Chapter 140 You Don't Deserve It
He Jinzhao had finished searching the top floor and returned to the third-floor area where everyone was.
Upon seeing the familiar phone in Si Yue's hand, he strode over and asked, "Where did you find it?"
Qi Feng replied, "In the trash can closest to the elevator on the third floor."
He Jinzhao's face was extremely tense, and his sharp eyes swept over the crowd. Even without asking, he knew what the outcome would be.
The air fell silent.
Everyone looked at He Jinzhao, wanting to know what his next move would be.
We can't just wait around.
Who knows what that madman Shen Yanci might do to Song Shiyi?
"What about the other two?"
He Jinzhao suddenly asked a question.
"What?"
Xie Lin didn't react for a moment.
Lu Tianyun immediately thought of it and looked at He Jinzhao seriously, saying, "I'll go call someone."
The moment he took his first step, several crew members who had finished their work walked past them.
Judging from their uniforms, they are kitchen staff.
I was a little curious when I saw this group of people, thinking they were playing some kind of secret game.
However, they quickly looked away, recognizing the distinguished guest of the evening.
It's very impolite to stare at someone.
Upon seeing them, the group recalled what had just happened and began to whisper among themselves.
"I thought I wouldn't be able to get off work until very late today, but I didn't expect this to happen, so I finished work before midnight."
"Who can argue with that? It's so nice to be rich. You can spend so much money just to celebrate your birthday. But it's really unlucky to encounter something like this on your birthday."
"Hahaha, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have known that one of our colleagues is gay."
"Didn't you see that Guo Tingdu resigned and left?"
"Tsk, to be honest, he's moving way too fast. It seems he really hates homosexuality."
Upon hearing this, He Jinzhao suddenly stepped forward and blocked their path, coldly asking, "Who did you say resigned?"
The group was startled and puzzled as to why he would ask such a question, but they answered anyway.
"Guo Ting."
He Jinchao frowned.
Lu Tianyun explained, "She's a mistress."
Several people: "?"
Is Guo Ting a mistress?
How could they not know?
Unfortunately, no one could answer this question for them.
"You mean he's already disembarked?"
"Yes, just half an hour ago, we were all quite surprised..."
He Jinzhao didn't hear what they said after that.
It seems his guess was correct; Shen Yanci was indeed the person behind it all, and Guo Ting was probably the one he bribed to administer the drug.
That previous explanation was just to dispel their doubts.
Furthermore, Lu Tianyun specifically mentioned that he was very angry and threatened to resign.
All of this seemed so logical and natural.
It's reasonable and nobody thinks it's wrong.
However, Shen Yanci overlooked one crucial point.
Song Shiyi did not believe him.
He himself was overconfident.
In that case, Song Shiyi will only be...
Time was ticking away, second by second.
Almost forty minutes have passed since Song Shiyi went missing.
Si Yue was extremely anxious; she didn't understand why He Jinzhao was wasting his time asking this question.
In her view, these problems have absolutely nothing to do with Song Shiyi's disappearance.
Lu Tianyun already said that, didn't she?
There was nothing wrong with the items on site, so there was no way someone had tampered with them. Guo Ting resigned simply because he couldn't tolerate a man liking him.
That makes sense.
Just as she was about to speak, He Jinzhao asked a seemingly random question.
Where is Guo Ting's dormitory?
Everyone was stunned.
The staff members were also caught off guard.
Tell me, where is it?
His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared intently at the group, his gaze unwavering, giving off a strangely terrifying feeling.
Some of them were frightened.
"...In, in the innermost room on the second basement level."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jinzhao turned and ran.
His hands were still trembling when he was in the elevator.
Hopefully, I hope he hasn't made a mistake in judgment.
They searched every habitable place thoroughly.
In addition to staff dormitories.
Why?
Why is Guo Ting leaving tonight?
Even if he wants to resign, it's only for one night, why can't he wait?
Unless, of course, his room has another purpose.
—
He Jinzhao had a premonition of what would happen, but when he saw the scene with his own eyes, he couldn't control his emotions at all.
The thought of what Shen Yanci was going to do to her made the tension in her mind snap.
Song Shiyi's soft sobs penetrated his ears, burning his nerves.
All that remained in his ears was the deafening roar of gushing blood, shattering the sanity he had barely managed to maintain.
He walked up to the shocked man, his expression gloomy, his cheeks twitching slightly, looking at him as if he were looking at a lump of rotten flesh.
Shen Yanci snapped out of his daze, his face turning grim: "You..."
He was interrupted by He Jinzhao as soon as he uttered a single word.
His eyes were a pure, dark black, filled with a fierce intensity, as he spoke, each word distinct and deliberate:
"Chen Yan Ci".
"You're asking for it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the other person by the collar and slammed him against the wall with a deafening thud.
He Jinzhao's eyes were frighteningly bloodshot. He didn't loosen his grip on his collar, and his other fist slammed down hard.
"Bang--"
The fist slammed into Shen Yanci's face, drawing blood immediately.
Before Shen Yanci could even groan, he was overwhelmed by the following punches.
He Jinzhao seemed to have completely lost his mind, landing punches on his face, chest, and abdomen with all his might.
The dull thuds echoed in the room, sending chills down one's spine.
Shen Yanci had witnessed how He Jinzhao single-handedly pinned more than a dozen people to the ground and beat them so badly they couldn't move.
He never imagined that one day these same fists would fall on him.
hiss……
That's really ruthless; they showed absolutely no mercy.
There is no doubt that he cannot defeat He Jinzhao.
But that doesn't stop him from being annoying.
"He Jinzhao, if you have the guts, then kill me today."
"Otherwise, I'll look down on you."
He Jinzhao remained silent, his temples throbbing. His gaze, cold and menacing, fell on the man's face. With a sudden jerk of his wrist, he slammed the man to the ground.
Shen Yanci fell to the ground, his bones hitting the ground with a dull, crisp sound.
He groaned, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead, sliding down his temples and splashing onto the cold ground, leaving a small wet patch.
A dull pain spread down his spine, and he curled up, feeling excruciating pain even when he tried to breathe.
The bright light from outside the door shone on He Jinzhao's back, making his figure appear even more upright and aloof.
He looked down at the people on the ground, his dark eyes surging with lingering ferocity. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he slowly spoke.
"If you want to die, I can grant your wish."
"But I won't lay a hand on you; you're not worthy."
It took Shen Yanci a while to finally manage to prop himself up.
A sharp pain shot through his left ribs, causing him to furrow his brow and turn deathly pale.
He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the blinding light to look at He Jinzhao's silhouette, blurred and indistinct by the halo of light.
Previously, the two would walk arm in arm, chatting and laughing.
Now, tensions are high, and the two sides are locked in a fierce battle.
Things are different now; we've gone in the opposite direction.
One person stands in the light, the other hides in the darkness.
Light and darkness draw a chasm.
One wrong step on this path can lead to a completely different life.
