"Yes, Grandpa brought back a few guests, and now only room number 2 on the 3rd floor is empty! Hurry up and take them up, otherwise, when guests arrive, even this room will be gone!" the young man said.
The old lady patted Qin Leshi's hand. "Girl, look how lucky you are! You've got the last room! Come on, let me take you upstairs! Take a shower and rest first. I see you've caught a cold. I'll bring you some medicine later and cook you a bowl of noodles! You can pay the rent tomorrow! I trust you!"
"Thank you, ma'am." Qin Leshi was, after all, well-educated and reasonable. Even though she knew she had been ripped off by this old woman and her family, she remained very polite.
The old lady took Qin Leshi's hand and walked towards the third floor.
Qin Leshi glanced around. There were five rooms on the third floor, all noisy. Four of the rooms were occupied, and quite a few at that. Only room number two was silent, apparently empty.
"Tsk tsk, three floors and more than a dozen rooms. This old lady's family must have earned over ten thousand this month. Really..." Qin Leshi thought to herself.
The old lady opened the door to room number 2 for Qin Leshi, let her in, and then scurried away, thinking to herself... "Hey! I've ripped off another one! I've made my fill of money for the New Year this year!"
The moment Qin Leshi entered the room, two men, each carrying a bottle of liquor and drinking, staggered out of room number 4 and happened to see Qin Leshi.
Their eyes lit up immediately!
"Dong-ge, so...so beautiful! Really so beautiful! Holy crap!"
"Yeah! That figure, that look...tsk tsk..."
These were two burly men, reeking of alcohol and drunk, staring at Qin Leshi's room with their mouths watering.
"Damn it, I'd pay 5,000 yuan to sleep with a woman like that once!"
"I'll pay 10,000!"
"I just asked the young boss to find us some girls, and damn it, that kid said there's a crackdown going on and there aren't any. What the hell! I've had too much to drink, all I want to do is fuck women...tsk tsk, that chick just now..."
"No way? Brother Dong, what are you trying to do? Don't mess around! This is Beijing, not our territory!" The guy said, while drooling as he stared at Qin Leshi's door.
The "Dong Ge" patted a large bulging money bag at his waist. "I'll pay. It's not considered 'reckless,' is it?" This guy looked like a nouveau riche.
"Brother Dong, money? Can money solve this? Damn it! If money could, I'd be willing to pay!"
“Why not? Five thousand, will she do it? Ten thousand! Damn it, I’ll throw in twenty thousand!” Dong Ge laughed freely.
"No way, Dong-ge, you'd spend 20,000 yuan in one go for a girl?"
"A woman like that, 20,000 yuan a time is worth it!" Dong Ge began to stagger towards Qin Leshi's room. His lower body was already erect!
Another man gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Dong, I'll also throw in 20,000! Let's go together!"
…… …… ……
Gao Jianfei asked at more than a dozen hotels and guesthouses before finally finding one!
"Hmm? Sir, the young woman with short hair, dimples when she smiles, and who looks very innocent, came to our hotel about half an hour ago. After we told her we were full, she went to the door and happened to run into the old lady from the rural private inn trying to solicit guests," the hotel receptionist said to Gao Jianfei with a smile.
"A country inn? An old woman? Trying to lure someone? What's going on?" Gao Jianfei was anxious! Hearing the words "country inn" made his heart sink. Moreover, he felt even more sorry for Qin Leshi! She had traveled a long way to cheer him on, and now she was being forced to stay in a country inn—this made Gao Jianfei feel incredibly guilty! He vowed to find Qin Leshi tonight!
"What does 'countryside inn' mean?" Gao Jianfei asked anxiously.
The receptionist thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Is she your girlfriend?"
"Just give me a straight answer! Tell the truth!" Gao Jianfei said irritably. "What exactly is the concept of a 'countryside inn'?"
"Oh, let me tell you, those rural inns are just places run by villagers. The conditions are terrible, but the prices are ridiculously high—they're basically ripping you off! Your girlfriend was just taken there; it'll probably cost several hundred yuan a night," the receptionist said. She paused, then continued, "Also, the hygiene and security at rural inns aren't very good. After all, the people who stay there are a bit of a mixed bag. Your girlfriend is so beautiful, sir. Even if you two had a fight, you can't just kick a woman out. What if something happens to her? How can you face her? If you don't bring your girlfriend back tonight, you…you're not a real man!"
