Chapter 77
"What?" Wen Zhenni was still wondering why the call had suddenly ended. She stared at the black screen for a long moment and couldn't help but mutter, "This is inexplicable."
She sat back at the table and continued eating when Chengzi suddenly told her, "Sis, there's a typhoon warning. We can't go back tomorrow."
"So sudden?" Wen Zhenni asked, "Is the airport going to be closed?"
Orange: "Well, with the extreme weather of a force 16 typhoon, the entire city has implemented a 'five-day suspension and one-day closure' policy, and flights have been canceled."
Wen Zhenni shook her head after hearing this: "Looks like we're going to be trapped in the hotel and can't move an inch."
Orange replied with a confident look on his face: "Being stuck in the hotel is not so bad, I'm just worried about that pervert being here."
This person really shouldn't talk nonsense sometimes. Orange just said it casually, and it really hit the mark.
There was thunder and lightning outside, and the hotel staff were busy stockpiling supplies for the next three days and reinforcing doors and windows in preparation for tomorrow's typhoon.
They came downstairs intending to take a walk, but the place was a mess and there was no place to step, so they had no choice but to return to their room.
Who knew that as soon as he entered the elevator, Gao Chengsi and his assistant blocked the elevator door and walked straight in.
Wen Zhenni and Chengzi exchanged glances in tacit understanding and both gasped secretly.
This pervert! Why is he haunting me?
Wen Zhenni glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and found that this pervert deliberately leaned over and met her gaze provocatively.
There were quite a few people in the elevator, and they were squeezed in at the back. He wouldn't really do anything in front of everyone, would he?
But as the guests left one after another, this pervert showed no intention of getting off the elevator, and in the end, only four of them were left.
In the narrow cabin, the air suddenly became thin, the atmosphere was weird and creepy, and every second seemed like a year.
Finally, the elevator dinged and their floor arrived.
Wen Zhenni pretended to be calm as she exited the elevator. She heard the man's creepy laughter behind her: "The game is over."
It's impossible to say it's not scary. Wen Zhenni stood outside the elevator and felt a chill running down her back.
"You're crazy, saying some weird things." Orange wiped the goose bumps on his arms, "Let's go back quickly."
"Go, go, go, it's too scary."
Wen Zhenni returned to her room and quickly called Tang Yu: "Has that scumbag contacted you?"
After hearing Tang Yu's voice and confirming that she was safe, Wen Zhenni patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Xiaoyu, listen to me, stay in the room and don't come out. Let your assistant accompany you. That pervert hasn't left Nanbu yet, and he's in this hotel."
After she finished talking to Tang Yu, she immediately contacted the bodyguard. The bodyguard told her that Ciheng had booked the entire staircase with guest rooms, and the bodyguards were nearby and could rush over at any time if anything happened.
Wen Zhenni felt relieved a little and looked out the window. The rain was pouring down.
The thunderstorm lasted for half an hour before gradually subsiding. The wind was calm until the next morning, when there was a light breeze accompanied by drizzle.
Wen Zhenni didn't leave her room. The hotel waiter delivered her meals to her door, and Chengzi took them to her room. She would call Tang Yu periodically to double-check on her safety. This was especially true during meal delivery hours, when accidents were particularly likely to occur.
Near noon, she finally received a message from Lin Nuo, telling her that Gao Chengsi's father had been taken into custody and the rest of his family would be imprisoned. As for Gao Chengsi, the police had just been called.
Wen Zhenni couldn't wait to tell Tang Yu the news, but as soon as the call was connected, there was a loud bang on the other end, followed by Tang Yu's terrified scream.
Gao Chengsi's arrogant voice came from the other end of the phone: "If you don't want her to be okay, come here alone."
His voice was dark and threatening, "If you dare to bring a bodyguard with you, I can't guarantee what I will do to her. You'd better hurry up. If you delay for even a second, I'll strip her naked and upload the photos online."
Wen Zhenni couldn't help but tremble, but she forced herself to calm down: "Okay, okay...you keep your word, I'll come right over."
There was no word on the other end, and the call was abruptly hung up, leaving only a busy tone.
She raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, put the phone in Chengzi's hand, and said calmly, "I'll be there now. Notify the bodyguard immediately, call the police immediately, and then call my husband."
"No!" Chengzi held her back, almost crying, "Sister, I must be with you!"
Wen Zhenni held her down and said, "Be obedient. You have to find a way to save me."
Time waits for no one. She walked around restlessly, her mind in a mess, always feeling like she needed to get something. Finally, she grabbed a bottle of sunscreen spray from her bag.
They hurried to Tang Yu's floor, where three bodyguards stood solemnly outside. Upon seeing Wen Zhenni, they immediately approached, apologetically saying, "It was our fault... We didn't notice he'd sneaked in disguised as a waiter. We didn't react until we heard Miss Tang calling for help, but it was too late..."
Everyone has their moments of carelessness. Wen Zhenni didn't blame him. She winked and pressed the call button on her earrings. Then, holding her breath, she raised her hand and knocked on the door: "I'm here, open the door."
Gao Chengsi, who was inside the room, didn't hesitate at all and directly signaled his bodyguard to open the door. As soon as the door opened a crack, the three bodyguards outside rushed over and pinned his bodyguard to the ground.
Wen Zhenni was still puzzled. That was all he had. But once she entered the bedroom, she felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, sending shivers down her spine. Tang Yu's assistant had been knocked unconscious, while Tang Yu had been stripped of her clothes, her hands tied behind her back, and thrown onto the bed. Her mouth was gagged, and the diamond necklace around her neck was gone.
Wen Zhenni gripped the door handle tightly, turned around and shouted outside, "Don't come in yet!"
If word got out about Tang Yu's condition, how would she live her life in the future? She rushed to the bedside, pulled the quilt over him and wrapped him up: "You lunatic, do you still have any humanity?"
"I'm inhumane...are you scared now?" Gao Chengsi scoffed and slowly raised his hand, the diamond necklace in his fingertips. "Surveillance is something I've played to death. Do you really think I'm that easy to fool?"
Wen Zhenni huddled beside the bed, forcing herself to remain calm and warned, "I advise you not to do anything rash. My bodyguards are all outside."
"Bodyguards, I remember those female artists hired a lot of them before, but what happened..." Gao Chengsi spread his hands as if he had heard a huge joke, "They didn't even dare to fart."
After saying that, he slowly lit a cigarette for himself, twirled the lighter between his fingers, and blew a puff of smoke in her face: "You spent a lot of money, didn't you? You hired so many people."
He suddenly grabbed her chin with such force that Wen Zhenni frowned. He leaned forward and squeezed out the words through his teeth: "Money is shit. Over the years, I've played with so many young ladies that I can't even count them on one hand."
Wen Zhenni shook her head and tried to break free from his hand, but his hand was so tight that it almost crushed her jaw.
Seeing his hand reaching for his collar, Wen Zhenni took out the sunscreen spray that she had been holding in her palm for a long time and pressed it hard into his eyes.
Gao Chengsi was caught off guard and was sprayed in the face with liquid. The liquid quickly seeped into his eyes. He covered his face and screamed a few times, shouting at the assistant commander: "Catch this bitch!"
Just as the assistant was about to grab Wen Zhenni, the bedroom door was kicked open with a bang. A long-haired female bodyguard rushed in like a whirlwind, kicked the assistant away, and then grabbed Gao Chengsi's arm and pressed him against the wall.
"Sister." Chengzi ran over and hugged Wen Zhenni, "Are you okay?"
Wen Zhenni finally lost her strength and threw away the deformed spray bottle. With trembling hands, she untied the ropes on Tang Yu and ordered her, "Chengzi, call the emergency number."
The bodyguards escorted Gao Chengsi and others out of the room. The door was already blocked by Gao Chengsi's bodyguards and financial team, as well as many guests and hotel staff attracted by the noise.
Gao Chengsi's agent saw this and immediately raised his phone, shouting, "Everyone, look! Celebrity Wen hired someone to beat someone up, and is anyone doing anything about it?"
