Chapter 460: Chapter 460
He pulled Qiao Xi back.
Such a sudden movement.
Qiao Xi was baffled by his actions and looked up, Shen Dang’s broad shoulders blocked half the light.
A halo of blurred light danced on his shoulder.
His sharp profile seemed to bathe in the light with his finely chiseled jawline tensed.
Qiao Xi felt something was off about Shen Dang.
She asked curiously, "What’s wrong?"
Qiao Xi tiptoed, trying to look over his shoulder into the room.
She saw nothing unusual.
Shen Dang’s low voice carried a frost-like chill, "Someone has been in our room."
How could someone have gotten in?
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, uncertain and alarmed, "Are you sure you’re not mistaken?"
Shen Dang had already pulled Qiao Xi out to the door.
He promptly phoned the front desk to report that someone had entered their room.
The matter was significant; the front desk took it seriously immediately, and after contacting their superiors, the hotel manager quickly arrived.
He was followed by several security guards.
Recognizing Shen Dang’s identity, the man approached with respectful and cautious demeanor, "Mr. Shen, hello, I am the hotel manager, Manager Chen. You mentioned that someone entered your room?"
Shen Dang’s handsome features were deeply furrowed, and he looked displeased, "Someone tampered with the items on the shoe rack."
When leaving, Shen Dang had taken something from there and had specifically glanced at the area; he noticed immediately upon entering that the shoes had been moved.
With many people visiting the island these days, Shen Dang couldn’t help but be vigilant.
Just by that, you conclude someone has been in the room?
Isn’t that a bit hasty?
However, remembering Shen Dang and Qiao Xi’s statuses, Manager Chen dared not take the matter lightly.
"Since Mr. Shen is concerned there might be an issue, I will have someone search the room now. Is that alright?"
Qiao Xi and Shen Dang’s room was spacious, with a guest and a bedroom, and the living room was sparse with possessions, making it easy to see if anyone was there.
Only one room left unsearched.
"May we check the room now?" asked Manager Chen politely.
Shen Dang was icily detached.
He was sure someone had been inside.
If there really was someone hiding, the hotel had a significant security risk.
Security opened the bedroom door and started searching. The room had a large wardrobe, a big balcony, and an en-suite bathroom.
Security had checked all these places, finding no one.
Just as they were about to leave, one guard noticed a substantial space under the bed, bent over to check, and inadvertently came eye to eye with a pair of dark eyes.
Even for a grown man like the security guard, this sight nearly scared the daylights out of him.
He yelled out and stumbled backward.
The other security guards crowded in.
The startled guard trembled as he pointed under the bed, "My God, that scared me to death—there’s someone under the bed!" Google seaʀᴄh NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
Really? Someone was actually there?
The security guards quickly pulled out the person hiding under the bed.
Qiao Xi and Shen Dang were waiting outside, and when she saw the stranger brought out by security, she too jumped in shock.
The girl grew visibly excited upon seeing Shen Dang, "Boss Shen, I finally meet you, I really like you!"
While she spoke, she tried to break free from the security’s grip, but they restrained her effectively.
Shen Dang furrowed his brow fiercely; his expression momentarily turned ice cold as if plunging someone into an ice cellar.
So, this girl was here because of him?
Shen Dang’s expression was terrifying, like he was about to kill, and seeing this, the girl surprisingly calmed down, yet her eyes remained glued to Shen Dang.
Qiao Xi had heard of overzealous fans, but she had never encountered sasaeng fans before.
Had Shen Dang not noticed something amiss, thinking of someone they did not know hiding under the bed, observing them, the sheer danger and horror of the situation would be unspeakable, literally chilling.
Seeing the girl staring at Shen Dang, Qiao Xi discreetly shifted to block her view.
But the girl’s gaze on Shen Dang made her extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Dang noticed her movements, turned his head, and seeing Qiao Xi’s face pale, he spoke reassuringly, "It’s okay. The person has been caught, there will be no issues, I’m here."
The murderous intent in Shen Dang’s eyes vanished in front of Qiao Xi, and he tightened his grip on her hand.
Qiao Xi looked at Shen Dang, nodded, and moved closer to him.
Shen Dang wrapped his arm around her.
Manager Chen hadn’t expected this turn of events, but for the sake of the hotel’s reputation, he still wanted to handle the situation privately with Shen Dang and Qiao Xi, hoping to keep the incident under wraps.
But Shen Dang would not allow that to happen!
The person who had secretly crept into their room had severely jeopardized his and Qiao Xi’s personal safety.
No matter how earnestly Manager Chen pleaded in a low voice, Shen Dang insisted on calling the police.
The police station quickly dispatched officers to handle the case.
The girl was taken to the police station.
Shen Dang and Qiao Xi also had to go to make statements.
They sat in the police car.
Shen Dang held Qiao Xi’s hand throughout, "Are you still scared?"
Qiao Xi shook her head, "I’m feeling it now."
Shen Dang lifted his hand to tuck a loose strand of her hair behind her ear, "I’m sorry you were frightened."
Qiao Xi was taken aback, "This isn’t your fault."
The girl sneaked into their room, which was already a criminal act.
She did it because of Shen Dang, but it wasn’t Shen Dang’s fault; it was the girl’s fault.
All Qiao Xi could feel was how terrifying such an incident was, and when it happened to her, it left her feeling angry and helpless.
Did liking someone require such extreme actions?
She didn’t understand.
Qiao Xi and Shen Dang completed their statements according to procedure.
The police also obtained surveillance footage from the hotel.
The girl had checked into the room next to theirs, then climbed over the balcony to their room.
There was no surveillance inside the room, so no one knew what she had done inside.
Facing police interrogation, the girl confessed everything.
She planned to stake out in Shen Dang and Qiao Xi’s room just for the night and leave the next day, not stealing anything.
She did it just to prove she was there for Shen Dang, not for money.
But whether for a person or money, just thinking about such an incident was enough to chill someone for a long time.
Qiao Xi’s eyes and brows were cold; if the girl could sneak into their room, who knew what else she might do?
Could their intimate moments with Shen Dang be secretly recorded and leaked online?
Would there be a risk to their safety while they slept?
Just the thought was horrifying.
Sasaeng fans were a dangerous and insane element.
How could one ever be sure of what someone might do?
