Mingzhuo asked with a smile, "Do you genuinely want to thank me, or are you just trying to keep me here?"
Jiang Yunli was slightly surprised: "What are you saying?"
He Wangyao stepped forward, "Stop pretending! What exactly does your Jiang family want by keeping a ghost captive? Even the female ghost has come to me for help!"
Jiang Yunli was even more surprised. "I don't understand what you're saying at all. My grandfather was the leader of the Xuanmen sect in Xiangshi. He killed countless ghosts in his life and never bothered to associate with ghosts and monsters."
He paused for a moment, then added, "If you don't believe me, why don't we go and ask my grandfather for an explanation now?"
He Wangyao looked at the other person suspiciously, but seeing that the other person was sincere and not pretending, she hesitated for a moment.
"Boss, he seems to be fine." He whispered to Mingzhuo.
Mingzhuo: "He has no problems? He has huge problems! Yaoyao, you don't have good judgment."
Jiang Yunli awkwardly but politely stepped back a little to avoid being suspected of eavesdropping.
He Wangyao was a little confused. Her boss wouldn't make things up without a reason. There must be a reason why she deliberately led her from the fire escape to this floor to block Jiang Yunli.
"Oh no, could this be a diversionary tactic?" He Wangyao's heart sank. "Axu is in danger!"
Mingzhao: "..."
She was just about to say something when her phone rang.
He Wangyao immediately tensed up when she saw Gu Xu's name on the caller ID.
Mingzhuo pressed the answer button in front of several people.
"Zhuozhuo, something's happened!" Gu Xu's voice was urgent. "Lin Rujin seems to have been murdered. Your sister is at the scene, and Lin Xuelan has already called the police!"
——
Gu Xu received the news immediately.
In less than a minute, he arrived at the 18th floor and met up with Mingzhuo.
This hotel belongs to his company, and he was worried that someone might harm Nguyen Minh Anh and Minh Chok tonight, so he asked the duty manager to make him the primary liaison.
Therefore, upon discovering the problem, the manager immediately blocked the news and urgently reported it to him.
"Let's go, Lin Xuelan is causing trouble, the police are almost here."
He Wangyao's heart sank, and she walked forward anxiously: "Could it be that tonight's target is Sister Mingying? Oh my god!"
Gu Xu stopped and looked at Ming Zhuo.
Ming Zhuo stared at Jiang Yunli, "Isn't Young Master Jiang coming along?"
Jiang Yunli was taken aback: "Would it be inconvenient for me to go?"
“You have to go. It’s up to you whether you want to walk there yourself or be invited by me.” Ming Zhuo stepped forward lightly, blocking all of Jiang Yunli’s paths.
Jiang Yunli asked in a gentle tone, "Is there a difference?"
Mingzhuo: "Of course there is. If I had to ask three or four times, I probably wouldn't need my legs anymore. I might as well just break them."
She wasn't always patient; if the other party didn't cooperate, she planned to take action directly.
He Wangyao was a little confused. Why did the atmosphere suddenly become so tense?
Jiang Yunli: "..."
He was used to wearing a mask and being insincere with people, and never expected that Mingzhuo had such a straightforward style.
A wise man knows when to yield. He decisively followed He Wangyao into the elevator, looking down at the reflection of his image in the elevator car, a slight smile curving his lips.
He believed that Mingzhuo's arrogance at this time was a remedy for a mistake made in the end.
He checked and found that only Ming Zhuo, He Wangyao, and Gu Xu were attending the banquet tonight; no one else came.
With these three people tied down, Ruan Mingying is left without anyone.
What use is a talisman to an ordinary person? They weren't even planning to harm her in the first place.
In particular, this operation was carried out very cleanly from beginning to end, leaving no room for doubt.
Mingzhuo hurriedly blocked him, but it was of no use.
——
When the group arrived on the fourth floor, Lin Xuelan was already exhausted from banging on the door.
She was furious and was determined to file a complaint against the hotel manager and duty supervisor. She immediately asked a staff member to accompany her, but instead, she ended up with a burden!
This bunch of idiots refused to cooperate in breaking down the door, saying they were afraid of customer complaints and wanted to wait for the police to arrive.
This is clearly due to cowardice, reluctance to take responsibility, or wishful thinking that there is probably no problem inside.
"This is a matter of life and death, why are you dragging your feet like this? What are you trying to do?" Lin Xuelan questioned loudly.
Seeing Mingzhuo and the others approaching, she became even angrier.
How could we have provoked this great demon king in the first place?
Fortunately, the police arrived at that moment.
Lin Xuelan suddenly felt emboldened. "Police, please save my sister! Something must have happened to her! I've been knocking on the door, but no one will open it!"
The lead police officer didn't dare delay and immediately said to the manager, "Where are your hotel's key cards? Open the door now!"
Mingzhuo: "Wait a minute, what exactly happened?"
Several police officers were taken aback. They had received a report of a murder in the hotel, and the suspect was hiding inside and refusing to come out. Naturally, their first priority was to break down the door, hoping to get the victim to the hospital and save his life.
How can there still be people who are so clueless, asking all sorts of questions here?
Lin Xuelan thought it wouldn't hurt to tell you, "I was just trying to talk to Jinbao, but no one answered the door when I knocked. When I called, I heard Jinbao screaming in pain on her phone. She was clearly being assaulted! I asked the hotel security, and only Ruan Mingying went in twenty minutes ago!"
Manager: "We are urgently checking the surveillance footage, but this is indeed the situation we have at the moment."
Lin Xuelan: "Jinbao offended Ruan Mingying today, but how could she be so vicious as to try to kill Jinbao!"
Mingzhuo: "How can you be so sure that a murder happened inside? Maybe you misheard."
