Chapter 260: Ruined Reputation
Chapter 260: Ruined Reputation
The front desk beauty, with delicate features and a round face, looked very serene. She wore a clean and tidy uniform and was standing at the front desk, helping guests check-in.
"Sir, here is your room card, please take it."
Last time, she mistook Jenny, who was kidnapped, as Gu Xinyan and told Xu Xiangbei Jenny’s room number, and Xu Xiangbei mistakenly rescued Jenny.
In gratitude, Jenny broke the fire alarm and helped Xu Xiangbei find Gu Xinyan.
Xu Xiangbei, breathless, stood in front of the front desk beauty, flipping his hair full of gel: "Beauty, do you still remember me?"
Upon seeing Xu Xiangbei, the beauty’s eyes lit up. It hadn’t been long since their last meeting, and she quickly recognized him.
Sensing Xu Xiangbei’s anxiousness, influenced by his emotions, the beauty nodded nervously, a faint blush appearing on her face.
She still remembered last time’s events quite vividly.
With a bit of shyness: "It’s you, are you here to stay in the hotel?"
"I’m still looking for the girl in a wheelchair, the one sitting on the sofa after the last hotel’s fire alarm, do you remember?"
Xu Xiangbei showed her a picture of Gu Xinyan on his phone.
The front desk beauty had long forgotten Gu Xinyan’s appearance but was suddenly reminded after seeing the photo.
"Just now, a man with a hat pushed her into the elevator. The security guard saw the girl looking confused and, for safety, asked the man about it. The man said something about her being drunk at lunch."
So sly, they got Gu Xinyan drunk and had their way. Xu Xiangbei suppressed his anger: "Which room is she in?"
"Let me check the surveillance; they only went up less than ten minutes ago. Here, they probably went to room 318 on the third floor; the man checked in here yesterday."
Less than ten minutes, oh my, though short, anything could happen in ten minutes. Xu Xiangbei’s eyes turned murderous: "What name did the man register under?"
"He’s called Liu Zhi."
This confirmed everything. Xu Xiangbei trusted his judgment: "It’s him, our handsome Liu."
Upon hearing that the room was booked under Liu Zhi, Xiao Lin’s face turned pale. That was Liu Yuxing’s name before he became famous. She had called that name so many times in her dreams, never imagining he’d truly kidnap and harm Gu Xinyan. Tears of sadness and shame rolled down Xiao Lin’s cheeks.
The beauty secretly slipped a room card to Xu Xiangbei, gave him a knowing look. Giving someone else a room card is against the rules.
Xu Xiangbei caught on, gratefully smiling at the beauty. He took the key and rushed to the third floor.
He didn’t wait for the elevator; there was no time. Images of Liu Yuxing undressing Gu Xinyan flashed in his mind, angering him so much he almost crushed the room card.
The corridor had a soft carpet. Xu Xiangbei had been to Wanlong Hotel before, knew approximately where room 318 was, and headed straight there.
When Xu Xiangbei reached room 318, he found a crowd at the door, filling the hallway. They held cameras, capturing something inside with clicks and flashes.
Ouyang Jiahui recognized some of them; they were mainstream media journalists. With so many people at the door, Xu Xiangbei and the others couldn’t squeeze in.
Dongfang Bai’s eyes flashed with terror, seemingly understanding: "This is bad; it’s a trap. Gu Xinyan fell into a trap."
Xu Xiangbei was puzzled: "What trap did she fall into, what do you mean?"
"Someone wants to disgrace her, ruin her reputation. She’s probably lying on the bed right now, being caught having an affair by these people."
Xu Xiangbei was instantly filled with rage: "What affair are they catching? She’s just a disabled girl."
Having been an actor for years, Dongfang Bai knew the ins and outs: "That’s why it’s a trap. She’s not just any disabled girl; she’s the new lead in Qinghai Film and Television Company’s movie, a rising star set to be famous. The entertainment circle isn’t as pure as it seems; sometimes, for competition, for a role, people set traps, harm others without any scruples."
Xu Xiangbei became even more anxious, like a wolf among sheep, picking up the reporters and tossing them aside like chicks.
The hallway echoed with painful screams and groans from the reporters who had been thrown around by Xu Xiangbei.
Xu Xiangbei finally burst into room 318, but the scene inside stunned him even more.
Liu Yuxing was sitting on the bed, holding a woman with long hair covering her face.
Xu Xiangbei first saw the wheelchair by the bed, confirming it was Gu Xinyan’s wheelchair. Instinctively, he believed the woman in Liu Yuxing’s arms was Gu Xinyan.
Furious, he punched Liu Yuxing, causing him to spit blood, along with several big front teeth, staining the white sheet red.
The woman in his arms screamed loudly, "No, don’t hit, don’t hit."
Hearing the woman’s voice, Xu Xiangbei froze in place.
It wasn’t Gu Xinyan’s voice at all. He glanced at the woman with long hair covering her face, noting her smaller facial contours, her curled-up legs, clinging tightly to Liu Yuxing, exposing a large part of her white body.
Gu Xinyan’s leg nerves hadn’t fully recovered; she couldn’t possibly curl her legs like that. The woman in Liu Yuxing’s arms wasn’t Gu Xinyan at all.
Xu Xiangbei felt a bit lost. This was clearly room 318, right? Oh dear, maybe that girl at the front desk made a mistake again, and he recklessly barged in, hitting Liu Yuxing, tossing the reporters. This was bad, a major blunder.
He stuck out his tongue and quickly fled.
The reporters he had thrown down were just trying to get up but were knocked back down by him again, screaming in pain.
"Oh my gosh, my leg."
"My nose, kid, don’t run, come back here."
Ouyang Jiahui and the others saw Xu Xiangbei rush madly into room 318 and then quickly retreat with a terrified look, so they curiously rushed in too.
Xiao Lin saw Liu Yuxing naked on the bed, face covered in blood, holding an unfamiliar woman, looking at her with an ashen face.
First, she was furious, but then seeing Liu Yuxing no longer had his usual handsome, dashing demeanor, now appeared desolate and pitiful, she felt sorry for him.
She bit her lip, angrily cursed: "Shameless."
Tears streaming, she ran out of the room.
Ouyang Jiahui and Dongfang Bai looked at each other, then at Liu Yuxing and the woman with long hair covering her face on the bed.
