Go directly to room 405 and enter using your room key.

The environment inside is alright.

The housing prices in Xingcheng are not as outrageous as those in Qingbei City, so hotel accommodations naturally don't start at three or four hundred yuan a night.

It's just a normal room with a large bed for around a hundred yuan.

Take a shower to refresh yourself.

With nothing to do, he lay in bed searching for past violent incidents in Xingcheng.

Soon, a series of web pages popped up.

There have been quite a few heinous incidents in recent years, such as surrogacy, organ transplantation, and human trafficking, which made him gasp in horror.

These people are incredibly bold!

They're utterly depraved; they'd even dare to make money through illegal means!

He then recalled the reminder in the letter that morning.

Won't......

This hotel is one of them, isn't it?

The most likely scenario is the trafficking of women, specifically female college students being abducted and sold to remote mountainous areas.

He was originally from the southwestern mountainous region, so he naturally knew what the situation was like there.

It can be said that once communication is cut off, it is very difficult to get out on one's own.

Some very remote villages are so remote that they can't even be reached by map navigation, and you need a local guide to get there.

If you can't understand that, then imagine a single household on a mountain peak, and a vast expanse of mountains with hundreds of thousands of households—that should make sense.

There is a family with five sons. After they grew up, each son owned a mountain and became a true mountain king, living a very happy life.

That's just how exaggerated the situation is.

Since nothing has happened yet, he naturally cannot call the police directly.

Sometimes things are just so frustrating; you know something bad is going to happen, but you can't call the police for help.

During the agonizing wait, Lin Zheng finally understood the frustration of the movie's protagonist.

Around 10:30, Zhou Shishi suddenly called.

Her voice was tense: "Hello? Lin Zheng, I think someone is knocking on my door, it's so scary! Is that you knocking?"

"coming!"

Lin Zheng let out a low exclamation, which startled Zhou Shishi.

"What's here?"

She was already quite nervous, and seeing Lin Zheng's sudden outburst, she immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Don't open the door, but you can ask who it is. Remember, absolutely do not open the door! I'll hang up now and contact you later," Lin Zheng emphasized calmly.

"Okay, okay."

Zhou Shishi was quite frightened.

She had just finished showering and was lying in bed playing on her phone.

There were several more knocking sounds coming from the door.

Seeing this, she got out of bed, quietly walked to the door, and looked through the peephole.

"Who is it? Why are you knocking on my door so late at night?"

She asked timidly.

Chapter 160 Can I Sleep With You Tonight?

Upon hearing Zhou Shishi's voice, the knocking outside immediately ceased, leaving only silence.

Zhou Shishi looked through the peephole and saw only a dimly lit, empty corridor.

A normal person would probably open the door to see what was going on.

However, Zhou Shishi had become quite nervous after Lin Zheng's instructions and dared not open the door.

As the saying goes, when the female lead in a horror movie is smart enough, nothing will happen.

At that moment, Zhou Shishi felt a chill run down her spine.

Why does it feel so strange?

Strange Lin Zheng, strange knocking on the door.

It's hard for her not to think about paranormal events.

Suddenly, the phone in her hand rang, startling her again.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Lin Zheng.

Before she could answer the phone, there was a loud crashing sound coming from the door.

"Zhang Li! You get out here right now! You fucking cheated on me, didn't you!? Huh!? Get out here right now!"

Suddenly, a man outside the door started pounding on the door and shouting loudly.

Holy crap! What's going on?!

Zhou Shishi looked completely bewildered.

What Zhang Li? What about being cuckolded?

What does this have to do with her?

She answered the phone while trying to open the door to explain.

"Don't open the door!"

The moment the call was answered, Lin Zheng's voice suddenly rang out.

"What's going on?"

Zhou Shishi's hand was already on the doorknob, ready to open the door.

"Listen to me, don't open the door! I've already called the police. Don't stay silent either; talk to them through the door and buy some time."

Lin Zheng spoke urgently on the other end of the phone, but there was a buzzing sound, as if he were talking to her under the covers.

"Okay, okay."

Zhou Shishi nodded. Even though the room had the air conditioning on and the temperature wasn't high, she was still sweating profusely.

There's nothing we can do; the situation is just too bizarre.

She suppressed her fear and said to the door, "You've knocked on the wrong door. Zhang Li isn't here."

