Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Sorry, no one can leave now
“I’m sorry, Mr. Shi, but no one can leave the hotel now!”
Shi Mufeng, accompanied by Rong Weiwei, had left the private room and reached the elevator, ready to go to the underground garage to get his car, when several security guards suddenly blocked them at the elevator.
“Get out of the way!”
“You can’t leave here for the time being.” The security guard blocking their way made no motion to step aside and repeated firmly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Shi. We are just following orders, please don’t make this difficult for us, okay?”
“What do you mean? Do you want me to call your superiors to make you move aside?” It was the first time he had been stopped , and his handsome face turned quite ugly.
Rong Weiwei by his side also looked displeased. Gone was her triumphant posture she had in confronting Qi Yue before leaving the private room; her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she spoke softly, “What’s going on? Why are we suddenly not allowed to leave? The hotel doesn’t have the authority to keep us here, does it?”
The security recognized her identity, but no one treated her differently because she was a popular actress; they still blocked them with the same expression, “A VIP guest is missing from our hotel. Until that guest is found, no one can leave.”
Rong Weiwei felt her heart skip a beat.
“Move it!” Shi Mufeng took out his phone, ready to reach out to his connections.
But the security personnel directly stated, “Mr. Shi, this is an order from Mr. Li of the Li Group. Our hotel’s owner is already on his way here. If you wish to leave, you can speak to our owner, and have them relay it to Mr. Li.”
Four words, yet they were like an insurmountable mountain pressing down on Shi Mufeng and Rong Weiwei, suffocating them in an instant.
If Rong Weiwei was harboring any hope that the commotion outside was unrelated to Rong Yan, she now felt completely unsettled.
Her heartbeat also began to thud faster.
She subconsciously turned to look at Shi Mufeng, “Mufeng…”
When he heard the name Li Shengxiao, Shi Mufeng’s face darkened. He gripped the phone he had been about to use to call for help, sparing her not even a glance as he firmly said, “If we can’t leave for now, then we won’t leave. I want to see exactly why they’re keeping everyone here!”
Li Shengxiao’s actions were far too arrogant. Jinxiu Hotel was a five-star establishment, home to many guests and host to numerous dinner parties. With just one word, he locked down all the exits, unconcerned about drawing too much attention and perhaps one day leading to his own downfall!
He strode over to a sofa set aside for rest, looking gloomy. Even if Rong Weiwei wished she could sprout wings and leave right then, she had no choice but to follow closely behind him.
After all, if even Shi Mufeng of his prestigious background could not leave, her chance of leaving as his girlfriend was even less likely!
She sat down, burdened by heavy thoughts, her eyes flickering constantly.
At this time, those few people should be getting to the heart of the matter, with Li Shengxiao’s arrival. Good, let’s watch a big show of 1 versus 3. After that, will he still want that wretched girl?
If she could just get through this once, she wouldn’t have to fear Rong Yan ever again…
She must endure, she had to keep her cool!
Rong Weiwei slowly clenched the metal chain of her platinum bag in her hand, gradually regaining control of her expression, returning to her usual beautiful and gentle appearance. No one would suspect that beneath such a delicate exterior lay a soul so fierce.
