"Fang Miaomiao, Fang Miaomiao," Shen Jiani watched Fang Miaomiao about to be surrounded by the three men, a twisted smile spreading across her face. "Just enjoy this."
Fang Miaomiao's gaze fell. These three were burly and powerful. Forget three, she couldn't even handle one of them.
All she could do now was stall for time. Once the water in the bathroom reached an abnormal level, the hotel staff would come up to check the anomaly.
Yes, the wealthy elite feared injury or assassination the most. To effectively mitigate this situation, the October Hotel had implemented a safety measure.
If someone in a room felt they were being secretly followed, they could turn the water flow to its maximum. The staff responsible for water management at the October Hotel would then be dispatched to investigate.
"Little beauty, be good, or don't blame us for being rough."
"No, no, it's fine if you're not obedient. Compared to being submissive, I prefer you like a wild cat. Otherwise, it's no fun," the relatively shorter man said with a lecherous grin, his eyes shamelessly appraising Fang Miaomiao from head to toe.
...
"Master Wen," Xin Xuanlai said with a grave expression, "I haven't seen Madam on the second floor."
Wen Zhiyan's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Where's the driver?"
He had been delayed at the October Hotel due to some unforeseen matters. However, it had been five minutes since he arrived, and he still hadn't seen Miaomiao. This made him increasingly uneasy.
"I've already sent people to check the parking lot."
As he finished speaking, Xin Xuanlai's phone rang.
Upon hearing the words from the other end of the line, Xin Xuanlai's brow furrowed deeply. "Master Wen, the driver was ambushed and has been sent to the hospital."
"Find them," Wen Zhiyan's heart grew more panicked. "They can't have gone far."
"Boss, the surveillance room reports that all cameras are down. The water department has detected abnormal water flow in room 306 on the third floor."
Wen Zhiyan's eyes darkened. "Xin Xuanlai, have the October Hotel security surround the entire hotel. Block all exits on the third floor and don't let anyone leave."
Xin Xuanlai started to speak, but upon meeting Wen Zhiyan's cold, murderous gaze, he immediately fell silent. "Yes, I'll give the orders now."
"Send someone to invite Mr. and Mrs. Fang and Miss Fang up."
"Yes."
Xin Xuanlai placed a dark mask on the table, bowed, and exited the room. "I'll have them brought up now."
Three minutes later.
"Master Wen, the door to the third floor has been locked from the inside."
Wen Zhiyan's eyes flickered. His long, slender, fair fingers picked up the mask and put it on. "Break down the door and storm in."
...
"Damn it, this bitch dared to smash my head with a cup," the short man clutched his bleeding forehead and glared fiercely at the fallen Fang Miaomiao. "If I don't finish you today, I'll take your surname."
Shen Jiani, standing behind them with a camera, said impatiently, "Can you guys hurry up? Three grown men can't handle one woman? What a bunch of losers."
"Damn it, Third Bro, step back, let me handle this," a man with buck teeth couldn't stand it any longer. He pulled away the short man who was holding his forehead. "Useless. You can't even take down one woman. You need to see how I do it."
With that, the buck-toothed man strode forward, snatched the cup from Fang Miaomiao's hand, and yanked it hard.
Fang Miaomiao, losing her balance, stumbled to the ground. The fruit knife behind her also fell to the floor.
"Boss, this stinky bitch has a fruit knife. She wants to hurt us."
The buck-toothed man also saw the fruit knife on the ground. "Stinky bitch, you want to hurt me? You want to play rough, huh? I'll give it to you."
With that, the buck-toothed man picked up the fruit knife from the ground and walked towards Fang Miaomiao.
"This fruit knife, I was using it to peel fruit, do you believe me?" Fang Miaomiao moved her slightly injured hand and forced a smile as she looked at the buck-toothed man.
"What do you think?" The buck-toothed man played with the small knife in his hand. "Little girl, I'll teach you how to play with a knife."
Saying that, the buck-toothed man changed the direction of the knife and mercilessly plunged it into Fang Miaomiao's fair arm.
Fang Miaomiao gasped. The pain in her wrist brought tears to her eyes.
"Oh, you have good endurance, little girl," the buck-toothed man sneered, twisting the fruit knife stuck in Fang Miaomiao's hand.
Fang Miaomiao could no longer hold back, letting out a low scream.
"Can you guys hurry it up?"
Seeing that they still hadn't gotten to the main event, Shen Jiani urged them anxiously.
"Boss, if you injure her like this, how are we supposed to play?"
"What are you afraid of?" The buck-toothed man pulled out the fruit knife and glanced indifferently at Fang Miaomiao, who was clutching her wrist. "Just tie her up with her clothes."
With that, the buck-toothed man took off his short-sleeved shirt, intending to tie Fang Miaomiao's hands.
Fang Miaomiao struggled with all her might. Her eyes sharpened, and she bit down hard on the buck-toothed man's arm.
"Damn it, you crazy bitch, how dare you bite me!" The buck-toothed man howled and, breaking free, slapped Fang Miaomiao across the face several times.
Fang Miaomiao's hair was a mess from the slaps, her cheeks red with stinging handprints, and her head felt groggy.
"Yes, that's right," Shen Jiani watched Fang Miaomiao's disheveled state, a pathological madness appearing in her eyes. "Hit her hard, beat this vixen to death!"
Fang Miaomiao, seizing the moment when the buck-toothed man was momentarily relaxed, pushed him away with all her strength and snatched back the fruit knife, evading his attack.
Shen Jiani, seeing Fang Miaomiao still had the strength to struggle, frowned. Just as she was about to speak, the short man interjected, "We three are in a very bad mood right now. If you say one more word, don't blame us for playing with you too."
Although unwilling, she knew she was no match for these three. She could only grit her teeth and remain silent.
"You stinky bitch, you're quite capable, aren't you?" The buck-toothed man twisted his wrist, which throbbed with a dull ache. He had sprained it accidentally when that woman pushed him away earlier.
"What you're doing is illegal," Fang Miaomiao, holding the fruit knife, stared warily at the three large men surrounding her. "When someone comes, none of you four will escape."
Her only thought now was to stall for time. The longer she could hold out, the safer she would be.
"The door outside on the third floor is locked. You're just a minor celebrity full of scandals. Who do you think will come looking for you?"
"Minor celebrity?" Fang Miaomiao, enduring the pain in her body, forced herself to stay calm. "What, did Shen Jiani not tell you who you were dealing with when she hired you to bully me? My real identity?"
"Indeed, if she had told you, you wouldn't have dared to come up."
The buck-toothed man cast a meaningful glance at Shen Jiani standing by the door. His expression turned grim. "What do you mean by that?"
"This is the October Hotel, under the Wen Corporation," Fang Miaomiao leaned against the wall, making herself appear relaxed and unafraid. "I am a member of the Wen family. Do you think you can safely leave the October Hotel after bullying a member of the Wen family?"
