After he gave the order, he took out a wig from his pocket and put it on his head. His short hair was immediately parted in the middle. The other two also took out caps and put them on one after another. They then pressed the brim of the cap down. The three of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time. They pushed open the door of the stairwell and went straight to Room 316.
In Room 316, Zhuang Haixia was leaning against Simmons' head and staring at the quilt in a daze. Her two arms were crossed in front of her chest, and her right hand was still holding her phone. If she had to find a word to describe her current state of mind, "restless" was the most appropriate word.
"Dong, dong, dong." Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, which woke Zhuang Haixia up from her daze.
She looked over with a confused expression. From her angle, her line of sight was blocked by the outer wall of the bathroom, so she couldn't see the door at all. After thinking for a while, she got off Simmons and went over to see who was knocking on the door. However, the knocking did not come again.
"Did I hear wrongly? Maybe it's the door next door. "
Just as she thought of this, there was another knock on the door. This time, she heard it clearly. It was her door. She got off Simmons and walked to the door, asking, "Who is it?"
There was no peephole on the door, so there was no way to know who was outside.
"Room inspection!" The third brother said loudly outside, "Please cooperate with our work!"
Room inspection? Zhuang Haixia was stunned, and a trace of doubt appeared in her heart. She had heard from Zhang Hui that this Qingyang Hotel was a place specially used by the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee to receive distinguished guests. It was a public institution under the Municipal Government's Reception Department. Like the Public Security Bureau, it was under the Municipal Government. Even if the Public Security Bureau checked all the hotels and inns in Qingyang City, how could they check their own department?
Thinking of this, she felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart. Thinking back to how upset she was just now, she suddenly felt a little scared. Then she suddenly remembered that the room opposite the one she was in was not far from hers, so why hadn't she heard any sounds of ward rounds coming from outside? It seemed like the person at the door was here for him?
Thinking of this, she was so scared that she shivered. She did not ask who the people outside were, nor did she ask what they were investigating. Instead, she cleverly played a stalling tactic and said, "Okay, police comrade. I'll put on my clothes first. Please wait a moment." After saying that, she quickly went back into the house to think of a countermeasure.
Third Brother, who was standing at the door, gave his two companions a look, indicating for them to calm down. He thought that it would be best if they didn't have to force their way in. It was also the least risky. As long as she was in the room, what was there to be afraid of waiting for a few more minutes? Could it be that she could grow wings and fly down from the third floor?
When Zhuang Haixia returned to the house, the first thing he did was to put on his shoes. Although he was so scared that his hands were trembling, he forced himself to calm down and think of a plan. Since he still had his phone in his hand, he scrolled through the call log and found Li Rui's first message. He then quickly walked to the front of the Simmons and opened the window to see if there was any possibility of escaping through the window.
Below the window was an air conditioner unit. Below that, there was nothing. He could see the ground directly. Using the light from the guest room on the first floor, he could see that there was a rectangular flowerbed on the ground. There were small cypress trees and evergreen plants that were more than a meter tall. For a building, the actual height of a three-story building was about the same as a two-story building. It was about six meters, which was not considered high. If the cushioning effect of the one-meter tall flowerbed was taken into account, the actual height was about four to five meters.
Even so, Zhuang Haixia was secretly shocked. Not to mention a two-story building, she had never even jumped from a bungalow before. At most, she could jump from a platform that was about one meter high. That was enough to make her legs break. If he really jumped from the third-floor windowsill today, he might immediately fall to his death.
"No, definitely not. Unless I'm about to die, I definitely can't jump!"
Zhuang Haixia set a line of fire for himself that he could not cross easily. The phone had already rung three or four times, but Li Rui still did not answer. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. That damned Li Rui, where did he run off to at such a critical moment? Didn't he know that I was being watched?
There was another knock on the door. Brother San's voice sounded again, "Comrade, are you dressed? Please open the door."
When Zhuang Haixia heard that person's voice, it was as if he was being urged. He was so scared that his face turned pale. He had already turned back to the Simmons, but when he heard that, he walked to the window to take a look. At this time, the number of calls had exceeded the limit. He had no choice but to hang up and call again. At the same time, he frowned and went back to the Simmons. He picked up all the bedding and pillows on the Simmons and threw them out of the window. He threw them onto the flowerbed, preparing to prepare himself for jumping off the building.
"That bastard, if you don't pick up the phone, I'm going to be forced to jump off the building!"
