Honest Beta gets scammed

The elevator doors closed slowly, and the elevator ascended smoothly.

Li Qing stood inside with a tray in her hand, the lingering aroma of meat buns still in her mouth, while she mentally considered the remaining two.

Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly realized that I had brought the steamed buns with me.

This……

Li Qing looked around; the elevator was so bright it was like a mirror, there was nowhere to hide.

Li Qing could only wrap the steamed bun in a plastic bag and stuff it into his pants pocket.

The uniforms at Shengxin Club were tailored to fit snugly, and the pockets were small, making it difficult to stuff two fist-sized buns inside.

One of the buns was still mostly sticking out, bulging and puffy. If it weren't for the plastic bag holding it in, it probably would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Li Qing thought for a moment, then simply pulled out a bit of the shirt hem that was tucked into his waistband, letting it hang loosely, just enough to cover the bun.

Let's just make do with this for now.

He thought to himself that he wasn't too busy at the moment, so he shouldn't be so unlucky as to run into Zhang Chen checking his appearance.

And it turned out just as he had thought.

The elevator doors opened, and the ninth-floor corridor was quiet with few people around. He easily delivered the drinks to the designated private room.

The guests in the private room had already drunk their fill, and were sprawled out on the sofas in twos and threes. Even the waiter in charge of greeting them was a little dizzy.

After putting down the drinks, Li Qing quietly withdrew, guessing that the place would probably be vacated and cleaned up soon.

Thinking about it, the check-out rush is about to begin, and things will get busy again.

He needs to take advantage of this little free time to fill his stomach quickly.

Li Qing carried an empty tray, glancing up at the security camera in the corner of the ceiling as he walked, then looking around to find a perfect spot to eat, where there were no security cameras or people around.

After wandering around the corridor for a while, he finally settled on a corner near the public restroom.

It's not that he has unique tastes and insists on choosing this kind of place.

The only blind spot was the area near the bathroom entrance, as the surveillance cameras provided almost complete coverage of the entire corridor.

Fortunately, the toilets at Shengxin Club have very high hygiene standards, and there was no odor in the air.

Li Qing wasn't exactly a fussy person. He crouched down and crept to the corner. After confirming that no one was around, he took out the remaining buns from his pocket and prepared to finish them off.

The aroma of the meat filling filled his mouth, and he chewed it with satisfaction. Just as he was about to take another bite and finish the bun, a muffled "bang" suddenly came from the bathroom not far away.

The sound wasn't loud, but it immediately reached Li Qing's ears in the quiet corridor.

Li Qing paused, even stopping his chewing motion.

Like a startled hamster, he puffed out his cheeks and turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.

"Hold……"

A suppressed curse was faintly heard.

Li Qing blinked, stuffed the remaining buns back into her pocket, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then carefully moved towards the bathroom.

"Hello?" he asked tentatively.

No one responded.

Li Qing moved closer.

As the distance closed, a familiar fragrance entered his nostrils.

Li Qing stopped in her tracks, a face flashing through her mind in an instant.

After hesitating for two seconds, Li Qing lowered his voice and spoke again, "...Mr. He?"

Still, no one answered him.

But this time, he clearly heard several cries of pain, sounds that seemed to be deliberately suppressed and trapped in the chest.

problem occurs!

Li Qing's heart skipped a beat, and without thinking twice, she ran over quickly.

As soon as he turned into the bathroom, he saw the figure without having to walk more than a few steps.

He Xiangchen sat on the ground with his back against the wall at the corner, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and his handsome face was completely bloodless.

Li Qing was startled.

"Are you alright?"

As he spoke, he reached out to help He Xiangchen up.

After taking a few steps, I inexplicably felt a tightness in my chest and shortness of breath, and my hands and feet seemed to be a little numb, making it difficult to take another step.

What's going on?

Li Qing looked surprised and uncertain.

Sensing someone approaching, He Xiangchen slowly lifted his eyelids. His blurry vision swayed for a while before gradually focusing, finally bringing Li Qing's face into view.

His brows furrowed, his breathing trembled, and he managed to squeeze out a few words with difficulty.

"...Get out of here."

The pain had greatly depleted He Xiangchen's strength, to the point that his warning sounded so weak it was almost like a murmur.

Li Qing didn't hear what he said at all.

But he felt the suffocating feeling in his chest suddenly disappear, as if some kind of restraint had been released.

He didn't have time to think about these things. Seeing that he could move again, he immediately rushed forward, squatted down, and checked He Xiangchen's condition.

Seeing that the other person looked like they might faint at any moment, Li Qing was also anxious and quickly reassured them, "Hang in there, I'll call someone to help right away!"

After saying that, he reached for the walkie-talkie.

"no……"

Upon hearing the words "call for help," He Xiangchen struggled to lift his head, opened his eyes, and grabbed Li Qing's wrist to stop him.

"You can't call out to anyone."

His current situation could spiral out of control at any moment. The more people who come, the more people will die if something really happens.

Li Qing stopped moving when his wrist was grabbed.

He didn't understand why, but seeing He Xiangchen's resolute expression, he had no choice but to change his mind and say, "Then... what should we do? Should I call 120 for you?"

He Xiangchen frowned, raised his head, stared at Li Qing with his dark eyes for a few seconds, and then spoke wearily.

"Give me my phone..." he said in a hoarse voice.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing immediately began searching He Xiangchen's body and quickly found the cell phone in He Xiangchen's trouser pocket.

He Xiangchen raised his hand, unlocked the screen with his fingerprint, and then, as if using all his strength, his arm fell heavily down.

"Call Xu... Assistant Xu," he instructed breathlessly, "and tell him I have pheromone imbalance... a headache, and ask him to bring people over."

"Okay, okay!"

Li Qing hurriedly opened her contacts, found "Assistant Xu" in her recent contacts, and immediately dialed the number.

The call was answered quickly.

"Mr. He?" came Assistant Xu's voice.

"Ah, no," Li Qing quickly explained, "Your boss He said he has a headache due to pheromone imbalance and asked you to bring people over."

"What?!"

The voice on the other end of the phone instantly changed tone, "Okay, got it! Where are you now?"

"Shengxin Club, ninth floor, near the restrooms!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

The phone hangs up.

Li Qing looked at her phone screen, breathed a sigh of relief, and then put the phone back into He Xiangchen's pocket. After putting the phone away, she looked up and found that He Xiangchen was staring at her again.
