Chapter 012 The Purple Apartment

Looking at the camera in his hand, Lin Qingwan helplessly sat on the sofa. She was speechless and looking at Ye Fei for help.

"Can I go into the bedroom now?" Ye Fei smiled.

"Go inside and have a quick look... Oh God." Lin Qingwan put her palms together devoutly, closed her eyes, and prayed.

Ye Fei pushed the door of Lin Qingwan's bedroom and his vision was filled with pink. The whole room was covered with light pink wallpaper with an overwhelming amount of cartoon character plushies on the bed including Garfield, Snoopy, and so on. It was quite astonishing.

Ye Fei was a little surprised. Looking back at Lin Qingwan, he never imagined this cool and beautiful manager to be so childlike.

Lin Qingwan no longer had the strength to scold Ye Fei, instead she just urged him, "Why are you taking so long? Hurry up!"

Ye Fei looked around and found that the camera in the bedroom was better concealed. It actually was in Snoopy's eye.

It would have been nearly impossible to find the hidden camera if it weren't for Ye Fei's amazing eyesight.　

In addition to the camera in Snoopy's eye, Ye Fei found two more in other places, equally well-concealed.

The cameras were positioned in a typical three-point triangulation pattern. It covered the entire room - no matter where Lin Qingwan stood, her every movement was recorded.

Ye Fei bit his lower lip showing his concern. The person who installed these cameras was extremely professional and definitely not the average person.

He looked around the room again, when he was sure there were no other cameras he stepped out.

Seeing Ye Fei come out empty-handed, she figured there was no camera inside the bedroom and relaxed a little.

Ye Fei said, "I have found three cameras in the bedroom, one camera in the suite bathroom, and two cameras in the living room. Altogether, there are seven cameras."

Hearing this, Lin Qingwan almost fainted. She looked back at Ye Fei, "Why didn't you take the cameras down?"

Ye Fei gestured for Lin Qingwan to follow him outside.

After Ye Fei checked the car inside-out, he firmly said, "Rest assured, there is no camera or listening device inside the car."

"Who the hell did this? Could it have been the shooter?" Lin Qingwan was restless.

"Impossible. These cameras are installed in your bedroom. The shooter could have killed you a hundred times over if he had gotten into your house." Ye Fei shook his head, "The question now is not who put the cameras there, but what to do about it. We don't know how long the cameras have been in place. It's likely that someone has seen you change changing in your room."

Lin Qingwan's face was red. Why had such a shameful thing happened to her...?

If it hadn't been for Ye Fei, she would never have known about these cameras. If something embarrassing about her were leaked, she would be ruined.

Lin Qingwan frowned, trying to recall how many times she had changed clothes recently and whether she had been walking around her room nude.

Of course, the answer was yes.

When Lin Qingwan was in her bedroom she was very comfortable, so she found no need to wear clothes and enjoyed the feeling of freedom that came with it.

Now that feeling of freedom was gone.

"Ye Fei... I don't know how long these cameras have been here. What if I've already been seen by someone? What should we do? Call the police?" Lin Qingwan frowned.

"It's better not to call the police." Ye Fei whispered.

"Why?" Lin Qingwan was surprised. She didn't know what he meant.

Ye Fei smiled, "Letting the police deal with this is a waste of time. As soon as the police arrive, the person who installed the cameras will surely know. Not to mention it will arouse suspicion, if they release the videos they secretly saved, the consequences... Manager Lin, you know better than I do."

Lin Qingwan understood. "But you have already removed a camera; it will arouse suspicion."

"I only took out one and it was in the closet. Whoever installed it will think it was broken while you were hanging up clothes or something. As long as we don't move any other cameras, they will think nothing of it." Ye Fei smiled. He had already considered everything.

"What should we do now? We have to find the man who installed the cameras and get back those videos!" Lin Qingwan worriedly said.

"That's for certain. But it's late now. It's impossible to find that person today. We first need a safe place to sleep."

Ye Fei looked at his watch. It was already one o'clock in the morning.

"Find a place to sleep? Where can we sleep?" Lin Qingwas asked.

"Manager Lin, you are the chairwoman and president of the Ya Lai Group. Do you have only one house?" Ye Fei looked at Lin Qingwan expectantly.

The Ya Lai Group probably had 400 or 500 million in assets. Lin Qingwan was a billionaire; it was normal for people like her to have three or more houses.

But Lin Qingwan reluctantly shook her head, "The Ya Lai Group's profits are not high enough. I spend most of the money, and there isn't enough left over to buy real estate. Even this villa was given to me by someone else."

"Then we'll have to stay in a hotel." Ye Fei said helplessly.

"I don't want to stay in a hotel. Hotels are unsafe." The shooting incident made Lin Qingwan fearful.

"Hotels are not very safe, but where else can we stay? We can't sleep on the street." Ye Fei looked at Lin Qingwan and smiled, "I don't mind; give me a blanket and I can sleep on a cement pipe. But I presume you won't put up with that."

Lin Qingwan blinked her eyes as a thought came to her, "Murong invited me to stay at her apartment today, but I didn't agree. Now we have no other choice."

"You're the boss, I agree. Although Murong is a little slow, at least she is a police officer. She can help protect you." Ye Fei started the car.

Lin Qingwan made a phone call to Murong and told her she had changed her mind.

Murong wasn't sleeping. Hearing that Lin Qingwan was coming over, she was very happy, and said she would wait for Lin Qingwan and prepare a late-night snack for them.

On the way, Lin Qingwan explained things to Ye Fei. Murong lived in a high-end apartment complex called Purple Apartments. She and three other beautiful women - a nurse, a college teacher, and a model - often went out late. There were five rooms in that apartment, and Lin Qingwan could live in the remaining empty room.

As Ye Fei was driving the car, he suddenly thought of a serious problem... Five rooms - where would he stay?
