1860: I Listened To You

I Listened To You

Jiang Yao thought that the waitress was a fake employee; she did not expect that the waitress was an employee of that hotel.2

So, Jiang Yao suddenly felt a chill in her spine.

Was it because the so-called cultists no longer only pray so foolishly, as Lu Xingzhi had said? Those devotees were people from all walks of life. They had infiltrated every level of society, making it impossible to guard against them.

Those in charge of those ignorant people had become more intelligent. The money earned by those people from their job would most likely end up in the pockets of the so-called elders.

They exploited blind faith to compel so many people to provide for and serve them.

"Moe, follow the two people at the door. Their plan failed, so they should go to their elders for help." Jiang Yao called out to Moe, who was leaning against the window. "Follow them and see where they go to find their elders. Observe the situation there, and then come back immediately to tell me."

Moe looked up at Jiang Yao and shook his head. "If I leave, no one will protect you."

"I won't leave that room until you return. This is a high-class hotel, after all. The security is excellent. If I don't leave the room, they won't have a chance to attack me even if they wanted to! And I'm not really unarmed."

Jiang Yao felt at ease with the hotel's management based on the quickness with the manager arriving to teach the waitress a lesson. Furthermore, the hotel had security on all floors 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Jiang Yao deduced that they were unlikely to have any more men in the hotel. Otherwise, they would not have to rely on the waitress to get her out of the room.

Jiang Yao eventually persuaded Moe to leave. It happened in a flash. Moe crouched beneath the car and followed them as they began to leave.

Lu Xingzhi returned faster than Jiang Yao expected. He was back in about half an hour. When he reached the room, he did not say anything but hugged Jiang Yao in his arms.

"I listened to you and didn't try to be brave."

Jiang Yao pinched his waist. "I didn't want you to worry, so I didn't leave the room and wait for you to return."

"Good girl."

Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao's face as if he were praising a three-year-old child. When he was on the way, he was quite afraid that Jiang Yao would disobey him and let those people take her away.

Fortunately, she was still there.

Jiang Yao said, "I asked Moe to follow them. There should be news when Moe comes back. What is the plan now?"

"Go to the Martyrs' Mausoleum to confirm the bomb." Lu Xingzhi did not hide it from Jiang Yao. "On one hand, we need to confirm the bomb in the Martyrs' Mausoleum. On the other hand, we need to find the source of the homemade bombs. Finding the source shouldn't be difficult if there are many explosives or bombs."

"According to what I overheard in their chat, they appear to have put many bombs in the Martyrs' Mausoleum. How many investigators have been dispatched there? Can we be certain that we will find all of the bombs?" Jiang Yao was concerned about it. "If those people were prepared and planted many bombs, as long as one of them detonated, it would be destructive to the entire area. The Martyrs' Mausoleum is a big area."

Jiang Yao put on a thin coat and got out of bed. "Drive me to the Martyrs' Mausoleum and give me a map. I'll use my method to find out the location of the bombs in the fastest way possible."
