12 years ago, the third young miss of the Su family was disfigured by a fire. Her parents, deeming her ill-fated, drove her out of the house.
12 years later, she became a sacrifice for a fami...
Chapter 355 His Cufflinks
The moment she landed, Jiuyao felt a sharp pain in the soles of her feet. Her body fell forward uncontrollably, and her knees hit the ground. Although she was protected by her trousers, they were definitely scratched.
But none of this mattered. She gritted her teeth, made no sound, endured the severe pain in her feet, and walked along the wall to the parking area.
It should have been late at night and there were few cars in the parking lot. She found her car at a glance, got in quickly and drove out of the teahouse parking lot.
After successfully escaping to the main road, Su Jiuyao's heart was still beating wildly.
She knew that the other party was very powerful, and even if she ran out of the teahouse, she might not be safe.
The most important thing now is to find Gu Hanye. I looked at the time on the car's central control screen and it was already early morning.
She has been unconscious for two or three hours. Is Gu Hanye okay now?
Jiuyao stepped on the accelerator again and increased the speed of the car. There were few cars on the road. Ten minutes later, her car drove into the hotel's ground parking lot.
She endured the pain in her feet and ran into the bright hotel lobby.
When she walked into this magnificent hotel, Su Jiuyao's heart was temporarily at ease. Everything seemed peaceful here, the staff were calm, and some were even talking and laughing.
From this point of view, Gu Hanye should not have left the hotel, and Chu Shao's men have not alarmed the people in the hotel for the time being.
Therefore, Gu Hanye was still hiding in a room upstairs. As long as she could find Gu Hanye before Mr. Chu's men, it would be fine.
When the waitress at the first-floor service desk saw Su Jiuyao approaching, she quickly stood up, smiled professionally, and politely asked, "Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?"
"I'm looking for Gu Hanye. I'm his wife. Which floor is he on?"
She thought that someone like Gu Hanye would be the center of special attention wherever he went, so asking the receptionist directly was the fastest way.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the other party was stunned for a moment, then looked at her carefully and said, "Madam, Mr. Gu is in room 1016 on the tenth floor. However, it seems that they haven't finished yet, and Mr. Gu doesn't want to be disturbed..."
"I see. Thank you."
Su Jiuyao held on to a glimmer of hope and thought that if Gu Hanye had not finished his social engagements, then perhaps the information the two people in the teahouse had received was not accurate, and perhaps Gu Hanye was not injured.
Ignoring the waiter's obstruction, she quickly walked into the elevator that happened to be parked on the first floor and pressed the button for the tenth floor.
The elevator stopped on the tenth floor. Jiuyao walked out of the elevator and looked around. There was no one in front or behind. The silence made her feel uneasy.
Su Jiuyao looked at the number plate on the door and quickened her pace. Even though her feet were in severe pain, every step felt like walking on nails.
Soon, she arrived at the door of box 1016. The door was ajar. She knocked on the door, but no one responded, so she pushed it open and went in.
The scene in front of her made Su Jiuyao gasp.
It was a mess inside. In the outer living room, the bookshelves were tilted, the table was overturned, and the chairs were lying on the ground. The inner dining room was even more of a mess.
Apparently, a vicious fight had taken place here, and the hotel staff hadn't noticed yet.
"Gu Hanye! Gu Hanye!"
She shouted twice in a low voice, but in the messy room, no one responded except her own breathing and footsteps.
I quickly checked the coat room and bathroom in the private room, but didn't see Gu Hanye. I didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
A shiny cufflink reflected a tiny ray of light on the floor, which jumped into Su Jiuyao's eyes.
She immediately bent down to pick it up. It was Gu Hanye's cufflinks. At the same time, she also saw bloodstains on the ground.
