Due to the recent fire alarm, the entire hotel was in a chaotic state.
Although guests had returned to their rooms, people were everywhere in the elevators, the lobby, and outside the hotel entrance.
The smoke on the fourth floor was still under investigation.
Chen Feng took the elevator all the way downstairs.
The person who committed the crime must not give up after two fruitless searches of his room.
He would not stop until he found the blood cloth.
So, it was estimated that this person was still in the hotel.
Just as Chen Feng stepped out of the elevator, preparing to wander around the lobby, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a familiar figure.
He turned his head and saw the figure enter another elevator.
Was it Xu Nuo?
He hadn't left yet.
Wasn't he eliminated?
Chen Feng turned to leave, but stopped after only two steps.
Xu Nuo?
What shoe size does he wear?
Chen Feng slowly turned his head, looking at the floor where the other elevator stopped, and tried to recall some details in his mind.
Back when he was still at the Actor Cabin, on the day his room was ransacked, everyone had lunch together outside.
However, halfway through the meal, he seemed to remember that Xu Nuo received a call and then left on an excuse, staying away for about forty minutes.
He didn't return until everyone had almost finished eating.
Where did he go?
The ransacking of the Actor Cabin room surprised everyone.
Because it was very strange what kind of thief would be so bold as to steal from a variety show cabin that was currently airing?
Did they not want to live?
So blatant?
But what if this thief was an insider to begin with?
Chen Feng's doubts spiraled out of control.
He silently noted the floor where the elevator stopped, then returned to another elevator and pressed the corresponding floor button.
There were three tags on the shoe prints in his room.
They were 【Size 44】, 【Harley Motorcycle Boots】, and 【Oil Stain】, and it seemed all three tags could be linked to Xu Nuo.
His feet were large.
Wearing size 44 shoes was normal.
He often rode motorcycles, that Dodge Tomahawk, so wearing Harley Motorcycle Boots was also normal, and oil stains on the soles of his feet were also reasonable.
When the Actor Cabin was ransacked, if he had used an excuse to go back in the middle of the meal, no one would have suspected anything.
He could even easily destroy the cameras in the room.
Because he knew their locations.
So, the question arises.
If it really was Xu Nuo who had been searching his room, then what exactly did he want to do?
He wanted to find the blood cloth?
What was his connection to Luo Deyong's murder case?
Why would a promising newcomer in the film and television industry get involved in such a matter?
Unless…
The capital behind him was an external force.
That is, the actor supported by the foreign capital that Jiang Pingting and the Orchid Gate were targeting.
Chen Feng felt a sudden realization.
At this moment, he also arrived at Xu Nuo's floor.
Not long after stepping out of the elevator, he saw the door of a room ahead open.
A group of people walked out.
Xu Nuo was prominently among them.
The people around him were all dressed in suits, and one of them was a blond foreigner, about forty years old, with a full beard.
Chen Feng immediately put himself in the role of a police officer, activating his 'Fire Eyes' to look at Xu Nuo's feet.
【Size 44】 【Harley Motorcycle Boots】 【Oil Stain】 【Sweaty Feet】 【Athlete's Foot】…
It was him, indeed.
Chen Feng's gaze moved upwards, just meeting Xu Nuo's eyes.
Xu Nuo was visibly startled.
He stopped in his tracks.
The people around him also noticed Xu Nuo's unusual behavior, and everyone looked forward, all seeing Chen Feng standing in the middle of the corridor.
【Secretary】 【Bodyguard】 【Agent】 【Vice Director of Orange TV】 【Wallenberg Consortium Chief Representative in Xia】 【Peripheral Woman】 【Peripheral Woman】 【Young Model】 【Bodyguard】 【Murderer】 【Bodyguard】 【Bodyguard】…
Chen Feng's gaze swept over the crowd and he discovered a strange tag.
【Murderer】?
Chen Feng's gaze landed on that murderer.
A young man.
Wearing a baseball cap.
With an earring in his ear.
Single eyelids, a large nose, and a scar at the corner of his mouth.
His eyes were cold and sinister.
Just as Chen Feng was about to continue observing him, Xu Nuo had already blocked Chen Feng's view, greeting him with considerable warmth: “Hi, Chen Feng. Isn't everything alright now? Not sleeping in the middle of the night?”
“Aren't you also not sleeping?”
Chen Feng replied indifferently, “The show is over. Any plans for the future?”
“Hey, just keep working.”
Xu Nuo smiled carelessly, “What's a mere variety show? If I lost, I lost, and I admit defeat to you, really. You are universally recognized as a formidable person.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
At this moment, the people behind Xu Nuo all came over.
The man with the 【Vice Director of Orange TV】 tag above his head walked over with a smile: “Hello, Chen Feng, I am Xu Ming, Vice Director of Orange TV.”
“Hello, Director Xu.”
Chen Feng shook his hand.
Xu Ming said with unusual warmth, “Chen Feng, you are a promising young man. Are you interested in cooperating with us?”
“Sorry, no interest.”
Xu Ming saw that Chen Feng refused without hesitation, but he didn't mind, and turned to introduce the blond foreigner with the 【Wallenberg Consortium Chief Representative in Xia】 tag above his head.
“Chen Feng, this is Mr. Mike Martin, President of Kang Si Tan Group in Xia Country.”
Xu Ming smiled proudly: “Kang Si Tan Group is the most famous star-making dream factory in Eagle Country, you can learn about it. Currently, we are cooperating. Do you understand what I mean?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the blond foreigner Mike Martin extended his hand to Chen Feng very courteously: “Hello, Chen Feng.”
Chen Feng looked at him in surprise and shook his hand: “Mr. Mike's Xia Country language is quite good.”
“Haha, I have lived in Xia Country for twelve years.”
Mike Martin chuckled, then said, “Mr. Chen, I am very interested in you. So, how about we find a place for coffee tomorrow?”
Chen Feng: “…”
He glanced at the 【Murderer】 behind the crowd, thought for a moment, and then nodded: “Alright, Mr. Mike.”
“That's good, then, we'll see each other tomorrow.”
Mike Martin nodded with great satisfaction, then gestured to Xu Ming and the others, and only then did the others turn and leave.
As Xu Ming left, he looked at Chen Feng and smiled: “Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
Chen Feng was expressionless.
After everyone had left, Xu Nuo was the last to go, looking at Chen Feng with a half-smile and saying, “Chen Feng, I really hope we can be colleagues someday.”
“Aren't you afraid I'll push you out?” Chen Feng casually retorted.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Xu Nuo's face, and he pouted, saying, “You can only show off on stage. Off-camera, you're nothing.”
“Is that so?”
Chen Feng smiled faintly: “If I have a very pleasant talk with Mr. Mike tomorrow, will you be unable to sleep? Xu Nuo?”
“…”
Xu Nuo's face completely darkened.
After glaring at Chen Feng sinisterly, he turned and left.
After just two steps, Chen Feng suddenly said with a smile from behind him: “Xu Nuo, why didn't you change your shoes before entering my room?”
Xu Nuo suddenly turned his head and cursed angrily: “I'll f***ing not change them, what's it to you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, his expression suddenly changed.
The latter half of his words were swallowed back directly.
Seeing Chen Feng's half-smiling expression and his terrifyingly sharp gaze, Xu Nuo quickly turned his head and scurried away.
His heart was pounding.
What was going on?
Did he find out?
