Chapter 48 - Deceived!
Suddenly!
There was a text message.
"Boss, the latest news is that Xiang Tian is in the Autumn Museum. Do you need backup?"
"There's no need, I'll scout out the situation myself. Form an ambush on both sides of the Autumn Museum, but don't let anyone notice."
Lan Anran's eyes lit up and she replied quickly. She kept her phone and strode towards the Autumn Museum.
The Autumn Museum was different from the Liu Xiang Pavilion. It was a coffee shop, but it was also entertaining. There were many entertainment facilities, including KTV and a card room. In the deepest part of the Autumn Museum was a guest room, which was reserved for the rich.
Lan Anran had changed her clothes. She was dressed maturely, with bright red lips, long brown hair, revealing clothes, and a pair of crystal shoes. She looked like a rich young woman.
The moment she entered the hall, she was stopped by a security guard and the receptionist.
"Miss, I'm sorry, the entertainment facilities are on the right," a security guard stepped forward and said.
Lan Anran took out a brown card and placed it in front of the security guard while chewing gum.
The receptionist smiled.
"Oh, you're a distinguished member? Which private room would you like today?"
The members of the Autumn Museum were different from others. According to the color of the cards, they were divided into high, medium, and low levels. The high-level members could choose their private room and the facilities in the private room were excellent. There weren't many high-level members in the Autumn Museum, so there weren't many conflicts.
The lower-middle-class members didn't have the right to choose their private room, as the lower-middle-class members were usually in the gaming area. In order to play games, Xiang Tian could only be a high-ranking member.
"Is there anyone else in any of these private rooms today?" Lan Anran asked.
Someone who could become a member of the Autumn Museum was definitely not a person to be trifled with, so she would have to deal with him carefully.
"There are guests in private room 306," the receptionist said respectfully.
"Then I want the room next to theirs," Lan Anran replied coldly, without a trace of emotion.
"Alright, please follow me."
The receptionist brought Lan Anran to private room 307.
Lan Anran entered the private room and took out her equipment. The room was soundproof, so she couldn't hear a single sound through the walls. She walked around the room several times, looking for a way to connect to the other side.
Next door…
Rong Ze was using a computer in his room to contact Mo Jinrong.
"Master Rong, there's still no news from Q, is she not coming?"
"That's impossible. Since she accepted the mission, she must have heard the news and will definitely come."
Mo Jinrong was certain.
Rong Ze sent a message to Q using his computer.
"How was it? Did you find Xiang Tian?"
He asked deliberately to test whether Q was here or not.
"I'm at the cafe opposite the Autumn Museum monitoring Xiang Tian. I believe there will be an outcome soon."
Lan Anran didn't reveal her information. After all, the internet was virtual and no one knew each other. She couldn't trust others easily.
The cafe opposite the museum?
Rong Ze looked through the window at the cafe across the street. As expected, someone was using a computer. The bait was in!
He closed his computer and left the room without closing the door.
"The few of you, go to the cafe across the museum and catch the person playing with their computer!"
Lan Anran heard the commotion outside and secretly opened the door a crack to see a figure walking out.
Was it Xiang Tian?
Or an employer?
Lan Anran didn't think too much about it and looked at the cafe out the window. Suddenly, her eyes widened.
The cafe suddenly became crowded. This was indeed a trap.
Rong Ze took the lead and walked into the cafe. He stood in front of a girl playing computer games and spoke triumphantly, "Q, you've been exposed!"
The girl was wearing glasses and had a white-collar temperament. She was frightened when she saw these people surrounding her. She said with a trembling voice, "Who are you? I didn't do anything wrong, don't arrest me~"
"Your acting is pretty good. Q, why aren't you admitting it? What are you doing here?"
Rong Ze smiled.
"I'm working, I'm a company executive. I… I didn't do anything, don't arrest me, I'm calling for help…"
The girl was pale with fright, her eyes dull and her voice trembling.
"Stop pretending, we won't hurt you. As long as you agree to cooperate with us and be our partner, you can request whatever salary you'd like!" Rong Ze continued.
"I don't know you, what are you talking about? I have a job, I… I called the police."
The girl continued to tremble.
Rong Ze snatched the girl's computer and opened her email. There were some contracts and documents, but there was no sign of them being deleted or formatted.
Rong Ze frowned. This computer was too clean, it didn't seem like it belonged to a hacker.
Looking at the girl's frightened eyes, he immediately understood. He had been tricked!
"Crap! I was tricked! Let's hurry back!"
Rong Ze turned to leave.
The group of people followed him and left the cafe. The people around were stunned.
Damn it!
As expected of Q, he was tricked!
Rong Ze returned to his room and noticed that the door next door was slightly open. Had Q been here?
He pushed the door open gently and found that the sofa was still warm. Q had really been in the room beside him!
He hurriedly chased after her, but there wasn't even a trace to follow.
