Ye Mingcheng put down his book and said he would go with Tian Tian.

"No need, it's just a few steps, I'm not a child anymore," Tian Tian refused with a smile.

Ye Mingcheng didn't insist, mainly because he felt it was unnecessary. This hotel was a five-star hotel, and the guests who came and went were all prominent figures with high moral character. Moreover, the hotel was very safe, and Tian Tian was very sensible, so Ye Mingcheng felt quite at ease.

Following the signs, Tian Tian slowly walked towards the restroom. She wasn't in a hurry, but sitting was too boring, so she went to the toilet. Walking around would make her less bored, and she also washed her hands, as some food had stuck to them while she was eating, which wasn't very comfortable.

The restroom was a few minutes' walk from the lobby and wasn't hard to find. Tian Tian arrived quickly and ran into the group of workers in uniforms. She couldn't help but glance at them a few times, and one of them glared at her fiercely, saying, "What are you looking at!"

Sweetie was startled and looked away. The other person glared at her, then smiled kindly at her. Sweetie forced a smile, not daring to look at them anymore. She quickened her pace toward the restroom, but a sense of unease crept into her mind. She planned to just wash her hands and return to the lobby; these people didn't seem like good people.

Outside the restroom, two men in hotel uniforms emerged from the adjacent men's restroom, pushing a luggage cart with two large suitcases on it. Tian Tian glanced at it subconsciously, then quickly looked away and continued washing her hands.

"Hurry up!" one of them urged in a low voice. The two quickened their pace, accompanied by the sound of luggage cart wheels, and soon they left the restroom.

Sweetie washed her hands and was about to dry them when something suddenly occurred to her. She stopped and turned to look at the bathroom door, hoping to catch a glimpse of the two staff members from earlier. She caught a glimpse of them at just the right moment; the two men had met up with their accomplice.

"Let's get going!"

Sweetie vaguely heard someone talking, which made her even more confused. How could two waiters go to the restroom at the same time? The chances of two people needing to use the restroom at the same time are not high, and they were not in such a hurry that they had to go. They could have sent their luggage to the room first and then gone to the restroom!

Although she found it strange, Sweetie didn't intend to investigate further. Mind your own business and you'll live longer. She couldn't possibly defeat this group of fierce-looking people. She turned around to go back and dry her hands when she suddenly heard a clatter.

Sweetie subconsciously looked over again, and one of the suitcases was bulging open. Although these people reacted quickly, she still saw a hand, and her heart skipped a beat.

She had a familiar red knot in her hand.

That was a lucky knot she had made herself, which she then personally put on Ye Tong before the competition.

The person in the box is Ye Tong.

Sweetie's expression changed drastically, and she quietly followed behind. These people would definitely pass through the hall, and she could save Xiaotong if she shouted in the hall.

But she was discovered after only a few steps.

Before they even reached the hall, they were knocked unconscious and locked in a box.

Ye Mingcheng paced back and forth in the lobby, glancing towards the restrooms from time to time. Two waiters and two male guests also arrived in the lobby, pushing two suitcases. They were the same people from the restrooms, and they walked past Ye Mingcheng.

The four arrived at the door, where a taxi that had been waiting was parked. They loaded their suitcases into the car, and it drove away quickly, along with the two waiters. Only the luggage cart remained parked forlornly at the door.

Ye Qingqing and the others have arrived in Pingjiang city. Zou Hanqiu and Zhang Zhengrong returned to the hotel. Lu Mo first took the old man and Lin Shufang back to the compound, and then took Ye Qingqing home. On the way, he received a call from Ye Mingcheng.
