Liu Sandao's words were believed by Bai Suxiang.
As immortals, they naturally had ways to destroy or prevent such occurrences.
Liu Sandao did not dismantle the surveillance device, as even the slightest movement could alert those who installed it.
To draw out the people behind this, it had to continue functioning.
The most important thing now was to determine how many such cameras were in the room. The mortal method would be to scan the room with a phone camera when it was dark.
But that would be too slow!
With his divine sense, Liu Sandao scanned every part of the room in just one minute.
There was only one camera, installed in the television.
This made things much easier!
Liu Sandao cast a minor spell, disabling the camera's audio recording.
He then briefed Bai Suxiang on what she needed to be aware of.
Bai Suxiang was initially reluctant and wanted to switch rooms.
Who wouldn't be unsettled knowing they were being watched?
However, leaving now would make it difficult to get closer to Qian Shumei; and switching to other rooms in the Lucky Inn might not guarantee the absence of surveillance.
At this juncture, it was better to remain still than to move.
Bai Suxiang understood Liu Sandao's reasoning but still found it hard to accept.
To help her, Liu Sandao intentionally placed an ashtray where the pinhole camera was pointed at the head of the bed.
After everything was arranged, Bai Suxiang reluctantly ate a few bites of breakfast; she didn't feel hungry at all.
Without interviewing Qian Shumei or tailing her, they seemed to have nothing to do.
Liu Sandao had not been keeping a constant watch on Qian Shumei because he noticed that the spectral entity had not reappeared since Qian Shumei left the mahjong room.
To confirm this further and to get closer to Qian Shumei, he decided that he and Bai Suxiang would visit the Lin family's residential complex, Kui Shou District, under the guise of sightseeing.
As the name suggested, it was the leading district of Wu Kui City.
Kui Shou District was not a place easily accessible to just anyone. The guards at the entrance constantly monitored people entering and exiting, checking identification.
Even delivery and courier personnel had to register briefly before being allowed entry.
Given Liu Sandao's skills, entering such a compound would have been effortless. However, appearing abruptly in Kui Shou District might raise questions about Qian Shumei's impression of them.
After much deliberation, Liu Sandao decided that playing the waiting game was the better approach.
Indeed, after waiting outside Kui Shou District for a short while, they saw Qian Shumei returning from the supermarket, carrying many bags of goods.
Directly opposite Kui Shou District was a large plaza, and beside the plaza stood a large supermarket.
At this distance, driving was unnecessary.
This was why they saw Qian Shumei carrying numerous bags back to the complex.
Liu Sandao signaled Bai Suxiang to quickly approach.
Bai Suxiang understood and immediately pretended to be strolling with Liu Sandao, heading towards Qian Shumei.
"Oh, what a coincidence! Sister Mei, I didn't expect to see you here!"
Bai Suxiang called out when she was about seven or eight meters away from Qian Shumei.
"Hahaha, isn't it? What brings you two here?"
Qian Shumei said with a smile, putting down her bags to rest for a moment.
"We're just wandering around, and we don't know of any fun places yet, so we've been browsing along this street!"
Bai Suxiang replied, then commented on Qian Shumei's purchases, "Oh, Sister Mei, you have so many things, they must be heavy. Let him help you carry some. Where are you going to catch a ride?"
"What ride? I live in this complex, it's very close, no need for a ride.
Since you've said so, don't blame me for being impolite. I'm assigning him to carry your load today, don't you complain to me!"
Qian Shumei didn't think too much of it. After all, what ulterior motives could two young people visiting Wu Kui City have?
This way, she could also save herself some trouble. Su Dan Novel Network
Liu Sandao smiled faintly, appearing quite shy.
He was naturally slender, and this smile made him seem even less threatening.
Qian Shumei was on familiar terms with the guards at the entrance and exchanged a few pleasantries. The guards didn't even check the identification of Bai Suxiang and Liu Sandao.
About a hundred meters inside the complex gate, there was a villa.
To the east of Kui Shou District was the high-rise residential area, while to the west was the villa district.
Each villa was a three-story building with red brick walls, exuding an air of wealth.
Each villa had its own private courtyard, though the yards were not large, only about forty to fifty square meters.
"We're here, we're here, this is it! Thank you!"
Qian Shumei gestured for Liu Sandao to put down the bags.
This was the Lin family's residence, and it would be inconvenient to invite them in.
"Sister Mei, who are you talking to?"
A voice called out from within, followed by the sound of a door opening.
"It's nothing, these are friends helping me carry my things. They'll leave after putting them down!"
Qian Shumei replied casually, while her hands were busy carrying things into the courtyard.
The door opened, and a woman around forty years old emerged.
She was wearing a black dress with a fringed shawl.
"Oh, is that so? Thank you!"
The woman said with a smile, her face radiating warmth and making her seem approachable. This greatly surprised Bai Suxiang, as this was a villa district, and a villa district in Wu Kui City at that.
These were truly wealthy people, even wealthier than the rich in Sandong City.
Didn't the wealthy usually have an arrogant demeanor?
Recalling Qian Shumei's initial tone, she had expected the mistress of the house to be difficult to deal with.
"It's nothing, just a small favor!"
Bai Suxiang said, and just as she and Liu Sandao were about to turn and leave.
"Splat!"
A sound, followed by "Got it! Got it!"
A child's voice, slightly childish, exclaimed.
At that moment, Bai Suxiang's skirt was splattered with something resembling ink.
"You brat, what are you doing?! Hurry up and apologize to Sister!"
The woman, upon seeing the situation, immediately turned and scolded the child behind her.
The boy, about seven or eight years old, pouted and said, "Sorry, Sister, I didn't mean to!"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just wash it when I get back!"
Bai Suxiang said, instinctively reaching out to touch the stain. However, it wouldn't come off.
"I'm so sorry, please come in first, you can try to wipe it inside, or perhaps change into something else before you leave!"
The woman said apologetically, ushering Bai Suxiang into the courtyard.
Qian Shumei was busy carrying her groceries, so Liu Sandao lent a hand.
The living room was very spacious, at least one hundred and fifty square meters. A luxurious sofa set was arranged in the center of the living room, with a particularly large chandelier overhead.
On one side of the living room wall hung a huge wedding photo.
In a corner of the photo, a small line of text was written: "Wishing to spend my life hand in hand with 'Hao Yumei', growing old together, Lin Jiashan."
It seemed she was the mistress of the house, Hao Yumei!
