Has the Female Lead Turned Villainous Today? [Quick Transmigration] 93p2

Chapter 093: World Four [15-2]

Before the hotel manager could say anything more, the phone in his pocket rang. Seeing that it was a call from his boss, he turned and left the room without thinking and went to a corner where no one was to answer the phone.

Three minutes later, the hotel manager reappeared, and the look on his face had completely changed, from the original worry to a condescending arrogance. “Our boss said that our hotel will absolutely not have any pinhole cameras. We check once every month.”

“This young lady, may I ask what evidence you have to prove that this pinhole camera was found in the hotel? This is a self-contained model with storage. I suspect that you brought it in from the outside to slander our hotel!”

“You two officers, I suspect that they have ulterior motives and are deliberately doing this to slander our hotel!” the hotel manager said with conviction.

“What the hell?” A question mark appeared above Meng Jiuge’s head. What was she doing bringing this kind of thing for no reason?

“You two officers, our hotel’s revenue has been very good recently. I suspect that the two of them were sent by other hotels to cause trouble, to ruin my hotel’s reputation and use this kind of immoral way to increase the customer flow of other hotels,” the hotel manager continued, almost pointing at Meng Jiuge’s nose and saying that she had been bribed.

“Slander should be something you can be sued for, right? Are you going to send yourself to prison for this job?” Meng Jiuge raised an eyebrow and stood up straight to look at this hotel manager who was about the same height as her.

The hotel manager subconsciously took half a step back. “Nonsense. This is a reasonable suspicion. Our hotel’s guests have never found any pinhole cameras. In the five years since we opened, you are the only one who has mentioned this!”

“I’ve stayed in so many hotels, and this is also the first time I’ve really found a pinhole camera,” Meng Jiuge said, her tone full of contempt. “You don’t think that we’re easy to bully just because there are only the two of us, do you? There are police here.”

As her voice fell, another person’s phone rang.

This time it was not the hotel manager’s, but that of the female police officer in charge. The female police officer subconsciously took out her phone and glanced at it. Seeing that it was a call from a colleague, she hesitated for two seconds and still pressed the answer button.

“It’s me. Yes, I’m on a case.”

“What? Are you sure? Do you really have to…” A hint of surprise was in the female police officer’s tone. “Okay, I understand. I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

“Sorry, we’ve received a more urgent mission. We’ll take this camera for investigation first. If there are any developments later, we will notify you,” the female police officer said and handed over a small notebook. “Please leave a contact number so that we can communicate with you later.”

Meng Jiuge took the small notebook and, while writing her phone number, asked, “Officer, may I ask if there is any urgent matter? Did a case happen in Feng County?”

“Sorry, it’s not convenient for us to disclose this,” the female police officer took back the small notebook, simply gave a few instructions, and then left in a hurry with her apprentice, leaving Meng Jiuge with a rather complicated look.

“You two young ladies, I think we can have a good talk about what just happened,” the hotel manager said. Two security guards had, at some point, appeared behind him.

“There’s nothing to talk about. Just change our room, and then apologize and compensate,” Meng Jiuge said, immediately suspecting the female police officer’s words just now.

That phone call had come a little too coincidentally. It couldn’t be that they had deliberately sent them away to make it convenient for the hotel’s people to threaten her, right?

“I’ve already said that I suspect you were sent by other hotels to cause trouble. I want to check your phones,” the hotel manager said, beckoning to the two tall and strong security guards behind him.

Then he directly ordered, “Find their phones and then smash them for me.”

“Wait, you’re trying to rob me of my property? A home invasion?” Meng Jiuge’s eyes widened. Don’t get the wrong idea. This reaction was not fear, but purely surprise.

The police had just left, and these people dared to act recklessly. Weren’t they afraid that she would call the police and settle the score afterwards? Could it be that they would kill someone for a camera?

“Take them down,” the hotel manager said.

The two security guards took two steps forward and, in unison, reached out their hands towards Ling Yilin, who looked to have more combat power.

“Ah—”

The two security guards screamed. A burst of flame appeared out of thin air, burning the flesh on their hands.

“See? This is the consequence of acting in a low-key manner. You’ll be treated as a soft persimmon, and anyone can come and pinch you,” Ling Yilin snapped her fingers.

The flame, which was originally only on the security guards’ hands, instantly spread to their entire bodies, and the smell of burning was accompanied by shrill screams.

“You… who are you people! Someone! Quick, someone! There’s an arsonist here!” The hotel manager was so scared by this turn of events that he fell to the ground. He crawled to the door, half-kneeling and half-crawling, trying to escape.

Unfortunately, this place had long been enveloped by an array that Ling Yilin had set up. Without her permission, no one could open the main door. And everything that happened here, no one could hear.

