Chapter 128: Chapter 106: Incoming Call, Past Events, Travel Permit (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
July 18, three days left until the official start of the underground auction in Tokyo.
Roppongi Grand Hotel, Unit One, Gu Wenyu, woke up from the bed.
He looked at the time on the wall, it was exactly nine in the morning, so he used the restraint belt to pull out his phone from under the blanket.
Turning off the do not disturb mode, the notification sounds "ding ding ding" started ringing non-stop.
Immediately, the historical messages received yesterday appeared one after another on the phone screen, like cars crashing into each other at a car accident scene, each message pushing the previous one aside before he could even see it clearly.
Without a doubt, these messages were all from Gu Qiye.
Yesterday, he ignored Gu Qiye all day because he felt that if "Blue Arc" wanted to find Ke Qirui, they could simply go through the Exorcist Association.
In this way, Gu Qiye could directly disclose his identity to both Ke Qirui and Su Zimai, making their communication easier.
However, it seems that Gu Qiye didn’t want to contact Ke Qirui as "Blue Arc."
Instead, he wanted to communicate with the other party using the identity of "Su Zimai’s brother", which is why Gu Qiye specifically asked Gu Wenyu for the contact details.
"Sigh... is it necessary? It’d be much easier to just reveal his identity to Ke Qirui directly," Ji Minghuan thought. "Is my brother distrustful of this woman, or does he not want Su Zimai to know he is Blue Arc?"
Yesterday morning, before disbanding the meeting, a few people from the auction’s core security team mentioned: the next time they meet would be on the 20th when they’ll start setting up the auction venue.
So early this morning, Ji Minghuan didn’t get up early to stakeout.
Gu Qiye was probably also resting in the hotel room.
Ji Minghuan casually scrolled through the phone screen.
He couldn’t possibly go through each record one by one, so he just looked at the last one.
[Gu Qiye: Send me that girl’s phone number when you wake up, okay? I want to ask her about Xiaomai.]
This message was sent at 3 a.m.
It’s obvious that the big brother had been sleepless over the matters concerning Su Zimai; the Gu Zhuo Case must be similar, and the father would probably use underground channels to investigate the relationship between Su Zimai and the Exorcist Association.
Of course, whether they find out anything is a different story.
After all, Ke Qirui’s identity in the association is quite special, so helping Su Zimai forge an identity is a piece of cake.
Ji Minghuan yawned, with tears in his eyes as he typed on the phone.
[Gu Wenyu: Sent it to you via WeChat, check it yourself.]
Ji Minghuan typed with his head down and clicked to send the message.
Then he extended the restraint belt from his fingertip, pressing it against the wall of the room. Another restraint belt extended from his sleeve towards the bathroom, fetching a cup for rinsing, and then picking up a toothbrush and towel.
The restraint sensing passed through the hotel’s wall like rain, penetrating through.
Ji Minghuan treated it like watching a morning family comedy, using the restraint belt to wash his face while observing Gu Qiye’s room.
Gu Qiye was standing against the wall, balancing a book on his forehead, reading with perfect posture.
He was wearing a thin white jacket with a shirt underneath. The sleeves of the jacket were rolled up, revealing distinct muscle lines.
His brother was still reading the same book, "The Outsider," and he was nearing the end of it. He’s been reading it for several days by now but was finally almost done.
Black Cocoon felt that he was indeed a well-behaved public figure, even dragging such a big celebrity to read a book, sparking a nationwide reading wave seemed imminent.
Gu Qiye took out the phone from his thin jacket pocket, glanced at the number his brother had sent, hesitated for two seconds, and dialed Ke Qirui’s number.
With a book in his left hand, he held the phone to his ear with his right, expressionless.
"Hello. May I ask who you are?" Ke Qirui’s voice came from the other end of the line, polite but distant.
Gu Qiye looked down at the floor, calmly introducing himself:
"Hello, I am Su Zimai’s brother. I got your phone number from my brother, and I wanted to ask about Xiaomai’s current situation."
His voice was as calm as ever.
"Oh, you’re Maimai’s brother, huh? You sound so young," Ke Qirui teased, "She always tells me her big brother is like an old man, living like an ascetic. I thought you were much older."
"My sister sure has a sharp tongue," Gu Qiye chuckled, "Gu Qiye is my name."
"Ke Qirui," she said, "Your sister is doing quite well. She’s right next to me playing games."
"So where are you now..." Gu Qiye asked, "In which city?"
"Hong Kong." Ke Qirui lied so naturally.
"Hong Kong?"
Gu Qiye paused for a moment, slightly frowning.
He had just seen Ke Qirui at the villa yesterday, and today she told him they were in Hong Kong?
Observing Gu Qiye’s expression, Ji Minghuan in the adjacent room couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
He thought, "Brother, now you see the damnable aspect of this woman hitching a free ride, right? She’s the first person I’ve disliked after playing around for so long."
"Then, could I let my sister on the phone?" Gu Qiye paused, "I’d like to talk to her for a bit. It would reassure me. As you know, she left without telling us anything."
"Alright, don’t worry, I’ll hand the phone to her right away," Ke Qirui responded, "Mr. Gu, please hold on a moment."
After washing his face, Ji Minghuan held the toothbrush with a restraint belt, brushing his teeth, while another restraint belt eavesdropped on the conversation between Gu Qiye and Ke Qirui.
