knife from the sole of her shoe. Her eyes flickered back and forth for several seconds before she ultimately reinserted the knife. She realized that it was still hard for her to go through with it; ye...Chapter 1316: A Sudden Cry for Help in the Hotel

With someone arranging a hotel, Xia Tian wouldn't refuse. He quickly left the scene with Yè Yùmèi and headed to the five-star Moonfall Lake Grand Hotel that Hú Feifei had booked for them. From its name alone, one could tell it was quite close to Moonfall Lake.

However, while being near Moonfall Lake was convenient, it meant they were a bit far from the police station. Initially, Hú Feifei wanted to book Xia Tian a hotel near the police station, but there weren't any good hotels nearby. Compared to those options, the Moonfall Lake Hotel was the nearest five-star hotel.

Xia Tian was quite satisfied with this hotel, and even Yè Yùmèi seemed pleased with its location. The reason for their satisfaction was simple: it was relatively close to Holy Mountain. What upset Yè Yùmèi was that she had to share a room with Xia Tian once again; Hú Feifei even booked them what was called a honeymoon suite, clearly treating her as Xia Tian's woman in the eyes of others.

Hú Feifei also checked into this hotel and stayed on the same floor as Xia Tian. She wasn't an investigating officer to begin with, so she came here to take care of him; naturally, it made sense for her to stay closer to him. If Xia Tian was willing, she even hoped they could share a room.

Unfortunately, Xia Tian seemed uninterested in Hú Feifei. Although many would see the pretty policewoman as a worthy conquest, in Xia Tian's eyes, there was too much of a gap between her and his police officer sister, Lěng Bīngbīng. The only thing he felt when seeing Hú Feifei was that he missed Lěng Bīngbīng even more.

Taking a look around the room, Xia Tian quickly went downstairs to the first-floor restaurant, which was the hotel's buffet. Having not eaten all day, Xia Tian naturally had no qualms about digging in; the phrase "wolfing down" didn't even capture how voraciously he ate—more like a whirlwind sweeping away everything in its path.

Hu Feifei and Ye Yumei, who were eating with him, had various expressions. Hu Feifei looked somewhat dazed, while Ye Yumei wore an expression of disdain. This little hoodlum has no manners at all; a commoner is just that—eating like this is so vulgar!

Ye Yumei was also eating, and she had to admit that her demeanor remained elegant and ladylike even as she ate. She had clearly adapted to the food of this world long ago since she had been here for twenty years. Although most of those years were spent in Song Family Mansion in Beijing, she had left several times. Even though she maintained a disdainful attitude towards this world, she was unknowingly starting to integrate herself into it; however, Ye Yumei wouldn't admit that.

Xia Tian's appetite made the hotel staff give strange looks as they watched him eat. Did he really want to eat his way out of room charges But those charges were genuinely expensive—over a thousand yuan for one night. It would be hard to eat enough at this buffet to offset them. After all, despite being a five-star luxury hotel, the quality of the food served wasn't very high; it was barely enough to fill guests up.

Ten minutes later, Ye Yumei finally couldn't stand sitting with Xia Tian anymore and moved to another table—she felt that eating with him was too humiliating.

Another ten minutes passed before Hu Feifei also gave in and went to sit next to Ye Yumei. In her view, treating Ye Yumei well mattered just as much.

The restaurant staff will collapse in ten minutes; there are no more dishes to add.

"The buffet here is really not good!" Xia Tian looked at the dozens of empty plates that had been completely emptied and sighed.

A few waiters nearly choked, indeed the buffet here wasn't great, but how could it be this guy who ate everything that had the right to say so If it was no good, why did he eat so much

"Let's go, back to room for some sleep." Xia Tian finally got up and walked out of the restaurant. The waiters sighed in relief as they looked at the time, which wasn't even nine o'clock yet. In theory, the buffet should continue for another half an hour, but now they were worried. They started praying that no more guests would come to eat dinner; otherwise, if there was nothing left to serve, it wouldn’t look good.

Hu Feifei, who had planned to invite Xia Tian to a meal during these days, also made up her mind immediately. When she returned to the room later on, she definitely would find the best place for a buffet in Yue Nan City; otherwise, one meal might bankrupt her. Although it should be reimbursable according to regulations, if she claimed reimbursement for tens of thousands or even more per meal, people would inevitably suspect that she was embezzling.

