Chapter 176 Luxury Guest Check-in Schedule
The painter, Pei'er, was startled, but before fear came anger!
"Ding-dong~"
Pei'er stood up, grabbed the palette knife lying beside her, and decided to see who had come looking for her!
On the wall in the entryway, the display screen of the video doorbell is quietly lit up, showing the real-time scene outside the door.
Standing outside the door was a woman with a stunning figure, wearing a pink long-sleeved shirt, black jeans, and long, curly blue hair. She was wearing a four-leaf clover accessory and looked innocent and harmless. She was Elena, a top supermodel.
"Elena? You wanted to see me?"
Elena: "I'd like to talk to you, is that a good time for you?"
——
When Pei Hening wanted to call Anna to ask where the painter Pei'er lived, Blanche sent her a message.
[Blanche]: I've been negotiating with the former mayor, and if all goes well, I should be able to get the documents within an hour.
[Trappis]: You should have a guest list, right? And you should have arranged which room for them, right?
[Blanche]:?
[Tsuibisi]: Send me a copy.
[Blanche]:...
She eventually sent Pei Hening a guest list and accommodation arrangements for the guests.

22 high rollers, 13 women and 9 men.
Three wealthy guests died: two men and one woman, along with a woman who'sneaked in'.
Pei Hening needs to take her time to remember so many names at once.
She extracted important information: the painter, Pei'er, lived in 24-01.
Pei Hening walked towards the entrance and subconsciously looked in the mirror.
She wore a pale yellow long-sleeved shirt, light blue low-waisted jeans, a diamond-encrusted belt, a bright yellow diamond necklace, and her long black curly hair was styled in a princess updo with a small yellow diamond flower clip.
She took down the navy blue coat hanging on the hanger and put it on. A few strands of long, black curly hair were inadvertently pressed under the coat. She tilted her head slightly, freed her hand, and gently hooked along her neckline to pull out the hair that had been pressed down.
24th floor.
As Pei Hening stepped out of the elevator, she saw the painter Pei'er, holding a palette knife, and the supermodel Elena standing together, talking.
No one knows what supermodel Elena said, but Pell's expression turned very ugly.
Seeing that supermodel Elena was about to take Pei'er away, Pei Hening stepped forward and said, "Elena, what a coincidence."
Elena paused for a moment before saying, "Treebes, you're here too?"
Pei Hening, true to Cui Bisi's character, said with dissatisfaction, "Of course I can come. On the contrary, I don't know where you got the invitation from."
"Where are you taking Pei'er?"
Elena clearly hadn't expected Tribes to suddenly verbally attack her, and instinctively retorted, "If any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come, why can't I?"
She had barely finished speaking when all the color drained from her face; she had gone out of character.
Elena's character is that of a "green tea b*tch," seemingly innocent and harmless on the surface, but actually scheming and adept at disguising herself, using tactics such as feigning weakness and playing the victim to benefit herself and seize resources.
She never showed her true colors to outsiders, so her sarcastic retort certainly went against her established persona.
Pei Hening looked at Pei'er: "Where is this liar taking you?"
— Tribeca and Elena have a long-standing feud over competing for resources, and the two can't stand each other, with their fans also fighting each other.
—At a charity gala, Elena was not invited but entered by using someone else's invitation. Tribes found out and has been using this incident to attack her ever since.
Pei'er was unaware of the feud between the two women. She looked up at Elena and mumbled, "Something came up, Tribes. You need something from me too?"
Pei Hening nodded: "Yes, my matter is definitely more important than hers. Would you like to talk to me?"
Seeing her hesitation, Pei Hening gave her a specific time: "Two minutes."
Pei'er nodded: "Okay."
Pei Hening looked at Elena, her meaning clear—make room for the two of them.
Elena forced a smile and said, "Pelle, I'll wait for you over there."
Once the person had walked away, Pei Hening cut to the chase: "Have you had any private contact with the royal translator Merkel? I mean, after you came out of the banquet hall."
Pei'er's eyes sharpened, and she asked, "What do you know?"
Pei Hening shrugged and spread her hands: "Then you're wrong, I don't know anything."
Pei'er stared intently at her face, making sure she wasn't lying, and said disappointedly, "No."
She inexplicably confided her suspicions to her: "But I think Merkel is already dead."
Pei Hening was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to be so candid.
Pei'er said confidently, "You guessed it too."
Pei Hening squinted at her. Pei'er was 1.68 meters tall, wearing a yellow dress with an irregularly shaped belt. Her black hair was braided into a side braid and she wore crystal accessories. She looked quite harmless.
That is, if we ignore the palette knife in her hand—she is not a woman who is weak and helpless.
"Don't be nervous. Although I am a painter, I also study psychology and work in a government agency."
Pei'er wore a bitter face, ignoring the OOC warning.
She originally intended to honestly follow her character and complete the battle royale level, but after clearly sensing the killing intent emanating from the other party, she had no choice but to go out of character.
In case this guy really kills her.
Before she fled to the highways, Pei'er was a criminal profiler working for the police department, and she had been keeping an eye on Tribes for a long time.
She guessed that Tribes had entered the special dungeon more than once, and that she was confident she could clear it.
Pei Hening's smile didn't reach her eyes. She asked, "What does Elena want with you?"
