Then, there was no more sound.
Jian Yu remarked, "The soundproofing of the hotel doors is quite good."
Lone Wolf said, "What are you going to do now? When the police arrive, they will definitely check each of the guests to see if there are any more cases like this."
Jian Yu said, "I'm checking out now and going out for a late-night snack."
I tapped the corridor surveillance camera on my phone screen.
Lone Wolf began packing his things.
Jian Yu changed into disguise and went downstairs first.
The so-called disguise was simply wearing a fleece-lined fisherman's hat and a mask.
As they passed the front desk on the first floor, Jian Yu told them that he had to leave and they could check out.
Because of what happened during the day, the front desk staff had a very strong impression of the room where Jian Yu was currently staying, and after checking out, they notified the cleaning staff to come and clean it.
The cleaning staff received the notification and went upstairs with their tools, but they couldn't open the door.
It's past 10 p.m. now, and the maintenance workers have already gone home. We can only open the door when they come back to work the next day.
"Let's clean it tomorrow! We don't need to worry about it now."
About twenty or thirty minutes later, several police cars pulled up in front of the hotel and, ignoring the suspicious looks from the receptionist, rushed straight to the floor with the deluxe rooms.
The front desk staff immediately notified the duty manager.
No one answered the phone.
The receptionist had no choice but to call the general manager.
The general manager was also completely bewildered. Thinking of the woman in the presidential suite during the day, his heart pounded. "Could something else have happened?"
The deputy security captain was on the night shift. He rushed over and had just stepped out of the elevator when he heard a loud bang.
The police broke down the door.
The deputy security captain was unaware that Jian Yu had already checked out. Thinking that Jian Yu was staying alone, and out of a sense of responsibility, he quietly greeted the last police officer, "What happened? There's a lady staying there. Is she in danger?"
The police ignored him.
Lone Wolf opened the door at the opportune moment, pretending to be frightened by the scene before him. He raised his hands and shouted at the deputy captain of security, "What happened? I just heard that someone almost died at your hotel during the day, and now so many police officers have come. Are you trying to stop people from staying here?"
The deputy security captain gave a wry smile, "I don't know either!"
The lone wolf cried out, "I...I want to check out and leave. This place is too scary."
She turned and ran into the house, then ran out with her already packed luggage.
The police did not stop him.
When they got downstairs, they saw the police asking the arrested people, "Who is Sister Mi?"
The last woman, who was petite, visibly panicked.
The police spotted her immediately and took her to the next room for questioning.
Lone Wolf drove out and arrived at the place he had agreed upon with Jian Yu.
He noticed that Jian Yu was wearing a windbreaker, and if it weren't for the familiar hat, he wouldn't have recognized him.
Looking further, I noticed a little girl standing next to Jian Yu.
Jian Yu saw the lone wolf and walked over to it.
Xiao Xi followed closely behind.
Lone Wolf narrowed his eyes slightly, signaling Jian Yu to leave the person behind.
Jian Yu shook his head. "She had a fight with her family and ran away by herself. She didn't have any money on her, and she lost her phone. She has nothing on her except a bag. It's so late now, and I'm worried about leaving her alone."
Lost your phone?
Lone Wolf looked at him suspiciously, "It just happened to be lost?"
Faced with the lone wolf's scrutinizing gaze, Xiaoxi lowered her head in fear and dared not utter a sound.
Lone Wolf said in a deep voice, "Tell the truth."
Xiaoxi bit her lower lip, looking like she was about to cry but had no tears.
Jian Yu said, "I didn't have a chance to ask earlier why you argued with your family? And why you came out alone? Did you really lose your phone, or what happened?"
"......"
Jian Yu said, "If you don't tell us, we're leaving. There's a police station not far ahead; go there!"
"No!" Xiaoxi hurriedly grabbed Jianyu's sleeve. "My mom confiscated my phone and took all my money. The money I had left over from buying things for my family yesterday was the fare I paid for the bus here."
"Anything else?"
“I heard that Mr. Lu is staying in the most luxurious hotel in the city, so I wanted to come and find him.”
"There's no future for you two."
Xiaoxi's eyes instantly filled with tears. "I... but I just can't forget him."
Jian Yu sighed, "Never mind, let's get in the car first."
As the car drove towards the outskirts, Xiaoxi grabbed Jianyu's arm. "Jianyu, don't take me back. I don't want to go home."
Jian Yu said, "You have no money and no phone. Do you know how dangerous it is for a young girl to be out alone? You've never left home before. How are you going to live on your own?"
Xiao Xi whispered, "I can work for Mr. Lu, I can be his nanny."
Jian Yu, thinking of Lu Jiao's hidden identity, said, "He doesn't need a nanny."
Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, "I can work at a restaurant, or a hotel is fine too, hotels provide meals and accommodation."
"What's the point of you going to the hotel? You still won't see Lu Jiao."
"I......"
"Go home!"
"I don't want to go home."
Xiaoxi became agitated and actually tried to open the car door.
Fortunately, the car doors were locked from the inside.
Jian Yu held Xiao Xi down, "If you're being forced into marriage by your parents, I'll have Lu Jiao talk to them and let you choose for yourself."
"Waaaaah..."
Jian Yu is not good at comforting others, let alone Lone Wolf; it's a miracle he didn't kick him out.
Xiaoxi cried for a while, but when she realized that no one was comforting her, she stopped crying.
"My house burned down, and Mr. Lu compensated us, even paying tens of thousands more. When the Xiaotian family found out, they came to my house with a matchmaker to discuss the marriage. They were willing to offer a high dowry, but also demanded a large bride price. My parents weren't willing to pay a high bride price, so the Xiaotian family brought up the extra compensation Mr. Lu had given us, demanding it be added to my dowry. During their discussions, no one asked for my opinion. Afterwards, my mother told me to focus on preparing for the wedding, but I'm not willing. Even if it wasn't Mr. Lu, I don't want to marry someone like the Xiaotian family. Waaah..."
Jian Yu rubbed her temples; she really didn't want to meddle in other people's family affairs.
The lone wolf remained silent.
After a long pause, Jian Yu looked at Lone Wolf and asked, "Do you have any cash on you?"
Lone Wolf, "Thirty thousand."
"Consider it a loan from me."
"No need, I'll put it on Mr. Huo's tab."
"Alright."
Lone Wolf stopped the car, took out 30,000 yuan in cash from the bag in the passenger seat, and handed it to Jian Yu.
Jian Yu handed the money to Xiao Xi, saying, "Go buy a phone, then find a reputable agency to rent a place. Take your time with the job."
Xiaoxi put the money back into Jianyu's hand, saying, "I don't want your money."
Don't be reckless.
Xiao Xi pleaded, "Jian Yu, can you take me with you? I'll be your nanny, as long as you let me see Mr. Lu."
Jian Yu flatly refused, "No."
Xiaoxi covered her face and wept bitterly.
Jianyu gestured for the lone wolf to turn around.
I found a chain hotel with good reviews.
"You'll stay at this hotel tonight, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow. Remember, you can't let this kind of impulsive, reckless behavior happen again."
The car drove away from the hotel.
Xiaoxi stood at the hotel entrance, staring in the direction the car had disappeared, unable to calm down for a long time.
An hour later, Xiaoxi's legs were already stiff from standing, but her eyes became even more sharp.
She dragged her aching legs to the front desk and borrowed their phone to call Lu Jiao.
Unsurprisingly, no one answered.
Following the instructions, Xiaoxi left a message for Lu Jiao---
"If I post Jianyu's photo and current location online, what do you think the consequences would be?"
