Chapter 55 -55 Threat

Lin Zhiyi followed the signs toward the private room.

Driver Zhang supported her, looking around, “Miss Lin, what if the manager doesn’t cooperate?”

The next second, Lin Zhiyi stopped outside the door of the private room, her face showing a newfound resolve.

“Today, whether he cooperates or not, I’ll make sure he has to!”

After speaking, she walked up to the emergency alarm used to evacuate crowds in the hotel and forcefully slammed it.

Instantly, the entire hotel filled with the sound of alarms, and everyone started running outside.

Lin Zhiyi and Driver Zhang, however, moved inward in search.

But even after searching the innermost private rooms, they found no trace, not even a familiar face.

“Miss Lin, we still haven’t found them.”

Lin Zhiyi’s palms were sweaty, and her body felt weak.

Could her rebirth still not be able to change the accident involving Liu He and Gong Shiyan?

Just as she became frantically anxious, a waiter burst out from a door.

Lin Zhiyi grabbed her by the arm and pointed at the door, asking, “What’s this place?”

“It’s a passage connected to the kitchen for staff to serve dishes more easily.”

Lin Zhiyi, thinking of something, rushed in without worrying about her aching feet.

Yet, she was disappointed again; the kitchen was in plain sight, with no possible hiding places.

That is until the sound of sniffling came from behind a nondescript door in the corner.

Lin Zhiyi stepped quickly toward it, stunned to find the words “Garbage Room” posted on the door.

Garbage Room!

Garbage Room!

Anger rising, Lin Zhiyi tried to pull the door open but couldn’t budge it.

Eventually, Driver Zhang kicked the door a few times, breaking the lock and opening it.

A stench billowed out immediately.

All the hotel’s kitchen waste was in there.

Gong Shiyan lay atop days-old spoiled food.

Liu He, with her hands and feet tied, lay beside Gong Shiyan, covered head to toe in the foul kitchen refuse.

Her mouth was stuffed with a hard bun.

She, who always loved cleanliness and beauty, had never been in such a sorry state, her face smeared with grime, her eyes filled with tears and bloodshot from fright.

The moment she saw Lin Zhiyi, she sobbed and looked toward Gong Shiyan on the ground, having been trying desperately to move him with her body.

Afraid for his safety.

Lin Zhiyi bit her back teeth, “Mom, I’m here to save you!”

“Stop! Who dares!”

The manager appeared with four burly security guards.

He glared at Lin Zhiyi, baring his teeth, “Miss Lin, what do you think this place is? You come and go as you please, stir up unrest here, and think you can just walk away? Maybe you should stay and join them as an apology.”

Nobility?

Mrs. Song!

Song Wanqiu’s mother!

Lin Zhiyi blocked the door, reminding the manager, “Do you know who they are?”

But the manager snorted coldly, looking askance, “You are called ‘miss’ and really think you are a miss from the Gong Family? Even the Second Young Master has to look at the Third Young Master’s face outside, let alone you offending people you shouldn’t have.”

Lin Zhiyi was taken aback.

The manager took the chance to signal to the security guards, “Grab her!”

Seeing this, Driver Zhang immediately tried to protect Lin Zhiyi, but one could not fight against four, and he was quickly tripped by two of the guards.

The other two rushed toward Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi grabbed a trash can and threw it, hitting a guard and buying time before she turned to head for the garbage room.

But with her injured foot, she couldn’t run and was easily caught by the guards who threw her out forcefully.

“Ugh!”

She grunted as she fell to the floor.

The manager, looking fierce, advanced toward her, raising his foot to stomp on Lin Zhiyi’s hand.

“Making trouble with your hands! I’ll show you what’s what!”

Just as his foot was about to come down, Lin Zhiyi didn’t even have the strength to get up.

Suddenly, the foot twisting oddly before her, the manager’s expression distorted for a few seconds before he screamed out in pain.

“Ah! My foot… Ah!”

Another scream, and the manager was thrown a good distance away.

Only when Lin Zhiyi heard the sound of the manager’s body scraping against the ground did she snap back to reality and look up.

It was Chen Jin.

