After some time, Gu Fan heard many footsteps outside the room, which meant those people had returned. So, Gu Fan could only pray once more, hoping that they wouldn't thoroughly check the room to ensure it was secure.
Just then, Gu Fan heard an argument. It sounded like someone was insisting on checking the room to confirm that no one had entered it after they had left and to ensure it was safe.
"Damn, what I feared has come to pass. Do you have to be so diligent, brother?" Gu Fan was worried. All it would take for him to be discovered was for them to lift the bed.
While Gu Fan was tense, he heard an annoyed female voice say, "What's there to check? Don't you have surveillance? Just look at the footage, and you'll know. You woke me up in the middle of the night; can't a person get some decent sleep?"
"This woman's voice... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before." Gu Fan pondered, first a familiar silhouette and now a familiar voice.
