Mu Yinyin was startled.
But the next second, a group of masked men in black attacked with guns.
"Be careful!"
Before Mu Yinyin could react, Fu Siye lunged towards her.
"Bang!"
They tumbled into the lounge, and Fu Siye immediately slammed the door shut. Immediately after, several voices could be heard from outside.
Without time to think, Fu Siye grabbed Mu Yinyin's hand and ran, his voice stern, "These people are after both of us."
Mu Yinyin's expression was grave. Who would cause such a commotion at the Suka Hotel?
Could it be the person behind Lu Shan?
Or was it a staged act by the Suka Hotel staff?
Before she could ponder further, a cold shout erupted from outside: "Blow the door open!"
Mu Yinyin's face darkened. The current situation allowed no room for hesitation.
"Bang!"
With a deafening sound, the door was blown to pieces. The blast wave sent Mu Yinyin and Fu Siye flying.
However, Fu Siye's grip on Mu Yinyin's hand did not loosen.
He even shielded her with his own body.
"Ugh—"
The door panel, thrown back by the blast, slammed heavily onto his back. The impact made Fu Siye involuntarily groan.
Mu Yinyin instinctively grabbed Fu Siye's shoulder, "Fu Siye, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, let's go!" Fu Siye gritted his teeth and stood up, pulling Mu Yinyin's hand.
Mu Yinyin's expression became incredibly complicated, but she couldn't afford to dwell on it now.
Just as they left, a large group of armed men stormed into the room. The leader, seeing no one around, gave a gesture—
"Search the place!"
...
Fu Siye and Mu Yinyin had now reached the balcony. As they were on the second floor, below was a large lawn, with a tree nearby.
Without a second thought, Mu Yinyin and Fu Siye exchanged a glance and then grabbed onto branches, jumping down from the balcony.
The moment three people rushed onto the balcony, Mu Yinyin and Fu Siye had already hidden behind the wall, with Fu Siye's hand shielding Mu Yinyin.
At that moment, Mu Yinyin could already smell the pervasive scent of blood in the air.
"We can get in here!"
Mu Yinyin discovered that the window behind them could be opened. But as they climbed through the window, they found themselves in a restroom. Just as Fu Siye's face darkened, voices could be heard:
"Niannian's Elysian Feast is all about participation. When can we be as awesome as today's champions, with handsome escorts by our side?"
"Sigh! We can only dream. Even if we find someone decent-looking, we won't find anyone as wealthy and well-off as them!"
It was women's voices. This was the women's restroom!
Mu Yinyin yanked Fu Siye and quickly ducked into a stall.
In the cramped space, Mu Yinyin noticed the ferocity in Fu Siye's eyes, but she couldn't afford to care. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Qi Mo:
—Mu Yinyin: [Qi Mo, I'm in the women's restroom downstairs from the lounge. Fu Siye and I are being chased. Can you come and help me?]
Watching Mu Yinyin's fingers fly across the phone screen, Fu Siye's face turned as dark as it could possibly get.
But as they were in the women's restroom, any sound from him would definitely get him labeled as a pervert!
Just then, conversation could be heard from not far away:
"Boss, there are bloodstains on this wall. Have they entered the women's restroom? Should we go in..."
"Slap!"
A loud smack.
Followed by an angry reprimand: "Useless! Are you crazy to barge into the women's restroom now? Don't forget our mission. That woman must not survive! Let's go, keep a close eye on her tonight."
Mu Yinyin heard these words too.
'That woman' referred to her.
And in the restroom, the flushing sounds and the voices of the two women speaking earlier had also abruptly stopped.
It was clear that the conversation had startled them.
Mu Yinyin and Fu Siye exchanged a look.
After the footsteps faded away, Fu Siye finally spoke in a low voice, "Am I someone like that in your eyes?"
"You didn't even consider our three years of marriage. If it's not you, then who is it?" Mu Yinyin retorted coldly, quickly averting her gaze from Fu Siye.
Despite the extremely unpleasant environment, Fu Siye managed to suppress his anger and impatience.
He didn't know if the people outside had withdrawn. If they went out now, Mu Yinyin would be their easy target!
"On my end..."
Mu Yinyin didn't wait for Fu Siye to finish. She stared at her phone screen, as it had just vibrated.
Qi Mo's reply came:
—Qi Mo: [I'm bringing people to pick you up.]
Fu Siye noticed Mu Yinyin's intense focus on her phone screen.
When trouble struck, she hadn't thought of him, the person beside her, but had immediately contacted Qi Mo. In her heart, Qi Mo held the primary position.
"Mu Yinyin, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was movement at the door.
Then, Amy's voice tentatively called out, "Miss Mu?"
Mu Yinyin recognized her voice and reached out to push Fu Siye aside, but then she remembered the strong scent of blood she had smelled earlier.
She withdrew her hand.
"Qi Mo and Amy are coming. Let's go."
Mu Yinyin continued to speak in a low voice.
Although no further sounds could be heard, it was better to be cautious.
Fu Siye said nothing, but the intense gaze in his dark eyes conveyed everything.
The next second, Amy's voice rang out again, "Miss Mu, are you there? Brother Qi told me to come in."
Qi Mo's text message also popped up:
—Qi Mo: [I've asked Amy to go in and get you. I'm waiting outside with people. She has clothes with her. Change into them.]
After reading it, Mu Yinyin put away her phone.
She looked up and nodded at Fu Siye.
For them now, Qi Mo was the greatest help.
Fu Siye knew this well, but a surge of irritation welled up in his chest.
Pulling open the stall door, Mu Yinyin immediately saw Amy not far away, holding a paper tote bag. Amy was not wearing a mask, her curly hair a cascade, and the dress she wore today made her look as noble as a princess. Especially when Amy looked at her, there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Amy also noticed Fu Siye behind Mu Yinyin. As she handed the tote bag to Mu Yinyin, she coolly threw a sentence at her: "I've never seen anyone like you."
Mu Yinyin understood Amy's words as a mockery directed at her, and also as dissatisfaction towards Qi Mo.
Mu Yinyin said nothing, maintaining a calm expression on her face.
