I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Upon learning that Gu Yuzhu was missing, everyone panicked and gathered in the hotel lobby to prepare to evacuate.

Just when everything was ready, the stars retreated and thunder and lightning raged. Suddenly, heavy rain fell from the sky at night. The rain formed a curtain of water that poured down from the sky. The remaining pear blossoms in the courtyard were beaten to pieces, and all the plants dared not look up.

The lobby was completely silent, and the crackling rainstorm brought people's fear to the extreme.

The manager hung up the phone, hurried into the crowd, bowed and apologized to everyone.

"The thunderstorm just now damaged a nearby signal tower. I'm afraid it won't be repaired until the rain stops tomorrow. The weather is terrible, and there are large lakes and hillsides nearby. The water level will rise in less than half an hour. It's too dangerous to drive out now. Please wait until the rain stops tomorrow before leaving."

"Then how long are we going to wait? There are kidnappers in the hotel now. If we don't go back, are we going to stay here and get killed?"

"I don't care. I'm leaving now. No one can stop me."

"Yes! We need to leave now!"

These noble ladies are pampered at home, and when they encounter something like kidnapping, they feel like the sky is falling and they all lose their composure.

Lan Dai saw that the situation was not good and tried to appease them. "Don't worry, everyone. What's the situation with the kidnappers now? How many people are there? We don't know. Don't panic. The weather is abnormal, and driving will only make things worse..."

"Shut up!" The girl who was friends with Yu Sheng pushed Lan Dai. "This hotel is owned by your family. Now that something like this has happened, you still have the nerve to ask us to calm down?"

"That's right. You still won't let us go after such a big incident. Are you in cahoots with those kidnappers?"

This gathering was led by the Gu family, but now that Gu Yuzhu was arrested, everyone naturally transferred all their anger to Lan Dai.

Lan Dai knew that her status was not enough to incur public anger, so she bit her lip and looked at Su Yun, hoping that she could speak up for her.

Su Yun hesitated for a moment and chose to remain silent.

After what happened to Zhao Tang, her understanding of friends has been overturned. She only makes friends for profit and never opens her heart to others.

The hotel manager was from the Lan family. Seeing their eldest daughter being wronged, he quickly spoke up for her. "Please rest assured, everyone. Our hotel has a security system. As long as we can get through tonight safely, and wait until the rain subsides tomorrow, everyone can leave safely."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Shen Lanxi and Zhou Yanheng, "Please believe that our hotel will definitely find a way to ensure everyone's safety."

Zhou Yanheng said, "Heavy rain means keeping guests. Manager Hu has said so, so let's wait another night."

After hearing this, the girls looked terrified.

"Brother Heng, do you really want to stay? What if the kidnappers continue to do evil?"

"Brother Heng, can we go to your yard tonight?"

Zhou Yanheng brought six boys with him this time. They were all students of the Military and Political Academy. The girls felt that it was safer to join him and they all took the initiative to beg him.

"Okay." Zhou Yanheng smiled, seeming very humane.

Su Yun's eyes dimmed slightly. Only she knew how evil the man in front of her was. After thinking for a moment, she mustered up the courage to look at Shen Lanxi, "Shen Lanxi, can I go to your place?"

Shen Lanxi raised her eyes and her cold gaze fell on Su Yun.

Others called him Young Master Shen, but Su Yun called him by his name.

Without waiting for Shen Lanxi to answer, Yu Sheng immediately took over the conversation, "With so many of us, I'm afraid Young Master Zhou won't be able to take care of everything. For safety reasons, the girls should split up and stay on both sides. What do you think?"

As she spoke, she first glanced at Shen Guiling before turning to ask Shen Lanxi for her opinion.

"Okay. That's a good idea."

The girls responded one after another, and compared to Su Yun, Yu Sheng's level was immediately apparent.

Jiang Huashan sat in the corner of the sofa, observing everyone's reactions without saying a word.

"Master."

At this time, Gao Zhi, wearing a black windbreaker, strode into the crowd. His whole body was wet with rain, and his eyes were as murderous as a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

"The signal was not interrupted by lightning, but was deliberately destroyed by someone."

When these words were spoken, the girls trembled with fear.

The manager was also confused, "How is that possible?"

"Go on." Shen Lanxi looked calm, as if she had already anticipated this result.

Gao Zhi said, "The rain is too heavy, and the nearby mountains are over-cultivated and unstable, making them very prone to landslides. In addition, the water level of the surrounding lakes has now exceeded the roadbed, making it even more dangerous to return to the port now."

Shen Lanxi glanced at Manager Hu and it seemed that the manager was not lying.

"What should we do? The kidnappers deliberately destroyed the signal because they don't want us to call the police."

"How could the signal room be destroyed so easily? It must be someone in the hotel colluding with the kidnappers."

Everyone was completely panicked and talked endlessly.

"Hey, hey!" Guan He stood up and gestured for silence. "Complaining won't solve the problem now. I think our focus should be on getting through this night safely. After all, no one knows who the kidnappers' next target will be."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point again, and the timid girls burst into tears.

Are you sick if you are deliberately creating panic at this time?

Jiang Huashan looked at Guan He with contempt, and when she turned around, she happened to meet Zhou Yanheng's eyes.

Zhou Yanheng smiled faintly. He thought Jiang Huashan would roll her eyes at him and ignore him as usual, but she acted contrary to her usual behavior. She stared at him with a fierce look in her eyes. Her eyebrows were very attractive, like hooks that could draw out the evil thoughts in his heart.

"..."

Just as Jiang Huashan was watching intently, Shen Qingyu grabbed her ponytail without even raising his eyelids. Jiang Huashan hissed, and Shen Qingyu turned his face to the side, saying lazily and fiercely, "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Huashan glared at him, "Look at you idiot."

Shen Qingyu laughed and let go of her hand, "Don't look."

Lan Dai watched the interaction in the corner of the sofa silently, feeling indescribable. How could they still have the mind to play when there was such a panic here?

Guan He turned to look at Zhou Yanheng after he finished speaking, "Heng, isn't that right?"

Zhou Yanheng glanced at Shen Qingyu coldly before continuing, "No one wants this to happen. Those who are willing to trust me can follow me, and those who are not willing can make their own choice."

Yu Sheng and Su Yun immediately turned to look at Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi said calmly, "For safety reasons, you may have to squeeze in a little tonight."

If he ignores the crisis faced by everyone at this time, it will damage the reputation of the Shen family. Shen Lanxi just doesn't like to weigh the pros and cons, but it doesn't mean he won't do it.

There was a strong wind and thunder, and the rain showed no sign of stopping. The girls were worried and went back to the hotel on their own.

Shen Lanxi placed everyone in the main hall, leaving Shen Guiling to look after them, while she took Shen Qingyu and Gao Zhi to the entertainment room next door to discuss matters.

Yu Sheng took in the situation and knew Shen Lanxi must have noticed something, but she was dealing with it privately to avoid causing panic. She turned around and saw Shen Guiling in the corner, and her emotions were a little complicated.

Such a big thing happened, but Shen Guiling didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just obeyed Shen Lanxi's arrangements.

It seemed like it had always been like this. Whenever Shen Lanxi was around, Shen Guiling would hide her brilliance and make way for the Crown Prince. Even her father had praised Shen Guiling as a genius more than once, but he had also regretted more than once that he was just an illegitimate child.

It is obvious that your talent is not inferior to anyone else's, but you have to curl up in the corner and depend on others.

Yu Sheng thought for a moment, then took the initiative to approach and greet him, "Is your injury feeling better?"
