Lin Mujie got up hurriedly and put on his clothes. He checked the contents of his pockets and briefcase and was relieved to find that all his belongings were still there.

    "What happened last night?" Lin Mujie was suddenly suspicious, looking at the room neatly arranged as if nothing had happened. He clearly remembered that when he first came in, there was a painting on the wall of the room, with a girl named Lily in it.

    He looked at the painting on the wall, with some colorful lights hanging like stars against a blue sky background, but the fairy-like lily girl in the painting was gone. It all seemed like a dream, and although he had had a little too much to drink yesterday, this amount of alcohol should not have made him forget everything. A huge mystery was swirling in Lin Mujie's mind.

    Lin Mujie tried to recall everything that happened last night, but her mind was in a mess. She only remembered that after coming into the room, she seemed to have drunk two cups of tea poured by Lily, and then she couldn't control herself anymore. The rest of the things were unclear.

    Lin Mujie was feeling annoyed. He walked over to the bed and lifted the sheet, only to see a bright red flower blooming on the white sheet. The image of a delicate and pitiful lily immediately came to mind, and he felt a twinge of pain. It seemed that he understood what had happened, and he began to feel annoyed.

    Lin Mujie immediately took out his phone and called Lu Xiong. As soon as he heard Lin Mujie's voice, Lu Xiong immediately laughed on the phone. He said, "Chairman, I was waiting for you downstairs early this morning!"

    When Lin Mujie heard his joking voice, his anger flared up and almost caused a big problem. How dare you laugh?

    "Good morning, boss! Have a nice day!"

    "Good morning boss, have a nice day!"……

    As soon as Lin Mujie walked into the hotel lobby, two attendants on duty came up to greet him enthusiastically. Lin Mujie was feeling unhappy and was too lazy to respond to them. He quickly walked out of the hotel.

    Lu Xiong had already greeted him with a smile. Lin Mujie usually treated Lu Xiong like a brother, and the two occasionally joked around when they were alone. At this time, Lu Xiong wanted to make a few fun remarks, but when he saw Lin Mujie's dark face, he didn't dare to be so bold.

    "Mr. Lin, how did it go yesterday? Last night……" Getting into the car, Lu Xiong cautiously inquired, but his face was filled with a smirk of satisfaction.

    Lin Mujie was filled with anger, and when he saw Lu Xiong's untrustworthy questioning, he shouted at him, "Where were you last night? Didn't you know we were going home last night?"

    "Yes, I know. When I returned to the hotel, the staff told me that you had already checked in. How could I disturb you?" Lu Xiong felt a chill in his heart and felt full of grievances.

    "How dare you say you know? Since you know, why didn't you call me back immediately when you got back to the hotel, causing me to spend an inexplicable night here!" Lin Mujie was fine not listening to him, but when she heard Lu Xiong say this, the anger in her heart could not be contained and rushed straight to her forehead.

    "Where?" Lu Xiong scowled. "I was just about to come over when I got your call yesterday. But on the way, my phone was suddenly snatched by a thief. I chased after him for a long time, and I was about to catch up with him, but the thief was really wicked. He threw my phone as a concealed weapon, and when I picked it up, it was already broken. I was so angry……"

    "With your skills, how can you not deal with a petty thief?" Lin Mujie was even more annoyed that Lu Xiong didn't even make a draft when he lied.

    Chairman, you misunderstood me! I was worried about the data, and in order to catch the thief, I hastily handed the bag containing the data to a stallholder next to me. I was afraid that if I caught the thief, I would lose the data and not get the thief in return!

    "Where's the information?" Lin Mujie only remembered the information.

    "Here it is!" Lu Xiong patted the file bag beside him with pride.

    Lin Mujie picked up the briefcase and opened it. Inside, there was nothing but two yellow magazines.

    "You just know to watch this all day!" Lin Mujie angrily threw the magazine in front of Lu Xiong.

    "Chairman, men always have their own hobbies and interests!" Lu Xiong smiled obsequiously. This kind of thing had been discovered by Lin Mujie before, so he was like a dead pig that didn't fear hot water.

    "I'm asking you where the information you found yesterday is?" Lin Mujie was irritated by Lu Xiong's cute expression and picked up the magazine and threw it hard at Lu Xiong's body.

    "Isn't the thing in the bag?" Lu Xiong felt that the atmosphere was not right. He quickly picked up the bag and found it empty. The two magazines were not the ones he usually read.

    "Someone has switched it, I have to go back and find it!" Lu Xiong said, preparing to turn the car around.

    "Don't bother! It's been a whole night, where can you find it?" Lin Mujie sighed, his heart was even more worried. What happened last night? His head was about to explode.

