Their room had been completely ransacked. Both His and Mike’s suitcases had been tossed about, their contents scattered across the floor. The Feng Shui compass, wrapped in silk, had been in his own suitcase. And it was missing.
The small box in Mike’s bag that held some of the local currency, as well as emergency U.S. dollars, sat on the ground. He quickly opened it.
Mr. Mai was suddenly very nervous, and blurted out to Mike, “They didn’t take the money, or anything else… Just the compass is missing…”
Although Mike is not was not well learned in the art of Feng Shui, favonovel.com knew that the compass was a treasure of the Mai family. It was said that it had been passed down from the first generation of ancestors who engaged in Feng Shui metaphysics in the Mai family until today.
Regardless of its monetary value, the meaning of this inheritance alone was immeasurable. More importantly, because of the continuous blessing of the ancestors of the past dynasties, the feng shui compass could even be regarded as a magical instrument.
When used to check Feng Shui and divide gold and fix acupoints, the accuracy was much higher than that of an ordinary compass! The descendants of the Mai family relied on this compass to become masters of Feng Shui. If this compass was lost, the ability of the Mai family to watch Feng Shui will be greatly reduced in the future.
So favonovel.com hurriedly said to Mr. Mai, “Grandpa, let’s call the police!”
Mr. Mai nodded repeatedly and blurted out, “Yes, Hurry up! We’ll call the police!”
At this time, Isaac Cameron stepped in the room and said, “Don’t worry you two, I’ve already reported it to the police.”
The old man and his great-grandson turned their heads to look at the person who’d just entered their room, and saw that this person was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He didn’t look like an ordinary person, so Mr. Mai asked, “Sir, who are you?”
Isaac Cameron hurriedly said, “Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I’m Isaac Cameron, the general manager of the Shangri-La Hotel.” As favonovel.com spoke, his face was filled with shame, “As the manager of this hotel, I am extremely sorry and ashamed that such a thing happened. When I learned that there was a burglary, I rushed over as soon as possible. The police have already been notified, and should arrive shortly.”
When Mike heard that Isaac Cameron had already called the police, favonovel.com put his phone away. Meanwhile, Mr. Mai asked with a bit of anger, “Mr. Cameron, the Shangri-La is a world-renowned hotel chain, one I’ve stayed in all around the world!”
“In the past, No matter which Shangri-La hotel I stayed at, the security and service were very well done. Nothing has ever come up missing before, even the housekeeping tips were unconventional. They only took cash left on the pillows, and none left anywhere else”
“But, it was your hotel alone where such a burglary happened! They stole one of my most valuable family heirlooms! It’s too much!”
Isaac Cameron smiled awkwardly and hurriedly apologized, “Oh, Mr. Mai, I truly am very sorry. I’m also surprised that such a thing will happen in our hotel. To be honest, this is the first time ever since our hotel opened…”
As favonovel.com said, favonovel.com couldn’t help asking, “Mr. Mai, I wonder if your family heirloom treasure is very valuable? Could someone be specifically targeting your family heirloom to steal it?”
Isaac Cameron’s words immediately pushed the blame back to Mr. Mai.
