Chapter 193
Jiang Chen asked for the records when the manager claimed the room had been booked.
He claimed that he knew Chu Luo when the manager said Huangfu Hua and Chu Luo knew each other. It sounded like he was only being contrary.
The manager was in a tight spot. Jiang Chen didn’t look soft at all, but he couldn’t handle it if the rich playboys behind him were irritated either.
He knew he was in the wrong, so he couldn’t force Jiang Chen to move out. If he made a scene, the reputation of the hotel would be damaged.
“You countrymen don’t know what self-control is at all!” Huangfu Ming shouted.
Jiang Chen didn’t say anything. He suddenly darted forward and slapped Huangfu Ming in the face hard, with both hands.
Huangfu Ming was seeing stars. He didn’t realize what had happened until the tight, hot feeling on his cheeks proved it was real.
Chu Luo had been about to call him “Young Lord” by instinct, but she suddenly recalled Jiang Chen had told her not to expose their relationship in front of others, and she saw him wearing a mask. She was quick on the uptake, so she corrected herself immediately.
“It’s really you?”
She was uncertain. She knew Jiang Chen had been trapped in the Realm of Beasts. She had asked her master about it and knew the Natural Law School had never sent anyone to rescue him.
That meant there was only a slim chance that Jiang Chen had survived.
“It’s me.”
The female disciple of the Isle of Sky at the door, called Qian’er, darted over and grasped Jiang Chen’s wrists excitedly.
“It’s not smart to talk here,” Jiang Chen gestured them to keep calm.
Chu Luo nodded. She glanced at the others present, who were completely dazed, and said, “He is a good friend of mine. It’s you who are behaving unreasonably. And you, you should resign from the manager’s position.”
The manager paled. Chu Luo was their boss’s best friend. She had the authority to say this.
If it was surprising that Chu Luo had spoken in such a manner to protect Jiang Chen, what she did next was regarded as crazy.
She let Jiang Chen enter her room and locked the door.
Huangfu Hua and the others couldn’t believe it.
Chu Luo protected herself very well. She had never had too much contact with men.
People familiar with her knew it was because she didn’t want any gossip that could damage her reputation. It would be too high a price to pay, and she didn’t feel it was worth it.
But at that moment, she had let a man enter a room where there were only female disciples, and she had locked the door!
“It can’t be true…” Huangfu Ming murmured subconsciously. He was dumbfounded.
