The World's Richest Man: Start with the Daily Intelligence System

73: Chapter 73 The Mole in ActionAfter the two left with their arms around each other’s shoulders, Zhang Wei returned to the sofa, sat back down, and called An Xiaoxi: ”How are things going on your end?”

At this moment, inside the presidential suite on the top floor of the Hilton Hotel, An Xiaoxi was kneeling on the large bed, her fingers typing on the keyboard in a blur: ”Everything is normal here. I’ve taken care of everything you mentioned.” After saying this, she turned on the 100-inch TV and started watching Lurk starring Sun Honglei.

”You have to admit, watching a 100-inch TV is really satisfying. How about we buy one for our place too?”

Zhang Wei retorted irritably: ”You’re a little rich woman now. If you want to binge-watch in style, pay for it yourself. It’s not like you can’t afford it.”

Three hours later.

Qin Mulin and Xiao Qian were lying on the bed, feeling bored out of their minds. There was no entertainment in their room, so they could only chat with each other. But every conversation eventually reaches an end; at this point, they were nearly at the stage of sharing embarrassing stories from their childhoods, having truly run out of things to talk about.

However, they didn’t dare to leave the room. When Minister Han came to deliver dinner earlier, he had warned them repeatedly not to leave the room easily, stating that any violation would be severely punished.

Qin Mulin glanced at the electronic clock on the wall once more; there were only two hours left until the transaction time. It was time to start acting.

He sat up from the bed: ”Xiao Qian, this is just too boring. Let’s just go to sleep early so we can be energized for work tomorrow.”

Xiao Qian looked at the clock and scratched his head, saying: ”But Brother Qin, it’s only seven in the evening. How can I fall asleep this early? Besides, I already slept for an hour on the plane.”

Qin Mulin got up, took two cans of beer from the room’s refrigerator, and handed one over: ”Come on, Xiao Qian, let’s have a drink. You’ll be drowsy and fall asleep in no time.”

Xiao Qian knew his alcohol tolerance was poor. But on second thought, since he had nothing to do while awake anyway, having a little drink and crashing into sleep sounded perfect.

Thus, the two started drinking together. Before long, Xiao Qian collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep. After checking multiple times to ensure the other was completely asleep, Qin Mulin put on a mask, threw on a jacket, and slipped out of the room.

After confirming there were no acquaintances in the hallway, Qin Mulin carefully made his way to the hotel lobby. He wanted to call a ride-hailing car to go straight to the Hilton, but when he reached into his pocket, he remembered he didn’t have his phone with him.

Fortunately, he had some cash in his wallet. Just as he was about to go out to hail a taxi, a simple-looking young man in a hotel uniform walked over: ”Sir, are you going out? Do you need me to help you call a taxi?”

The waiter had arrived at the perfect time, so Qin Mulin nodded. The other person spoke a few words into a walkie-talkie and then turned to Qin Mulin, saying respectfully: ”Sir, there is a taxi waiting for passengers at the entrance. I will take you there.” After saying this, he made a gesture of invitation.

Qin Mulin didn’t suspect anything and followed the waiter to the main entrance, where a taxi was indeed parked in the waiting area.

Once in the taxi, the driver, who looked quite young, asked enthusiastically: ”Hello? Where to?”

”The Hilton Hotel. Driver, how long will it take to get there from here?”

The young driver glanced at the time on the central console screen and said: ”It’s just past eight o’clock now. If there’s no traffic, it will take half an hour at most.”

Qin Mulin leaned forward and looked at the screen in the front, which indeed showed 8:10. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. There would definitely be no problem making it in time for the transaction.

Worried that Xiao Qian might wake up or Minister Han might come to check the room, Qin Mulin urged the driver to drive faster, then leaned back in the seat and watched the city night view outside the window.
