"I...am at the West City Hotel?" Eleven found Gu Lianchengās tone a bit odd.
At the West City Hotel... was something wrong?
Gu Liancheng didnāt answer her; instead, he continued asking, "Where are you in the hotel right now?"
"Iām in the hallway... Sister Man is sleeping in the room. I didnāt want to disturb her, so I came out to call you. Some security guards are hanging around the door... oh, oh... theyāre looking this way again..."
To act naturally, Eleven didnāt look in their direction anymore, always feeling as if her gaze was avoided.
"Are you on the same floor as the presidential suite??"
"Yeah, since Li Sinian is picking up the tab, it certainly canāt be one of those ordinary suites downstairs, right?" Eleven laughed as she responded.
Just like Gu Liancheng, he would always choose the best.
He used to say this: life is already full of disappointments, so if you earn so much money and donāt spend it, do you plan to take it to your grave? Of course, you have to enjoy the best.
To always choose the best; never settle for anything less, that was his philosophy in life.
Eleven though, well, the carefree attitude towards spending money... isnāt it all because you have enough to be capricious?
Like her, who doesnāt have any money, she must budget carefully every day.
"You should immediately go back to Sister Manās room and stay there."
"Hmm, after I finish talking to you Iāll return," Eleven nodded and then asked, "But why? Your voice sounds as if something is wrong."
"Donāt ask any questions, just go back. Before I get there, do not leave the room. Be a good girl."
Though she didnāt understand why, Eleven nodded again, "Alright then! Iāll hang up and go straight back."
"Okay, see you soon, Iāll be there shortly."
The call ended with a beep from the microphone, leaving Eleven bewildered.
Could there be some danger here?
Maybe he also doesnāt know where is safe, so he simply asked her to return to Sister Manās room. At least he knows this is the safest place heās aware of?
Just as she had this thought, someone suddenly pulled her from behind, swiftly dragging her into a T-shaped hallway.
Eleven struggled, trying to scream, but her mouth was covered up firmly.
She widened her eyes, her mind a whirlwind of chaos.
No way, right?!
Some sort of premonition??
Is she actually in danger??
Gu Liancheng... help me...
Crying face.
...
"Just now, where did that woman go?"
The guards at the door looked around, only to find emptiness in the hallway.
"Donāt mind her, Mr. Li only tasked us with guarding Miss Xiao. The others have nothing to do with us."
"Makes sense."
...
Inside the speeding car.
Gu Liancheng tapped the carās inner display screen, pointed his fingers a few times, found a contact, and initiated a call.
"Cancel the transaction immediately."
"What did you say? Is it ahead of schedule? Thatās fast for today!"
He hung up the phone, even throwing away the Bluetooth earpiece.
There was a crossroad up ahead, with the yellow light about to turn red. The car in front was already slowing down. Gu Liancheng hit the horn repeatedly, and just as the yellow light was about to turn red, he accelerated past the car in front.
Now was not the time to think about whether to run a red light!
...
At a glance, the room she was in met all the qualifications for a kidnapping lair. It was dark inside, creating an atmosphere of terror.
Next, her hands and feet were restrained; Eleven was stuck to a chair.
In the endā
"Tell me, why am I tied up?"
Only using tape to gag her mouth was ineffective. With a shout, she was able to bust it open at once!
