In the restroom, Lin Xiao briefly cleaned the areas where he had come into contact with Gu Ming, ensuring no excess toxin had contaminated him. Only then did Lin Xiao say to Ye Chen, "You send them back first… I'll handle the rest."
He was furious.
He would make this person regret ever being born into this world in the most terrifying and hair-raising way imaginable!
"Yes, Brother Xiao."
Ye Chen quickly responded.
Lin Xiao flicked the water off his hands and walked out of the restroom.
The moment he exited, the doorframe of the restroom warped under an inexplicable pressure.
*Bang.*
A soft sound echoed from the ground as he vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already on the street outside, standing on the sidewalk with his senses fully extended.
What Ye Chen couldn't keep up with, he could still find.
"Fatty, pull up all the surveillance feeds… I want the cameras from Wanglong Road to Renmin East, not a single one missed," Lin Xiao said into his earpiece, seemingly catching a scent as he walked to the intersection.
"Okay."
Lin Xiao continued walking along the road, looking at his map. "Pull up the surveillance footage from the second traffic light… Ye Chen, help Fatty narrow down the scope."
He moved with incredible speed, and Fatty's operations were equally swift. In less than two minutes, they had traced the target's route and the last place he disappeared.
Thirty seconds later.
Lin Xiao appeared at the entrance of the Qiandu Hotel.
After a convoluted journey, the individual had entered this hotel.
He had even confirmed the room number.
This hotel… was one of the Nangong family's properties.
As he stepped into the hotel lobby, he felt at least six gazes lock onto him, though they vanished in an instant.
Security guards, receptionists, people in the lounge area – everyone was looking at him.
Among them, two gazes from the receptionists held a hint of hostility.
Even though they had tried their best to conceal it, they were completely exposed to Lin Xiao's senses.
He walked to the front desk nonchalantly.
"Hello."
As he communicated with the receptionist, he instructed Fatty to keep an eye on the target's room.
"Hello, sir."
"Do you have any rooms left? A presidential suite," Lin Xiao said, browsing his phone.
The target was staying on the same floor.
"Yes, we do."
The receptionist nodded while operating the computer, and a message was sent.
"Okay, please arrange one for me," Lin Xiao said, offering a slight smile. His gaze at the receptionist held a hint of amusement.
As if unable to bear his stare, the young lady subconsciously lowered her head.
"No rush."
Lin Xiao quickly completed the check-in process.
"Brother Xiao, the target is making a move."
"Is he planning to escape?"
"Yes."
"Then perfect, we'll intercept him halfway."
Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed. To be able to do what he did and then brazenly return to the hotel as if nothing had happened suggested he had done this many times before.
He looked at the elevator. The screen of his phone now displayed the view inside the elevator; Xiao Pang had hacked into the cameras.
"It's this person."
Lin Xiao stared at the individual, his eyes narrowing.
