Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Fang Xiaocao: Can’t Just Sit and Wait for Death

Suddenly, Fang Xiaocao thought of someone and asked, “Officer Wang, the person who hired Dolphin, aside from wanting Dolphin to take my life, were there any other demands?”

The one who had orchestrated in the shadows, who had used fake news in the newspaper to almost lead her to her doom.

“If it really is him, he will definitely want Dolphin to take my mobile phone.”

“He is the beneficiary of the phone and naturally knows that after my death, when the phone becomes ownerless, it can be bound to another person for super-space conversation; he definitely wouldn’t let the phone fall into others’ hands.”

Fang Xiaocao pondered in her heart.

Of course, these were all speculations Fang Xiaocao made based on her own assumptions. She hadn’t experimented with them, nor had Hot Noodles confirmed them.

...

“Dolphin did not mention any other demands from the person who hired him.”

“I will interrogate Dolphin again later to ask whether Dolphin has hidden anything or omitted anything,” Wang Qiang said after a moment of contemplation.

“That would trouble you, Officer Wang,” Fang Xiaocao said gravely.

“It’s what I should do,” Wang Qiang responded solemnly.

“Be careful and notify me immediately if anything happens. I’m going now to interrogate Dolphin,” Wang Qiang instructed Fang Xiaocao before hanging up the phone.

“Whew…”

Fang Xiaocao let out a deep breath.

Sitting on the bed, she furrowed her brows in deep thought.

After this small episode, Fang Xiaocao had lost all desire to sleep, her mind occupied with who exactly wanted to kill her.

“That’s not right…”

“Why didn’t Hot Noodles mention this to me?”

Suddenly, Fang Xiaocao realized something was amiss; Hot Noodles would have informed her in advance about such a matter.

“No, I have to ask!”

Muttering to herself, Fang Xiaocao unlocked her phone, opened WeChat, and began to compose a message to enquire about the situation.

“Why didn’t you tell me sooner about Dolphin being hired?”

After finishing her message, Fang Xiaocao sent it.

[Contact does not exist!]

Seeing the “Contact does not exist” notification, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“What am I experiencing right now?” she muttered as she put down her phone.

“No… I can’t just sit here waiting for death, I need to escape in advance.”

After muttering to herself, Fang Xiaocao climbed out of bed, quickly got dressed, and prepared to flee.

Fang Xiaocao knew that whatever Hot Noodles was going through, it likely signaled that she herself would soon be in danger.

Hot Noodles hadn’t had time to warn her and had been forced into a time-sensitive situation.

Over time, Fang Xiaocao had also come to understand some patterns.

The more sudden Hot Noodles’ disappearance, the more imminent the danger she faced.

With a problem just occurring and Hot Noodles already incommunicado, the danger might already be in the hotel’s lobby.

Having gotten dressed, Fang Xiaocao grabbed her phone and immediately went downstairs.

For safety’s sake, she chose the stairs instead of the elevator.

The fifth floor wasn’t too high or low for Fang Xiaocao to accept using the stairs.

She descended the staircase all the way to the hotel lobby.

After observing discreetly for a while and seeing no suspicious individuals, Fang Xiaocao headed straight out of the hotel and hailed a passing taxi.

“Driver, take me to the nearest car rental agency,” she instructed after getting into the taxi.

“Alright,” the driver acknowledged, started the car, and left the hotel.

For the sake of safety, Fang Xiaocao decided not to drive her own red convertible Range Rover during this time.

She would first get a rental car to avoid drawing attention with her red convertible Range Rover.

This time, Fang Xiaocao was very cautious.

People who were familiar with her all knew about the red convertible Land Rover she owned.

If someone familiar with her surroundings hired an assassin to harm her, that red convertible Land Rover could very likely become the target for tracking her movements.

Fang Xiaocao certainly did not want her movements to be exposed because of this, allowing the assassin to find her with ease.

The taxi stopped outside the car rental agency, Fang Xiaocao paid with a scan code, got out of the car, and headed straight for the rental agency.

Half an hour later!

Fang Xiaocao drove away from the rental agency in a silver-gray Wuling Hongguang.

Fang Xiaocao had purposely chosen this car because it was cheap, sturdy, and low-key.

She didn’t believe that the one hiring the killer and the assassin themselves could have imagined that she would rent a Wuling Hongguang as a temporary ride.

Parking in the hotel parking lot, Fang Xiaocao chose a spot from which she could see her red convertible Land Rover and parked there.

Fang Xiaocao wanted to conduct counter-surveillance.

To see if anyone was watching her car.

If the assassin came looking for her, they would definitely pay special attention to her car, and if she kept watch here, there was a high chance she would see what the assassin looked like.

Glancing at the time, it was almost time to check out; Fang Xiaocao thought for a moment and then dialed the hotel front desk.

“Hello, I’m a guest in room 509.”

After the call connected, Fang Xiaocao immediately reported her room number.

“Hello, guest.”

“How may I assist you?” the polite front desk receptionist asked.

“I’d like to extend my stay!” Fang Xiaocao said in a firm voice.

“Certainly, how much longer do you need to stay?” the receptionist asked with a smile.

“Extend it by five days,” Fang Xiaocao said. “I’ll pay through the hotel’s online booking app. Please confirm on your end and also notify the cleaning staff not to disturb my rest unless necessary. If I need cleaning services, I’ll call the front desk.”

After pondering for a moment, Fang Xiaocao spoke with gravity.

“Alright, guest, I’ve noted everything down. You can proceed with the payment on your end,” the receptionist said with a smile.

“Okay,” Fang Xiaocao acknowledged and immediately made the payment.

After receiving the confirmation message, Fang Xiaocao booked a homestay not far from the hotel through an online platform.

Fang Xiaocao had no intention of spending the night in a van; she came to conduct surveillance purely to try her luck.

Having booked the homestay and received the confirmation message, Fang Xiaocao then tried sending a message to Hot Noodles.

“Have you returned?”

[Contact does not exist!]

Seeing the familiar prompt, Fang Xiaocao could only put down her phone and start reexamining the whole situation.

According to what Dolphin said in room 308,

Dolphin had infiltrated her home several times.

Clearly, it meant someone had hired Dolphin to kill her even before she went to the mountains.

The person who could afford an abnormal serial killer like Dolphin clearly was not ordinary.

Therefore, Su Wanqing and her two roommates could also be temporarily ruled out.

“Could it really be Zhi Qi trying to kill me?” Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

After a long reflection, Fang Xiaocao concluded that only Zhi Qi among her acquaintances had the capacity to do this.

[Quack quack quack～]

At that moment, her phone’s notification sound rang out.

Fang Xiaocao immediately picked up the phone to check the message.

Zhi Qi: “Xiaocao, where are you?”

The message had come from Zhi Qi.

Reading the message from Zhi Qi, Fang Xiaocao felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave and whispered to herself, “Could it really be her!”
