Chapter 313: Sudden Love

Cai Xiaotang did not want to overthink it; after checking the route, she turned the car around and sped away.

After circling around for quite a while, she finally arrived at the entrance of a tall hotel.

Clutching a folder, she stepped out of the car, but instead of rushing inside, she quickly scanned the surrounding facilities and lowered her head to record something in the folder with her pen.

"Geographic location is average, surrounding facilities are not comprehensive enough... no convenience stores..."

Cai Xiaotang muttered to herself while rapidly recording the situation around the hotel.

Wanting to test what kind of rating a hotel would be given is not as simple as just coming to stay for two nights.

In addition to recording the attitude of the hotel staff and the age and convenience of the facilities, even the lighting, the fabric of the bed sheets, and even the surrounding geographical environment and convenient facilities are all within the scope of the inspection.

As Cai Xiaotang wrote, she raised her hand to check the time.

"It's only ten o'clock... might as well take a look around..."

Saying this, Cai Xiaotang began to stroll around the area casually.

This hotel was not near a bustling commercial district, there were no large shopping malls or entertainment venues nearby, and there were no construction sites either.

"Quietness level: perfect..."

Cai Xiaotang lowered her head to record another item on the form in her hand, and unhurriedly walked toward the back street of the hotel, intending to take a quick look at the situation there.

But she didn't expect that just as she reached the street corner, she suddenly heard a "clatter" from inside, as if an object like an iron rod had fallen to the ground!

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, she stopped instantly, and subconsciously widened her eyes as she looked toward the pitch-black alley.

It was a pity that there was only one dim street lamp in front, and the direction the sound came from seemed to be behind a corner in the distance.

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, a flash of hesitation crossing her eyes.

In a place like this... could there be some thugs fighting?

But it was obvious that a weapon had fallen to the ground just now, and things like iron rods are not toys when used to hit people!

Cai Xiaotang thought, and just as she was hesitating about what to do, she suddenly heard a sound from the alley again.

She immediately pricked up her ears.

Then she heard a man's trembling voice.

"Asura... I... I was wrong. I've been by your side for so many years; if I haven't earned any credit, I've at least put in the hard work. This time... this time I was truly blinded by greed. You... you spare me this once, I promise I will never appear in front of you again..."

"Tsk, what the hell were you doing earlier!"

Another man's impatient voice rang out, carrying a hint of rage.

The next second, there was a "bang"!

Immediately following that was a man's muffled groan, as if he had been punched.

Cai Xiaotang frowned fiercely, and without a moment's hesitation, she pulled out her phone and gripped it tightly in her hand.

They really were fighting in there!

It sounded like there were quite a few people!

Perhaps she should just sneak in and take a look at the situation... if there really was an uncontrollable scene inside, she would immediately retreat and call the police!

Cai Xiaotang thought, quickly setting her phone to silent and pre-typing the emergency number on the screen, ready to deal with any sudden situation.

The conversation inside continued.

"Asura, should we handle this according to the old rules?"

The man with the irritable tone from before asked.

"Mm." Another cold, clear male voice came through.

The voice carried a hint of laziness, yet it lacked even a shred of warmth, as if whether the person in front of him lived or died had nothing to do with him at all.

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps faltered again, and her heart instantly became even more hesitant.

Should she really go over?

Why does the other party sound like someone not to be trifled with...

Maybe she should just call the police!

Cai Xiaotang pondered for two seconds, looked at her phone, and planned to walk away quietly, keep an eye on the exit here, and then call the police.

But she didn't expect that just as she turned around, she suddenly heard a "click" sound by her feet!

Immediately followed by a series of sounds of wood falling to the ground.

Almost every hair on Cai Xiaotang's body stood up in an instant, and she subconsciously glanced at the corner.

She saw that there seemed to be some construction waste or similar things piled up there, which she hadn't noticed before.

She had accidentally kicked it when she turned around, which was what caused the noise.

"WHO!!!"

The alley was quiet for an instant, and the next second, the voices of nearly ten people overlapped as they asked the same word!

Cai Xiaotang widened her eyes instantly and ran toward the outside of the alley without looking back!

Damn it!

There are so many of them!

From the sound earlier, she thought there were only three people!

She didn't stop, running toward the outside of the alley at almost the fastest speed of her life.

But soon, the sound of pursuit also rang out behind her.

Cold sweat seeped from Cai Xiaotang's forehead, and she didn't dare to look back for even a second.

Yet she could still hear the footsteps behind her getting closer.

What to do... she's going to be caught!

Cai Xiaotang's mind went blank, but she suddenly remembered that her phone was still clutched in her hand!

Right!

Call the police!

Almost the instant the thought occurred to her, she immediately picked up her phone.

But she discovered that because it had been inactive for too long, the phone had already locked its screen.

Cai Xiaotang's eyes were filled with panic as she frantically pressed the side button of the phone.

The next second—

"Damn it! Still trying to run?"

The voice of the man who had been hitting someone just now rang out right against her ear, and the phone in Cai Xiaotang's hand was snatched away in an instant!

"Ah..."

She instinctively wanted to scream.

But before she could even make a sound, her hand suddenly felt empty!

Her arms were twisted behind her back by someone, and her mouth was also firmly covered!

"Don't make a sound, or I'll dislocate your arms right now!"

The man's fierce, threatening voice rang in her ear; Cai Xiaotang then saw clearly that the person in front of her was wearing sunglasses and had a vicious scar on his face, so she hurriedly nodded her head vigorously without hesitation.

Immediately, she saw out of the corner of her eye that another man wearing sunglasses was walking toward them.

"What's the situation?"

That man asked in a low voice, scanning Cai Xiaotang up and down.

The person holding Cai Xiaotang replied irritably, "I don't know, who knows who sent her? She's been parked here for half a day and even wanted to call the police!"

With her mouth covered, Cai Xiaotang immediately shook her head violently.

What on earth were these people up to!

Could it be that she had stumbled upon them conducting some kind of illegal transaction here!

Cai Xiaotang's brain buzzed, and the next second, her eyes caught a glimpse of something that seemed to be tucked into the waists of both men.

Was it a knife, or a gun?

Cai Xiaotang's breathing paused for a split second, and she suddenly felt her legs go weak.

Could she have really stumbled upon something she shouldn't have gotten involved in, and then...

And then be silenced by this gang, losing her life right here!

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, the next second, she heard the man beside her ask, "How should we handle her?"

Handle her?

Hearing these two words, Cai Xiaotang's eyes instantly filled with panic, and her eye sockets turned red in an instant.

How did they want to handle her?

By killing her to silence her!
