My Gorgeous Landlady

Qin Lu's voice was very rushed, and before Lin Xueting could even speak upon answering the phone, Qin Lu's voice was already coming through.

In her voice was full of urgency.

"Save me, save me, I'm being controlled by Zhang Xiaotian, I'm at the Holiday Hotel..."

Qin Lu's voice, carrying urgency, only managed to say this much before a series of busy tones came from the phone.

As the call disconnected, an anxious expression instantly covered Lin Xueting's face, and her large eyes turned to Liu Chen beside her.

"This is bad, Sister Qin Lu is being controlled by that bastard Zhang Xiaotian again. Does that damn Zhang Xiaotian really want to drive Sister Qin Lu to her death?"

Lin Xueting was furious, like a little tiger.

"Xueting, now is not the time to be angry, the most crucial thing is how we're going to save Qin Lu. Any delay and Sister Qin Lu will be in danger!"

Liu Chen, calm amidst chaos, said.

"Right, right, we have to save Sister Qin Lu!" Lin Xuelai said impatiently, and then hurriedly put on her clothes.

Liu Chen's words gave Lin Xueting, who had no ideas of her own and only knew to panic, a pillar to lean on.

Then, the two of them rushed out of the room and sped to the streets as fast as they could.

They didn't have a car, and the only way was to take a taxi to the Holiday Hotel.

But now it was the start of nightfall, the post-work rush, and after hailing more than ten vehicles in a row, all of them were full.

"This won't do, we simply won't have enough time to get to the Holiday Hotel at this rate!" Liu Chen thought urgently and said, while his mind searched for a solution.

Lin Xueting was also jumping from anxiety, utterly flustered, when suddenly, at this moment, a bicycle appeared in the distance, drawing closer.

The rider was a young man, with slightly long hair and carrying a backpack, presumably a student.

A lightbulb went off for Liu Chen, and he suddenly had an idea.

"I've got an idea!"

After saying this, Liu Chen immediately headed toward the oncoming bicycle.

Lin Xueting also heard what Liu Chen said and instantly calmed down.

"What's the plan?"

Lin Xueting's gaze followed Liu Chen's direction. Liu Chen didn't immediately respond to Lin Xueting's question; however, his subsequent actions perfectly illustrated the plan he had mentioned.

Lin Xueting stood dumbfounded not far away, witnessing Liu Chen's process of commandeering the bicycle.

Liu Chen moved with lightning speed, intercepted the bicycle with expert moves, and effortlessly took hold of the bike.

"Sorry, I need to borrow your bike for a bit!"

Having said that, Liu Chen hopped on the bike and rode towards where Lin Xueting was standing.

The bike's owner, the young man, stood in dumbstruck silence, watching everything happen too swiftly.

"Help, someone's stealing my bike! Help!"

The young man's angry shouts echoed on the street, drawing the sideways glances of many passersby.

When the bicycle stopped next to Lin Xueting, Liu Chen looked at her.

"Aren't you getting on?"

Lin Xueting promptly jumped onto the bicycle, and under Liu Chen's powerful pedaling, it shot off like an arrow.

Lin Xueting's hands clung tightly to the back of Liu Chen's clothing, still not quite recovering from the previous scene.

"Liu Chen, is this the plan you thought of?"

"Of course, this is definitely faster than us trying to hail a cab everywhere!" Liu Chen said as his voice mingled with the wind while he picked up speed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueting thought it made some sense.

"But riding a bike to the Holiday Hotel, won't it also take us a long time? From the tone of Sister Qin Lu's voice, the situation sounds very serious!" Lin Xueting, sitting behind on the bicycle, said with a grave voice.

Liu Chen frowned slightly, looking ahead.

"I know, trust me, we will reach the Holiday Hotel as fast as possible!"

"Hold on to me, I'm going to speed up!"

After saying that, Liu Chen's feet unleashed continuous power into the bicycle, and the chain spun wildly.

Lin Xueting, filled with astonishment upon hearing this, wondered if the bicycle could go any faster since it was already moving so quickly.

Just as Lin Xueting harbored this thought, she felt the bicycle suddenly accelerate, and her body, failing to adapt immediately, leaned backward. Instinctively, her arms reached out and tightly embraced Liu Chen's waist.

