Unlike the solid wood doors of other private rooms, the main gate of Guanhaiyuan has an electronic combination lock.
A man who looked like a manager stood at the door. "Gentlemen! The emergency exit isn't this way, it's—"
This time, Ai Ni didn't directly hit the leg; instead, she pulled out a metal handle and slammed it against the combination lock.
“kuang! kuang! kuangkuangkuang!”
The manager, who wanted to dissuade him, was speechless.
Candice wanted to tell Ai Ni that he had come: "........."
The combination lock didn't hold for long before the main door unlocked, but there was another door inside.
This time, there was no chain reaction. Smoke was faintly seeping out from the crack in the door, and the interplay of light and shadow brought some images to her mind. Ai Ni finally panicked, "Madam!"
"Aini?!"
The smoke inside the private room was so thick it was almost blinding. While the group was using fire extinguishers, Mu Yiran grabbed a hot cloth from memory and shoved it at Ji Yunli, then dragged her towards the door, shouting:
"Hey Ni! I'm here, Hey Ni! Cough—"
Mu Yiran only began to feel a chill when the automatic door did not respond after she struck it twice.
"Bring her back!"
"Ah! Aorsa!"
Jing Zhi, who was behind, tried to come over, but after a few exchanges with the bodyguard, she was knocked to the ground.
Li Zhenrong covered his mouth and nose, the smoke making his narrow eyes look even more sinister. "Bring her here!"
The two men helped Mu Yiran back to Li Zhenrong. Li Zhenrong opened his phone and nodded. Mu Yiran was forced in front of the screen by her chin. Unable to break free, she bared her teeth and bit Li Zhenrong's hand hard.
"Ah, damn it!"
The man swung his hand and slapped Mu Yiran across the head!
Ji Yunli wailed, "Aorsa! Aorsa! Please don't do this! Can't we cooperate? Aorsa, let's cooperate! Please say yes!"
Mu Yiran fell to her side, feeling dizzy and her vision blurred. By the time she regained consciousness, the identity verification was already complete.
Cross-border online electronic transactions are generated instantly, and once the transfer is completed, the funds have indeed passed through the bank.
The whole process doesn't even take five minutes.
"Where's that official seal?" Li Zhenrong asked.
Suppressing Chen Jie's remaining strength, she ran over, shouting, "It's in her bag!"
"Yu Li! Damn it, you dare to scheme against us!" Chen Jie was completely enraged by his shamelessness. He never expected that Yu Li had planned this trap from the very beginning.
"Do you know this is a crime?! Are you fucking insane?!"
Any contract flaws that required Mu Yiran to re-sign and re-stamp were all part of the plan!
Yu Li ignored her and took the official seal out of Mu Yiran's bag, stuffing it into her hand. "Be smart and sign it. President Li doesn't want to force you!"
"I know you have some connections! So you don't want to make things difficult for me? Hmm? We'll have to keep seeing each other in the future, right?"
Mu Yiran chuckled. The rapid breathing caused by her dizziness from laughing made her expel a lot of saline solution, which made her more awake.
The woman smiled for a few seconds, then nodded as if in resignation, "Okay, I don't want to die either, I'll sign."
Under the suspicious gazes of the others, Mu Yiran took out a fountain pen and held it out to Yu Li.
"Who would turn down money, right?"
Yu Li and Li Zhenrong relaxed. "Miss Mu, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it? Don't worry, this deal will only benefit you, and all transactions are legal—"
Before Li Zhenrong could finish speaking in Korean, Mu Yiran twisted open the pen-like object and plunged it into Li Zhenrong's hand. The pen was electrocuted, and the man instantly cried out in pain and struggled.
"Ah!! Ah! Shiba!"
Mu Yiran was too fast, taking things out of her bag one after another, and pressing the button as she did so, spraying a pungent mist of water directly onto the faces of those trying to grab her.
Taking advantage of the moment, she rushed toward the only opening.
Run wildly toward the swimming pool that extends onto the terrace!
She needs to get people's attention here!
At the same moment, outside the door.
Ai Ni was about to slam the manager against the door again when Candice stopped her.
"His death is useless! The most important thing now is to get him in!"
"Then what do you suggest we do?!" Ai Ni roared, shaking him off!
"The driveway downstairs is completely blocked! It's too late to call someone now! It's up to me! I have to go in now!" Ai Ni was clearly panicked.
"Nothing else can happen... Madam can't be harmed again!"
"Go!" Candice pressed down on her shoulder, tossing aside his constantly ringing phone. On the other end was the person he had called for backup.
But no matter who it is, they can't appear here immediately because the fire alarm has caused chaos throughout the hotel.
There's no time to wait!
Candice pulled a hose from the smashed fire extinguisher box. "I'm passing by next door! Help me out!"
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to know what he was going to do, and called out to him at an extremely fast pace.
But Candice couldn't hear anything.
Ai Ni followed him into a storage room in the cubicle. There was only a small window there, and from the upper corner, you could see the bottom of the transparent swimming pool, which was illuminated by nightlights.
It looks close, but it's actually four or five meters away.
If one loses their footing, a fall from 67 stories will be certain death.
"No! I'll go! You'll die!" Ai Ni tried to grab Candice, but the man was stronger than her. He quickly wrapped the water pipe around his waist and climbed onto the bay window.
"Stay put! She doesn't want anything to happen to you!"
Give me a push! Quickly!
"She can't wait any longer!"
Ai Ni was about to speak again when she met Candice's scarlet eyes and was startled.
Without further hesitation, aim precisely and push the person out with all your might.
Almost in that instant!
Mu Yiran rushed to the edge of the pool, forcefully threw the official seal out, and her hair was pulled hard.
"ah!"
The person grabbed her by the neck and forced her against the edge of the pool. "Run! Where can you run to!"
Mu Yiran leaned back, and everyone could see that half of her body was suspended in the air.
"slender!"
"Mu Yiran!"
The similar roar was swallowed by a gust of wind, but Mu Yiran heard that familiar voice.
It was an extremely heart-wrenching sound, the sound she had been longing for for days.
Through her teary eyes, she saw a figure jumping down towards her from the night sky.
With a loud "bang!"
The restraints around her neck suddenly disappeared, and she lost her balance and fell backward uncontrollably!
Light as a feather, yet heavy as a feather, it fell into his sturdy chest.
Mu Yiran was held tightly in his arms. Shi Youxi wrapped one hand around the back of her head and the other around her waist, their faces pressed close together.
"elder sister!"
"I've got you!"
"I'm here! It's alright! It's alright, sister!"
"........"
The man's cheeks were chilled by the wind, and he rubbed them against her face again and again.
Yet, it also made her feel very warm, very warm.
Like someone who has just drowned and is finally able to catch their breath, Mu Yiran buried her face in the man's shoulder and breathed heavily, her voice barely audible.
"Shi Youxi... I'm terrified..."
"It's alright..." Shi Youxi's voice trembled as he kissed Mu Yiran's nose and brow heavily, half-coaxing her.
"It's okay, baby."
"I'm sorry I'm late."
"..."
