290: Chapter 290: The Body in the Wardrobe 290: Chapter 290: The Body in the Wardrobe Hong Kong, Hill Hotel.
“Really tired, been on the plane for so long, and then this happened.” After taking a bath, An Lan wrapped herself in a bathrobe and lay comfortably on the bed.
Originally, Wu Yu arranged two single rooms for Su Qingyu and An Lan, but Su Qingyu changed it to a double room for easier work-related communication.
“Get up and work.” Su Qingyu gave An Lan a cold look and piled a stack of documents on the desk.
“Ah, let me rest a bit.” An Lan complained.
“Stop fussing, get to it.”
“Alright, fine, but let me put away the luggage first.” An Lan pouted and reluctantly said, opening their suitcases to put the clothes in the wardrobe.
“Qingyu, how confident are you about this time?” An Lan asked while folding clothes.
“Fifty percent confident.” Su Qingyu held up five fingers and waved at An Lan.
“Uh, that’s as good as saying nothing.” An Lan made a face, after folding some clothes, carried them in her hands, and walked toward the wardrobe.
“Thud, thud, thud.” Just as An Lan was about to open the wardrobe, she faintly heard a knocking sound, looking around, but there was no movement.
“Thud, thud.” The soft knocking sounded again, An Lan listened carefully, the knocking seemed to be coming from inside the wardrobe.
An Lan pressed her ear against the wardrobe door, listening intently.
It really was the sound from inside the wardrobe, An Lan clearly heard the knocking, the sound was dull and rhythmic, as if something was inside, and instinctively, An Lan opened the wardrobe, witnessing an extremely horrifying scene.
“Aah!” An Lan rapidly stepped backward, then sat down on the floor, pointing at the wardrobe, trembling uncontrollably, unable to speak.
“An Lan, what’s wrong with you?” Su Qingyu heard the scream, immediately stood up and quickly came over, helping An Lan to stand.
“What happened?” Su Qingyu patted An Lan’s back and looked in the direction of her pointing hand…
“Miss Su, Miss An, what happened?” Hearing the scream, Wu Yu with two bodyguards burst into the room, Wu Yu immediately helped them up, then looked inside the wardrobe, his heart skipping a beat, in front of them hung a female corpse, head dangling from a rope connected to the wooden panel above, it was a hanged woman.
The two bodyguards shielded Su Qingyu and An Lan behind them, Wu Yu regained his composure, stepped forward, and inspected carefully before he sighed in relief and dumped the so-called corpse on the ground.
“Miss Su, Miss An, don’t worry, this is not a corpse, it’s just a human-shaped doll.” Wu Yu discovered, the face of the body did not resemble human skin but more like silicone, then he looked at the eyes, it was clearly a doll, but it looked so human-like and long fake hair covering the face that made the two women think it was a real corpse.
“What, a doll?” Su Qingyu and An Lan, already scared to tears, when they heard it was a doll, they relaxed but felt somewhat embarrassed and angry about such a thing being there.
Wu Yu walked to the wardrobe, inspected it carefully, there was a spring inside that kept the “corpse” moving back and forth.
When it hit the wardrobe door, it made the “thud, thud, thud” knocking sound.
On seeing this, Wu Yu was furious, immediately called the hotel manager and staff, while also comforting Su Qingyu and An Lan’s emotions, it’s really troubles never come alone, first it was hoodlums blocking the convoy, now a prank, Wu Yu increasingly felt someone was purposely behind this.
“Manager Yu, you explain to me, what exactly is going on here.” Wu Yu slapped the trembling suited man in front of him, sending him falling to the ground.
Wu, I truly didn’t know this would happen.” The suited man knelt down immediately, of course, he knew Wu Yu’s status, upsetting him meant the hotel couldn’t continue running.
“And you guys,” Wu Yu pointed at several staff members.
With the Wu Family heir’s power, getting a few people fired was too easy.
Wu, since it’s just a prank, let it be,” Su Qingyu didn’t want to make a big deal and hoped Wu Yu would let it go.
“Hmph, go away now.” Wu Yu held back his anger, waved his hand, and his bodyguards directly escorted the manager out.
Miss Su.” Several people thanked her repeatedly, relieved by Su Qingyu’s forgiveness.
After they left, Wu Yu quickly apologized to Su Qingyu.
“I’m really sorry, Miss Su, I truly didn’t expect such an oversight in the hotel, rest assured, with just a call from me, they can be gone.” Wu Yu’s frustration beneath his anger was evident, considering if Su Qingyu left because of this, he would be losing face in the Wu Family.
He meant to entertain them well, but such an incident erupted.
“Forget it, this is not Mr.
Wu’s fault, you don’t have to worry, I’ll definitely continue with the cooperation.” Su Qingyu understood Wu Yu’s intentions and also did not want to give up this negotiation opportunity with the Wu Family; regardless of what happened, she would endure it.
“That’s really good to hear, Miss Su and Miss An, if you need anything at all, feel free to call me.” Wu Yu finally took a calming pill, his major worry dismissed as long as Su Qingyu didn’t leave, everything else was negotiable.
“You four, stay outside the door, protect Miss Su and Miss An, do not leave their side,” Wu Yu instructed his four bodyguards.
“Yes.” The bodyguards responded and only then did Wu Yu feel relieved.
Wu, don’t you think, this thing was intentionally placed here?” Su Qingyu, recovering from the initial shock, recalling the hoodlums blocking the convoy, harbored some doubts.
At that moment, Su Qingyu remembered the note under the scare bomb, her back chilled.
“Give up the cooperation with the Wu Family, this is just a warning, next time it will be real.”
Could all these be done by the intimidator?
Doubts rose in Su Qingyu’s heart, but with the assurance from Wu Yu, she felt reassured.
After these two incidents, Wu Yu protected Su Qingyu and her companions even more securely.
“Miss Su, rest assured, today’s incident, I definitely…”
“Aah!” Wu Yu hadn’t finished speaking when a scream interrupted him; the people in the room immediately reacted, the scream came from the neighboring room.
