Li Rui looked at his watch. It wasn't even eight yet. At this time, Han Shui and Li Bing should be entertaining some important person from the province. By the time the banquet ended, it would be nine. That meant that he and Yang Xiang still had an hour to rescue the girls. Since they had already confirmed their location, it should be relatively easy to do. Thinking of this, he no longer worried. He rubbed his stomach and thought to himself, Where can I find food? I'm starving.
"Knock … knock!"
Two minutes later, a window on the back floor of Yihong Restaurant was suddenly opened. It made a sound that was neither loud nor soft.
Li Rui's ears twitched and he looked up. He saw a figure slowly crawling out of the window sill. After all of them had crawled out, the person squatted on the window sill and slowly extended her legs downwards. When both of her long white legs were fully extended, she lightly jumped down and landed on the ground outside the window. Her figure was slender and tall, and she had long hair. Who else could it be but Yang Xiang?
Li Rui was overjoyed. He wanted to get up and greet her, but he was afraid that he would be discovered. He stood still and waved at Yang Xiang. Yang Xiang didn't look at him. She looked left and right to make sure no one was around. She turned around and closed the window. She quickly walked to where he was hiding.
"Here!"
Yang Xiang walked in front of Li Rui and extended her hand to him.
Li Ruiqi asked, "What are you giving me?" Yang Xiang said, "You'll know when you take it."
Li Rui stupidly said, "Oh." He reached out to take it. Yang Xiang let go and a handful of nuts fell into his hand.
Li Rui picked one up and felt it. He cried out, "Pistachios?"
Yang Xiang said, "Yes, I took them from the fruit tray in the room. Eat some to fill your stomach. It's better than not eating anything."
Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't help but agree with her suggestion. The two stood there and ate more than ten pistachios. It was fine if they didn't eat them, but they regretted eating them. The more they ate, the hungrier they became. Especially Li Rui. His stomach was rumbling with hunger, and his growling was almost as loud as thunder.
Li Rui rubbed his stomach and said, "You should have passed by the kitchen just now and taken out a roasted chicken."
Yang Xiang said, "Cut the crap. Let's talk about dinner after we rescue them. Let's go back the way we came. We'll return to the parking lot and head west. We'll follow the west wall all the way to the back of Hundred Flowers Park. After that, it'll be the same as before. You wait for me outside, and I'll go in to search for the girls. "
Li Rui nodded, and the two of them turned north. After walking for a few dozen meters, they passed through the bushes, lawns, and roads, and returned to the parking lot. After that, they moved up and down like ghosts in the parking lot. Soon, they reached the west end of the parking lot, and just happened to run into the security patrol team. The two of them could only squat in the shadows, motionless.
After waiting for about three minutes and seeing that the team was far away, the two got up again, walked out of the parking lot, crossed the road, and soon arrived at the west wall. There were no trees planted on the west wall, so it was completely bare. Fortunately, it was dark and quiet enough. If the two of them crouched down, it would be difficult for anyone to discover them.
"Hide well. I'm going over!"
Yang Xiang was very impatient. As soon as she reached the location, she wanted to take action.
Li Rui grabbed her hand and said in a serious tone, "Be careful!"
Yang Xiang's reaction was very big. She shook off his hand and said angrily, "Do you want to die? Why are you grabbing my hand?"
Li Rui said, "I grabbed it on the way. Otherwise, where would I grab? Your skirt or your thigh? "Yang Xiang raised her hand and pinched his arm. She walked away quickly in her high heels.
Li Rui watched her leave with a smile on his face. He did it on purpose just now, and he had bad intentions. He deliberately wanted to grab Yang Xiang's hand. Before tonight, he had never had such evil thoughts about Yang Xiang. But tonight, he didn't know if it was because Yang Xiang's cross-dressing was too attractive, or because the fragrance of her uniform was too alluring, but he couldn't help but want to get closer to her. But after grabbing her hand, he quickly felt guilty. She saw him as a good friend, but he actually took advantage of her. This was really unfair. But he couldn't blame himself. Who asked her to be so seductive tonight?
But he didn't have time to think about it. There were more important things at hand. He raised his head and looked at the Hundred Flowers Park building.
The Hundred Flowers Park was completely different from the Yi Hong Brothel. The Yi Hong Brothel was a combination of modern and classical architecture. It was a small rectangular building with a canopy and golden glazed roof tiles. At first glance, it looked like a palace. Although the Hundred Flowers Park was also built in the Chinese style, its shape was a little strange. It looked like a pagoda but not a pagoda, and it looked like a pavilion but not a pavilion. To put it simply, it was an octagonal three-dimensional pagoda with an octagonal canopy at the top. From afar, it looked like an ancient Stargazing Tower.
