As he was racking his brain, Xiao Yun pushed the door open and entered the room.
She thought Guo Xuyang hadn't woken up yet, so she tiptoed in.
When they booked the room, it was for both her and Guo Xuyang, and naturally, she had a room card.
She went to the bedside and suddenly pulled back the blanket.
To her surprise, Elena was underneath, and she froze.
Elena was still sound asleep, her naked body incredibly alluring, but Xiao Yun had no mood to appreciate this beautiful physique.
Why was Elena in Guo Xuyang's room?
And where had Guo Xuyang gone?
Had the two of them slept together last night?
She refused to admit this fact.
But reality was right before her eyes, and what could she do whether she admitted it or not.
However, she felt a sense of being evened out, a feeling that though she had lost her virginity, the other party was in the same situation, so no one was at a disadvantage.
This thought of hers was truly ridiculous.
But she herself didn't think so.
When Xiao Yun entered the room, Guo Xuyang had already gone down for breakfast.
What had happened had happened, and explaining it was useless. They were adults anyway, and he believed Elena wouldn't blame him too much.
Even if she did, he would compensate her financially. He figured Elena wouldn't pester him to marry her.
After all, foreigners were generally perceived as more open-minded. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sought him out for a drink in the middle of the night.
While things were in disarray here, Lu Liang had already contacted Kexi.
"Kexi, this is not a decent thing to do, is it?"
"Mr. Lu, may I ask what this early morning call is about? Which matter is not decent?"
"Let's not play dumb. Was it you who arranged for Elena to be kidnapped?"
"You're wrongly accusing me. What's our relationship? Good partners. Could I do such a thing?"
"The most reliable information I've received is that you arranged for Hughes to do it."
"No, no, how could I play such a trick on my good partner? If there's anything, I'll tell you face-to-face. There's no need for such underhanded tactics."
"So, Hughes acted on his own initiative?"
"Could I give you a call to find out the specific situation and then get back to you? I haven't seen him in a while."
"Alright then. I'll wait for your call."
Lu Liang hung up the phone, thinking it was a lie.
You old scoundrel are truly wicked.
It would be a miracle if he could contact Hughes.
He had already arranged for someone to control Hughes.
After hanging up Lu Liang's call, Kexi called Hughes. The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. He then called Guelph.
"Go and check on Hughes's situation. No one is answering my calls."
"Perhaps he drank too much yesterday and hasn't woken up yet?" Guelph said.
"Please go and see, and call me back as soon as possible. Lu Liang called just now, questioning if I arranged for the kidnapping, which I denied. Find Hughes and have him release the girl as soon as possible. I don't want any mistakes."
"Rest assured, he's sensible in his dealings. I'll go and check right away." Guelph hung up the phone and went out.
When he arrived at the Speer Winery, he found it extremely quiet.
He realized something was amiss and told his companions to be vigilant as they entered the winery.
The winery looked as if it had suffered a catastrophe. All the wine barrels were gone, with only a few scattered bottles lying askew on the ground.
Not a single worker was seen inside. Not only the workers, but Hughes and his subordinates were also nowhere to be found.
Guelph panicked. He didn't know what had happened to Hughes and quickly called Kexi.
"Boss, Hughes is gone. His winery was robbed, and all the wine barrels are missing."
"What? What did you say? Hughes's winery was robbed? Where is he?"
"There's no one around here. Not a soul was seen in the entire winery. Hughes is also missing."
"How is that possible? Have you searched again? Could it be Lu Liang and his people?"
"I'll search again, boss. Call Lu Liang later and see if he did it."
Kexi found it unbelievable. He didn't know exactly how much wine the entire winery held, but he knew it was a substantial amount. The entire winery held no less than two hundred tons of wine, with years of storage kept in the cellar. This wine couldn't be moved in a short time.
It was impossible to leave no trace.
He believed Guelph would definitely find out.
While Kexi waited anxiously, Elena woke up at the Sun City Hotel.
She shook her heavy head and stretched.
She had slept soundly.
She had a very pleasant conversation with Guo Xuyang yesterday. She hadn't expected Xiao Yun to be the sister of Lu Liang's girlfriend. No wonder Guo Xuyang kept her at arm's length; they weren't even in a romantic relationship.
Later, with a little teasing, she had managed to win him over. She hadn't expected him to be so easy to conquer.
She couldn't help but scoff inwardly.
They said Eastern men were mysterious, but in bed, they were the same.
As she was savoring the memory, she suddenly noticed Xiao Yun standing beside her, glaring at her.
"Hi, Miss Xiao, good morning." She greeted her.
"You slept with him?" Xiao Yun asked, gritting her teeth.
"Oh, what are you talking about? Yesterday, seeing that you were asleep, I came over for a couple of drinks with Mr. Guo. Afterwards, I drank too much and don't remember. Mr. Guo isn't here, is he?" Elena looked around, of course, she wouldn't admit it.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course. I drank too much and just woke up. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw you."
"Then how do you know Yangzi didn't sleep here? If he didn't sleep here, where else would he sleep?"
"You should ask Mr. Guo about that. Whether he slept in the living room or went to another room, how would I know?" Elena said.
"Miss Xiao, you're not Mr. Guo's girlfriend yet, are you? Even if something happened between him and me, you have no right to inquire. Don't you think so?"
These words infuriated Xiao Yun, and she turned to leave. She couldn't understand why this woman would shamelessly say such things.
Were all foreign women so shameless?
"Yangzi, where are you now?" Xiao Yun angrily dialed Guo Xuyang's number.
"I'm having breakfast. Who has upset you now?" Guo Xuyang said immediately upon hearing the wrong tone in her voice.
"You've upset me. We're going back. We're not staying here anymore. What kind of people did Lu Liang find? They're specifically here to anger me."
"Alright then. I'll be back now. Wait for me."
Guo Xuyang rushed back to the room and saw Elena just coming out of the bathroom.
He couldn't help but blush.
During breakfast, he remembered everything that had happened last night.
