Fu Dezheng was a little stunned and clearly hadn’t thought about this question before.
He answered uncertainly, “If there’s nothing urgent, you don’t have to open the door if I knock…”
“Hehe, alright, good night!”
Lu Lili was still smiling, with a curved eye and red lips and white teeth, in a very good mood.
Fu Dezheng nodded and watched her walk into the hotel room. “Hmm, good night.”
After Lu Lili took a shower and put on her pajamas, she was about to hum a tune to express her good mood when she heard a knock on the door.
“Hello, room service. Could you please open the door?”
It was a young woman’s voice, very gentle and polite.
Through the peephole, Lu Lili did see a woman in a hotel service uniform, with delicate makeup and a polite smile standing outside the door.
Remembering Fu Dezheng’s words, Lu Lili didn’t open the door rashly, but politely replied, “No need, thank you.”
“Alright, good night to you.”
The woman still had a polite smile on her face. After speaking, she turned around and pushed a beautiful hotel restaurant trolley away.
It seemed like she really came to provide room service.
However, when traveling, Lu Lili knew that being careful and cautious wouldn’t hurt, especially since she was a girl staying alone in a hotel room. It was really best not to open the door for strangers.
After blow-drying her hair, it was already late, and sleepiness overcame Lu Lili. She quickly turned off the lights and went to bed.
In the middle of the night, in a state of half-sleep and half-awake, the sound of the room card opening the door suddenly rang out—
*Beep!*
Lu Lili suddenly opened her eyes.
Her heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, her hands and feet were cold, and there was no trace of sleepiness.
“Sister System, it seems like a bad person has come!” She tried to call out to the system, but the answer she heard was:
[Sorry, your system is currently in sleep mode. Please leave a message if you need anything~]
“……”
Okay, it turns out that the system also needs to sleep at night!
Luckily, the door was locked with an anti-theft chain, and the person outside couldn’t push it open at once.
In the dimness, Lu Lili reached for her phone on the bedside table, quickly unlocked it under the covers, and dialed the first number in her call log.
She didn’t expect that she would need to call Fu Dezheng so soon, whose phone number she had just saved while having dinner at the hotel.
Seeing that the call wasn’t answered immediately, Lu Lili couldn’t help but feel anxious.
It was already past one o’clock in the morning. What if Fu Dezheng was sound asleep and didn’t hear the phone?
The night was very quiet, so quiet that Lu Lili could hear her own nervous heartbeat and the sound of the anti-theft chain being unlocked.
The person who came was surprisingly skilled at picking locks!
But then again, most thieves and assassins, for the convenience of their crimes, must have exceptional lock picking skills.
Immediately after that, the door was gently pushed open and the lights were turned on, instantly brightening up the room.
Two men walked in were so fast that Lu Lili couldn’t react. She had no choice but to pretend to be asleep in her bed and watch them through her eyelashes. Both of them had average builds and unremarkable looks, the kind of people who would blend into a crowd without drawing attention. However, the weapons they held were rather intimidating—
Sleek black handguns.
Each person had one.
Although Lu Lili had never seen a real gun before, she was not naïve enough to think that in this situation where someone was trying to kill her, these two men were just holding toy guns.
Just then, the call was successfully answered, and a man’s calm voice could be heard asking—
“Miss, what’s wrong?”
