Chapter 311 - 309: That Man Is Back Again
After Chen Tianlong returned to the room, he placed Wu Mengting on the bed, looked at her haggard face, took a deep breath, then closed the door and went to Liu Ting’s room.
"Liu Ting, I’m sorry for dragging you here to suffer with me," Chen Tianlong said with a sense of relief, suddenly feeling a bit guilty for how much Liu Ting had sacrificed for him.
"Hehe, Chen Tianlong, don’t say that, we’re friends, helping you is only right."
At this point, Liu Ting felt her relationship with Chen Tianlong had grown a bit closer, and for some inexplicable reason, her face felt a little warm.
"I see, then thank you!" Chen Tianlong reverted to his usual cheerful self. At this point, the only thing left to do was to make a trip to Ice City to find the Ice Spirit Fruit and give it a try.
After chatting for a bit, Chen Tianlong left the room.
After Chen Tianlong left, Liu Ting took a deep breath, the budding feelings of love could only be buried deep in her heart for now, to be slowly reminisced upon later.
Around five o’clock in the morning, Chen Tianlong sensed some activity outside the hotel. He quickly got up, opened the window, and saw that there were five or six police cars parked outside.
It must be that burly policeman coming back for revenge.
Thinking for a moment, Chen Tianlong directly picked up Wu Mengting, then came to Liu Ting’s door and knocked a few times, while Liu Ting had not been asleep at all. She is a girl who takes a while to adjust to a new bed, felt uncomfortable staying in a new place, and knowing about Chen Tianlong having a girlfriend today messed up her mood, so she didn’t sleep all night.
Hearing the knock, Liu Ting didn’t turn on the light, but instead walked up to the door in her pajamas, softly asking, "Who is it?"
"Liu Ting, it’s me! Chen Tianlong!"
From outside came that familiar voice, and knowing it was Chen Tianlong, Liu Ting was about to turn on the light and get dressed before opening the door, but instead she heard Chen Tianlong say, "Don’t turn on the light, just let me in now!"
Hearing this, Liu Ting had some thoughts. What did he mean by not turning on the light? Was he trying to sneak into her room under the cover of darkness to do something?
Thinking about this, Liu Ting’s heart began to race, and her face started feeling hot, clearly quite excited.
"Nie... Chen Tianlong, isn’t this inappropriate? Can’t we turn on the light?"
"Liu Ting, there’s no time, the police will be here soon."
Chen Tianlong, with his forehead lined with worry, didn’t understand what this girl was saying and quickly said.
"What? Police?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ting instantly understood, hurriedly opened the door. Chen Tianlong rushed in carrying Wu Mengting, surprising her.
Though the room was dark, she wasn’t wearing her undergarments, and if Chen Tianlong were to notice, it would be incredibly embarrassing!
"Liu Ting, quickly get dressed, we might have to escape soon. That policeman from last night brought many people, and if they catch us, we’ll lose time to treat Mengting."
When Chen Tianlong said this, he felt a bit frustrated. He had anticipated this result but didn’t expect them to act at five in the morning.
"Okay, I understand."
Liu Ting ran to the bed, quickly changed clothes like a whirlwind, then grabbed a small bag and came over, "All set, Chen Tianlong!"
"That fast?"
Chen Tianlong was taken aback, glanced at Liu Ting’s outfit.
In fact, Chen Tianlong had already seen Liu Ting’s outfit earlier; being an assassin, he has trained eyes that can see clearly even in the dark.
So when he saw that Liu Ting wasn’t wearing anything at first but now was fully dressed, including changing into a shirt and pants, he realized she was indeed skilled.
"Huh? Chen... Chen Tianlong, let’s leave quickly, the police will be here soon."
Liu Ting blushed, seemingly understanding, and immediately changed the topic.
Chen Tianlong didn’t plan to tease her, holding Wu Mengting, he exited the door, with Liu Ting following closely behind carrying a small backpack. But as they were about to go downstairs, they saw a group of people rushing in at the hotel entrance.
With no other option, Chen Tianlong had to lead Liu Ting back to the room.
This was the third floor, not too far from the ground. Normally, Chen Tianlong could jump down without any issues, but with two women by his side, one of whom was unconscious, it wasn’t feasible.
Chen Tianlong quickly assessed the room. Besides a bedsheet, the curtains were the only things that could be used.
"Liu Ting, quickly get the bedsheet!"
Without explanation, Chen Tianlong instructed directly.
"Ah? Oh, alright!" Liu Ting didn’t question much, knowing the situation was urgent, she swiftly walked to the bed and grabbed the bedsheet.
By this time, Chen Tianlong had already taken down the large curtain on the window. He pulled out a delicate dagger from his shoe, and with a few swift slashes, cut the curtain skillfully.
Watching this, Liu Ting was stunned and curiously asked, "Chen Tianlong, why do you carry a knife with you?"
"Oh, it’s a hobby!"
Chen Tianlong frowned slightly, realizing he had indeed slipped up, as normal people wouldn’t carry a knife in their shoe. Luckily, Liu Ting didn’t dwell on it or ask further.
In no time, Chen Tianlong formed a roughly six-meter-long fabric rope, then walked to the window and punched the glass with his fist.
With a "thump," the tempered glass made a muffled sound, then cracked.
This was tempered glass, which normally would crack rather than shatter.
Chen Tianlong quickly threaded the fabric rope through the crack, tied it to the window frame, gave it a strong tug to ensure it was secure, then said to Liu Ting, "Liu Ting, come over here. You can slide down this rope; it’s not far down and it’s just a patch of clean grass, no need to be scared."
"Mm-hmm..."
Liu Ting was clearly obedient, without further ado, she pushed the window open, gripped the rope, and slowly slid down. In no time, she reached the ground.
Chen Tianlong looked below, seeing Liu Ting was safe, he felt great relief.
But just at that moment, the door suddenly made a loud bang, seemingly kicked but still not broken open.
Thus, without further delay, Chen Tianlong picked up Wu Mengting, climbed out the window, grabbed the rope with one hand, held Wu Mengting with the other, wrapped his legs once around the rope, and quickly slid down...
The movement was fluid like flowing water, leaving Liu Ting on the ground in awe, reminding her of a certain profession.
"Chen Tianlong, are you a soldier?"
Liu Ting timidly asked.
"Shh!"
At this moment, Chen Tianlong noticed someone from the third floor starting to look outside the window, and hurriedly gestured for silence. Liu Ting quickly understood and, under Chen Tianlong’s guidance, hid in a corner.
Indeed, just as the three of them hid, they saw the room’s lights above being turned on, and a few people shone flashlights down.
"Captain, there’s something here, it looks like a rope!" someone suddenly called out.
