Chapter 68

~8 min read 1,472 words

Shen Xi heard the ringtone coming from her bag and was instantly stunned, opening her bag in a flurry.

Before she could turn it off, a shadow covered her.

Ke Zhongyu looked down at Shen Xi, his expression indifferent: "Why is her phone with you?"

"Who who..." Shen Xi's eyes were panicked, and she stuttered.

"Speak!" The man's voice was sonorous, his gaze fierce.

Shen Xi was scared to tears, tears falling straight down, and the phone in her hand was snatched away by Ke Zhongyu.

"She, she was drunk, and the phone was in my bag."

Ke Zhongyu didn't believe it at all; in his eyes, the Shen family, besides hypocrisy, had ulterior motives.

"Where is she." Ke Zhongyu's face was terrifyingly dark.

Shen Xi wiped her tears: "Asleep, she fell asleep."

"I'm asking for the room number!"

"I, I don't remember."

"Still lying." Ke Zhongyu saw through it at a glance.

Manager Yuan immediately said: "President Ke, I will check the surveillance immediately; I will definitely find Secretary Jiang within ten minutes."

"Hurry up." Ke Zhongyu was no longer sleepy and signaled Special Assistant Zhou: "Keep an eye on this sister of President Shen."

In less than ten minutes, Manager Yuan came over with a room card and said tremblingly: "Found it."

However, she only saw which room Shen Xi supported Jiang Lai into and came to report, without looking at the situation in the following minutes.

Ke Zhongyu: "Secretary Guan, follow."

When they went up, they happened to brush past a man who was cursing and whose pant legs were completely soaked.

Beep.

The room door was opened again.

The floor was overflowing with cold water, and there was a cardboard box with graffiti on it.

The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.

Ke Zhongyu walked over with big strides and raised his hand to knock on the door; something was immediately knocked over inside.

"Jiang Lai." The sound of water drowned out his shout.

Manager Yuan said: "I saw with my own eyes in the surveillance that President Shen's sister supported Secretary Jiang into this room."

"President Ke, Secretary Jiang must be inside." Secretary Guan pointed to the cardboard box in front of her, "This box was sent from a welfare institute."

Ke Zhongyu shouted again: "Jiang Lai!"

There was no response from inside.

Secretary Guan became anxious: "With so much water, won't Secretary Jiang be drowned inside?"

Ke Zhongyu said coldly: "Find tools to smash the door."

"Okay, immediately." Manager Yuan went out to find tools.

Ke Zhongyu couldn't wait and had already kicked it; the quality of the door was too good, so much so that he kicked it twice with all his strength and didn't kick it open.

Secretary Guan ran out to the corridor to get a window-breaking hammer and immediately handed it to President Ke.

Ke Zhongyu swung the hammer and smashed the door again and again. When Manager Yuan had someone swing a large sledgehammer over, the door was broken open with one blow.

The water in the bathroom poured out, and the chill swept to everyone's thighs.

Jiang Lai was lying in the bathtub, her cheeks flushed, and the water was just about to cover her lips.

If they had been one step later, the water would have covered Jiang Lai's lips and nostrils.

Ke Zhongyu's pupils shrank, he bent down and entered through the hole in the door, waded through the water to the bathtub, and quickly scooped Jiang Lai out of the bathtub.

Suddenly, a pain came from his arm.

Jiang Lai's fingers were pinching him hard.

"Don't, fear, I..." Her eyes were blurred, her voice was weak, but the strength in her fingers was so great that even Ke Zhongyu felt the pain.

She didn't let go even though it hurt.

"It's me, Jiang Lai."

"Secretary Jiang, I'm Secretary Guan; don't be afraid, President Ke and I are here to help you." Secretary Guan also bent down and opened the locked door from the inside, and more water flowed out.

The water on the ground became shallower, only to the back of the shoes.

"Guan, Guan..."

"It's me, it's me, Secretary Jiang." Secretary Guan reached out to hold her hand; the first feeling was cold, followed immediately by hot, and she was shocked, "Why is it so hot?"

