Only after the noise outside subsided did Su Ran sit up on the bed, feeling utterly exhausted.
About half an hour passed before her tense emotions relaxed.
Suddenly, a rumble of thunder sounded outside, silver lightning streaked across the sky, and a torrential downpour began in an instant.
Su Ran was startled. Her panicked expression was reflected in the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling windows. She stood up, hurriedly drew the curtains, and climbed onto the bed like a madwoman, pulling the covers over herself, as if only in this way could she absolve herself of the crime she had committed.
As she huddled under the covers, shivering, she was startled by a knock on the door. Her hair stood on end. She threw back the covers and saw thunder rumbling outside. Although the light above her was on, it still made her feel a little eerie.
The knocking on the door continued.
Then the person kicked even harder.
Su Ran asked tremblingly, “Who is that?”
“It’s me! Open the door.”
Su Ran was taken aback when she heard Yuan Feng’s voice.
Shouldn’t Yuan Feng have run off with Jiang Leyi by now?
Why was he still showing up at her room door?
She got out of bed and ran to open the door without even putting on her shoes.
Yuan Feng swooped in, grabbing Su Ran’s neck with all his might, his eyes bloodshot.
“Where’s Jiang Leyi? Didn’t you tell me? Where did you hide her? Where’s she?”
Su Ran was so stunned by his words that she ignored the force of his grip.
“You, what are you talking about? Wasn’t Jiang Leyi taken away by your people…in a big suitcase?”
“It wasn’t me!” Yuan Feng roared furiously.
He shoved Su Ran away and grabbed her shoulders, demanding urgently, “Who took Jiang Leyi? Who?”
Su Ran had no idea that another group of people was also eyeing Jiang Leyi. She instantly panicked and was at a loss.
“Then, what should we do… I thought it was your people who took her away. A group of riders wearing food delivery uniforms pulled a big suitcase and took Jiang Leyi away… What should we do? Will she die?”
If she falls into Yuan Feng’s hands and becomes a blood donation machine, her life won’t be in danger. But if she is taken away by someone else, Jiang Leyi’s fate will be different.
“Which direction did they go?”
Su Ran shook her head blankly, “I don’t know…”
“How long did they take?”
“Half an hour…”
“They haven’t even left Hong Kong yet.” Yuan Feng said firmly.
“I’ll go after them now. Maybe I can find her.”
He looked at Su Ran coldly, “If I can’t find Jiang Leyi, you know what will happen to you!”
It’s nothing more than letting her become a blood supply machine.
Su Ran clenched her fists tightly.
If that day ever came, she would go find Zhou Yanbai.
She was reluctant to ask him for help often because she always had to pay a price for it.
Take the Yuan Feng issue, for example. She didn’t want to ask Zhou Yanbai for help, nor did she want to take any risks. What if Yuan Feng was threatened and then decided to release the news at all costs?
Su Ran watched Yuan Feng’s figure disappear before she feebly closed the door. The tension from the night before caused her stomach to cramp again.
She poured some warm water and took a few pills, which took a few minutes to ease.
Forget it.
Su Ran wouldn’t regret what she had already done. She even hoped that Jiang Leyi would disappear, otherwise, if Jiang Leyi came back and exposed what she had done, it would be enough to make her suffer. She might even face criminal charges. That would mean she would be completely cut off from the entertainment industry.
She climbed into bed and forced herself to sleep.
When she woke, everything would be fine.
