When the security guard who fell on the ground saw that Manager Chang was so respectful to Conor, he became tense, realizing that he might have gotten into trouble this time.
Conor glanced at the Manager Chang coldly. He remembered that he had met Manager Chang once, but he didn't know him much.
Manager Chang looked at Conor tremblingly. Seeing that the other party didn't speak, he quickly turned to look at the security guard and said, "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and apologize."
The security guard didn't dare to delay, and immediately glanced at Casey and Conor, and said, "I... I'm sorry."
He felt aggrieved. It was him who was beaten, but he still had to apologize.
"Okay, let's come to the point straightly. We are here to look for a person, a very beautiful woman who likes to wear a black dress and a veil, have you ever seen her?" Conor stared at Manager Chang and asked.
Manager Chang quickly thought about it, and said, "I seem to have actually seen such a woman, but that person did not wear a veil. She is indeed very beautiful, and impressed me very much."
"It should be the person I was talking about. Check which room she lives in," Conor said.
"Conor, please wait a minute, I'll check it out." Manager Chang hurriedly walked inside to find out which room the woman lived in.
Casey and Conor also followed in. After a while, Manager Chang found the house number of the woman he was talking about from the computer.
"She lives in room 1803. You can go straight up by the elevator from there. Conor, do you want me to follow?" Manager Chang asked.
"No, we can go up by ourselves."
Conor replied, and then walked towards the elevator with Casey.
Manager Chang heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that things related to Conor were definitely not simple. He didn't want to get involved. He was grateful that Conor didn't let him follow.
When the two people entered the elevator, the security guard walked over and asked Manager Chang aggrievedly, "Manager Chang, who are those two people? Why are you so afraid of them?"
Manager Chang glanced at the security guard and said angrily, "That was the emperor of the Underground World in J City, Conor. You should be thankful that he didn't care about you at that time, otherwise you might not be able to stay in J City."
After the security guard heard it, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he was full of fear, and he wished to ask for leave now and go back to allay fear.
...
Eighteenth floor.
Casey and Conor came out of the elevator together, and walked towards the house with the room 1803. Soon they reached the door and stopped.
Conor and Casey looked at each other and exchanged a knowing look, then Conor took a step forward and knocked on the door lightly.
Casey was ready to fight. Since the woman who deceived Edith dared to make this kind of trap, she must have support.
And they were so easy to find here, the woman must have expected it in advance, Casey thought that the woman must know that Conor's men have found here, so she had already left.
If she hadn't left yet, it meant that this woman was not afraid of Casey, otherwise she wouldn't be so bold.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps inside. Both Casey and Conor took a deep breath, thinking that this woman was really courageous. After doing such a thing, she still dared to stay in J City so calmly. Was the support she had more terrifying than the Davies family?
With a squeak, the door opened, and countless thoughts flashed through Casey's mind. When the door opened completely and he saw the person inside, Casey was stunned.
Lily was wearing a black classical long dress, standing at the door, staring at the two people outside with doubt. After seeing Casey, she was surprised.
She was trying on the dress she bought from the mall just now, and she never thought that anyone would come here to find her.
Recently, she was obsessed with black court skirts, bought many different styles. She still imagined the scene when she was wearing this skirt and meeting Casey.
But she never expected that Casey would take the initiative to find her.
Casey stared at Lily directly, and an uncontrollable anger surged up within him. Before coming here, Casey had suspected that Lily was the one who did this. After all, besides her, Casey really couldn't find anyone else who would pretend to be his first girlfriend to attack Edith.
But based on his understanding and trust in Lily, Casey had always felt that he had been thinking too much. He thought that even if Lily liked him and wanted to compete with Edith, she would never use low cunning to find a cleaner and drug Edith.
So, on the way, Casey had already excluded Lily.
But now after the door opened, Casey saw Lily standing inside with an innocent look. He suddenly felt that this girl was so hypocritical and evil. Thinking of Lily's innocence before and what she was doing now, Casey felt sick.
Of course, this may also be just a coincidence. Conor's men just found this hotel by mistake, and the number of Lily's room was told by Manager Chang. Maybe Manager Chang didn't know who Conor was talking about.
However, the long black dress on Lily made Casey unable to believe that it was a coincidence. The woman Conor and Casey described was wearing such a black dress. Lily now just didn't wear a veil on her face.
If it was a coincidence, it would be too dramatic, and Casey couldn't convince himself that it was just a coincidence.
"Casey, why did you come here?" After a short period of hesitation, Lily showed an excited expression on her face, thinking that whether Casey also cared about her as he took the initiative to find her here.
