The hotel was just a few minutes away from Mu Wanqing's residence. One couldn't help but wonder if Yang Cuizhu had deliberately chosen this location.
The car was still parked by the roadside. From afar, she could see the hotel surrounded by a throng of people, all holding their phones aimed at the upper floors.
Some were even wearing headphones and holding tripods, evidently streaming the event live.

The fire truck had already arrived and was setting up an inflatable rescue cushion.
Mu Wanqing stepped forward and, after brief communication with the police managing the scene, was immediately escorted into the hotel.
