Her body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. She struggled to get up, and just as she caught her breath, she heard the sound of the door lock being opened.
As soon as I looked up, I heard a surprised voice: "Oh, little sister, you're awake?"
It was that lewd man's voice. He had returned, and now, looking at Chen Lian sitting on the bed, a wicked glint flashed in his eyes.
Shen Lian thought to herself, "Damn it! Is my luck really that bad today?"
——
Xie Li gripped his phone, and the other end finally answered impatiently, "I'm annoyed!"
It hung up again with a click, but those few seconds were enough.
The location of Sister Qian appeared instantly on my phone; she was in a hotel within three kilometers.
Xie Li's figure flashed and disappeared instantly.
Li Chen scratched his head, already used to it, but still made a phone call to Sister Qian.
"Jiang Qianyu! Where are you? Where is Chen Lian?" He spoke aggressively from the start.
Sister Qian paused for a moment, then managed to suppress her temper and answer with the name of the hotel, adding, "I only saw one man come down; the other is still upstairs. Chen Lian might be in danger!"
The longer time passed, the more she felt something was wrong, and any lingering hope she had completely vanished.
Unfortunately, this run-down hotel refused to tell her her room number, and she had been in a standoff with the front desk for almost a minute.
The ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger. Sister Qian was so annoyed that she didn't want to waste time arguing with the front desk and just wanted to rush upstairs.
Just then, a sinister male voice rang out from behind: "What exactly do you want by following us?"
Sister Qian's heart skipped a beat. When she looked up, she saw the man in the black suit who had come down earlier standing behind her, his eyes filled with hostility.
Her heart pounded like a drum. She stole a glance at the black-suited man's hand, where he was holding a porcelain bottle that looked vaguely familiar.
She had personally fed Chen Lian the food just ten minutes ago, so how could she not be familiar with it?
Ironically, it wasn't until this moment that she began to doubt whether the ingredients of the medicine were really just a simple sedative.
Sister Qian's hands were sweating as she prepared to act, when she felt as if a gust of wind had blown by.
The man in the black suit who was just moments ago so aggressive was now rolling on the ground clutching his stomach.
Sister Qian stared in disbelief at the person who had appeared before her, "Xie Li?!"
How did Xie Li end up here? Shouldn't she be participating in the Encyclopedia King challenge?
Xie Li ignored her, simply squatting down and lifting the collar of his black suit: "Room number?"
The man in the black suit had intended to put on a tough act, waiting for Xie Li to press him further, but Xie Li didn't even blink before dislocating his arm with his bare hands.
Black suit: "!!!"
He broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, and looked at Xie Li with utter terror in his eyes. Was this woman a devil?
What's even more horrifying is that Xie Li didn't even give him a chance to speak before dislocating his jaw.
"708!" The receptionist was probably stunned by Xie Li's ruthlessness and hurriedly said the room number.
——
Chen Lian was almost in despair.
There is a physical difference between girls and boys, not to mention that she was feeling dizzy and had difficulty moving even a little.
With her tongue bitten so hard it tasted blood, she could barely manage to say a few words, "You want money, right? I'm very rich. Five hundred thousand, a million, anything is fine with me, I'll give you everything..."
The sleazy man was actually a little tempted: "I heard that you rich girls spend millions on a single handbag..."
Chen Lian: "I have two million in New Year's money saved up, I can give it all to you."
As long as she can get through this ordeal, she doesn't care how much money it costs. Madam Shen is a first-rate money-maker, and she has always emphasized to her that her personal safety is far more important than money.