While Xia Tian was waiting for the elevator, an adjacent elevator opened and two men and a woman walked out. The tall, muscular men were closely following a girl in her twenties. At first glance, these two seemed to be bodyguards of the girl, but upon closer observation, it appeared that they were more like surveillance guards.

The moment the girl came out, her eyes scanned around as if searching for something. When she spotted Hu Feifei in police uniform, her eyes sparkled and it seemed like she wanted to say something, but then she remembered something and bit back what was about to come out.

The two tall men glared at the girl with somewhat menacing looks, as if warning her off. One of them muttered under his breath, "Hurry up and leave! Don’t look around!"

Actually dressed in a very sexy and alluring outfit, she was quite eye-catching. However, now there was evident distress on her face. But then suddenly she saw Xia Tian next to Hu Feifei, confusion appeared first in her eyes, followed by surprise. Then came joy beyond expectation. She immediately shouted out loud, "Xia Tian! Help me! Save me!"

Before the girl could finish shouting, her mouth was covered and the two strong men grabbed her shoulders to drag her outside of the hotel. Although she struggled fiercely, it was clear that she couldn’t match their strength so all her efforts were in vain.

To Xia Tian’s surprise, the hotel security guards ignored the cries for help as if they hadn’t heard them at all and didn’t seem concerned about it. Other hotel staff and guests also just stared with surprised looks but remained silent. It was obvious that nobody wanted to get involved.

"Stop!" A sharp cry rang out, it turned out to be Hu Feifei who had spoken up first as a police officer, she immediately sensed something amiss at the sight of what was happening. When hearing someone shout Xia Tian’s name, she realized that the girl must know him and felt even more compelled to intervene, so while shouting, she hurriedly ran after them.

But those two men didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. Instantly, they dragged the girl out of the hotel's front door and tried to put her into a car that had been waiting right at the entrance.

"Mind your own business!" One of the men shouted back at Hu Feifei as she chased after them.

“Let go of the girl! I’m a police officer!” Hu Feifei shouted. She didn’t know what relationship this girl had with Xia Tian, but since they knew each other, there must be some kind of connection. Moreover, though she wouldn't say that she was very principled as a policewoman, seeing another girl being kidnapped into a car by two men, she just couldn't walk away.

However, the two tall men paid no attention to Hu Feifei’s shouts. They had already put the girl in the car and followed her inside, closing the door behind them. The car started moving as soon as they got in. There was nobody from the hotel willing to help either.

But just a few meters away from the entrance, the car suddenly stopped. Hu Feifei’s first reaction was shock, but then she felt relieved. She was shocked because Xia Tian was standing right in front of the car and she feared that he might be hit by it; however, her relief stemmed from seeing that not only had Xia Tian avoided being injured, but he had actually blocked the car with his hand!

She saw Xia Tian’s right hand resting casually on the hood of the car. But despite the driver continuously pressing down on the accelerator pedal, the car couldn’t move forward even a bit.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, Xia Tian suddenly slapped the hood of the car with his left hand. The hood dented instantly, and the car abruptly turned off. Clearly, this slap from Xia Tian had directly damaged the car.

"How amazing!" Although Hu Feifei had seen Xia Tian's lightness kung fu once before, she still couldn't imagine that such tremendous power was concealed in his seemingly ordinary palm.

"Bullying ordinary people doesn’t count as skill." A cold voice sounded beside Hu Feifei; it turned out that Ye Yumei had come out without them noticing and was standing right next to Hu Feifei.

Hu Feifei gave an awkward smile but didn't say anything. She merely thought to herself, These two seem to be in a disagreement.

"All of you get down here!" Xia Tian shouted at this moment; he still couldn’t remember who the girl was. However, since she knew him and called for his help, he should probably offer some assistance—she might be one of his wives' cousins or something.

Before Xia Tian could speak further, a tall man had already opened the back door and rushed towards him.physique, no one would have imagined that he knew martial arts. This person also didn’t believe he was so unlucky as to encounter two people who knew martial arts. Martial artists were rare these days...
