The phone was in his pocket, perfectly fine. How could someone be coming to deliver a phone to him?
After the receptionist finished speaking, Zhan Bei Jue thought she had made a mistake. "Are you sure it's for me?"
Zhan Bei Jue was so handsome, and he brought two such adorable children; he was impossible to mistake.
The receptionist nodded very confidently. "It's you, Mr. Zhan."
"She came to ask for your room number, saying she wanted to send the phone up to you. But for the privacy of our guests, I didn't tell her. If it angered your friend, please forgive us."
He hadn't brought any friends, he hadn't lost his phone, and he didn't need anyone to send him a phone.
Zhan Bei Jue immediately sensed something was amiss.
He ordered the receptionist to pull up the surveillance footage for him.
The receptionist, only now realizing something was wrong, quickly found the lobby manager and took Zhan Bei Jue to view the footage.
However, it was unfortunate.
The surveillance footage showed a fair-skinned, beautiful woman.
But Zhan Bei Jue didn't recognize her.
Every year, countless women inexplicably wanted to appear before him, pretending to run into him by chance or finding various excuses to get close to him.
He couldn't recall this person at all.
The two children also felt uneasy.
"Daddy, why don't you call Mommy and ask her where she is? Why hasn't she come back after being gone for so long?"
Jiang Nan Fang's phone was in the locker in the changing room.
He called once, no answer. He called a second time, still no answer.
Zhan Bei Jue quickly pulled the two children up and quickened their pace.
"Let's go, we'll go find her."
The temperature in the sauna room was getting hotter and hotter.
Jiang Nan Fang, barefoot, found the floor so hot she could barely stand.
She quickly scanned the room's layout and, using her professional knowledge, identified the wiring hidden behind the wall.
To lower the temperature, either cutting the power or opening the door were the only two options.
The door was too thick to be broken down quickly, so she decided to cut the power first.
But the room was high, and she didn't have any suitable tools. How could she do it?
She searched the room again. Fortunately, she found an iron hook for prying stones hanging in the corner.
The iron hook was about as long as an arm.
As everyone knows, iron is a conductor of electricity.
Trying to cut the power with it was undoubtedly suicidal.
Moreover, after being in the stuffy room for so long, the carbon monoxide levels were so high. If she cut the power without ventilating the room first to let out the carbon monoxide, it would inevitably explode.
So, after much thought, the first thing she needed to do was break the glass on the door.
To ventilate the room.
The temperature rose again, and sweat droplets the size of soybeans dripped down.
Jiang Nan Fang moved the wooden stool near the wall to her feet, grabbed the iron hook, and began to smash the glass.
After smashing it a few times, the glass finally cracked.
She forcefully pushed it outwards. Thank goodness, a few shards of glass fell down, and the room finally had ventilation.
It was at this moment that she suddenly came up with a new method.
The iron hook was conductive and couldn't be used to destroy the circuits, but the wooden stool could.
Especially dry wood, which was non-conductive, although it would take some effort to dismantle.
Was it difficult to dismantle something?
Jiang Nan Fang got down from the stool and tried to lift it. Fortunately, she could.
Aiming at the area with the wiring layout, she forcefully lifted the wooden stool upwards.
With a "clang," the wooden stool hit the wall, peeling off a layer of plaster.
With a loud thud, the stool fell from the wall again and broke one of its legs.
All the service staff had been kindly given leave by the owner to go out and buy ice cream.
Only Huo Dong Ning and her cousin were in the shop.
Hearing the gurgling sounds from the sauna room, the two exchanged a smile.
"It's been half an hour. Even if it's boiling a frog in warm water, the frog would have started struggling by now."
"Jiang Nan Fang must be like an ant on a hot pan now, terrified. When we go in later, she'll definitely be on her knees begging for mercy."
"Heh. That dead woman, she's finally gotten her comeuppance!"
Smashing it once had an effect.
Jiang Nan Fang quickly picked up the stool again and smashed it against the wall again.
Gurgling and repeating this several times, the wall peeled away, and the wiring was finally exposed.
The two sisters were still calculating how many minutes it would take before they went in to see her begging for mercy.
However, amidst a series of loud noises, there was a sudden "bang," and a burnt smell came from the room.
Immediately, the light overhead went out, plunging the entire massage parlor into darkness.
"What's going on? Why did the power suddenly go out?"
Along with the power outage, the crackling sounds from inside also stopped.
The two exchanged glances again and immediately became flustered.
"Is it that woman Jiang Nan Fang? Did she mess up the wiring for us?"
"She's looking for death! Damaging my property, let's go in and see!"
The two went to the door. Huo Dong Ning was so focused on the door that she almost stepped on the broken glass.
Her cousin pulled her. "Be careful. Look at the floor, she smashed the glass."
Could this woman, who could smash glass from such a height, be smashing walls like a mad bull?
"Crazy lunatic. Acting presumptuously on my turf, let's see how I deal with her! Open the door!"
Huo Dong Ning signaled her cousin to open the door.
The wires on the wall were still emitting white smoke and sparks.
Jiang Nan Fang knew this was the prelude to a fire.
The carbon monoxide concentration in the room was still high, and there was a risk of combustion at any moment. She was anxious.
The door hadn't been opened yet. If the room caught fire before the door was opened, wouldn't she be burned alive?
Just as she gritted her teeth and prepared to smash the door, she heard voices outside.
Jiang Nan Fang's hair stood on end, and she quickly hid behind the door with the iron rod.
A moment later, a dark figure pushed the door open and entered.
Without a word, Jiang Nan Fang swung the rod at the back of the person's head.
"Ah!" A woman's brief scream was heard, and she immediately collapsed on the floor, losing consciousness.
Jiang Nan Fang quickly pulled the door open and poked her head out to look.
Huo Dong Ning, standing at the door, hadn't expected this turn of events. Seeing her cousin fall, her face instantly turned pale.
Their eyes met.
One with exquisite makeup, the other disheveled like a drowned rat.
But their facial expressions were the complete opposite.
Huo Dong Ning's delicate face was filled with surprise and terror, while Jiang Nan Fang's face, washed clean, was full of anger and dominance.
Upon seeing Huo Dong Ning standing outside the door, Jiang Nan Fang instantly understood everything.
"Huo Dong Ning, it was you!"
"You arranged all of this today, deliberately tricking me into coming here. You want to kill me, don't you?"
A gust of cold wind blew in, and the temperature in the room instantly dropped significantly.
A large amount of carbon monoxide dispersed, finally eliminating the risk of explosion.
The sparks on the wall wires slowly died down.
Huo Dong Ning took a step back with a flustered expression, still trying to act.
"Nan Fang, what are you doing here? What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"I just came in for a massage and happened to hear the commotion here, so I came to take a look."
"What happened to you? Why do you look like this? Do you need me to help you?"