This strange building was more than half the size of the Yi Hong Brothel. It was only four stories high, and the number of rooms inside was even fewer. There were at least forty of them. Li Rui estimated the number of rooms in the building. Although it was said to be on the same level as the Yi Hong Brothel, it was actually half a level higher. This could be seen from the fact that the girls were sent to this building. They were there to entertain that big shot from the province. In other words, Han Shui and Li Bing would have arranged for that big shot to stay in this building instead of the Yi Hong Brothel. Couldn't they see how high-class this building was?
Li Rui looked up at the top of the building and thought to himself, "This building is four stories high. Maybe there's an attic below the roof. But Han Shui and Li Bing couldn't have arranged for that big shot to stay above the fourth floor. It's too high. Who would want to climb that high after drinking? They also couldn't have arranged for him to stay on the first floor. The first floor was too noisy and too low. It wasn't elegant and quiet enough. Based on this analysis, it was very likely that they would have arranged for him to stay on the second or third floor. Thinking of this, Yang Xiang said, "Don't worry about the first and fourth floors. Just check the second and third floors."
Yang Xiang asked curiously, "Why?"
Li Rui explained his analysis. Yang Xiang said, "It sounds reasonable. Okay, we'll listen to you first. If we can't find him, I'll deal with you."
Two minutes later, Li Rui heard Yang Xiang say, "I've snuck into the building. I'm going straight to the second floor."
Li Rui asked, "Are there many rooms in the building?"
Yang Xiang said, "I haven't looked carefully yet. The layout of the building is a bit strange. I can only see the hallway but not the door for now. The stairs are strange too. It's like the stairs in the stone pagoda. There's a huge pillar in the middle of the hall. Wait a moment …"
After a while, Yang Xiang told him about her latest findings. There were nine rooms on the second floor of the building. It was estimated that every floor had the same number. She didn't know if there was a reason for this number. The paths in the building were twisted and turned, making it difficult for people to get used to it. The layout of the rooms was also very strange. It seemed to be designed according to some kind of formation. It was easy for people to get lost in it. There was no one in the building. It was very quiet. Yang Xiang asked Li Rui if he wanted to go in and take a look. If he was willing, she would find a room on the first floor and open the window for him to jump in.
Li Rui was afraid that he would meet someone he knew. He was also afraid that there would be some changes outside. Therefore, he didn't go in. He stayed outside to observe the situation at the entrance of Hundred Flowers Park. He moved as close as he could to the north-south line of Hundred Flowers Park's main entrance. He didn't stop until he was about to be discovered by the security patrol team. He crouched behind a row of low shrubs and observed the situation at the square between Hundred Flowers Park and Crystal Pavilion through the gaps between the leaves.
Yi Hong Building and Hundred Flowers Park's second floor faced each other from east to west. In the middle of the building, there was a glass wall. It was a magnificent palace-like building. It was the Crystal Pavilion. Opposite the Crystal Pavilion was a large musical fountain. There was a distance of fifty to sixty meters between the second floor and the Crystal Pavilion. The ground was paved with marble, forming a square. The square was illuminated by laser lights. Under the night sky, the lights were dazzling. Water columns danced in the air, accompanied by elegant music. It was an extremely beautiful place.
Li Ruixin said that Han Shui really did make a fortune in construction. Even a casual building could be so grand.
"Oh no!"
Yang Xiang's exclamation suddenly rang in his ears. Li Rui hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Xiang said, "The rooms are all locked. It's also electronic. You need to swipe a card. I can't open them at all. This is completely different from Yi Hong Building. I can open all the rooms on the first floor. "
Li Ruixin's head sank and said, "If you can't open the door, how are you going to find those girls?"
Yang Xiang said in a flustered tone, "Yeah, what do we do? Hurry up and think of a way. "
Li Rui's brain worked. He began to think of a solution. Since you need to swipe a card, can't you just find the main access card? But where can you find the main access card? Jiang Hao and Zhang Ting Ting probably didn't know about this, not to mention that they couldn't even find the two of them now, so how could he and Yang Xiang know? Uh … right, there's one more way. Since the building has electronic access, can't you just turn off the main access card? But where is the main access card? Is it outside or inside the building?
Yang Xiang waited for a while. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she said anxiously, "Hurry up and think of a solution."
Li Rui said, "Don't rush me. I'm just thinking. Uh, can you find the main access card? If you can find the main access card and turn off the power, all the electronic access cards will naturally be unlocked. "
Yang Xiang sighed bitterly, "Where can I find the main access card? I'm not familiar with this place at all. Just looking for the rooms is already confusing me. It's like a maze. Please, can you think of a more reliable solution? "
Li Rui thought for a while and said, "A more reliable solution is to wait for that important person to finish his meal and come back. You can keep an eye on him in the building and find his room. Naturally, you'll be able to find the girls. But I highly suspect that Han Shui and Li Bing will arrange for all the girls to be with him. If they're not in the same room, it'll be even more troublesome. It's a pity that I didn't ask Chen Zhimin how many girls there are. "
Yang Xiang said, "Your solution isn't reliable either. Neither of us knows that important person. How can we keep an eye on him?"
