Chapter 1349: Looking Good

He had never been one to speak up first, so it was Kian who spoke up first, saying to Mr. Simpson, "Elijah took Sean to meet Preston, I took a photo, and I'm sending it to you now." Kian sent a picture of the three of them meeting on the chatting app.

Preston hadn't been doing well lately, hiding and shifting around had made him look particularly weathered, while Elijah and Sean, who lived in hotels with food and drink, looked lively and sunny.

The contrast between the three made Preston's heart sink instantly, so his face didn't look very good.

After looking at the photo, Ayan asked lightly, "Did Elijah tell you he was going to see Preston?"

"He did, he even told us the meeting place and time."

"Without holding back?"

"Yes, without holding back."

Ayan's gaze fell on the photo, his deep eyes filled with coldness and indifference. He said, "Then keep an eye on them, see what they're up to."

"Mr. Simpson, aren't you going to stop them? If Elijah teams up with Preston, then aren't we just raising a dog for nothing?"

Kian's concern was normal and most direct because Elijah and Preston had a complicated relationship. Elijah had helped Preston a lot before, so with their relationship, how could anyone not worry? So when Kian heard this news, he rushed to the scene immediately to keep an eye on things.

Now he was fully focused and on guard, afraid that Preston and Elijah would do something he overlooked.

Ayan remained silent, seemingly pondering Kian's words repeatedly. After a while, he spoke lightly, "What does Elijah think he has that could use me to cooperate with Preston? He can't even have basic freedom now, so where does his audacity come from?"

Ayan didn't seem worried and didn't care about Elijah going to see Preston, just a hint of displeasure and coldness appeared.

Then he said, "Call the police, then contact the hotel owner, the police routinely check the information of guests, just as a reminder to Elijah. If he dares to use me to work with Preston and stab me in the back, then he should think carefully about whether he wants to go back to the dark prison."

His words were full of icy threat, every word was a warning, his implications were clear enough to make Elijah understand what the consequences would be if he really offended him.

The reason Preston was still able to stay safe outside was simply that Ayan wanted to force Preston to reveal his true face in this way. If Preston knew his purpose and the true extent of the debt the Simpson family owed him, Preston wouldn't be able to remain free now.

After all, Preston had done so much, and Ayan had ways to make him pay for every one.

Kian originally thought Ayan didn't care at all, didn't plan to do anything, so he was a little worried and even excited about his emotions, but now after hearing Ayan's plan, he realized he was too naive to think like Ayan.

Kian immediately set about doing as Ayan suggested, contacting the hotel owner right away, although the other party was puzzled, naturally they refused. After all, guests in such small hotels usually turned a blind eye, but Kian used Ayan's bestowed monetary power to make the hotel owner agree.

The process went smoothly, the reasons were very reasonable, just to let Preston not suspect anything. He was placed last in the hotel check, to give Elijah a warning and reminder, but the surrounding hotels also conducted identity checks together, naturally causing many unfortunate people.

Because they were plainclothes police, many people had not yet figured out what was going on, but the hotel owner knew from the beginning, although he was anxious, Kian told him to calm down. If they really found anything illegal, they could let them go, although the owner felt reassured, he was still a little apprehensive.

Because he also couldn't guarantee if there were really no lawbreakers staying in the hotel, so he was very unsure.

But he took the money, so he had to keep quiet about everything.

Meanwhile, the hotel check was underway, seemingly quite lively. After about an hour, it was already after half-past eight in the evening. Kian called the hotel owner, telling him, "You can go knock on each door and tell them the police are checking ID information, and they're at the hotel across the street now. If anyone needs to leave, they can do so now."

The hotel owner ran upstairs like he had received a pardon and went knocking on each door to inform everyone about the police investigation. The soundproofing in the hotel wasn't great, so any noise would be heard immediately.

Preston stayed in a room on the third floor near the stairs, so he heard the commotion quickly and opened his door, looking out, and saw several people who hadn't even finished dressing properly running downstairs. He frowned, looking very displeased.

Elijah, who was inside the room, also noticed and asked, "What's going on?"

Preston's face was cold, looking particularly unpleasant, he turned his head to look at Elijah and asked, "You didn't raise Ayan's suspicion when you came, did you?"

Elijah thought carefully, then quickly shook his head and said, "Of course not, I went out with Sean to mislead them. Sean is still waiting for me at the supermarket. As long as Sean hasn't returned, they won't know I came to your place."

Preston glanced at Elijah, and then his face softened a bit, but his gaze was still not good.

At that moment, the hotel owner knocked on Preston's door. Preston opened it and asked, "What's going on?"

The hotel owner told Preston about the situation, then repeatedly apologized, saying, "I can push the money on you. If you don't have your ID, you can go out and hide for a while, and come back after the investigation. Some people are hiding things they shouldn't, so the police received some information and started checking."
