"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan..."
Chu Lingtian subconsciously called out her name twice and quickly redialed Guo Xiaoyan's number.
However, after three consecutive attempts, only the automated voice reported: "Hello, the number you have dialed cannot be connected for the moment!"
Chu Lingtian's brows furrowed tightly, his expression anxious. He was almost certain that Guo Xiaoyan had been drugged with aphrodisiacs and the effects were starting to take hold, causing her discomfort.
Based on Guo Xiaoyan's intermittent words, she was squatting to relieve herself in the restroom, and the "big client," General Sun, kept knocking on the door from the outside, trying to force his way in.
This General Sun must also know that Guo Xiaoyan had consumed the aphrodisiac. With its effects kicking in, he was now impatient to break down the door and take advantage of Guo Xiaoyan, who was increasingly losing control of her body and emotions.
Now Guo Xiaoyan's phone was suddenly disconnected, and he couldn't get through. He wondered what had happened on her end, whether that General Sun had managed to break open the restroom door and forcibly assaulted Guo Xiaoyan...
Rumble!
Just as Chu Lingtian was anxiously reaching out to hail a taxi, the roar of a motorcycle echoed from behind him.
He turned to see the fiery policewoman Xiao Lengyue riding her police motorcycle.
"Chu Lingtian, I'm here to tell you that I, Xiao Lengyue, will never admit defeat to you. No matter how strong you are, I can make you accept it, because my father is..."
Before Xiao Lengyue could finish her threatening words to Chu Lingtian, he had already grabbed her and pulled her off the motorcycle.
"I'm borrowing your motorcycle. I'll return it to you later. And no matter who your father is, I only recognize principles, not people!"
After speaking, Chu Lingtian rode the motorcycle away.
Xiao Lengyue stamped her feet in anger and shouted, "Bastard, do you know who my father is? No one has ever dared to disregard him. You're completely out of line!"
Although Xiao Lengyue was beautiful, fiery, and strong, her upbringing and family background were indeed formidable, leading to a certain "princess complex."
This was why she was so upset after losing the bet with Chu Lingtian. She had ridden her police motorcycle after him, intending to use her father to suppress Chu Lingtian and force him to submit.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she mentioned her father, before she could even finish speaking, Chu Lingtian had pulled her off the motorcycle and retorted that he only recognized principles, not people.
"Fine! Chu Lingtian, you dare to look down on my father? Then I'll let you know who my father is and how powerful he is. I guarantee you'll be so scared you'll pee yourself on the spot!"
Chu Lingtian's words completely ignited Xiao Lengyue's princess temper. She took out her phone and dialed her father, Xiao Yuanshan.
"Hello, Dad."
As soon as the call was connected, Xiao Lengyue spoke with a wronged tone.
Meanwhile, in the Dazhang City Military Region, Xiao Yuanshan, dressed in his commander's uniform, was reprimanding a group of powerful senior officers, berating them severely and even ordering physical punishment.
Upon seeing that it was his daughter, Xiao Lengyue, calling, Xiao Yuanshan quickly walked to a secluded spot.
"My dearest daughter, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yuanshan heard that something was amiss in his daughter's voice and asked urgently.
Xiao Lengyue acted spoiled, "Dad, your daughter has been bullied. Are you going to do something about it?"
"Who bullied you? Who has such audacity to bully my precious daughter, Xiao Yuanshan?"
Xiao Yuanshan instantly became enraged, like a frenzied lion.
"It's a guy named Chu Lingtian!"
Thinking of Chu Lingtian spanking her, Xiao Lengyue was both embarrassed and furious, unable to contain her anger.
Xiao Yuanshan immediately declared with dominance and authority, "Alright, I'll send some soldiers right away to arrest this Chu Lingtian. Then, my daughter, you can deal with him however you wish!"
"No, Dad, I don't want you to use your power to arrest Chu Lingtian. I, I just want you to show up in person, shock this surnamed Chu, and make him obediently apologize to me."
Xiao Lengyue was also startled by her father, the old commander's explosive temper. She was genuinely worried that her father, in his rage, might send troops to arrest and even execute Chu Lingtian.
After all, a commander of a major military region was akin to a king guarding a territory.
In this region, any figure from either the underworld or the establishment was a trivial character before him. If he wanted to kill someone, it would be as easy as flipping his hand, and it could be done without a trace. Even if discovered, no one would dare to hold him accountable.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Today, I must make this Chu Lingtian apologize to you. Where are you now? I'll come pick you up immediately."
Xiao Yuanshan doted on Xiao Lengyue the most and always did as she said.
"I'm at the police station entrance."
Xiao Lengyue replied.
"Alright, I'll head over from the military region right away. Wait for me for ten minutes."
Xiao Yuanshan said.
"Dad, it takes at least fifteen minutes from the military region to the police station. Don't rush, be careful on your way."
Xiao Lengyue, aware of her father Xiao Yuanshan's swift and fiery temper, reminded him.
"Don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yuanshan immediately roared an order to a nearby officer, telling him to drive his private car to the police station entrance to pick up his daughter, Xiao Lengyue. He also organized a squad of armed soldiers to follow him.
Xiao Lengyue stood at the police station entrance, holding her phone in her right hand, waiting for her father Xiao Yuanshan to pick her up. At the same time, she looked in the direction Chu Lingtian had taken her police motorcycle, a smug look on her face, and confidently muttered to herself:
"Chu Lingtian, my dad is the commander of the Dazhang City Military Region. Even the mayor of the city shows him utmost respect. You, who were once a soldier and are now just a security guard, will definitely be scared out of your wits and stand at attention to salute when you see the commander of the military region. I'll see if you don't obediently apologize to me then?"
At this moment, Chu Lingtian, riding Xiao Lengyue's police motorcycle, had its siren blaring, signaling all vehicles and pedestrians to make way. He sped towards the entrance of Ronghe Restaurant, where Guo Xiaoyan was.
"Excuse me, in which private room is Baoxue Company's business banquet tonight?"
After parking the motorcycle, Chu Lingtian ran quickly to the lobby service desk and asked a beautiful waitress in a qipao.
"It's in Room 666 on the sixth floor."
The waitress, startled by Chu Lingtian's imposing presence, answered instinctively.
Chu Lingtian didn't wait for the elevator and instead sprinted up the stairs to Room 666 on the sixth floor.
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan..."
Bang!
Chu Lingtian called out anxiously and pushed open the bathroom door in Room 666. However, the bathroom was empty; Guo Xiaoyan was nowhere to be found.