Lin Xueting steadied her body, her face flushed slightly. She had never been this close to any man in her life.

Liu Chen kept his speed up, the bicycle going nearly as fast as a motorcycle.

Liu Chen's mind raced, and he understood what needed to be done. The next moment, he pedaled even harder.

"Xueting, hold on tight. I'm going to speed up again!"

"Ah..."

Lin Xueting was surprised. The bicycle's speed increased once more, and all she could feel was the whistling wind by her ears. Her arms involuntarily wrapped tighter around Liu Chen's waist.

The bicycle's pace surpassed the vehicles on the surrounding streets, making Lin Xueting's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Am I seeing things? Is the bicycle Liu Chen snatched really just a bicycle? It feels more like a motorcycle!"

Lin Xueting muttered to herself, once again tightening her arms around Liu Chen's waist.

The speed of the bicycle not only shocked Lin Xueting but also turned the faces of the drivers Liu Chen overtook on the street green with envy.

"The young people these days are really getting more and more incredible. Carrying a girl and still reaching speeds of sixty to seventy miles per hour, it seems we're truly getting old!"

A burly man watched as Liu Chen's bicycle gradually disappeared into the distance, muttering with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"These damn kids are getting bolder and bolder, riding a bicycle at such speeds, they won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!"

A man with a buzz cut and a gold chain around his neck said disdainfully.

After about fifteen minutes under Liu Chen's extraordinary cycling speed, he and Lin Xueting successfully arrived at the Holiday Hotel.

"Holiday Hotel has so many rooms, how are we to find out which one they are in?" Liu Chen muttered.

Lin Xueting shook her head.

"Got it, you can just pretend to be Zhang Xiaotian's wife and then make a scene at the front desk. I'm sure the hotel wouldn't want to make a big deal out of it, and that way, we can easily find out what room they are in," Liu Chen suggested, looking at Lin Xueting with pure eyes, implying no insult to her by his words.

After spending a few days together, Lin Xueting naturally understood what kind of person Liu Chen was. Regarding Qin Lu's issue, their joint goal was to spare no effort in rescuing Qin Lu and saving her from her plight.

Lin Xueting bit her lower lip and after a moment's hesitation, she resolutely nodded.

"As long as it saves Sister Qin Lu, I'll risk everything this time, though I'm not very good at this!" Lin Xueting said.

"No worries, just making a big scene will do. I'll be there to stir things up, and that will do the trick!" Liu Chen said, patting his chest.

"Okay!"

After discussing it, the two headed straight for the front desk.

The front desk of the Holiday Hotel was staffed by a very pretty attendant.

Seeing Liu Chen and Lin Xueting approach, she showed a professional smile.

"Welcome to the Holiday Hotel. How may I help you today?"

Lin Xueting clenched her teeth and slammed her hand on the counter, raising her voice sharply.

"I'm here to catch a cheater. Is Zhang Xiaotian staying at your hotel?"

Lin Xueting showed a dark side, and Liu Chen, watching from the side, inwardly sighed at her quite decent acting skills.

"Sorry, but we cannot disclose the personal information of our guests," the front desk attendant said calmly.

"You can't disclose it? Tell me what room Zhang Xiaotian is in, quickly. If you don't want to make a big deal out of it, you better hurry up!" Lin Xueting pressed on.

Taking the opportunity, Liu Chen also rushed up to add fuel to the fire.

"Look here, miss, just tell her. Otherwise, she won't quit, she'll keep making a scene, which isn't good for your hotel's reputation, right? Plus, if the manager finds out, not only could you lose a chunk of your salary, but you might even get fired. Tell her, and there are only advantages for you, no disadvantages. You've got to be flexible, read the situation and act accordingly to navigate smoothly through life, right?"

Liu Chen's barrage had an effect. The front desk attendant hesitated for a moment, then stopped talking and quickly began searching on the computer.

After a short while.

"Room 506!"

Hearing this, both of them felt assured.

"Zhang Xiaotian, you bastard, I won't let you off the hook!"

With that, they headed straight for room 506 on the fifth floor.

They quickly reached the fifth floor, but outside room 506, there were five or six black-clad bodyguards, each wearing dark sunglasses, standing like fierce gods guarding the entrance.

"Liu Chen, what do we do now?"

...
