Chapter 1350: CunningChapter 1350: Cunningnoveldrama
After speaking, the innkeeper repeated himself once more, then hurried off to inform the person in the next room.
Elijah heard it too. If his identity is investigated, he'll be the first to be exposed. So, of course, he immediately got up and walked
towards Preston. He said, "I have to leave right away. | can't let the police know I'm here. | can't show up outside right now."
Elijah was very anxious. After speaking, he immediately reached out to open the door to leave. But Preston grabbed his hand,
his eyes sharp with a hint of displeasure, and he asked, "Do the police have anything to do with you? Are you teaming up with
Ayan to plot against me?"
Elijah was also taken aback. He didn't expect Preston to still suspect him at this point. With a grim expression, Elijah said, "If |
wanted to plot against you, why would | come here? If | really wanted to plot against you, wouldn't Ayan have bribed the
innkeeper? Let me tell you, | can't reveal my identity now. I have to leave immediately. If Ayan finds out | came here to see you,
he definitely won't protect me anymore."
After saying this, Elijah shook off Preston's hand and said, "Next time we meet, let's find a park. We can't show up at these inns
anymore."
If it was a public place, there would be more opportunities to leave. If they were blocked in a place like this inn, it would be a
dead end. He dared not stay for a second longer, so he hurriedly left the room and quickly walked out of the inn.
Since he didn't have a phone or any way to contact, Elijah almost walked with his head buried. There was still a distance to the
supermarket where Sean was, so he strode forward, nearly penniless. Having spent some time in prison, his health wasn't that
great, so he was panting from the walk.
Elijah left, and Preston couldn't stay at the inn anymore either. His identity was also not easy to scrutinize, so he could only leave
the inn and wander around it. After the police finished their investigation and left the inn, he returned.
The innkeeper saw him return and couldn't help but sigh, "Brother, you really have guts." He hadn't planned to leave, and he had
to stay.
But the innkeeper didn't rush him to leave. After all, who wouldn't be happy to earn money? It was just that things didn't go so
smoothly for Elijah. He found Sean at the supermarket because both of them had sneaked back. It was already late, and if they
went back now, with any luck, they wouldn't run into anyone. But what if they were unlucky and encountered someone?
They never wondered why no one noticed they were gone, or why they could leave the hotel so easily. They never thought that
Ayan didn't trust them. This led to their current confidence and boldness, with no fear or worries.
The two even swaggered into the hotel lobby. Kian had returned to the hotel lobby ahead of them and was watching as they
came in together.
They saw Kian, and their faces unconsciously showed a trace of astonishment. Their eyes also revealed a hint of bewilderment,
then quickly spoke, "Mr. Reid, why are you here? How long have you been here? We just went out for a walk. We wanted to say
hi, but waited for a long time and no one showed up. There was a lot of good food tonight, so we ate a lot and then went for a
walk because we were full."
Kian had a faint smile on his face and didn't directly expose them. He just calmly asked, "Where did you go for a walk?"
Sean immediately became nervous, but Elijah remained calm. In fact, he gently pulled Sean, as if reminding him not to panic.
With Elijah's reminder, Sean also became calmer. Elijah looked at Kian with a smile and said, "We just walked around nearby.
We didn't dare to go far because we didn't have any contact information. We were worried our two protectors wouldn't find us
and would be anxious."
Elijah was an old hand at this and naturally handled it with ease, not panicking over such a small matter. Even as Kian stared at
him, he remained confident and made his case without any flaws or loopholes.
Kian couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was lucky he had prepared early on to track Elijah and Sean after they left the hotel. If he
hadn't done all this, Elijah might have met Preston without anyone knowing, even though there were suspicions, there wasn't any
concrete evidence.
So, Elijah was really a cunning person. He stabilized Ayan with Preston while secretly meeting Preston. So, what was his real
intention? Did he plan to turn against Ayan and deceive him?
But his current situation was difficult to guarantee. He relied on Ayan for food, drink, and shelter. Where did he get the confidence
and financial support to go against Ayan?
These series of questions remained unanswered, leading to a more complicated situation.
Kian accompanied Elijah and Sean as
they took the elevator upstairs,
returning to th repreitere El A

"Elijah, Mr. Simpson asked me to
come and tell you something." Please

Elijah paused subconsciously but immediately realized what was happening. He asked, "What does Mr. Simpson want to tell
me?"
Kian said, "The police have traced
Preston's whereabouts. In the next
few days, the police may launch

detained. So Mr. Simpson asked me
to tell you not to have any contact
with Preston for now. Even if Preston
tries to contact you through the hotel,
it's best not to respond." Please read

Kian's implication was clear. This was a warning to Elijah that if Preston found out he was out of prison, he might retaliate.
This caused Elijah to freeze subconsciously, but no more than that. His expression did not reveal any excessive emotions.
Sean, on the side, already had a
furrowed brow, with a serious
expression. Kian glanced at hi

"Does Mr. Simpson know where Preston is based on the hotel contact point | provided?" Elijah asked.
