Chapter 57 Still Don't Recognize Me

"Remember to come early at eight tonight!"

A look of triumph immediately appeared on Liu Xinlan's icy face.

Now she completely had Jiang Chenfeng under her thumb!

"Xinlan, you..."

Jiang Chenfeng was just about to say something.

His phone in his pocket rang abruptly.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Tang Niu, the manager of the Haoting International Hotel.

Jiang Chenfeng answered the phone immediately, and Tang Niu's panicked voice came from the other end: "President Jiang, something happened at the hotel! Someone died inside!"

"Oh? I'll be there right away!"

Sensing that something was wrong, Jiang Chenfeng hung up the phone.

He said to Lan Xiaodie, "Let's go! I'll take you to the hospital first; I have some urgent business to attend to!"

"Since you have urgent business, I'll take her to the hospital instead!" Liu Xinlan said.

Jiang Chenfeng thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright then! Xinlan, I'll leave it to you!"

...

Haoting International Hotel.

Jiang Chenfeng arrived at the scene of the incident and saw a female corpse lying naked in the bathtub.

"President Jiang, I have truly failed your expectations! I just took over this hotel, and such a thing has already happened. This incident will definitely damage our hotel's reputation." Tang Niu hung his head in shame, speaking with deep self-reproach.

Jiang Chenfeng's gaze swept over the female corpse's body, and he quickly noticed a special blood-red mark on her left chest.

The moment he saw this mark, a look of realization flashed in his eyes!

"Don't blame yourself too much! This wasn't something you could control. The person died in a suite; you couldn't possibly monitor the activity in these suites twenty-four hours a day." Jiang Chenfeng reached out and patted Tang Niu's shoulder, offering a word of comfort.

Just then.

The forensic examiner also arrived at the scene and began to investigate the cause of death.

After a full hour of examination, the forensic examiner reached a conclusion—the deceased had committed suicide!

Although the forensic examiner had reached a conclusion, only Jiang Chenfeng knew in his heart that this woman had been murdered.

And only one of the Seven Great Assassins under Protagonist Lin Tian would be capable of such a feat.

But he didn't say anything!

Since the forensic examiner had already made a final verdict, there was no need for him to go looking for trouble.

It was just that he didn't quite understand why Lin Tian would send one of his assassins to the hotel to kill this stranger.

"President Jiang, the person in charge of the Tianlong Group called again just now, demanding that we sell the Haoting Hotel to them!" Tang Niu said respectfully.

"Oh? Could it be..."

Jiang Chenfeng vaguely felt that these two incidents seemed to be connected!

He walked out of the room, preparing to head to the general manager's office.

But just as he pressed the elevator button, he saw two middle-aged men standing inside the elevator.

These two middle-aged men, one tall and thin, one short and fat, looked very strange!

The two had cigarettes in their mouths, puffing away in the elevator, filling the entire space with smoke.

This resulted in no one else being willing to share the elevator with them!

Seeing this strange pair in the elevator, Jiang Chenfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling some details from the original novel.

For a few chapters, Protagonist Lin Tian went to the underground black market of Yun Province and encountered two scoundrels who drank, gambled, whored, and committed every evil deed!

Those two guys were not ordinary people; they were the bosses of a certain organization in the underground black market.

These two provoked Lin Tian and were eventually slapped to death by him!

If nothing went wrong, the two guys in front of him should be the bosses of that underground black market organization.

Because their features were too obvious: the tall, thin one and the short, fat one were named Gao Hu and Fat Dragon, respectively!

The Haoting International Hotel was not a place that ordinary people could afford; Gao Hu and Fat Dragon were indeed qualified to step in here and could afford the high consumption.

"Smoking is not allowed in the elevator, you... cough, cough, cough!" Seeing Gao Hu and Fat Dragon puffing away, Tang Niu was instantly furious and shouted.

Before he could finish, Gao Hu blew a puff of smoke at him and said mockingly: "No smoking allowed? Where does it say no smoking?"

Fat Dragon sneered: "You manage the heavens and the earth, yet you're managing us brothers? Why don't you go ask around and see who we are! If you don't want to die, get lost right now and stop yapping here!"

"You..."

Tang Niu was furious and incensed.

But he was grabbed by Jiang Chenfeng, who said to Gao Hu and Fat Dragon: "Sorry! My brother here just likes to meddle in other people's business. Please, do as you please; don't mind us!"

"President Jiang..."

Tang Niu didn't quite understand Jiang Chenfeng's actions, wondering why he had to be so subservient to such people.

With Jiang Chenfeng's status as the Son of the Richest Man, wouldn't crushing these two be as simple as crushing an ant?

Jiang Chenfeng pressed the elevator button, closed the door, let out a long sigh, and said: "Something just happened in the hotel; we can't have any more trouble."

The two found another elevator, got in, and headed toward the general manager's office.

Just as they reached the office floor, they saw a man in his thirties who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

He saw Jiang Chenfeng and Tang Niu, a meaningful smile curled at the corners of his mouth, and he walked over to meet them, saying: "Are you President Jiang and Manager Tang?"

"Who are you?" Tang Niu asked in confusion.

Jiang Chenfeng's pupils constricted; he recognized this guy in front of him as Alioth, one of the Seven Great Assassins under Lin Tian!

The Seven Great Assassins under Lin Tian were codenamed after the Big Dipper, consisting of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Heavenly Pivot, Tianquan, Yuheng, Alioth, and Yaoguang.

This guy in front of him was Alioth, who had the lowest strength.

Although Alioth's combat power was at the bottom among the Seven Great Assassins, that was still only at the bottom among the Seven Great Assassins.

If it were for ordinary people, his combat power was absolutely terrifying.

"What? You two don't know me yet?"

Alioth chuckled and introduced himself: "Then let me introduce myself! I am Sixth Dragon, the person in charge of the Tianlong Group, and I've come here specifically to discuss the purchase of your hotel with you two."

Tang Niu refused without hesitation: "We will not sell the hotel; you'd better leave quickly! Even if your Tianlong Group has been thriving recently, our hotel is backed by the Jiang Family, the richest man of yun province, and we are not afraid of your Tianlong Group!"

Sixth Dragon smiled dismissively and grinned: "Manager Tang, why are you in such a hurry to chase people away? Don't you want to hear what I have to say before making a decision?"

"What do you want to say?" Tang Niu frowned.

"Do you know who that woman who died in your hotel is?"

"What kind of person?"

"She was one of our people from the Tianlong Group! Now that she has died in your hotel, shouldn't your hotel be held responsible?" Sixth Dragon said calmly.
