As the four returned to the hotel, the situation inside the suite shocked them before they had a chance to announce the good news.

When they opened the door–inside the same suite Zheng stayed in the night before–they heard the screams of two men.

“Don’t, don’t come over! Gun, right, I have a gun…” This was Renjia’s voice.

“Don’t drag me inside. I didn’t see anything. Don’t drag me in…” This was Ding’s sobbing.

All the lights were turned on, the TV was also on and at maximum volume. Fortunately, the room had good soundproofing and didn’t attract any employees over. The two young men were sitting together in the center of the carpet. One of them pointed a gun at the door with a pair of trembling hands.

Zheng and Jie sprinted toward him at the same time and grabbed the gun before he could fire it.

It wasn’t until now that the two young men realized who these four people were. Renjia grabbed Zheng’s leg and started crying while Ding curled up on the floor.
