Not long after Yang Yi entered, Xie Li emerged from around the corner, leaning against the wall next to Meng Xiao's bed.
French people don't stay here, only Meng Xiao and Yang Yi reside on this floor. After reporting to Cheng Cheng about Meng Xiao's whereabouts, the neighbors had left the hotel earlier to spend time at home.
No one would come to this floor before dawn. Xie Li glanced at the surveillance camera on the corridor, which had already been turned off.
Their identities were sensitive, hence surveillance had to be turned off wherever they went.
He took a cigarette from his pocket. It was crushed into several segments by Meng Xiao when it was in his pocket. Xie Li pieced them together and lit it with a lighter.
The broken cigarette was not easy to smoke; it was extinguished and had to be relit again.
