The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 337 The Influence of the Chief of the Serious Crime Squad

During this period, The Peninsula Hotel was the oldest surviving hotel on Hong Kong Island and one of the most luxurious and famous hotels in Hong Kong Island and even in the world.

As one of the participating buildings in A Symphony of Lights, it is a beautiful landscape in itself and a must-see place for tourists visiting Hong Kong Island.

Located at 22 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, facing Victoria Harbour, the hotel has 300 rooms, which are larger than those of ordinary hotels in Hong Kong Island.

Amenities include a Roman palace style pool and health club!

After parking the car, Li Yan and Li Mengluo walked to the front desk and said, "Miss, please book a room."

"I'm sorry, sir, there are no rooms in the hotel right now. Look, there are several guests waiting for rooms here."

The front desk lady said politely: "I'm sorry, please try another hotel."

Li Yan looked around and saw three or five people lying on the sofa in the corner of the hall with tired faces, and there were large and small bags and gift boxes next to them.

During this period, many outsiders flocked in to participate in and witness the historical scene in a few days. The Peninsula Hotel has a unique location and can see the world-famous Victoria night view, so the rooms are fully booked every day.

Li Yan shook his head secretly. No matter where you are, you have to pay attention to your status. He stopped talking nonsense and threw the certificate he had just taken out to intimidate the little flat-headed man on the front desk: "Captain of the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit, I need a room now because of the case. Please cooperate with my work."

The receptionist was stunned. She picked up the ID and saw that it was indeed the title of Senior Superintendent. There was also a photo of Li Yan on it. After comparing it carefully, she quickly said, "I'm sorry, Sir Li, please wait a moment."

No matter how high the occupancy rate of a hotel is, it is impossible for it to be fully occupied.

There are always a few rooms reserved for emergencies. Especially in this case, more rooms are reserved, because there are often people with connections calling to ask for rooms, and those people are temporarily inserted. If there are no rooms, it is not a question of whether the hotel can make money, but the hotel will offend people.

Therefore, it is better to leave the room empty than not make a reservation.

However, this authority lies in the hands of the hotel management, and the front desk lady will temporarily ask for instructions based on the other party's identity.

Li Yan's identity is very clear, and he has reached the qualifications to inform his superiors to apply for a reserved house.

The pretty lady at the front desk picked up the phone and whispered, "Manager, the head of the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, Sir Li, needs a room. Take a look."

"."

"Okay, I get it, yeah, I understand."

Sure enough, as soon as the phone was hung up, the young lady said with a smile: "Mr. Li, please wait a moment"

After a while, he took out a room card and booked a room for me without even registering my ID card.

Li Yan and Li Mengluo took the room card and came to the room under the envious gaze of everyone. When they opened the room, they were very satisfied, as it turned out to be the business suite with the best location.

Come to think of it, people who really have to use their connections to get a room must be either rich or noble. If they keep an ordinary room, wouldn't that offend people?

Therefore, the one that is to be stayed in must be the best room.

As soon as Li Mengluo entered the room, she ran to the bathroom and said to Li Yan, "I need to take a good shower. I haven't had a good shower in days. I stink."

"These clothes are no longer wearable. Can you help me buy some clothes, buy me a full set of clothes? I want to throw these away and change into clean clothes."

Li Yan thought about it and nodded in agreement. He walked out of the door while Li Mengluo was looking at him with some reluctance.

Fortunately, the underground shopping mall of the Peninsula Hotel is mostly filled with world-famous brand stores. A large number of domestic and foreign tourists have flocked in during this period, and the mall is open 24 hours a day. Although it is two o'clock in the middle of the night, there is still a constant flow of people coming and going.

Li Yan easily found several women's clothing stores and matched clothes for Li Mengluo according to his own aesthetic taste.

When I passed by a boutique lingerie store, I thought about it and decided to go in.

After walking around, Li Yan felt a little headache. He didn't know if it was because the lingerie store was located inside a hotel, but most of the lingerie was quite sensual and had strong suggestive connotations.

Li Yan hesitated for a moment, but under the ambiguous gaze of the shopping guide, he chose two pieces of fabric that were not so rare and translucent. He hoped that Li Mengluo would not think that he was hinting at something. After returning to the room, Li Yan sat on the sofa bored. The water in the bathroom was still gurgling. Women's bathing time was long, and Li Mengluo had been dirty for five or six days. She didn't know when she would be able to get out.

After a hard night's work, Li Yan felt a little tired. The sofa in the hotel was soft and comfortable. When he was about to take a rest, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the bathroom.

Suddenly, Li Yan was shocked.
Fuck me
I hadn't noticed before that this side of the bathroom was made of a whole piece of floor-to-ceiling glass, which was completely transparent, and the shower curtain inside was not drawn.

When he just started washing, Li Yan thought it was frosted glass because of the mist. Now, after a long time, the mist condensed into water droplets and slowly slid down.

