As a result of that, he got the wrong person.
“The last time you were here...” The manager frowned and squinted his eyes, trying hard to recall the last time
when Shane visited their hotel.
He thought about it for a while and suddenly he exclaimed with surprise.
“What's the matter?” Shane frowned.
The manager replied in a hurry, “Two months ago, a lady came and requested to see the security footage of that
same night.”
“A lady?” Shane blurted. “Was it Jasmine?”
“I've seen Ms. Jasmine before, it was not her,” the manager shook his head.
“Then, who was it?” Shane asked and tightened his fists.
Could it be the person who saved him?
The manager stroked his chin and dug deep into his memory. “I don't know her name,” he said thoughtfully, “but
she was very pretty.”
“What significance does this have?” Silas rolled his eyes speechlessly. “There are so many pretty women all around.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow on earth do we trace this person based on your description?”
The manager chuckled awkwardly.
Shane's lip tightened, “Alright, tell me why she wanted access to the security footage that night.”
“I think it was because that lady suspected that she had gone into the wrong room that night, so she came back for
an affirmation,” the manager answered.
“Went into the wrong room? What do you mean?” Shane further inquired.
The manager scratched his head, “Alright, so this was what happened—that lady's room number ended with a six,
and your room number ended with a nine. However, the number nine was loose at that time and it overturned and
became a six. Therefore, that lady saw the number wrongly and entered your room.”
As a result of that, he got the wrong person.
“The last time you were here...” The manager frowned and squinted his eyes, trying hard to recall the last time
when Shane visited their hotel.
Silas took in a breath of incredulity. “That's not right as well. The lady who entered the wrong room is your true
savior, but why was Jasmine the first person you saw after you regained consciousness? It couldn't be that Jasmine
entered the wrong room as well?”
“Harrison said that Jasmine unintentionally came into my room. We will only know the actual truth after viewing the
footage. Let's head to the security room now,” Shane indicated to the manager raising his chin.
The manager quickly arranged for it.
The three of them proceeded to the security room. The manager ordered his staff to show the security footage of
that night.
The staff looked around for a bit and his expression changed to one of befuddlement. “Mr. Wise, that security
footage has been deleted!”
“What?” the manager cried out in shock, “It has been deleted?”
“That's right, it was deleted completely, and it was a permanent deletion that cannot be recovered at all. This looks
like the work of a hacker,” the staff nodded.
The manager glanced toward Shane looking flustered and said, “Mr. Shane, this... “
Shane sneered, “Awesome, looks like someone is adamant that I don't find out who really saved me back then.”
“I agree, but why? It's just a person who has saved you, what inconvenience would it pose to anyone if we were to
find out? Could it be that there's something else involved that we have yet to discover?” Silas wondered while
stroking his chin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA glint of light flashed across Shane's eyes as he listened to Silas' deduction. “Maybe it is as you said, there's still
something that we do not know. The more this person in the shadows wishes to cover up, the more I want to
uncover the truth. Ask the receptionist to check the guest record for room 3606 that night. See if that information
is still available,” Shane said.
He looked at the manager pointedly.
The manager nodded and instructed the receptionist to check the guest record through his walkie-talkie.
A few minutes later, two words sounded from the brick-like equipment: Not available.
Same as the footage, the guest record was deleted too.
Shane was not the least surprised at this outcome. He had already expected it.
Everything could have already been deleted. Every single trace of the woman in the hotel, the footage of her visit
two months ago... It was all gone.
“Mr. Shane, what should we do now? All of our clues have hit a dead-end,” Silas sighed in defeat.
Shane's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. “No, this is not the end. At that time, Sean was the one who drugged
me. Jasmine was there when I regained consciousness, and Harrison knew about the whole incident. These three
know exactly what happened back then. It could be one of them who removed every single trace regarding this
incident. Send someone to keep an eye on them, alert me immediately if you discover anything.”
