At the most high-end hotel in Lin City, guests were abundant.
In the sea of lavish decorations and wine, the rich and the influential were mingling, uttering light laughter and words resonating peace and prosperity.
Suddenly, a stir arose within the hall.
A girl clad in disheveled clothes was desperately running forward.
"Damn woman! Stop!"
"Hold on! How dare you hit Boss Qi, you're done for!"
The furious voice of the man echoed behind her, scolding harshly.
Shivers ran down Lan XiaoXiao's spine. Immediately, she switched her route, sprinted down another corridor, not daring to look back.
Ah!
Her pupils contracted, her petite face blanketed with an unnatural tint of red twisted in fear.
She was out of ways to escape.
The unsettling flames of anxiety flared within her, giving rise to a wave of debility. Stumbling over her own feet, she almost lost her balance.
The sweat began to streak down her temple, pouring down in tiny beads, causing bouts of vertigo to wash over her.
That wretched Lan WeiWei, in her quest to marry into an affluent family, went as far as to push her onto the bed of their elder cousin.
That old man still has the audacity to lust after women! Her kick just now, it's enough for him to suffer for the rest of his life.
However, because of this, she probably won't be able to get out of here today.
Ahead, only the window at the end of the corridor was open.
The height of thirty floors would certainly result in being crushed if she were to jump!
"Search! Look through every room for me if that wretch escapes today, you won't stand a chance!"
The voice of the old man was getting closer, and Lan XiaoXiao’s panicked breathing was out of control. Her heart pounded like a drum.
In a rushed glance, it seemed there was a faint light in the room over there, and the door didn't appear to be closed properly.
Without time to think further, Lan XiaoXiao decisively crawled in, and with a click, locked the door.
Leaning back against the door, her drugged body was becoming increasingly difficult to control.
Heat, spreading from within her body, made Lan XiaoXiao feel like a fully-cooked shrimp. It was as if countless ants were gnawing away inside her.
Her legs trembling, no longer able to support the weight of her body.
Wiping the sweat off her face subconsciously, she pulled down her collar, trying to alleviate the heat consuming her.
Lan XiaoXiao fiercely pinched her thigh, forcing herself to stay awake.
They must have gone far by now, if she leaves now...
Chaotic footsteps ran past her from behind, stopping right outside the door, causing Lan XiaoXiao, who had just let out a sigh of relief, to tense up again:
"We've searched every room except this one. No one's here!"
"What are you staring at? Knock on the door!" The old man roared in a shrill voice akin to a eunuch.
"But boss Qi, this is the room of that important person. We can't afford to offend him!"
"What?" The old man hesitated.
Pressed against the door, Lan Xiaoxiao's heart nearly stopped.
Is there anyone in this room? Who could this important person they mentioned be?
Did she just escape from the tiger's jaws into the wolf's den?
"Everyone, block that side. I don't believe she won't come out!"
Ruining a relationship with Lin City’s crown prince for a woman wasn’t worth it. He didn't believe that the noble prince would be interested in a naïve girl.
...
Emerging from the bathroom, Ji Yuntian expertly tied the belt of his bathrobe with his slender fingers, detecting the hurried breath in his room, his thick brows knitted together.
Someone dares to invade my room? Are they tired of living?
In his hand, a revolver appeared out of nowhere, approaching the corner.
His dark eyes dimmed, and the face which was flushed from alcohol appeared in front of him.