The glass began to reveal its original appearance. Li Linluo inside was standing under the shower with her back to him. Her curvy and well-proportioned figure was clearly visible. It was almost the same as if she was standing in front of him in person.

Li Yan suddenly felt a little restless, uncomfortable all over, and at the same time, his blood was boiling and his mouth was dry. He couldn't help but secretly peek inside.

Li Yan kept cursing inwardly, what are you doing in this hotel?

Such a design is really a test of human nature. In ordinary guest rooms, the toilet and bathroom are combined into one.

This high-end business suite is actually divided into two parts. There is a toilet as soon as you enter, and a bathroom in the room inside. The entire wall of the bathroom near the room is made of a large piece of glass, and there is a "low wall" 20 centimeters above the ground.

The bathroom outside is invisible.
At this time, Li Yan's sleepiness had long disappeared. His inner reason and the instinct of life given by God were fighting madly. One wanted to tell himself that the person inside was his wife's cousin;
Another said disdainfully, "What are you afraid of? She's your cousin, not your biological sister. Just treat her as an ordinary woman. What era is this? This woman is obviously interested in you. She didn't even draw the curtains. Isn't it just for you to see?"
Anyway, I am just a passer-by in this world and I will leave when the time comes.

You know that one's life will be ruined once you meet Yang Guo. Those are such good girls. Didn't you also say that if you were Yang Guo, you would never let down any girl?

What's more, that was the Song Dynasty, a period of strict traditional etiquette and laws. Everyone practiced monogamy, but it was only for the needs of the movies, to cater to current values, and to facilitate passing the higher-ups' review. The real situation was definitely not like that.

It's just the need of social development. If a few hundred years later, there are more women than men, in order to promote fertility, the government will require modern movies to be made, and in that movie, maybe one man will have several wives.

Li Yan swallowed and felt that the dam of his rationality was leaking little by little. The seemingly iron wall of defense was also collapsing little by little.

At this moment, Li Mengluo turned off the shower, and Li Yan instantly regained his sanity, and his boiling blood slowly calmed down. The moment Li Mengluo turned around, he quickly left the room, opened the door and went out, walked alone to the street outside the hotel, lit a cigarette, and slowly calmed down his impulse.

What Li Yan didn't know was that he was standing in the room just now. Although Li Mengluo, who was taking a bath, had her back to the living room, because the ceiling light in the living room was brighter, Li Mengluo had already clearly seen Li Yan's movements in the living room through the reflection of the dark glaze of the tiles on the wall.

In the front that Li Yan couldn't see, Li Mengluo showed a slightly mysterious smile on her face. When Li Yan walked out, Li Mengluo turned around and looked at the empty living room with a complicated look on her face.

After meeting Li Yan at the cocktail party that day, Li Mengluo was very excited, although she looked angry and upset on the surface.

But her heart was filled with joy. Later, when she mistakenly heard Huo Qiqiang call her brother-in-law, Li Mengluo knew very well that she could not hide the violent beating of her heart and the shame and joy in her chest.

It turns out that in the long recollection and longing, that naughty figure has unknowingly walked into the depths of my heart, making me full of curiosity and yearning.

If I never meet again in this life, that's fine. This figure will only become a memory of mine, suppressed deep in my heart, and slowly disappear with the passage of time.

But God unexpectedly let her meet Li Yan again. He was elegant, gentle, mature and graceful, and he also had the shadow of the naughty boy he was in his youth. The perfect combination of the two made Li Mengluo's heart beat fast.

At that time, Li Mengluo was so happy that she seemed to be exploded by the surprise. Perhaps this was the fate given to her by God. Li Mengluo was determined to seize this opportunity.

But fate was cruel. Before she could be happy for ten minutes, Huo Qiqiang suddenly appeared in front of her and shattered her beautiful dream before it even began.

This was so cruel that Li Mengluo felt that God was playing a huge joke on her. She was so happy and sad at that time that she felt that her soul was sucked out at that moment.

She didn't know how she got into the car in a daze. She drove home like a zombie with empty eyes. She had no memory of the whole process. It was not until she was dragged out of the car by several men with vicious faces and bad intentions that Li Mengluo returned to normal.

After struggling desperately, his head was spinning and then he lost consciousness.

After waking up again, Li Mengluo discovered her situation and immediately sighed in despair, "Oh my God."
What evil have I, Li Mengluo, done in my life? Are you trying to make me happy for the last time before you punish me?

In those dark days when she was living a life worse than death and filled with fear, Li Mengluo thought about her own fate. Maybe she would be beaten to death and buried in some unknown pit.
Looking back on my life, the thing I regret most is that I did not make clear to Li Yan my feelings and how much I miss him.

When the robbers came to ask for her family's contact information, Li Mengluo discovered that her cell phone was in her handbag, which was placed in a locker at the cocktail party. She was so confused that she forgot to take it before leaving.
