Chapter 823: Using one’s body to play chess
At the same time, a pitch-black commercial vehicle, like a ghost in the night, silently glided beneath the hotel's brilliantly lit porch. Its sleek body reflected the dazzling neon lights, exuding an aura of undeniable luxury.
The lobby manager recognized the extraordinaryness of the car at a glance and almost ran out to greet it.
The man put on a professional and attentive smile and took the initiative to ask, "Hello, could you please make a reservation..."
Before he could finish his words, the heavy car door was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and the sound of the collision was particularly clear in the early morning.
A pair of black sneakers covered in mud stepped out first. The person bent down neatly and got out of the car. The moment he stood up straight, an imposing aura spread out.
"Did a man and a woman just go in? Where are they?"
"A boy and a girl?"
The manager had a strange expression on his face. Most of the people who came to their place were a man and a woman. How would he know who it was if he asked this?
However, based on his professional experience, the manager had already determined that this handsome man in front of him had bad intentions. He immediately straightened his back and displayed the professional ethics of years of work. "Excuse me, sir, hotel rules prohibit revealing guests' privacy..."
Shen Qingyu said nothing, but casually pulled out a check and asked, "What now?"
Who are you insulting?
Are these rich people's brains stuck in the door and they can't understand what people say?
The manager secretly glanced at the number on the check, and instantly bent his waist seven inches. He respectfully took the check from Shen Qingyu's hand with both hands and said, "I am happy to serve you."

Three minutes later.
Shen Qingyu took the direct elevator alone, which required special permission to start. The walls of the elevator were brightly lit, reflecting his expressionless face.
The numbers jumped rapidly, climbing to the top.
"Ding--"
With a slight sound, the elevator door slid open smoothly.
Shen Qingyu raised his eyes, and his fingertips that were playing with the room card suddenly stopped. He walked out with big strides. But after taking just two steps, his footsteps stopped.
In the luxurious and spacious lounge area on the top floor, crystal chandeliers emit a soft glow.
Someone did not hide in the room and shiver as he expected, but sat leisurely on the velvet sofa facing the elevator entrance, with his long legs crossed and his chin supported by one hand, looking like a provocative person who had been waiting for a long time.
damn thing!
Shen Qingyu laughed angrily, bit his cheek, and walked straight towards the rest area.
"Waiting for me?" Shen Qingyu sat down half-leaning on the sofa and asked straight to the point.
Shen Guiling pointed to the warm water prepared in front of the coffee table, with a gentle expression, "You must be thirsty after following me all the way. Drink it, and get out of here right away."
"Tsk~" Shen Qingyu chuckled and licked the corner of his dry mouth, "Who are you asking to get out?"
"You."
As he spoke, Shen Guiling pulled out a pistol from behind his waist. His movements were smooth and swift. The black muzzle shone with a cold and hard light under the light, pointing directly at Shen Qingyu's eyebrows!
The air solidified instantly.
Shen Qingyu narrowed his eyelids slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Why, you want to kill me to silence me after the truth is revealed? But... you have to have the ability to do that. I'm not Shen Nian."
Shen Guiling smiled, hooked his fingertips around the pistol, and turned it. With a quick movement of his other hand, he heard a soft "click" and the magazine was neatly removed. Then, he pressed his fingertips against the groove at the bottom of the magazine, and a metal object, smaller than a grain of rice, popped out in the blink of an eye and landed in his palm.
"Murder to silence the witness? Your brain can only see this far."
Shen Guiling pinched the tiny monitor between his fingertips, raised it to his eyes and looked at it carefully, then casually threw it at Shen Qingyu, "Now, do you understand the gap between us?"
Shen Qingyu closed his eyes and looked at the tracker that fell at his feet. The thing was almost weightless and he felt nothing when it hit his face, but to him, it was more humiliating than a slap in the face.
After a long silence, he slowly raised his eyes, his gaze deep, "You knew I had put something in your gun a long time ago, so you deliberately led me to the western suburbs and let me see that scene?"
Shen Guiling shook his head. "Can you think a little further ahead? For example, I bought a gun from you just to give you a chance to follow me."
Shen Qingyu frowned, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed with a faint light, "You are using me?"
There was a hint of anger and resentment in his voice. "Luring me to the western suburbs to uncover your secret was just a way for you to take revenge. What you really wanted to do was to trick me into killing Shen Nian?"
"When did you know for sure that I would kill Shen Nian?"
Shen Qingyu found it incredible when he thought about it. After focusing his eyes, he got the answer.
"It started when I told you that Shanshan asked me to take you home. You know that both Shen Lanxi and I like her, so you must have heard the hidden meaning in her words. You did all these things just because you didn't want to be caught murdering Shen Nian. Do you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife?! Just like before in the villa?!"
"Fuck! Shen Guiling, are you using all your wits and tricks on me?"
Shen Guiling smiled. He did not deny it and even explained thoughtfully: "The situation forced you and Shen Lanxi to do so. Even if you really killed Shen Nian, you can still make up for it. I'm different. As an illegitimate child, I have to be more careful."
"..." Shen Qingyu was almost amused by Shen Guiling's shameless remarks, but it was the first time that he had been schemed against so deeply, and he really couldn't laugh.
He was a little unwilling, glaring at Shen Guiling with gritted teeth, "You...came to Country S with the original intention of killing Shen Nian?"
Shen Guiling thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right."
He had long guessed that things would not go smoothly, so he specially prepared two "knives" for Shen Nian's life. One open knife was himself, and the other hidden knife was Shen Qingyu.
Shen Qingyu was still a little unwilling, "How did you know I would come to Country S?"
"I don't care whether you come to Country S or not. What I'm really worried about is Shen Lanxi. If Shen Lanxi comes to Country S, it will definitely disrupt my rhythm. You and Shen Lanxi have always been at odds, so if he comes to Country S, you will definitely not be absent. Facts have proved that I was right."
Shen Qingyu suddenly felt humiliated at being guessed, and stood up quickly. "What about Shanshan? Was she also fooled by your schemes and tricks?"
The smile on Shen Guiling's lips faded a lot. He then stood up, glanced at Shen Qingyu with his eyelids raised, and slowly walked towards him.
When the two passed each other, Shen Guiling finally spoke, his eyes mocking, "You know shit!"
As he spoke, he gently brushed the shoulder that touched Shen Qingyu, "For you idiots, it's called conspiracy, but for her, it's called using her as a chess piece."
