Chapter 24
"Check the elevator surveillance footage to see where Zhong Tianpei took the person." Chen Shiman, holding his phone in one hand, strode towards the elevator. "Tell the security guard you called to meet me in the conference room on the 11th floor. Tell them not to make too much noise. Gu Zhun is a star after all. And Wang Yanyue, delete this surveillance footage once this is over. Don't let it get out—delete it yourself, okay?"
"Okay." Wang Yanyue replied.
Chen Shiman stopped and put his hands on his hips. "Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner when I get back."
If this video were to leak out, it would definitely have a huge impact on both parties. Zhong Tianpei naturally didn't care, but Gu Zhun couldn't. He must not let this video spread everywhere.
"Don't be polite. Okay, go find someone and I'll check the video." Wang Yanyue quickly hung up the phone, and then quickly called the person in charge of the hotel via video.
Chen Shiman looked at the call screen, put his phone away, stepped into the dedicated elevator, and pressed the button for the 11th floor. He leaned against the elevator wall, thinking that it would be best not to let Liu Weiwei know about this matter, so as to avoid causing her any trouble.
Chen Shichang breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time he'd felt that this elevator ride was so long. He was still clutching his phone tightly in his hand, with the volume turned up to maximum so that he could receive any messages Wang Yanyue sent.
bite--
We have arrived at the 11th floor.
He walked quickly to the designated meeting room, which was crowded with security guards and bodyguards that Wang Yanyue had found from somewhere.
"Everyone, remember the faces of the two people in the photo. Remember them well. We'll go look for them later. If you have any information, please contact me or your boss. There will be a reward for anyone who provides useful information. But remember, don't disclose this to anyone else, understand?"
Chen Shiman's voice sounded calm and composed, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil. However, in such an occasion, he was the backbone and he felt that he had to stand firm.
"Alright, search now, don't miss any corner."
Afterwards, all the bodyguards present left, and the entire conference room became empty.
Chen Shiman looked at the three bodyguards in front of him. They didn't move, so he asked, "Why don't you go?"
The tall, lean man in a suit and sunglasses leading the group said, "Mr. Wang said we'll follow you closely and protect you."
Chen Shiman: “…”
"Okay, then come with me." Chen Shiman knew what Wang Yanyue was thinking, and there was no need to reject his kindness.
Chen Shiman and his men had just walked out of the conference room when they received a message from Wang Yanyue - he was at 9011, and went in half an hour ago. Hurry up, I have already asked someone to go up and inquire.
Chen Shiman read the message and said to the bodyguards behind him, "One of you will follow me, and one of you will guard the stairs to the ninth floor. Keep an eye on this man and don't hurt him. After all, we are good citizens who abide by the law. And one more..." Chen Shiman couldn't think of anything else for the moment, "and one more will guard the stairs as well."
Then Chen Shiman walked forward in a hurry. The bodyguard following behind him said, "Sir, the stairs don't require two people. You should have more people on your side."
The message they received was to protect Chen Shiman well, because they would suffer the consequences if even a hair fell from their head.
But Chen Shiman doesn't think so.
In fact, he was intentionally putting himself in harm's way.
If something happened to him here and he revealed a little information to Chen Mocheng, he believed that with his brother's temper, he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.
When the time comes, Chen Shiman will add fuel to the fire, act like a spoiled child, say bad things about Zhong Tianpei, and clear Gu Zhun from the matter. At most, he will just be criticized by his brother, but it is not certain for Zhong Tianpei.
"No need. Don't you believe in your own abilities? Okay, let's go."
Chen Shiman didn't want to say more. He was afraid that if he continued, Gu Zhun would become unclean, and he didn't want an unclean person.
Chen Shiman took the stairs. He held the handrails and moved his feet back and forth quickly. The bodyguard was quick and reached the 9th floor before him.
The dim stairwell was silent, with only the crisp footsteps of Chen Shiman moving through the stairwell. The sensor light flickered on and off, and the warm yellow light shone on the white tiles, reflecting Chen Shiman's small figure.
"Sir, he's not here," said the bodyguard.
"Neither of them is here?" Chen Shiman was puzzled.
"There's one here."
"who?"
"Zhong Tianpei."
Chen Shiman raised his head and said, "Tell someone to continue looking for Gu Zhun. I'm going to meet this Zhong Tianpei!"
Chen Shiman walked straight over.
The things he has experienced since he grew up are not that big - except for the kidnapping incident, everything else can be said to be smooth sailing.
Until he entered the entertainment industry and became a paparazzi, he vaguely touched upon some shameful or shady things, but at that time Chen Mocheng would selectively prevent him from touching these things.
Only this time, he actually encountered such a thing.
He knew that Zhong Tianpei was not a good person, and he also knew that there must be some conflict between Gu Zhun and Zhong Tianpei. He could even guess what Zhong Tianpei was going to do...
Chen Shiman's heart sank little by little with every step he took, and his scalp felt numb. It was not until several security guards made way for him that he saw that the door of the room was open. It was dark inside, with no light at all.