He retracted his leg, then moved to the side.

The man dressed in black approached, seemingly restraining something under the harsh white light, exuding danger.

He glanced at Lin Zhiyi on the ground and reached out to drag her over.

Lin Zhiyi winced in pain; her palms had been scraped raw when she supported herself on the ground.

The man lowered his gaze to scan her wound, and his deep voice arose, “I’m at home, not dead yet.”

“But my mom and uncle…”

Lin Zhiyi tried to pull her hand away, intending to rush into the trash room to rescue them.

Gong Chen gestured with his eyes to Driver Zhang and Chen Jin, who both charged into the trash room.

He then forcefully pulled Lin Zhiyi behind him, “What can you do like this? Wait.”

Afterward, he twirled his ring and stepped in front of the manager, his penetrating gaze brimming with bloodlust.

Upon seeing who it was, the manager, despite the pain, did not dare to make a sound, “Third, Third Young Master.”

Gong Chen looked down on his obsequiousness, his shiny leather shoes stepping on the manager’s twisted ankle.

“Ah!” The manager couldn’t hold back his scream any longer.

“Talking nonsense comes with a price,” Gong Chen said coldly.

“Right, sorry! I was wrong! I won’t, I dare not do it again,” the manager wanted to kneel and beg for mercy but couldn’t manage to.

“No one in the Gong Family, no one should be touched.”

“Yes…”

As the words fell, Gong Shiyan and Liu He were rescued.

Liu He was half-conscious, still instinctively whimpering for help.

Suddenly, she retched, vomiting quite a bit, including food remnants and un-digested rotten steamed buns.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhiyi felt a chill through her body, her eyes quickly reddening, feeling as if her chest was being pounded, the pain leaving her gasping for breath.

She dared not imagine what humiliation Liu He had endured before.

“Mom.”

…

At the hospital.

After the examination, the doctor found that Gong Shiyan was just drunk, without any injuries.

After all, he was the Second Young Master of the Gong Family, even his recklessness wouldn’t go so far.

But Liu He was in a much worse state, she had been force-fed a lot of alcohol, and had to get her stomach pumped because of the rotten food she had ingested.

Even her limbs bore deep marks of constriction.

It was clear that all of this was targeted at Liu He.

Lin Zhiyi’s hands trembled as she tightly grasped Liu He’s hand.

Liu He seemed to sense her presence, slowly opening her eyes, and tears streamed down when she saw her.

“Zhi… Zhiyi, your uncle…”

“Uncle is fine, he’s in the next room with him,” Lin Zhiyi patted her hand.

Liu He whimpered and started crying, her voice hoarse and weak, recounting everything she had suffered.

“Mrs. Song made us drink a lot of alcohol, and after your uncle passed out, she had people tie me up and even forced those stinking buns down my throat, she said…”

Liu He gasped, as if she couldn’t continue.

Lin Zhiyi leaned closer, “Mom, what did she say?”

“She said… I was just a beggar from the Gong Family, and that you, following my example, liked to snatch things that weren’t yours. She said this was just a lesson, next time it might not be so…”

Lin Zhiyi’s heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a knife, pain and anger sweeping through her body, forcing herself to clenched her teeth to suppress the urge to kill.

Mrs. Song’s words were a naked threat, striking directly at her weak spot.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t want Liu He to worry, so she comforted her with a few words and then stayed with her until she fell asleep.

After tucking Liu He in, Lin Zhiyi made a call to Song Wanqiu with a cold expression.

Within three seconds, Song Wanqiu answered the phone, and piercing laughter came from the other end.

Lin Zhiyi even heard Mrs. Song describing vividly how she had tortured Liu He.

“Dear daughter, you have no idea how funny it was when she cried and begged for mercy, just like Mrs. Wang’s dog…”

Song Wanqiu seemed to deliberately let Lin Zhiyi hear this before she spoke lightly, “Lin Zhiyi, what’s the matter? Are you here to seek justice for your mom? And then? With what will you seek it?”

She burst into laughter, full of scorn.

Lin Zhiyi clenched her phone, her voice suppressed, “Song Wanqiu, what exactly do you want?”
