Novel Full 179 Miss Sunshine {Nine}
On the other hand, Lu Xuan was standing outside the CCTV control room. He took out his phone from his pocket and dialled a number.
“Hello, Uncle Gu, “Lu Xuan greeted the man on the phone. “I need your little help.”
Gu Yanxi listened to Lu Xuan’s explanation over the phone and then said, “I get it. Orchard groups have connections. You want to check out the CCTV footage. Let me talk to the General Manager of the hotel where the contest is taking place and then you can check the CCTV footage.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but think what if this sister was being sabotaged? How dare these people bully his sister when he wasn’t around? He wouldn’t poke his leg where it didn’t belong but if someone dared to poke their legs where it didn’t belong he would break that same leg with his own hands.
Every man has a bottom line. And his family was his bottom line.
“Thank you for the help, “Lu Xuan replied when he heard Gu Yanxi. Taking a small pause, he added, “But can you please keep it a secret from my mom for now? She doesn’t like the way I handle situations. “.
“You know I can’t keep secrets from Yanyan, “Gu Yanxi sighed. It was impossible for him to keep secrets from An Qinyan. Especially now when she was finally comfortable with accepting him.
“Uncle Gu, do you know how difficult it was for me to make mom think about considering you? I thought we were closer. But it’s alright…if you—”
Lu Xuan had yet to end his sentence when Gu Yanxi spoke.
“No. No. Son, we men have our secrets. Of course, I can keep it a secret from your mom, “Gu Yanxi laughed as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Why was this boy so similar to his mother?
How could he forget that Lu Xuan was the Godfather of his romantic life? He heard from Gu Shangyan how Lu Xuan made An Qinyan consider his proposal. He could offend any deity but this one!
It didn’t take long for Gu Yanxi to contact the General Manager of the Hotel Eve. Hotel Eve was a sponsor of the Miss Sunshine contest. When the General Manager of the Hotel Eve received the call that the CEO of the Orchid group needed a favour, for a second he couldn’t believe it. The status of the Orchid group was too high in the Hotel industry.
Hotel Eve was like an ant in front of the big elephant-like Orchid groups that dominate the luxury hotel industry in the country. The General Manager of the Hotel Even felt so fortunate when CEO Gu of Orchid groups asked for a favour.
Therefore, the assistant of the General Manager met Lu Xuan outside the CCTV control room to help the boy in satisfying his curiosity.
Although there was not much the hotel could do regarding the contest, they could surely share the CCTV footage. This was the least they could do because they weren’t allowed to interfere in contest matters.
“This is the CCTV of this morning, “The assistant said as he showed from the morning where An Xiulan had been. All her activities outside the room were recorded here.
“Pause, “Lu Xuan said as he saw An Xiulan inside the changing room while a girl was peeking inside through the door. This girl looked quite suspicious to him. The girl looked here and there as if checking the CCTV cameras and when she found one, she pretended as if she was doing nothing suspicious and then walked out of there in a confident manner.
Lu Xuan, who had broken into several rooms before to beat up his enemies, knew better what behaviour was suspicious or what was not!
He saw how An Xiulan left the changing room and several moments later, the same girl entered the changing room. This time she left a few minutes before An Xiulan came. However, she didn’t leave empty-handed this time but was holding a pink dress with her.
After a few moments, when An Xiulan entered inside she was with a girl. He knew this girl by the name Jiang Yao. He knew how two girls Xiao Xinyi and Jiang Yao were friendly with his sister. It was the same time when his sister had found her dress torn.
“Who is this girl?” Lu Xuan asked. It couldn’t be a coincidence that his sister didn’t find her dress torn before but when the suspicious girl left, An Xiulan found that her dress was torn. He was not born yesterday who couldn’t understand these silly schemes.
Moreover, the entire silliness of the Lu clan was inherited by his sister while he only inherited his mother’s good genes. Be it beauty or brain. He was better than his sister.
“That’s Miss Ji, “The assistant said with a smile. “One of the strongest contestants.”
Lu Xuan hummed and asked them to play another video.
Currently, he was re-watching the scene where his sister got hurt. He didn’t find anything suspicious here. Since the girls were standing in a crowd as a fight had broken out on the other side of the room, he couldn’t tell if his sister had fallen on her own or if someone pushed her.
But he could tell one thing that the girl who was standing before An Xiulan could have saved her but she intentionally took a step back and let her fall.
He couldn’t miss the sinister look in her eyes and the evil smirk on her lips.
The same Ji girl again.
Lu Xuan left the control room with the footage. He would show it to his mother and she could decide the outcome. He knew that Uncle Gu would snitch on him sooner or later and it was better if he involved his mother who wasn’t a righteous epitome like his dad. His mom didn’t care for the laws or police when her children were involved.
When he left the CCTV control room, he was in no mood to meet these beauty queens but since his sister was hurt and she must be acting pitiful with his mother, he thought of visiting her.