"Call Chi Ce."

Chi Ce was Ke Zhongyu's private doctor.

"Hurry." Ke Zhongyu felt that what he was holding out of the water was a burning hot branding iron.

Secretary Guan took out her phone and called: "Doctor Chi, please come to the Ke Lin Hotel as soon as possible."

Ke Zhongyu added: "In my suite."

Hotel lobby.

Shen Xi was spinning around anxiously, especially after seeing the man Lin Shutong found leave with an unlucky face not long after Ke Zhongyu and the others went up, she felt even more ominous.

She wanted to send a message to Lin Shutong to say that the plan had changed.

But Special Assistant Zhou was watching her too closely.

"Miss Shen seems very nervous? Did you do something guilty?"

"No." Shen Xi held her phone, and Special Assistant Zhou would look at her with a warning look if she moved.

Too terrifying.

The assistants around the Ke family were all terrifying, not at all as gentle as they looked on the surface.

"Since not, what is Miss Shen looking around for? People who have done guilty things are all like this."

Shen Xi swallowed, making an excuse: "It's too late, I have to go back, otherwise my parents will be angry."

"Miss Shen is already at the hotel, why not stay at the hotel?"

"I... none of your business!" Shen Xi stood up abruptly, looking savage, "Does it have anything to do with you whether I go back or not?"

"Of course it does. We reasonably suspect that Miss Shen has done something harmful to the Ke Lin Hotel. Before it is checked out, we can only trouble Miss Shen to wait here. If Miss Shen has no problems after the check, our Ke Clan will give a certain compensation, and I will sincerely apologize to you personally."

Special Assistant Zhou's words left no room for error.

Shen Xi regretted it in her heart.

If she had known, she wouldn't have chosen the Ke Clan's hotel.

But this was the most luxurious hotel in A City, and the cheapest night cost four or five thousand. Sister Shutong paid for it; it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.

Shen Xi looked dejected.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Shen Xun and Lin Shutong walking into the hotel, as if seeing a savior, and called out aggrievedly: "Brother! Sister Shutong!"

Shen Xun and Lin Shutong looked over and also saw Special Assistant Zhou beside Ke Zhongyu.

Lin Shutong was stunned for a moment.

Something went wrong?

Shen Xi ran over quickly, took Lin Shutong's arm, and whispered in her ear: "President Ke went to find Jiang Lai and drove away the person you found. I was watched and couldn't send you a message. What should I do now?"

Lin Shutong's eyes rolled, and she asked in a low voice: "Are you saying Jiang Lai and President Ke are together?"

Shen Xi nodded dejectedly: "Mm."

Lin Shutong curled her lips instead: "It's fine."

Compared to other men, Jiang Lai cheating with Ke Zhongyu would make A-Xun believe it more and make A-Xun even angrier.

Caught in bed this time, they should get a divorce, right?

"Xiao Xi, are you sure you saw Jiang Lai and another man enter this hotel?" Lin Shutong frowned, "Could you have seen it wrong?"

Shen Xi immediately understood: "I didn't see it wrong."

Shen Xun's face had been foul since the moment he heard the news. Hearing his sister say this, he asked directly: "Which room?"

"I don't know. I only know that as soon as I went downstairs, I was stopped by President Ke's assistant." Shen Xi looked at Special Assistant Zhou not far away.

The smile on Special Assistant Zhou's face gradually disappeared.

Finished.

President Shen looks like he's here to catch an affair.

President Ke has become the adulterer.

President Shen was walking toward him, suppressing his anger and asking: "Special Assistant Zhou, may I ask where my wife Jiang Lai and President Ke are!"

And he didn't know what the situation was upstairs at all; Secretary Guan hadn't sent him a message.

In the presidential suite.

Jiang Lai was lying on the bed, soaked. Without the soaking of cold water, her whole body was hot, and she subconsciously reached out to pull at her clothes.

"Don't move." Ke Zhongyu bent down to hold down her hands that were moving around, suddenly meeting a pair of amorous eyes, rippling with waves.
