Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Fang Xiaocao Takes Action

In this moment, fraught with crisis, there was no doubt that Tom was an exceptional assistant.

Just like earlier, without Tom.

It would have been Fang Xiaocao facing those three assassins herself, if it weren’t for Tom drawing their fire. No matter how much she planned, the moment she appeared in the hotel lobby, she would have been targeted by the three assassins.

Fang Xiaocao was well aware of this.

Tom, the assassin she had captured through hypnotism, had saved her life.

...

“The assassin still shouldn’t know what I look like,” she said.

“If I pretend to be a guest and walk past room 508, I should be safe.”

After some thought, Xiaocao muttered to herself.

Holding that thought, Xiaocao decided to make a trip to the fifth floor.

Of course, Fang Xiaocao didn’t hold much hope that Tom was still alive.

If nothing had happened to Tom, he would have sent her a WeChat message right away.

Since Tom was cornered by the three assassins and forced into the elevator, almost half an hour had passed.

A clash between masters often happens within a matter of minutes, not half an hour, right?

So, without any news from Tom up to now, the chances of him being alive were almost zero.

Xiaocao took out her sunglasses from her bag, put them on her face, and then put on a mask before heading to the fifth floor via the staircase.

She still wanted to check on room 508 on the fifth floor.

To see if there was anyone suspicious lingering outside room 508.

If so, that person would be sent by Su Wanqing.

After all, Zhi Qi had the capability to find out her check-in information and wouldn’t wait until Xiaocao divulged her address before sending an assassin to kill her.

Cautiously, Xiaocao stepped out of the stairwell, checking the elevator area first—no one was there.

Drawing a deep breath, she proceeded down the corridor with the poise of a regular hotel guest.

Everything at the door of room 508 seemed normal.

Xiaocao didn’t see anyone.

There were no bloodstains or signs of a struggle on the floor.

She was sure that Tom hadn’t come back.

“It seems Tom really is more likely dead than alive,” Xiaocao sighed to herself.

She didn’t linger in front of room 508, she didn’t even pause, continuing with a normal pace directly past the door to room 508.

Xiaocao did not dare to confirm whether or not someone was covertly watching 508; she did not dare to stop and look.

She walked straight past 508 and stopped at the door of an empty room at the corner of the hallway, knocking on the door pretentiously.

“Strange, haven’t they come back yet?” she said loudly, pretending to be annoyed.

“Where has that damn fool gone with the room card?” exclaimed Xiaocao deliberately loudly.

After speaking, she turned and left, directly entering the elevator and pressing the button for the first floor.

When the elevator reached the third floor, Xiaocao pressed the button for the second floor again.

After arriving at the second floor, she stepped out of the elevator and confidently turned into the stairwell.

Walking down the stairs to the first floor, she hid in the stairwell for a while, observing to ensure there were no suspicious individuals. Only then did Xiaocao emerge from the stairwell, walking triumphantly through the hotel lobby and out of the hotel riddled with crises.

Xiaocao hailed a taxi.

“Master, to the car rental!” she told the driver after getting in.

“Alright!” the driver responded, and the taxi slowly headed toward the nearest car rental.

The keys to the Wuling Hongguang were with Tom and could no longer be used.

If Xiaocao wanted to conceal her tracks, she would need to rent another car for transportation, making it easier for her to tail someone.

“Troubling,” Xiaocao sighed to herself as she thought of the Wuling Hongguang.

If Tom really was dead…

When Tom’s body was found, she was in trouble.

The Wuling Hongguang car keys, the chat history in WeChat, and Tom’s unseemly identity were all going to cause a lot of trouble for Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao needed to think about how she was going to defend herself.

If these things couldn’t be explained, Fang Xiaocao would be listed as a suspect by the police.

“What a hassle…”

Fang Xiaocao sighed to herself.

“Beauty, we’re here.”

The driver’s voice snapped Fang Xiaocao back to reality.

After scanning to pay, Fang Xiaocao pushed the car door open and got out, walking towards the car rental office.

This rental agency wasn’t the one she had visited last time.

Clearly, the driver had taken her the long way around.

Whether it was this driver who had taken her for a longer ride, or the previous one, Fang Xiaocao had no way of knowing.

Fang Xiaocao also wasn’t in the mood to pursue this kind of petty driver trickery, hoping to earn a bit more fare.

No matter how much farther they went, it would only be tens of yuan.

Fang Xiaocao, at this moment, wasn’t short those tens of yuan.

It wasn’t worth wasting time on such trivial matters.

Walking into the rental agency and looking at the dazzling array of cars, Fang Xiaocao headed straight for the SUV section.

She couldn’t rent the Wuling Hongguang anymore, so she chose an SUV instead.

Another rental of a Wuling Hongguang would stand out too much, better to choose an SUV suitable for various terrains.

Half an hour later!

Fang Xiaocao drove a white Volkswagen away from the rental office, made a round to buy some food, and returned to the hotel’s underground parking garage.

Fang Xiaocao wanted to see if anyone had touched the Wuling Hongguang.

She also wanted to check if her red convertible Land Rover was still there.

Fang Xiaocao slowly drove into the D section of the underground parking garage.

The red convertible Land Rover was gone.

It had obviously been taken by Su Wanqing.

This didn’t surprise Fang Xiaocao in the least.

At the same time, Fang Xiaocao was secretly relieved as this at least proved that Su Wanqing and Zhi Qi were not in cahoots.

Fang Xiaocao turned the steering wheel and parked the car in the spot previously occupied by the red convertible Land Rover.

This location was close to the Wuling Hongguang and made it more convenient for Fang Xiaocao to observe.

After parking, Fang Xiaocao didn’t turn off the engine.

Instead, she took out her phone and pretended to be on a call.

But her peripheral vision was covertly observing the Wuling Hongguang.

The car keys to the Wuling Hongguang were on Tom.

Fang Xiaocao wasn’t sure whether the assassins would have searched Tom’s body.

If they had, then the keys might very well be in the hands of the assassins now.

This was the outcome Fang Xiaocao hoped for most.

That way, she could save herself a lot of hassle.

Once confirmed that the car keys were in the hands of the assassins, Fang Xiaocao could simply report that she had forgotten and the keys were stolen.

She could then explain away the matter with the car.

For the room card, Fang Xiaocao could use the same reasoning to create an undeniable alibi.

The room card and the car were lost together, without any possible refutation.

There’s no evidence that the car and room card were given to Tom by Fang Xiaocao, so no one could presume her guilty.

Only the WeChat contact was a bit of a problem.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

Fang Xiaocao could only hope that the three assassins were greedy enough to take Tom’s phone as well, which would solve all of her problems.

This could completely sever all ties between her and Tom.

The Wuling Hongguang was undisturbed, showing no signs of being tampered with, which made Fang Xiaocao very anxious.
