I run a hotel in Huangshan

Chapter 49 Secret Investigation
Han Qingyue introduced her cousin and Zhou Chenyu to each other, and Zhou Chenyu greeted Qin Wendong politely.

The three of them sat down and chatted for a while before Zhou Chenyu left. During the conversation, Qin Wendong looked Zhou Chenyu up and down, and he had a very good impression of him. He guessed that he and his sister must have a good relationship, otherwise Han Qingyue wouldn't let him wear his clothes.

Qin Wendong is a smart man. He can understand Zhou Chenyu's feelings for his sister from the look in his eyes when he looks at Han Qingyue. They are definitely not as simple as shareholders, elder brothers, or friends.

She had heard from Han Qingyue that Zhou Chenyu had invested 100 million yuan in Qingxin. Hearing about him was better than seeing him in person. Today, she finally met this young talent who dominated the business world. Compared to Lu Siqing, he was more elegant and steady, but she could tell that Han Qingyue didn't seem to have any romantic feelings for him.

Although Lu Siqing is his best friend, he doesn't want to interfere in his sister's relationship. No matter who Han Qingyue chooses to be her brother-in-law, he believes that her decision is correct.

After a day and night of rain, the leaves on both sides of the street were washed clean and bright.

The air is fresh and refreshing, with a hint of coolness.

Lu Siqing returned from a business trip and went to Han Qingyue's house to pick her up early in the morning. Han Qingyue sat in the passenger seat and opened the news app. She was amused by two news stories. Even after not watching the news channel for two days, she had become a hot topic in the local news.

A news report said that she and Peng Ruilin had a romantic relationship while filming a promotional video and their fake love turned into real love.

The other one was a photo news, which clearly showed her getting into Zhou Chenyu's car in the rain.

She turned to look at Lu Siqing, and seeing him staring intently ahead, she said nothing. The roads were slippery after the rain, and she couldn't tell him such explosive news.

However, she didn't care about this kind of news at all. Let them talk, fame brings gossip, and it was her fault.

While she was thinking, she received a message on her phone. It was from Zhou Chenyu. He teased her, "Qingyue, have you seen the local news? We've become famous. It seems we've attracted quite a lot of attention. Even in such heavy rain, we were secretly photographed."

Han Qingyue replied with a smile: "Haha, thank you for taking the photos. I don't know who he is, otherwise I would definitely give him a lunch box as a reward!"

Although Lu Siqing didn't look directly at Han Qingyue, he could feel that she was concentrating on something. While waiting for the red light at the intersection, he hurriedly looked at her.

"Who are you talking to? You look so happy!" Lu Siqing asked casually.

"Zhou Chenyu." Han Qingyue said without hesitation.

"What? You were chatting with him so early in the morning, and you were so happy! Han Qingyue, when did your relationship become so good?"

As soon as he heard Zhou Chenyu's name, Lu Siqing immediately activated the highest level of his defense system. He didn't care much about others, but Zhou Chenyu was the only one he had to pay attention to.

"Smiling? More like a wry smile! I feel like someone's been plotting against me."

Han Qingyue told Lu Siqing roughly what happened the night before.

"What? Your car suddenly broke down? And it was secretly photographed? Why didn't you tell me earlier! Your analysis is correct, the car might have been tampered with." Lu Siqing was very anxious.

"It's okay, don't worry! I've already told Xue Zhichao to check the parking lot's surveillance footage to see who approached my car yesterday," Han Qingyue consoled him. "Let's check it out at the hotel together with Xue Zhichao. I'm not sure we can't find the vandal!" Lu Siqing instinctively sped up.

Lu Siqing was very worried. Han Qingyue was in the open, while that person was in the dark. It was hard to guard against them, so he didn't dare to be careless.

Xue Zhichao was very efficient, reporting to Han Qingyue as soon as she arrived at the office. Surveillance footage showed five people entering and exiting Han Qingyue's parking spot the day before. Due to blind spots in the surveillance footage, it was unclear which of these five people had touched Han Qingyue's car and tampered with it.

"Zhichao, can you tell who these five people are from the video?" Han Qingyue pondered for a moment.

Xue Zhichao frowned slightly, thinking and analyzing, "I know two of these five people: Sun Ting from the Marketing Department and Su Bin from the Engineering Department. I can't remember the names of the other three, but I'm sure two of them are colleagues from the hotel. I've already asked someone to verify. As for the other one, he doesn't look like someone from the hotel. If he's not from the hotel, he might be a guest staying or dining here..."

"Is it possible that he is not here to stay or dine, but is trying to sneak into the hotel?" Han Qingyue asked with confusion.

"Yes, that's entirely possible! He came in just to damage your car!" Xue Zhichao also thought of this and became even more worried. Because if that were the case, the investigation would be much more difficult.

As they were talking, there was a knock on Han Qingyue's office door. Xue Zhichao went to open it. It was Xiao Li from the security department. He handed Xue Zhichao a note, "Manager Xue, these are the names of several people in the surveillance footage. I can confirm that one of them is not from our hotel."

Xue Zhichao took the note and let him leave.

"Mr. Han, I'll ask these people to go to my office and interrogate them one by one. If it's not someone among them who's causing trouble, I'll find a way to find the fifth person." Xue Zhichao said with a serious face.

"Okay, let's do as you say first." Han Qingyue agreed.

She didn't have to worry about Xue Zhichao's work. However, she had a vague feeling that the person behind the scenes wouldn't do it personally. If it was ultimately determined that a fifth person had vandalized her car, that person was likely working for someone else, not the true mastermind.

After Xue Zhichao left, Lu Siqing also expressed his thoughts, which coincided with Han Qingyue's. The two decided to wait for Xue Zhichao's investigation results before making any plans, and first eliminate the people in the hotel.

"Qingyue, I'll stay at your house these days and keep you company! Otherwise, I really won't be at ease with you. What if this guy does something weird again..."

"You will accompany me? Can you beat me?" Han Qingyue interrupted him and asked with a smile.

"I don't know, we haven't competed before." Lu Siqing was not confident.

"Look, you're not even sure you can beat me, how can you protect me? Don't worry, I don't need protection!" Han Qingyue said calmly. Although she said this, she was deeply moved. When she needed help the most, Lu Siqing was always there.

As Han Qingyue's safety was at stake, Xue Zhichao didn't dare delay even a moment. By the time Han Qingyue and Lu Siqing returned to the office after lunch, he already had preliminary findings.

An investigation into Sun Ting and four other hotel employees revealed that their cars were parked near Han Qingyue's parking space, making their presence on the surveillance footage reasonable. Furthermore, they each drove into the parking lot alone, without bringing anyone else with them.

Therefore, their attention was focused on the fifth person, a strange man in a black T-shirt.
