Meanwhile, the hotel.

"...Then, I'll go out and buy some drinks."

After packing her luggage, Hana Asahina turned her head to look at the girls in the same room, and smiled gently at them.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Ah, thank you, Asahina-san." The extroverted girl looked back at her from the luggage, and said with a smile on the spot, "I just want orange juice."

So with the leader, the others quickly answered.

"I'm just as good as her."

"Then... I am the same as everyone else."

"Okay, then please wait a moment."

So the red-haired girl walked out of the room with a smile, turned around and closed the door slowly. Then she looked around, and soon saw a waiter standing quietly at the corner of the corridor. The man was wearing a suit that seemed unusually out of touch with the surrounding environment, and was hanging a hand towel with the Asahi Group's logo on his hand. He was silently watching her direction, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

The two looked at each other, and Hana Hina showed a sudden expression on his face, and walked in that direction. And just like the schedule that had been pre-booked, the waiter turned around and walked out before seeing her walking in this direction before approaching Hana Hina.

This was a silent guidance, and the two of them just kept this kind of distance along the way, never attracting the attention of others. The waiter in a suit walked in front and led the way silently. It was not until the two of them walked around in the hotel courtyard to a small single-family building that they finally stopped, turned around and waited respectfully for Hana Hina to approach.

"Miss." The waiter reported in a low voice, "Advisor Yamauchi is already waiting for you inside."

"I see. Prepare four bottles of orange juice for me, and give it to me when I come out."

"yes."

Hana Asahina just paused as she passed by him, and then walked straight past him after giving her orders. And the waiter in the suit retreated silently after receiving the order, and quickly disappeared into the shadows of nowhere.

"Crack——"

There was a soft sound. The red-haired girl pushed the door open, and before she could get close, she heard laughter from inside.

"Miss is here? Come, have a taste of the tea I made."

"Miss Yamauchi..."

Asahina Hana couldn't help but sighed as she watched the silver-haired stunner who was half-wrapped in the quilt and dressed in disheveled clothes. Directly ignoring her words, he went to the couch and helped her straighten her clothes.

"In terms of clothing, you should pay more attention to it."

"Well, no one will see it anyway." The silver-haired woman just smiled indifferently when she heard the words. Showing a lazy expression.

"So it doesn't matter."

"How can this be considered indifferent."

Asahina Hana sat down next to her, with a particularly troubled expression on her face.

"I'm already so busy, do you still have the time to learn how to make tea?"

At this point, she followed what Tsubaki Yamauchi said before, and glanced at the tea stove on the table next to her from the corner of her eye. After shaking his head helplessly for a while, he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.

"But now is not the time to talk about this. I saw the message you sent before saying that Shenxiu knew that the hotel was related to us? What happened here?"

"Well, that's why I asked Miss to come over."

Tsubaki Yamauchi was still slanted on the couch and did not get up. Before Asahina Hana came, she was lying on her side on the bed and flipping through the hotel accounts in recent years on a tablet. After Asahina Hana came, she still maintained that posture, but moved slightly to the side, and gave a hand on the couch. Hana Asahina left a seat vacant.

"But I'm not going to paraphrase the question."

She showed a charming smile at Hana Asahina, swiped a few times on the tablet, and then handed the tablet to her.

"I recorded the process, Miss might as well watch it for herself."

"Recorded?"

Hana Asahina was a little surprised when she heard the words, and looked at her consultant suspiciously, not understanding that she had to go through the process by herself, but after seeing Tsubaki Yamauchi's half-smile expression. Still nodded and opened the video.

"Sorry, Advisor Yamauchi, I messed things up..."

As a result, the proprietress' voice came from the loudspeaker of the tablet, instantly attracting Hana Asahina's attention. She adjusted the double speed of the video screen, and looked down at the screen on the tablet without saying a word. Looking at the two people talking on the screen, they frowned slightly.

"Snapped!"

"..."

The video is not long, only a few minutes, and it will be finished soon under double-speed playback. After watching the video, Hana Asahina stared at the screen thoughtfully, flicking the progress bar with her fingers, and looked at the changing expression of the proprietress on the screen, falling into deep thought.

"I dismissed our dear lady boss, if you want to say something, you can say it directly."

In the end, it was Tsubaki Yamauchi who broke the silence, she said with a smile, and stretched out her fingers to poke Asahina Hana's straight back.

"I also want to hear Miss's thoughts on this matter. Regarding...the things she did."

"An idea?" Asahina Hana looked at the screen on the tablet and pondered: "First, she really didn't seem to be lying. It was indeed Shenxiu who saw the relationship between the hotel and us."

"Yeah." Tsubaki Yamauchi nodded, which was also her thought.

"Secondly, she does have a desire to remind each other—especially if we haven't told each other to remind each other."

Strictly speaking, this kind of behavior can even be regarded as betrayal, so Hana Asahina did not comment on the scolding made by Tsubaki Yamauchi in the video, but after a pause, he went on to say:

"However, the point you want to say is probably not whether she lied or not, and whether Jian Shenxiu saw it by herself. It's about...why did she want to remind Jian Shenxiu?"

"Yes, that's the crux of the matter."

Tsubaki Yamauchi accepted Asahina Hana's words with a smile, and continued following her words.

"As one of us, the proprietress of this hotel, a member of the Asahi group. Why does she want to remind Jian Shenxiu, who is completely opposite to her? Is she trying to betray? Do you want money, status or something else? Fact It’s impossible to mention these things, because Jian Shenxiu can’t provide them. As the chief inspector, Jian Shenxiu, what can he provide?”

"It's a sense of security." Tsubaki Yamauchi said with narrowed eyes.

"Although when it is safe, the search bureau is like a black cat that is avoided by people. But when you are really under threat, those search officers can indeed provide powerful protection."

"So...she's scared?"

Hana Asahina finally realized why Tsubaki Yamauchi had to let her watch the conversation by herself. The red-haired girl looked down at the face of the proprietress on the tablet, at her panicked face under the pressure of Tsubaki Yamauchi on the screen, at the fear and shrinking in the depths of her pupils, and subconsciously stretched out her With his white and slender fingers, he stroked the red and swollen face of the person on the screen. Then……

Squinting slightly.

"She felt that she was in danger, so she tried to take the initiative to remind Jian Shenxiu, and wanted to seek protection from that person."

"Yes." Tsubaki Yamauchi nodded slowly, with a dangerous smile.

"This is the real reason why she tried to remind Jian Shenxiu even though she disobeyed the order."
