"Clang!" Gravel fell.

"Ouch!" Shen Xiao covered his head and looked up. "Who threw something from up there? That's immoral... Oh my god!"

Shen Xiao then noticed the devastation on the hotel's exterior wall and was speechless: "You did this?"

"Otherwise, how come I didn't turn into a bloody pulp?"

Shen Xiao sighed, "This has truly become a war-damaged wind."

"Let's go back first."

Shen Xiao: "Huh? Going back in?" What if it suddenly collapses?

Chang Le glanced at him and said, "I know what I'm doing. I haven't damaged its load-bearing structure. At most, it will leak water, but it won't collapse anytime soon."

Shen Xiao was skeptical, but followed her back to the hotel.

...

First floor of Zhongjiang Hotel.

After washing up in the temporarily arranged room, Chang Le sat in a corner of the lobby with Shen Xiao by her side.

On the other side, the residents who had suffered this undeserved misfortune gathered, waiting for the hotel to provide an explanation.

The hotel manager was already in a panic, and looking at the three people standing in front of him only made things worse. These three were none other than Hua Anning, Gu Yujing, and Si Yehong, who had rushed back.

After the medal awarding ceremony, Hua Yuezhi returned to the military headquarters, while Hua Anning and Chang Le stayed here.

Hua Anning and Gu Yujing were on a date when Si Yehong received a message from Shen Xiu and rushed back. When he returned, he saw the terrible scene outside the hotel and heard the surrounding people talking. In particular, he was terrified when he heard them say that a woman had fallen from the top.

When they went inside and saw Chang Le sitting there safely, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After confirming that Chang Le was alright, Hua Anning went directly to the person in charge.

The person in charge is really unlucky; he's on the verge of tears.

He never imagined that his outstanding employee of many years was an assassin who would suddenly attack him inside the hotel, not only injuring the newly awarded Miss Hua but also causing a death!

The hotel was severely damaged, and the hotel's inadequate security was also to blame. In addition, considering Chang Le's identity, they could not ask for compensation and had to pay for it themselves!

The person in charge led the three to the top floor, turned around and smiled apologetically at them, then turned back and began to wail.

I'm losing my job and my underwear—what a Mercury retrograde!

After examining the traces on the top floor, Hua Anning and the other two returned to the first floor.

Hua Anning said to Chang Le, "We can't stay here anymore. Gu Yujing has some vacant houses nearby. Let's go there."

Chang Le said, "No need, I've already found a place to stay. Luo Xuan has a house here."

Just now, she told Ziguiti about the birdman she had encountered. Ziguiti immediately began to investigate and gave her the address of a vacant house under Luo Xuan's name nearby, so that she could stay there temporarily.

Hua Anning felt relieved upon hearing Luo Xuan's voice: "Okay. Then pack your things and head over. Don't worry about things here."

Chang Le asked, "Is it for hotel maintenance?"

Si Yehong laughed and said, "Don't worry, Qinhuang Group is not short of money."

Chang Le exclaimed in surprise, "This hotel belongs to the management committee!"

Qinhuang Group is a business group jointly created and managed by the Qin and Ying families, mainly involved in the real estate and construction industries.

Just then, a familiar voice came: "The law stipulates that he also has to bear some responsibility! Who says he won't pay? Where is he?"

The group turned around and saw Qin Xian walking over with a frown: "It's you guys!"

He walked over and looked him up and down, his gaze settling on Chang Le: "It's you again?"

Hua Anning said coldly, "My sister was injured here with Young Master Qin and is very weak now. Young Master Qin can ask me anything."

"Weak?" Qin Xian chuckled. "Where is she weak? Sigh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chang Le collapsed onto the sofa with a "thud," burying his face in the sofa and remaining motionless.

Shen Xiao pursed his lips and lowered his head to suppress a laugh, while Si Yehong laughed so hard that he supported Gu Yujing and they were doubled over.

Qin Xian glared angrily: "Hua Changle, don't try to scam me!"

"Look how scared you've made my sister!" Hua Anning said coldly, her eyebrows furrowing.

"I didn't talk to you."

Gu Yujing stepped aside to block Hua Anning, coldly looking at him: "Qin Xian, that's too much."

Taking the opportunity, Si Yehong winked at Shen Xiao, who suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Oh dear, I need to take my sister Le to get treatment right away! She'll be in serious trouble if we don't!" With that, he picked her up and ran off.

Shen Xiao shoved Chang Le into the car and drove away.

Two pairs of eyes watched the car drive away.

"Is Chang Le injured?" The one who spoke was Huang Mingfu, who had just parted ways with him earlier, with Hao Ren standing next to him.

"I don't know, but judging from the situation, it must have been a fierce battle." Hao Ren looked worried.

Huang Mingfu's eyes darted around as he looked at Hao Ren with a smile: "By the way, what are you doing here, senior?"

Hao Ren said, "I had some minor work-related matters to attend to, so I came to this branch office to deliver something. I was on my way back when I passed by and discovered the incident. And why is Xiao Huang here? Didn't he say he was going to see a classmate?"

Huang Mingfu laughed and said, "Ugh, don't even mention it! That guy stood me up because he's a girl! I'm so angry! I was just strolling around here when I unexpectedly ran into my senior. What a coincidence!"

Hao Ren chuckled: "It is indeed a coincidence. Let's go back together then."

"OK."

Hao Ren stepped forward slightly, while Huang Mingfu lagged half a step behind. The two stood apart, and Huang Mingfu's smile faded as his probing gaze fell on Hao Ren.

Shen Xiao took Chang Le to Luo Xuan's house according to the address. After sitting for a while, the two chatted about the recent situation of the Nian siblings. After confirming that Chang Le was alright, Shen Xiao left.

The house is cleaned regularly and is very tidy.

Chang Le sat down in the living room, took out the large rabbit and hugged it in his arms. He curled up on the sofa and entered a state of deep thought.

This assassination was no accident. This person had been lying low for many years, and only acted on orders from someone else.
