Lin Chuxia didn't even touch the doorknob before the door was opened from the outside.
The moment the doorknob turned, she stopped moving forward and leaned against the wall, looking at the group of people outside with a half-smile.
Everyone expected to be met with chaos when they opened the door, but instead, the person they were worried about was leaning against the wall with a smile, watching them.
After a long pause, someone spoke up weakly: "Teacher Lin, are you... alright?"
"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Lin Chuxia's smile didn't reach her eyes. "But what do you all want, suddenly making such a fuss and opening my door without permission?"
"It's a misunderstanding, I think it's a misunderstanding. Someone just said they saw a man with a knife enter your room, which is why we panicked for a moment. I'm sorry, Ms. Lin, for disturbing you," the director said apologetically.
When he first heard the news, he was so anxious and flustered that he forgot to think about the connections involved.
The main reason is that Lin Chuxia's identity is too special. If something happens to her in his film crew, he won't be able to withstand the wrath of either President Sheng or President Gu.
He wiped away his cold sweat, turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, please disperse. Miss Lin is fine here, everyone go back to sleep!"
Just as everyone was preparing to leave, another voice of doubt rang out—
"But someone did just say they saw a man with a knife enter Teacher Lin's room. Teacher Lin, were you threatened by a criminal? What if the criminal does something to harm you if we leave now?"
After that voice faded, another voice said, "Just in case, why don't we go into Teacher Lin's room and check it out? That way, we can get a good night's sleep when we get back."
From the crowd, Yi Ningning spoke loudly, "Indeed, it's always good to check. If there really are bad guys, with so many of us, they definitely can't beat us. But if we all leave, how can Teacher Lin, a weak woman, fight against bad guys? Wouldn't that be too much for her..."
"Shut up!" the director snapped, interrupting Yi Ningning's next words. His face was ashen. "What nonsense are you spouting?!"
At this moment, Chen Yuling, who had been watching the scene unfold from the crowd, spoke up: "Director, I think everyone's concerns are not unfounded. Let's just take a look, just in case. This is also for Teacher Lin's safety. It's not a big deal, Teacher Lin should understand, right?"
The director was also hesitant at this moment. He felt that tonight's events were very likely a misunderstanding, but he was also afraid of that one in ten thousand possibility.
What if, as everyone says, Ms. Lin was really threatened by bad guys?
If they leave now, wouldn't that be doing the villain's bidding?
"Director, why don't we go in and check it out?" someone suggested.
Chen Yuling glanced at Lin Chuxia and saw that she still had a nonchalant smile on her face. She curled her lip in disdain.
This woman, even at this point, she can still put on such a show.
She didn't open the door for so long; she was probably buying time for her lover to hide. This is the 18th floor; jumping out of the window would be certain death. There's nowhere to hide except in the closet.
Unfortunately, she had asked the front desk for the room key in advance. In such a short time, she didn't believe they wouldn't have left a loophole. Maybe there were still the adulterer's clothes on Lin Chuxia's bed.
