Lin Mu and the Fierce Beast Brothers took a taxi from the airport and quickly headed towards the Xiangtan Grand Hotel. Once there, Lin Mu hurriedly ran into the hotel lobby!

"Hello, miss. Could you tell me where Zhou Xun and Xia Yuyi are staying? I'm a friend of theirs!" Lin Mu asked.

"Sir, please wait a moment. I'll check for you!" the receptionist said, and then added, "Hello, they are in room 28 on the sixth floor!"

"Thank you!" Lin Mu said, and then quickly got into the elevator with the Fierce Beast Brothers.

The elevator swiftly reached the sixth floor, and Lin Mu had an increasingly bad feeling. As soon as the elevator doors opened, he rushed out!

Lin Mu knocked on the door of room 28, "Xiaoxun, Yuyi!"

He knocked several times, but there was no response from inside. Lin Mu pressed his ear to the door. With his hearing, even the slightest sound from inside the room would be audible to him, and sure enough, he detected a faint noise. Although the sound was extremely subtle, Lin Mu was certain someone was inside!

"Xiaoxun!" Lin Mu knocked on the door again.

But there was still no movement inside. He was sure someone was in there but remained motionless, so he concluded they were restrained. Fortunately, this iron door posed no threat to Lin Mu. He grasped the door handle with force, applied inner strength of the sixth level, and let out a low growl, "Open!"

The next second, the lock responded, and Lin Mu forced it open with his strong wrist. He opened a crack in the door and slipped inside effortlessly. As soon as he entered the room, Lin Mu saw a group of people huddled by the sofa!

More precisely, it was Nanny Yu, Xie Tingfeng, and several other celebrities and bodyguards. They were all tied up, hands and feet bound, with their mouths gagged. However, Lin Mu quickly noticed that everyone was there, but two people were missing: Xia Yuyi and Zhou Xun, the two beautiful ladies were not present!

Lin Mu stepped forward and, along with the Fierce Beast Brothers, untied the ropes binding them. "Director Yu, where are Xiaoxun and the others?"

Nanny Yu gasped heavily, "They... they were kidnapped!"

"When did this happen?" Lin Mu asked.

"An hour ago!"

"Did they leave any message?"

"No, but it seemed they weren't Huaxia people, they were Americans!" Nanny Yu replied.

"Americans?" Lin Mu murmured to himself, realizing that Yang Litong indeed had help from the United States.

The current situation of Zhou Xun and Xia Yuyi was unknown, and Lin Mu dared not delay. If anything happened to the two ladies, Lin Mu would never be at peace.

Lin Mu ran downstairs and went straight to the front desk, "Hello, may I trouble you to let me see the surveillance room?"

"Sorry, sir, non-hotel staff cannot freely access the surveillance room!" the receptionist replied.

"Miss, the thing is, a friend of mine is missing. I'd like to take a look. Could you make an exception?" Lin Mu urgently requested.

"Sir, I'm really sorry. The hotel has its rules, and we can't make decisions on our own!" the receptionist explained. "However, you could ask our lobby manager!"

The receptionist pointed to a middle-aged man in a suit standing not far away in the lobby!

Without thinking, Lin Mu took out a stack of cash from his wallet and quietly slipped the money into the lobby manager's hand. "Hello, my friend is missing in the hotel. Could you make an exception and let me check the surveillance room? I'll be quick!"

The lobby manager glanced at the money in his hand, then at Lin Mu, and did not refuse. "Ah Hua, take this gentleman to the surveillance room!" the lobby manager instructed a security guard at the door!

The security guard came over, nodded to Lin Mu, who thanked him, and followed the guard to the surveillance room. To avoid trouble, Lin Mu exemplified the excellent tradition of the Huaxia people, taking out two hundred-yuan notes, handing one to Ah Hua, the security guard who escorted him, and another to the guard managing the surveillance room. Both guards happily accepted the money, treating Lin Mu with enthusiasm!

"Please, security brothers, help me bring up the surveillance from the sixth-floor corridor to the lobby and then to the parking lot from an hour ago!" Lin Mu requested.

"Alright, please wait a moment!"

The security guard manipulated the mouse on the computer, and soon the image of the sixth-floor corridor appeared. At first, there was no activity in the video, but after a while, several burly men appeared, each about two meters tall, with extraordinary agility!

Lin Mu observed, noting there were six men in total. Two men first entered Zhou Xun and Xia Yuyi's room, four went in, with two casually standing guard at the door, while other guests occasionally passed by! Five minutes later, the four men inside came out!

One of them appeared somewhat disheveled, with an injured arm, but it was not serious—likely inflicted during Xia Yuyi's resistance! The four men then moved to Nanny Yu's room, quickly threatening her to enter Zhou Xun's room!

In this manner, several times in succession, Nanny Yu, Xie Tingfeng, Fan Ruobing, and other celebrities were all brought into Zhou Xun's room!

About ten minutes after entering Zhou Xun's room, a few black men emerged!

Surrounded were Zhou Xun and Xia Yuyi!

Thus, under the encirclement of six black-clad men, Xia Yuyi and Zhou Xun appeared coerced as they followed them into the elevator!

At the lobby, the six men confidently led Zhou Xun and Xia Yuyi out, with people passing by, but no one seemed to notice!

After all, six towering black men surrounding two petite women like Xia Yuyi and Zhou Xun didn't attract attention!

Moreover, in such a large hotel, no one considered such an occurrence!

After all, to ordinary citizens, this type of scenario seemed to only exist in movies, far removed from reality, because they simply hadn't encountered this side of the world!

The six black men quickly proceeded to the parking lot!

In the parking lot, they got into a business van!

What caught Lin Mu's attention was that the vehicle's license plate was still attached!

Evidently, these men hadn't thought of removing the license plate!

Lin Mu took out his phone and quickly contacted Qi Manlin!

After all, he had no official status here, making it inconvenient to mobilize traffic police to investigate, and they wouldn't be persuaded by just anything. But Qi Manlin, as the director of the Wancheng East City, would find it much easier to arrange things and ease the process! Huaxia society emphasized connections; with connections, things go smoothly, green lights all the way. Without connections, it's hard to make any progress!

After briefly explaining the situation to Qi Manlin, Lin Mu hung up the phone, and Qi Manlin immediately contacted the Xiangnan police!
