171: Chapter 171 Open the door, crack down on prostitution!

Yingta burst into tears, unable to say a word.

De Di started crying too.

Mi Xier was so anxious she pounded the sofa, but she didn't dare to scold them loudly, so she had to wait for them to finish crying.

Suddenly, the phone screen shook.

A doctor in a white coat entered the frame; his voice was much calmer.

"Yingta's sister, your younger sister has leukemia."

At that moment, Yingta climbed out of bed, rushed over to grab the phone, and shouted with a tear-choked voice.

"Sister, I'm done for, I'm going to die!"

"I'm going to die, I'm done for!"

Mi Xier's eyes turned red instantly, and she scolded through tears, "Yingta, shut up!"

Yingta, on the other end of the phone, didn't dare to speak anymore; she lay back down on the bed, pulled the blanket over her head, and wept.

The phone shook, as if the doctor had walked into a corner.

"Yingta's family," the doctor said.

"Yingta has acute lymphoblastic leukemia."

Mi Xier's hand holding the phone trembled, and she asked in a shaky voice, "Doctor, is it really hopeless?"

The doctor quickly replied, "For childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the cure rate is as high as 60% to 80%."

"Your sister is only 10 years old, and it was discovered very early. As long as she actively cooperates with the treatment, there is a high probability that she can be cured."

Mi Xier burst into sobs immediately. After a while, she covered her mouth and wept.

She immediately understood why Yingta had said she was done for and going to die. It must be because the treatment was expensive.

She stopped crying and asked, "Doctor, how much does the treatment cost?"

The doctor replied, "Around 500,000."

Just then, Yingta's shouts came through the phone: "I'm done for!" "I'm going to die!" "I'm done for!"

Mi Xier tried to hold it in, but she couldn't take it anymore and barked, "De Di, slap Yingta twice!"

The doctor returned the phone to De Di. The camera view returned to Yingta. A hand reached out and gently slapped her twice. She didn't dodge; she just wept and murmured, "I'm done for!"

Mi Xier stood up, opened the door, and aimed the phone camera at the sign on the door that read "Office of the Deputy General Manager."

"Do you see that?"

"I am now the deputy general manager of a company. I'm not earning a salary of eight or nine thousand a month like before."

"Is 500,000 a lot? Is it? Can I not earn that? Can I not earn it back in a year or two? What do you mean you're done for? There is hope!"

Mi Xier returned to her office, chatted with her two sisters for a while, and comforted them. De Di and Yingta's emotions gradually calmed down.

"Sister, you're so amazing now!"

"I almost jumped! That was close!"

Mi Xier's voice sounded a bit proud. "If I didn't have any skills, the five of you would have starved to death long ago."

The three sisters talked for a while. She had De Di find the doctor to ask about the treatment situation, and finally promised, "Okay, okay! By the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest, I will pay the full amount. Please arrange the treatment as soon as possible."

She hung up the video call. Mi Xier searched her phone for an unsaved number and dialed it. One ring. Two rings. Three rings. Four rings. She was so anxious she stood up and stomped her feet, tears of desperation welling up.

Suddenly, the call connected. She forced a smile, her voice soft and syrupy, "Director Song, I'm in Haicheng!"

"Tomorrow night? Alright!"

She chuckled twice, paused for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Director Song, actually, I'm a virgin."

"You don't believe me?"

"Don't judge me by how flirtatious I am in the videos; I'm actually very pure in private."

"Hehe... hehe..." She laughed awkwardly for a moment.

"Director Song, if I can prove that I am a virgin, how much more are you willing to add on top of the 300,000?"

She held the phone, holding her breath.

"A certificate from Haixing Maternal and Child Health Hospital? No problem, no problem! See you at the hotel tomorrow, then!"

She hung up the phone. Mi Xier sat stunned for a long time, then squatted down, buried her head in her knees, and wept bitterly.

After watching, Qin Xun's face was terrifyingly cold. He smashed the keyboard with his fist. He turned to look at Xia Ning. "Lend me 500,000!"

Xia Ning looked serious, her tone urgent. "When you went to buy fruit, I offered to lend her the money, but she refused to take it!"

"She just wouldn't take it!"

"She refused!"

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning and was silent for a moment. "You knew earlier, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Xia Ning looked into Qin Xun's eyes and said softly, "Lei Zhaodi is the person she wants to hide this from the most."

Qin Xun closed his eyes slightly, took Xia Ning's hand, and hurried out of the office. "We're going to save her!"

Xia Ning's voice was urgent. "But we don't know which hotel she's at."

Qin Xun pulled Xia Ning along without looking back. "Someone who can spend hundreds of thousands on prostitution would probably be at one of the best hotels in Haicheng!"

They left the parking lot. It was almost seven o'clock. The twilight had deepened. Night was about to fall.

Based on her own experience, Xia Ning ranked the best hotels in Haicheng and drove the car at high speed.

They arrived at the one she considered the best. Xia Ning and Qin Xun jogged into the lobby and walked up to the front desk.

Xia Ning took out a supreme VIP card for the hotel. "Hello, I'd like to ask if a lady named Lei Zhaodi checked into your hotel today?"

Large hotels generally have strict check-in procedures and register the identity of every guest. The young, green-looking receptionist glanced at the membership card and offered a professional smile.

"I'm sorry, we have a policy to... to keep our guests' check-in information confidential."

"It must remain confidential."

Xia Ning was getting anxious. Seeing how young the receptionist was and how poorly she recited the script, Qin Xun immediately pegged her as a novice. She probably hadn't even been on the job for a few days.

He grabbed Xia Ning's handbag, opened it, pulled out 500 yuan, and rolled it up inside. He pulled it out, waved it in front of the receptionist, and lowered his voice to a whisper.

"You only need to answer 'yes' or 'no,' and this 500 is yours."

"If you're willing to tell us the room number, I'll give you 10,000 yuan."

The receptionist hesitated and lowered her voice, "You're not lying to me, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xun immediately knew Mi Xier had checked into the hotel. He turned to Xia Ning and said, "Xia Ning, transfer 10,000 yuan to her now."

He turned back to the receptionist. "Even if you get fired, it'll be worth it."

Xia Ning took out her phone and looked at the receptionist. The receptionist was nervous; she glanced up at the security camera, then tremblingly took out her phone and displayed her payment QR code.

"Hurry up! We work in pairs, and my supervisor went to the restroom and will be back any second!"

Xia Ning immediately transferred the 10,000 yuan to her. The receptionist's face flushed with excitement.

"609."

"She checked in just 10 minutes ago."

Xia Ning immediately said, "Hello, please give us room 610."

Qin Xun understood. This hotel must use floor-controlled room keys; without a key card for that floor, you couldn't access the 6th floor in the elevator.

Soon, the room was booked. Qin Xun and Xia Ning entered the elevator in silence. As the elevator ascended, he watched the numbers on the display change: 1, 2, 3...

He cursed under his breath in frustration, "Damn, this is slow! If it were a quick shooter, they'd be done by now!"

Xia Ning didn't understand, but surely it wouldn't be that fast? 300,000 for 10 minutes—even she thought that was a bit pricey.

The elevator stopped. Both of them rushed out and ran to the door of Room 609. A "Do Not Disturb" sign hung on the door.

Qin Xun knocked on the door and shouted, "Vice squad, room inspection! Open up!"
