Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Another Assassin?
“Dong, dong, dong~”
A dull knocking sound arose.
Fang Xiaocao snapped to her senses and looked at the door.
She rose and approached the door.
“Who is it?”
Fang Xiaocao didn’t open the door imdiately but cautiously asked in a low voice.
...
With suspicions abound and unknown dangers everywhere, Fang Xiaocao did not want to capsize in the gutter and be taken out by an assassin.
“Princess Your Highness, it’s !”
Outside the room, a voice ca with a slightly exotic accent.
“Who are you?”
Fang Xiaocao blinked and asked with a smile.
Fang Xiaocao could recognize that the voice belonged to her dog, Tom the heaven dog.
But Fang Xiaocao still asked.
It was out of caution and partly in jest.
“Princess Your Highness, it’s your heaven dog!”
Outside the door, Tom replied.
“Oh~”
Fang Xiaocao responded and opened the door.
“Princess Your Highness!”
Seeing Fang Xiaocao, Tom said with a smile.
“Is everything taken care of?”
Fang Xiaocao asked with a smile.
“Reporting to Princess Your Highness, everything is taken care of.”
Tom answered respectfully.
“Good, there won’t be any loose ends, right?”
Fang Xiaocao asked with a frown.
“Rest assured, Princess, absolutely not.”
Tom answered confidently.
“Hmm, take this!”
Hearing this, Fang Xiaocao nodded, took out the keys to the Wuling Hongguang, and tossed them to Tom.
Tom, startled, quickly caught the keys with both hands.
“You’ll drive this car later and stay close to protect ,”
Fang Xiaocao instructed Tom.
“Yes, Princess Your Highness!”
Tom nodded in response.
“You know how to act like a bodyguard?”
Fang Xiaocao asked sternly.
“Yes, very much so,”
Tom replied with a grin.
“I’ll head downstairs first, you follow and protect without being noticed.”
Fang Xiaocao nodded and said gravely.
“No problem!”
Tom said confidently.
“Do you have WeChat?”
Fang Xiaocao asked.
Tom nodded and took out his phone.
Fang Xiaocao and Tom added each other on WeChat, and Tom also gave Fang Xiaocao a magnetic brooch the size of a button battery.
“What is this?”
Fang Xiaocao asked, puzzled.
“Reporting to Princess Your Highness, this is a locator that also features real-ti communication, video recording, and transmission capabilities.”
Tom answered respectfully.
Hearing this, Fang Xiaocao raised an eyebrow, exhibiting a curious expression, and asked with a smile, “How does this work?”
Tom imdiately started explaining how to use the magnetic brooch to Fang Xiaocao.
“Not bad, it’s a good thing.”
After following Tom’s demonstration, Fang Xiaocao nodded in satisfaction and pinned the magnetic brooch onto her clothes.
“I’ll head downstairs first, find a chance to follow.”
Fang Xiaocao told Tom and left the guest room.
She left the room card with Tom.
After all, she was not planning to stay in that room anymore.
Who knows if the assassin was only Tom? What if Zhi Qi had gone mad and sent many assassins to kill her?
Her renting a room in this hotel had already been exposed to Zhi Qi.
From Tom coming here to rig her car with a bomb, it was clear that Zhi Qi had already exposed all her location information.
So…
“Rather than leaving it empty, why not let Tom stay there?”
After all, Tom is an assassin, he shouldn’t be afraid of other assassins, right?
According to Tom himself, though he’s new to the profession, his skills are top-notch.
Fang Xiaocao felt it was necessary to verify whether Tom was an honest kid.
Taking the elevator down, she took out her phone and glanced at it, seeing several new WeChat ssages.
Fang Xiaocao unlocked her phone, opened WeChat, and checked the ssages.
All of them were from Zhi Qi urging her to co downstairs.
But Fang Xiaocao had a nagging question in her mind.
Why didn’t Zhi Qi…
ever ask for her room number, nor suggest coming up to see her?
This was very unusual.
With the Zhi Family’s influence in Tang City, it would be easy for Zhi Qi to find her room number; it was understandable that Zhi didn’t ask about it.
But why didn’t Zhi Qi co up?
Was there sothing dangerous upstairs?
Had Zhi Qi arranged for an assassin upstairs?
Was she avoiding suspicion?
That’s why she never ca upstairs?
But, she was already in the elevator.
And she hadn’t seen anyone else!
If Zhi Qi had really arranged for an assassin upstairs, where would the assassin hide?
Fang Xiaocao furrowed her brows in confusion.
The elevator had reached the third floor, and she was soon to be at the first.
Alarm bells went off in Fang Xiaocao’s mind.
She imdiately pressed the button for the second floor.
The elevator stopped on the second floor, and Fang Xiaocao imdiately exited and hid in the stairwell.
“Have you co down yet?”
Fang Xiaocao took out her phone and sent a WeChat ssage to Tom.
[Tom: Princess Your Highness, I am about to get on the elevator.]
“Get on the elevator now!”
Seeing Tom’s reply, Fang Xiaocao ordered.
[Tom: Yes!]
[Tom: Princess, I am on the elevator now.]
“Good, take care of yourself!”
Fang Xiaocao replied briefly, exited the chat with Tom, and opened Zhi Qi’s WeChat.
“I am on the elevator now!”
Fang Xiaocao composed a ssage and sent it to Zhi Qi.
[Zhi Qi: Alright, we are in the hotel lobby on the first floor, just co over.]
“Okay!”
Seeing Zhi Qi’s ssage, Fang Xiaocao replied.
Pocketing her phone, Fang Xiaocao glanced at the elevator, decisively took the ergency stairs, and headed towards the first floor.
“I want to see if there are any tricks.”
Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.
Upon reaching the first floor, Fang Xiaocao did not rush out of the stairwell, but waited for Tom’s elevator.
“Ding-dong!”
The elevator arrival chi at the first floor sounded.
Fang Xiaocao imdiately beca alert, her eyes fixated on the elevator doors.
At the sa ti, three people, under Fang Xiaocao’s watchful gaze, quickly moved toward the about-to-open elevator doors.
A janitor!
A white-collar beauty!
A security uncle!
“Could any of these three be assassins?”
Seeing this scene, Fang Xiaocao mused.
The elevator doors slowly opened, the janitor, the white-collar beauty, and the security uncle all rushed towards the opening doors, as if eager to go upstairs.
Watching this scene, Fang Xiaocao stared unblinkingly in the direction of the elevator.
As Tom set one foot out of the elevator, all three janitors suddenly moved, forcefully pushing Tom back inside.
“What the?”
“All three are assassins?”
Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao was shocked.
The elevator doors slowly closed, and through the closing gap, Fang Xiaocao could see Tom being firmly blocked by the three people.
However, Tom looked calm, and Fang Xiaocao could even see a hint of excitent in his eyes.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao felt sowhat relieved.
She pushed open the door of the stairwell and pretended to limp as she entered the lobby.
Now, Fang Xiaocao could hardly wait to see the expressions on Zhi Qi’s face when she saw her.
