“Boss… boss…”
Upon reaching the second floor, Han An looked at the beautiful Xu Yina and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Um, I’m here for tourism. What about you, boss?”
“My wife’s family is from this area.”
“So, boss, you came with your wife?”
“Hmm,” Han An said, “Coming to Lijiang alone is just a hassle, because most people are in pairs. Yina, you must have come with your husband, right?”
“No, I’m alone,” Xu Yina said after shrugging. “I’m going back to my parents’ home by myself this National Day holiday. My husband is staying in Shenzhen.”
Why didn’t I come with you?
“We had a fight,” Xu Yina said, sounding somewhat helpless. “He only knows how to play his League of Legends and doesn’t care about me at all, so I didn’t want to go back to Shenzhen so early and came to Lijiang by myself.”
“This is the capital of romantic encounters.”
“I’m not the kind of woman who expects a romantic encounter, after all, I’m already married,” Xu Yina paused, then suddenly laughed, “I met you here, boss, does that count as a romantic encounter? No, I can’t joke like that with you, boss, after all, we’re both married.”
“It’s okay, we both have nothing to hide,” Han An paused, then added, “Actually, sometimes I think being alone is pretty good.”
“The landlady mustn’t hear this, or she’ll misunderstand.”
“Don’t worry, she’s not here.”
“Boss, you live here too?”
“without.”
“You seemed to be talking to the receptionist about the surveillance video just now.”
When Han An realized that Xu Yina had overheard him, he didn’t know how to explain.
Seeing that the boss didn’t say anything, and realizing she had said something she shouldn’t have, Xu Yina said, “I didn’t hear clearly either, so you don’t need to tell me this. Boss, shouldn’t you go find the boss’s wife now?”
Han An didn’t want to leave Huazhu Inn until he saw the surveillance video.
After all, the surveillance video was a prerequisite for him to solve the mystery of his wife’s infidelity!
Looking at Xu Yina, Han An asked, “Which room are you staying in?”
“8203”.
“Wait a moment, I’ll go to the front desk.”
With that, Han An went downstairs.
When the receptionist saw Han An again, she immediately lowered her head.
Clearly, the receptionist wanted Han An to leave immediately.
As they approached the cashier, Han An asked, “Which room did my wife stay in before?”
“8203”.
“Thanks.”
After thanking him, Han An went to find Xu Yina.
Seeing that Han An still hadn’t left the inn, the receptionist became even more frustrated.
After reaching the second floor, Han An said, “If you don’t mind, please come to your room for a while.”
“I don’t mind, but I’m afraid the landlady will mind,” Xu Yina said. “If the landlady misunderstands something, I’ll be in big trouble.”
“She won’t come over, as long as you’re not worried about your husband misunderstanding.”
“My husband isn’t here either, so he won’t know I ran into you, boss,” Xu Yina said as she walked away. “Boss, my room is over here, come with me.”
Upon reaching room 8203, Xu Yina took out her phone.
After reading the password sent by the inn, Xu Yina immediately entered the password.
Hearing a beep, Xu Yina opened the door.
After Xu Yina went in, Han An followed.
Xu Yina’s suitcase was placed in the corner and was open, so Han An immediately saw the black underwear on top.
Xu Yina noticed this as well, so she quickly went over and closed the suitcase.
“This is actually a duplex.”
“I booked it because it’s a duplex,” Xu Yina said. “I’ll use the first floor to watch TV and the second floor to sleep. It’s a good arrangement.”
“My wife stayed here for three nights,” Han said. “She checked out yesterday morning.”
“Did the landlady stay in this room before?”
“Yes, I just asked the front desk,” Han An paused, then asked, “Have you rummaged through anything in the room?”
“No,” Xu Yina said, “I haven’t been to the bathroom or the second floor yet.”
“Would you mind if I took a look?”
“Um,” Xu Yina said, looking a little embarrassed, “Although your request is a bit strange, I still agree.”
Upon hearing Xu Yina’s words, Han An immediately went into the bathroom.
Han An wanted to conduct a thorough inspection of the room where his wife had stayed to see if he could find anything.
As for what he was looking for, Han An had no idea.
However, a thorough examination would make him feel more at ease.
Seeing the bathroom that had been cleaned extremely well, Han An immediately squatted down.
While Han An was conducting the inspection, Xu Yina stood in front of the bathroom watching, looking quite embarrassed.
She wasn’t stupid, so she had already guessed that the boss was looking for something related to his wife.
Based on the fact that the boss had previously asked the front desk if they could provide surveillance video, Xu Yina had a general idea of what was going on.
After checking the bathroom and finding nothing, Han An immediately went upstairs.
In addition to checking the bed, Han An also paid special attention to the gaps around the bed.
In the end, nothing was gained.
It seems that the inn is really well-maintained.
After going down to the second floor, Han An asked, “Yina, when are you planning to go back to Shenzhen?”
“I’ve already bought my plane ticket for the day after tomorrow.”
“Then have fun these next two days.”
“Boss, are you…?”
Seeing that Xu Yina didn’t continue, Han An asked, “What?”
I don’t know whether I should say it or not.
“There’s no need to hide anything from me, making it seem like I’m a very serious boss.”
“No, no, no, you’re not serious at all. I love working for you,” Xu Yina said. “I don’t like asking questions that involve other people’s privacy, but when I saw you looking for something in the room where the boss’s wife used to stay, I couldn’t help but ask. You just said that this is the room where the boss’s wife used to stay, which means you probably don’t live here with her. Combined with the fact that you asked the front desk about the security camera footage, I think you are…”
“Don’t keep getting stuck at the crucial point like a storyteller, keep going.”
“Well then, I’ll share my opinion. If I’m wrong, just consider it me talking nonsense!”
“Speak.”
“Is the landlady… you know?”
Could you explain it more clearly?
“Cheating…”
After saying it, Xu Yina seemed a little nervous, and her face turned slightly red.
Clearly, Xu Yina, as a married woman, rarely mentions such a sensitive term.
When Han An first met Xu Yina, he didn’t want to talk to her about this.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yina guessed it.
So, should Han An tell Xu Yina what he discovered, or choose to deny it outright?
Given Xu Yina’s intelligence, even if he denies it, she would probably know he is lying.
Furthermore, since he needed Xu Yina’s help to access the surveillance video, he decided to take a risk.
“Ina, what’s your impression of my wife?”
