“They’ll be here soon,” a security guard quickly responded.

The hotel was not far from the police station, so the response time was relatively fast.

As he finished speaking, a distant siren could be heard approaching.

Now, even Zhou Nan, who had been lying on the ground and making a scene, was taken aback and somewhat scared. He quickly got up, brushed dust off his clothes, and reached for Lin He. “Come home with me; 1’11 deal with you when we get back!”

“No, I don’t want to go with you!” Lin He was taken by surprise as he grabbed her wrist, and the pain made her eyes well up with tears.

Jiang He immediately pushed him away.

Zhou Nan seized the opportunity and lay down on the ground as if he had been pushed over by Jiang He.

“Ouch, it hurts so much! My coccyx seems to be injured. You have to take me to the hospital! You have to pay! You must pay!”

“Zhou Nan, you scoundrel!” Lin He broke free from Jiang He’s grasp, ran over, and grabbed Zhou Nan’s collar with unexpected strength. She lifted him, a man weighing more than a hundred and seventy pounds, off the ground.

“Lin He, are you trying to rebel?” Zhou Nan was incredulous as he stared at the unfamiliar woman before him.

Lin He had always been submissive in his presence, and he had never seen her so angry.

Did this woman really fall for the manager of the hotel?

The more Zhou Nan thought about it, the angrier he became. She grabbed Lin He and said fiercely, “1’11 make you recognize your identity today!”

He raised his hand to strike Lin He, as he usually did.

Lin He instinctively covered her head, but the expected blow did not come. The police car had parked on the street behind them.

“Stop!” The police quickly stepped out of their vehicle and pulled Zhou Nan, who was about to hit Lin He, away. They then turned to Jiang He and asked, “What’s going on?”

Jiang He briefly recounted the situation to the police.

Upon hearing this, the crowd suddenly became pale with fear, realizing they had been foolish. They began to apologize to the police. “Sir, we were deceived by this man. We didn’t mean to cause trouble. We’re not involved in this; can you just let us go?”

“Yeah, we were just helping out when we saw that man claiming his wife had booked a room with another man. We felt it was our duty to intervene.”

“That’s right, we were doing a good deed!”

“You folks created a commotion in a public space, so you all are coming to the police station with us for questioning,” the police said, ignoring their excuses.

They just realized on their way here that the traffic in this area had become unusually congested. When they arrived here, they found out that it was these people gathering and causing trouble that had completely blocked the entire street. This time, we must take all of them back to the police station for proper education!

“Don’t, Officer, we really know we were wrong!” These people pleaded and struggled, not wanting to go to the police station and have a criminal record.

But the police acted in accordance with the law, and these ordinary citizens dared not resist. Soon, they were all taken into the police cars.

Zhou Nan was also among them.

Jiang He saw Lin He, who appeared stunned, standing by his side and softly reassured her, “Don’t be afraid. Those people will serve as witnesses for us, and the hotel has surveillance cameras both inside and outside. He won’t be able to deny it, and he will definitely face legal consequences this time.”

“Thank you.” Lin He looked up at him in a daze, still unable to fully comprehend what had just happened.

She couldn’t believe she had acted that way toward Zhou Nan earlier.

But she didn’t regret it one bit. In fact, deep down, she felt strangely liberated.

This was the first time she had openly confronted Zhou Nan and defied him in public.

She never realized that resisting someone’s oppression and violence wasn’t as difficult as she had imagined.

Upstairs, Mei Shu and Lu Si had been observing the situation all along. It wasn’t until the police cars drove away from the street that they withdrew their gazes and turned to each other.

“So, Mr. Lu Si, the illustrious president of the Lu Corporation, needed to personally inspect the work at a hotel?” Mei Shu asked him with a calm expression.

Lu Si raised an eyebrow. “Undeniably, I have done you a great favor.”

Mei Shu coldly responded, “Your help was for Lin He. If you want to claim gratitude, ask her. What does it have to do with me?”

“Lin He’s situation is indeed your concern, and I’ve intervened. You owe me a favor,” Lu Si said matter-of-factly as he took a sip of tea.

Mei Shu sarcastically asked, “So, you remember what 1 told you last time, right? I explicitly declined your advances, and now your actions…”

She intentionally trailed off, making Lu Si, who had remained cool and collected, somewhat uncomfortable.

Setting down his tea cup, Lu Si moved closer to her. He bent down, leaned in close to her ear, and whispered, “Mei Shu, do you know how to repay the favor you owe me?”

Mei Shu put on an appearance of eager listening and said, “Tell me?”

In a low, almost inaudible voice, Lu Si murmured, “Generally, returning a favor to me means paying a much higher price. However, 1 can offer you a special exception..”