    "Lu Xiong, tell me in detail what happened last night. Don't leave anything out," said Lin Mujie in a serious tone.

    Lu Xiong had been following Lin Mujie for two years, and had never seen him lose his temper like this. He immediately explained everything that had happened last night in detail.

    "So, yesterday afternoon, Lu Xiong met with a person nicknamed 'Monkey' at the Jade Restaurant. At that time, Lu Xiong gave Monkey 10,000 cash, and Monkey only agreed to give him the information after that. He took Lu Xiong on a long walk, and they ended up in a remote place where Monkey handed Lu Xiong a removable USB drive. The rest of their negotiation went smoothly. According to Monkey, the apparent owner of the hotel was Wang Chenming, but there was actually someone else behind the scenes. Monkey said that there were some photos and information about the behind-the-scenes owner of the hotel on the USB drive. After paying, Monkey left. At this time, Lin Mujie called, and Lu Xiong was walking and listening to the phone call at the same time. Who knew that a thief would suddenly appear and snatch his phone? He ran a few steps, but couldn't catch up with the thief because he was holding a bag. So he handed the bag to a woman selling barbecue nearby. When he got it back, he didn't look at it carefully, so he didn't notice that it had changed.

    "If I had known, I should have kept the USB drive on me," said Lu Xiong with regret.

    "Since Monkey can give you the USB drive, he should also have the archive of the information. Ask him for another copy later." Lin Mujie suspected that Lu Xiong had lost the things while chasing the thief, so he didn't reveal him at the moment.

    "Let me drop you off at the company first and then ask Monkey for another copy of the information!" Lu Xiong saw that Lin Mujie was no longer angry, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

    "Lu Xiong, I hope you won't make this kind of mistake again in the future. You know I was going to go back last night. It's not safe for me to stay in a place like that. Do you think it's safe for me to stay there?" Lin Mujie asked in return.

    "I'm sorry, Chairman! I was delayed for almost half an hour chasing that thief last night. When I got back to the hotel and called you, your phone was already off. People say you are in a cozy place, so I didn't dare to disturb you! Besides, the hotel is not bad either, so I…… " said Lu Xiong, blushing and laughing awkwardly.

    "You young man, you were having a good time outside last night, but I was suffering last night. Do you know that?" Lin Mujie saw that Lu Xiong still had an awkward expression like a naughty child who had stolen something sweet. He was angry and couldn't help laughing at the same time.

    "What? You weren't feeling well last night? Why didn't you tell me if something happened? I thought you were in……" Lu Xiong quickly realized that he had said something inappropriate and couldn't help laughing again.

    Lin Mujie gave him a dissatisfied glance and said seriously, "I increasingly feel that the guy named Wang is not a serious person. We need to be careful when dealing with him in the future."

    "But they are introduced by General Manager Lin, so is there still a problem?" General Manager Lin refers to Lin Mufeng, Lin Mujie's cousin.

    "I increasingly feel puzzled about my older brother. If what Monkey said is true, then there is a behind-the-scenes boss behind Wang? What is the relationship between them and my older brother? If they are unreliable people, why does my older brother always speak up for them?" Lin Mujie's expression became solemn.

    "Since we don't know their background, I suggest that you don't do any business with them." Lu Xiong didn't understand why Chairman Lin wanted to deal with people who he didn't know anything about. The only thing he could think of was not dealing with these people to avoid causing trouble.

    "Businessmen always focus on the benefits of cooperation with each other. As long as the profit is high and the other party is trustworthy, it doesn't matter who you do business with……" Lin Mujie sighed and saw Lu Xiong's confused expression. Apparently, he didn't understand his meaning for a moment. Lin Mujie didn't want to say too much to Lu Xiong, thinking that he wouldn't understand. "Forget it, you don't understand the business world, so don't get involved! Maybe I'm too nervous, but I don't think my brother would deliberately frame me."

    Lu Xiong listened to Lin Mujie's words and was also confused. Since the Wangs were somewhat unreliable, it was better to avoid dealing with such people. But how could he understand that Lin Mujie always valued family ties and would rather make less money than embarrass his own brothers. This time, he had come to Earl Hotel personally to conduct a field investigation in a cautious attitude.

    After returning to the company, Lin Mujie was still upset about what happened at the Count Hotel that night for several days. He felt more and more that it was very strange. Lu Xiong's phone was robbed and the data was swapped. It seemed that someone was secretly doing something. But who was doing it? What was their purpose? Why did they know about their every move? Were they the same group as the Wangs or another group? If he investigated the background of the Wangs, no one should have known at that time. If it was a common thief, what was the use of stealing these things?
