Zhang Lifang's room was tidy and orderly. A faint scent of a woman's perfume lingered in the air, and Yang Fei took a deep breath, feeling secretly thrilled.

Both women, Zhang Lifang and Lin Xueyi, watched as Yang Fei roamed around the room, and they felt a bit nervous.

After a while, Yang Fei looked at the ceiling and said with certainty, "Someone has been in this room; they've installed a camera."

"Ah?"

Lin Xueyi and Zhang Lifang both opened their mouths wide, looking at Yang Fei with frightened expressions, hardly daring to believe it.

Yang Fei sighed, feeling somewhat guilty as he said, "It's also my fault. I've been so busy with the acquisition and renovation of the bathhouse that I accidentally let a villain sneak in. I will take full responsibility for this matter."

A piercing light shone in his eyes as he snorted, "What audacity, daring to mess with my Lanting Hotel. Whoever it is will pay for their stupidity."

"But how can I not notice any cameras? Yang Fei, are you sure someone came in?"

Lin Xueyi's voice trembled slightly. Being just a woman faced with this sort of thing, it was impossible not to be scared.

Zhang Lifang was shivering all over, her eyes darting around in disbelief.

Yang Fei consoled the two women, "Don't be scared; don't look around so much. The other party might be watching us through the camera right now."

"If we have anything to say, let's go outside first, so we don't let the other side suspect that we've discovered the camera."

Lin Xueyi and Zhang Lifang were both sharp women; they immediately understood what Yang Fei meant. Yang Fei drew the blackout curtains, and the three of them left Zhang Lifang's room.

"Brother Fei, how did you know there's a camera in my room?"

As soon as they stepped out of the room, Zhang Lifang asked impatiently. The thought of her private life and certain scenes being watched by a strange man made her feel utterly cold and insecure.

Moreover, ever since Yang Fei had seen those photos, Zhang Lifang felt a bit unnatural in front of him, as if she were naked in front of Yang Fei.

While speaking, she didn't even dare to look at Yang Fei.

Yang Fei gave a hum and said, "I wasn't sure at first, but after looking at the position of your room and the angles of the photographs, I became certain that there was definitely a camera in the room."

"These photos can't be taken from the outside, so there's only one possibility; someone installed equipment like a pinhole camera in your room."

Lin Xueyi and Zhang Lifang stared at Yang Fei, speechless, both stunned by his words.

After a long moment, Lin Xueyi finally ventured cautiously, "Then how can we find these cameras?"

Yang Fei snapped his fingers, "Good question, follow me."

As he spoke, he turned and opened the door to Zhang Lifang's room, which was pitch dark inside because the thick blackout curtains had been drawn.

Zhang Lifang reached for the light switch, but Yang Fei said, "Don't turn on the lights; if you do, we'll be exposed under the camera."

Zhang Lifang gave a start, standing there, not daring to speak, while Lin Xueyi also looked at Yang Fei with a mix of fear and uncertainty.

Yang Fei took out his phone, activated the camera function, and began taking pictures of the room's ceiling and walls.

Just as he photographed the ceiling opposite the bed, Yang Fei laughed with a "heh" and said, "Just as I expected, look here, there's a camera."

Zhang Lifang and Lin Xueyi both crowded around, peering at the phone Yang Fei held aloft.

In the darkness, the screen of his smartphone was emitting a faint bluish glow. In the center of the screen, there was a tiny red dot, blinking and standing out starkly.

"What is this?"

Zhang Lifang and Lin Xueyi stared with eyes wide in amazement, yet they didn't understand.

Yang Fei explained, "The cameras on the market, especially pinhole cameras, all come with an infrared sensing feature. In the dark, the camera emits infrared light to provide illumination."

"Human eyes can't capture infrared light, but smartphone cameras can. So in the darkness, I used the camera function of the phone to capture the infrared light. See, where this red dot is displayed, that's where a pinhole camera is hidden."

As Yang Fei explained, he pointed to the ceiling. Through the dim light, the two women indeed discovered a probe, about two centimeters in radius, hidden between two ceiling panels.

"This..."

Although Yang Fei had prepped the two women for this discovery, they couldn't help but scream when they actually found the pinhole camera. Lin Xueyi stamped her foot in anger, "Bastard, daring to mess with my hotel, despicable."

Zhang Lifang felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, recalling her own absurd actions, the unthinkable scenes—all of them captured by this camera and observed by some unknown man...

She wished the heavens would send down a bolt of lightning to reduce her to ashes, leaving not even a trace behind.

Yang Fei looked at Zhang Lifang's soul-lost expression and could quite understand her emotions.

The camera was situated directly above the bed. Zhang Lifang certainly had many compromising scenes captured by this camera, no wonder she looked so upset.

Next, using the same method, Yang Fei found four or five more pinhole cameras in the bathroom, hallway, and in front of the vanity.

The two women were so frightened that they trembled all over. By the end, Zhang Lifang had to be supported by Lin Xueyi to prevent herself from collapsing to the ground.

She knew clearly that whoever had installed these many cameras in the room, she would be unable to prevent their malicious voyeurism, no matter what precautions she took.

Lin Xueyi thought of her own room, and Su Yinxue's room, and her heart was hung high with worry.

If someone could install such horrifying devices in Zhang Lifang's room, then it was entirely possible they could be in her and Su Yinxue's rooms as well.

The thought that her private life might have been maliciously invaded by others made Lin Xueyi feel as weak as Zhang Lifang.

Fortunately, when Yang Fei used his phone camera to check Lin Xueyi's room, he didn't find any pinhole cameras. He then checked Su Yinxue's room and also found no cameras.

Clearly, the target was Zhang Lifang.

Zhang Lifang was pale, looking distraught, as she showed a text message to Yang Fei, "Brother Fei, the perpetrator has sent over their account information. I could gather the money, even if it means going bankrupt—twenty million is doable. Otherwise, I..."

Yang Fei shook his head and stopped Zhang Lifang from continuing, saying, "Sending the money over won't do any good."

"The perpetrator is playing on your desperation to destroy the photos, they will never be satisfied with just twenty million. They won't stop until they've sucked you dry."

"Ah, then what should I do? The money Wu Wei left behind, added to the sale of Qingquan Stone merchandise, that's all I have."

Zhang Lifang's complexion grew even paler, clueless about what to do next.

"The only way now is to find out who the perpetrator is and then force him to hand over these photos and records."

Yang Fei said calmly, with a flash of fierce determination in his eyes, "Luckily, dealing with this kind of situation is my specialty."
