She didn't know if her sister had deliberately turned off her phone or if it had run out of battery; a series of unpleasant images flashed through her mind.

Schimerlin squatted by the flower bed, quietly wiping away tears with worry and helplessness.

As it approached 10 o'clock, the receptionist who had been watching her advised her to go home early, saying it wasn't safe to stay outside for too long.

But Shimmerling was unwilling to leave; she would rather die than wait for her sister.

At 10:30, a man in a suit and tie accompanied several distinguished hotel guests out.

The receptionist bowed in greeting, and luxury cars quickly pulled up to the entrance, one after another picking up the passengers and taking them away.

Finally, only a young woman came over, and she and the man exchanged a few pleasantries in front of the car.

Schimerlin quietly moved closer, his deep eyes noticing the name tag on the man's left breast, the same one worn by the receptionist.

She immediately realized that this person must be the hotel manager, and she hurriedly ran over and grabbed his arm.

This action not only startled the man, but also slightly stunned the aloof woman beside him.

"Uncle, could you please let me in to find my sister? Her name is Shu Xiangyu, and she's very beautiful. She's drunk, and I can't reach her. I'm afraid something might have happened to her. Please, please let me in to find her, please..."

Schimerlin pleaded with him, his eyes brimming with tears.

The receptionist hurriedly grabbed her shoulder, trying to drag her away, fearing that the manager would get angry about it and implicate him.

"I told you, your sister isn't here, why can't you understand..."

But Schimerlin gripped the manager's hand with unusual strength, and no matter how hard the receptionist tried, she couldn't move her.

"Mr. Mei, I'm so sorry to have disturbed your mood. Please get in the car first."

Ignoring Schimerlin's pleas and without reprimanding him, the manager remained calm and first apologized to the guest.

The woman stared at Shimmering with a leisurely air, not in a hurry to leave.

"President Mei..."

Seeing that she didn't move, but instead looked at the unreasonable girl with curiosity, he thought he had offended her, so he immediately shook off Xi Molin's hand and said coldly, "Little girl, if you do this again, I will call the police."

"I'm not afraid of the police, I just want to find my sister!"

Schimerlin showed no fear, his youthful, rosy face displaying unwavering determination.

The manager yelled at the receptionist, "What are you still doing? Get her out of here right now!"

Just as the receptionist was about to make her move, Xi Molin slipped past them like an eel to the hotel entrance. As she prepared to force her way in, the woman turned around and suddenly said, "I know where your sister is..."

These words struck Schimerlin like a thunderbolt.

She turned around hastily, looking at her with anxious and deep eyes: "Really... do you know where my sister is?"

The woman smiled faintly, her eyes still cold: "Of course, I've been dining at the same table with her every evening..."

"Then where is she now?"

This unexpected good news truly surprised and delighted her.

The woman didn't give her the answer she wanted. Instead, she asked, "If I tell you, I'll surely offend others. What do you have to offer in return...?"

Xi Molin understood what she meant and immediately handed her the bag and the cell phone in his pocket: "This contains all the money I've saved, a total of 35,650 yuan... and the cell phone, which should be worth a few hundred yuan."

The woman looked at her like she was a new and interesting toy: "What if I don't want money..."

"What do you need? I can do any kind of work, no matter how dirty. I also know taekwondo and boxing. As long as I have it, I'll give it to you."

Schimerling was somewhat disappointed. This woman clearly didn't lack money, but these were the only valuable and useful things she had.

Knows Taekwondo and boxing…

The woman slowly approached her, her indifferent expression gradually turning playful, as if trying to see another person through her: "Let's go, I'll take you up first. As for the exchange terms, I'll tell you after I've thought them through."

Then, under the surprised gazes of the receptionist and manager, the two walked into the hotel together.

The manager, realizing what was happening, quickly followed.

The three of them took the elevator directly to the 25th floor of the hotel.

At this moment, Schimerlin was so nervous that she could almost hear her own heart pounding, and her hands were already covered in sweat.

The woman calmly led her to the door of room 2508.

"Manager, please just open the door."

"This...is not good."

The manager was in a dilemma; if the guests started making a scene, he wouldn't know how to handle the situation.

The woman possessed a powerful aura, her gaze deep and unfathomable. She said calmly, "It's alright, I'll take responsibility if anything happens..."

The manager didn't want to offend her, so he took a card out of his pocket and placed it on the sensor under the doorknob. With a beep, the door opened.

Schimerling opened the door and went in as quickly as possible. Several small lights were on in the luxurious room, and the sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom, indicating that someone was taking a shower.

Only when she saw her sister sleeping soundly on the bed, her clothes intact, did her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settle down.

Thankfully, she's alright!