"Bah! You broke into a female guest's room and assaulted her, and you still have the nerve to turn the tables on her." Orange snatched the other person's phone and fiercely retorted, "You're trying to confuse right and wrong. You're not even going to do it."
After Chengzi finished speaking, he turned the live camera towards the scene and, while recording, shouted to the audience around him and in front of the camera, "Come and see what it means to be the first to complain, what a black market is! Gao Chengsi, disguised as a waiter, forcibly broke into a female guest's room with ill intentions. This is the truth!"
Gao Chengsi, whose arm was twisted, felt unbearable pain in his eyes. He was already furious, and upon hearing this, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Do you know who I am? My father is in the circle..."
"Yes, you're from the inner circle." Wen Zhenni followed from behind with her arm slung, not shying away from being in the camera. "You're relying on your family's power to act tyrannically, breaking into a female guest's room in broad daylight. What do you call this? This is collusion between officials and gangsters!"
"...Don't listen to her nonsense, this is a complete frame-up!" Someone from Gao Chengsi's team came up to snatch the phone, but fortunately there were many bodyguards on Wen Zhenni's side, who formed a human wall and they couldn't get close at all.
Wen Zhenni was now in the advantageous position. She grabbed Chengzi's hand and pointed the camera at herself. "It doesn't matter if the hotel surveillance cameras are off. Everyone present saw and heard it with their own eyes and ears. They are all witnesses. It doesn't matter if you're afraid of his retaliation and dare not speak out. I have recorded everything he said and did. This is irrefutable evidence. I can't deny it."
She turned to Gao Chengsi and said, "Also, I forgot to tell you, Gao Chengsi, the news has already reported that your father is corrupt."
Gao Chengsi finally panicked and yelled, "Bitch, how dare you talk nonsense!"
Wen Zhenni: "And your mother and your aunt, they knew about the crime but didn't report it, and even set up a shadow company to help transfer the stolen money. Arrest warrants have been issued and the entire network has been notified. None of them can escape. As for you, being imprisoned as a family member is a light punishment, but you used your power to persecute more than a dozen artists, so you can expect to spend the rest of your life in prison."
Everyone couldn't tell whether what she said was true or not, so they all started looking for information. Then whispers began to spread among the crowd:
“It’s actually true.”
"Oh my god, he's still a corrupt official who embezzled over 10 billion."
Gao Chengsi suddenly went crazy, struggling to pounce on Wen Zhenni, swearing: "Bitch! You are a son of a bitch..."
At that moment, a sudden commotion erupted in the outer circle. As the crowd parted, a tall, stern figure stalked towards them. A terrifying, hostile aura permeated the man, like a surging storm. The once bustling scene fell silent, and everyone was overcome by the oppressive feeling.
The brows and eyes behind his glasses and his black suit were like the chilling cold after a rainstorm. Without giving anyone time to react, he swung a heavy punch and hit Gao Chengsi hard in the face.
The dull thud of bones and flesh colliding was so clear that everyone could hear it. Gao Chengsi didn't even have time to groan before he fell to the ground, curled up on the ground with his hands covering his face, wailing in pain.
The punch was so powerful and fast that it stunned everyone. Wen Zhenni stood there in shock, covering her mouth. It was Chengzi who reacted first and quickly shut down the live stream.
Lin Nuo directed the bodyguards to help evacuate the surrounding crowd, and sent two more female bodyguards to the room to protect Tang Yu and her assistant from leaving the scene.
Wen Zhenni's lips were trembling, whether from fear or she was overly excited. She raised her head and met a pair of fierce eyes. Ciheng stood there, his gaze sweeping over Gao Chengsi, who was still writhing on the ground. His eyes were so cold and fierce that they were truly frightening.
He could easily revoke any exaggerated news. Only when it came to Wen Zhenni's case did he clearly expose the hostility and sharpness beneath his gentle exterior. This was his weakness, his fate.
"Lin Nuo, send the wife away." He ordered in a low voice, "Hand these rubbish over to the police."
He took off his watch and ring and handed them over along with his suit jacket. Lin Nuo took them with both hands and was about to escort Wen Zhenni away.
