Chapter 708: Chapter 708: I will bear all the consequences
When Li Shengxiao arrived, Jinxiu Hotel had already been completely locked down, with many people stuck at the entrance, as security wouldn’t allow anyone to leave.
Some people, unfamiliar with the influential backgrounds in Capital City and simply there on vacation, became agitated and started making a scene with the hotel staff.
However, no matter how much of a ruckus they made, even those who were agitated enough to call the police, it was all futile.
No one could leave!
And those who knew whose hand was behind the hotel lockdown, like Shi Mufeng, even if they felt uncomfortable, didn’t dare to make a scene and could only wait helplessly.
“What on earth has happened?”
“I don’t know.”
Whispers were everywhere.
It wasn’t until the hotel’s main doors opened, surrounded by dozens of bodyguards, that a black Lincoln stopped at the entrance.
Cui Jiangjing, who had arrived earlier, his aunt, and a group of Jinxiu’s investors hurriedly came out to greet them.
The man in dress pants and a shirt stepped out of the car with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, immediately capturing everyone’s attention like the sun, bright and dazzling!
“Shengxiao!” Cui Jiangjing had arrived less than five minutes before him, and as soon as he saw him, he was so anxious that he was nearly bursting, “Are you sure the person you’re looking for is here?”
“I’ve had my aunt and the others turn out all the surveillance footage, and we still haven’t found the person.”
There was so much surveillance video from the hotel that it had to be reviewed slowly; otherwise, one missed glance could mean missing something important.
“What now? What did Little Yan Rong tell you that makes you think something happened to her here?”
He had asked around in the hotel, and everyone said it had been a peaceful day with nothing noteworthy.
He also inquired about the private room booked under AQ, and the senior management of AQ said that Rong Yan left on her own, with no one forcing her to leave.
“Is she actually in the hotel or not? Why did I hear she’s already left?” Cui Jiangjing asked, still uneasy.
Li Shengxiao ignored the uproar on both sides, his noble face looking fiercely intimidating, his normally stoic eyes now seemed as cold as a thousand miles of ice, so chilling that it could freeze someone to death.
His rose-colored lips parted to release just one word, “Here!”
With unequivocal certainty!
Cui Jiangjing exhaled, sighing, “Alright, if you say she’s here, she’s here. But we haven’t found the person yet, we can only wait until the surveillance pinpoints her location in the hotel. Otherwise, with such a large hotel, how can we search?”
Li Shengxiao’s eagle eyes narrowed, his dark pupils burning with a flickering fire as he stared at him, “Knock on doors, open each one and search for me!”
“You—” Cui Jiangjing took in a sharp breath, feeling like his chest was about to explode, “Are you telling me a story?”
Jinxiu, even though not comparable to places like Dihor, was still a five-star hotel with guests of status and identity. Not allowing people to leave was already severe enough, but barging in to search would seriously offend people, wouldn’t it?
With this approach, he’d surely offend countless individuals!
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Li Shengxiao’s expression was impassive, “I’ll take full responsibility for all consequences. Get searching!”
Cui Jiangjing looked at him, at a loss for words; when he finally managed to speak, he squeezed out a phrase through clenched teeth, “I bet one day if Rong Yan really goes missing, it will cost you your life.”
“I’m ordering the search!” he said, though he knew Li Shengxiao was not one to back down and, despite the headache, he still planned to go through with it.
