“Ah…”
Crow’s body trembled. He never expected that in an instant, truly, in just that instant, he would be pressed down, as if there was an immense pressure, like Mount Tai, pressing on his head.
It rendered his entire body immobile.
Most importantly, he felt an unprecedented sense of mortal danger.
He had a premonition that if he truly resisted, he might actually die. Suddenly, everything-Yvette Tang, beauty, ex-girlfriend-became irrelevant to him.
Right now, all he wanted was to stay alive.
He didn’t dare to struggle even a bit, fearing that Robin Bailey would exert force and crush his head.
“How about that?”
Robin Bailey looked up and smiled faintly.
Yvette Tang felt a sense of shock. What a strong man, what a powerful man. Her heart was instantly captivated. Then Yvette Tang downed the Bloody Mary, her face flushed.
Afterward, she collapsed onto Robin Bailey, her eyes seductive. She grabbed Robin Bailey’s collar and exhaled a fragrant breath, saying, “The hotel is at the entrance.”
“Alright.”
Robin Bailey smiled and immediately carried Yvette Tang out.
Meanwhile, Crow still didn’t dare to move at all. He lay on the ground, gasping for breath, his pupils contracted in deep fear. No one knew what kind of experience he had just gone through.
It felt like he was just one step away from hell.
One step away.
Really, just one step away.
If he made even the slightest movement, he might be gone.
“Damn it, what kind of person is this, actually coming to our seaside city?”
Crow lay on the ground. He had been mixing in this seaside city for over twenty years and thought he had seen it all. But he had truly never seen someone like this, like a demon, like a devil.
It was terrifying.
However, if Robin Bailey had brought out that fanged mask, he estimated he would have been even more terrified.
Mr. X, he was the true demon.
At this moment, Robin Bailey was carrying Yvette Tang towards the hotel. Yvette Tang’s face had a slight intoxication, her gaze hazy. She leaned on Robin Bailey’s shoulder, exhaling hot breaths.
As a woman, she understood how to make Robin Bailey blood-bathe in desire.
However, she didn’t know that at the moment they entered, someone took a photo.
Soon after, Robin Bailey booked a presidential suite and walked in, laying Yvette Tang on the bed. Yvette Tang embraced Robin Bailey’s shoulder, wanting to kiss him.
Because the real show was about to begin.
However, Robin Bailey didn’t accept it. Instead, he moved Yvette Tang’s hand aside. “What’s the rush? We still have plenty of time today. I ran out of cigarettes, so I’ll go downstairs and buy a pack.”
“Okay.”
Yvette Tang didn’t mind. There was no rush. Robin Bailey was just going to buy a pack of cigarettes. After all, once they undressed later, he probably wouldn’t want to go downstairs anymore. She knew some men had a habit of smoking after such activities.
She had experienced it before.
So she just waved her hand and let Robin Bailey go.
Afterward, she went to take a shower.
And Robin Bailey left, and a Wolf Guard approached, saying, “General, the photo was taken, and we destroyed the nearby surveillance footage. No one followed us.”
“Good, let’s go.”
Robin Bailey waved his hand.
The mission was complete; it was time to run.
And half an hour later, Yvette Tang finished her shower, all clean and tidy. She wrapped herself in a sexy bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom, blow-drying her hair while waiting for Robin Bailey.
Then…
Ten minutes passed.
Twenty minutes passed.
Thirty minutes passed.
“Where is he?”
Yvette Tang lay on the bed, completely bewildered. She had been waiting for almost an hour. Did he buy cigarettes and go to another province to buy them?
Why hadn’t he come back yet?
Yvette Tang tossed and turned on the bed. She didn’t even have Robin Bailey’s phone number, and she didn’t even know his name. She was still in her bathrobe, and Yvette Tang was completely disheveled.
“Is this guy a scammer? But why didn’t he scam me of my body?”
Yvette Tang grabbed her head, feeling completely overwhelmed.
What was going on?
Where is he?
Could he really be a scammer?
Yvette Tang immediately checked her bag and belongings, but nothing was missing. She hadn’t lost a single thing. Suddenly, Yvette Tang was dumbfounded. “He didn’t scam me for money, so where is he? It’s been over an hour, and he hasn’t come back.”
The money was still there.
The body was still there.
But where was he?
Yvette Tang quickly got dressed and went downstairs. At the front desk, she hurriedly asked, “Where is the man who was with me earlier? Where is he?”
“That gentleman? He left.”
“He left?”
Yvette Tang, of course, knew he had left. The key question was, where was he? She immediately asked, “Where did he go?”
“I don’t know. He just went out directly and never came back,” the front desk said.
“I want to check the surveillance footage.”
Yvette Tang frowned.
The surveillance didn’t only cover the hotel corridors; it also covered the outside. By checking the footage, she could get an idea of where the man went and what happened. After all, there were many places to buy cigarettes near the entrance, and even the front desk sold them.
However, the front desk shook their head and said, “I’m sorry, the surveillance is down today, and we’re still fixing it.”
“It’s down?”
Yvette Tang rubbed her temples, and her face wrinkled in frustration.
What the hell is going on?
Scamming for money?
Scamming for her body?
If it’s neither, then why did he bring her to this hotel? Just for fun?
“Damn it.”
Yvette Tang took two steps back and forth, unable to understand. But one thing was certain: that Robin Bailey was playing with her. She immediately made a phone call and said, “Um… help me investigate…”
She suddenly realized she didn’t even know the man’s name, where he lived, or how to contact him. Now, with the surveillance footage destroyed, she couldn’t find a single photo of him.
This is frustrating.
No.
She didn’t have that capability.
“You help me. In the bar, someone must have seen him. Find that person based on their description and locate him,” Yvette Tang said.
She called someone from the Tang family.
It was the only dumb way left. There was no other option.
“What the hell is going on?”
Yvette Tang grabbed her head, completely baffled, and left the hotel. What a mess! She came here excitedly, and then the man left excitedly. He wasn’t scamming for money, nor for her body.
It’s really bewildering.
Unbeknownst to her, Robin Bailey was at a roadside, using a public phone to call Ferdinand Braton.
“Who is this?”
Ferdinand Braton’s voice came through the phone.
Robin Bailey lowered his voice, sounding a bit hoarse. “I’m an intelligence dealer. I have information for sale. Five million. This information concerns the life and death of your Braton family, and it’s time-sensitive. You have ten minutes to decide. By the way, you might not believe me, but there’s something in the flowerbed at your doorstep. Take a look, and you’ll believe me.”
After saying that, Robin Bailey hung up.
The bait was set. Now he just had to wait for the fish to bite.
