This hotel is very difficult to book.
Qiao Nian stayed here last time she came here, but she didn't like the hassle so she didn't book a suite which was more difficult to book and just stayed in an ordinary standard room.
Ji Lin quickly completed the check-in procedures for the four rooms, came back with the room cards, and handed them to the four people in turn.
Then he asked the hotel waiter to come and take the luggage for Qin Si and the others, and he led the way in front with ease: "Mr. Wang, Miss Qiao, go this way. You are staying on the top floor. Their hotel has a special elevator for the top floor. You can use it by swiping your room card."
As Ji Lin spoke, he demonstrated it to Qiao Nian and the others.
"Ding".
The elevator door opens.
Ji Lin let Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan go in first, and then he followed.
He waited until everyone was in the elevator before pressing the elevator button for the top floor.
The elevator goes up very quickly.
Soon we arrived at the suite on the top floor of the hotel.
Qiao Nian looked at the room card number of her room, pulled the strap of her shoulder bag, and said coldly, "I'll go back to my room first."
"Okay." Ye Wangchuan responded, and then carefully reminded her: "You just got off the plane, go back and rest first."
Qiao Nian pulled his baseball cap down, hummed, turned around and walked to his door, swiped his card to open the door, and went in first.
As the girl went in, the door of Suite 6888 closed with a click.
Ye Wangchuan had been watching the girl go in, then he retracted his gaze and said to Ji Lin, "Come in, I have something to ask you."
Qin Si and Gu San knew that these were not things they should hear, so they said in unison, "Master Wang, let's go back to our room and pack our things first."
Qin Si and Gu San returned to their respective rooms.
Ye Wangchuan swiped his card to enter his room, placed the card at the entrance, turned around and looked at Ji Lin, and said to him: "Come in."

Qiao Nian returned to his room, put his things down, took out his cell phone, walked straight to the window, and opened the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Then she lowered her head and turned on her phone to see if Jian Jin had replied to her message.
Feng Yu and Shi Fu replied to her separately. Feng Yu knew some of her identities, so he didn't say much, just told her to be careful.
Shi Fu asked her a few more questions, asking where Qiao Nian had been and when she would be back.
Qiao Nian didn't reply to him. He scrolled down the messages with one hand and finally saw Jian Jin's reply message in the last column.
[Qiao, come out and see me?]
Qiao Nian saw that she had sent the message half an hour ago, narrowed his eyes, and replied to her: [Time and address.]
There has been no reply from Jian Jin yet.
She was not in a hurry and called Zhong Yiliu first.
The call was connected in seconds.
The old man's voice was as loud as ever, revealing his excitement: "Hey, what made you think of calling me? Have you finished your work in Independence Island?"
"No."
Qiao Nian pressed his hand between his eyebrows, feeling a terrible headache.
She had been investigating the cause of Ji Qing's death for so long but had only found a few clues. She hadn't yet unlocked the password on the USB drive, and as a result, Lu Zhi got into trouble.
"Then why did you think of calling me?" Zhong Yilu asked puzzledly.
Qiao Nian did not hide it from him: "I am in Country M."
…
In the first-class pharmaceutical laboratory of the Pharmacy Association, the old man stopped what he was doing, holding his phone with a look of astonishment and said in surprise: "You came to Country M? When did it happen..."
"Just arrived." The girl's voice was as clear as ever.
Zhong Yiliu calmed himself down a bit, walked out to the corridor, and then continued to talk to her: "What are you doing in Country M? Did something happen?"
