"You brat, you just wait, I'll kill you!"

The muscular man, with one hand covering his groin, hopped and skipped over to find his phone.

The man with the nosebleed didn't care about his male dignity anymore and just lay on the ground pretending to be dead.

Hotel staff and police arrived quickly.

The muscular man, feigning malice, pointed angrily at Xi Chenzhou: "Officer! This man committed assault! Look what happened to my brother! He can't even stand up! We want a medical examination! We'll sue him to death!"

The police officer glanced at the man with a bloody nose on the ground; it was indeed frightening, covered in blood, and the bloodstains on the floor were also obvious.

Lin Xuechun quickly explained, "Officer, it was the man on the ground who started touching me inappropriately. My friend came over to stop him, and that's when we fought back."

"Stop spouting nonsense! Who laid a hand on you? Who saw it?!" The muscular man, unaware of the situation between Lin Xuechun and the man with the nosebleed, shouted defiantly.

The man with the nosebleed pretended to be dead and didn't say a word, watching his companions charge into battle for him.

"Could you please check the surveillance footage?" the police officer said to the hotel staff.

The staff contacted the security room via walkie-talkie, and a few minutes later, security personnel arrived with a laptop.

Nowadays, surveillance footage is stored in the cloud in real time, and with the help of AI, it's very convenient to check.

Soon, the surveillance footage was brought up.

The events were clear, but the lack of sound gave the man with the nosebleed an opportunity to make excuses.

"See, officer? I just accidentally pulled this girl's hand and was joking with her, and this guy rushed out and beat me up! He beat me up like this, my nose is broken, ouch, it hurts so much! This constitutes intentional assault! He must be arrested and sentenced!"

"It wasn't just holding hands, it was harassment! You wanted me to be your escort, offering 3000 yuan a day plus a bag. When I refused, you grabbed my hand and tried to force me!"

Lin Xuechun was so angry at the man's sophistry that her face turned red. How could there be such a shameless man!

Taking advantage of the lack of sound on the security camera, the man with the nosebleed twisted the truth: "I was just asking you what fun things to do around here. You misunderstood! I don't care, I'm going to the hospital for a medical examination. You'll have to pay me for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress!"

The muscular man said, "They should also pursue criminal charges! This is too serious! He must go to jail!"

The two of them sang in unison, getting more and more excited as they talked.

Lin Xuechun was almost in tears: "You won't admit it, huh? The surveillance footage has no sound, but I have a recording!"

Fortunately, she accidentally pressed the quick record button on her phone and recorded her conversation with the man with the nosebleed.

She turned on her phone, tapped a few times, and sound came from the speaker—

"How about I give you 3000 yuan a day?"

"I'll buy you another bag. Do you want LV or Gucci?"

"Hey beautiful, don't go! Name your price, how much would you be willing to pay? Tell me, I'm not short of money."

The recording perfectly reproduced what the man with the nosebleed said.

The man with the nosebleed had a blood-soaked face that was deathly pale, almost translucent red, making him look rather eerie.

But he quickly found another excuse: "Didn't I say I wouldn't do anything, just play along? If you don't want to, fine, but did your friend have to hit me?"

As he said, the recording only mentioned "playing games" and nothing else. But what kind of people do police officers deal with every day? They've handled countless cases and know exactly what men are thinking. Saying it's "playing games" is obviously what they're really after.

The girl is so pretty, and the guy who hit her is handsome too. They look like a couple. The girlfriend was being harassed, and the boyfriend beat her up in a fit of anger. That's probably what happened.

The police officer said to the man with the bloody nose, "The one who starts it is despicable. You know in your heart whether you had those intentions or not. The young girl was sitting there peacefully, and you went over to ask her to be your companion and even touched her inappropriately. It's no wonder you got beaten up."

"Young man," the police officer said, then looked at Xi Chenzhou, "you really went too far. Don't be so impulsive next time. Learn to use legal means to protect your rights. Don't do this again."

"You two should apologize to each other and reconcile this time."

"Reconciliation? I won't accept it! I have to put him in jail! Or compensate me for my losses, 500,000! Not a penny less!" The man with the nosebleed was indignant. His face was still sore from the injury. Could a mere apology really make it all go away? Don't even think about it!

Xi Chenzhou hadn't said a word, his head down, looking at the monitoring software on the security personnel's computer.

Hearing the man with the nosebleed say that, she suddenly chuckled very lightly, looked up at him, and casually said, "Alright, let's see who goes in first."

After speaking, he lowered his eyes slightly, his fingers typing on the keyboard. After a while, he stopped, turned the screen to face the crowd, straightened up, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly stood to the side.

The screen displayed a surveillance video of the hotel corridor, with the time in the upper right corner showing it was from the night before, around midnight.

In the scene, a young woman wearing a tight dress and heavy makeup stops at the door of a room and knocks.

The door opened quickly, and the man with the nosebleed appeared in the frame, pulling the door open to let the woman in.

A moment later, the door to the next room opened, and the muscular man came out and went into the room of the man with the nosebleed.

Two men and one woman.

The woman didn't come out of the room until after 4 a.m. and left alone.

After the video finished playing, an eerie tranquility descended upon the air.

Those who understood and those who didn't remained silent.

"We...we were playing cards!" the man with the nosebleed hurriedly tried to explain, but his momentum had clearly diminished.

"Yes! Play, play Landlord." The muscular man shrank his neck and shouted nervously.

The policeman glanced at the two with a cold smile: "Hmph, playing cards, huh? Let me tell you, this woman is an old acquaintance. She just came to our police station last month to give a statement."

Upon hearing this, both the man with the nosebleed and the muscular man fell silent, their eyes darting away.

The police officers, who had dealt with ladybugs for a long time, understood everything about the two men's behavior: "Alright, stop making excuses. Go to the community hospital for some medicine, and then come back to the station with me to make your statements."

"We really didn't—"

"Nothing much, you know what you did. Just come with me quietly, or I'll have this young man check the surveillance footage of other hotels with your ID cards and see if we find anything new."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately became obedient.

They're all old ladybugs now.

It can't withstand further scrutiny.

The policeman took out a pen from his breast pocket, found a piece of paper, wrote down an email address, and handed it over: "Young man, could you please send me a copy of this surveillance video?"

"Okay," Xi Chenzhou typed on the keyboard and quickly sent the video.

The two ladybugs were taken away by the police.

Hotel staff apologized to Lin Xuechun and Xi Chenzhou and presented them with various buffet and spa vouchers as a token of their sincerity.

Xi Chenzhou didn't want them; he gave them all to Lin Xuechun.
