Chapter 428: 428 My partner is in trouble

If it weren’t for Qin Suqing’s faint breaths, Lin Tang would have suspected she’d gone to a better world.

However, although Qingqing had no serious problems, the wound on her head was still untreated. If it’s delayed any longer, who knows what might happen?

Lin Tang was worried but couldn’t think of a solution for the moment.

Time quickly passed, and it was half past six.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

The middle-aged man in the room sprang up like a leopard, grabbed a wooden gun, pulled Lin Tang up, and pointed the wooden gun at her head.

He warned in a low voice, "You should know what to say—you’re a smart person."

Lin Tang nodded and said honestly, "... I know."

She naturally wouldn’t act rashly with the criminal’s motives unknown.

’Knock, knock, knock...’ the door was knocked on several times.

It was an unfamiliar voice.

"Comrade Lin Tang, your partner asked me to deliver photos to you. Please open the door," said the voice.

Upon hearing that, Lin Tang’s eyes, which were downcast, suddenly brightened.

A glimmer of light broke through the fog in her mind, casting a radiant dawn.

The middle-aged man’s expression remained unchanged, but the grip on Lin Tang’s arm tightened slightly.

The gun pressing against her head felt heavier too—a glaring threat.

Lin Tang’s body conveniently trembled, in keeping with the situation.

She maintained the appearance of being frail and harmless throughout.

She bit her lip and, with a trembling voice, said to the person outside:

"I’ve already gone to bed. Please give the photo back to them and say we’ll look at it together when we go to the cinema tomorrow. Thank you."

The person outside paused for a moment, didn’t think much of it, agreed, and then left.

The man inside listened at the door with his ear for any sounds.

After confirming there was no noise, he let go of Lin Tang and sat back down.

Lin Tang’s heart was pounding.

She silently prayed that the staff member would relay her exact words to Gu Yingzhou.

As long as the message was passed on, with Zhouzhou’s cautious and reliable nature, they would have a chance at rescue.

-

Gu Yingzhou had intended to stick to the agreed time and give Tangtang the photos by tomorrow noon.

However, on his way after getting the photos, he ran into his good friend Chen Feng.

After sharing a meal, he was dragged to the Guest House by Chen Feng, who had been relentlessly begging to see Lin Tang.

At that moment, Gu Yingzhou and Chen Feng were waiting in the rest area on the first floor of the Guest House.

Chen Feng looked expectantly toward where the staff member had disappeared.

He was extremely curious about Yingzhou’s partner.

"Your partner seldom comes to Sea City, why don’t you show her around?" he asked.

"Ice rink, cinema, Culture Palace? You haven’t visited these places, have you?" Chen Feng couldn’t control his urge to tease, "How did someone as dull as you find a partner?"

It was now just past six o’clock.

In Sea City, the nightlife had just begun.

How could one possibly sleep so early?!

Gu Yingzhou’s ears ached from his friend’s constant chatter on the way.

Tired of hearing more, he leaned back in his chair, blocking out all the noise, and began to rest with his eyes closed.

Chen Feng was accustomed to Gu Yingzhou’s reticent nature and didn’t mind, continuing to talk nonstop.

Until the staff member approached them.

Gu Yingzhou perceived the footsteps from afar and immediately opened his eyes.

Seeing the staff member coming alone, he stiffened.

His deep black pupils fixedly stared ahead.

The female staff member, meeting his gaze like a cold pool that seemed to pull people in, felt her heart tremble.

"...Your partner has gone to sleep and said to give you the photo when you go to the cinema together tomorrow," the staff member quickly said.

She hadn’t done anything to feel guilty about, but facing those eyes, she felt apprehensive!

Chen Feng wore a puzzled expression. Yingzhou’s partner goes to sleep this early?!

But Gu Yingzhou’s pupils dilated abruptly.

He stood up abruptly.

"...Is this exactly what she said?" he asked the staff member, his gaze intense and his complexion frightening.

Chen Feng, as his close buddy, could tell at a glance that Yingzhou was anxious.

Something was off!

With that in mind, he too tensed up.

He touched the dagger belted at his waist.

He scrutinized the woman in front of him closely.

The female staff member felt her heart nearly leap out of her chest under the scrutiny of the two towering men.

In her mind, she was crying out for help, yet her face earnestly and nervously relayed:

"The exact words were, ’I’ve already gone to bed. Please give the photo back to them and say we’ll look at it together when we go to the cinema tomorrow. Thank you.’

...I haven’t added or changed a single word."

Her will to live was immensely strong.

The fingers on Gu Yingzhou’s side involuntarily clenched into a fist.

His brow furrowed lightly, and he suddenly asked an unrelated question:

"Where’s the staff member with the surname Guo from the front desk?"

He remembered Tangtang mentioning that a staff member with the surname Guo would be at the Guest House these few days, but he hadn’t seen her upon arrival.

The female staff member uttered a puzzled ’ah’ and said, "Are you talking about Sister Guo?"

Without waiting for a response, she bitterly said, "I haven’t seen her since five-thirty, I’ve searched the entire Guest House, but couldn’t find her."

Otherwise, these two wouldn’t have to be waited on by herself.

A foreboding feeling grew stronger in Gu Yingzhou’s heart.

Tangtang must have run into trouble!

His eyes darkened, and his expression turned grim.

The chilling air around him could almost freeze a person solid.

Chen Feng waved his hand and dismissed the shrinking staff member.

He looked toward Gu Yingzhou with concern.

"Yingzhou, are you alright?" he asked.

The way Gu Yingzhou loomed like a furious deity reminded Chen Feng of the man fresh off the battlefield years ago.

With an aura of bloodlust, his eyes seemed to carry blades.

His gaze appeared lethal!

Gu Yingzhou came back to his senses and gave Chen Feng a look that made them both head out of the Guest House.

"Something’s off at the Guest House; my partner is in trouble," he declared, his voice slightly grave.

The unknown breeds fear!

He could tell Tangtang was seeking his help but had no idea what the situation inside was like, nearly losing his usual composure and calm.

When it concerned his loved one, it was impossible for anyone to remain calm.

Chen Feng’s expression shifted.

Having known each other for many years, he did not doubt his friend’s words.

His grave voice inquired, "What do you plan to do?"

Gu Yingzhou’s mind raced.

Looking at the Guest House shrouded in figurative darkness, he spoke in a cold, hard tone:

"You report to the police first, but be careful not to alert them. I’ll go in and scout the situation. We can plan further after that."

The first priority was to ascertain how many criminals were in the Guest House.

Chen Feng didn’t waste words; he pulled out the dagger strapped to his waist and handed it to Gu Yingzhou.

"I’m on it. Be careful," he urged, concerned.

Gu Yingzhou pursed his lips and nodded.

He turned and headed straight for the Guest House.

Went directly to the director of the Guest House.

Explained the situation and presented his credentials, easily gaining the trust of the Guest House director.

"How would you like to proceed? We’ll cooperate unconditionally," said the director.

The thought of several criminals inside the Guest House nearly brought the director to his knees.

Lately, the guests of the Guest House were talents from various major factories.

If anything their fault occurred, he might as well hang himself.

Gu Yingzhou quickly formulated a strategy.

He leaned toward the director of the Guest House, speaking in a low voice.
