If Yuan Xiao wanted to have enough time to escape, now was the best moment.
In the dimly lit room, the two figures were entangled with each other. However, it lacked the passionate intensity one might expect. Although Yuan Xiao usually appeared unremarkable, she dedicated herself to building strength by going to the gym every day.
A fruit was lodged on the bed, just grazing past the man's ear.
"Who are you?"
Although Lin was a man, years of smoking and drinking had left his body less robust than one might imagine. In the darkness, his pupils were fixed on the woman before him, trying to discern where he had seen her before.
"Enemy!"
Yuan Xiao seized the moment and swiftly targeted the hand that was reaching for his phone.
"Ah!"
A piercing scream echoed through the corridor. However, due to the hotel’s excellent soundproofing, his voice could only carry partway down the hall. Unfortunately, at that moment, there were hardly any people around—just as he had instructed.
When Lin Yuan came up from the fire escape and heard that scream, he quickly rushed upstairs and began knocking on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The heavy yet attention-grabbing sound caused Yuan Xiao to momentarily pause her actions. The man, clutching his hand in fear, darted past her.
Someone's coming!
He could be saved from this woman’s grasp!
"Open the door! Help me!"
Although the door was locked from the inside, due to the nature of service in hotels, it wasn’t easy to open unless a staff member did so from outside. Lin hadn’t anticipated that he would trip over his own feet at such a critical moment.
He banged on the door forcefully while occasionally glancing back. At that moment, Yuan Xiao stood expressionless behind him; even with someone outside, she had no intention of backing down.
These people deserve to die!
"Are you useless? Hurry up and open this door!"
A wave of panic flooded his mind. He was aware of recent incidents at the company but never imagined that trouble would find him so quickly.
Seeing that he couldn’t open the door from inside, Lin Yuan slowly stepped back a few paces.
Dodge.
Unfortunately, the person inside couldn't hear him at all.
The man leaning against the door felt an immense force coming from outside, and it was clear that it wasn't aimed at breaking the door; it was aimed at taking his life.
Bang!!!
The ten-centimeter thick door fell heavily, startling even Yuan Xiao, who was ready to take action inside.
She had known that the security measures here were excellent; once someone got in, they wouldn't be able to escape.
But the door had actually been kicked open??
As Yuan Xiao stood there in shock, Lin Yuan's figure appeared before her.
It's you?
She had thought there would be several people outside by now.
Clenching the fruit in her hand, Yuan Xiao realized that there was no way for her to escape at this moment.
The floor was too high; jumping down would only lead to death.
Lin Yuan stood at the doorway, scanning the area, and surprisingly didn't notice the man lying at the bottom of the door; he only saw Yuan Xiao.
Taking out his badge from his pocket, Lin Yuan said, "Come with me to the police station."
Caught red-handed, a bitter smile crossed Yuan Xiao's face, mingled with a hint of despair.
The sound of fruit dropping to the ground was particularly jarring, causing a flicker of joy in the eyes of the man lying on the floor.
This crazy woman actually dared to make a move against him!
He reached out to grab the fruit, thinking that what did it matter if the police were involved? He could get out in the end anyway.
But just as he extended his hand, Lin Yuan stepped on the door frame.
Ah!
His already injured hand was now pinned down, causing him to scream in pain.
At that moment, Lin Yuan noticed that someone was indeed beneath his feet and thought he was in the bathroom.
Oh, sorry about that! I didn't realize there was someone here.
While apologizing, Lin Yuan kicked the fruit away a bit further and then cuffed the man.
The sound of the broken door had attracted the attention of the staff downstairs. After a brief consultation with the manager, they came up.
When they saw the chaotic scene before them, even the hotel manager was momentarily stunned and couldn't comprehend what had happened.
Lin Yuan showed his badge to him, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
So it turned out that police officers were here to handle a case. It was our oversight not to notice an intruder. How about we send you to the police station?
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had just checked outside the door and there were no police cars at all. This person must be an undercover officer.
"Then I’ll trouble you," he said. If someone was willing to take him back, that was certainly a welcome offer.
Yuan Xiao, handcuffed, wore an expression of indifference, showing no interest in the current situation. The man who had simply bandaged his wounds glared at her fiercely. If Lin Yuan hadn't been there, he probably would have torn her apart.
When they brought both individuals back to the police station, Lin Zong wanted to go change clothes, but was refused by Lin Yuan.
Zheng Yun, still on duty, saw the two being brought in by Lin Yuan. He let the other officers take them away before asking Lin Yuan what had happened.
"Are you saying that the one who attacked was Yuan Xiao?" Zheng Yun asked, somewhat confused.
How could such a young girl possibly kill two men? Wasn't she considered a model student in the eyes of her teachers? The more someone like her had to let go of, the fewer burdens they carried inside; what remained was all the more precious.
To be honest, when Lin Yuan saw what Yuan Xiao was holding, he too felt uncertain. If this foolish girl accidentally turned her aggression toward him, he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't end up with a broken arm or leg.
Yuan Xiao likely accepted his proposal on the night Wang Zhiyan was killed. The next day, when she received news of the murder, she might not have shown much emotional response at first. However, as time passed, seeds of hatred began to take root in her heart.
As for the method of killing, you should have seen the screenshots I took of that company’s email. Yuan Xiao had an opportunity to enter that company, but only as an intern.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Lin Yuan. Even if she found some excuse to attend this gathering, it was still a private event; where did Yuan Xiao get her invitation?
Indeed, the hotel manager had no doubts about her identity. But who gave her that invitation? That remained unknown.
At this moment, although her hand had been bandaged, the irritable Lin Zong kept banging on the table in protest. Spittle nearly flew into the interrogator's face as he exclaimed, "I almost got killed! You have the time to ask me these pointless questions? Why not go ask that crazy woman instead?! Find out which mental hospital she escaped from!"
