Chapter 924 - 916: Timely Appearance
Xiao Yifei was stunned for a few seconds. It was hard to determine if the message was genuine. What if it was just a ploy by Qian Huahua? After all, she’s been pestering him for so long, and now, at her wit’s end, she might be using her ultimate weapon. A woman’s mind is indeed unfathomable, and he wasn’t even that familiar with Qian Huahua. Even if she was asking for help, it didn’t have to be him.
He decided to ignore the message, but he was a bit worried. It was so late, and if something really happened, he’d regret it for a lifetime. So Xiao Yifei put on his clothes and went out.
Better to take a look; it’s best if there’s nothing wrong. If something happens, it would be too late to regret it then.
As time ticked by, Xiao Yifei drove fast. Fortunately, it was night, and there were few cars on the road. He called Qian Huahua several times, but no one answered. His unease grew stronger—he kept silently chanting in his heart, hoping nothing bad happened.
He ran two red lights before reaching the hotel. As soon as he entered, he asked the service staff to take him to room 5204. The staff hesitated, asking for proof, but he hadn’t brought it. He didn’t have time to waste and said while walking, "5204 is in danger; I need to go up immediately." With that, he headed toward the elevator.
The attendant couldn’t stop Xiao Yifei and followed him up the elevator.
At the door of room 5204, the door was locked tightly. Xiao Yifei pressed his ear to the door and heard nothing. He pounded on the door forcefully. Seeing the staff standing dumbfounded beside him, he said, "Why are you standing there? Hurry and unlock the door!"
"Sir, without confirming your identity, I can’t unlock someone else’s door casually." The attendant said. Such situations happen a few times a year in their hotel, usually involving someone catching another in the act, which always ends up in a very embarrassing scene.
"Don’t talk nonsense. It’s a rescue message from my friend. If you don’t open the door, someone could die in there." Xiao Yifei showed the attendant the message that Qian Huahua had sent him.
The attendant, who seemed to be encountering such a situation for the first time, knew it was a matter of life and death, but as a mere front desk attendant, he didn’t have the authority. So he said, "I’ve just contacted the manager and security personnel. They will be here soon. Please don’t worry."
