After speaking, the innkeeper repeated himself once more, then hurried off to inform the person in the next room.
Elijah heard it too. If his identity is investigated, he'll be the first to be exposed. So, of course, he immediately got up and walked towards Preston. He said, "I have to leave right away. I can't let the police know I'm here. I can't show up outside right now."
Elijah was very anxious. After speaking, he immediately reached out to open the door to leave. But Preston grabbed his hand, his eyes sharp with a hint of displeasure, and he asked, "Do the police have anything to do with you? Are you teaming up with Ayan to plot against me?"
Elijah was also taken aback. He didn't expect Preston to still suspect him at this point. With a grim expression, Elijah said, "If I wanted to plot against you, why would I come here? If I really wanted to plot against you, wouldn't Ayan have bribed the innkeeper? Let me tell you, I can't reveal my identity now. I have to leave immediately. If Ayan finds out I came here to see you, he definitely won't protect me anymore."
After saying this, Elijah shook off Preston's hand and said, "Next time we meet, let's find a park. We can't show up at these inns anymore."
If it was a public place, there would be more opportunities to leave. If they were blocked in a place like this inn, it would be a dead end. He dared not stay for a second longer, so he hurriedly left the room and quickly walked out of the inn.
Since he didn't have a phone or any way to contact, Elijah almost walked with his head buried. There was still a distance to the supermarket where Sean was, so he strode forward, nearly penniless. Having spent some time in prison, his health wasn't that great, so he was panting from the walk.
Elijah left, and Preston couldn't stay at the inn anymore either. His identity was also not easy to scrutinize, so he could only leave the inn and wander around it. After the police finished their investigation and left the inn, he returned.
The innkeeper saw him return and couldn't help but sigh, "Brother, you really have guts." He hadn't planned to leave, and he had to stay.
But the innkeeper didn't rush him to leave. After all, who wouldn't be happy to earn money? It was just that things didn't go so smoothly for Elijah. He found Sean at the supermarket because both of them had sneaked back. It was already late, and if they went back now, with any luck, they wouldn't run into anyone. But what if they were unlucky and encountered someone?
They never wondered why no one noticed they were gone, or why they could leave the hotel so easily. They never thought that Ayan didn't trust them. This led to their current confidence and boldness, with no fear or worries.
The two even swaggered into the hotel lobby. Kian had returned to the hotel lobby ahead of them and was watching as they came in together.
They saw Kian, and their faces unconsciously showed a trace of astonishment. Their eyes also revealed a hint of bewilderment, then quickly spoke, "Mr. Reid, why are you here? How long have you been here? We just went out for a walk. We wanted to say hi, but waited for a long time and no one showed up. There was a lot of good food tonight, so we ate a lot and then went for a walk because we were full."
Kian had a faint smile on his face and didn't directly expose them. He just calmly asked, "Where did you go for a walk?"