The female colleagues at the front desk, united on the same front, began to criticize Gao Jianfei.

Chapter 429 Sell Your Sister!
Gao Jianfei rushed to the airport and, after asking around at several hotels, finally learned that Qin Leshi, alone and dressed in thin clothes, had been tricked by an old woman from the countryside into going to a small rural inn!
This is outrageous!
The hotel receptionist berated Gao Jianfei. Only then did Gao Jianfei ask, "Miss, which district is that old woman who dragged my friend away from? Do you know the exact location of her hotel?"
"Well... I'm not quite sure about that." The waitress's big eyes rolled a few times before she analyzed, "However, it should be in the rural area around here. I saw them leave in a motorized tricycle, so if I'm not mistaken, it's in the nearby countryside."
"Okay, I understand." Gao Jianfei nodded.
Afterwards, Gao Jianfei left the hotel, took out his phone, and started making calls.
Call Zhou Chu of the Zhou family. The Zhou family's power base mainly lies in the national police system, especially in Beijing. Zhou Chu, as a key member of the Zhou family in the present day, wields considerable influence. Gao Jianfei had met Zhou Chu once before, and later, Gao Jianfei even shared a traditional Chinese medicine formula with the Zhou family. Therefore, the Zhou family has long considered Gao Jianfei one of their own.
"Mr. Zhou, hello, this is Gao Jianfei," Gao Jianfei said quickly after the call connected.
"Mr. Gao? Ah? Hahaha! I never expected Mr. Gao to call me personally, it's truly an honor!" Zhou Chu said enthusiastically on the other end of the phone. "Mr. Gao, Mr. Tang told me that you have a friend visiting Beijing, and you're currently picking him up. You'll come over to have drinks with us afterwards. Mr. Gao, has everything been settled?"
"Yes. After picking up my friend, I came over to meet everyone, but there's been a slight mishap. My friend was abducted by an old woman from the countryside and taken to a rural inn. We can't reach her by phone, so... Mr. Zhou, could you please send some police officers over to help me investigate the surrounding urban-rural fringe areas and rural areas?" Gao Jianfei also told Zhou Chu his current location.
Zhou Chu readily agreed, "Oh? That kind of rural inn? That's outrageous! I understand, Mr. Gao, I'll come over myself. Please wait here for a few minutes!"
After hanging up the phone, Gao Jianfei stood at the hotel entrance smoking, waiting for Zhou Chu.
The hotel's female staff members gathered in small groups, whispering amongst themselves about Gao Jianfei...
"This man is so strange. He's wearing a mask and sunglasses, like a secret agent."
"The beautiful woman who was just abducted by that old woman seems to be this man's girlfriend."
"That's disgusting, leaving his girlfriend to stay in a hotel all by herself."
"Look at him, he's still not in a hurry to find a girlfriend, he's still waiting here."
...
While waiting, Gao Jianfei looked around but didn't see any motorized tricycles. This made it impossible for him to find a clue. Now, he could only wait for the Zhou family to send some police officers to conduct a thorough search and crackdown on the surrounding rural inns!
After waiting for about ten minutes, suddenly, police sirens wailed all around!
"Hello? What's going on?" The hotel's female staff were all frightened. Judging from the commotion, at least a dozen police cars were heading this way!
"Damn! They're finally here!" Gao Jianfei flicked his cigarette butt away. Just then, several police cars pulled up right next to him.
The car door opened, and Zhou Chu, dressed in a crisp police uniform, stepped out. One after another, dozens of fully armed police officers emerged from the arriving patrol cars!
“Mr. Gao!” Although Gao Jianfei was wearing a mask and sunglasses, Zhou Chu still recognized him at a glance.
The two shook hands politely.
"Mr. Zhou, here's what happened. My friend was lured away by a hotel in the urban-rural fringe area and a rural area nearby. I can't quickly check all the hotels in these areas by myself, so I'm asking for your help." Gao Jianfei briefly explained the situation.
