Chapter 260 Found
He now seriously suspects that the Yu Chao in front of him has mental problems.
"Xiao Ran, why aren't you answering me?" Yu Chao looked at Xia Ran beside him and said gently, but his eyes were very cold, as if he would eat Xia Ran up if she didn't answer.
Xia Ran subconsciously took a step back in her chair.
"Senior, isn't it a bit too early for you to say this now?"
He really wanted to say that it was impossible, but he held back in the end.
If he really said that, Yu Chao might become even more extreme, and who knows what other terrible things he might do then.
"Is it early?" Yu Chao chuckled. "No, it's almost time, so Xiao Ran, you have to answer my question."
Xia Ran pursed his lips, looking at Yu Chao, whose face was gentle but whom he found terrifying, before answering.
"I'm fine with anything, I have no objections."
Yu Chao nodded, "Okay, then I'll arrange everything. See how good I am to you? I respect your opinion in every single thing."
"That Gu Zheng has never been this good to you, has he? Xiao Ran, it's better for you to stay by my side, right?"
Xia Ran certainly wouldn't say anything in rebuttal at this point; she could only give a perfunctory, soft "hmm."
Yu Chao was very satisfied with Xia Ran's compliance.
"As long as you behave well, I will treat you well. I will go and run a bath for you now, and then we will go to sleep."
Xia Ran's expression changed instantly upon hearing this, but with his hands tied behind his back, he couldn't do anything and could only watch helplessly as Yu Chao went into the bathroom.
Xia Ran stood up and walked to the French windows, observing the world outside.
This looks like a resort; apart from this bright spot, there are no signs of human habitation or lights anywhere else.
They were on a pretty high floor, and when he looked down, people on the floor below were playing around.
But no matter what, he couldn't call out to people below.
Yu Chao didn't know how he tied his hands, but no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.
Xia Ran walked around the room and found that there were no communication devices here.
Most hotel rooms have telephones, but this one didn't; Yu Chao must have hidden it.
Just as Xia Ran was pacing around the house, Yu Chao came out of the bathroom.
He looked at Xia Ran, a strange glint flashing in his eyes, but his gentle smile remained.
"What are you looking at?"
Yu Chao had his back to Xia Ran, and Xia Ran was immediately startled when she heard his words.
"N-nothing, just browsing."
Yu Chao: "Really? Then I'll take you to take a bath, and after you take a bath, you can go to sleep."
He was about to pull Xia Ran away when she dodged him.
"No, I'm not taking a shower!"
Seeing Xia Ran's expression, Yu Chao's eyes turned slightly cold as he spoke.
"Why won't you take a shower? Are you afraid of me?"
"No," Xia Ran retorted instinctively. "I just don't want to take a bath, Yu Chao. If you want me to take a bath, I won't do it unless you untie my hands."
“If you want to do something to me, I’ll just kill myself right here, Yu Chao. I’m telling you, I can tolerate being with you like this, but if you force me to do something, I really can’t accept it.”
Although Xia Ran's words had a somewhat affected tone, they were also the truth. He really couldn't let Yu Chao do this or that.
Yu Chao looked at Xia Ran's stubborn eyes and remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"Okay, then I won't take a shower."
The implication was that he would never let go of Xia Ran's hand.
Xia Ran felt a little disappointed, but she was also relieved.
He had just been thinking that if Yu Chao was willing to let go of his hand and let him take a bath, then he would be able to leave.
But it's alright now, at least Yu Chao won't help him take a bath, which relieves him of his worries.
"If you're not going to take a shower, let's go to sleep. It's getting late, and you must be tired, right?"
Yu Chao wanted to take Xia Ran to take a bath, but Xia Ran immediately avoided him.
"No, I'm used to staying up late, I want to watch TV."
There's only one room and one bed here. If they were to sleep, the two of them would definitely share the bed, but he wouldn't dare.
How could Yu Chao not understand Xia Ran's words?
Anyway, they have plenty of time now, and he doesn't mind driving slowly, since he will respect Xia Ran's opportunity.
"Okay, let's watch TV then, I'll keep you company."
Yu Chao led Xia Ran to the sofa and sat down, then turned on the TV.
