Hearing this voice, Ma Xiaotong instantly stopped in her tracks.

She turned her head and saw it was the front desk lady at the hotel.

This late at night, is the receptionist still awake?

"It's me."

Ma Xiaotong's icy voice came through.

The front desk lady seemed taken aback by Ma Xiaotong's cold demeanor.

But still said:

"Hello, Miss Ma, Mr. Guo Hao asked me to inform you that if you can't find him when you get back, please go to the restaurant where you had dinner the other day. The private room number is 1008!"

A message from Guo Hao?

Ma Xiaotong was slightly taken aback.

But she quickly nodded to the front desk lady and said, "Thank you."

Then she turned around and dashed outside.

However, she felt a sense of relief inside.

It seems that Guo Hao had prepared in advance.

No need for her to search the whole world for him and delay her brother's matters.

But how did he know I wasn't around?

Could it be, was it him who entered my room earlier?

"No."

As she dashed, Ma Xiaotong shook her head:

"That human aura wasn't Guo Hao's, it was someone else!"

It wasn't long.

Ma Xiaotong appeared at the entrance of a restaurant.

This restaurant was still operating late at night.

After entering the restaurant, before the waiter could speak, she took the initiative to say:

"I'm looking for someone, private room 1008!"

"Alright, Miss, please follow me!"

Clearly, Guo Hao had made arrangements in advance.

The waiter immediately led Ma Xiaotong to the door of room 1008.

He considerately knocked on the door for Ma Xiaotong.

Guo Hao's voice came from inside:

"Please come in!"

After the waiter opened the door for Ma Xiaotong, she entered the private room.

As soon as she stepped in, Ma Xiaotong's gaze paused slightly.

In addition to Guo Hao, there was a middle-aged man in a suit in the room.

Ma Xiaotong's eyes immediately locked onto this man!

Because the aura of this man was the same as the one she felt in her room!

The man who entered her room earlier, it was him!

As she looked at this man, the man was also looking at her.

Upon seeing her, a hint of vigilance and tension appeared in the man's eyes.

He even seemed to sit upright with a readiness for confrontation!

This made Ma Xiaotong's mind stir slightly.

However, her expression showed no change, her pupils remaining misty gray.

So the man couldn't discern anything.

Sitting across from them, Guo Hao instinctively glanced at the man beside him when Ma Xiaotong came in.

But he quickly stood up, cautiously saying:

"Miss Ma, you've arrived."

Guo Hao's voice drew Ma Xiaotong's gaze back to him.

Reminding her of her main purpose for coming here, she directly said:

"My brother asked me to inquire if you've connected with...."

Originally, Ma Xiaotong intended to ask if he had connected with Shen Hanshan's people.

But seeing the current situation, it seemed they had already made contact, so she got straight to the point!

"My brother wants you to, with the people sent by Shen Hanshan, officially close the net at midnight!"

Upon hearing this, a clear excitement appeared in Guo Hao's eyes. He quickly asked:

"Forensic Doctor Zhang is ready?"

Ma Xiaotong nodded and then said:

"I just came to tell you this, I have to go back."

After saying that, without any pleasantries, she turned around and left.

After leaving the room, Ma Xiaotong turned to look back at it.

The target was, of course, the strange man she had never met before.

Her thoughts sank slowly, murmuring to herself:

"Could it be.... someone has already discovered my true existence?"

"No, I need to discuss this with brother."

With that, she dashed out of the restaurant, heading back to the hotel.

Although someone might have discovered her existence, she certainly couldn't just abandon her physical form on the roadside.

She still had to preserve it properly.

And in room 1008.

As soon as Ma Xiaotong left, the strange middle-aged man stood up:

"Is it her?!"

His voice seemed anxious.

But Guo Hao quickly said:

"Calm down first!"

"I know your department handles such things, but... I think you should discuss Miss Ma's matter with Forensic Doctor Zhang first."

Upon hearing this, his eyes darkened slightly, and he said, seemingly indifferent:

"Why discuss with him? Eventually, he'll also face our investigation."

"As for the one just now.... we'll definitely send her where she belongs!"

As he spoke, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

This attitude made Guo Hao's expression gradually gloomy, looking at the strange man in front of him with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

His voice turned a bit cold as he said:

"I still trust only Forensic Doctor Zhang to send her where she should go!"

"You guys... hmph..."

Guo Hao's tone surprisingly showed a hint of contempt for the man.

This made the man pause, looking at Guo Hao with a frown and coldly said:

"What do you mean by that?!"

"I mean nothing!" Guo Hao casually waved his hand:

"You heard it yourself, now is not the time to worry about Miss Ma's matter. Don't forget, your supervisor sent you to coordinate with Forensic Doctor Zhang's operation!"

"Now you've heard the signal from Forensic Doctor Zhang, it's time for you to get to work!"

"You!" The man seemed hurt by Guo Hao's nonchalant attitude, his eyes showing clear anger. At this moment, he pointed directly at Guo Hao and shouted:

"With your rank, you aren't qualified to speak to me like that!"

"Hmph!"

After snorting coldly, he directly turned around and left.

But to this threat, Guo Hao seemed utterly indifferent, calling out to the man's back:

"Don't forget the task, otherwise should the leadership blame you for delaying Forensic Doctor Zhang's operation, I won't be held liable!"

For some reason, Guo Hao's voice carried a mocking tone.

The man evidently knew what was most important.

Though aggrieved, he couldn't shirk the task given by the leadership!

After the man left, Guo Hao seemed to liberate himself further.

With a disdainful expression:

"What's with that arrogance?"

"You can't possibly imagine what kind of person Forensic Doctor Zhang is! Tch!"

The incident outside was unbeknownst to Zhang Feng.

Because at this moment, Zhang Feng's fists were slowly clenching.

It was an aura undetectable to ordinary people, but one Zhang Feng was deeply familiar with, that had entered this compound.

Moreover, it had already broken through the ground!

And Zhang Feng could hear inside this circular building, the simultaneous shouts of respect from Brother Ji and others:

"Greetings, Master!!"

A golden gleam gradually appeared in Zhang Feng's eyes:

"Evil Cultivator, we're finally about to meet!"
