The elevator directly reached the presidential suite on the top floor.
The hotel hosting the masquerade ball was owned by the Emperor.
Everything here belonged to Xing Chen.
Of course, that included the most luxurious suite here.
When they entered, Ran Xiangsi didn’t see Xing Chen use a key or a card to get in. He just casually glanced at a small camera above the door.
Then there was a ding sound, and the door opened.
Ran Xiangsi followed him in, nodding with understanding, "So it’s an iris lock."
This kind of device relies on recognizing the iris in a person’s eye to determine whether to unlock the door. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
The iris in the pupil is as unique as a person’s fingerprint.
For someone of Xing Chen’s esteemed status, naturally, he’d use such high-tech security equipment to match his identity!
Conversely, seeing how Ran Xiangsi recognized the equipment at a glance, the admiration in Xing Chen’s eyes grew even deeper.
As soon as they entered, Xing Chen suddenly turned, placing his left hand on the back of the door, easily trapping Ran Xiangsi within!
The room’s lights were initially on. Apparently, the door switch triggered them to automatically turn on.
Taking advantage of the light, Ran Xiangsi paused for a moment, then quickly realized she had been door-blocked...
Indeed, it was her God Xing, always fond of various "blocks."
Car-block, wall-block, and now directly door-block!
"Sir, what are you trying to do?"
Ran Xiangsi raised an eyebrow, continuing to enjoy playing the mutual stranger game, finding endless fun in it.
Just as Ran Xiangsi asked this, they heard a snap, the sound of a switch sliding, and the once brightly lit room plunged into endless darkness.
Not a single thread of light could be seen.
Even Ran Xiangsi, who thought she controlled the game, found her mind seized by the sudden darkness.
Darkness is the deepest source of fear in human hearts.
Unable to see anything ahead and unaware of where she was, it was easy for someone’s heart to become flustered.
"You... what do you mean..." Her voice trembled slightly, and Ran Xiangsi bit down hard on her lip.
All the lights in the room were turned off by Xing Chen.
The switch was near the door; with a stretch of his long arm and a slight press of his index finger, there was another click, and the lights turned on again.
In an instant, the light dispelled all the darkness.
Ran Xiangsi’s suspended heart finally relaxed a bit.
She breathed a sigh of relief, looking up at the face wearing a diamond mask that was very close, her eyes filled with stubbornness.
She was a bit annoyed. Did he do it on purpose?
Seeing her almond-shaped eyes wide open, obviously with a sign of irritation, the curve on Xing Chen’s lips remained.
He leaned closer to her, his nose seemingly brushing against hers.
"I haven’t had the pleasure of your name, miss." He held onto her, like a supreme ruler, controlling everything, with the power over life and death.
Hearing his cool, pleasant, and elegant voice, Ran Xiangsi felt no appreciation, only annoyance as she questioned, "And who are you? Don’t you know the meaning of self-respect, sir?!"
It looked like he was quite a flirtation expert!
He didn’t recognize her, could it be that he treated other girls this way as well?
It really made her furious!
Ran Xiangsi didn’t realize that when she got angry, her wide almond-shaped eyes and puffing expression looked incredibly cute to Xing Chen.
There was another snap, and once again the room fell into darkness.
