Under the mounting pressure, the front desk manager hesitated only a moment longer before reluctantly pulling up the call records on the hotel's system.
With a trembling hand, he turned the screen toward Liu Wei.
The officer's eyes scanned the records quickly, his lips curling into a knowing smirk.
He then turned to Gu Jin.
"Miss Gu, in which room were you staying?" he inquired.
"Room 602," Gu Jin responded coolly.
Liu Wei's smirk widened into a cold chuckle as he turned back to the crowd.
"Well, it appears that Miss Gu did, in fact, place a call to the front desk. However—" he paused for effect, "there is no record of the front desk calling Room 603 or 604 to request them to quiet down."
Gasps rippled through the onlookers, followed swiftly by furious whispers.
"So they were lying!"
"Despicable! How dare they mistreat Lady Gu Jin like this?"
"This hotel will never see another cent from me!"