Zhou Chu, the director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, immediately ordered the numerous police officers who got out of the police car, "Set off immediately and conduct a thorough search of hotels in the nearby urban-rural fringe areas and rural areas!"
"Yes, sir!" The police officers jumped into their patrol cars and sped away.
“Mr. Gao, come with me!” Zhou Chu said to Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei nodded, and he and Zhou Chu got into a police car, which then drove off.
The area returned to tranquility after everyone had left.
The hotel's female staff members all spontaneously stood at the hotel entrance, sighing and lamenting to each other...
"So many police cars... Wow, that masked man has a lot of influence! Those rural hotels are going to be in trouble!"
…… …… ……
on the other hand.
After Qin Leshi entered the room, she quickly turned on the heater and the lights.
She sneezed weakly again; it seemed she really had caught a cold. Suddenly, her head felt dizzy, and when she touched her forehead, it was burning hot!
"Oh no, I have a fever!" Qin Leshi slumped weakly onto the bed, subconsciously looking around the room.
The single room was about ten square meters, with a separate bathroom. The walls were painted snow-white, and there was laminate flooring. There was an old 25-inch color TV, and the bed was quite large.
A room like this would normally cost only a few dozen yuan. But Qin Leshi paid 300 yuan for it. And it looks like she'll have to rent it for a month.
Qin Leshi shook her head helplessly.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Qin Leshi stood up from the bed.
Outside, there were none other than the two nouveau riche who coveted Qin Leshi's beauty: one was "Brother Dong," and the other was a burly man.
At this moment, Dong Ge said in a high-pitched voice, "Delivering hot water!"
Qin Leshi was traveling far from home for the first time and had little social experience. She walked over quietly, opened the door a crack, and was just about to take a look.
Surprisingly!
Two men outside forcefully pushed open the door!
Qin Leshi stumbled and was pushed to the ground!
"Bang!"
Two nouveau riche men barged in, slammed the door shut, and locked it from the inside!
Then, they looked at Qin Leshi with bloodshot eyes!
Qin Leshi's gentle and refined appearance, along with her curvaceous figure, immediately ignited the desires lurking in the hearts of these two nouveau riche!
They stuck out their scarlet tongues and licked their dry lips.
"Who...who are you? What do you want?" Qin Leshi shouted, a strong sense of foreboding rising in her heart!
"Hey girl, stop messing around. I'm here to have some fun with you. I won't treat you badly. I'm a decent guy." That 'Brother Dong' patted his bulging fanny pack, unzipped it, and pulled out a huge wad of crisp hundred-yuan bills, probably tens of thousands!
The more Dong Ge looked at Qin Leshi's helpless eyes, the more he liked her. He really couldn't wait any longer! He hurriedly put the money on the bedside table, and then... started taking off his clothes!
The nouveau riche who came in with Dong Ge also took out a wad of cash, put it on the bedside table, and then, while swallowing hard, squatted down, trying to help Qin Leshi up.
"Get out of my way!" Qin Leshi trembled and backed away!
"Stop messing around! It's all over, all that money is yours!" The nouveau riche grabbed Qin Leshi's left arm.
"Get lost!" Qin Leshi started kicking wildly, and the burly man pressed his knees directly onto Qin Leshi's calves, while his other hand reached out to grab Qin Leshi's right arm!
"Haha! Hai Zi, I see you can't wait any longer! You were hesitating just now!" Dong Ge laughed loudly, then squatted down and reached out to tease Qin Le Shi's chin.
Suddenly, Qin Leshi tilted her head and bit down hard on Hai Zi's right arm!
"Ah!" Hai Zi roared wildly, and his left hand instinctively slapped across the face!
"Slap!" Qin Leshi's right cheek was slapped so hard that it became red and swollen, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. She was slammed against the wall by the slap!
"Damn it! You bitch!" Hai Zi looked at his right hand, where Qin Leshi had bitten him, now bleeding profusely. Enraged, he lunged forward and grabbed Qin Leshi by the neck! "I'll fuck you to death, you bitch! You dare hit me?"
These two guys must have had too much to drink, otherwise they wouldn't be so arrogant!
