Bai Suxiang appeared in the corridor, her footsteps seemingly frozen.
Everyone looked at her, only to immediately resume their own activities.
Bai Suxiang walked step by step. Aunt Hong had assigned her a small task: to fetch something.
She had complained to Aunt Hong about the previous day's events, and Aunt Hong had attributed it to Shu Risheng's idea, hoping she would capitalize on the situation.
Today, when fetching the item, she specifically asked Aunt Hong if there was another scheme involved.
Aunt Hong smiled and said, "No, don't worry! You struck him hard yesterday!"
Sasha's forehead was slightly sweaty. She had to find a way to get through this.
The moment Bai Suxiang walked closer, Sasha tilted her plate.
"Stop! Did you hear that, you stop too!"
At that moment, someone shouted, directly at Bai Suxiang!
Bai Suxiang halted her steps.
Searching for hidden devices was routine, and she had to cooperate.
"Put the plate aside!"
Lao Wu commanded.
"No, this is Boss Shu's food. If I put it on the ground and he sees it, I'll be in big trouble! How about, Miss Bai, you hold it for me."
Sasha's mind raced as Bai Suxiang approached.
They had done this kind of thing before.
In their words, it was called "crossing the bridge."
It involved using a third person to hide a camera on them, thereby evading inspection.
As she handed over the plate, she placed the button camera underneath it.
This type of camera was custom-made for clandestine photography.
Small in size, it could be attached anywhere and was convenient to use and remove.
With nimble fingers, she slipped it into the pocket of Bai Suxiang's clothes.
Liu Sandao had been watching her closely, noticing her hands moving with the agility of a seasoned professional.
However, planting it was easy, but evading inspection was not.
Lao Wu swept the black rod up and down. Nothing. He swept again, still nothing.
It was Bai Suxiang's turn. Sasha had thought she would successfully transfer the camera, but an unexpected event occurred.
As she touched Bai Suxiang's pocket, Bai Suxiang instinctively shifted her body.
The camera was not retrieved.
The situation was dire!
If Bai Suxiang was caught, she wouldn't just be fed to the fishes; the loss of the information inside would be heartbreaking!
Sasha became more nervous than before.
Bai Suxiang was unaware of any of this! She acted as if nothing was wrong, her face calm.
"Take it, and get out!"
Lao Wu yelled at Sasha.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Although Sasha verbally agreed, her feet did not move.
She was also annoyed, realizing she was about to implicate Bai Suxiang, and felt terribly guilty.
If they were caught, she would step forward and say that she had put it in Bai Suxiang's pocket.
"Move aside, move aside!" Su Dan Novel Network
Liu Sandao deliberately raised his voice and pushed the food cart past.
"Damn it, are you tired of living?"
Lao Wu cursed at Liu Sandao for his lack of respect.
Liu Sandao acted as if he hadn't heard the curses and continued pushing the cart forward.
"Stop! Stop!"
The people around him stared at him menacingly, and one of them shouted.
Liu Sandao stopped his cart precisely beside Lao Wu, who was about to scan Bai Suxiang, effectively blocking them from each other.
"Damn it! Since you're in such a hurry, I'll scan you first!"
Saying this, he took a step towards Liu Sandao with the device.
"Hands up, stand straight! Damn it!"
Lao Wu continued to curse incessantly.
During this interval, Sasha tried again and finally, with a near miss, managed to retrieve the camera.
"Brother Wu, can I go now?"
As soon as Sasha got the camera, she said to Lao Wu.
"Go, go, are you planning to stay here for New Year's?"
Lao Wu said impatiently.
Liu Sandao stood stiffly, cooperating with Lao Wu's device as it moved up and down.
Lao Wu, losing patience, casually waved the device and pushed him away.
"Get out, get out! If you don't have any sense next time, I'll make sure you regret it!"
Liu Sandao did not reply, pushing the small cart forward.
After her check, Bai Suxiang quickened her pace, intending to catch up with Liu Sandao, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Liu Sandao found a spot to linger for a while, needing to find the right moment to return so that Lao Wu wouldn't question him.
After the harrowing but successful inspection, Sasha, carrying the plate, entered one of the private rooms.
Inside, the big boss, Shu Xiaoxin, was dining with his friends.
Without a word, she handed the plate to the young women in the room.
They would place the plates in the appropriate positions. Any finished empty plates needed to be cleared and given to the order picker to be sent back to the kitchen.
Liu Sandao ambled along and happened to appear at the entrance of the private room.
The door of this private room had a vertical glass panel in the middle, allowing the waiters to see the situation outside.
Likewise, one could vaguely see inside from the outside.
Liu Sandao glanced in and saw Sasha standing by the door, waiting. Her hand was constantly fiddling with her top, as if adjusting the camera's position.
The waiter inside saw Liu Sandao's small cart and immediately opened the door, leaning out to place the plates on the cart.
The door was halfway open, and Shu Xiaoxin's voice was heard from inside: "Old Zhao, shhh! We should discuss that matter in the secret room!"
"Hahaha, right, right! Let's go, let's go now! That's a business of over a billion, and if we're late, we won't even get a sip of the broth!"
"Yes, alright! You guys eat here for now, we'll be back later!"
They said, and then they walked out of the private room.
Sasha, along with the waiter, placed the plates on the small cart outside the door.
Although she was busy with the plates, her eyes and mind were focused on Shu Xiaoxin and the boss named Zhao.
Liu Sandao, seeing her demeanor, deliberately asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Nothing, nothing! Don't talk nonsense!"
Sasha scolded, blaming Liu Sandao for interrupting and disrupting her steps, while also being annoyed that he had guessed her thoughts.
Liu Sandao didn't argue. Seeing the plates were arranged, he immediately pushed the small cart forward.
Sasha seemed undecided about going to the secret room they mentioned. She looked back a few times while holding onto Liu Sandao's slow-moving cart.
Liu Sandao pushed the cart at an extremely slow pace.
If one wasn't paying attention, it would seem as if he hadn't moved at all.
"Where is this secret room they mentioned?"
Sasha probed casually.
She didn't want Liu Sandao to know her plan, but she also knew he had arrived earlier than them and might know where the secret room was.
"Secret room? What secret room? You want to go to the secret room?"
Liu Sandao feigned surprise, asking three questions in a row.
This made Sasha anxious. The more she tried to keep it a secret, the more he seemed to undermine her.
