Chapter 260 Who Did It
"The police are here!" The two sides were at a standoff.
A few police officers arrived from the elevator.
They had received a report, and since it involved guests from Hong Kong Island, the police hurried over.
The crowd parted a bit as they saw the police coming.
"Who made the call just now?" a middle-aged police officer asked.
"It was me," Li Jialin said.
The middle-aged officer asked, "Are you Miss Li Jialin? You reported that there are hidden cameras in the room."
"Yes, officer," Li Jialin said arrogantly.
"Officer Zhu, I think there might be a misunderstanding, please let us explain," Cao Fang, the hotel general manager, naturally recognized the local police.
"General Cao," Officer Zhu gave him a look and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, we will definitely uncover the truth."
With that, Officer Zhu and the other two officers wanted to enter the room.
Li Jialin stretched out her hand to stop them, "Wait."
"Miss Li, is there something else?"
"You can go in later, a reporter friend of mine is coming over," Li Jialin said.
Hearing this, all the hotel executives changed their expressions.
Li Jialin was determined to leave no stone unturned.
Connections might work with the police arriving,
but once the reporter exposed everything, it would all be over.
The officers' faces also turned sour, implying Li Jialin didn't trust them. Officer Zhu said, "Even if a reporter is coming, we can still conduct the investigation. What does it have to do with the reporter?"
Li Jialin smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, but I feel that the presence of a reporter will make the investigation more impartial."
Officer Zhu said sternly, "Miss Li, are you questioning the integrity of the police?"
Li Jialin replied indifferently, "I didn't say that, but you'll have to wait for the reporter to arrive before we go in together."
The officers were now at a loss.
Li Jialin obviously wouldn't let them in, and more than a dozen beauties were blocking the door. A saying goes, 'Three women make a market,' let alone more than a dozen. These women were all well-educated elites, invoking the law and human rights in their speech.
And then there was Li Jialin from Hong Kong Island.
The police didn't dare to force their way through.
Chun Tao was completely out of options. As a rural woman, it was already her limit to muster the courage to negotiate with Li Jialin, and now in this situation, not just her but even Cao Fang and the other old hands were out of solutions.
Although Long Xiaoshan felt sorry for Chun Tao, at this moment he didn't step forward but went to the side and activated his Heavenly Eye.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Dressed in street stall clothes, aside from hotel executives who had seen him, no one else paid him any attention.
The Heavenly Eye radiated its power to its fullest.
Enveloping the entire floor.
With his clairvoyance, he quickly located the cameras in room 622 and then scanned the rest of the floor. Finding no other cameras was a slight relief to him; a mass incident with cameras in every room meant the hotel was doomed, and not even he could save it. Your next journey awaits at empire
If there was just one, though, it was a bit easier to handle.
He observed the cameras.
They were still on, transmitting wirelessly.
Given the wireless transmission, the distance couldn't be too far, or the signal wouldn't come through.
Narrowing his eyes, he no longer cared about the notion of "look but don't see." His Heavenly Eye passed over everyone in the hallway, rendering their clothing transparent.
He didn't spare even the mixed-race beauty.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips...
Ding-dong.
The elevator doors opened again.
A delicate-looking girl with glasses walked in, carrying a camera over her shoulder.
Seeing the bespectacled beauty, Li Jialin hurriedly waved, "Siting!"
"AMY!" Xu Siting, seeing Li Jialin as well, waved back and walked over.
"Let me introduce you all, this is Xu Siting, the star reporter from Phoenix Media," Li Jialin said coldly, eyeing the hotel staff.
The hotel executives' hearts sank into an abyss.
Phoenix Media was a major outlet.
Even if they had huge local influence, they couldn't sway Phoenix Media, especially not with this star reporter.
"Siting, it's in this hotel's bathroom where I found the camera. It's terrifying. I'm thankful that I had the experience of being secretly photographed by paparazzi before, making me sensitive to these things. I found it just in time, otherwise I would have been filmed taking a shower. You must expose this hotel thoroughly, Siting," Li Jialin said furiously.
Xu Siting patted Li Jialin's hand and said, "Don't be angry. If there really was hidden filming, I'll definitely help you expose it."
As a woman, she had zero tolerance for covert filming.
Plus, Li Jialin was her good friend.
Li Jialin said thinly to the officers, "Alright, now you can go in and investigate."
After speaking, she stepped aside from the door.
Before entering, Officer Zhu gave Cao Fang a helpless look. Now, with a big reporter from Phoenix Media there, they had no options left.
The officers went in, and Xu Siting followed with her camera.
Soon, two cameras were dismantled.
This stirred up the guests, who, charged up like roosters, demanded an explanation from the hotel. Some agitated guests even insisted that the police search their rooms for hidden cameras as well.
Cao Fang and the others were pale as death; now that the evidence was confirmed, and with Xu Siting recording the entire process of dismantling the cameras,
the hotel was likely done for.
If the media made a big deal out of it, causing a bad reputation, the Sihai Hotel might very well close the next day.
"Wait!" a voice interjected.
Long Xiaoshan came forward through the crowd and said, "I believe this camera is not the responsibility of the hotel."
"Who are you?" Li Jialin looked at Long Xiaoshan coldly.
"With the evidence right here, what else is there to say?"
"If it's not something your hotel did, are you suggesting we did it ourselves?"
A group of beautiful women accompanying Li Jialin all started shouting.
Long Xiaoshan smiled slightly and said, "That's right, it indeed was your doing."
