Something's up!
With these words, the other four immediately turned their attention to Li Kai.
Li Kai, though fatigued, stared wide-eyed at the computer screen and shouted, "Last night at 9:12 PM, Su Yu appeared at the East Sea International Hotel!"
East Sea International Hotel?
Others heard this and almost doubted their ears.
How could this be?
Su Yu, a fugitive with no money, managed to check into the East Sea International Hotel?
But Zhang Mingshan quickly rushed to the computer, sharp eyes fixated on the screen.
At 9:12:20, a man in casual clothing indeed entered the hotel.
Despite capturing only half of his profile, Zhang Mingshan recognized him.
"It's him!"
Huh?
Others were equally astonished.
It was really Su Yu?
Upon closer scrutiny, they recognized him.
It truly was Su Yu!
This left them amazed!
And what amazed them even more was that Su Yu had successfully booked a room!
In less than a minute, Li Kai had hacked into the hotel's backend.
The displayed information was clear.
At 9:22 PM, a presidential suite was booked!
Several pursuit officials were flabbergasted by this, even the most experienced among them.
How in the world did a fugitive manage to stay in the presidential suite of the East Sea International Hotel?
This was something they hadn't even dared to imagine!
No wonder they hadn't found him earlier.
After all, their search was focused on places like clubs and KTVs, at best some small inns.
They never imagined that Su Yu would be staying in such a high-end place!
Even Ice widened her eyes in disbelief.
Who could have imagined that while they were up all night searching for him, Su Yu was peacefully sleeping on the plush bed in the presidential suite?
And yet, the same question occupied everyone's minds.
How did Su Yu get so much money?
"First, let's trace his route."
"Alright!"
Li Kai immediately accessed external surveillance footage.
He reconstructed the route using the surveillance feeds.
Soon, a clear route emerged.
Starting from Dongcheng District, Su Yu took a taxi to Nancheng District, then walked a few hundred meters to check into the East Sea Hotel.
The reason they hadn't discovered this earlier was simple—Su Yu had never been caught on surveillance with a clear view of his face.
Furthermore, he had changed his clothes significantly.
None of them had imagined that a fugitive would have money.
As for how Su Yu obtained the money, all signs pointed to Dongcheng District's Antique Street.
However, they were still puzzled about how Su Yu got the money.
Robbery?
That seemed unlikely.
If it were a robbery, the police would have been alerted long ago.
Moreover, their team was cooperating with the police.
If a fugitive engaged in criminal activities, they would be informed immediately.
The production team would also provide support.
The atmosphere in the command center turned somber, but Wang Tao finally spoke up.
"We'll worry about how he got the money later. The most important thing now is to apprehend him. If we don't move now, Su Yu might escape again!"
Wang Tao's words received agreement from everyone.
"Right! Let's catch him first!"
As soon as those words were spoken, Wang Tao sprang into action.
Twenty pursuit officials and five off-road vehicles were mobilized and headed toward the East Sea International Hotel!
Seated in the lead vehicle, Wang Tao squinted and clenched his fist.
"Su Yu, huh? Let's see how you'll escape this time!"
In the live streaming room, viewers witnessed Wang Tao's departure and became increasingly anxious.
"It's over, Su Shen's location has been discovered!"
"Damn, why are they moving so fast? Su Shen's live stream just started!"
"Hahaha, you all keep hyping up this so-called Su Shen, but I think he's about to be caught."
"Exactly, how can one person stand up against an entire team of pursuers? Don't think for a second that these five aren't the best in their respective fields."
"Sitting here waiting for the show to begin!"
At around 8 AM...
This was when most people woke up, and at this time, the live streaming room was incredibly lively.
Everyone was waiting to see Su Yu get caught.
And similarly, at the East Sea International Hotel."
"14th floor...
Su Yu yawned and sat up on the bed.
Looking outside at the bustling Donghai City, he stretched lazily.
"It's another sunny day. I can almost hear the sound of a million yuan being credited to my bank card."
A smile appeared on Su Yu's lips.
For a fugitive, one million yuan on the first day of escape, two million after seven days, doubling every 15 days, then again at 30 days, with the money growing exponentially until reaching the billion-yuan prize.
Just thinking about this made Su Yu's mood exceptionally delightful.
Unbeknownst to him, in the live streaming room, countless viewers were on the edge of their seats.
[Damn! Looks like Su Shen is planning to stay in bed for a while!]
[I'm getting anxious! Wang Tao and the others are already halfway here!]
[Run, Su Shen! Hurry, or it will be too late!]
[Su Shen's awake! Is he planning to run?]
Countless people watched as Su Yu got out of bed, their excitement palpable.
Then, at the next moment, Su Yu headed into the bathroom.
The sound of rushing water echoed, and mist formed on the frosted glass.
He was taking a shower!
Instantly, everyone was dumbfounded.
My goodness!
This was like the emperor not being anxious while the eunuch was!
And he even had the habit of showering in the morning—can you believe it?
[It's over. Su Shen's plan is completely over.]
[Damn it, Su Shen is about to be caught.]
[Everything will be over the moment the pursuers burst in through the door.]
People were feeling a bit overwhelmed.
However, Su Yu remained blissfully unaware. After he finished showering, he put on his clothes, even took time to dry his hair.
"Not bad, looking good."
Su Yu looked at himself in the mirror, completely satisfied.
After everything was done, Su Yu finally walked out of the room under the watchful gaze of the audience.
"I'm a bit hungry. Let's have breakfast."
Speaking to himself, Su Yu headed towards the hotel's restaurant.
His presidential suite card entitled him to a complimentary breakfast.
Why not take advantage of it? It was better than going outside to buy food of lesser quality.
Entering the restaurant on the 7th floor, Su Yu glanced around.
Quite a few people were already there.
Su Yu didn't pay much attention, showing his room key card and then immediately began selecting his favorite dishes.
Australian lobster meat, abalone, hairy crab... finally, he grabbed a glass of milk and a bowl of rice porridge. Su Yu found a seat and began to enjoy his breakfast in peace.
Seeing this, the live streaming room was filled with exasperation.
[Wow, the pursuers' cars are already downstairs, and Su Shen is leisurely having breakfast!]
[Damn! He's eating such a lavish breakfast. Meanwhile, the prison serves only a plate of pickled vegetables and a bun for breakfast!]
[The food might be good, but the problem is... the pursuers are really coming upstairs!]
[Damn, I'm getting so anxious. Run, Su Shen!]
The live streaming room was in chaos.
Meanwhile, Su Yu was calmly enjoying his breakfast.
Why hurry while eating?
As Su Yu was busy devouring the lobster meat, several men were swiftly making their way up the security passage from a distance.
Su Yu's gaze caught sight of them.
Pursuers?
Su Yu looked at their familiar attire, somewhat surprised.
