"Er'er, what happened?" Jiang Siyan tried his best to make his voice sound calm.
Even though his mind was already in turmoil the moment he heard Su Er burst into tears.
He couldn't confirm her safety, nor could he guess what had happened to make the usually resilient girl in front of him cry like this.
In Jiang Siyan's previous life experiences, he had almost never encountered a moment as chaotic and turbulent as today.
Su Er's words were fragmented and interspersed with professional terms such as "sasaeng fans," which Jiang Siyan couldn't understand, but he still managed to grasp the main points.
While instructing the driver to drive, Jiang Siyan said, "Er'er, give the phone to the police, I'll speak."
Su Er wiped away her tears and handed her phone to the police.
She didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but soon the phone was back in her hand. Jiang Siyan told her, "Don't worry about what happens next. Someone will come and handle it in a bit. Pack your things and find another room. I'll come pick you up right away."
Su Er sobbed and said okay. She didn't want to be a strong girl right now; she just wanted to have a good cry and then sleep it off.
Jiang Siyan gently told her that he had to hang up the phone now, as he needed to arrange many things first.
Su Er obediently hung up the phone.
Lin Shuqin rushed back at this time, worried that the two girls would get drunk and vomit uncontrollably without anyone to take care of them.
Lin Shuqin saw the open door from afar, her heart tightened, and she quickened her pace.
If she was just feeling uneasy before, when she saw the lock cylinder and wood chips that had fallen to the floor due to the impact, Lin Shuqin felt like her vision went black, and she had to hold onto the door frame to steady herself.
"Xiao Er!" Lin Shuqin didn't have time to think and hurried into the room, just as she bumped into the police who were about to come out.
Su Er also heard the noise, her eyes reddened as she looked up at Lin Shuqin, her lips pursed, and she called out in a wronged tone, "Sister Qin."
Their pitiful appearance was heartbreaking.
Fortunately, the person appeared to be unharmed.
Lin Shuqin rushed over and hugged her, bombarding her with questions, "What happened? What's wrong? Are you alright?"
Su Er shook her head, hugged Lin Shuqin, buried her face in her neck and cried, her body trembling.
Lin Shuqin's anger surged. "That person again? He barged in?"
Su Er hummed in agreement. "I hid in the bathroom and called the police, so I didn't run into him."
Lin Shuqin was slightly relieved to know that she was alright, but her anger did not subside in the slightest. At this moment, she could no longer put on a charming and diplomatic attitude. With a cold face, she questioned the room manager, "What's wrong with your hotel? A five-star hotel, can't you even guarantee the most basic personal safety?"
She turned her gun around and asked, "And officers, we've called the police about this more than once or twice. Last time, and this time, we were lucky, but who can guarantee what will happen next time? What if something really happens?"
Lin Shuqin's words make a lot of sense, but just because they make sense doesn't mean the problem will be solved, and the person might not necessarily receive a severe punishment.
That's how the law is set up; that person was skirting the edge of the law, far from being a criminal.
Lin Shuqin understood, and Su Er understood too. They felt powerless and helpless, but they felt really stifled if they didn't shout it out.
The room manager was still bowing and apologizing when the two of them gradually calmed down. Su Er tugged at Lin Shuqin's sleeve and said, "Sister Qin, Jiang Siyan will send someone over in a little while. He will also come to pick me up."
Lin Shuqin understood what she meant and thought about it carefully. It was indeed better than Su Er staying in a hotel.
She could see the weariness on her face and knew that she needed a quiet environment to rest. She vented her anger, but reality remained the same.
"Go to my room first. You can rest for a while. I'll take care of things here," Lin Shuqin said.
"Thank you for your trouble, Sister Qin." At this point, Su Er's upbringing did not allow her to forget to express her gratitude.
Lin Shuqin helped her out of bed, saying, "Don't thank me, it was my oversight today."
Su Er gave a reassuring smile, "It's okay, I've recovered."
She carried her suitcase out of the room, and when she saw the dilapidated door frame, her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she still took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Some doors in the corridor were quietly open, and people were peeking out. The commotion must have disturbed quite a few people, but faced with such a madman and his furious roar, everyone had the right to close their doors and protect themselves.
Su Er ignored all the probing gazes, swiped her card to enter a room not far away, closed the door, and turned on the TV.
The room was too quiet; the silence amplified every tiny sound. Her tense nerves couldn't relax for a long time, and her fingers hovered over the remote, turning the volume up a bit more.
A moment later, the beeping sound came from the doorway again. Su Er stared wide-eyed at the door, and when she saw Lin Shuqin, she blinked belatedly.
Seeing that she looked shaken, Lin Shuqin quickly sat down next to her and comforted her, "The people Mr. Jiang arranged have come to handle this. I'll stay with you."
Su Er nodded, obediently leaning her head against Lin Shuqin, watching a late-night movie on the movie channel. It was a foreign action film, very noisy, so noisy that she couldn't concentrate on anything else, and finally closed her eyes.
Jiang Siyan arrived at the hotel an hour later. As his secretary reported to him bit by bit, Jiang Siyan's face grew increasingly gloomy.
This isn't the first time. So how did Su Er get through it before?
He suddenly remembered the phone call Su Er had given him before, when she said she missed him. The details he hadn't noticed that night were now clearly displayed before his eyes.
"You handle it as you see fit," Jiang Siyan said before going upstairs.
No one is perfect, let alone someone like this. If you investigate further, you'll find that one of the crimes hidden in the shadows will make him suffer the consequences he deserves.
Lin Shuqin carefully helped her lie down on the sofa, covered her with a blanket, and then took out her computer to hold a meeting with the public relations team to confirm the statement to be released later.
The statement had just been sent out when there was a knock on the door—two loud, resounding knocks.
Lin Shuqin glanced at Su Er on the sofa. Fortunately, the sound of the TV masked the knocking and didn't wake her up.
Lin Shuqin walked to the door and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"Jiang Siyan," he said impatiently.
Soon, the door opened, and Lin Shuqin spoke first, "Mr. Jiang, Xiao Er just fell asleep."
Jiang Siyan waved his hand, not even glancing at her, indicating that he understood, and quietly walked to the sofa.
Her swollen eyelids and anxiously furrowed brows, that little bundle of emotion, suddenly struck his heart.
