After Biting the Female Lead, the Vicious Female Supporting Character Turned Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 28: 028
With two such formidable figures present, the students in the group chat felt a bit more at ease.
Bai Yeyu asked in the chat, “Jiang Xuenian, can we gather in your room? Some of us are still a little scared being alone in our rooms.”
Jiang Xuenian looked at Shi Qingfan, who nodded. “Yes, you can.”
Not long after, all fifteen participating students gathered in Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan’s living room. The students from Mingxin Military Affiliated School and Leimeng Academy, who had already been eliminated, were due to return to school the next morning, so they also came along.
Dai Hongbo and Qiao Feixiang stood in the furthest corner, both looking displeased. Meng Baichun pulled up a stool and found a spot not too far from Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan.
Among these thirteen people, Jiang Xuenian paid the most attention to Rong Ling.
After Rong Ling entered, he immediately scanned everyone in the room. When he saw Jiang Xuenian, his eyes met her dark ones. Rong Ling froze for a moment, his face instantly turning red, with a strange expression.
Jiang Xuenian was puzzled and turned to ask Shi Qingfan, only to see Shi Qingfan looking at Rong Ling.
Jiang Xuenian felt a pang in her heart.
What charm did Rong Ling possess that made Shi Qingfan treat him so specially?
Soon after the students arrived, Xu Jie and the other five team leaders rushed in.
Xu Jie found Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan, then called Meng Baichun over. She said, “I’ve already contacted the school to report the camera incident. The school will send a legal team to negotiate with the hotel. Also, I just inquired with the city-wide league; tomorrow’s matches will not be postponed. Once the police arrive and remove all the cameras from the bedrooms, you should rest. Don’t be nervous, and don’t worry about anything. The school will handle everything for you.”
“Understood, Director Xu,” the three replied.
The five teachers each cautioned their respective school’s students once more, then quickly left to negotiate with the hotel.
About half an hour later, the police finally arrived.
The first room they inspected was the muscular man’s. The hotel manager followed behind the inspector, sweat constantly dripping from his forehead. The hotel manager held a handkerchief, wiping relentlessly.
The muscular man looked like a thug. When the hotel manager first heard him say there was a camera in the room, he thought he was trying to extort money and didn’t take it seriously at all. The muscular man even called the police without fear; their hotel boss had connections, so troublesome people like him wouldn’t cause problems.
Who knew that after the muscular man had been loudly complaining in the corridor for half an hour, worried people on the same floor checked their own rooms, and nearly half of the guests found cameras in their rooms.
These guests were mostly students from various Bin City schools participating in the city-wide league. If they were ordinary citizens, it might be possible to say they colluded with the muscular man to extort the hotel, but these students had bright futures and wouldn’t lie.
The hotel manager finally started to panic. Before the police arrived, he contacted his superiors, who, for some unknown reason, weren’t answering their phones.
The hotel manager watched as the police found another pinhole camera in the muscular man’s room and felt that his career was likely coming to an end.
He despairingly followed the police as they inspected room after room, discovering nearly ten pinhole cameras.
At the last room, the hotel manager pressed the doorbell. Soon, someone opened the door.
“Hello, we are from the Bin City police. We received an alarm call and are here to understand the situation. Would you mind if we checked your room for any pinhole cameras?”
“Please come in.” Jiang Xuenian stepped aside, allowing the police to enter.
There were too many people in the living room, making it inconvenient for the police to conduct their inspection. After confirming that the cameras in their own rooms had been removed, everyone bid farewell to Jiang Xuenian and returned to their rooms.
A female officer entered Shi Qingfan’s room with a detector. Five minutes later, she walked out. Jiang Xuenian quickly asked, “Officer, what’s the situation? Is there a camera inside?”
The female officer shook her head. “No camera was found in this bedroom.”
Jiang Xuenian felt a sense of relief and turned to Shi Qingfan, saying, “That’s great.”
Shi Qingfan said, “There’s still your room.”
Jiang Xuenian had already found one camera herself; there was no guarantee there wouldn’t be a second one.
Jiang Xuenian saw Shi Qingfan’s brows slightly furrowed, and her light brown eyes flickered with worry. She reassured her, “I just turned the bathroom upside down and checked every hard-to-notice spot. I didn’t find any cameras in there, so don’t worry.”
This time, the police took a bit longer. When the female officer came out, she was holding a pinhole camera?
Jiang Xuenian’s heart skipped a beat. “Officer, this…”
The female officer said, “Don’t worry, this was found deep inside your bedside table. The switch was off, so it wasn’t operating.”
“Alright, you two can rest easy now. We’ll communicate with the hotel and your school about the rest of the matter.”
Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan thanked the police and saw them off.
Returning to the living room, Jiang Xuenian thought that young girls who had just come of age would surely be scared by such an incident. So, she suggested, “Class monitor, why don’t we sleep together tonight?”
A future Beta and a future Omega sleeping together wouldn’t be a problem. If Jiang Xuenian were a future Alpha, she would definitely not suggest sleeping with Shi Qingfan.
