Chapter 226: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 226: Conflict
Ao Zhao quickly apologized and tried to clean the wine stains from the trench coat guy's clothes. However, due to his rush, he accidentally spilled more red wine on the guy's outfit with the bottle in his hand.
The trench coat guy's expression changed slightly, and he forcefully pushed Ao Zhao away, saying, "What are you doing? Is this intentional?"
"I'm sorry, sir. It's my first time doing room service, and I'm a bit clumsy. I sincerely apologize for the trouble I've caused. I'll take your clothes to the dry cleaner!"
Ao Zhao moved closer to continue cleaning the trench coat guy's clothes. Although the trench coat guy was much stronger physically, Ao Zhao persisted. In the midst of this chaos, Jiang Chenchen seized the opportunity created by him, rolling out from under the meal cart cover and quickly hiding under the bed.
The speed of her actions left Ao Zhao bewildered; he barely had time to react before she disappeared from his sight.
Before he could contemplate the situation, the trench coat guy forcefully pushed him, almost causing him to fall.
"What are you doing here? No need to clean my clothes. Just go!"
"But, sir, let me bring another bottle of wine for you! I'm really sorry!"
"No need. Just leave. Leave the half bottle of wine here."
The trench coat guy's tone was unfriendly.
Knowing that he had no reason to stay, Ao Zhao left, pushing the meal cart.
The trench coat guy forcefully closed the door.
During this time, Jiang Chenchen remained hidden under the bed, observing the situation outside. All she could see were feet, and she watched as the trench coat guy entered, took off his coat, tossed it aside, and sat down to eat. He ate quickly.
While she waited for the moment when his food might cause issues, she heard him answer a phone call. He responded with simple "hmms" and then fell silent.
The entire room suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Chenchen couldn't see his expression, but she could sense the gaze staring in her direction. Could it be that he had discovered her?
Her thoughts paused as she saw him stand up and walk toward her.
Suddenly, Jiang Chenchen understood that this room must also have surveillance cameras! The scene just now must have been observed by his accomplice.
The phone call he received was likely a warning!
In other words, he had an accomplice, and that accomplice was in another room!
The trench coat guy's steps stopped by the bed, and Jiang Chenchen held her breath, preparing for what might come. Indeed, he bent down to look under the bed.
The black felt hat almost fell off due to his lowered position, but he managed to catch it.
Then, those sharp, dark eyes fell into Jiang Chenchen's line of sight.
In this critical moment, Jiang Chenchen swung a punch at his face.
Almost as if she had aimed precisely, the punch was fast and fierce. The trench coat guy hadn't expected her sudden attack, and one of his eyes took the hit!
His eye stung, and his balance was disrupted, causing him to stumble backward. However, with a robust physique, he quickly regained his composure.
At the same time, he reached out to grab the hidden person under the bed, intending to pull her out forcefully!
However, after delivering the punch, Jiang Chenchen was prepared. She rolled sideways, emerging from under the bed.
Given the narrow space under the bed, it wasn't suitable for maneuvering. Since she had already been exposed, she decided to confront him openly!
The trench coat guy was large and agile. He wouldn't be afraid of a woman, but upon seeing her face and her decisive action, his expression changed slightly.
"It's you. What are you doing hiding here?"
"I have something to confirm."
"What?"
The trench coat guy's voice became rougher, and his eyes emitted a cold light, ready to subdue her at any moment.

Jiang Chenchen watched him warily. "Yesterday, I clearly heard some noise in the bathroom. Still, when I went in, I didn't see anything. Why is that?"
"I already told the guards. I don't want to repeat myself."
"But aren't you lying?"
The trench coat guy grew irritated. "So what if I am? What do you think?"
"I don't know, but let me take a look at this," Jiang Chenchen said as she approached the location of the suitcase. However, before she could grab it, the trench coat guy pounced on her.
His large and agile physique, coupled with powerful punches, aimed directly at Jiang Chenchen's head. If she hadn't reacted quickly to evade the blow, she would have been knocked senseless. Dodging the attack, she delivered a swift punch to his abdomen!
The trench coat guy retreated in time, and after several confrontations, the effects of the drug began to take hold! The trench coat guy's body paused, and he crouched down in pain, clutching his stomach.
Taking advantage of this moment, Jiang Chenchen grabbed the suitcase. It felt heavy. Stepping back a bit, she immediately opened it and found it filled with money!
Her actions changed the trench coat guy's expression dramatically. Enduring the pain in his abdomen, he rushed to snatch the suitcase. Jiang Chenchen closed the suitcase and retreated, suspecting that this was the money exchanged after their so-called transaction.
Although the suitcase was filled with money, a faint smell of blood emanated from it. Did this indicate that it had previously contained something sinister?
With the trench coat guy charging at her, Jiang Chenchen dodged his attack while countering. In the end, she kicked him away. Despite his large stature, her kick was forceful enough to make him recoil. In the interval of his pain, she rushed towards the door and left!
Ao Zhao, who was outside the door, listened to the commotion inside. In the short time it took him to make a phone call, he saw her rush out, shouting, "Run!"
He abandoned the meal cart and joined her in the escape.
The trench coat guy chased after them, enduring the pain, his face turning iron blue. As they approached the elevator, he reached out to grab the closing doors!
Ao Zhao was scared stiff, momentarily forgetting what to do. However, he knew he had to protect the girl, after all, he was a man!
But the girl he thought he needed to protect suddenly pulled out a knife from somewhere and stabbed it fiercely at the trench coat guy's fingers that were grabbing the elevator door!
The tip of the knife cut across his fingers, causing him to instinctively retract his hand. Blood droplets flicked off his skin. With no obstacles blocking the elevator doors, they closed.
The trench coat guy stared at the descending elevator in frustration, sweating profusely.
In his desperation, he glanced at Jiang Chenchen, who had a knife in her hand, and asked, "Did you just injure him? Aren't you afraid? What's in the suitcase?"
As if realizing it suddenly, he asked, "Is this money?"
Jiang Chenchen nodded. "Yes, it's money."
"Money!? Isn't this a home invasion robbery?! Did you find any evidence that those are criminals? Otherwise, our characterization could be on the dark side!"
"There's a smell of blood in the suitcase. Now, let the security team handle it."
As Jiang Chenchen spoke, the elevator, originally set to go directly to the first floor, suddenly stopped on the fourth floor.
