896 A Million Times for You 258 (1/2)
”Sure.”
”Alright, go get some rest. You must be dead beat.”
Fang Erlan nodded and said, ”Don't tire yourself out either, Director.”
On the way back to the hotel, Fang Erlan and Xiao Yue almost fell asleep in the nanny van.
They were dog tired.
Once they arrived at the hotel, they alighted the nanny van with an umbrella in hand and scurried toward the lobby.
When they entered the elevator, Xiao Yue asked, ”Sis, what would you like to have for breakfast?”
”Sleep in and get more rest. You don't have to specially buy breakfast for me. I'll go eat something when I wake up.”
”Sure.”
Once she returned to her room, Fang Erlan lay in bed immediately, not having the energy to even take a shower.
At this moment, she felt something moving beneath the thin blanket.
Fang Erlan immediately sprung up and lifted the blanket, only to receive a great shock. She held her breath, and her eyes widened in astonishment as she let out a shriek of terror before running out of her room. She then frantically slammed her hand against Yan Ge's door.
Yan Ge was jolted awake and asked, ”What's wrong?”
”There's a snake on my bed…”
Yan Ge immediately headed to her room with Fang Erlan and discovered that there was a red snake lying sluggishly on her bed. He immediately called the hotel staff to get rid of the snake.
There's no way a snake would appear out of the blue, unless it was placed there intentionally. Who was the one who did it?
The management staff of the hotel declared that they would make a detailed investigation about the incident and promised to give her an explanation.
Fang Erlan's sleepiness vanished and she dared not sleep on that bed again.
The management staff thus arranged for her to move into another room. She initially stayed in room 804 while Yan Ge stayed in 802. The supporting actor and actress stayed in the rooms opposite. She was now moved to room 808, which was two rooms away from Yan Ge's.
However, Fang Erlan was frightened out of her senses. Animals like snakes that had no spines were her greatest fear.
After moving her belongings to the new room, she took a shower and forced herself to go to sleep while still shell-shocked and fearful.
She suddenly woke up at nine o'clock in the morning. Fang Erlan put on her clothes and headed downstairs for breakfast. At the same time, she decided to check on the progress of the investigation.
There were surveillance cameras in the corridors of the hotel, and anyone who entered her room would have definitely been caught on camera.
When she inquired about the situation from the front desk, she thought that the staff would tell her who the trespasser was. After all, the key card was required to unlock the door.
Yet, the staff at the front desk told her that the snake had crawled into her room from the balcony.
Fang Erlan refused to believe their explanation because she would make a conscious effort to close the balcony door shut every single day. Besides, her room was on the eighth floor. How could the snake have possibly climbed so high?
It was obvious that something was fishy.
”Were you guys bribed?”
The staff immediately answered, ”This concerns our hotel's reputation. We definitely wouldn't accept bribes.”
Fang Erlan was not convinced at all and instead decided to tell Mei Yangyang about the matter right away.
Mei Yangyang instructed her to wait patiently for her to arrive.
Fang Erlan was relieved to hear her words.
She then headed to the buffet restaurant to have her breakfast. She carried her food on the tray and walked toward the table. Just as she set it down, Jing Shui handed her a glass of juice.
”Thank you.”
Jing Shui sat down beside her and said, ”No problem.”