"Don't come in."
Chen Shiman turned on the light and the whole room was bright. Chen Shiman looked down and saw one or two drops of dried blood on the white tiles.
He paused, his body leaning back uncontrollably. Every step he took felt like he was walking on sharp needles, and waves of stabbing pain spread to his heart along every acupoint on the soles of his feet.
He even felt that the blood dripping on the ground was gushing out from his heart.
until--
Until he saw Zhong Tianpei lying unconscious on the ground.
Zhong Tianpei lay on the ground beside the bed as if he had no bones. His head tilted to one side, one hand fell limply to the ground, and the other hand was weakly covering the wound on his stomach - the wound was still bleeding. A sharp, reflective knife lay on the ground.
"Heh, you little whore..." Zhong Tianpei spoke incoherently. He couldn't see clearly who the person who came was, but he knew that it was not from his side.
As for Chen Shiman, the visual impact of this scene was too strong. Even for someone who had never experienced any major storms, his stomach churned in an instant.
He almost couldn't control himself and covered his mouth and ran to the bathroom, lying on the toilet and retching.
The acid was vomited out through the esophagus and tears were coming out of my eyes.
After the operation was completed, Chen Shiman ran out in a panic, "Get someone to clean up this place. Send him to the hospital secretly. Use the dedicated passage. Don't let anyone know. Understand?"
"Yes, sir." The bodyguard answered neatly.
Chen Shiman also received a reply to the message he had previously sent to Wang Yanyue. He adjusted his state and went to the cleaning room on this floor.
Chen Shiman pushed open the door. The cleaning room was in the most secluded corner. All the staff had been transferred away, and customers rarely came here.
The door was pushed open lightly, and there was only a small beam of light inside. He saw Gu Zhun sitting on a plastic stool, his whole body buried in his knees, the corner of his shirt was stained with some blood, and he was shaking uncontrollably.
He seemed to have heard the door open and slowly raised his head. His pupils were dull and lifeless, and he looked as if he had lost something. After a long while, he smiled with his lips hooked, "You found me."
At this time, Chen Shiman noticed that his suppression patch had warped at the edges and was of no use at all.
Chen Shiman squatted down and said, "Come on, I'll take you upstairs."
Chen Shiman quickly lifted Gu Zhun's arm, letting his entire weight fall onto him. Fortunately, he had practiced this technique before, so he was able to hold his balance and help Gu Zhun walk out of the cleaning room.
Gu Zhun pressed his whole body tightly against Chen Shiman. He was a head taller than Chen Shiman, but at this moment he lowered his head and buried his entire cheek in Chen Shiman's neck, allowing all his exhaled breath to spray on his neck.
Chen Shiman even felt a few drops of water on his neck.
"Chen...Shiman."
Gu Zhun's voice seemed very soft, yet seemed full of power.
"Okay, I'll take you upstairs. Walk quickly." Although Wang Yanyue had arranged everything, Chen Shiman was a worrier. He was afraid that he would be delayed and meet unnecessary people on the way. He wished he could ride on hot wheels and get back to the suite on the top floor as soon as possible.
"You, don't get so close to me." Chen Shiman muttered softly.
Even a Beta like Chen Shiman could clearly smell the strong fragrance in the air at this moment.
It was a smell he had never smelled before, Chen Shiman thought, it was a really pleasant pheromone smell.
But then, the overly strong fragrance made the air suffocate at all. Once I got on the elevator, in this small, enclosed space, pheromones continued to flow out from the suppression patch and floated in the air.
Chen Shiman clung tightly to Gu Zhun again, and the scent drifted into his nose.
Chen Shiman felt it was weird. He was clearly a Beta, so how could he smell pheromones at this time? It really didn't make sense.
"Gu Zhun, you, please walk faster, okay?"
Just now when they were getting on the elevator, Chen Shiman didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he seemed to hear a lot of people talking, and he was so scared that his legs almost went weak.
Fortunately, at that moment, Gu Zhun suddenly held his waist and used his wrist to pull the two of them into the elevator.
After getting out of the elevator, Chen Shiman finally felt relieved.
Wang Yanyue had already prepared the suite. He glanced at the text message and walked towards the room.
At this moment, if he is an omega, his legs will definitely become weak due to the high concentration of pheromones in the air, and the ylang-ylang scent has the effect of flirting, so the weak Omega will definitely wet.
But Chen Shiman was a Beta, so he could only detect a little of the strong pheromones. Until the two of them entered the room, Chen Shiman didn't even have time to turn on the light, because he was suddenly pressed against the door by the person next to him, with his back pressed against the door. Then Chen Shiman felt the person in front of him coming close to him without any explanation, with a hot body and a strong heartbeat.
At this moment, Chen Shiman finally smelled the strong scent of pheromones. And he was being held by Gu Zhun, his center of gravity resting entirely on him.
Chen Shiman knew that he was having a leak.
