Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming-Chapter 858 Shuiwang Hotel
Chapter 858: Chapter 858 Shuiwang Hotel
Shuiwang Hotel.
Just by the name, one can tell that it’s an insignificant little motel. The owner is a sleazy middle-aged man. Upon seeing the clean and pretty Bai Xiao check in, he smiles lecherously, "Little girl, are you here for business?"
His words were anything but well-intentioned.
Shao Ming stepped forward to stand in front of Bai Xiao, "Boss, we’d like a room!"
The owner’s yellow teeth were instantly bared, damn it, he thought she was a single young lady, but it turns out she wasn’t alone.
These motel owners harbored no good intentions towards single women who were alone.
Especially since this place is close to the border, all manner of lawless people could show up. The fate of a beautiful young girl could well be imagined, as those with experience and a sense of security wouldn’t venture into this den of chaos.
It’s just that a decent girl wouldn’t come to such a place.
That would be asking for trouble.
"A single room is ten yuan a day, a double room is fifteen yuan a day. Bring introduction letter and ID," the owner said grudgingly.
Those who stay at a motel, especially a small one like this, are usually not upstanding folk.
Shao Ming handed over fifteen yuan, "Just for one day!"
"Introduction letter and your ID!" In fact, their enforcement standards could be strict or lax.
It all depended on how they sized up the customer.
The owner tapped the countertop in front of him! He was extremely annoyed, so he deliberately made things difficult.
Shao Ming slapped the money on the glass countertop, casually lifting his shirt with one hand, tucking it in at the waist, his expression stern.
The owner caught sight of something bulky at the waist, shut his mouth obediently, and handed over the key.
"Sir, your room is at the very end of the second floor. It’s the best condition we have here," he said with a flattering smile. This is a street on the border; just across the street corner is Myanmar. In this place, even if someone commits murder, as long as they cross that corner, the police have to stop, or else it becomes a serious diplomatic issue.
Everyone here understands this.
In this area, those with power make the rules. When starting trouble, you’d better have your eyes wide open and not mess with the wrong people, or else you won’t even know how you died.
Shao Ming escorted Bai Xiao back to the room. His people were stationed in various outer areas, ensuring they wouldn’t be attacked. His primary responsibility was close-range protection of Bai Xiao! Of course, his assistant would arrive soon, a female assistant.
Shao Ming, responsible for protecting Bai Xiao, recognized there were areas he might not be able to cover, which is why he brought a female bodyguard, a special arrangement made for Bai Xiao this time. If Jiang Shaoqing hadn’t reminded him, it wouldn’t have crossed his mind.
Bai Xiao sat in her chair, never moving from her spot. She was waiting, fraught with anxiety that wouldn’t make things any better; she could only sit quietly and wait.
A strong premonition told her that An Zhiyuan was probably in bad shape; knowing Bai Mei as she did, her sister’s determination for vengeance was no less than hers. Hating him to the bone, it would be strange if she didn’t want to humiliate An Zhiyuan upon seeing him.
An Zhiyuan’s character is not one to compromise easily, so pushing too far might cause problems.
She could only hope that it would all be over soon.
Ding-a-ling!
The phone rang downstairs.
Bai Xiao glanced at her wristwatch; it was exactly five o’clock, not a minute more, not a second less.
She didn’t even need to guess that the owner was about to call out to them.
"Bai Xiao, Doctor Bai, who is Doctor Bai, you have a phone call!"
Sure enough, the owner’s voice rang out.
