Losing her support and feeling utterly powerless, Nan Shu collapsed to the ground.

Nan Shu's body slammed hard against the elevator car, which creaked before slowly coming to a stop.

They had reached the floor Song Mingkai had pressed. He sneered, glanced down at Nan Shu as if she were a lamb to the slaughter, and then bent down to pull her up from the ground.

"How about it? Still thinking of running away?"

Song Mingkai leaned close to Nan Shu's cheek, his breath hitting her face, and Nan Shu felt a wave of nausea.

She really didn't expect that Song Mingkai would be so bold as to dare to lay a hand on her.

"Qi Yuye will definitely not let you get away with this!"

Nan Shu practically gritted her teeth as she said those words.

Although her voice was very weak, Song Mingkai heard it clearly and spoke with a sarcastic tone.

"By the time Qi Yuye finds out you're missing, you'll probably be a corpse in the river."

After saying that, Song Mingkai dragged Nan Shu towards the room they had booked.

Nan Shu tried her best to struggle and buy time, but she was no match for Song Mingkai because she was too weak. She could only be dragged to the room.

Song Mingkai threw Nan Shu onto the bed, then found a cell phone and placed it on the headboard.

Inside the restaurant.

Qi Yuye frowned as he looked at the empty space.

He turned to the lobby manager and questioned him.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on these two people? Where are they?"

The lobby manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained.

"Mr. Qi, a customer's son went missing just now, and we were looking for him, so we didn't notice..."

Qi Yuye's face was very ugly. His gaze swept across the restaurant. At that time, Nan Shu had sent him a text message, and he was waiting here. However, after waiting for a long time, he did not see Nan Shu return. Feeling uneasy, he went out to look for her.

After searching around without finding Nan Shu, they came back to try their luck. Unexpectedly, the spot where Nan Shu and the others had been sitting had been cleaned up.

"Okay, Mr. Qi, I'll go check the surveillance footage right now and see where they went."

Upon hearing the manager's words, Qi Yuye immediately responded.

"I'll check the security footage. You go ask all the staff here if anyone saw them."

After saying that, Qi Yuye sent Nan Shu's photo directly to the lobby manager.

The lobby manager glanced at the photo on his phone and hurriedly went to gather the waiters to identify the person.

Qi Yuye hurried into the monitoring room.

There were so many cameras in the restaurant, plus the ones outside the corridor, that there were more than thirty cameras of all sizes, making them look extremely small on the screen.

Qi Yuye focused his attention on the surveillance footage, trying to find Nan Shu's figure.

Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed across the screen, and Qi Yuye's pupils contracted instantly.

"It's right there!"

Qi Yuye pointed to a scene on the screen and gave the order.

"Zoom in on this image."

The security guard quickly did as instructed.

When the image was zoomed in, Song Mingkai's face was clearly visible, and Nan Shu next to him was leaning gently on his shoulder, looking as if she was drunk.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yuye clenched his fists tightly.

Song Mingkai walked step by step with Nan Shu in his arms until they entered the elevator. A moment later, Song Mingkai suddenly looked up and glanced in the direction of the surveillance camera.

The next moment, the surveillance footage went completely black.

Qi Yuye's heart skipped a beat.

"The surveillance cameras have been blocked!"

The security guard was somewhat shocked. He turned to look to the side and saw that Qi Yuye's face was very ugly.

At this moment, Qi Yuye knew perfectly well that Nan Shu was probably in danger.

"Is it possible to find out which floor he pressed?"

Qi Yuye tried his best to regain his composure and pressed for an answer.

The security guard shook his head, looking troubled.

"Mr. Qi, the elevator system is open, and there are too many customers every day, so it's impossible to check."

"Then check the surveillance footage for every floor during the same time period. I refuse to believe we can't find it!"

Qi Yuye slammed his hand on the table, his worry evident in his voice.

"Mr. Qi, it might take a while to investigate everything."

The security guard noticed Qi Yuye's anxiety and, while explaining, quickly started using the mouse.

Qi Yuye was very worried, fearing that something might happen to Nan Shu if he was late.

Just then, Qi Yuye's phone suddenly rang.

Qi Yuye took out his phone and glanced at it; it was a call from the lobby manager.

Qi Yuye immediately answered the phone, but before he could speak, the lobby manager's voice came through.

"Mr. Qi, we've found Miss Nan!"

Qi Yuye's heart tightened, and he quickly pressed for an answer.

Where is she?

"Right in our hotel room!"

Inside the hotel room.

With a sinister grin on his face, Song Mingkai approached Nan Shu step by step.

He raised his wrist to check the time, then smiled and nodded.

"It should be taking effect soon, and you'll be very happy from now on."

Nan Shu felt a surge of heat throughout her body, and looking at Song Mingkai in front of her, she felt waves of nausea.

She stared at Song Mingkai with resentment. Her daughter's illness was still not cured, and Nuomi had never called her "Mom." She was unwilling to die like this.

Song Mingkai climbed onto the bed, preparing to make a move on Nan Shu.

Just then, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

The knocking was very urgent, which startled Song Mingkai.

Song Mingkai turned his head toward the door in annoyance and spoke impatiently.

Who is it?

Upon hearing Song Mingkai's voice, the knocking on the door immediately stopped.

The next moment, a gentle female voice rang out.

"Mr. Song, I am a staff member from the hotel's housekeeping department. Our downstairs guests have reported a possible leak upstairs. I've come to check."

Hearing the woman's voice, Song Mingkai breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't use the bathroom, so it shouldn't be a leak in the bathroom."

Song Mingkai directly refused the waiter's request.

But the waiter outside the door was very persistent.

"Sir, this is our job. Please cooperate. If you do not cooperate, we will have to take emergency measures."

Song Mingkai glanced in the direction of the restroom. The restroom was near the door, and as long as the staff didn't do anything inappropriate, it shouldn't be a problem to let her come in and check.

Thinking of this, Song Mingkai gave Nan Shu a threatening look and whispered in her ear.

"Don't move, or I'll make you experience something worse than death."

After saying this, Song Mingkai immediately covered Nan Shu with the blanket, completely covering her up.

After doing all that, Song Mingkai went to the door to open it.

Nan Shu listened to the commotion outside and tried very hard to struggle.

But now she has no strength left in her body and can't even move, let alone attract the attention of people outside.

"Coming, coming! Stop knocking, or I'll complain about you!"

Song Mingkai impatiently opened the door to the room, just about to speak.

The door opened, but instead of hotel room staff, several men stood outside.

When he saw the people at the door, his expression changed drastically.
