Chapter 563 Check the room
Jiang Qilan wanted to go back to the room to see Cheng Ling immediately.
Unfortunately, he couldn't.
——The show had to be done in full, and those in the dance floor were all his guests.
Abandoning the guests was not in line with Fang Wenjian's personality.
Fang Wenjian was a businessman who was very good at taking shortcuts and managing personal connections.
A businessman would not go without profit - personal connections represent interests.
This banquet was a road paved by the Heji Society for Fang Wenjian to expand his business scale - it was impossible for him to leave at this moment.
So, Jiang Qilan could only be very alert to deal with his guests.
Jiang Qilan shuttled through the crowd, toasted with wealthy businessmen, called political dignitaries brothers, or made some vulgar jokes together, and teased the current president together...
At the same time, he would occasionally glance at Batty and Amos sitting at the round table in the corner.
——Jiang Qilan knew very well the reason why Amos stayed.
He also knew very well that Amos had no chance to dig out information about [Cheng Ling] from Batty.
Although there were many political figures in the White Club, there was only one big shot like the governor, Amos.
Everyone in the room wanted to get closer to Amos, even if it was just to get acquainted.
And there were quite a few people who did so.
Since Amos sat at the round table, there had been an endless stream of guests coming to talk to him.
Amos couldn't refuse, let alone drive them away.
Battie tried to sit farther away to make it easier for them to chat.
Amos sat there for more than half an hour, but he didn't say a complete sentence to Batty.
Finally, Amos gave up.
He pretended to yawn, looked at his watch, and said to the people he was chatting with: "It's getting late. I still have some official business to deal with, so I won't stay here. Goodbye."
Bati stood up and shook hands with Amos: "Old friend, see you next time."
Amos said goodbye to Batty and found his nephew John in the corner of the dance floor - he was rubbing his ears with a handsome young man.
He dragged John to Jiang Qilan, who was chatting and laughing with someone.
Jiang Qilan raised his glass and said to his chatterer: "Sorry."
The chatterer walked away, leaving space for the three of them.
"Mr. Fang, I apologize to you again for John's rudeness." Amos said sincerely.
John bowed to Jiang Qilan.
Jiang Qilan waved his hand generously: "I'm not that petty. But, little John, you should learn more from your uncle in dealing with people in the future!"
John bit his back teeth and replied: "Okay, Mr. Fang."
After a few pleasantries, Amos finally took John away.
After the two left, Batty stood up from his booth and came to Jiang Qilan.
"Mr. Fang, you can leave now. If you are here, the guests will not be able to have a romantic encounter."
Jiang Qilan looked embarrassed, "Will this be impolite?"
"No," Batty smiled and narrowed his eyes, "You go, although you are the protagonist of this banquet, I am the organizer. I will be responsible for arranging the subsequent entertainment for the guests."
Jiang Qilan clenched his fists, and Batty also clenched his fists.
The two fists touched each other.
"Thank you, my brother." Jiang Qilan said.
"Brother, this is what I should do." Batty replied.
Jiang Qilan did not hide his anxiety and happiness. After saying goodbye to several important guests, he walked away from the venue with long legs.

Cheng Ling breathed a sigh of relief and put down the pocket reverse detection recording and video equipment in her hand.
After she was led to the presidential suite by the waiter, she went directly to the wine cabinet to open a bottle of red wine, and drank it while browsing her phone.
In fact, she was not really browsing her phone.
She needed to determine whether there were hidden cameras connected to the Internet in the room.
But it didn't matter, she could find out soon:
She made an APP for Internet use.
The interface of the APP looks like a social network platform, but it actually connects to the wireless network to find out whether there are suspicious Internet devices in the room, such as: real-time Internet cameras and sound transmission devices.
The APP shows that there is only one mobile device in the regional network of the room, and there is no [packet loss] in the network.
(Packet loss is a network term. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. One of them is that data is lost due to the existence of multi-line transmission. Cheng Ling uses this technology to find hidden communication lines.)
Since there is no real-time recording and video equipment, Cheng Ling does not need to be careful to disguise her behavior.
She put down her wine glass and mobile phone, took off her high heels, lifted the hem of her skirt, and tied a neat knot just above her knees.
Then, she raised her hand to take off her ruby earrings.
She used the fine needle part of the earrings to pry open a clever mechanism in the phone case, and she took out a card-shaped, reverse detection recording and video instrument from the phone.
This instrument can release radio waves and can display thermal imaging to check whether there are hidden running devices.
Cheng Ling checked inch by inch, carpets, chandeliers, wall-mounted TVs, bathroom showers, floor drains...no possible place was missed.
The presidential suite is more than 300 square meters. Cheng Ling had some backache after checking it all.
But she breathed a sigh of relief.
The room was clean.
Just then, the sound of a card being swiped was heard outside the door.