What TV show do you want to watch?
"I'm fine with anything," Xia Ran replied.
He didn't really want to watch TV; he just wanted to stall for time.
However, Yu Chao began to select the games very carefully, even asking Xia Ran for her opinion every time he opened one.
Xia Ran was very perfunctory, responding with "uh-huh" no matter what was asked.
Yu Chao's gentle expression gradually crumbled.
"Xiao Ran, you're just brushing me off. Do you really not want to be with me? You didn't even intend to watch TV with me, were you just trying to stall for time, right?"
Xia Ran's expression froze for a moment, then she shook her head. "No, no, I just think every TV show is pretty good."
"Is that so?" Yu Chao lifted Xia Ran's chin, making her face him.
Xia Ran could only nod, suppressing her emotions.
"Yes, I'm not lying to you. Just find one you like, I can watch any of them."
Upon hearing Xia Ran's words, Yu Chao's face once again broke into a gentle smile.
"good."
Xia Ran looked at Yu Chao, whose emotions were constantly changing, and sighed heavily in her heart.
He really couldn't do anything about Yu Chao, and he really couldn't understand why a perfectly good person would turn out like this.
Time ticked by, and Gu Zheng and Da Zhuang hurried over.
They haven't called the police yet because they don't know the specifics of what happened. What if Xia Ran knew about it?
They found the hot spring resort based on the address they found. Coincidentally, the hot spring resort also had a cooperative relationship with the Gu family, so Gu Zheng made a phone call and they agreed to let him check the guest registration.
Even if Yu Chao brings Xia Ran here secretly, they still need to register with their ID cards.
Gu Zheng directly gave Xia Ran and Yu Chao's names, and the front desk staff quickly found the information.
"In room 901 on the ninth floor."
Chapter 261 Obedience
Upon receiving the address, Gu Zheng and Da Zhuang went up immediately, followed by several bodyguards.
Gu Zheng and Da Zhuang were both acquaintances of Yu Chao, so they didn't dare to go up and knock on the door to call for help. Instead, they sent the unfamiliar bodyguards up.
When they knocked on the door, Yu Chao and Xia Ran were still watching TV.
Yu Chao immediately became alert, while Xia Ran became more anxious.
As long as someone comes, he has a chance to escape.
Yu Chao was acutely aware of Xia Ran's subtle emotions. He reached out and touched the top of Xia Ran's head, saying...
"Don't worry, no one will come in, don't worry."
Xia Ran's face stiffened, and she didn't say a word.
Yu Chao chuckled softly again for no apparent reason, then got up and walked towards the door.
But as he turned around, his gaze instantly turned cold.
He had already instructed the front desk during the day that there was a patient in his room, so they should not come up to disturb him and that he did not need any services.
Someone is ringing the doorbell now; it's probably not someone from the hotel.
so………
Yu Chao turned around and went back to Xia Ran.
Seeing Yu Chao suddenly return, Xia Ran felt a bad premonition.
"Xiao Ran, I'll take you back to your room."
This is a suite; what they are in is what serves as a living room, with the bedroom located at the far end.
Upon hearing this, Xia Ran thought to herself, "Just as I expected."
"But I haven't finished watching my TV show yet."
Xia Ran didn't want to go back to his room, because once he did, he would have no chance to escape.
"It's okay, you can watch TV slowly, but you have to go back to your room now, be a good boy/girl."
Yu Chao pulled Xia Ran directly back to her room, and Xia Ran had no choice but to follow him.
Gu Zheng's expression outside the door grew increasingly cold. He had been knocking on the door for so long, why hadn't he come to open it yet?
They had already asked the front desk and checked the security footage when they came up. Yu Chao went out for a while and has already come back, so there is someone in the room.
Gu Zheng's expression remained cold and indifferent. He dared not think about what might happen after Yu Chao had brought Xia Ran to this room for so long.
But now they could only wait for the people inside to come out and open the door, not daring to make any rash moves, for fear that if they did anything, it would make Yu Chao harm Xia Ran.
Xia Ran was led to a room by Yu Chao and made to sit down. Yu Chao was much more wary and took the tape and a long strip of cloth directly from her.
