Upon hearing this, Gu Wanyin immediately put down her chopsticks and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"It's that guy called An Nai Lin, the one I was assigned to follow," Fugui said.
An Nai Lin...
Gu Wanyin certainly remembered this person.
Previously, when he ran out of points and wanted to stay another night at the hotel, she had refused him.
The next day, he returned with a large collection of gold and jewels to exchange for points.
Thinking about it now, it did seem rather suspicious.
Because he brought back too much, and they were all particularly valuable items.
If it wasn't just good luck, then the most likely explanation was...
Those items were given to him by vampires.
"Are you sure?" Gu Wanyin asked Fugui.
"I'm absolutely sure! I just saw it all. He met a vampire on his way, but the vampire didn't dare harm him. Then, he went to another location and had a lengthy whispered conversation with another vampire. Though I didn't dare get too close to hear what they were saying, I saw the vampire toss him something that looked like a ring."
Gu Wanyin's eyes darkened as she came to a conclusion.
Not only did the vampires not harm An Nai Lin, but they even gave him a ring...
Wasn't it obvious that he had been bought off by the vampires?
Of course, she still needed to confirm it.
It wouldn't be good if she made a wrong judgment.
"Fugui, when An Nai Lin returns, you should..."
...
When An Nai Lin returned to the hotel, he was gleefully planning to exchange the ruby ring for points.
When he reached the front desk, he found none of the familiar staff, only a green elf attendant standing there, smiling at him.
Perhaps it was because the elf was too green, but its smile seemed somewhat creepy.
"Um, I'd like to add some points," An Nai Lin said cautiously.
"That can wait," Fugui smiled and said, "Our Manager Gu would like to see you. Please come with me."
"What does Manager Gu want with me?" An Nai Lin became instantly alert.
"Oh, it's like this," Fugui replied with composure, "We just held an event at the hotel, randomly selecting a lucky guest to receive a one-year free stay. Congratulations, you're the lucky winner."
"What?" An Nai Lin looked at him in surprise, "I was chosen? Really? Are you sure there's no mistake?"
"How could there be a mistake? You're An Nai Lin, right? It's definitely you."
After a moment of stunned silence, An Nai Lin was overcome with joy.
It seemed his luck was really turning around!
Not only could he get benefits from the vampires, but he'd also get to stay at the hotel for free for a year!
Although with the vampires' help, he wouldn't have trouble getting gold and jewels anymore.
Still, having this benefit was good insurance!
So, An Nai Lin cheerfully followed Fugui to the hotel's backyard.
In the backyard, An Nai Lin saw Gu Wanyin already seated in a chair, waiting for him.
"Manager Gu," An Nai Lin greeted her cautiously.
"Mr. An Nai Lin," Gu Wanyin smiled, "You've just returned from outside the hotel?"
"Yes, I went out looking for more items to exchange for points."
"Is that so? What did you find?" Gu Wanyin asked.
An Nai Lin found this strange.
Wasn't she supposed to be giving him the free stay benefit? Why was she asking about this?
"Bad luck today, I didn't find anything," An Nai Lin said.
After all, the ruby ring was in his pocket, and Gu Wanyin couldn't see it.
"Oh, really?"
At that moment, Gu Wanyin snapped her fingers.
And suddenly, the ruby ring fell out of An Nai Lin's pocket.
