After getting out of the car, Mingyao took out her phone again and looked at the text message sent by the mysterious person.
The text message specified that she should come to a hotel called Laifu, and warned her not to tell anyone.
Once she tells others, Wang Xingchen's only fate is death.
The text message also included a short video that was only five seconds long.
In the video, Wang Xingchen is bound hand and foot, making whimpering sounds.
Mingyao's heart jumped into her throat.
No matter what it takes, she has to find a way to rescue Wang Xingchen!
Mingyao hailed a taxi and went to Laifu Hotel.
Laifu Hotel is located in a very remote area, with few people and shops around it.
Only a few signs for the Laifu Inn flickered with an eerie and bizarre light in the night.
After stepping into the Laifu Hotel, Mingyao's phone vibrated again.
The mysterious person only sent a string of numbers—302.
After receiving the room key for room 302, Mingyao looked at the boss, hesitant to speak.
The boss might be in cahoots with the kidnappers.
Mingyao took the room key and went straight upstairs without saying another word to the owner.
Standing in front of room 302, she took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest.
Just as Mingyao was about to open the door, her phone rang.
The sudden ringing of the cell phone was like a blade, shattering the quiet corridor.
The person who called was Wang Zhouheng.
Mingyao pressed the call button, and Wang Zhouheng's concerned voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Miss Su, where are you now?"
"I'm home now."
Wang Zhouheng was relieved and comforted her, "Miss Su, don't worry, I will tell you as soon as I have any clues about Wang Xingchen."
"have a good rest."
After a brief chat, Mingyao hung up the phone and resolutely opened room 302.
The room was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and it was filled with the scent of mint air freshener.
Mingyao turned on the light and saw a small body wriggling on the double bed.
"Wang Xingchen!"
She was both surprised and delighted, and quickly ran forward.
The person lying on the bed was indeed Wang Xingchen.
Little Wang Xingchen was bound hand and foot, his mouth stuffed with a rag, and he couldn't make any sound except for a faint whimper.
Mingyao quickly untied the little guy and hugged him tightly.
"I'm here. Don't be afraid. I will definitely take you away from here."
Wang Xingchen nestled in Mingyao's arms, tears streaming down his face as if they were free. Before long, he was a sobbing mess.
Wang Xingchen was also terrified and cried, unable to speak a coherent sentence.
Now is not the time to comfort each other.
After giving him a quick check and confirming that he was not injured, Mingyao pulled him away.
The mysterious person went to so much trouble to lure her here; there must be another purpose behind it!
However, she was still too late.
Mingyao twisted the doorknob, trying to open the door.
However, all of this was in vain.
Even if you take out the room key, it won't work.
Mingyao frowned and quickly ran to the bedside table to call the front desk.
When she picked up the phone, she discovered that the phone line had already been unplugged.
Mingyao frowned, a growing sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.
She took out her phone again and called Wang Zhouheng.
"Wang Zhouheng, I've found Wang Xingchen."
A wave of dizziness washed over her, and Mingyao's vision became blurry.
She rubbed her forehead, swayed as she tried to stay awake, and said in a rough voice, "Wang Xingchen and I are at the Laifu Hotel, come quickly..."
Oh no, there's a sleeping potion in this incense!
No wonder the mysterious person left Wang Xingchen here alone; this was clearly a trap set specifically for her!
Before she could finish speaking, Mingyao lay flat on the ground, unconscious.
Wang Xingchen was startled and quickly stepped forward.
Just as he was about to call out to Mingyao, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and he slumped unsteadily onto Mingyao.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when Mingyao opened her eyes again, she was greeted by the bright incandescent light.
The light from the incandescent bulb was blinding, causing her eyes severe pain.
After her eyes gradually adjusted to the light, Mingyao sat on the bed and looked around.
She was no longer at the Laifu Hotel. The square room was furnished with completely unfamiliar items, and even Wang Xingchen was nowhere to be found.
Mingyao's heart was pounding, worried that something had happened to Wang Xingchen.
She tried to get out of bed to see what was going on, only to realize belatedly that her wrists and ankles were bound.
Her limbs were so weak and limp that she didn't even realize she was still bound.
Just as Mingyao was trying to figure out how to leave the room, the door creaked open without warning.
"Su Xueya, do you like the room I prepared for you?"
The familiar voice made Mingyao gasp.
She stared wide-eyed at Zhou Shuya as she walked in, incredulous.
In just a few days, Zhou Shuya had lost a lot of weight, and her cheeks and eye sockets showed varying degrees of hollowing.
Unlike her past glory, Zhou Shuya now wears a smile, but cannot hide the ruthlessness in her eyes.
Mingyao bit her lip, her gaze filled with ruthlessness.
"Zhou Shuya, you kidnapped Wang Xingchen!"
Zhou Shuya giggled, laughing so hard she almost fell over, her eyes curving into crescent shapes like a chrysanthemum.
"That's right, I did everything."
Zhou Shuya approached Mingyao, playfully pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her face and meet her gaze.
