Chapter 938 The Fox Has Entered The Forest

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Night came to Imperial, engulfing the sky with darkness. As the lights turn on, some people prepare to end the night while others enjoy the night.

Imperial Hotel continues to open its doors to welcome its guests in the heart of Imperial, where it is the busiest during the day and the night.

Amongst the many cars unloading in front of the hotel, a white Mercedes soon arrive at its turn.

The driver's side door opens, and a woman with medium-length brown hair steps out into view. She wore a bright red coat with white boots that wrapped around her legs.

With the light passing of the night wind, the front of her coat flutters to reveal the red body-con dress that enhances the curves of her body.

"Good evening, Miss Ji. It's a pleasure to see you visiting again."

An employee greets her upon arrival, causing Ji Chu Hua to smile at the woman vaguely. Her appearance was alluring, but her eyes held no ounce of emotions.

"I have a reservation for a private room."

She hands the keys to her car to the woman and slightly nudges her head to the trunk of her car.

"Please have someone send my things up. I'm meeting someone in the cocktail lounge."

The woman nods in understanding as she takes the keys. Handing them to a valet worker with hair slightly covering his face, she gives a quick instruction before returning to Ji Chu Hua.

"Miss Hua, please follow me this way. I will retrieve your room key from the front desk."

Ji Chu Hua maintains a polite attitude and follows after the worker. However, despite wanting to keep up the facade, she took the lead by a step.

The two women entered Imperial Hotel, and the worker wasted no time. She led the way straight to the cocktail lounge with Ji Chu Hua.

She wanted to ensure the hotel's most esteemed guests were treated with the utmost care.

As their figures walked past the guest waiting area, neither was aware of a pair of eyes focused on them.

A beautiful woman sat amongst the many people waiting to be taken to their rooms. However, a hint of coldness made others afraid to approach her.

The non-prescribed glasses on top of her nose slightly hid the murderous glint of light in her eyes that glued onto Ji Chu Hua's head.

Sitting next to her was a man with a decent appearance. Unlike the woman, he looked more relaxed and easygoing. In his hands was a book but instead of reading, his eyes were focused on the woman at his side.

Lian Ni Shang watched Ji Chu Hua and the worker disappear around the corner. She takes out her phone and makes a phone call.

The line rang twice before it connected, and without waiting for the person on the other line to answer, her lips parted to speak.

"The fox has entered the forest."

["Got it. Entering surveillances now."]

After the confirmation, Lian Ni Shang ends the call and puts her phone in her coat pocket. She turned to look at the man next to her but was taken aback to see how he looked at her.

"Sinan, why are you staring at me?"

Shan Sinan smiles with a shrug of his shoulder, eyes never leaving her face.

"Just because."

He closes the book and places it on his lap. His head tilts to the side, and he looks at her again.

"Is it wrong for me to want to stare at my girlfriend?"

Lian Ni Shang turned flustered, and a bashful smile crossed her face. However, she was never one to shy away, whether they were alone or in public.

She takes the book from his hand and raises it open. Once it blocked their view from anyone nearby, she leans towards him and kisses his lips.

"Let's go. The others are already in position."

Shan Sinan smiles at her. If he had been any other day, he would prefer to take her home and cuddle in bed instead. However, they had a purpose for being here.

He took the book from her and held her hand before heading toward the cocktail lounge.

Outside of the hotel, Ji Chu Hua's car enters the valet parking area explicitly designated for all the VIP guests of Imperial Hotel.

The white Mercedes back parks in an empty spot, and the valet worker exits the car. His hair, partially covering his face, made it hard to get a good look at him.

He closes the door but does not walk away from the vehicle. He walks to the back of the car, opens the trunk to take out the luggage, and then closes the door.

However, if one were to look carefully, one would see that he had stuck something inside the car's trunk space.

He locks the car and takes the luggage to the hotel entrance, where another hotel employee awaits him.

"Bring this to Miss Ji's room."

The employee is a young woman wearing the hotel uniform. She stares at the man with confusion, but seeing the hotel logo on the man's jacket, she nods.

Confirming nothing was amiss, she takes the luggage and walks away.

Only when the valet worker had left alone did he retrieve his phone from his pocket. He dials a number and places the phone next to his ear.

"Done."

He doesn't wait for a response and ends the call as he heads for the hotel staircase. Once the door closes behind him, he makes his way down the stairs.

He removes the jacket leaving only a black turtleneck top, and places the coat on the stair railing. While he continues down the stairs, his right hand raises to his face, and he removes the colored contacts in his eyes.

Tossing the contacts inside a nearby trash bin, he reaches for his forehead to comb his hair.

However, while doing so, he removes the wig, allowing his freshly faded haircut to come into view.

His cold expression did not change as his palm smooths over his head, and he reached inside the pants pocket to get his glasses.

Putting them on, Qi Li increases his speed down the stairs to meet the others.

Inside Imperial Hotel's cocktail lounge, Ji Chu Hua was led to the bar. She had removed her red coat and sat with a glass of Martini, happily chatting with one of the bartenders.

From afar, the two looked to be acquaintances catching up, but if one were close enough, one would be in for a shock.

"Miss Ji, are you here alone?"

The bartender asks with a smile that could make women faint from happiness. However, Ji Chu Hua was able to hold her ground.

She returns the smile and picks up her Martini to take a sip.

"Sorry, I'm meeting someone."

She sets the glass down and leans towards him, slightly pushing her arms together to make her chest appear fuller.

"But I am free after."

The bartender stares at her face for a second, but his eyes can't help but lower to take a glance at her revealing cleavage.

His throat grew relatively dry, and he swallowed a hard gulp with difficulty. He looks back at her face and grins widely at her.

"I don't mind the wait."

Even though he knows that Ji Chu Hua is not her for business but for pleasure, he is happy enough that she is willing to give any attention to someone like him.

He reaches the side of the bar counter and picks up his business card. Sliding it to her, he gives her a side smirk.

"Give me a call when you are free."

Ji Chu Hua stares at the man with an innocent face, but inside, she is sneering with ridicule. She had only spoken with the man because he was pleasing to the eyes, and she wanted to kill some time.

However, she takes the card without wanting to ruin the hard work she has put into her image.

"I will."

Just as she put the card inside her bag, a hand touches her right shoulder. She jumps in surprise and turns to look at the person.

Who she saw made her eyes light up and the corners of her mouth raise.

"Gu Ting Fei."

Gu Ting Fei wore a grey suit tailored to fit his body. His face suited any woman's taste, but at this moment, his eyes were only on the woman in front of him.

"Did you wait long?"

Ji Chu Hua shook her head in response and stood up from the chair.

"I arrived not too long before you did."

She reached for her coat, but Gu Ting Fei was faster. He put it over his arm and held his other arm out to her.

"Our room is ready. Let's go up."

Ji Chu Hua was not bothered by the question and placed her arm around his, ever so lightly pressing her chest against his arm.

"Let's go."

As they turned away, Gu Ting Fei didn't forget to glare at the bartender. His eyes warned the man to stay away from his woman.

However, before the man can react to such a threat, Ji Chu Hua sends him a flirtatious wink.

He watches as the two walk away from the bar, and he snorts.

"I'll definitely make it a night's worth."

Since Ji Chu Hua agreed to meet him afterward, he will do just that. After all, when does he ever get an opportunity like this?

"Ah!"

The bartender had just turned around when he heard a woman's yelp. He spun around in the direction the cry came from and was surprised to see that it was Ji Chu Hua.

However, the two people that were just standing in front of him were no longer alone.

There was a petite woman and a very stylish man next to them.
