CHAPTER 279: CHAPTER 279 ISN’T THAT SEEKING DEATH? (CHAPTERS 278 AND 279 COMBINED)

Fangfang suddenly leaned against the door, and when everyone saw her actions, they all quieted down, and no one spoke.

For a moment, the corridor was dead silent.

A sharp scream emerged from the room, quite loud, and clearly audible outside the door.

Everyone: "..."

All the adults present knew what was happening upon hearing that sound, and some women with thinner skin blushed and moved a little further away.

Fangfang’s face turned red too, and she said to Lin Xiaoxiao, "I think I heard Zhuang Shuqing’s voice."

Upon these words, Si Nanchen’s face grew darker and darker.

He had only seen the staff escort her into the room and then left, without seeing the staff leave.

Could it be that besides Zhuang Shuqing, that staff member was still inside?

The possibility ignited a raging fire in Si Nanchen’s heart.

Unable to contain his fury, he yelled at Tan Biyang, "Where are the keys? The room cards? Are you all dead? Don’t you know to get someone to bring the keys over!"

His voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire corridor.

Tan Biyang seemed to be frightened by him, staring blankly at him, her beautiful, peach-like eyes filled with confusion.

Si Nanchen felt like he was about to explode with anger, and he yelled at Fangfang, "You, go get the staff to bring the room card."

Fangfang instinctively looked toward Tan Biyang, no, beside Tan Biyang at Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao had never seen Si Nanchen lose his temper, but she quickly recovered and nodded at Fangfang. Fangfang ran off quickly, and in less than three minutes, she returned with the room card.

After handing the room card to Si Nanchen, she hid to one side; on the surface, she seemed nervous, but inside she was more thrilled than anyone.

In the room was Zhuang Shuqing, clearly engaged in an indecent act based on the sound heard; so as soon as Si Nanchen opened the door, it would be seen how she could continue seducing men in the future.

As she was contemplating this, Si Nanchen had already opened the door.

The room was silent, as if the sound they had just heard was an illusion.

Fangfang really wanted to rush in first, but since Si Nanchen and Lin Xiaoxiao were in front, she couldn’t see the situation inside.

Soon, Lin Xiaoxiao, her face flushed, rushed out, and seeing Tan Biyang quicken her pace towards the room, Fangfang followed without thinking and entered.

Inside the room, the bed was in disarray, pieces of clothing were scattered on the floor, but no one was to be seen.

Si Nanchen’s pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the clothes on the floor. He recognized them; these were the clothes Zhuang Shuqing wore when she entered the room.

Fangfang and Tan Biyang, who were feeling completely different from Si Nanchen, were excited; with the clothes removed, Zhuang Shuqing had no chance of whitewashing herself anymore.

The sound of a door opening came from the bathroom, and a man, bare-chested, was holding a woman as he emerged from the door backward, so from Si Nanchen and the others’ angle, all they could see was the man’s back and the woman perched on his shoulder.

Fangfang, upon recognizing the face on the man’s shoulder, began to tremble uncontrollably.

It was Zhuang Shuqing!

Disbelief was written all over Fangfang’s face, but her heart was already excited to the breaking point.

Zhuang Shuqing’s arms and legs were bare, and whether she wore any clothes on her body was already irrelevant. What mattered was that the man did not have a shirt on either.

The chaos in the room, even if they had done nothing there, no one would believe if they said so.

"Shuqing! You... How could you..."

Zhuang Shuqing lifted her misty eyes to glance at her before leaning back down, resembling someone desperately in need of rest.

Fangfang’s face stiffened. What was happening?

Could there be a hidden story she hadn’t known about?

But, consumed by a rising jealousy, she didn’t give it more thought and continued: "Shuqing, how could you be here with... with another man..."

While she spoke, she heard coworkers moving towards the room upon hearing her voice, so she raised her volume even more: "Xiaoxiao just asked the waiter to bring you up, but you... what have you done to her?"

The room fell dead silent except for Fangfang’s voice.

Tan Biyang and Si Nanchen exchanged looks before swiftly glancing at Fangfang, their gazes then returning to the embracing couple.

Finally, the man moved. First, he reached for the bedsheet with his back to the crowd, wrapping the woman in his arms tightly in it. Then, carrying her, he turned around so her back was to the crowd and he faced them.

"Hiss~"

A collective gasp echoed through the room, not for any other reason but for that devilishly handsome face.

Both Fangfang and Tan Biyang were stunned as if struck by lightning, their eyes wide open staring at the man before them, while Si Nanchen looked utterly disbelieving.

It was him!

"Jin... Jinyang, why are you here?"

What Tan Biyang wanted to ask was why he was in the room with Zhuang Shuqing.

Doesn’t that mean the person doing that with Zhuang Shuqing was him?

This thought flashed through Tan Biyang’s mind, but she instantly dismissed it. Lu Jinyang had a phobia, he couldn’t stand physical contact with women, this was why Tan Biyang firmly believed that nothing had happened between them.

It was also why she wasn’t very worried when she saw Zhuang Shuqing in Lu Jinyang’s house; she was certain Lu Jinyang would not touch a woman.

However, Si Nanchen thought differently. He had seen what Lu Jinyang was capable of; merely for speaking a few words to Zhuang Shuqing, he himself was beaten half to death.

Knowing he could go to such lengths for a woman, Si Nanchen had already guessed Zhuang Shuqing’s status in his heart.

Lin Xiaoxiao, unaware of when she had entered, saw Lu Jinyang holding a woman and she widened her eyes in disbelief: "Brother Jinyang, how come you are here?"

Lu Jinyang’s expression was severely dark, his eyes, also a sheet of frosty coldness. He swept a chilling glance over everyone in the room, his voice as sharp as ice, "Who gave you the audacity to drug my woman!"

Each word landed with such force that some of the less courageous recoiled steps backward, fearing to be implicated.

Lin Xiaoxiao unconsciously shrank her body, not sure if Lu Jinyang saw her, but his gaze was tightly locked on her as he said in a deep tone:

"You tell me."

"Brother Jinyang, I... I don’t know, I only interacted with her during the stage game tonight, I had no other contact with her," she said.

After speaking, she elbowed Fangfang, who was still in shock. Fangfang quickly turned back and nodded desperately.

"Yes, boss," Fangfang suddenly remembered something and said, "I recall now! She came tonight in a luxury car. She said it was a cab that came to pick her up. We were suspicious of her..."

Fangfang stopped abruptly, realizing she had said the wrong thing.

But it was already too late.

Lu Jinyang had already looked over at her, demanding sharply, "Suspicious of her what?"

Fangfang felt like crying, but she dared not.

At this moment, she wished she was mute.

Zhuang Shuqing was in her boss’s arms, yet she wanted to say that the woman being held was kept by someone—wasn’t that practically seeking death?
