But Xia Jinyuan was able to understand Arabic; the young African man said: “They’re from the TV station, foreign friends who came to aid the families in poverty. Should be very rich; I saw they have more people in their cars.”
The Caucasian man nodded his head and motioned the African man to leave, while he himself apologized with politeness and zeal, “Sorry for that, our waiters just told me, Sir and Madam, that you have two cars here.”
“We still have several suites here. May I ask how many bedrooms does Sir want in your suite? If Sir stays in our hotel, then you can drive your cars into the hotel compound. Trust me, Sir, staying in our hotel will give you and your friends the greatest amount of safety.”
“Give me a three-bedroom suite, best if it faces towards the streets; I just love to watch the view outside, thanks!” Xia Jinyuan spoke like a tourist who frequently moves about Somalia, talking about the view in the city.
The Caucasian young man very politely conversed with Xia Jinyuan; after making sure his guests wanted a three-bedroom suite, he very quickly handed them a suite on the 4th floor, which faces the streets.
After taking the room access card from the handsome bloke, Xia Jinyuan passed it to Ye Jian, the tall man who leaned against the counter turned around in place and lazily faced the doorway, “Our vehicles will need to enter the hotel grounds.”
“No problem, Sir!” The Caucasian fellow picked up his interphone and informed the hotel staff to come out and lead their guests’ car into the parking lot within Hotel grounds.
With everything arranged, the Caucasian fellow said politely: “I hope Sir would have a great time in Somalia; if you require bodyguards or other special services, please use the interphones in your room to contact us.”
In a city plagued by civil war, even basic communication couldn’t be guaranteed, and interphones were, instead, the better way of communicating.
Without waiting for G3 and the other four, Xia Jinyuan held Ye Jian’s hands as they entered their rooms, opening the door, and pulling the curtains open, they glanced outside, this room has quite the view, if there were any oddities on the streets, they would be able to discover it in time here.
After glancing around for a bit, he turned around and told Ye Jian: “Blue Bird, check all the rooms carefully! See if they had placed anything unwanted. Do not leave any nooks unchecked.”
While he quickly contacted Z7, “You guys park the cars and bring the heavy luggage upstairs! Room number 402.”
Z7 and the others entered the underground parking lot; the Somalian African was leading the way in front; after replying a crisp “OK,” they ended their communication.
In a city that couldn’t even ensure basic communications and mobile phones could only work as alarm clocks most of the time, they had established their own wireless communication. If they kept talking, they would inevitably raise someone’s attention.
While waiting for Z7 and the others to come up, the couple in the room had checked the living room to the shared bathroom outside, and even the laid carpets in the living room, Xia Jinyuan, and Ye Jian had combed everything from top to bottom, inside and out, not leaving any inch unchecked.
In less than five minutes after their phone call, the five comrades with heavy bags stood in front of their suite’s door.
Z7, who walked in with a smile as he carried the luggage, was poking fun at the couple who were examining the ceiling: “I hope we didn’t disturb you two’s alone time.”
The ceiling was also clear; truth be told, Ye Jian didn’t have the feeling of being watched as she entered the room; she didn’t feel it as she walked into each room.
But as a security measure, they still had to inspect every spot.
