After receiving Xiao Yajie's message, Xiao Jian and his group from the Ancient Martial World soon arrived at the hotel.
Over ten people rented the room next to Gu Chenan's and took the elevator up.
The front desk clerk was dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Why did the Xiao family head come with so many people? And they rented the room next to Mr. Gu?
What are they trying to do?
Before the front desk clerk could figure it out, another group of aggressive looking people walked into the hotel.
The leader with one eye, known as One-eyed Dragon, walked up and asked: "Hello, which room is Gu Chenan staying in?"
The front desk clerk swallowed hard looking at the suspicious yet intimidating people and said: "May I ask who you are?"
"Cut the chit chat, which room is Gu Chenan's?"
A lowly front desk clerk facing five or six professional assassins, the difference in their auras was like heaven and earth.
"I-in room 1206."
"Thanks." One-eyed Dragon took out a few large bills from his wallet, "Get me a room, 1205."
The front desk clerk swallowed and said: "I'm terribly sorry but 1205 was just rented out."
"Tsk." One-eyed Dragon clicked his tongue, "What about 1207 then?"
"It's available."
After getting the room, One-eyed Dragon's group also took the elevator up.
The front desk clerk was starting to doubt life at this point.
First it was Mr. Gu and Miss Xiao, then the Xiao family head, and now a group of suspicious people.
Just what are they trying to do today?
......
In room 1206.
Gu Chenan leaned against the bed frame with his head in his hands, while Xiao Yajie sat embarrassedly at the edge of the bed.
Last night's candlelight dinner was the first for her with Gu Chenan.
Getting a room today was also her first time.
Even her first kiss was taken by Gu Chenan.
She had many firsts with Gu Chenan in just the span of two days.
Even a seasoned veteran in romance would be moved, let alone Xiao Yajie who was completely innocent when it came to matters between men and women.
Ever since their passionate kiss last night, when she returned to the Xiao residence, her mind had been filled with scenes from their candlelight dinner and firework kiss.
This was also why she was willing to help Gu Chenan today.
Thinking that they would have no more reason to be alone together after Gu Chenan exposed the Black Owl assassins, Xiao Yajie felt somewhat down for no reason.
She secretly glanced at Gu Chenan.
The warm sunlight shone down on Gu Chenan's perfect side profile, surrounding his long eyelashes in a golden glow. His straight nose was sculpted as if by a knife, captivating her gaze.
Add to that Gu Chenan's sturdy pectorals and long legs comparable to a male model's, and Xiao Yajie was completely enthralled.
Seemingly noticing Xiao Yajie's gaze, Gu Chenan turned his head and beckoned: "Has your father arrived yet?"
Embarrassed, Xiao Yajie immediately looked away and nodded: "They're here, in room 1205."
"Got it. You can go to room 1205 first then."
"Okay." Xiao Yajie nodded and turned back before opening the door, "Be careful."
......
Soon, a black BMW drove into the hotel parking lot.
Lin Yu got out of the car, his gaze resolute as he took the elevator up.
Ding, the elevator doors opened and he strode quickly to room 1207.
"Everyone come out."
Whoosh~
The room door opened and One-eyed Dragon's group walked out bowing slightly to Lin Yu: "Mr. Lin."
Lin Yu waved his hand: "Begin the operation."
Inside the room, Gu Chenan heard the footsteps outside.
Then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Gu Chenan asked.
"Hello sir, please open the door."
The corner of Gu Chenan's mouth quirked up.
[Finally here. I was about to go find you guys myself from waiting too long.]
[Just imagining Lin Yu's true colors being exposed, I can hardly wait!]
Gu Chenan walked over and twisted the door handle.
Just then, the people outside shoved hard against the door forcing their way in.
Lin Yu looked around the room, raging: "Where's Yajie!"
Gu Chenan stretched his waist and raised a brow: "Got the job done then let her leave."
"You!"
Lin Yu froze, his expression twisting: "Good, very good. You did so well!"
Gu Chenan shrugged: "It is what it is. Haven't been at my best performance recently."
Seeing Gu Chenan still acting nonchalant, Lin Yu gritted his teeth loudly.
Suddenly, he smirked.
"Gu Chenan, you know you're about to die right?"
"Oh?" Gu Chenan raised his brows, "You know my skills. Just you?"
Lin Yu sneered arrogantly: "Since you're going to die, I'll let you in on the truth."
He glanced back at One-eyed Dragon's group and said: "These people are Black Owl's assassins, professional killers, you understand?"
"Black Owl?!" Gu Chenan feigned great shock: "You, you can actually contact Black Owl's people?"
Seeing Gu Chenan's panicked appearance, Lin Yu immediately recalled when Gu Chenan had mocked him in the past.
Suddenly feeling much better, he bragged: "No no, Gu Chenan. You guessed wrong."
"I didn't just contact Black Owl. I am one of Black Owl's men!"
"Moreover, I'm in charge of Black Owl's Suhang branch!"
"Today, your death is certain!"
Hearing this, Gu Chenan was overjoyed internally.
[Yes, keep going. Just like that.]
[Speak louder, let the people next door hear clearly.]
"What, what did you say?" Gu Chenan put on a fearful expression as he retreated repeatedly.
The corner of Lin Yu's mouth quirked up even more. He cried out cockily: "I said, I am one of Black Owl's men! And I'm in charge of Black Owl's Suhang branch!"
"Clap clap clap clap!"
"Wow, so powerful, so scary."
Gu Chenan clapped very cooperatively.
"Jumping clown!"
Lin Yu glared angrily at Gu Chenan, then waved his hand: "Go on, break his arms and legs!"
"Yes, Mr. Lin."
One-eyed Dragon's group stretched their wrists, then walked over aggressively towards Gu Chenan.
Gu Chenan smiled lightly as he tapped the wall, "Master Xiao, did you hear everything?"
"What?"
Lin Yu froze as he looked around.
"I heard it."
Just then, Xiao Jian's voice rang out from behind everyone.
Lin Yu turned back sharply. Seeing Xiao Jian's enraged expression and dozen some top masters from the Ancient Martial World behind him, his pupils instantly contracted as his face drained of color from fright.
