...

The car drove to the hotel lobby entrance, and then Li Yan heard the chaos, opening the car door, getting out, picking up things, footsteps sounded around him. At this moment, if someone dropped something, they might discover him.

Their speed was fast; from the sounds, it was clear that they brought some items into the hotel lobby.

Li Yan had very few options now; without even looking, there were surely people in the hotel lobby. Entering directly could easily expose him, and there were so many people blocking the entrance outside, he might be noticed once he left the cover of the car.

Of course, Li Yan wasn't too nervous. To him, this wasn't too much trouble. He calculated silently, estimating that those people had already left the lobby and entered the elevator. He carefully crawled out from under the car, using the car body as a shield to avoid being spotted. Once out, he quickly opened and closed the car door, pretending he had just stepped out, and then hurriedly chased into the lobby looking as if he had fallen behind.

Indeed, there were several security guards and staff in the lobby, but their attention was caught by the group of people who had just rushed in. They were whispering, and hearing the car door outside, seeing another person running inside, they didn't ask any more questions.

Li Yan, with his head down, ran directly to the elevator entrance. At this moment, no elevator was available; evidently, those people had arrived. As he hesitated to enter the elevator, a receptionist girl came over and whispered, "They went to the third floor."

Just in time! Li Yan thanked her and asked, "Can you take me there?"

"This..." The girl wanted to look at her superior, but as soon as the elevator opened, Li Yan already pulled her in. Then he pressed to the fifth floor.

"Wrong, it's the third floor." The girl was a bit nervous, but still noticed he pressed the wrong button.

Li Yan smiled, "Don't be nervous, I did it on purpose; I want to find a place to understand the situation better."

"Me?... Understand what? I don't know anything." The girl immediately looked at him warily.

The fifth floor quickly arrived, the elevator door opened, Li Yan pulled her out and directly headed to the stairwell.

"What do you want to do?" Being pulled into a stairwell by a stranger, the receptionist girl was more nervous. If she hadn't seen him get out of that car and believed he wasn't a bad person, she might have screamed by now.

Li Yan closed the door and patted her shoulder, gently saying, "Don't be nervous; I just want to understand some things so we can work better. I know your leaders surely told you not to say anything. It's precisely because of this we might not get the complete information, potentially affecting our rescue efforts. You seem scared too; speak out, you'll feel better."

"I... I don't know..." The girl's breathing quickened; she remained nervous.

Li Yan released her, looking at her rapidly breathing appearance, and asked softly, "Miss, do you feel less nervous now?"

"I, I..." The receptionist girl was a bit at a loss.

"Hehe, don't mind, I didn't mean to take advantage of you. It's because you're so pure that you're very nervous and scared; it greatly stresses you. I just diverted your mental focus, now you should feel better, right?" Li Yan said gently, observing her calm a bit before asking, "Tell me!"

"I... I don't know much, you can't say it was me who said it..."

"Of course, I'm just looking to understand the situation, you're helping us; how could I damage your work?"

The receptionist girl didn't dare to look at him, lowered her head, took a deep breath, and started speaking somewhat chaotically, "I heard... it was in the afternoon, we received a threat call saying someone brought in anthrax virus to spread in the hotel... the police knew too... might be threatened... later many executives came... police came too, eventually, this place was locked down, we couldn't go out, calls wouldn't go through, not allowed to leave..."

Anthrax? A rumor spread by misinformation? Li Yan frowned slightly, "How did this spread out?"

"I don't know either... anyway, quickly everyone said so... especially later when it was blocked externally, all guests were required to stay in their rooms... we were all very scared..."

Li Yan patted her face and comforted, "Don't worry, it will be okay, we will solve it. Tell me, are all your hotel's leaders on the third floor?"

"Don't know... just seems now they are temporarily in a conference room on the third floor... discussing and directing with the police probably."

She knew so much, mostly from rumors, Li Yan didn't ask further and accompanied her out, "Don't be scared, go down and be with your colleagues."

All guests were in their rooms, waiters didn't dare stay alone, everyone gathered together. So the corridor outside was very quiet, the two entered the elevator again, Li Yan got out on the third floor, letting the receptionist go down.

The third floor was totally different from the fifth floor he'd just seen; not only were there many people busy in the corridor, but also many on alert. When Li Yan came out, several police officers were watching him.

Li Yan, although he hadn't specifically dressed up, was somewhat scruffy after sneaking in, but before arriving here, he tidied himself and didn't look suspicious.

Seeing two police officers coming, he went forward quietly saying, "Comrade, I'm looking for our CEO, Paradise Group CEO Miss Zhang, I'm her assistant."

The police still looked at him with suspicion.

"Please report, Miss Zhang is here, I will wait here."

Seeing his honest appearance, knowing he could prove it immediately, the police didn't make it too difficult for him, one watching him and another going forward.

Minutes later, Li Yan heard the familiar "click-clack" of high heels, it was his wife Zhang Yurong's shoes.

When Zhang Yurong heard her assistant was outside looking for her, she paused slightly, very aware this was an imposter! Because her assistants and drivers were all female, there wouldn't be a male assistant, but since he could name her, he clearly had a motive and had inquired, she decided to act as bait, if unrecognized, have the police detain him as a suspect of releasing anthrax.

Walking over accompanied by the police, Zhang Yurong, coolly stunning everyone, yet daring not directly look at her.

"Li Yan?" Seeing Li Yan honestly leaning against the wall, Zhang Yurong couldn't help but called out in amazement. She thought the most probable was a suspect wanting to approach her or a guest with familiar friends, inquiring to meet her by claiming to be an assistant, but never expected it to be her husband Li Yan, far away at home.

Hearing her spontaneously call out the person's name, the police had nothing to say, withdrew.

Shocked remarkably, Zhang Yurong still maintained her strong woman calm aura, lightly saying, "Discuss upstairs!" Then directly headed to the elevator.

This wasn't the place to talk, Li Yan immediately followed along.
