Of course, the eyes are on the driver, and where people want to look is their freedom. A fair lady, a gentleman shall pursue! Lin Mu wasn’t so petty, thinking the driver was sleazy; maybe the driver thought he himself was even sleazier!
"Don’t worry, I treat all my guests fairly. Just get in the car, it’s only ten yuan," the man said generously, waving his hand.
Ten yuan for a taxi ride was quite cheap. In Wancheng, the starting fare was twenty yuan, so it really wasn’t expensive. Although the driver seed a bit sleazy, at least he wasn’t ripping them off. Lin Mu then called over Qi Manlin, and the two got in the car. Seeing them seated, the driver smiled and started the car, heading towards a nearby hotel.
On the road, the driver chatted while driving.
"Where are you two coming from?"
"From the capital!"
Lin Mu smiled and told a little lie to conceal his identity, not wanting to reveal the truth. He didn’t act arrogantly but instead played the role of an honest and timid character. He knew it wasn’t ti for him to act high-profile yet.
"Oh, so what brings you to Zhujiang Island?" the middle-aged driver asked again.
Lin Mu glanced at the driver; this guy seed to be asking too many questions. Are all drivers this chatty? However, Lin Mu didn’t refuse to answer and said, "Haha, here to accompany my young lady for a tour!"
While speaking, Lin Mu secretly glanced at Qi Manlin and smiled at her.
There’s no denying that Qi Manlin indeed carried the deanor of a wealthy young lady. Of course, her family background was above average, and now dressed in all black, she looked cool and noble. anwhile, Lin Mu was still in his dusty, grey clothes, really looking like a servant!
"Haha, I see," the driver chuckled but didn’t say more, continuing to drive.
The car drove for about fifteen or sixteen minutes before stopping at the entrance of a hotel.
"Here you go, this hotel isn’t bad; most tourists from afar like to stay here," the driver said with a smile.
Lin Mu brushed his stubble, took out ten yuan and handed it to the middle-aged driver, then grabbed his luggage and stepped out of the car with Qi Manlin. As soon as they got off, the driver hurriedly drove away from the hotel entrance!
Watching the taxi’s rear, Lin Mu suddenly felt sothing was amiss. Though this feeling had no basis, Lin Mu had a super strong "Seventh Sense." Even more terrifying, he had a strange dream last night where he boarded a pirate ship filled with monsters that devour people whole. Lin Mu didn’t believe in ghosts or deities, so he realized he was about to enter a very dangerous place.
"What’s wrong? Is sothing off?" Qi Manlin, having noticed nothing unusual, asked Lin Mu with her beautiful phoenix eyes.
"I don’t know why, but I have a feeling the driver was sowhat strange," Lin Mu said, puzzled.
"What’s strange? Don’t make a fuss about nothing, okay? You’re finding fault everywhere; I even find you disagreeable!" Qi Manlin retorted, annoyed. The fare was so cheap; he clearly seed like a good person!
"Haha, if I rember correctly, we traveled nearly ten miles, took over ten minutes, and it only cost us ten yuan. So cheap, do you think his na is Lei Feng?" Lin Mu’s lips curled into a sinister smile.
Hearing this, Qi Manlin also felt sothing was not right. This rascal Lin Mu certainly was sothing; he could keenly notice and analyze even such trivial issues!
"Maybe he offered a low price seeing we’re from out of town, don’t think there’s bad everywhere. Anyway, he’s gone now, can’t do us any harm," Qi Manlin said.
Lin Mu smiled and said nothing. A good person? That driver, looking so sleazy, how could he be a good person? Even soone as handso as him wouldn’t dare claim to be a good person! From Lin Mu’s perspective, there was definitely so trick behind why the driver didn’t overcharge them, not because they were seen as out-of-towners as Qi Manlin said!
Generally, the farther a taxi driver sees a passenger is from the area, the more they look to cheat you! Was this guy bringing them to a bigger scam to have so fun? Suddenly recalling last night’s dream about boarding the pirate ship, he understood, hmm, that must be it.
Lin Mu casually glanced at the hotel, which was nad the Grand Hotel. Lin Mu suddenly seed to grasp sothing – could these people be touts for the hotel?
This hotel wasn’t very large, with only six floors, but it was one of the more sizable hotels around, as the surrounding buildings were sowhat old!
"Hey, let’s get moving and go inside!" Lin Mu smiled, pulling Qi Manlin’s hand as they walked in.
Inside the hotel, Lin Mu looked around. By the sofas in the lobby sat several rough-looking guys, smoking and playing cards – they seed to be the staff.
Damn, is this just like in my dream? Have I walked into a den of thieves? Lin Mu cursed silently as he looked at the scruffy guys.
Qi Manlin didn’t seem to notice anything unusual. Except for a few rough-looking guys playing cards in the lobby, the rest of the hotel seed fairly normal.
Lin Mu booked a double room at the front desk, and Qi Manlin did not object. Considering they were unfamiliar with the area and possibly faced unknown dangers, staying together in one room, with Lin Mu around, would be more reassuring.
They prioritized serious matters, not worrying much about personal relationships. Qi Manlin was already quite used to Lin Mu’s reckless, carefree ways!
Lin Mu patted Qi Manlin’s butt, giving it a playful squeeze, firm and bouncy! Qi Manlin didn’t react much because she had long adapted to Lin Mu’s shaless behavior!
After getting the room, the two headed upstairs to rest. While climbing the stairs, Lin Mu kept observing the hotel’s layout and the people coming and going. Qi Manlin hadn’t noticed, but Lin Mu, as the Wolf Fang Special Forces King of the North African Grassland, was naturally very sensitive to this!
To his surprise, Lin Mu discovered that all the people walking around this building were won; except for himself, he didn’t find a single man, and these won were all dressed rather flamboyantly!
Damn, am I in a so-called Chicken Nest Hotel? Lin Mu cursed.
The so-called Chicken Nest Hotel operates under the guise of a hotel but engages in debauchery, a cover for illicit deeds, where typically male guests co and then hire young ladies!
However, such Chicken Nest Hotels aren’t prevalent in inland areas, as there’s strict crackdown here. But they are very popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Western countries, and business is often very good!
