Chapter 215: Bewitching Zhou Fuhai

All right, stop admiring. We need to get down to business. I said to Shi Yong.

Shi Yong nodded,

"Right, getting down to business, this thing is not bad; later I'll have you use it." Shi Yong said, laughing, then pushed the door.

I and Shangguan Zhuren followed behind Shi Yong downstairs.

We quickly arrived outside the residential area; Shi Yong started the car and parked it at the roadside beside Zaocheng Grand Hotel.

I and Shangguan Zhuren walked to the goods entrance of Zaocheng Grand Hotel.

Since it was night, with no goods coming in or out, the door of Zaocheng Grand Hotel was locked.

I took out a simple tool, a wire, poked it twice into the keyhole, and the lock opened.

Shi Yong looked at me, showing an approving gaze.

Over the past few months, I have been learning these techniques from Shangguan Zhuren.

Our group quickly entered the hotel.

I am very familiar with the hotel's corridors and rooms; this Zaocheng Grand Hotel is the one we constructed.

I have previously looked at the blueprints of Zaocheng Grand Hotel,

Even the number and locations of the sewage outlets of Zaocheng Grand Hotel I know.

We arrived in front of the main building of Zaocheng Grand Hotel,

I had Shi Yong go to the garage.

I and Shangguan Zhuren came to the safety exit.

This safety exit is normally unused, the management of Zaocheng Grand Hotel is lax, and there are no lights.

I pulled open the door, and Shangguan Zhuren went inside. It's still warm in here.

Outside, the wind is bitterly cold.

The hotel's central air conditioning makes every corner warm and cozy.

Wait a bit, once Shi Yong cuts the power, it will be enough to make those people suffer.

I don't believe Zhou Fuhai won't come out to ask the front desk about the power.

Even if he doesn't come out, I'll smash his door open; anyway, I've had Shi Yong destroy the weak current room, so their surveillance cameras will all be ruined.

I had Shangguan Zhuren wait for me at the stairwell entrance.

I then climbed up the stairs.

I need to climb to the ninth floor and wait at the safety exit for Shi Yong to cut the power.

Fortunately, I've been training these days; I climbed to the ninth floor at top speed without getting out of breath or panicking. It seems training the body still works.

I reached the ninth-floor safety exit, took out my phone to check; the time is 10:23, with two minutes until the power cut.

I opened the safety door,

Damn, this safety door is actually locked.

Even the safety door is locked; this hotel is really done for.

If a fire breaks out, nobody inside will be able to escape.

Hou Laoban spends all day praying to Buddha and has no safety awareness at all.

This won't do,

I took out a tool and opened the chain lock.

Then I entered the ninth floor.

The time was exactly 10:25.

I didn't go forward; if I went further, the cameras would see me—this safety passage is a blind spot for surveillance.

If Shi Yong doesn't cut the power, I can't go in.

I can only wait.

Time passed second by second, I held my phone watching the time,

I was feeling very anxious inside.

The time had already reached 10:25, but the power still hadn't gone out.

What's wrong with Shi Yong,

Doing this little thing takes so long—is he getting old?

Another two minutes passed, the time was now 10:27, but the lights were still on, and I started to get anxious.

Because the longer it takes, the weaker the effect of the dissolved incense medicine will be.

Hurry up, I kept urging in my heart.

If I had known Shi Yong couldn't cut the power by going to the underground garage, I would have gone myself.

Just as I was extremely anxious, the lights in the corridor flickered and then all went out.

Shi Yong finally cut the power.

At that moment I heard someone in the hotel shout: "What's going on? Why did the power go out?"

But I hadn't gone out yet, because the green sign on the safety passage was still lit, indicating that the weak current electrical room hadn't been handled by Shi Yong, so their surveillance could still see.

I need to wait until everything goes dark before going out.

About another one or two minutes passed, and the light on the safety passage sign went out.

I poked my head out to look at the surveillance above the corridor; the red light was still blinking.

I can't worry about that much now,

because some rooms' doors have opened and people are coming out.

Anyway, with no lights, everywhere is pitch black, so even if there are cameras, I'm not afraid.

The steel plate on the room door was still legible.

I quickly arrived at the door of room 906.

The door of room 906 was still closed, indicating that the person inside hadn't come out.

I stood at the door waiting, my pocket already had the bewildering incense ready; as soon as Zhou Fuhai came out, I could directly cover his nose from behind and make him collapse quickly.

I was a bit nervous, after all, it had been many years since I last did something like this.

I never expected life to return to the starting point,

that year I dealt with Fan Shazi in this way at the Lanling Grand Hotel.

Now I'm using the same method to deal with Zhou Fuhai.

The hallway started to fill with people,

everyone was shouting about the power outage,

heading down the safety passage to ask the front desk what was going on.

If there's no air conditioning in this weather, I believe everyone would freeze to an unbearable degree.

I continued to stand at the door waiting,

at this moment the door of room 906 opened,

a head protruded from the inner room,

speaking standard Mandarin with a slightly hoarse voice,

"Damn, why did the power go out?"

As soon as I heard that voice, I knew it was Zhou Fuhai, because I had heard him speak on the computer.

My voice also became similar to his.

He looked outside, which was pitch black,

and then his whole body came out of the room,

I could see he was wearing only a pajama.

Zhou Fuhai's body was sturdy, his muscles clearly visible.

He took another big step forward, also wanting to go downstairs to find out what was happening.

I saw the opportunity arrive,

I lunged from the doorway straight at him at top speed, wrapping my arms around him from behind.

Not around his neck, but covering his nose.

Using the towel in my hand to cover it.

This Zhou Fuhai reacted extremely quickly,

he actually used a backhand to grab my head from behind,

his hand strength was enormous,

his hand pressed against my neck, my neck lodged exactly in his arm.

I clearly felt unable to breathe; I saw Zhou Fuhai exert more force, intending to throw me forward with a big back throw.

I could only muster all my strength to keep his nose covered, preventing him from breathing or speaking.

After about ten-odd seconds, I could clearly feel Zhou Fuhai losing strength.

This shows the bewildering incense is taking effect.

After a moment, Zhou Fuhai's body went limp and he lay on the ground.

I also sat down on the ground, at which point I exhaled.

My mother arrived, fortunately I had the bewildering incense in my hand; otherwise, Zhou Fuhai could have strangled me.

I took his hand off my neck,

Good grief, this guy is really formidable.

I took a breath,

It took great effort before I managed to hoist Zhou Fuhai onto my back.

This guy is really heavy.

Just thinking about having to descend nine flights of stairs is terrifying.

There's no choice; I can only bear the burden and go.

Because I was carrying Zhou Fuhai, I walked very slowly.

While descending the stairs in the safety passage, I happened to meet guests coming down,

someone asked, "What's going on?"

I hurriedly replied, "My friend has a stomachache, the power's out, I want to take him to the hospital now."

Those also going down, upon hearing, helped me support Zhou Fuhai.

Thus, I brought Zhou Fuhai downstairs while carrying him on my back.

When I reached the fourth floor, I really couldn't carry him anymore; I truly wanted to just dump him here.

Damn, how much food must have been wasted to get him this big.

I cursed to myself.

I wanted to call Shi Yong, but it wasn't convenient to pull out my phone.

I could only endure.
