Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Spending Money

Dong Haoran frowned, thinking, could it have been lost? But when had it gone missing?Brother Hu had already risen and left to make arrangements for Tang Tiantian.

Wang Min, sitting beside him, saw his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Dong Haoran replied, "Brother Wang, do you have any medication on you? I left mine at home."

"You kid, coming to me even for a few pills," teased Wang Min with a smile as he pointed at him.

Dong Haoran chuckled, "I really did forget to bring them."

"I don't have any Ecstasy pills, but I've got something even better," Wang Min said with a mysterious smile, pulling out a zip-seal bag from his pocket. Inside the bag was a white powder.

Taking it in his hand, Dong Haoran asked, "What is this?"

Wang Min replied, "Good stuff, it's more effective than pills. This is enough for you to enjoy all night."

Without another word, Dong Haoran stowed the item and said, "Thanks, Brother Wang. I'll treat you to a meal later."

Zhu Xiaoyue, who had been observing Dong Haoran from a distance, saw him take a bag of white powder from Wang Min and was about to rush over to catch him red-handed, but was quickly pulled back by Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao glared at her, "Are you crazy?"

Zhu Xiaoyue shook off his hand and said, "Why are you holding me back? Didn't you see what he just took in his hand?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "What's the rush? He's not going anywhere. Let's wait and see where he's headed."

Zhu Xiaoyue suppressed the urge to rush forward and arrest him, and sat at a table with Li Xiaoyao, pretending to be a couple.

Once Dong Haoran got up and left the bar, Li Xiaoyao and Zhu Xiaoyue also followed him out.

The two of them watched as he entered a hotel next to the bar, exchanged a glance, and followed him in.

They waited outside the hotel for ten minutes, until Dong Haoran had completed the check-in process, then pushed the door and went in.

"Damn, we don't know which room he's in," Zhu Xiaoyue said with a frown.

Li Xiaoyao replied, "I know."

Zhu Xiaoyue looked at him curiously. Li Xiaoyao had already walked up to the front desk and said, "I'd like a room, 403, please."

The room was prepared quickly, and Li Xiaoyao, holding the room card, waved it in front of Zhu Xiaoyue, saying, "Don't just stand there, let's go."

Once inside the elevator, Zhu Xiaoyue couldn't help but ask, "How do you know which room he's in?"

Li Xiaoyao, of course, wouldn't tell her about his telepathy. He said, "I asked around when I went to the restroom just now. Hey, you're not doing a very good job as a cop. Not knowing this basic information and just blindly tracking people."

Zhu Xiaoyue's face reddened, but she stubbornly replied, "Who says I don't know."

Li Xiaoyao looked at her with a smile. By then, the elevator had reached the fourth floor. Li Xiaoyao stepped forward to exit, but Zhu Xiaoyue grabbed him.

Zhu Xiaoyue whispered, "Be careful, let's first see if he's out there." Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Li Xiaoyao looked helpless, "There's no one out there."

Zhu Xiaoyue looked puzzled, "How would you know that?"

Li Xiaoyao lied without blinking an eye, "And you call yourself a cop, all those things they taught you in the police academy, forgotten already? This hotel is so small, you can hear everything."

As he spoke, Li Xiaoyao walked out of the elevator. Using his telepathy, he had already locked on to Dong Haoran's room.

Li Xiaoyao placed his index finger to his lips and went "shush," saying, "Don't talk."

The two of them walked to room 403 with light steps and swiped the card to enter the room.

Sitting on the bed, Li Xiaoyao pointed to the wall behind the bed, "He's in the next room."

Zhu Xiaoyue took a paper cup, pressed it against the wall, and then placed her ear against the cup, listening to the movement in the next room.

Li Xiaoyao, meanwhile, lay on the bed with his eyes closed, resting, as every action of Dong Haoran's played out in his mind; now, he was just waiting for him to take drugs, and then Zhu Xiaoyue could apprehend him.

At that moment, Dong Haoran sat on the bed, took out a sealed bag, and looked at the white powder inside, licking his lips. He didn't realize at all that he was being tracked.

In the bar, Tang Youde had already gotten drunk, and Tang Tiantian was preparing to take him away, but just then, a man approached her.

Tang Tiantian looked up, thinking he was just trying to hit on her, and didn't pay him any attention.

Tang Tiantian, supporting the drunken Tang Youde, got up to leave.

The man took out a bulging envelope, placed it on the table, and said, "This is your fee for the night."

Upon hearing this, Tang Tiantian visibly froze, then, enraged, said, "I'm not a prostitute, get out of my way."

The man smiled faintly, not surprised, and said, "My boss has taken a fancy to you, he needs you to serve him for the night, and this is your compensation."

Tang Tiantian felt a surge of anger inside. She couldn't believe that someone would brazenly try to buy a woman's chastity in such a manner.

Tang Tiantian was a woman with boundaries and dignity; she would not sell her chastity for money.

"You really make me sick!" Tang Tiantian said angrily, looking at the man, then helped Tang Youde towards the door.

The man, watching the defiant Tang Tiantian, smiled faintly and said, "Interesting."

Tang Tiantian, supporting Tang Youde, left the bar, but as soon as they stepped out, a group of tall men surrounded them. Several men snatched Tang Youde from her hands, while a few others grabbed and took her away.

Tang Tiantian was frightened. She wanted to call for help, but before she could make a sound, her mouth was covered.

...

Li Xiaoyao, lying on the bed, moved his ear; he heard the elevator doors open.

Li Xiaoyao expanded his consciousness, covering the entire hotel, and with such detailed coverage, immediately saw a woman being carried up to the fourth floor by several men.

Li Xiaoyao frowned; he felt the woman looked very familiar.

Upon closer inspection, Li Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly shot open.

"Damn it!" Li Xiaoyao cursed under his breath. He realized the woman being held by the men was Tang Tiantian.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Xiaoyue asked curiously, looking at him.

Li Xiaoyao didn't speak; his face grim, he walked to the door, pretended to look through the peephole, and said, "They've captured a woman."

Zhu Xiaoyue's eyebrows raised, "Kidnapping!"

Li Xiaoyao was waiting for just that response. He pulled open the door and swiftly exited.

Tang Tiantian struggled violently, but the men, each big and burly, immobilized her completely.

Tang Tiantian's eyes reddened as tears of fear rolled down. Find your next adventure on M V L

She had a clear idea of what these bad men wanted to do, and she couldn't imagine living on if she were dishonored.

At this moment, in Tang Tiantian's mind, the image of Li Xiaoyao unexpectedly surfaced.

If only he were here, she thought to herself.

And just as she was thinking of Li Xiaoyao, a familiar voice suddenly arose from behind.

"Put her down!"

Li Xiaoyao stood outside the door, looking at the men with a cold gaze, his seemingly calm voice filled with anger.
