The staff member tried to keep a calm face, but Xu Fei had a strange smile playing on his lips.
“I know this is the emergency exit, I’m here for you, and I also know that if I leak a video of you skiving off to smoke, your job’s gone!”
At those words, the man froze in fear, fumbling to pull out his wallet and handing Xu Fei a few hundred quid.
“Mate, please, have a heart, I was just knackered from work and nipped here for a break, don’t grass me up, I beg you!”
Xu Fei let out a soft chuckle.
“Put your money away, I want those clothes you’re wearing, and you’d better keep this quiet, or else!”
As he said this, Xu Fei raised his hand and with one slap bent the steel stair railing, his face still utterly unfazed.
Seeing this, the man didn’t dare say no, quickly stripping off his work uniform and handing it to Xu Fei.
Xu Fei took it, changed into it, left the spot, grabbed a few bottles of booze from the shopping area, and headed back to the eighth floor.
“These are for Brother Hao!”
This time, though he was stopped again, Xu Fei’s new outfit got him through.
Once on the eighth floor, he searched several private rooms, all empty.
If he kept checking room by room like this, he’d surely get rumbled eventually.
With no other choice, Xu Fei racked his brains for another plan. Just as he was hitting a dead end, two men in black, arm in arm, strolled into the nearby loo.
From their swagger, Xu Fei instantly pegged them as Brother Hao’s bodyguards, so he followed them in and slipped into a cubicle, shutting the door.
Outside, the two blokes at the urinals were dead relaxed, casually chatting away.
“Oi, fancy heading downstairs for a bit of fun later? Brother Hao’s footing the bill, be a shame not to!”
The other guy was tempted but hesitated, saying, “Bit early for that, innit? We’re not off till tomorrow morning!”
Brother Hao’s bodyguards worked 24-hour shifts. The first speaker, clearly a veteran, beckoned to him.
“You daft? Sister Hua’s just gone into Brother Hao’s room, we’ve got orders he’s in for a proper good time tonight. You think he’ll want us in there playing gooseberry while he’s at it?”
The other guy suddenly got it, clapping his hands, “Makes sense! The place is booked out, Brother Hao’s safety’s sorted!”
“While Brother Hao’s having his fun in the room, we can have ours downstairs, all paid for, then clock off tomorrow morning, pure class!”
With that, the two were about to head downstairs when a voice came from behind.
“Want something even more thrilling?”
They turned to see Xu Fei in his staff gear, thinking he was about to chum up, but as they got close, Xu Fei struck.
Before they could react, Xu Fei grabbed their heads and smashed them together, leaving them seeing stars and collapsing.
Then Xu Fei dragged them into a corner cubicle, stripped one of their outfits, and slipped it on, transforming into one of Brother Hao’s close bodyguards in a flash.
