The door, which he thought was open, was actually stuck, and Old Jia saw that the key had broken off in the lock.
"Damn it!"
Old Jia first sighed, then angrily kicked the door.
"Bang!"
The door flew open, and the few guards outside immediately rushed in.
"Turn on the lights! Turn on the lights!"
Old Jia fumbled for the switch and pressed it.
The lights came on!
But on the bed lay a person, wearing a bright red lace top and a black pencil skirt.
"Hey! Wake up, wake up! Why are you alone? Where's that guy?"
Old Jia shook her vigorously. The woman finally sat up, her eyes heavy with sleep.
"I fell asleep and don't know anything."
The woman was worldly and had been in such situations many times. As long as she denied it, they couldn't do anything to her.
Although Old Jia had sent her to stall the young man in the room, he seemed completely unfazed. Helplessly, she had to make up a story to stay, so as not to offend Old Jia or fail to stall the man.
But she never expected to fall asleep on the bed.
"Get up and stand outside the room! You two search it carefully!" someone commanded.
Old Jia followed the woman out of the room.
"Report! We've searched everywhere, and there's nothing!"
"Take them all back for questioning and to make a record!" the leader ordered.
Following orders, everyone walked towards the door in single file.
Old Jia, at the back, felt no panic at all.
As they were leaving the courtyard, Liu Sandao came in with his luggage.
"Hey! Who are you!" someone immediately asked.
"Me? Just lodging!" Liu Sandao answered crisply.
"Go on, go on, no lodging here, this place is sealed off!" the person said irritably.
Old Jia looked at Liu Sandao with confusion. He wondered, "Why is this kid not staying in his room? What's he doing out here with luggage in the middle of the night? Could it be that he knew this place would be sealed off today?"
"Alright, alright, I'm leaving!" Liu Sandao said, walking towards the door. Seeing Old Jia, he gave him a cold, mocking look.
He himself had called the authorities. For such matters, as long as they were reported, the authorities would inevitably be dispatched. As for what happened afterward, Liu Sandao didn't care, nor could he control that much.
Old Jia gave Liu Sandao an annoyed look and dejectedly walked towards the car.
Liu Sandao made a show of leaving, then hid on the side of the road, waiting for them to leave.
Bai Sixiang was still inside, and he had to rescue her.
After the courtyard fell silent, Liu Sandao sneaked in. Bai Sixiang was hidden by him under the bed in that room.
It was a large bed, hollow underneath, with a space for bedding.
Bai Sixiang wasn't discovered because she was unconscious. The searchers found a man and a woman in the room. Who would have thought there would be another person under the bed?
Qian Shumei had given her something to drink, and Bai Sixiang was dazed and knew nothing until Liu Sandao woke her up.
"Oh, my head hurts so much! Is it morning?" Bai Sixiang asked, covering her head with one hand as she opened her eyes and saw Liu Sandao.
"No, you can sleep a bit longer!" Liu Sandao said.
It was the middle of the night, not suitable for changing locations, so they might as well sleep until dawn and then make plans.
The moment he entered the room, Liu Sandao had cast a spell to disable the room's surveillance system.
"Didn't you go back to your room to sleep? How are you here? Where's Sister Mei? Where did she go?" Bai Sixiang asked a barrage of questions.
Liu Sandao had to tell her everything. He thought she would be relieved to hear what he did, but to his surprise, she only said, "Oh!"
"Alright, you sleep. We'll find another hotel at dawn," Liu Sandao said and prepared to leave.
"If I were truly your girlfriend, would you let me be in such a dangerous place?" Bai Sixiang asked, her tone calm yet serious.
Yes, this question was indeed difficult to answer. If she were a mortal, Bai Sixiang would surely be in grave danger now. Most importantly, if she were the person he cared about the most, would he let her fall into a tiger's den?
Liu Sandao fell silent. This was the biggest difference between him, an immortal, and mortals.
Immortals didn't need to consider mortal emotions and desires; they only needed to follow the laws of heaven and earth. Without these emotional ties, they naturally wouldn't understand the hearts of mortals.
However, after spending so much time together, it wasn't entirely true to say that he was completely unmoved.
"Sleep well!" With that, he quickly left the room.
Strangely, the Qilin Jade had been silent for several days since its last tremor. Liu Sandao had even asked Bai Sixiang several times, and the answer was always no.
Was the Soul Crystal not meant for him to save Qian Shumei?
Qian Shumei's little incident shouldn't have cost her her life. Moreover, a lesson for her was perhaps warranted.
Liu Sandao accidentally flipped through his Fortune Book and found that Hao Yumei's name had moved to the second page.
Instead of bestowing fortune fruits on Qian Shumei, it might be better to see if he could help Hao Yumei.
When it came to surveillance, Liu Sandao found it much more convenient to do it alone than with Bai Sixiang. When he saw Qian Shumei in Kuishou District, it had been three or four days since she was taken away.
Qian Shumei walked down the street looking haggard. As she approached the entrance of Kuishou District, she walked back a few steps.
Liu Sandao specifically scanned her surroundings and didn't find the two soul spirits following her. Could they have given up on her too?
Liu Sandao could only speculate. As part of his duty to bestow fortune fruits, regardless of a person's status, he had to bestow their rightful fortune fruits without fail.
This was because most of the fortune fruits were from his past life's merits and were not measured by his actions in this life.
Qian Shumei paced back and forth, hovering for a long time about five hundred meters from the district entrance. Sudan Novel Network.
"Damn it, damn it! With this jail time, there's no money for my son's tuition. What can I do? How can I explain to the Lin family where I've been these past few days?" Qian Shumei cursed herself and thought of a strategy.
"Yes, yes, I'll say there was something urgent back home and I had to go back. If they ask why I didn't call, I'll say my phone was broken and I hadn't had time to replace it." Qian Shumei muttered to herself, lightly hitting her left hand with her right fist, making a "pa pa" sound.
"Sister Mei, where have you been these past few days!" a voice sternly asked.
Qian Shumei froze immediately. She was all too familiar with this voice; it was Lin Jiashan.
This was precisely the time he usually went out for his morning exercises. Qian Shumei, flustered, had forgotten this.
"I... I went back..."
