothes in a mess and blood on the corner of his mouth. He still looked like an indignant air.But Lin Kun was in a much worse situation, with a bloody nose and a swollen face. His whole face was covered in bruises, which made it hard to recognize him.Even worse, his nose was broken by Li Mu and exaggeratedly bent to one side.A security guard who looked like their leader asked, "Sir, do you need an ambulance?""No need!" Lin Kun muttered. He covered his nose with his hands and fiercely twisted it with a crunching sound. And when he loosened his hands, the nasal bone was already in place with blood flowing rapidly out of his nose."Sh*t! He is capable of doing such a thing t
He Xiaoyu saw Lin Wan's saddened expression.She shrugged and said with a relaxed expression, "Don't get me wrong. I just got here. I came here to help my senior fellow get your adultery evidence. Nothing happened between us. I'm not like you. I am unwilling to sleep casually with a man.""That's just bullsh*t. I didn't do anything unfaithful to my husband either. You mustn't drive a wedge between us. What are you trying to get from this? Don't you think I don't know? I've never done anything wrong to hurt others. I've done all things with a clear conscience!" Lin Wan exclaimed."Keep lying. May I ask where and with whom did you sleep last night?""I live in room 908 with Mrs. Hong, and Lin Kun lives in room 1516 alone. If you don't believe it, you can go to the front desk to check!"After finishing speaking, Lin Wan looked at her husband Li Mu. These words were apparently said for him.Li Mu frowne
In the end, they chose to drive Fang Qiang's car.Li Mu couldn't identify the reasons, but indeed he began to dislike the red Toyota.He Xiaoyu triumphantly got in the front passenger seat first and looked happy.Lin Wan bit her lip and sat silently in the back seat. She turned her face and looked out of the car window, looking preoccupied.Li Mu ignored her feelings because he thought there were still many doubts, for example, why she lied and why she turned off GPS.If Lin Kun were really her relative, why did she hide the truth from him? Was her relative too stigmatized to be presented to others?Li Mu didn't believe Lin Wan's explanation at all.He thought that Lin Wan was still lying and concealing the truth. She hoped that he could trust her. But shouldn't the basis of mutual trust be honest with each other?How could a woman full of lies be qualified to be trusted by
After hanging up the call, Li Mu continued driving. And Lin Wan asked him with some displeasure, "It's Fang Qiang, right?""Yes.""Did you tell him about it as well?"Li Mu glanced at the rearview mirror and replied with an expressionless face, "Yes!""You!" Lin Wan sat up straight, "Why are you telling them everything? Is it necessary to let them know about the misunderstanding between the two of us?""They're my best friends, ok? When I don't know what to do, who else can I count on except for them?""Why don't you come to me and ask me for clarification?""Come to you? Are you at home then? Will you tell me the truth?"Lin Wan got silent for a moment, and spoke in an injured voice, "I did lie to you. It's my fault. Honey, I'm sorry. But I did that for a reason.""Okay. Tell me the reason when we arrive home instead of continuing to deceive me. Xiaoyu is righ
Lin Wan’s analysis was right. Before this happened, Xiaoyu almost let go of Li Mu. After all, there were tons of other nice men out there. She did not want to become the other woman.Although she felt reluctant, he was a married man. She could become friends with him, but she should not develop any affectionate feelings for him.However, Lin Wan’s behavior made Xiaoyu have second thoughts. Since Lin Wan did not appreciate Li Mu, why couldn’t she take him away from Lin Wan?In the past, she thought this way of thinking was immoral, but now, it seemed pretty reasonable!How could Lin Wan cheat on Li Mu yet at the same time expect him to be loyal to her? Who did she think she was?Since Lin Wan could not stay faithful, Xiaoyu thought she should let go of Li Mu as soon as possible.Hence, she decided to not give up on this opportunity. Not only did she want to help Li Mu escape from a bad marriage, but
