Chapter 542 Crisis lurks everywhere
This morning, the hotel cleaning lady, who was doing her routine cleaning, passed by the young lady's designated room and saw a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. She immediately reported this to the manager after going downstairs.

"It seems the young lady came over last night; there's a 'Do Not Disturb' sign hanging outside her room."

The manager listened and nodded.

I dare not speculate on why the owner's beloved niece would choose to stay at the hotel; as long as their service is satisfactory, that's enough.

"Tell the cleaning staff to move more quietly, and remind guests with children to be mindful of their voices."

In fact, the 19th floor where Lu Chenxi lived was full of luxury suites, and most of the people living there were business travelers.

There are very few children that dogs hate and people dislike.

But managers must consider everything carefully.

The cleaning lady nodded.

"Understood, Manager."

"Go ahead."

"Ok."

…………

Meanwhile, Zhang Guoliang returned to the village.

Lu San called him over.

I asked him what he did last night. I called him so many times, but he didn't answer.

Sleeping so soundly?

When Lu San asked the questions, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Guoliang, not missing any change in his expression.

Even though Zhang Guoliang had saved Lu San's life twice, he still didn't fully trust him.

Zhang Guoliang replied without changing his expression, "I was out overnight last night and had a pretty wild time, so I didn't hear the phone ring."

"Oh?"

Lu San looked at Zhang Guoliang with interest. "Ah Liang, have you finally come to your senses? You're interested in women now?"

Zhang Guoliang said, "I've been holding it in for too long; it's bad for my health. Without good health, I can't do a good job for Third Master."

"Hahaha……"

Lu San was amused by Zhang Guoliang, who told him to take off his clothes and see how big his game was.

Although Lu San was smiling, seemingly wanting to watch the drama unfold, he actually wanted to confirm Zhang Guoliang's words.

Zhang Guoliang took off his trench coat.

Take off the sweater, and then slowly unbutton the shirt.

His body, neck, chest, and back were covered in scratches, as well as obvious hickeys...

The deep, long scratches on his back were still fresh, as if they had just been made.

Lu San was satisfied with what he saw.

"Just finished this morning?"

"I lost control for a moment."

Zhang Guoliang answered.

Lu San stood up with a smile, stepped forward, and patted him on the shoulder. "It's alright. Just work hard for me, and I'll give you countless women in the future. You can do whatever you want with them then!"

"Thank you, Third Master."

in the hotel.

Lu Chenxi slept for a long time, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to reach for her phone on the bedside table.

Something in her palm poked her hand, and she then noticed a ring with a cord attached to it.

The rope is black, and the ring is platinum with words engraved inside.

The items weren't very new.

But she recognized it at a glance; it was the pair of rings she bought when she was eighteen and earned her first money.

The rings are a pair, one men's and one women's.

After buying them, she packed them up and secretly went to the army base to give them to Zhang Guoliang.

She told him that his allowance wasn't much, and that she could earn enough to buy a ring.

If he wants her to marry him in the future, he'll just give her the women's ring.

She saved him a lot of money!
At that time, none of them imagined that they would face a five-year separation.

Those were such wonderful days.

Although she was dating behind her parents' and all her relatives' and friends' backs, as if she were doing something clandestine, she was still very happy.

Just thinking about him makes me happy.

She used to truly dream of becoming his bride after graduation. Later, they broke up, and she thought she would never have the chance to see that ring again.

Unexpectedly, it was now lying in her palm again. Lu Chenxi held the ring, when a phone rang beside her, pulling her back from her memories.

She dared not delve into Zhang Guoliang's meaning, put away the ring, and picked up the phone.

She glanced at the caller ID—it was from work—and frowned. Another case?
"Hey."

Lu Chenxi's voice was hoarse, almost silent.

If her colleague on the other end of the phone hadn't had excellent hearing, she probably would have missed her voice.

"Xiao Lu, do you have a cold?"

The voice that came through the phone was Liu Bin's.

Lu Chenxi was naturally embarrassed to say how her voice became hoarse. She gave a soft "hmm" and asked Liu Bin what was wrong.
"Guo Yang is in trouble."

"what?"

Lu Chenxi sat up abruptly, ignoring the soreness in her legs, and quickly pulled back the covers and got out of bed. "What happened? I'm coming right now."

"Let's talk about it when you get there."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chenxi reached for the clothes beside her and found a USB flash drive, which is still rarely seen on the market, on top of the neatly folded clothes.

Lu Chenxi remembered what the man had said last night, and she put the USB drive away.

Considering that this might contain all the results of his five years of hiding his identity, she dared not be careless.

I found some tape in a drawer, used it to secure the USB drive to my ankle, wrapped it tightly several times, and then put on my socks and boots.

It's safer to tuck your jeans into your ankle boots.

She quickly tidied up, glanced at the messy room, and frowned. She would wash the sheets and blankets when she had time.

You cannot call the hotel's cleaning service.

It would be bad if they let it slip and their uncle found out.

"Miss."

As soon as Lu Chenxi opened the door, she bumped into the manager who was standing outside. "You're up? Would you like some food?"

She had met this manager once before when her uncle brought her here, and she still remembered him.

Seeing him standing there with a smile on his face, Lu Chenxi nodded slightly.

"No, I have things to do."

"Shall I have someone clean your room?"

The manager asked again.

Lu Chenxi continued to shake her head.

"Need not."

There was blood on the sheets, and the room still smelled of blood. If they went in, the secret would be exposed.

"Do not bother me."

"Just pretend I was never here."

This room is only for her to sleep in anyway, so she can tidy it up whenever she has time.

The manager agreed.

He respectfully watched Lu Chenxi leave.

Lu Chenxi went down to the basement, started the car, and headed to the place Captain Liu had mentioned.

She called He Lihua while driving.

"Xixi, why didn't you come home last night? Were you too busy with work?"

As soon as the call connected, I heard my grandmother's concerned voice asking about my situation.

Lu Chenxi gave a vague "hmm" and got straight to the point.

"Grandma, I'm fine."

"Why don't you pack a few clothes and go back to Beijing with Duoduo for the New Year?"

"What's wrong? What happened?" He Lihua was also very perceptive. Hearing her granddaughter's arrangement, she suspected that something was amiss.

"Xixi, are you in some kind of danger? Should we call your dad?"

"No need, I'm fine, Grandma, give the phone to Duoduo."

Lu Chenxi asked He Lihua to pass the phone to Cheng Duo and repeat what she had said to the old lady.

Chengduo was reluctant to go home.

After all, I'm a little afraid of my parents.

Also, she doesn't know how to address Aunt Ping and Uncle Zhao when she sees them.

"Duoduo, listen to me, you have to take your great-aunt back now. Go buy plane tickets now, and I'll come to the airport to find you in a bit."