Luckily, we arrived in time!

Fortunately!

"Sister, sister..."

She picked up Shu Xiangyu, who reeked of alcohol, and cradled her flushed, burning face in her cool hands, her eyes filled with heartache and pity.

Shu Xiangyu was already completely drunk and unconscious; it seemed he must have drunk quite a bit tonight.

Upon hearing the noise, the person showering in the bathroom immediately turned off the bathroom heater, wrapped a towel around their waist, and came out. It turned out to be an older-looking, short, slightly overweight, balding middle-aged man.

He glanced at the people appearing at the door and by the bed. Always experienced, he didn't immediately reprimand them. Instead, with a smile in his eyes, he asked, "I wonder what President Mei means by this…?"

The woman frowned slightly, looked up, and said, "Someone else's younger sister is looking for her older sister; I'm just doing a good deed."

"You...you know I'm interested in her tonight, why did you bring people to spoil my fun?"

The man turned his back, lowered his voice, and looked at the woman, his politeness gradually turning into dissatisfaction.

The woman didn't seem to care, coldly saying, "I don't quite understand Director Yuan's interest, but you might have to sleep alone in that big bed tonight..."

The two were talking at the door, and Shimmering had already put his coat on his sister.

The phone on the bedside table was indeed deliberately turned off. She put it in her pocket, then effortlessly carried her on her back and walked behind the man.

"Step aside!"

Just moments ago, the girl downstairs seemed delicate and fragile, but now she was like a completely different person, full of energy and exuding an aura that was both intimidating and unshakeable.

This change piqued the interest of women.

The man turned to look at her, chuckled, and said disdainfully, "Little girl, your sister needs my help. If you take her away, she won't get a chance to see the real show..."

Shermling held her sister's legs tightly, and if her gaze could kill, the man before her would have long since ceased to exist.

She was already suppressing her urge to beat him up: "I don't care if it's a good show or not. If you dare to touch her again, I'll fight you to the death and make you pay the price."

As a well-known director in the entertainment industry, the man had seen too much of the world. How could he easily be afraid of such a weak, insignificant, and naive young girl's threats?

"Hmph, you're quite arrogant... Do you think I, Yuan Qin, am easily intimidated?"

His arrogant attitude indicated that he would not stop there, after all, a girl like Shu Xiangyu, who was both beautiful and naive, was the most vulnerable and easily bullied.

Just give her a little sweetness, and she'll want to be by his side every day, showering him with attention.

“I know…you all look down on us, but so what? Do you think I care? My whole family was brutally murdered. No matter when or where, I will never be afraid to fight anyone again. I can give up my studies, my job, my future. Even if I go to jail, once I get out, I will find a way to haunt you and make you pay with my life until I die…”

These sharp and ruthless words truly surprised everyone present.

She may seem like just an ordinary high school student, but her eyes hold something deeper than most adults, which is the source of her confidence to say such harsh things.

The woman beside her crossed her arms, her previously playful gaze now turning somewhat profound. She didn't quite understand whether this young girl, who was willing to risk her life to protect her sister, was really worth it.

"You...you're a fucking lunatic! You think I'm afraid of you...?"

Although Yuan Tai was greedy and lustful, he valued his life immensely. He had encountered many threats and humiliations, but this was the first time he had ever met one so direct and so reckless.

At this moment, the seventeen-year-old Schimerin completely shed the innocence and naivety he displayed in public.

She had witnessed her beloved mother slowly pass away before her eyes, and the profound despair she felt was something she could never forget. She had no one to talk to, no one to share her burden.

Later, she spent a whole year in the orphanage. Her heart, which had been cherished by her family, gradually developed into a sharp arrow and thick armor, making her realize that only by becoming strong herself could she resist the endless malice from the outside world.

Even when facing the Shu family, who now treat her like family, she never showed the slightest indifference.

She can bestow kindness and friendliness upon the Shu family and friends, but she can also unleash evil and darkness to devour all those with ill intentions.

After her battle with Lu Xiyi, she knew that her crushing defeat was due to her weakness and incompetence.

Over the years, she has not only studied harder but also practiced diligently, participated in various competitions, accumulated experience, and constantly honed herself, all so that she would no longer be bullied in the future.

Standing at the same height as Yuan Tai, she fearlessly took two steps forward, her eyebrows slightly raised, her cold and resolute gaze fixed on him. A wicked sneer curled at the corner of her lips: "I am a madwoman. I'm not afraid to tell you, I've already died once. The one standing in front of you now is a living ghost. I'm not afraid to eat flesh and suck blood..."

She, a living ghost, was only able to slowly return to human form thanks to the selfless care and concern of the Shu family.
