Chapter 287: A Trap Set by the Wang Family
When they finished the tour along the antique street, it was already 5 pm, so they went back to the hotel.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting stopped the car in the parking lot, then went to have dinner at a nearby restaurant.
During the meal, Gu Ning received Master Tang’s call. He thanked her for advising him to buy the blue and white porcelain plate, which turned out to be a real one. Master Tang also invited Gu Ning to have a meal together, but Gu Ning declined because she was in the middle of her dinner.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went back to their presidential suite after they finished dinner. However, the minute that they walked into the room, Gu Ning quickly noticed that there was something wrong in the room. She found a red spot on the TV. It must be a pinhole camera!
Normally, people wouldn’t find it with their eyes, so Leng Shaoting didn’t realize that there was anything wrong, but Gu Ning had Jade Eyes which helped her notice the pinhole camera.
She immediately turned to Leng Shaoting and said, “Oh, I want to eat dragon fruit. Would you please buy some for me?” Then she said in an extremely low voice, “There is a camera inside.”
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was alert.
“You can leave first,” Gu Ning said in an extremely low voice again.
“Alright, just dragon fruit?” Leng Shaoting replied in concert with Gu Ning.
“And kiwi please,” Gu Ning replied, but said quietly, “We need to change hotels.”
“No problem.”
After that, Leng Shaoting turned around and left.
Gu Ning closed the door and turned on the lamp. She walked around the room as usual, but she was actually checking whether there were more cameras hidden elsewhere. Except for the one attached to the TV in the living room, there was another hidden at the bedside in the master bedroom.
Apart from the hidden cameras, Gu Ning also discovered a small feather box under the bed. There were bags of white powder in it. Gu Ning was displeased. Apparently, this was a trap. She tried to put the box into her telepathic eyes space without reaching underneath the bed, because there were cameras recording everything, and she didn’t want to expose herself.
Luckily, Gu Ning had enough power to do so. In that case, they wouldn’t be trapped.
In case any accidents happened, Gu Ning scanned the whole suite once more before she went to pack up.
All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door. Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes and saw that there were seven policemen outside.
She was slightly mad. _These policemen indeed couldn’t wait! _Gu Ning thought to herself.
However, the box of drugs was already put away in her telepathic eyes space, so she wasn’t worried that they would find anything.
“What happened?” Gu Ning opened the door and asked, like she knew nothing at all.
“We received a report that you secretly bought drugs and brought them back to this hotel. We need to conduct a search!” The leading policeman showed Gu Ning his search warrant and said as if he was just doing his job.
“Oh! Someone reported me? Who, when and where?” Gu Ning asked calmly.
“For the witness’s safety, we have the right to keep it a secret. We have a search warrant. If you dare to resist, we can directly arrest you,” the policeman said.
“Fine, come in please.” Gu Ning didn’t stop them.
The other policemen didn’t know, but the leading policeman understood that Gu Ning had no idea that there was a box of drugs hidden under her bed, so he was very confident to search her suite. Once they found the box of drugs, Gu Ning would have to admit.
Gu Ning let them walk inside, but also used her Jade Eyes to scan them from head to toe in order to see whether they carried bags of drugs with them. However, they were too confident, or the person behind them was too confident, to prepare other bags of drugs to trap Gu Ning in case they couldn’t find the box of drugs in her suite.
“Move now!” the leading policeman ordered, and the other six policemen immediately conducted the search around the suite.
They didn’t directly search the bed in the master bedroom, instead they searched everywhere in the room. Gu Ning could tell that only the leading policeman knew where the drugs were hidden.
After they had searched everywhere in the suite, including Gu Ning’s suitcase, they found nothing illegal.
“Captain, we’ve searched everywhere, but found nothing.”
“Captain, I didn’t find any illegal drugs either.”
“How’s it possible? Did you search the space under the bed?” the leading policeman blurted it out unconsciously.
“We did!” a policeman answered.
The leading policeman couldn’t believe it, because his boss clearly told him that the box of drugs was under the bed. He went to check himself, but failed to find it.
“So, you’ve conducted your search, and found nothing illegal. Can you leave now?” Gu Ning said.
“No, just because we can’t find it out doesn’t mean that you don’t have drugs. Tell us, where did you hide your drugs?” The leading policeman obviously didn’t want to give up.
“Well,” Gu Ning sneered. “I’m curious, why are you so confident that I have drugs with me. I’ve let you search the suite already. If you don’t have proof, you have no reason to accuse me. Is there someone behind you who wants to trap me?” Gu Ning’s attitude turned tough, and fixed her eyes on him.
The leading policeman panicked a little. He wanted to retort, but someone ordered him to retreat in his earphones. Gu Ning heard it too, and drew her lips into a cold smile.
The leading policeman then left with his colleagues, and Gu Ning didn’t stop them. It was meaningless trying to deal with them now. Once K handed evidences of the Wang Family’s illegal behavior to Gu Ning, she could easily unseat the Wang Family.
The moment that the policemen were gone, Gu Ning left the hotel too.
Lin Jian, instead, was struck dumb in front of the computer which showed the video captured by the hidden cameras. He couldn’t figure out why his scheme had failed. He had watched the box of drugs put under the bed in the master bedroom with his own eyes from the hidden cameras. And he had been waiting in front of the computer the entire time. It was impossible that Gu Ning had the chance to remove the box of drugs.
What the hell is going on!
Lin Jian was anxious, and immediately reported it to Wang Hongming. Wang Hongming was also shocked, and couldn’t believe that they had failed, but they had to accept the truth and hope that their people in Colorful Jade Provider’s factory could succeed.
Leng Shaoting ordered a presidential suite in a nearby five-star hotel. He carefully searched the whole suite, and didn’t leave until he found no hidden cameras or bugs inside.
He called Gu Ning, but Gu Ning didn’t tell him many details, because she didn’t know how to explain how the drugs disappeared all of a sudden.