Meng Jiuge swallowed. “Just… just burn them to death like this? W-won’t that be a little not good?”

“Are they dead?” Ling Yilin asked in return.

Meng Jiuge focused her gaze. Although the flame had covered their entire bodies, the smell of burning was more from their clothes, not because their flesh was being burned.

That’s right. After all, a person was made of flesh. If they were really in a fire, it should have turned into a similar smell of roasted meat.

Meng Jiuge was a little dazed. “If it’s not the body, then what are you burning, senior?”

“Their souls. As long as there are still evil thoughts in their minds, the flame will not be extinguished. It will continue to burn until the moment their souls dissipate,” Ling Yilin said in an extremely calm voice.

“Don’t worry about a fire. The flame will not ignite other things. It will only burn their souls and a part of their clothes.”

Meng Jiuge blinked her eyes. Although it was not good to burn a soul at the slightest disagreement, if you thought about what they had done before, this measure seemed to be quite appropriate.

“Senior, do we still have to see the boss behind the hotel?” Meng Jiuge asked.

Ling Yilin lowered her eyes to look at Meng Jiuge and asked patiently, “Who do you think that manager just answered the phone to?”

“The person who turned black and white is the hotel’s boss?” Meng Jiuge quickly reacted. “Is it the hotel’s boss who wants to deal with us?”

“What do you think?” Ling Yilin threw the question back.

“I think so. To have a conspiracy theory, our background might have been found out by the hotel’s boss. After all, we all registered with our real names, and I even booked the room half an hour in advance,” Meng Jiuge stroked her chin and began to let her imagination run wild.

Ling Yilin did not reply. Ignoring the two who had already fainted from the pain, she walked to the hotel manager.

“Did your boss tell you what to do when you encounter this kind of situation?” Ling Yilin asked. “Or were you just sent by your boss to die?”

The hotel manager took out his phone with trembling hands, with no courage left. “I… I can call my boss. Your… Your Excellency can talk to him directly.”

“Call,” Ling Yilin spat out a word.

The hotel manager pressed the redial button with a trembling hand. After two beeps, the call was connected, and a deep voice came through the microphone.

“I’m sorry that I couldn’t personally welcome the two distinguished guests. I apologize to the two of you here,” the voice clearly belonged to a man, and he sounded to be around thirty.

“You know who we are?” Ling Yilin asked.

The other end of the phone chuckled lightly. “I was lucky enough to have a little bit of a connection and found out that two members of the twelfth branch of the special administration had graced my hotel.”

Ling Yilin did not speak, her eyes slightly narrowed, and she had Xiao Qi go and find the person through this call.

“I know why the two of you have come. I have no intention of being your enemy. If the two of you want to find those people, you might as well go and take a look at Lü Village. There should be the people you are looking for there,” the person on the other end of the phone said, his tone sounding quite sincere.

“Who are you? How do you know we would come here?” Meng Jiuge asked.

“Hehe, this question, I believe a certain Your Excellency is already clear. I won’t repeat it here,” the person on the other end of the phone cleared his throat. “I have no intention of being your enemy. It’s just that my subordinates are a little insensible. I hope the two of you will not blame them.”

Ling Yilin did not speak, but looked at the silent hotel manager.

Could he control an ordinary person with just his voice? It seemed that the other party was not an ordinary cultivator. His cultivation was at least at the Golden Core stage.

“Are you related to the human traffickers?” Ling Yilin asked.

“No. I am just a law-abiding businessman. The camera in the room was just a coincidence. To express my apology, I will upgrade the two of you to the best room. You can stay until the day you leave Feng County.”

Ling Yilin no longer paid attention to the person on the other end of the phone and directly crushed the hotel manager’s phone with her spiritual power, and at the same time, made him physically fall asleep.

“Senior, what should we do? Should we go to Lü Village and find someone as the other party said?” Meng Jiuge pulled at the corner of Ling Yilin’s clothes, her heart a little flustered.

What was all this? The normal process of completing a mission, shouldn’t it be that she had to work hard to collect clues in Feng County, and after a field investigation, she would find that something was wrong with Lü Village, and then she would start to investigate in depth and find the truth?

Why did she encounter such a bad thing as a pinhole camera in the hotel at the very beginning? Not to mention that her whereabouts and identity had been leaked, but she had also been severely schemed against!

However, the other party’s scheme had not succeeded. They probably had not expected that her own senior would be so decisive as to make a move on the security guards who were ordinary people, right?

“No need,” Ling Yilin snorted coldly. “Come with me and we’ll find them directly.”

“Huh?” Meng Jiuge was stunned for a moment, and then her right hand was held by Ling Yilin.

In just a moment of a daze, Meng Jiuge found that she had been teleported from the hotel to a certain place outdoors.
