Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

Chapter 26: Money is not so easy to earn

   At the corner of the street, after Irving prepared the camera, Bradley adjusted his suit and tie.

   said to Owen, "When I enter the hotel, you drive to the phone booth not far from the hotel, and when you hear the phone ringing, it means that I will come down with Henry and Annie."

   "Understood", Owen nodded repeatedly, and then listened to Bradley's advice, "Don't just wait for the call, you must always keep your eyes on the hotel door, lest Annie comes out alone."

   Owen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Joe, I am a professional photographer. As long as I look at the photos, I will never mistake the person in the photo.

   And this is 2,500 US dollars, which is enough for me to change to a Cadillac and buy a two-story small western-style building."

   "That's good," Bradley took a deep breath and calmly said, "I have to go there early and make sure first, lest Anne and Henry leave the hotel."

   A few minutes later, Li Changheng, who saw Bradley entering the hotel through the window, pressed against the door of Annie's room and heard a knock on the door of the next room.

   After a while, there was a knock on the door from his side. Through the cat's eyes, Li Changheng saw Bradley with an anxious expression on his face. He reached out and knocked on the door again.

   A series of knocking on the door made Li Changheng worried that Annie was awakened.

   walked gently to the bedroom, closed the door carefully, and then, holding a glass of red wine, stood by the window and looked at Owen sitting in the car on the street, and stretched out his head to look at the hotel.

   More than ten minutes later, Bradley went downstairs to the front desk in frustration and asked whether Li Changheng and Annie had checked out.

   You can shake your head directly at the front desk, "Sorry, sir, we can’t disclose any information about the customer,

   will let you go upstairs, or the lobby manager will guarantee you to meet our customers, other than that, I can only say sorry".

   Damn, Bradley turned around in the lobby, looking for the lobby manager who brought him into the elevator just now, but after a few laps, he found someone nowhere.

   but didn't know the manager who was on the night shift.

   Bradley sat anxiously in the lounge area, secretly regretting that he did not cheekily stayed on the sofa in Li Changheng’s suite yesterday.

   Wait, he suddenly thought of something, stood up quickly, and came to the front desk, "I want to open a room, it must be one of the two rooms 505 and 507."

   The front desk was taken aback, but even if she knew that the other party didn't really want to stay in the hotel, she still had to answer, "Sorry, sir, 505 and 507 are temporarily unavailable, you can choose other luxury suites."

   "That's it," Bradley said with a triumphant smile, "Then I will think about it again."

   After finishing speaking, he walked out of the hotel, and when he passed by Owen across the street, he screamed at him, and Owen understood and drove to the corner of the street.

   Then quickly stepped out of the car and asked anxiously to Bradley who was standing on the street, "No one was found? Did they all check out and leave?"

   "The room did not return, but I can't knock on the door".

   "That means, should the two go out early in the morning, or just don't want to bother you?"

   Owen finished muttering, staring at Bradley suddenly, "Man, did you talk to that Henry about your career yesterday?"

   "I...", Bradley patted his forehead and said annoyedly, "Perhaps Henry also read the newspaper this morning and found out the identity of Annie."

"Now what?"

"What else can be done" Bradley sighed. "Why don't we keep guarding outside the hotel, or we pray that Henry will not send Anne directly back, but take her on a tour in Rome, so Take the opportunity to approach Annie".

   In the end, one of the two continued to guard in the hotel lobby, while the other watched the car and tried his luck in the scenic area of ​​Rome. They negotiated at 12 noon, and then returned to this street corner to meet.

   And if you don't see each other at 12 o'clock, it means that one of them has found Annie.

   As for whether Li Changheng will appear next to Annie, or whether to find another handsome guy as a zero-time actor, the two of them don't care at this time.

   can get 5000 dollars, better than nothing.

   Irving handed Bradley a lighter with a bright copper casing, "Joe, you should know how to use this miniature camera, right?"

   "Yeah", Bradley nodded, and finally let Owen teach it again, took a picture, and returned to the lounge area of ​​the hotel lobby with a mood of ups and downs and expectations.

"Jingle Bell".

   The phone rang, and the three people staring at Bradley and Owen on the street reported the news of their separation, and then asked if they wanted to send someone to follow Owen.

   Li Changheng smiled and said no, and then heard the voice in the microphone saying that they saw Owen gave Bradley a bright copper lighter.

   Relying on the intuition of many years of street life, they felt that there was a problem with the lighter.

   "Of course there is a problem, that lighter is a miniature camera, which is one of your goals".

   "Understand, boss".

   Hearing that the target is determined, that is, money is waiting for the three of them, the caller said happily, "Don't worry, I promise that the film in the lighter will appear in front of you."

   "En", hung up the phone, and Li Changheng sneered upturned.

   Money can make ghosts push, but people with ulterior motives should guard against it~www.NovelMTL.com~ The principle of guarding against ghosts, he understood this when he was an orphan in his previous life.

   Time came to noon unknowingly, called room service, the hotel waiter pushed the dining car in, and began to arrange lunch in the suite.

   After a while, Li Changheng, who was standing by the window looking out, heard the phone ringing again.

   But instead of reporting from the person staring below, he himself saw the red Fiat passing by the hotel door, turning towards the corner, and then seeing Bradley leaving the hotel.

Picking up the microphone, listening to the report from the people below that Bradley and Owen are connecting, Li Changheng smiled and said, "Thank you, you can report Joe Bradley's name later, and go to the hotel restaurant in batches. I will settle the fee."

   Listening to the voice of ‘thank you’ coming from the microphone, Li Changheng smiled and hung up the phone, and then called the front desk to talk about it.

   Waiting for the waiter who arranged the lunch to leave, Li Changheng knocked on the door outside Annie's bedroom.

   waited for a while, and when no one responded, he opened the door directly, and saw that Annie was still lying on her side, sleeping a lot.

   "You can really sleep".

   smiled and shook his head, walked to the bed, looked at the quiet and peaceful Annie for a while, then stretched out his hand and scratched Annie's palm.

   Annie, with itchy palms, shook her hand and continued to sleep while muttering.

   Li Changheng, with his mouth turned upside down and enduring a smile, was suddenly taken aback, as if he had not yet confirmed whether the girl in front of him was the princess of England.

   For a moment, Li Changheng expected that Annie was not a princess, but an ordinary person.

   lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness".

   "Hmm,", a series of nasal sounds came, Li Changheng twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked helplessly, "His Royal Highness Anne?"
