The security officers came near the room to find that Han Sheng Ming was actually comforting Zheng Mian, that was too after beating the crap out of those men.
Seeing three grown men on the floor, injured and unconscious, they were dumbfounded. They hurried over thinking that Han Sheng Ming could be injured by saving his lover but to think that he could actually defeat the three of them single-handedly and injure them to the point that they couldn't even move, it amazed them.
Han Sheng Ming saw them coming inside and instructed them, "Tie them up so that they cannot escape. Did you call the police?"
The security officer replied, "Yes, sir, we did. The police will come in fifteen minutes."
"Good," Han Sheng Ming was satisfied.
"What on earth happened here?" The hotel Manager finally came after receiving an emergency call from the security officer. In front of him were three guests, lying motionless on the floor and not less than two steps from these men was another injured guest. Seeing all these, his heart was about to drop on the floor.
"Sir, this is…" the security explained the situation.
The hotel Manager almost had a heart attack after hearing the story. He knew very well who Han Sheng Ming and Zheng Mian were. His boss Mo Yuan's best friend was Han Sheng Ming and they were here tonight for the pool party. There was no way he could offend them if he wanted to keep his job.
He quickly composed himself and turned serious as he spoke professionally to Han Sheng Ming, "We are extremely sorry for what you and your girlfriend had to go through. We will take full responsibility for this incident. We will hand over the criminals to the police and give them any further explanation they need. We promise you that we will definitely see through it to the end. Please take some rest and let us handle it."
"Fine, we will do that. But first, do you have a first aid box?" Han Sheng Ming asked.
The hotel Manager was sweating. He bowed and stated, "Oh, I'm terribly sorry for not noticing it sooner. Yes, we have. Should we call for a doctor?" He was deeply worried. If something were to happen to Han Sheng Ming and his girlfriend, then he could simply kiss goodbye to his job.
"No need. It's a minor cut. Go and bring the first aid box to my room," Han Sheng Ming ordered.
"Yes," the hotel Manager was relieved that it wasn't a deep injury. He instructed the security officer.
"What's going on here?" a voice was heard soon after the security officer left.
Han Sheng Ming lifted his eyes to see that it was actually Tang Yujin coming inside the room. He asked him back, "Why are you here?"
Tang Yujin described, "You weren't answering my calls. We were worried. Moreover, little Luo urged me to look for you. I tracked your GPS and came here. So, what happened here?" He looked around.
"We were attacked," Han Sheng Ming shortly narrated.
Zheng Mian was Han Luo's friend and they often hang around with Tang Yujin, Han Sheng Ming, and Mo Yuan. Han Sheng Ming took her reputation and pride into consideration and didn't tell his best friend the details.
Tang Yujin wasn't a child. He was smarter than what others thought he was capable of. Observing the situation, he could tell what exactly had happened, why Zheng Mian was hugging Han Sheng Ming, and why Han Sheng Ming was injured.
He nodded in understanding. "I will tell others that you are in your room resting for a while. This way, their party mood won't be ruined. Do you want me to call for a nurse or doctor?"
Han Sheng Ming shook his head. "That's not necessary. We will be in my room. After dealing with this wound, we will come back." He depended on his friend a lot knowing how reliable his friend could be.
"You go first then. I need to contact Xiao Yuan. We will handle the rest," Tang Yujin announced.
"All right," Han Sheng Ming agreed. He looked down and saw that Zheng Mian was clenching his shirt tightly. She stopped crying long before when she noticed that other people had entered the room.
That's one of the qualities he liked about her. She was always dignified and never showed her weakness to others. For some reason, he felt good that she showed her weakness in front of him and had enough trust to rely on him.
"You are hurt," Zheng Mian commented while weeping softly.
"I'm not hurt. It's nothing compared to the training I've been through," Han Sheng Ming assured her. To prove that he was stronger and tougher than he appeared, he lowered himself a bit and carried her like a princess.
Zheng Mian gasped and her hands instinctively held onto him. Her eyes were filled with surprise. She didn't expect him to carry her like this. When he was walking away with her, she simply buried her face in his shoulder without a word. She didn't wish for others to see her bewildered expression.
Han Sheng Ming simply carried her to his room. He unlocked the door, went inside, and turned on the light. The room was spacious and only had one bed in the middle of the room. He laid her down on the bed.
He squatted down on the floor and checked if there was any injury on Zheng Mian's body. He put his right hand on the left side of her neck. He examined her neck where that guy had placed the knife.
He could finally release a breath of relief when he could not see a single scratch on her fair neck. She was a model. The last thing she needed was to have a bruise or a mark on her body.
After that, he scanned her arms and legs. Watching the red bruises slowly turning purple made him frown in fury.
He dialed Tang Yujin's number and told him, "Tell the manager to send us an ice pack as well."
"Okay," Tang Yujin agreed.
After hanging up the call, Han Sheng Ming felt her touching his arm gently.
