The man's voice came again, and Gu Baiwei's heart was pounding with nervousness.
There is no one else in my room.
Lu Ran answered calmly, while quickly typing a message on his phone and sending it.
"Please open the door and let me take a look. I promise I'll leave after just one glance."
The man spoke sincerely, but the fierce glint in his eyes was impossible to hide.
At that moment, he looked up, seemingly noticing the surveillance camera above, and slowly curled his lips into a sinister smile: "Sir, you'd better open the door quickly, otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, he raised the hammer in his hand and threw it in a certain direction.
With a snap, the sound of something breaking came, and the surveillance camera went completely dark.
At the same time, a loud bang came from the door, as if something had slammed heavily against it.
The sudden loud noise startled Gu Baiwei.
Lu Ran's eyes were dark as he stared at the slightly shaking door, silently protecting Gu Baiwei behind him.
The banging on the door continued, the sound particularly jarring in the unusually quiet room.
"Open the door, you brat, open the door for me."
The man outside had completely dropped his pretense, roaring and pounding on the door with a hammer.
As the door slammed shut again with a loud bang, a series of chaotic footsteps sounded outside, followed by a man's defiant shouts.
Soon, everything returned to calm.
There was another knock on the door, and a young man's voice came from outside: "Hello sir, the assailant has been subdued by us, you are safe now."
Lu Ran looked through the peephole to see what was happening outside before opening the door with peace of mind.
The man from earlier has been taken away by the police, and Lu Ran and Gu Baiwei have also been taken to the police station for questioning.
By the time everything was over, it was already quite late.
The two walked out of the police station side by side. Gu Baiwei thanked Lu Ran somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you with today's matter."
Lu Ran met her beautiful eyes and nervously scratched his head: "No, it's nothing. Um... my name is Lu Ran, I'm a live streamer. Can we be friends?"
"Hello, I..."
Gu Baiwei then took a closer look at Lu Ran's face, and almost shouted "Holy crap!" in her mind.
It took her so long to realize that this person was actually the muscular male streamer she had been following for a long time.
Thinking of her flamboyant online name, Gu Baiwei gave the name she hated the most without any qualms: "Hello, my name is Lin Xueting."
A hint of shyness appeared in Lu Ran's clear brown eyes: "Your name is so pretty, I... can I add you on WeChat?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Gu Baiwei's phone rang.
Gu Baiwei took out her phone, saw the familiar contact name, and hurriedly pressed the answer button.
Oh no, her phone was on silent the whole time, and she completely forgot to call Ye Sinian back.
But just as she pressed the answer button, the phone screen suddenly went black; it had run out of battery at the crucial moment.
"Excuse me, I have to go now."
Before Lu Ran could say a word, Gu Baiwei had already hurriedly left.
As I was hailing a taxi at the intersection, I happened to brush past a tall, slender figure.
Ye Yunting stopped and looked back with some confusion, only to find that apart from a taxi, there was no one else at the intersection.
He frowned. Was it just his imagination?
Gu Baiwei had already gotten into a taxi and directed the driver to head towards the Ye family villa.
At the entrance of the breakfast shop, Ye Sinian looked at Lin Xueting with a cold expression: "Where is she?"
Just now, when he and Xia Shihhan walked out of the breakfast shop, they unexpectedly ran into Lin Xueting.
The moment Ye Sinian saw her, his brows furrowed with annoyance: "Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me again?"
"Si Nian, I've come to see you because I have something very important to tell you."
Lin Xueting spoke timidly.
Ye Sinian frowned slightly: "What is it?"
"Si Nian, I just saw my sister go into a love hotel with a man. You should go and check on her."
Upon hearing this, Ye Sinian immediately thought of the male anchor that Gu Baiwei had been following recently, and his face instantly turned ugly.
Where is she?
He spoke in a deep voice, his eyes filled with the fury of an impending storm.
Where are they?
Looking at the mess in the hotel room, Ye Sinian could no longer suppress the anger and fear in his eyes.
Unfortunately, Gu Baiwei's phone was always unreachable.
Unpleasant thoughts surged from his heart, and Ye Sinian felt as if he had returned to that day many years ago.
A soft little hand grasped his: "Sinian, don't be afraid. I just went to find out what's going on. Your aunt should be home by now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xueting, who had been looking completely astonished, suddenly came to her senses: "Who did you just say that woman was?"
Lin Xueting originally wanted to bring Ye Sinian to the hotel to catch them cheating, and in order to get up there quickly, she even had someone send the hotel staff away.
When they arrived at the room, they found that the person inside was gone, the room was in a mess, and there was a lot of blood on the floor.
She panicked immediately. She only wanted Ye Sinian to despise that woman, but she never thought of killing him.
She was terrified, but she couldn't get through to the thug's phone.
Xia Shihhan then remembered that there was someone else in the room. She looked at Lin Xueting with some confusion: "Don't you know? She's Si Nian's aunt."
Upon hearing this news, Lin Xueting felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face turned deathly pale, and she took two steps back, leaning against the wall, muttering to herself, "Impossible, how could this be?"
Noticing her unusual behavior, Ye Sinian stepped forward and grabbed her wrist tightly, a cold glint flashing in his dark eyes: "Lin Xueting, do you know something? Where is she?"
"No, no, I don't know, Si Nian, I really don't know anything."
Lin Xueting shook her head desperately.
The sudden ringing of the telephone broke the tense atmosphere.
Ye Sinian coldly shook off Lin Xueting's hand and pressed the answer button.
A moment later, he looked down at Lin Xueting coldly, his voice as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth: "Lin Xueting, you should be glad she's alright, otherwise I wouldn't have let you off the hook."
"Si Nian, please don't treat me like this. I really didn't know she was your aunt. I thought she was..."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and her beautiful eyes glared fiercely at Xia Shihhan: "It was you, wasn't it? It was all because of you, you shameless woman, that you deliberately hid your identity and harmed me. I'm going to kill you!"
She screamed and lunged at him, but Ye Sinian pushed her to the ground with a look of disgust on his face.
Lin Xueting sat on the ground with her hair disheveled, looking at Ye Sinian in disbelief: "Sinian, why are you doing this to me? If you had told me her identity earlier, I would never have done this. Please give me another chance, okay?"
Ye Sinian didn't even spare her a glance, and strode towards the door with a cold face. After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Lin Xueting's face lit up with joy: "Si Nian, I knew you wouldn't be so cruel to me."
