Chapter 1 009 What is the price to pay_1

"Wanwan, is there anything wrong?" Upon seeing Lin Xiangwan, there was a fleeting moment of surprise in Song Yichen's eyes.

Immediately then, he charged at Qin Muchuan, grabbing him by the collar in a fit of rage. His eyes were reddened with hate as he spat out, "You scum, you bullied my girlfriend! I won't let this go!"

Qin Muchuan didn't resist. He allowed Song Yichen to hold onto his collar as he coolly chuckled, "Finally, someone has caught the bad guy!"

Song Yichen was furious and embarrassed. "What did you say?"

"You know what I meant," Qin Muchuan replied indifferently.

"I don't!"

Lin Xiangwan hurried forward to pull Song Yichen away. "Yichen, don't be reckless, this gentleman didn't do anything to me!"

Song Yichen didn't believe her. "He didn't do anything? Then why are your clothes completely wet? Wanwan, we cannot tolerate such things, and there's no need to consider anything else. We have to bring him to justice. Call the police, quickly!"

Lin Xiangwan tried hard to explain. "I was drugged. This gentleman threw me into cold water, saving me. Let go of him now, stop causing a scene!"

"Don't lie to me. Trust me, Wanwan, no matter how big the problem is, I'll be your pillar of support!"

Lin Xiangwan stomped her feet in frustration. "Are you happy only when you insist that I have been mistreated somehow? Let him go right now!"

Song Yichen hesitated for a moment before finally letting go. "Sorry about that, Mr Qin!"

Qin Muchuan glanced at him, calmly adjusted his collar, and asked nonchalantly, "Are you sure we don't need to call the police? Mr Song, I think it's necessary to report this. After all, how can anyone just walk into my room? To stay in the presidential suite for sixty thousand a night...can the security really be this lax?"

"This…" Being the owner of the hotel, Song Yichen didn't know how to explain.

"Mr Qin, I deeply apologize. I am the one who made the mistake of opening the wrong room. I am the manager of the Guest Room Department!" Lin Xiangwan took responsibility for the error.

His surname is Qin. So, Song Yichen and he know each other?

However, that's not surprising; a person who stays in the presidential suite isn't an ordinary person.

Qin Muchuan raised an eyebrow subtly. "Hotel manager? So it's an inside job!"

"Yes!" Lin Xiangwan nodded.

"An insider got drugged, then walked into my room…" Qin Muchuan linked all the events together, then laughed. "Is all of this really just coincidence? If so, it's quite a coincidence! Seems like someone wants to frame me!"

Lin Xiangwan felt a chill. Indeed, it was oddly coincidental!

In the blink of an eye, she had too many doubts.

Still, she needed to handle the immediate situation. "Mr Qin, I'm truly sorry about this incident. But please believe that there was no intention to frame you in this, I guarantee it with my character!"

"Character?" Qin Muchuan replied sarcastically. "Most times, a character isn't worth as much as a body. Miss, would you dare to guarantee with your body?"

"You... Mr Qin, that's going too far!" Song Yichen roared indignantly.

"Going too far? I disagree!" Qin Muchuan became stern. "Mr Song, let alone the fact that I'm a high-level member of this esteemed hotel known for spending no less than five million a year, after what happened today, shouldn't I be suspicious?"

Between the two men, a palpable undercurrent of tension ran thick. One small trigger would set it off.

Lin Xiangwan couldn't help but feel a surge of fear. She took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I can bet with my body! Mr Qin, please trust us!"

Song Yichen yelled at Lin Xiangwan out of concern. "This incident has nothing to do with you. Don't speak recklessly!"

"Yichen, this incident is indeed the hotel's negligence. I am willing to accept the relevant responsibilities, and we should assume the relative responsibilities," Lin Xiangwan contended.

Song Yichen remained silent.

Qin Muchuan nodded. "Alright, I'll accept this guarantee. I hope I won't see this incident being exploited, slandered, framed, or blackmailed tomorrow morning or sometime in the future...Otherwise, I'll definitely demand what you guaranteed."

"That definitely won't happen!" Lin Xiangwan assured.

Qin Muchuan looked at her, his words veiled with meanings. "Good luck!"

His all-seeing gaze made Lin Xiangwan uncomfortable, and irked Song Yichen. "Mr Qin, we have given our promise. Is there anything else you need?"

"No more. You both may leave," Qin Muchuan gestured, signifying them to exit.

He was indeed tired tonight and had no energy to change hotels. After the recent incident, he thought that having a peaceful sleep shouldn't be a tough task.

......

After working in the hotel industry for many years, this was the first time Lin Xiangwan had felt so embarrassed.

Beyond the physical embarrassment of being drenched, the psychological embarrassment of being framed and dealing with such a stern man was more severe!

At this point, she felt so tired and tense.

Even after exiting the lavish presidential suite and that man's presence, returning to her own office, she still trembled involuntarily.

Song Yichen shut the door and questioned Lin Xiangwan first, "Wanwan, what did you do to make such a big mistake by entering the wrong room?"

Lin was puzzled and asked back, "Why was it me who entered the wrong room? You gave me the room key and told me to wait!"

Song Yichen shook his head innocently, "Wanwan, I asked you to hand the card in at the front desk and then exchange it for room 1219. I reserved room 1219!"

"But you didn't tell me!" Lin Xiangwan furrowed her brows.

Song Yichen chuckled, "How is that possible? I did tell you!"

"You clearly handed me the room card and asked me to wait for you!"

Song Yichen gave a self-deprecating smile and then said sincerely, "Wanwan, do you really think I would reserve such an expensive room for myself? That would make me lose fifty to sixty thousand in one night!"

Indeed, Song Yichen wouldn't give up a good opportunity to make money.

"Then did you forget to tell me? You thought you told me, but you didn't!" She refused to believe that she had misheard.

Song Yichen still shook his head. "Alright, let's not dwell on this anymore! Thankfully, nothing bad happened!"

"Do you know that Mr Qin?" She asked again.

Song Yichen nodded, "Yes!"

"Who is this Mr Qin?"

"CEO of Huatai Group!"

Lin Xiangwan was shocked. 'Huatai Group' is one of the top conglomerates in the country. Their business coverage spans across the globe, and their market shares go for sixty to seventy per piece.

This Mr Qin is no ordinary big shot!

Mini Drama: A certain wealthy lady asked Qin Muchuan, "After spending a whole night in close contact with her, don't you desire my Wanwan? To shamelessly ask her to guarantee with her body?"

Qin Muchuan pointed at the wealthy lady's nose with a finger holding a cigarette, "Correct answer, well done!"
