章節 838: Hotel Fires

It was already midnight, the best time for a good dream, but Yun Xi sat on the floor beside the door. She hugged a pillow as she leaned on the wall, trying to hear if there were any movements outside.

The soundproofing in the hotel hadn't been very well done, so the muffled footsteps outside could be heard. Yun Xi hadn't slept at all. There were a lot of noises from nearby rooms, and she had determined that most of the guests didn't leave their rooms after returning from their evening outings.

Suddenly, some footsteps stopped nearby. She could also vaguely hear a rumbling sound of water.

Then, after a few seconds, she heard the sound of a lighter being ignited. From that, she was able to determine that the criminals had gotten to work.

Soon, she heard the same footsteps leaving, and she stood up. She opened the door carefully and stuck her head around the corner and looked into the corridor just as the owners of the footsteps turned the corner.
