She even thanked the receptionist, but now, only now did Nanxi realize how foolish she was. There was definitely something wrong with that glass of water!
So, was it her ex-husband Guan La who brought her here? What did he want?
Nanxi felt panic surging and suddenly got up from the bed and tried to walk towards the door, but it wouldnât open. She shouted a few times but there was no response from the outside!
She then walked towards the window. The room was high up, and the window was lockedâunopenable!
Nanxi felt desperate, not knowing what to do. She was not afraid for herself but was frightened that Lu Yinchu, her ex-husband, might worry if he couldnât find her!
Lu Yinchuâ¦
Thinking of this man, Nanxiâs nose began to sting, but she tried her best to hold back her tears because now was not the time to cry!
She sniffed and looked around the room, there were no clues, it was just a regular hotel room, nothing special about it!
So, was this⦠an abduction?
â¦
After hanging up the phone, Guan La quickly sprinted out of her office and immediately called Mo Yanâ¦
She wasnât brave enough to call Lu Yinchuâit would worry him even more since he was injured!
She told Mo Yan, âIâm going to meet Chen Ye now. Nanxi should be safe before he meets me. If nothing unexpected happened, he has taken Nanxi near the KING Group, his license plate number isâ¦â
âIf you go to meet him, you wonât be in danger, will you?â Mo Yan asked.
Guan La stopped in her tracks and pursed her lips, âDonât worry, it will be okay. He wouldnât dare do anything to me!â
After hanging up the phone, she was standing by the elevator, letting out a long sigh while waiting for the elevator!
Not far away in the corridor, Wei Qinglian saw Guan La and was a bit curious. She was about to follow her when the elevator door opened and Guan La had already stepped inside.
A secretary came out of the nearby office, Wei Qinglian intercepted her, âWhy did Guan La leave? Did something happen?â
The secretary shook her head, âIâm not sure. I was sitting in the office just now and saw Guan La suddenly rush out looking very worried, as if something had come up⦠oh, and I think I heard her on the phone saying, âIâm going to see Chen Yeâ⦠I couldnât make out the rest, I donât know whatâs going onâ¦â
Chen Ye?
Wei Qinglian furrowed her brow.
She hasnât met this person, but sheâs heard of him!
Because in the past two months, Guan Laâs office has received flowers nearly every dayâroses, lilies, chrysanthemums, all kinds⦠The card attached to the bouquet had Chen Yeâs signature!
He was Guan Laâs ex-husband!
Wei Qinglian knitted her brows, handing a folder to the secretary, âHelp me send this to Director Zhao in the Administrative Department. I have something urgent to do and need to leave now. If anyone asks, tell them I took leaveâ¦â
The secretary wanted to ask something else, but Wei Qinglian had already walked briskly towards the elevator, looking anxiousâ¦
â¦
As Wei Qinglian came out of the main entrance to the KING Group, she saw Guan Laâs car leaving the garage and heading towards an intersection!
She didnât hesitate, quickly ran to the roadside, hailed a taxi and chased after herâ¦
â¦
Nanxi sat in the room for a few more minutes. There was no sound anywhere, and when she knocked on the door there was no one outside. The whole floor seemed deserted!
From the window, she glimpsed the outside sky and figured she hadnât been unconscious for long!
Besides, she hadnât drunk much water earlier; after taking a sip, she was busy responding to Lu Yinchuâs messages and she forgot about the cup of water on the side of her!
So, she woke up quickly, and now she was just a little bit dizzy, with no other discomfort!
She sat on the bed, observing the surroundings, still not finding a clue, she thought to herself that when she writes novels, the female protagonist always finds a way out when being kidnapped; why isnât she able to come up with anything now?
âKnock, knock, knockââ
Just at that moment, there were knocks on the door. Nanxi was surprised and her nerves tensed up. She stood there, motionless!
âKnock, knock, knockââ
Another round of knocks came from the door. Nanxi didnât have time to think much, after checking around, she grabbed two cups from the tableâ¦
Just cups? What harm could they do? With that thought, she picked up the water cup, walked towards the bathroom and smashed the cup onto the bathroom floorâ¦
There was a clatter as the cup shattered. She opened the door, picked up the largest piece of broken glass, walked back to the door and held her breathâ¦
âKnock, knock, knockââ
There were more knocks on the other side. Nanxi frowned, wondering why the hell this person was knocking on the doorâshe canât even open it from the insideâ Is he an idiot?
âMiss Guââ
At that moment, the man outside spoke. It was a manâs voice, familiar yet faint. Nanxi furrowed her brows!
âMiss Gu, are you in there? Miss Guâ¦â
He called out to her again. Nanxi blinked, knocked twice from her side of the door, gave a light cough, and asked, âWho are you?â
âSanlu⦠Miss Gu, Iâm Sanluâ¦â
ââ¦â Nanxi was startled. Sanlu? Xia Yu? The junior security guard?
âMiss Gu, can you hear me talking? Miss Guâ¦â
ââ¦Sanlu, Iâ¦I am Gu Nanxiâ¦â
As soon as Nanxi opened her mouth, she felt the urge to cry. Was she finally about to be rescued?
The junior security guard outside spoke again, âMiss Gu, this door is made of special material, I canât break it open, but donât worry, Iâve already called the police. I will rescue you, donât be afraidâ¦â
âUmm⦠Sanlu, could you make a call to Lu⦠no, call Mo Yan⦠waitâ¦â
Nanxi frowned; she had saved Mo Yanâs number in her phone, but she never memorized it. Damn it!
âSanlu, are you still there? Sanluâ¦â
âIâm here, Miss Gu⦠you were saying!â
âSanlu, can you call my cousin? The number is 136XXXXXXXX, call her from your phone and ask her to call Mr. Mo. Mr. Mo will come to save me⦠Did you get that? 13XXXXXXXXXâ
There was silence outside for a while, and then he said, âI got it, Miss Gu, donât worry, I guarantee youâll be safe, I will rescue you, donât be afraidâ¦â
âIâm not afraidâ¦â
Nanxi took a deep breath, she was not afraid, indeed, she wasnât afraid at all!
Although she didnât understand why Guan Laâs ex-husband had locked her up in here, from the moment when Sanlu appeared, she suddenly felt that something wasnât right!
It seems like, it seems like that man didnât really want to do anything to her, he just wanted to lock her in the hotel and not let her out!
Furthermore, the drug he gave her wasnât very strong, and he didnât have anyone watching the doorâ¦
Nanxi felt on edge as if she had realized something. She hurriedly knocked on the door again, âSanlu, are you still there? Sanluâ¦â
There was no response from the other end of the phone, but Nanxi heard someone talking. He must be making the phone call to her cousin!
Nanxi narrowed her eyes, as if the most urgent matter at hand wasnât about her. She knocked on the door again, âSanlu, Sanlu, answer me, Sanlu, do you hear me talking? Sanluâ¦â
âMiss Gu, Iâm here, I just called your cousin, you will be rescued, donât worry, just waitâ¦â
âSanluâ¦â Nanxi bit her lip, âSanlu, listen to me, call my cousin again, tell her to let Mr. Mo know⦠Guan La⦠Guan La is now, in danger!â
