He doesn’t listen to the rest of Basa Li’s statement. As soon as he hears where An Chuxia is, he quickly hangs up the phone and runs toward the stairs. Ling Hanyu tries to catch up, but stops. His listening skills are quite acute, even when it comes to whispering. Thus, he heard Basa Li say An Chuxia is locked in the toilet on the fourth floor of the school building.
But Fei Lixiya said she couldn’t be found. Did she not search the toilet? Impossible!
He turns to Lixiya and asks, “Didn’t you say
no one was in the school building? Didn’t you search for An Chuxia in the girls’ bathroom on the fourth floor?”
With his voice ramped up, Fei Lixiya feels intimidated. She swallows hard as she recalls. Then, she clasps her hands and says, “When I got to the door, it was locked. There was a “Maintenance” sign at the door.”
“Damn!” Ling Hanyu kicks the gravel at his feet into the darkness. He wants to head upstairs, but he clearly sees what’s in his heart. Han Qilu won’t need him anymore to protect An Chuxia.
Despite this being the case, Hanyu sends Kuni and a
a few of his men upstairs. Not knowing what they might need, he also calls a few ambulances in case of an emergency. Like a lost soul, he walks to the flower bed and sits down.
Time is like a moment of rest.

Han Qilu runs up the stairs and stops in front of the girls’ bathroom. There is a “Maintenance” sign on the doorway. He takes a look and kicks the sign. He doesn’t want to know if Basa Li placed the sign herself.
“An Chuxia, An Chuxia! Are you there, An Chuxia?” The door is locked. He shouts loudly at the door, and
door, and he doesn’t know if she heard him. In any case, he doesn’t hear a peep from inside.
The lock on the door is string, and there isn’t any tool to unlock it. After working hard on it, the door doesn’t open. Finally, he steps back in preparation to use his body to ram the door. Kuni suddenly stops him.
“Young master Qilu, this is a very strong door. Back up. I’ll open it.” Kuni respectfully instructs him.
He knows that Hanyu’s bodyguards are god-like. Unlocking it is quite difficult for mere humans, but naturally, it’s just a trivial matter for them. He says nothing, and says nothing, and steps aside.
Once Kuni sees him move away, he pulls out a black leather bag with a black leather cloth from his waist. Several iron clips and pins lay on the cloth. Taking out two small shims of varying length, he starts to pick the lock. The other bodyguard positions a flashlight over Kuni and the lock. Within seconds, he hears a slight ping. The door opens.
Han Qilu opens the door wide. The light in the toilet is faint, shedding a dim goose yellow light. Through the lights, he sees An Chuxia slumped against the wall, with her eyes closed.
