"That, what I just said is true. I was afraid you wouldn't believe me, so..."
A person was rendered speechless.
"Location, information."
Li Zhonglou was too lazy to bother with her anymore.
Fang En seemed to have truly become obedient, answering all of Li Zhonglou's questions without missing a word.
However, their truthfulness was another matter entirely.
Li Zhonglou, still uneasy, thought that this person's acting skills might be naturally good, and anything she said that hadn't been verified should be met with disbelief.
Therefore, the best course of action was to have someone keep an eye on her. The first person Li Zhonglou thought of was Hei Dao; only he was free at the moment.
With that in mind, Li Zhonglou immediately took out his phone and called Hei Dao.
As expected, upon hearing that Li Zhonglou needed help, Hei Dao agreed without a second thought.
"Alright, I'll send you the address shortly. Get here now, as soon as possible."
After hanging up, Li Zhonglou was about to reconfirm with Fang En when a knock came from outside the room door.
"Who?"
Li Zhonglou called out in confusion. It shouldn't be anyone knocking at this hour.
"Open up! Room check!"
The sudden stern voice made both of them in the room freeze.
Damn, could they be this unlucky?
Li Zhonglou glanced at Fang En. Dressed in a professional outfit, she looked incredibly sexy, appearing quite convincing...
The key issue was that only Li Zhonglou's identity information was registered when booking the room. If they were to truly inspect it, it would be a significant problem.
However, there was no other choice. With people already outside, they could only explain.
Li Zhonglou sighed. Before opening the door, he quietly warned Fang En.
"Don't try anything funny. You know my abilities."
Deliberately emitting a bit more of his killing aura, Fang En instantly felt like she had fallen into an icy wasteland. The overwhelming fear made her nod repeatedly.
Li Zhonglou then walked over and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, he froze.
"Why are you here?"
Li Zhonglou was stunned. Standing before him were not only the man who had spoken earlier but also several police officers in uniform, and one of them was Lin Qianqian...
The previous sentence was Lin Qianqian's spontaneous exclamation.
At this point, the police officer who had spoken earlier continued, "Hello sir, this is a routine room check. Please cooperate."
As if fearing Li Zhonglou might conceal something, the man pushed him aside and walked in.
Li Zhonglou did not resist, standing there with his brows furrowed.
Lin Qianqian was also at a loss.
She thought their last encounter was awkward enough, but this one was even more so...
They met in a hotel, and moreover...
Lin Qianqian subtly glanced sideways and saw Fang En sitting on the bed inside, dressed in a sexy professional outfit. Her expression became complicated.
Is this really what all men like?
Meanwhile, the police officer who had entered began questioning Fang En. Upon learning that Fang En had no identification to prove her identity, he immediately suspected her of being a prostitute.
"Please cooperate and stand there with your hands behind your back!"
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the other two officers moved to detain Li Zhonglou.
Li Zhonglou sighed and said, "We're not like that."
"Not?"
A police officer sneered. He had seen plenty of people like this. Whenever caught in wrongdoing, their first reaction was to deny soliciting prostitution. Often, they would even collude with friends beforehand, but for their experienced officers, all these were but fragile deceptions.
"Since you say you're not, let me ask you first, what's her name."
"Age."
"..."
The police officer's sneer intensified.
"What, you don't know her age?"
Li Zhonglou was speechless, but it was indeed true that he didn't know. He only knew Fang En's name.
"You don't even know the other person's age, and you dare call yourselves friends?"
Li Zhonglou shook his head and said, "I never said we were friends."
These words completely confused the police officers.
"So, you admit it?"
Li Zhonglou frowned and shook his head again. "I haven't admitted to anything. We are indeed not friends; I was just looking for her to ask some questions here."
"Ask questions? Do you need to book a room to ask questions? Do you take me for a three-year-old?"
The police officer felt insulted, but Li Zhonglou ignored him and cast his gaze toward Lin Qianqian.
"You should know, I'm not that kind of person."
Lin Qianqian remained silent for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't know what kind of person you are."
Li Zhonglou's brow furrowed even deeper.
At this moment, the police officers exchanged glances. The one who had been speaking the loudest cautiously approached Lin Qianqian and whispered, "Director Lin, is he your friend?"
Lin Qianqian nodded. For some reason, she didn't deny the word "friend."
However, she added later.
"Handle this by the book."
The police officers exchanged glances again. The officer who had been questioning Fang En suddenly asked her, "Hello miss, do you know his name?"
This question truly stumped Fang En.
From beginning to end, she had no idea what Li Zhonglou's name was, nor did she know who he was...
Faced with Fang En's silence, the officer was bewildered.
He had already planned to turn a blind eye and pretend he hadn't seen anything if Fang En could just state Li Zhonglou's name.
But he never expected that even after booking a room, they hadn't even coordinated names!
Were they this unprofessional? Or was this their first time?
The officer could only turn his gaze to Lin Qianqian.
He saw Director Lin with a grim expression.
"Take them all in!"
Lin Qianqian said in a stern tone, dropped this sentence, and turned to leave.
Initially, she had believed them. But now, not even knowing his name, and with Fang En dressed so provocatively, Lin Qianqian found it hard to convince herself this wasn't about prostitution.
Hearing Lin Qianqian's words, Li Zhonglou was speechless.
Their relationship was already complicated. The moment he saw Lin Qianqian, Li Zhonglou had predicted trouble.
However, his conscience was clear, and he stood on firm ground, so he wasn't afraid even if they went to the police station; it would just be a bit troublesome.
But the main issue was the delay.
It was clear someone was targeting him from Hu Han's side, and the court would likely proceed quickly. Therefore, every minute he was delayed meant more danger for Hu Han.
With that thought, Li Zhonglou took out his phone.
However, he warned the police officer, "Excuse me, I need to hand over my phone temporarily."
