Chapter 442: Catching an Affair at the Hotel

Fate is a strange thing. Chen Yang had just bought a Mercedes G500 from Wang Bingbing during the day, and that night he ran into her at the hotel.

What's more, the person who went to the hotel with Wang Bingbing wasn't his old friend from his previous life.

Of course, when she saw Chen Yang, Wang Bingbing was also surprised. After all, she had just slipped him a business card that day, and in the blink of an eye she was checking into a room with another man.

Chen Yang suddenly felt a bit sorry for his buddy, who had been wearing a green hat for eight years!

"Miss Wang, you……don't you have no boyfriend?"

Wang Bingbing blushed and lowered her head. At that moment, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Meanwhile, the middle‑aged man beside her looked at Chen Yang displeased and said, "Young man, if you have nothing to do, please don't block our way."

Chen Yang had no interest in arguing with this man, so he simply stepped aside.

However, he still deliberately paid attention to the room where that man and Wang Bingbing were staying.

After they went in, he walked to the convenience store outside the hotel, bought an IC phone card, then found an IC phone booth on the roadside and dialed a familiar number.

Chen Yang wasn't sure if that number even existed in 2003; he just dialed it on a whim. To his surprise, the call actually went through.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xia Ye?"

"This is Xia Ye. May I ask who you are?"

"Who I am doesn't matter. Your girlfriend, Miss Wang Bingbing, is drunk; please come to Room 8016 of the XX International Hotel to pick her up."

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

After Chen Yang hung up, he immediately returned to the hotel.

The bay window of his guest room happened to overlook the scene outside the hotel entrance.

After waiting about twenty minutes, he saw a tall man in black clothing quickly rush to the hotel entrance on a 28‑inch bike in the night.

He tossed the 28‑inch bike aside at the hotel door and then dashed inside like the wind.

That black silhouette was a bit slimmer than Chen Yang remembered, but he was still certain it was his old friend Xia Ye from his previous life.

Although it felt a bit underhanded to spy on his buddy catching someone in the act, Chen Yang quickly took the elevator to the ninth floor, then walked from the ninth‑floor safety corridor down to the eighth floor.

However, he didn't go straight into the eighth‑floor hallway; instead, he waited a moment in the safety corridor.

Only a few minutes later, he heard hurried footsteps passing through the safety corridor, followed by a forceful pounding on a door.

"Bingbing, are you in there?"

"Bingbing, hurry up and open the door!"

Chen Yang thought that whenever Xia Ye dealt with matters of the heart, his IQ went offline.

Why not just smash the door open without a word and catch them both in the act?

Now, by shouting like that, he's given himself away—how could they possibly open the door?

Chen Yang really wanted to go out and give him some advice, but after hesitating a bit, he gave up.

He and Xia Ye will still have to deal with each other in the future. If this simp doesn't mind Wang Bingbing giving him a green hat, then wouldn't he end up looking like the villain?

So Chen Yang went to the safety corridor on the seventh floor, took the elevator down to the hotel lobby, then went to an IC phone booth by the road and dialed the police.

"Hello, I want to report that the XX International Hotel is offering special services."

"Sir, the XX International Hotel is a legitimate establishment; please don't file a false report, or we will deal with you according to the law."

Chen Yang quickly hung up.

Although he didn't fear being caught by the Deep City police given his current status and connections, it's still best to avoid that kind of place if possible.

Since he couldn't help Xia Ye, Chen Yang could only return to the hotel to continue peeping at the scene of the catch.

Unexpectedly, Xia Ye had returned to the hotel lobby and was arguing with the lobby attendant.

"My girlfriend was drugged by a bad guy and brought to the hotel to open a room. If you don't go open the door and something happens, I'll sue you and the hotel together!"

"Sir, please don't get worked up. Our hotel has no check‑in record for your girlfriend. Could you be mistaken?"

"Impossible, her phone won't go through—she must have been drugged. If you don't open the door, I'll call the police!"

"Sir, please stay calm; I'll first consult the manager."

Chen Yang didn't dare get too close; he just stood at the hotel entrance watching the excitement. Not long after, he saw the middle‑aged man who had checked in with Wang Bingbing walk out of the elevator.

He didn't look at Xia Ye arguing with the attendant in the lobby; instead, he headed straight for the hotel exit.

How could Chen Yang let him leave so easily? He stepped forward and said, "Boss, how did you come out so fast? Why didn't Miss Wang Bingbing come out with you?"

The middle‑aged man glanced quickly at Xia Ye, not expecting to lock eyes with him.

"Are you the one who got my Bingbing drunk?" Xia Ye lunged at the middle‑aged man; being taller and stronger, he hoisted the man up in one motion.

"Let me go, or I'll call the police!" The middle‑aged man hadn't expected Xia Ye's strength to be so great; he struggled and shouted loudly.

Chen Yang immediately interjected on behalf of the middle‑aged man: "Brother, you've got it wrong. Miss Wang Bingbing wasn't drunk; I saw her with that boss and she was completely sober, not having touched a drop."

Xia Ye stared for a moment, but quickly recovered and launched a furious barrage of blows at the middle‑aged man.

From the lobby came a pig‑squealing wail, which quickly drew a crowd of onlookers eager for the spectacle.

Worried that someone might get killed, the hotel staff immediately summoned security to pull the two apart.

After finally shaking off Xia Ye's entanglement, the middle‑aged man hurriedly ran out of the hotel.

Xia Ye still wanted to chase after him and keep fighting, but security forcibly held him back.

Seeing the middle‑aged man get farther and farther away, Xia Ye could only give up struggling.

Once security released him, he immediately rushed to the elevator and ran up to the eighth floor to look for Wang Bingbing.

Just as his silhouette disappeared into the elevator, Wang Bingbing emerged from the safety corridor. She was wearing black sunglasses; as she passed Chen Yang, she slightly lowered her head and then hurried out of the hotel.

Chen Yang did not stop her.

Because he only wanted Xia Ye to recognize this woman's true nature early on, rather than be laughed at in public.

After Wang Bingbing's figure vanished into the night, Chen Yang also didn't go look for Xia Ye; instead, he took the elevator back to his own guest room.

In his previous life, he and Xia Ye only met two years later. They rented rooms in the same building of a community, and were even neighbors on the same floor. They ran into each other every day going to and from work, and over time became close friends.

At that time, Chen Yang had just switched to a job as an insurance company salesperson, leaving early and returning late each day, and for a whole month he could barely sell a few policies. After Xia Ye learned of his difficulties, he pulled his own company's colleagues and clients to buy insurance for Chen Yang. In just one month's time, Chen Yang went from an ordinary salesperson to a department manager.
