Chapter 56: Conspiracy I
"But...... But I've worked hard to do it......" The innkeeper's voice sounded horrified.
There was another person in the room, but the voice was so low that it was impossible to hear what he was saying. Ling Tianmao quietly opened the door and saw that the person standing opposite the shopkeeper was actually a guy of normal stature, but he was wearing the same black cloak as himself, and he was facing away from him, so he couldn't see his specific appearance.
The man said something to the shopkeeper, who took a small step back and looked even more alarmed on his face:
"I know you're in a hurry to get that thing, but the affairs of this place are not entirely up to me, and I almost got it today, but I was intervened by a kid, and now Sowes is also in, you let me think about it again."
The cloaked guy didn't seem to let the shopkeeper go, and his body also took two steps forward.
"You...... What did you say! You've got the remaining half...... Good...... Good...... I'll try to speed things up as much as I can...... Please give me more time......"
This time, the mysterious man didn't bother him anymore, but turned and walked towards the stairs. The innkeeper leaned against the wall and gasped for air when he saw him go upstairs.
In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the other party, Ling Tianmao walked around the hotel again before pretending to have just come back and walked in. As soon as he entered, he gave an awkward smile to the innkeeper:
"That...... I'm so sorry today......"
The innkeeper's face was full of smiles at this time:
"Oh, how can you say that, you are a distinguished guest of Lord Timo, and you didn't make it clear to me before. We've caused you a lot of trouble, and Sowes' bastard boy should be educated well, it's just too bad, and it's not necessarily a bad thing for him to stay in there this time. ”
The innkeeper's enthusiastic attitude surprised Ling Tianmao a little, but thinking about it, after operating this place for so many years, he had never encountered any kind of situation, and he was naturally very tactful.
"I can't say that, I was a little impulsive at the time......"
"Hey, it's too polite for you to say that, I'm sorry for the trouble caused to you by tonight's events, plus you are a guest of Lord Timo, so I specially changed you to the VIP area on the fourth floor for free, and I hope you can stay comfortably tonight."
Ling Tianmao hurriedly excused himself, anyway, he just wanted to stay here for one night and move out, it was really unnecessary to change rooms so late.
But the innkeeper was very insistent and simply stuffed the key into Ling Tianmao's hand:
"If you don't take me, you won't be able to sleep tonight, and it's hard to be reassuring to offend Lord Timo's friends. Moreover, all the rooms in our VIP area are designed and built to fit the human body, so you will be much more comfortable to rest there. ”
Originally, Ling Tianmao wanted to refuse, but his last words touched him, no matter what, the room he lived in now was still too small, and it seemed good to have a spacious place to live.
So, after thanking the innkeeper, Ling Tianmao took his newly given key upstairs, and shortly after he went upstairs, a sinister smile appeared on the innkeeper's face.
Ling Tianmao carried a backpack and moved out of the room on the third floor to the so-called VIP area on the fourth floor. In the hallway, he met two young men in civilian clothes, who greeted each other with a smile, but they only gave him a cold look. Although Ling Tianmao was unhappy, he didn't want to cause trouble anymore, so he concentrated on finding his room.
After checking the room number on the wall, Ling Tianmao took out the key and opened the door. As soon as he walked in, he felt a noticeable difference, although the decoration and facilities here were not luxurious, but at least they reached the normal room size of the hotel he had stayed in before, so that he no longer had that feeling of aggrieved stay.
Placing the backpack on the shelf behind the door, Ling Tianmao jumped directly onto the bed. The soft mattress sank deep into it, enveloping him perfectly.
Ling Tianmao stretched comfortably and praised: "The VIP area is still different, downstairs is the same as a confinement room, you can't stand it if you stay in it for a while." ”
"Alright, don't just enjoy it. Did you just hear them? ”
"I'm not deaf, I must have heard."
"So what do you think they're looking for? I've been at home for so long and have never found out. ”
"Well, don't worry about it, didn't we say okay, we'll move back tomorrow, and we'll look inside when the time comes, if you and your father can't even find out how familiar you and your father are with your family, I'm sure they won't be able to find it." Maybe they're just mistaken. ”
"But we at least need to figure out what we're looking for, right?"
"That's a problem," Ling Tianmao sat up from the bed, "Let's ask him and he won't tell us, so we'll have to guess." Just listening to what they meant, it seemed that the thing had been split into two parts, and the guy in the cloak seemed to have found half of them. ”
The two of them discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't determine what the other was looking for, after all, they still had too little information. Just when Ling Tianmao was about to fall asleep in a daze, there was a sudden knock on the door in the corridor outside.
"What kind of VIP area is this, the sound insulation quality is too poor. Also, whether the people outside have public morality or not, they don't sleep honestly so late. Ling Tianmao complained as he walked towards the door, intending to remind the people outside.
Before he crossed over, Ling Tianmao had always maintained the habit of checking the situation outside the door before opening the door, although he had arrived in another world, he still glanced at the cat's eye reflexively before opening the door, but when he saw the situation outside, he hurriedly stopped turning the doorknob.
A man in a black cloak was standing at the door of the opposite room knocking on the door, although he could only see his back, the intuition in Ling Tianmao's heart told him that this person was the same as the one he had just seen downstairs.
The door quickly opened, and it was actually the two young people that Ling Tianmao had met in the corridor before, and the two young men respectfully invited him into his room.
"How do they know each other? What is he doing here? A lot of questions popped up in Ling Tianmao's head, and just when he was standing behind the door and didn't know what to do next, the door on the opposite side actually opened again, and the guy in the cloak walked out of it with his head down.
Watching his figure slowly disappear from view, Ling Tianmao hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the door of his room.
