Master of Deception System-Chapter 11: Where Is Li Xuan!?

Upon hearing this message, Ye Gaoyi was once again stunned.

What was Li Xuan up to?

If he wanted to leave the Zhonghai Hotel, there were only two main entrances he could use. However, after reaching the 18th floor, how could he possibly escape?

The trap had been set, and all they needed to do now was to close in on him. Li Xuan even provided them with a better space to arrest him. Room 1801 was located at the end of the corridor, so even if they forcibly apprehended him, they wouldn't disturb anyone else.

But... could it really be that simple?

Ye Gaoyi had his doubts, but he couldn't fathom what other tricks Li Xuan might have up his sleeve.

"When did he open the room?"

"Why did he pre-book the room in advance?"

He had many questions, but he knew he would receive the perfect answers once the arrest was completed.

Ye Gaoyi stopped overthinking and said, "Patch through the internal call!"

Soon, Li Xuan's voice could be heard through the playback device.

"I mean..."

"On the sofa in the lobby on the first floor..."

The voice sounded awkward and shy.

However, the hotel manager's expression suddenly changed. Due to the confidential nature of the operation, the front desk staff had no idea their phone conversation was being monitored.

The sweet voice of the receptionist was quite charming as she understood the meaning behind the call. "Are you referring to massage services?"

"Yes!"

"Each person costs 1,500 yuan."

"Wow, that's expensive!"

"Sir, our service quality is second to none. Rest assured, it's worth every penny."

"..."

"Alright then, give me two."

"Of course, sir. We require payment in advance. How would you like to pay?"

Li Xuan's voice was full of confidence this time. "Cash!"

"Alright, sir. The service personnel will be with you shortly."

The call ended with busy tones.

The atmosphere in the surveillance room turned extremely strange. The hotel manager's face turned unsightly, and he avoided eye contact with Ye Gaoyi.

Ye Gaoyi clenched his teeth. "Take note of this bill."

Then, he looked at the monitor, and veins of anger popped on his forehead.

He had thought that Li Xuan was a formidable opponent, but it turned out he was just a horny brat!

No wonder he chose to remain undercover, no wonder he selected room 1801 at the end of the hallway, and no wonder he pre-booked the room!

After receiving the scholarship, the first thing he thought of was this!

Such shamelessness!

"With such a smart brain, he could've put it to better use!"

Ye Gaoyi picked up the intercom. "Stand by! Implement the arrest five minutes after the two women enter the room!"

"Cameras are ready!"

"Kill two birds with one stone!"

Soon, two heavily made-up and seductive young women entered Room 1801.

Ye Gaoyi watched the time and marveled that Li Xuan had arranged for two at once!

Five minutes quickly passed, and Ye Gaoyi left the surveillance room and personally led the team to the 18th floor.

The body cameras were ready. Ye Gaoyi took the spare key card from the hotel manager and opened the door. Suddenly, the team rushed into Room 1801!

"Don't move!"

"Cover your heads!"

"Enforcement!"

Several loud shouts.

The two women sitting on the bed immediately covered their faces and crouched on the floor, looking quite adept at the act.

However...

There was no sign of Li Xuan.

"Where is Li Xuan!?"

Ye Gaoyi hurriedly asked the two women.

But both women were panicking and experiencing cognitive dissonance.

Seeing their stunned expressions, Ye Gaoyi was so angry he wanted to slap them.

This was the 18th floor!

Could Li Xuan have flown away!?

He asked again, "Where is the man!? Your boss!?"

Finally, one of the women reacted and pointed towards the bathroom.

At that moment, everyone turned their heads in that direction.

Somehow, everyone fell eerily silent.

Swoosh...

A clear sound of flowing water entered their ears.

Ye Gaoyi clenched his lips and rushed into the bathroom.

He opened the door...

The spacious bathroom was empty, with no trace of Li Xuan.

Ye Gaoyi's heart sank.

"Did he... escape?"

"How did he get away?"

"This can't be possible!"

Countless questions tangled in his mind.

But he wasn't defeated yet. As long as Li Xuan was still in the building, they would eventually find him!

"Captain..."

Just as he was determined to seal off the building, one of the team members interrupted his thoughts.

The team member pointed at the ceiling and said, "He probably left through here."

There were signs of a broken plastic cover on the ventilation outlet.

The break was still fresh.

Ye Gaoyi widened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and suddenly realized something.

He immediately rushed to the corridor and yelled into the intercom, "Fire escape!"

"Block off the fire escape on the first floor!"

...

At this moment, Li Xuan had already reached the 15th floor using the stairs.

His forehead was covered in tiny beads of sweat.

In the dimly lit fire escape stairwell, the sound of his fast footsteps echoed.

He had to hurry and leave the Zhonghai Hotel before they realized what had happened!

"Why... how did they find out?"

"Did Song Yang spill the beans?"

Li Xuan was full of confusion, but he had no time to think about it. All he could do now was to avoid capture!

Every move he made just now made his heart feel like it was about to jump out of his chest.

Soon, he reached the 1st floor.

...

Two team members were waiting at the entrance of the fire escape on the first floor of the Zhonghai Hotel.

They heard hurried footsteps coming downstairs and were ready to apprehend Li Xuan the moment he opened the door!

Click!

The door opened!

But when they were about to make their move, they both froze.

The person who came out...

Was not Li Xuan!?

They knew exactly what Li Xuan was wearing when he arrived today!

The person who rushed out was dressed as a waiter, only changing into a pair of sweatpants.

It was evident... that this disguise was for the plainclothes operation to surround Li Xuan on the 25th floor.

Seeing that it was one of their own, the two team members were stunned for a moment. Then one of them immediately asked, "Where is Li Xuan?"

"Hu... hu..."

The person who came down seemed exhausted. He leaned on his knees and panted heavily.

"That little brat!"

"He probably... ran out from the exit of the fire escape on some floor..."

"I came down before I could change my clothes completely..."

"I can't go on anymore, I'm exhausted..."

"You go back up and assist the captain. I'll stay here and guard..."

"Tell the captain that the kid didn't run through the fire escape. He probably left from somewhere else..."

Seeing how tired he was, the two guards on the first floor felt a bit embarrassed.

One of them immediately went upstairs, while the other remained at his post.

After waiting for a while, the exhausted plainclothes officer seemed to recover a bit.

He straightened his back and asked, "I'll get some water. What do you want, bro?"

"Just water is fine."

"Okay."
