337 Peculiar Occurance (2/2)
Her last call was made from the Hilton Hotel!
”Does this mean that she's been kidnapped?”
With that thought in his mind, Xiao Luo frowned—Su Li was Su Xiaobei's only kin, and nothing must happen to her.
His fingers clattered urgently on the keyboard, and he quickly accessed into Hilton Hotel's network system. Su Li's name wasn't on the list of guests, but from the surveillance footage, he saw Su Li entering room 2011 with a well-dressed lady who appeared to be of high station. Su Li seemed to be draped in a scarf to avoid being recognized.
He promptly left the internet café, then hailed a taxi and rushed to Hilton Hotel.
...
...
The Hilton was a five-star rated hotel and one of Xiahai's most luxurious—the lodging of choice for the rich and famous.
Xiao Luo found his way to room 2011 in no time. There was a ”Do not Disturb” sign hanging on the doorknob, but that didn't stop him. With a thrust of his palm, the thick sandalwood door flew open, and there he found Su Li sprawled on the bed. The well-dressed lady he had seen on the surveillance cam was undressing her.
”W-who are you?! Why are you here?” The well-dressed lady was shocked as she stared at Xiao Luo in terror.
”I'm asking the question here! Who are you, and what are you doing to Miss Su?!” Xiao Luo glared at her chillingly, then glimpsed at Su Li.
The well-dressed lady composed herself, then she stood up confidently and said, ”I'm her mother!”
”Really? Would a mother drug her own daughter?!” Xiao Luo growled as he stepped toward her.
”Don't come any closer, get out now! Security! security…”
The well-dressed lady started screaming but suddenly stopped—she took stock of the situation and realized that If what she did was exposed, the consequences would be dire.
Xiao Luo did see some similarities in their features, so perhaps this lady was indeed Su Li's mother, as she claimed. But this was not his concern at the moment, for all he cared was to make sure that Su Li was safe.
He went over to Su Li and checked her vital signs; she was breathing and had only passed out. There was an almost-empty teacup on the bedside table, so the drug must've been laced in her drink.
Without saying another word, he lifted Su Li off the bed, carried her, and walked toward the door.
”B*stard, who the hell are you? Let go of my daughter right now!”
The well-dressed lady screamed as she rushed forward and attempted to pull Su Li away from Xiao Luo.
Before she could even lay a hand on Su Li, Xiao Luo kicked her down. He didn't use much force, just enough to push her off. But the well-dressed lady flew and crashed on the floor next to the bed.
”I don't care if you are Su Li's mother or not, but you better stay down for your own good. Otherwise, my next kick will not be so light.”
When she looked into his eyes, the well-dressed lady shuddered. His eyes glowered as if a wild beast lurked within, and it sent a chill down her spine.
With Su Li safe in his arms, Xiao Luo strode out the room.
As he walked through the lobby carrying Su Li in his arms, the front desk staff were alarmed and immediately alerted security. He was confronted just when he exited the hotel entrance. Several guards converged on Xiao Luo, preventing him from leaving as they needed to question him.
Xiao Luo was simply too tired to explain. He delivered a few kicks and dispatched them all in a quick time. They fell on the floor, clutching their mid-sections and groaning in pain.
...
...
He quickly found a cab, and they were now on their way back to the Crescent Bay Hotel. The taxi driver couldn't refrain himself and said, ”Brother, is she your girlfriend? Wow, she really looks a lot like the Nation's Goddess, Su Li!”
”Drive. Don't talk.”The cabin fell into an awkward silence. The driver dropped them off at the Crescent Bay Hotel and watched as Xiao Luo carried Su Li in. ”Sigh, why do beautiful women always belong to others…”