Bang! Bang! The door was still being pounded on, and the burly man outside yelled, "Zhang Li! You fucking cheated on me and you won't admit it, huh?! Huh?! Open the door right now!"

Hearing the commotion outside, many of the tenants on the same floor opened their doors to peek out or even came out to check.

Three burly men were seen outside the door. The one in the lead, a fat man with big ears, was wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts. He kept shouting and banging on the door.

"I'm sorry to make you all laugh! My wife cheated on me in there, damn it! Adulterers!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding tenants were relieved; it turned out they had caught their partner cheating!

Their faces immediately lit up with expressions of amusement, and they curiously gathered around to watch.

"I told you Zhang Li isn't in the room, why are you knocking?"

Zhou Shishi probably understood what the person outside was going to do, and immediately became furious.

Damn it, can't you at least make sure you're in the right room before you catch someone cheating?!

“They’re not catching you in the act. Once you open the door and they grab you, no matter how you try to explain who you are, they’ll say you’re the person they’re looking for and forcibly take you away.”

Suddenly, Lin Zheng's voice came through the phone.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Zhou Shishi took a slight breath and whispered into her phone.

The police from Xingcheng arrived quickly, reaching the entrance of the Xingye Hotel in just a few minutes.

Under normal circumstances, if Lin Zheng calls the police, he would definitely need a sufficient reason for the police to respond; otherwise, it would be a waste of police resources.

But things like, a friend being knocked on the door by a stranger.

They certainly wouldn't respond that quickly for that reason.

but!

Calling the police claiming to have seen a wanted murderer is no small matter.

Lin Zheng described the people he saw, and the police immediately responded swiftly and decisively.

As for why the police believed him after he described it, that's another story.

Of course he's following the description of the wanted criminal on the official website. How could he be wrong?

"Shishi, the police are here. You can open the door now and see what happens next. Don't worry, I'm coming up too. I'll hang up now."

After Lin Zheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

He crawled out of bed, put on his slippers, and hurried upstairs.

As for why he made the phone call from under the covers, he was afraid that if he called the police, there would be surveillance cameras or listening devices that could overhear him.

No seats available! He's just that cautious!

At this moment, Zhou Shishi was panicked because she had no idea what was happening.

But trusting Lin Zheng, she still mustered up the courage to open the door.

The fat man in white was rushing towards the door when it suddenly opened. He charged in like a wild boar, nearly falling flat on his face.

The remaining two accomplices broke in together.

"Where's the adulterer?! Where's the adulterer?! Damn it! Where's the adulterer?!"

The people staying nearby all gathered around to watch.

They found that apart from a bewildered little girl, there was no one else.

Soon, the obese man approached Zhou Shishi: "Wife, where is that adulterer?"

"What adulterer? I don't understand what you're talking about, and who's your wife?!"

Zhou Shishi was still confused, and immediately frowned and retorted.

"Oh my god! Everyone, please excuse this, this is my wife, we're having a little tiff, there's probably no lover involved, please excuse the spectacle!"

Seeing so many people gathered outside, the obese man immediately waved and gave them a smile, then grabbed Zhou Shishi and said, "Wife, let's talk about it when we get home. I'll pretend this never happened tonight."

"What?! Who's your wife?! Who are you?"

Zhou Shishi was both angry and anxious. What's wrong with this person?

Seeing that the man was trying to pull her, she quickly dodged and said, "My name is Zhou Shishi, and I'm not his wife at all. He's mistaken me for someone else!"

"Hey, wife, what are you doing here! Second brother, come help me out, let's go home and talk about this, people are making a fool of themselves here!"

The obese man and another man grabbed Zhou Shishi and forcibly dragged her out. The other man went into the room, packed Zhou Shishi's bag, and walked out together.

Zhou Shishi finally realized what was going on.

Could she be...? Could she be about to be trafficked?

"Help! Help! I'm really not his wife! They're human traffickers!" she began to scream and struggle violently.

"Sorry, sorry, everyone, I'm sorry for making this a laughing matter. That's just how my wife is."

The obese man continued to smile at the people around him.

Everyone else acted as if they knew what was going on, standing by and watching the show.

Just then, Lin Zheng and several plainclothes police officers came up in the elevator.

I also heard Zhou Shishi calling out.
