Lin Qing pressed the knife against Ming Jiayi's barely noticeable scar. His hand trembled slightly, and he murmured softly, "I'm sorry..."

Ming Jiayi felt the tip of the knife pressed against her forehead, so she involuntarily closed her eyes.

Good heavens...

Just like in the original novel, Xiang Wanqiu tried every means to disfigure her.

It's over. Even if I get up now, it's useless. I can't beat them at all...

No, we must act according to the situation and not lose hope.

Lin Qing saw Ming Jiayi's eyelids twitch, and instantly, the hand gripping the knife loosened slightly.

Good heavens, she wasn't drugged.

So, to slash her forehead several times while she was conscious is just too cruel, isn't it?

"Open the door." Gu Shaojin stood at the doorway and commanded in an unquestionable tone.

He had just watched Yu Xin take the elevator to the 17th floor when he immediately called the hotel manager to check the surveillance footage to see which room Ming Jiayi had been taken to.

Unexpectedly, after reviewing the surveillance footage, I saw the four men enter the room.

"Okay." The manager swiped the room card, and then, before the manager could open the door, Gu Shaojin kicked it open.

Yu Xin and the others looked at Gu Shaojin and the others with horror.

Gu Shaojin's gaze was fixed on the knives in Ming Jiayi and Lin Qing's hands.

He took a few more steps forward, his face becoming even colder with anger. He swept Lin Qing's hand away, his eyes filled with rage and murderous intent as he looked at Lin Qing.

The chill emanating from him was even more intense than usual, like a winter evening, making one feel a bit icy and cold.

"Who...who are you? Can't you see I'm...doing business?" Lin Qing stammered.

"Shut up, you clueless idiot. Mr. Gu, what brings you here?" the burly man at the head of the group asked politely, bowing.

Gu Shaojin picked Ming Jiayi up in her arms and said sarcastically, "What? Has your Wolong Group now stooped to being a thug?"

"Mr. Gu, I don't understand what you mean. Could you please explain it more clearly?"

Yu Xin's face turned pale. She looked at Ming Jiayi in Gu Shaojin's arms and immediately felt a little scared.

No way, weren't they just ignoring me downstairs?

This is bad. Offending Gu Shaojin will make things difficult in the future...

"Get out of the way." Gu Shaojin was too lazy to answer the person's question, so she simply said those two words.

Those people wisely stepped aside, after all, they couldn't afford to offend Gu Shaojin. Even if Gu Shaojin provoked them first, they wouldn't have the right to seek revenge.

"Chi Yun, go get the car."

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

The manager followed Gu Shaojin out of the room, forcing a smile. "President Gu, look, we helped you, the acquisition price..."

"Helped me?" Gu Shaojin's tone was extremely cold. "Are you blind? Can't you see how big the security risks are in your hotel? If I had arrived any later, I would be holding a dead body right now."

"Mr. Gu, this...this isn't...our..."

Gu Shaojin entered the elevator, not even deigning to glance at the manager again.

The manager angrily punched the wall.

hateful.

Gu Shaojin is so unreasonable!

They kept pushing the price down to an extremely low level. At this price, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were giving VITE away to the Gu family for free.

But he had a firm grasp on their psychology. If they didn't agree now, VITE would go bankrupt in a few days, and they wouldn't get a single penny!
