Rong Shi brought Gu to the Xinyue Hotel, and Rong Shi showed his ID to find out the room Su Wan was staying in.
The two arrived at Su Wan's room and were about to knock when the door behind them opened.
Jinghong came out of the room and was somewhat surprised to see Rongshi.
"Young Master Rong, Miss Gu, what brings you here?"
Upon seeing Jinghong, Gu Chu exclaimed in surprise, "It's you! You're Lu Beichuan's bodyguard, what are you doing here?"
Jinghong explained, "Young Master Lu asked me to stay and protect Miss Su."
Rong Shi asked in a cold voice, "Where is Su Wan?"
Jinghong said, "She stayed in her room the whole time and didn't come out."
Rong Shi's eyes were icy: "Didn't you come out?"
Gu Chu knocked on Su Wan's door: "Knock knock knock! Wanwan! Wanwan, open the door!"
There was no sound from inside, and Jinghong felt a little uneasy.
"She didn't come out. She ordered breakfast an hour ago," Jinghong explained, sounding somewhat unsure of herself.
Gu Chu knocked on the door and shouted, "Wanwan?"
Rong Shi ordered Jing Hong, "Open the door!"
Jinghong took out the spare room key and opened the door.
The door opened, and the room was empty except for an overturned milk glass and some milk stains that hadn't dried yet.
"What's going on!" Jinghong exclaimed in shock.
Rong Shi's sharp eyes fixed coldly on Jing Hong: "She's been kidnapped!"
Gu Chu ran towards the room, calling out, "Wanwan!"
There was no one in the room, and Gu Chu panicked. She was terrified, just like when Su Wan was kidnapped last time.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Gu Chu cried anxiously.
Rong Shi reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently comforting her, "Don't worry, let's go check the hotel's security footage first."
Jinghong looked guilty: "Young Master Rong, Miss Gu, I'm sorry, I failed in my duty."
After speaking, he bowed deeply to the two of them.
Rong Shi said coldly, "Save those words for Lu Beichuan!"
"Chu Chu, let's go."
Rong Shi led Gu Chu to the hotel manager, and after explaining their purpose, the hotel manager took them to the monitoring room.
From the surveillance footage, everything seemed fine, but the astute Rong Shi still noticed something suspicious.
"stop!"
The security personnel playing the surveillance video paused the monitoring screen.
Rong Shi pointed to the food truck on the surveillance screen and said, "There's someone hiding under that food truck!"
"Really? I didn't see it." The security guard who was watching the surveillance footage looked at the food truck on the screen with a puzzled expression.
"Take a screenshot of this scene and compare it with the scene of the food cart when the customer service representative went in. When the food cart went in, the partition below was higher, and you could see the waiter's feet from the other side. When the food cart came out, the partition below was lowered, leaving almost no gap."
The security personnel did as instructed, and upon comparison, they indeed discovered something unusual. Looking at Rong Shi's military uniform, they praised, "Soldiers are indeed formidable!"
Rong Shi looked at the hotel manager and said, "Let's call the police!"
Gu Chu looked at Rong Shi with concern: "Rong Shi, will Wanwan be alright?"
Rong Shi gently comforted her, "No, if the other person really wanted to do something to her, they wouldn't have sent you that message. Don't worry too much, just wait, that person will definitely contact you again."
Gu Chu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly tugged at Rong Shi's sleeve: "Rong Shi, I have something to tell you."
Rong Shi noticed the hidden meaning in Gu Chu's eyes, and he turned and left the monitoring room.
Gu Chu took Rong Shi back to Su Wan's room and closed the door.
Rong Shi asked, "What's wrong?"
"This is a sensitive matter, and it's not convenient to talk about it outside," Gu Chu explained.
"Yes, I understand. Go ahead and tell me."
"Su Wan offended Huang Jianhan because of me; she was once kidnapped by Huang Jianhan's men..."
Gu Chu told Rong Shi all about the grudges and entanglements between them and Huang Jianhan.
Suddenly, Gu Chu remembered something and took out her phone to open a news webpage.
Trending topics immediately popped up.
A colossal disgrace! A monument erected in front of the Hwado Friendship Park for island nation criminals!
What does the existence of Hwado Friendship Park signify?
Shocking! Traitors still exist even in times of peace and prosperity! Why did the Hwado Friendship Park appear?
"Friendship between China and Taiwan? Spies in Action!"
········
"Tomorrow is the mayoral election day, and they really did make their move," Gu Chu said in surprise.
"You suspect that Huang Jianhan's men kidnapped Su Wan?" Rong Shi asked.
Gu Chu was very confused: "I don't know. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I've offended too many people. It could be the Gu family or the Qi family."
Suddenly, Gu Chu was startled and looked at Rong Shi expectantly: "Could it be Qi Mingxuan? I heard he was released quickly after being arrested!"
Rong Shi said, "I knew about this a long time ago. The Qi Group is not simple. It's not just Huang Jianhan and the Japanese. There should be bigger fish behind them. The reason I haven't made any moves is that I'm waiting for the big fish to surface."
Gu Chu was shocked to hear Rong Shi say this: "What! Is the person behind Qi Mingxuan more powerful than the Rong family?"
Rong Shi narrowed his eyes, a resolute ruthlessness flashing in them: "My Rong family's territory is in JC Province, while A City belongs to JX Province, so it's a bit troublesome to investigate. However, once I finish the task at hand, I will apply for a temporary transfer to A City. No matter how deep the water is, I will bring the big harpoon out of the water and suppress the Qi family!"
Gu Chu stared intently at him and said sincerely, "Rong Shi, thank you!"
“What are you thanking me for? You married me because of my background, that was agreed upon from the beginning,” Rong Shi said.
Gu Chu: "..." A total straight man!
Just then, Gu Chu's phone rang again.
It was Su Wan calling, and Gu Chu answered on speakerphone.
"Wanwan!" Gu Chu said nervously.
