Chapter 559

But he was caught off guard when the steaming hot crayfish was poured on his face.

“Ahh!” the man screamed in agony.

Some of the hot and spicy sauce had gotten into his eyes.

The man was in so much pain he couldn’t be bothered with Naomi anymore. He threw the sack aside and used his clothes to wipe away the sauce in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, the manager quickly went to untie the sack.

He was flabbergasted when he saw the content of the sack.

The manager’s voice was so shrill that it almost shook the building. “Naomi? It’s you?”

Naomi was crying miserably, smudging the makeup on her face. But what was more heartbreaking was that her mouth was taped up.

The manager gritted his teeth in anger. “You b*stards! I’ll kill you! How can you do this to a woman?”

As he spoke, he picked up the crayfish container. There were only a few crayfish left inside but he couldn’t care less. He then threw it at the man fighting Jonathan.

Smack!

The man was almost knocked out.

Right then, Jonathan took the opportunity and gave him a few good punches.

The noise in the stairwell attracted the attention of several guests of the hotel. Some of them even called the security.

When the men saw that there were more and more people, they knew that they wouldn’t be able to take Naomi anymore. Both of them exchanged glances and slipped away.

Jonathan intended to chase them but he stopped in his tracks when he saw Naomi in the sack.

The hotel’s guests were all celebrities. If word of this incident got out, it would bring Naomi more harm than good.

We should report this to the police. It’s much better than letting rumors spread.

Without a second thought, Jonathan covered Naomi with the sack before running towards his room with her in his arms.

“Naomi, just hold on for a while more. It’ll be troublesome if you got recognized.” The manager worked with Jonathan for many years, so he had seen all the filthy stuff going on in the entertainment circle.

They consoled Naomi as they quickly made their way to their room.

All the crowd saw was Jonathan carrying a sack, so they had no idea there was a woman in there.

Soon, the trio arrived at the room.

Naomi stared at Jonathan with teary eyes. His forehead was drenched in sweat, and his lips were bleeding from the cut he had gotten from the fight.

This was the first time someone had gone all out for her.

Naomi was terrified and emotional at the same time. The moment the young man tore away the tape on her mouth, she threw herself into his arms and started to sob.

“I thought I was going to die, Jonathan!”

“What on earth happened?” Jonathan patted the woman’s back stiffly to console her.

He was an idol, so he couldn’t be in a relationship with anyone, nor could he get too close with women.

Moreover, he had very little experience in acting. He only had minor roles in two dramas, so he didn’t have much of an opportunity to get to know any actresses.

Besides, Jonathan had never been in a relationship in his life.

His heart pounded as it was the first time he was in such proximity to a woman.

Jonathan’s handsome face flushed red as he said, “Don’t be afraid. I’ve already fought off the bad guys.”

Naomi only told Jonathan and the manager about what had happened when she finally calmed down.

“I think the key to the problem is the cup of water,” Jonathan speculated as his brows furrowed.

The manager nodded, still feeling disappointed that the crayfish was wasted. “Naomi must’ve felt sick after drinking the water and fainted. Then, those men in black kidnapped her. But what did they want with Naomi?”

Jonathan’s frown deepened. “Who put drugs in the water?”

“According to my years of experience in the entertainment industry, we shouldn’t act rashly. We need to observe discreetly and find out who the culprit is before taking action,” the manager said.

“Are we not going to hand this over to the police?” Jonathan felt like they should report it to the police and let them handle it.

“Then we’ll go to the police secretly and make sure that no outsiders know about it,” the manager whispered.

“Okay.”

And so the three of them departed to the police station.
