This dazed state clearly indicated something was wrong. Immediately, she sent Xue Xiaoxue away. "Could you please go downstairs and reserve a private room? Just put it on my tab. I've seen an acquaintance and need to catch up. I'll join you soon."
What could be the problem with that!
Xue Xiaoxue immediately put away her phone and said gently, "Sure, I'll go right away. You should come quickly, Yaoyao. Don't keep me waiting. I'll feel so lonely without you. I'll surely be heart - broken."
"Okay, I'll be there soon." Zhu Shuangyao replied with a smile. Then the two parted ways at the staircase on the third floor.
Zhu Shuangyao quietly followed them. She turned on the phone recorder and switched the screen to the emergency dialing interface, planning to call the police immediately if anything went wrong. She heard a man with fairly regular features coaxing, "Xiaoyu, we're almost there. Just wait a little longer."
Just wait a little longer, and he could have Luo Yu under his thumb.
Right after the man finished speaking, his phone rang. He took it out, glanced at the caller ID, and immediately showed a sinister smile. "Baby, what brings you to call me today?"
Zhu Shuangyao, being close, heard every word of his call clearly.
"… Why is the baby with them… That slut Luo Yu is in my hands now. It took me so much effort to get her. What? You all want to come together? Great. It'll be more fun with five or six people… Don't worry. I've given her drugs, the latest kind. She'll surely remember nothing…"
The following words were so filthy and obscene that they were simply unbearable. Zhu Shuangyao immediately dialed the police. This was a serious matter. It was a crime.
She didn't say much. After reporting the address and briefly summarizing the whole story, she let the police listen to the man's phone call. The call lasted for more than ten minutes, filled with foul language, blood - curdling violence, and no regard for human dignity.
Fortunately, the man talked on the phone for a long time. Just as he had placed Luo Yu on the bed and before he could do anything, the police kicked open the door and arrested him on the spot. They also caught the five or six people who came later. There were both witnesses and physical evidence.
As he was being taken away, the man with regular features shouted arrogantly, "My dad is a director of this hotel! I'm the young master of the Pei family. How dare you do anything to me? I'll have my dad deal with you…"
A police officer roared, "Be quiet!"
He was so arrogant even after committing a crime. If they hadn't obtained the evidence, it would have been difficult. But now, with the phone recording, even if the rich man hired a lawyer to argue with them, couldn't they dig out more evidence from this suspect?
The man was actually a bully who feared the strong. Hearing the fierce tone of the police, he immediately shut up. But his eyes still glared angrily at the people around him, as if he wanted to devour each and every one of them.
Zhu Shuangyao called Xue Xiaoxue. "Um, Xiaoxue, I'm really sorry. I've encountered an accident here and might need to go to the hospital. You'll have to eat this meal alone. Can we have dinner together next time?"
How could she end up in a situation where she had to go to the hospital just after leaving for a while? Xue Xiaoxue asked nervously, "Are you okay? Where are you injured?"
"No, no, it's not me who's injured. A friend of mine had an accident, and I have to go to the hospital to accompany her." Zhu Shuangyao didn't want to say much. After all, no one wanted to encounter such a thing.
Xue Xiaoxue immediately took the opportunity. "Then I'll go with you. It'll be better to have one more person to take care of things."
"No, no. I've already asked someone else to come with me. Thank you, Xiaoxue. You're really a good person." Zhu Shuangyao quickly refused her. They had just met, and she couldn't accept such kindness.
Hearing Zhu Shuangyao's refusal, Xue Xiaoxue replied with a disappointed "um". After Zhu Shuangyao hung up the phone, she slowly put down her phone and secretly clenched her fist. Zhu Shuangyao didn't know her well yet, but it didn't matter. She was determined to become good friends with Zhu Shuangyao and pull her back from the wrong path!
A person who could act bravely for a just cause at a critical moment must have good character. She was determined to eliminate Zhu Shuangyao's feelings for Senior Lu Jing! Xue Xiaoxue secretly made up her mind, while Zhu Shuangyao, far away in the hospital, had no idea about this girl's decision. She was still waiting for Luo Yu to wake up.
As soon as she arrived at the hospital, Huo Qizheng called her. She had to persuade him again and again to prove that she was absolutely fine before finally dispelling her Mr. Huo's idea of coming to the hospital. He had been very busy recently, and she didn't want to cause him more trouble.
After hanging up the phone, she sat by the bedside and softly called Luo Yu's name twice, quietly waiting for her to wake up.
Luo Yu seemed to be sinking into a boundless ocean. The dark sea water surrounded her, squeezing her chest and covering her facial features. Her breathing was restricted, and she couldn't catch her breath. It was also as if she was walking on a dark road, surrounded by thick darkness. She seemed like a lonely outcast in this world.
It was as if she had returned to that helpless moment in her childhood when she could only be at the mercy of others. She couldn't raise her hands or move her legs. She could only glare at those people with hatred, her eyes almost bleeding.
"Luo Yu… Luo Yu… Wake up, wake up quickly…"
This voice… It was so familiar. Who was it? Who was calling her?
She walked in the direction of the voice. It seemed like she had walked for a very long time. Suddenly, the sky brightened up in front of her. The glaring sunlight made her close her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw the snow - white ceiling and smelled the disinfectant. She immediately realized her current situation. She should be in the hospital.
Seeing her wake up, the person beside her immediately pressed the call bell. The doctor quickly rushed over to check her body. Zhu Shuangyao asked worriedly, "Doctor, how is she?"
The doctor put down the medical record. "It's okay. The residual hallucinogens in her body have been metabolized. She can be discharged from the hospital after a few more days of observation."
Zhu Shuangyao thanked the doctor. "Thank you, doctor."
The doctor waved his hand. "You're welcome."
Then he went to the next ward.
"Zhu Shuangyao, why are you here?" Luo Yu's vision had been unclear just now. Now she could clearly see Zhu Shuangyao's figure.
After seeing the doctor off, Zhu Shuangyao sat back by her bedside. "I think I should be the one asking you this question. Why are you in City S? It's not the holiday at University C yet."
Thinking of Luo Yu's situation when she found her, she felt a bit angry. She knew that Luo Yu liked to have fun, and she had reminded her again and again to be careful. But now she still got caught. If she hadn't found out, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
She said angrily, "Do you know what happened today? You almost got… got… Forget it. You can read the police report later. I've always told you to be careful, not to be so defenseless. But why don't you listen to me?"
Luo Yu sat up. Although Zhu Shuangyao kept scolding her, she still got up to raise the head of the bed for her and pulled up the quilt. "Cover the quilt well. Don't catch a cold. You'll have to stay in the hospital for a few more days if you do."
She looked pale. Hearing Zhu Shuangyao's nagging, she showed a weak smile. "I don't have any classes these days, so I came here. Isn't Ling Yu coming back? I came here especially to see her."
Zhu Shuangyao poked the back of her hand. "Don't I know your character? Ling Yu is coming back in the summer vacation. Do you think she doesn't need to go to class? How could she come back so early? I'll tell her about this tonight. Forget it. If you don't want to say, I won't ask. Anyway, this is a lesson…"
Luo Yu interrupted her. "It's for Chongguang. I came to City S for Chongguang."
Big drops of tears fell from her eyes onto the snow - white quilt. Luo Yu looked up at Zhu Shuangyao. "At the moment when he drugged me, I saw Chongguang."