At this time, Li Rui had just come out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around him. When he heard the phone ringing loudly from the pile of clothes, Yuan Jingjing also said from the bedroom, "Look who's calling. Hurry up and pick up, so annoying!"
Li Rui smiled and walked to the sofa. He pulled up his pants and took out his phone. It was Zhuang Haixia calling. He was a bit puzzled. It was already ten o 'clock, what did she want to talk to him about? He thought that this woman's temperament was quite stable and would definitely not call him for no reason. He unhappily picked up the phone and said, "Reporter Zhuang, you're not asleep yet?"
Zhuang Haixia finally contacted him. She was slightly relieved and said fiercely, "Where the hell did you go? I'm about to be forced to jump off the building. "Li Rui thought she was joking and laughed," Jump off the building? Are you kidding … "Zhuang Haixia was angry and scolded in a low voice," I'll open your fucking head … Someone is looking for me. I'm going to be kidnapped again. " Li Rui heard her scolding and realized that she was not joking. Moreover, the situation was very urgent. He hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Tell me quickly. " Zhuang Haixia said, "Someone is knocking on my door right now. They say they want to check my room. But how can the police check my room to the Qingyang Hotel? Besides, I didn't hear them checking anyone else. It seems like they're coming directly for me. I suspect that the people from the Heiyaogou Coal Mine are coming after me. "
Li Rui was shocked and said, "No way, why would the people from the coal mine be chasing you?" Zhuang Haixia said unhappily, "You're asking me, but who should I ask? Hurry up and tell me now, what should I do? If you don't have a good idea, I can only jump off the building. "Li Rui was so scared that he shivered and said," Which floor are you staying on? "Zhuang Haixia said," The third floor. " Li Rui let out a sigh of relief and said, "The third floor is easy to jump off. The third floor is actually as high as the second floor …" Zhuang Haixia interrupted, "You really want me to jump off the building? I don't want to die yet. Hurry up and save me. I'm really scared that they'll break in!" Li Rui said, "Okay, okay. I'll immediately contact the hotel manager and have them come to save you. You wait first and try to delay them."
After saying this, he hurriedly hung up the phone and called Li Xiao Yue. Coincidentally, Li Xiao Yue was on duty at the hotel today. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know who to call.
Li Rui said, "Sister Li, I won't say any more nonsense. Today, I arranged for a female reporter from CCTV to stay at the hotel. Right now, she's being threatened by a few people who claim to be public security. Hurry up and call a few security guards over to take a look. You must ensure the safety of that female reporter." Li Xiao Yue said strangely, "Public security? Room inspection? When did the hotel come to the public security for room inspection? How come I didn't know? "Li Rui sighed and said," Aiya, they must be people who pretend to be public security. Hurry up and call a few more security guards over. No matter what, you must ensure the safety of that female reporter. She's a VIP guest of the Song Shuji. Think of a way to detain those people who claim to be public security too. Don't let them go before I get there. I'll be there right now. "
After calling Li Xiao Yue, Li Rui thought of Song Chaoyang. Although it wasn't convenient to alarm him, he was staying at the hotel and had the advantage of being close to Zhuang Haixia. Informing him of this matter would make it easier for him to command on the spot. Anyway, as long as it could ensure the safety of Zhuang Haixia, there was nothing wrong with taking measures.
He called Song Chaoyang and explained the situation briefly. Song Chaoyang was shocked and said, "Someone is threatening Zhuang Haixia's safety? Okay, okay, I'll be there right away. "
Li Rui put down the phone and hurriedly put on his clothes.
Yuan Jingjing had already walked out of the bedroom and listened for a while. She more or less understood the situation and knew that he had to rush to the Qingyang Hotel as soon as possible. Although she didn't want to, she couldn't stop him. She quietly said, "It's not easy to get a taxi right now. Why don't you drive my car?" Li Rui ignored her and put on his clothes. After he was done, he walked in front of her and took her into his arms. He forcefully kissed her red cherry lips and said, "Baby, I appreciate your kindness, but your car is too eye-catching. I can't drive it. I'll take a taxi. After dealing with this matter, if I have time, I'll definitely come back to accompany you. "Yuan Jingjing faintly sighed and yawned. She said," What time will it be by the time you get back? What will you be in the mood for? Forget it, maybe another day. " Li Rui could only apologetically kiss her snow white and smooth face twice. He picked up his briefcase and hurriedly left.
"Comrade, if you don't open the door, we'll rush in!" Brother San waited for a few more minutes, but there was no movement inside. He felt that something was wrong and issued a final warning.
