Chapter 71: Unfurling Her Splendid Appearance

  "Xiao Ya, judging from Liu Kang's tone, he is already dead." Although this was said by Liu Kang himself, if possible, Tong Jing did not want to expose anyone's secrets. However, the Liu and Tan families were sworn enemies, so Tong Jing naturally regarded the Liu family as enemies too. Although she felt a bit sorry for Liu Kang, Tong Jing was still very protective of her own people.

  I don't know how long I've been staring at Tong Jiao, who's fallen asleep. Tan Ji Yan finally straightened up his body, it was already 1:30 in the morning. He should leave, after all, being seen by others in a hotel wasn't good, especially if the Lius found out, they would definitely think of Tong Jiao. But even though he knew he should leave, he couldn't take a step.

  Tan Jieyan knew that he seemed to care more and more about Tong Jiang, although he had thought of keeping Tong Jiang by his side before. After all, Grandpa had mentioned marriage intentionally or unintentionally, and Tan Jieyan would rather take care of Tong Jiang than other women. Yes, taking care of her, from the debt five years ago, Tan Jieyan always felt a sense of duty and responsibility towards Tong Jiang, but tonight he discovered that his feelings for Tong Jiang were no longer just about taking care of her, but also included another emotion.

  At 2 am, although there were still staff at the hotel front desk, this time period was almost when people were most spirited and exhausted. Tan Jieyan opened the door, and the man who had been waiting for him quickly walked over in the quiet corridor, leading Tan Jieyan to a side passage for employees.

  "Settle the room bill." Tan Jieyan handed a card to the man beside him, still in a cold tone, "Just give it to Guan Yao afterwards."

  "Yes, I know." The man took the card and put it away, watching as Tan Jieyan's car quickly disappeared into the darkness of night. Only then did a look of confusion appear on his face. Deputy Mayor Tan had come to the hotel in secret tonight, but in the end, he had let him go settle the room bill himself. Didn't that amount to exposing his whereabouts?

  And if Deputy Mayor Tan is exposed, he will definitely be implicated and his identity will be revealed. The man furrowed his brow and walked into the hotel, entering his staff dormitory. He finally dialed Guan Yao's phone number. After all, this case had been investigated for so long, and he had been undercover for a month, but still hadn't found any clues.

  "Check out?" The phone rang, Guan Yao turned on the bedside lamp, having slept for less than three hours. He had previously received a call from Ji Yan, knowing that he went to Xixia Mountain overnight to see Tong Hua, and Guan Yao was somewhat surprised.

  After all, the journey was only more than two hours, and there was Tan Jia San Di at Xiao Tong's place, so nothing would happen. However, in the middle of the night, Ji Yan drove for two hours to get there, and then drove another two hours back. Such a pointless action was really not like something Ji Yan would do.

  "Yes, head, if I go to the front desk to settle the bill now, Cheng Tian Nan and others will definitely investigate Vice Mayor Tan, and I'll be exposed." The man reported with a headache, feeling that the ordinary-looking card on the table was a thorny problem.

  "It's okay, tomorrow morning when the room service comes, you go to the front desk to settle the bill, and then return the card directly to Tong Jiao. The Xiqiao Mountain side is very strict, and people who consume here are either rich or noble. The cards that are swiped, except for internal personnel, the front desk staff can't see any information at all. The card in your hand is even more confidential, even if Cheng Tian Nan wants to investigate, he won't be able to find out anything."

  This time, Guan Yao sent a new undercover agent from the Criminal Investigation Department, a police university student who had just been assigned to the department. He had too little social experience and thought that swiping his card would reveal the account holder's name. The high-end club in Xixia Mountain was doing well because of its excellent confidentiality, so it was estimated that except for Cheng Tian Nan and his trusted people, no one else knew who came here to consume or how much money they spent. As for Ji Yan's card, it must be even more confidential and absolutely impossible to investigate.

  "What happened at night?" Guan Yao finally asked, not wearing glasses, so his phoenix eyes looked exceptionally sharp. Ji Yan didn't make sense to do this, why did he have to pay the room fee?

  "Nothing happened, after Vice Mayor Tan arrived, I took him to the room, and we weren't seen by anyone on the way there or back. Oh, right, he also ordered a guest service, and the staff brought up a set of women's underwear." The man answered Guan Yao's questions conscientiously, but despite being only a few years younger than Guan, he felt like a naive little kid in front of him.

  "It's all right, you can rest now, just settle the bill tomorrow morning." Guan Yao's gentle and elegant face flashed a hint of a smile as he hung up the phone. It turned out that it was because of this that Ji Yan was being petty, but it was also understandable. Previously, he had even paid for the Volvo himself, not to mention the lingerie Xiao Tong wore. Ji Yan would absolutely not let Mu Fang foot the bill.
