The waitress immediately fell silent, adopting an attitude of letting Ning Wei speak.
Ning Wei wanted to know the man's background, his true identity. A young man with bodyguards and such a generous spender, what kind of family did he come from?
In fact, this information could be revealed, but it depended on who was asking.
If it were an enemy, divulging such details would only invite trouble.
However, no one would refuse money, and one had to be bold to get rich.
Moreover, Ning Wei was a woman, and she didn't seem like someone looking for trouble.
So the waitress revealed all the details about the regular customer.
This regular customer was the scion of both a wealthy and a demolishing family. His mother had remarried into a rich family, but unfortunately, the rich husband had a fatal car accident, leaving behind a vast fortune.
His mother, not knowing how to manage a business, simply sold the company to others.
To make money grow, she met an official and learned in advance about a place slated for demolition. Using this information, she became a well-known "demolition second generation" here.
Most importantly, his mother was actually involved with this official. Otherwise, how could the mother and son have kept so much money and remained unharmed? Not to mention how this regular customer lived such a carefree and prosperous life here.
But when Ning Wei tried to inquire further about the official's identity, the waitress fell silent.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't. Just know his background is powerful. Knowing too much is not good for you or me," the waitress had said clearly enough, so Ning Wei let the matter go.
"Then what is his name, or how do you all refer to him?"
"Everyone calls him Young Master Gao." The waitress skirted the issue, not revealing the man's name.
Since nothing more could be learned, Ning Wei ordered two bottles of wine and gave them directly to the waitress.
Li Ye had been waiting in the lobby for a while. Since Ning Wei said she had some important business to attend to, he felt it was inconvenient to be there, so he left Pink Crystal early.
Otherwise, the information gathering wouldn't have gone so smoothly. After all, for a woman with a man to be inquiring about another man's affairs was something no one could tolerate.
Returning to the lobby, although it was dark outside, there were still many people entering and leaving the hotel.
"Let's go." Ning Wei walked on the brightly lit ceramic tiles in her high heels. Her skin was fair, like a snow doll.
Li Ye nodded, then put his arm around Ning Wei's slender waist. They walked past the front desk and slowly towards the elevator.
As they did, Ning Wei casually glanced at the front desk and was shocked to see that the uniform of one of the staff members had changed from blue to red.
Normally, two people worked the front desk at night. But tonight was different; including the staff member in the red uniform, there were a total of three.
The hotel wouldn't arrange it like this, so the person in the red uniform was definitely not human!
Once Ning Wei noticed, the red-clothed ghost also twisted its head one hundred and eighty degrees, revealing a blood-red mouth and a sinister smile directed at Ning Wei.
Ning Wei saw that the ghost's teeth were sharp and small, like those of a sea fish, arranged in rows.
Its eyeballs were grayish-white, just like the evil spirits she had seen before.
Ning Wei also felt excited. She had been waiting for so long here, wasn't it all for this moment?
Therefore, seeing the evil spirit, she felt no fear at all.
The next second, the evil spirit attacked.
It flew directly towards Ning Wei, its outstretched hands elongating like taffy.
Just a little more, and it would have grabbed Ning Wei's triumphant face.
An invisible net created a barrier between the person and the ghost. The evil spirit, as if electrocuted, trembled all over and fell to the ground.
Ning Wei provocatively twisted her ankle, and then Li Ye, with his arm around her waist, led her into the elevator.
"I told you not to move, and you didn't. You trust me that much?" Ning Wei hadn't made a move when the female ghost attacked. This was the reason.
"Isn't trust the most basic thing between teammates?" Ning Wei retorted.
In fact, when Li Ye offered to handle it, Ning Wei had given it serious thought.
After all, it was difficult to trust someone completely without any preparation.
Li Ye's gradual probing had slowly lowered Ning Wei's defenses.
Upon entering the room, Ning Wei immediately went to the bathroom, but Shanshan still did not appear in the mirror.
"It seems the time is not yet right." Ning Wei frowned at her reflection. Only her own face looked back, a ghost hunter still beautiful even with a frown.
Li Ye walked to the wall, but he couldn't even sense the presence of a corpse.
Because the space was different, everything here was an illusion.
It was as if there was an invisible mirror in front of them. Everything reflected in the mirror was the truth, but it couldn't be touched.
"What is still missing? Why can't I see Shanshan?" Ning Wei walked out of the bathroom barefoot, holding her high-heeled sandals, each step exuding allure.
"It should be soon, don't rush," Li Ye said comfortingly.
Just as Li Ye finished speaking, the phone rang.
"May I speak with Mr. Li Ye?" a sweet voice from the front desk inquired.
"This is he."
"There is someone here to see you at the front desk."
"Who is it?"
The call paused, likely being transferred.
"Li Ye, it's me," it was the voice of Young Master Gao. "Don't you want me to see the bead? I'm at the hotel now. How about we go to the coffee shop for a cup of coffee?"
"Okay, please wait."
The call ended. Li Ye put his arm around Ning Wei. "The time has come."
"Are you really going to give him the bead? Don't forget that this space is different. Once you give him the bead, who knows when you'll get it back."
"Don't worry, leave it all to me."
The Young Master Gao was arrogant enough. His主动 calling now showed he truly wanted to see the bead.
Time waits for no one, so they immediately took the elevator down to the coffee shop.
As soon as they sat down, the waiter brought them coffee, not even giving Li Ye and Ning Wei a chance to choose. Everything was controlled by the man with peacock-like hair.
His disrespectful behavior didn't anger Li Ye.
Before Li Ye could even take a sip of his coffee, Young Master Gao tapped the table. "Where's the bead?"
Li Ye smiled slightly and took the bead from his pocket. He hadn't put it in fabric or a fancy box, just casually tucked it inside his clothes, which made Young Master Gao look at Li Ye with a bit more respect.
Young Master Gao took it and looked at it for a moment. Although he didn't understand antiques, he had bought enough to have some experience.
