Chapter 302: Blocking a Knife

Perhaps I'm just worrying needlessly; I've overcomplicated thinking about these things.

After waiting here for a while, Xiao Ming's phone suddenly rang.

Xiao Ming glanced at it; it was indeed Liu Peipei calling, and only fifteen minutes had passed since she went upstairs.

"Hey, Peipei, how's it going over there? I'm waiting at the hotel entrance."

"General Manager Xiao, this guy is already asleep, completely unconscious, but there are a lot of things in the box—I don't know what I should take."

"Alright, don't panic; I'm coming up right now."

"General Manager Xiao, are you coming up? If you do, it might be inconvenient; otherwise, tell me and I'll read them out for you to see."

"No need, I'll still go up; if you're alone, it's indeed inconvenient for me, so wait."

After saying that, Xiao Ming hung up the phone and hurriedly walked toward the hotel lobby.

"General Manager Xiao, what are you going to do?"

"I just called; they said they found something upstairs, so I have to go check it out."

"General Manager Xiao, let's go with you."

"Nonsense, if that many people go, isn't that just asking for death? Just stay here and guard."

"General Manager Xiao, how can that be okay? And what if something dangerous happens when you face him?"

"What danger could there be? Peipei already said that guy is completely unconscious, and the other fellow is still enjoying himself—rest assured, it's absolutely safe right now."

"Then, General Manager Xiao, I'll wait for you at the hotel elevator; if anything happens, please call me right away, okay?"

"Okay, I got it; don't worry, I should be down soon."

After saying that, Xiao Ming hurried into the lobby and then went straight into the elevator.

After all, we had already figured out where those two foreigners were staying, so, familiar with the route, we went straight to their room's door.

Xiao Ming didn't dare to knock; he just lightly coughed outside the door.

He knew Liu Peipei should be waiting for his arrival.

Suddenly the door opened, and he saw Liu Peipie standing behind it, somewhat disheveled.

"You, you're okay?"

"It's fine; I just shoved him a couple of times earlier, no big problem, and I didn't let him take advantage."

"Alright, let's hurry—where are the things now?"

While speaking, he quickly walked into the room and then glanced to the side.

The room isn't actually large, but in the corner there were three suitcases.

Each suitcase seemed to contain different items.

Xiao Ming walked over and opened one suitcase to peek inside; it was full of various documents and contracts, all in foreign languages.

The other two suitcases appeared to have passwords.

"How come these have passwords?"

Xiao Ming stood up and then said to Liu Peipei.

"So I don't really know what's going on; I think there's something important in here that I can't handle alone."

"No problem; if that's the case, let's just take all these boxes with us."

"Take them all? But wouldn't that cause too much of a commotion?"

"It's already this late; we can't worry about that. Come on—I'll push the two password-locked ones, you take that box, hurry up; after we go down we'll figure it out."

Actually, Xiao Ming was thinking that downstairs he'd try to open these boxes, see if there's anything they need inside, and if so, he'd leave it for them.

If he found nothing, he'd naturally return the three boxes to the room; all of this could be done without anyone noticing.

The two were pushing the boxes, preparing to go out, when suddenly they heard a strange noise.

Then Xiao Ming quickly turned his head; he didn't expect that the foreigner would suddenly wake up from the bed.

"You guys, what are you doing?"

While speaking, he jumped straight down from the bed.

Xiao Ming felt utterly foolish at that moment.

Just a moment ago he was clearly sound asleep—how could he wake up so quickly?

He didn't have time to think further, then grabbed Liu Peipei and prepared to flee the room.

But the foreigner was tall and big; he took just two steps over and shoved them back into the room.

"Well done, daring to scheme against me and even try to steal my stuff—you two are really asking for trouble."

While speaking, he suddenly flashed a shiny dagger in front of Xiao Ming.

When Xiao Ming saw this, he was truly startled; just moments before he hadn't noticed such a thing in his hand.

It seems he had been prepared all along.

"I said it—how could a beauty just throw herself into your arms so easily? Turns out someone's been pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Speaking, the foreigner step by step drove them toward the corner of the room.

Xiao Ming instinctively shielded Liu Peipei behind him, trying to hide her body as much as possible.

"You, what are you going to do?"

"What am I doing? Since you've come to my door and are trying to steal my stuff, this counts as self-defense."

While speaking, he suddenly pulled out the dagger and thrust it straight at Xiao Ming's chest.

Xiao Ming staggered back two steps, then tripped and fell to the ground.

Finally, the man seized the opportunity and prepared to stab him again.

At that moment, Liu Peipei suddenly lunged forward and threw herself onto Xiao Ming.

"Ah."

Following that, Liu Peipei let out a miserable scream, and then the knife directly stabbed into her back.

"Peipei, Peipei, how are you?"
