Lin Chuxia hugged a pillow, leaned her shoulder against the wall, shifted her weight onto her right leg, and casually bent her left leg, her toes touching the ground behind her.
She still had that nonchalant smile on her face.
"From the time you knocked on the door to when I put down what I was doing and came over to open it, it was only a few dozen seconds, and so many of you came, even bringing my spare room key. You're really amazing, managing to do so much in less than a minute," Lin Chuxia exclaimed.
“We knocked on the door before, but you didn’t respond,” Yi Ningning said, puffing out her cheeks.
Lin Chuxia looked at her with a half-smile: "Really? Then why didn't I hear anything?"
"Teacher Lin, everyone is just concerned about you, they don't mean anything else." Chen Yuling smiled.
Anyway, she was determined to ruin Lin Chuxia's reputation tonight.
She went to so much trouble to call so many people over, just to make this a big deal out of it.
If they leave empty-handed now, wouldn't all her efforts tonight have been in vain? Moreover, this would alert them, making it even harder to find something on Lin Chuxia next time.
Therefore, today's action must succeed; failure is not an option.
Seeing the director still hesitate, Chen Yuling added fuel to the fire: "Teacher Lin, why don't you just let everyone go in and check? This culprit isn't someone you deliberately hid, so why are you so nervous and stopping us? Besides, in this situation, if we don't go in and check, it would be disrespectful to you, Teacher Lin..."
However, Chen Yuling's next words were cut off as if someone had grabbed her by the throat, and she was unable to say anything more.
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked behind Lin Chuxia.
At that moment, everyone saw the man walking out of the room.
Holding a black coat in his hand, Gu Yuheng strode up behind Lin Chuxia in full view of everyone, grasped her slightly cool arms exposed to the air, pulled her directly into his arms, and then draped the coat over her shoulders.
After doing all this, he finally looked up at the crowd outside the door. His dark eyes were calm and unwavering, and his expression was inscrutable, making it impossible to tell whether he was in a good or bad mood.
He placed one hand on Lin Chuxia's waist, the other in his pocket, and casually glanced at everyone.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want to find out here?"
His tone was soft, but everyone felt as if his words had struck their hearts like a heavy stone.
At this moment, everyone even held their breath.
Seemingly feeling uncomfortable in that position, Gu Yuheng simply switched arms to hold Lin Chuxia, then casually said:
“I’ve been in this room all afternoon and haven’t left. There are no other men in this room besides me. I just don’t know where this man with the knife you’re talking about came from.”
Actually, there were quite a few people in the crew who had never seen Gu Yuheng before. Although everyone was shocked by Gu Yuheng's sudden appearance and felt that the matter was very strange, the atmosphere at the moment was not right, and most people did not dare to speak up even if they had doubts.
However, Yi Ningning is an exception.
When Gu Yuheng first appeared, she was momentarily stunned by his appearance. After regaining her composure, she immediately exclaimed excitedly:
"See? I told you there was definitely a man hiding in her room!"
