Chapter 423 Maybe it’s a case of mistaken identity.
Inside the hotel.
Scarlett had just finished checking out when the receptionist hesitated before stepping forward to stop her.
“Ma’am, please wait!” the receptionist said in English.
Scarlett looked at him, her eyebrows furrowing. “Is there something wrong?”
“I wanted to ask, are you from China, and is your last name Ye?” he inquired.
For him to know so precisely where she was from and her surname, there must be a reason.
Thinking about the commotion in the hotel a few days ago, Scarlett replied, “I am from China, but my last name isn’t Ye!”
The receptionist looked at her, his brow furrowing. Could he have mistaken her for someone else?
Seeing his doubtful expression, Scarlett, who happened to have her passport in hand, showed it to him. “My name is Wen
Yu…”
Upon seeing the name on the passport, the receptionist said, “Sorry, I must have mistaken you for someone else.”
“No problem!” Scarlett was about to leave.
But the receptionist continued, “A few days ago, some men came looking for someone. The person in the photo looked a
lot like you…”
Scarlett paused for a moment but said nothing and walked away.
Watching her leave, the receptionist’s brow furrowed deeply.
Could it really have been a mistake on his part?
Just as he was thinking, two figures walked in. They clearly recognized him and headed straight over.
“Did you call to say the person we’re looking for is still here?” Ray asked.
Seeing them, the staff member immediately spoke up, “Yes, I made the call!”
“Where are they?”
“The person…” The staff hesitated, “I think I might have been mistaken!”
Ray squinted, “What do you mean?”
“The person just checked out. I stopped her and asked if she was from China. She said yes, but the name she provided didn’t match the one you gave,” the staff explained. “So, maybe I got it wrong…”
Ray frowned and looked back at Hugo, saying helplessly, “To these foreigners, we might all look the same…
“What was the name?” Hugo asked the staff.
“She said… Wenwen… Yu?” the staff replied, questioning himself.
Wenwen Yu?
Chapter 423 Maybe it’s a case of mistaken identity.
Hugo was taken aback.
He remembered the first time he met Scarlett Adler at the company. She seemed familiar, and when he asked her name,
she said Wenwen Yu…
His eyes turned sharp. “Where did she go?”
The staff was surprised. He had already told them it might be a mistake, yet they still asked.
“She checked out and just left.”
“Which way did she go?”
The staff thought for a moment and pointed to the right. “She got into a car at the entrance and drove straight ahead!” “I’ll go after her. You check the surveillance–I need to know which car it is!” Hugo said, turning on his heel and walking
away.
Ray didn’t ask any questions. He turned to the waiter, “Take me to the surveillance room!”
The waiter nodded without hesitation and led him there.
Through the cameras, Ray spotted Scarlett Adler, just like he had seen her at the rooftop restaurant that day. Though she had changed her outfit, her striking presence was unforgettable.
At the hotel entrance, Scarlett got into a car. After noting the license plate, Ray called Hugo, “I’ve sent the number to your phone. I’ll have Chris Baker search along the route.”
“Got it.”
Ray paused for a moment, “I checked the footage. It’s her!”
“I know!” Hugo replied without a moment’s hesitation.
Ray wasn’t sure how Hugo could be so certain just from a name. Perhaps it was something only the two of them understood.
“Be careful!” Ray said.
The call ended.
The waiter beside him spoke up, “Is it this lady?”
Ray nodded, “Yes.”
“Then why did she deny it?” the waiter asked. “I told her someone was looking for her…”
Ray had no idea about any of this. He glanced back at the person, “Could you copy this segment of the surveillance footage and send it to my phone? Then delete it.”
The staff, knowing these people were either rich or powerful, nodded, “Sure.”
Outside.
Hugo was driving around aimlessly, searching.

But after a long time, he still hadn’t found the car he was looking for.

Just as he was about to call Ray, he spotted a car on the side of the road. Excitement flashed in his eyes, and he quickly sped up, pulling over abruptly.
The driver was startled and rolled down the window, about to say something when Hugo quickly got out of his car and
approached.
“What are you doing? How are you driving?” the driver asked directly.

Hugo leaned in, noticing the back seat was empty, and frowned.
“What do you want?” the driver asked, looking at him.
Hugo stared at him, “Where’s your passenger? A woman, Chinese?” he asked.
“Why should I tell you? And what’s with your driving?”
With just one look from Hugo, the driver felt a chill run down his spine, momentarily stunned.
“I’ll ask one more time. Where is she?” Hugo asked, enunciating each word clearly.

“Get out, you’re here!” the driver said.
“Where exactly?” Hugo asked.
“Just around the next corner!” the driver replied, then gave him the detailed address.
Once Hugo got the address, he quickly got back into his car and drove over.
The driver watched, feeling puzzled, then muttered to himself as he drove away.
Following the address the driver gave him, Hugo arrived at the corner where Scarlett had gotten out.
After stopping the car, Hugo looked around. Just then, his phone rang.
Seeing the number, Hugo answered, “Ray.”
“About twenty minutes ago, she got out at the corner where you are now and headed into the alley to the south,” Ray
informed him.
Hearing this, Hugo looked in that direction and started walking towards it.
“And then?”
“Did you head back?”
“Yeah!”
Once Hugo reached the alley, he frowned. Although it looked like a simple alley, it branched into three paths.
“The middle one,” Ray directed.
Hugo set his sights and walked down the middle path.
“There are only a few cameras on this road, but I’ve checked. The coverage isn’t great, but with some luck, you might find
her!”
“I got it!” Hugo replied.
“I’ll keep an eye out for you. If I hear anything, I’ll let you know immediately!” Ray said over the phone.
