Chapter 71 Is it still too late?

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan... where are you?"

Chu Lingtian's heart sank when he didn't find Guo Xiaoyan in the private room's restroom. His premonition grew worse.

He hastily searched under the private room's table, behind the curtains, and almost every corner, but still, Guo Xiaoyan was nowhere to be found.

The situation was now extremely urgent. Guo Xiaoyan had been drugged with an aphrodisiac. He could tell from their earlier phone call that she couldn't hold on much longer. The drug's effects were escalating, and her control over her mind and body was on the verge of collapse. If she wasn't in the restaurant anymore, she must have been taken away by that so-called Mr. Sun.

At this moment, the longer it took to find Guo Xiaoyan, the greater the danger of her being violated.

After a moment's thought, Chu Lingtian rushed out of the private room and into the public restroom on the same floor, heading directly into the women's restroom.

*Bang!*

The thought of Guo Xiaoyan, such a pure and innocent girl, having just graduated from university and started her internship, only to be corrupted by society and violated within days, and how much pain and despair she must be feeling, made Chu Lingtian even more anxious. He kicked open the door of a stall.

Empty. Chu Lingtian then pushed open three more stalls with his hand.

"Ah..."

"What are you doing, you pervert!"

"Bastard, how dare you, a man, barge into the women's restroom to spy on women peeing! Someone help, catch the pervert!"

To his surprise, there were women in all three stalls squatting to urinate. They were all in a panic, angry and ashamed. As they quickly stood up and pulled up their pants, they cursed at Chu Lingtian.

Seeing that none of the women in these three stalls were Guo Xiaoyan, Chu Lingtian ignored their scolding and kicked open the door of the last stall. It was also empty.

"Damn it!"

Chu Lingtian cursed inwardly, his heart filled with anxiety.

If he couldn't find Guo Xiaoyan in the entire restaurant, she must have been forcibly taken away by that man named Mr. Sun.

And Guo Xiaoyan had been secretly drugged with an aphrodisiac, with someone intending to turn this pure university student into an incredibly promiscuous temptress in bed. What awaited her after being taken away was something anyone could imagine.

Suddenly, as if a thought struck him, Chu Lingtian quickly ran back to the previous private room, 666, and went to the door of the restroom again.

Seeing that the door lock of this restroom was severely damaged, he instantly knew it had been forced open by external force. Chu Lingtian clenched his fists tightly, turned, and walked quickly towards the restaurant's main entrance, continuously dialing Guo Xiaoyan's phone number.

"Hello, the number you have dialed is switched off."

Chu Lingtian's right hand clutched his phone, his heart sinking further. His eyes turned chilling, emitting a terrifying killing intent, and he muttered in a cold voice:

"If anything happens to Guo Xiaoyan, I will find every single one of you who participated in persecuting her and make you wish you were dead, unable to live or die!"

*Crackling!*

As Chu Lingtian just arrived in the restaurant's lobby, he was surrounded by several security guards.

"Sir, someone reported you for trespassing into the women's restroom and peeping. Please wait here for the police to arrive."

A leading security guard, holding a baton, glared at Chu Lingtian and said sternly.

Chu Lingtian said coldly, "I don't have time to waste here. Tell me, have you seen a pure and beautiful young girl who looked drunk and might have been speaking incoherently, and was forcibly taken away?"

"What is your relationship to this girl?" the cheongsam-clad beauty at the restaurant's service desk asked in return.

"We are colleagues from the same company," Chu Lingtian replied.

"Then I'm very sorry, but you are not related to this girl, so we cannot provide you with her specific situation," the cheongsam beauty said.

"You must tell me!"

As Chu Lingtian spoke, he quickly walked towards the cheongsam beauty.

The leading security guard angrily shouted, "Stop him!"

*Swish!*

*Bang!*

Chu Lingtian kicked the leading security guard's shoulder, sending him flying more than two meters away.

He couldn't afford to waste another second. Guo Xiaoyan, who had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, had been forcibly taken away, and might be being violated at this very moment...

"Beat him!"

The leading security guard, unable to get up from the ground in pain, quickly ordered the other security personnel to attack Chu Lingtian.

*Whoosh!*

The remaining three security guards rushed towards Chu Lingtian, but without exception, they were all kicked flying by Chu Lingtian, falling to the ground and unable to get up.

The men and women who witnessed this scene were all dumbfounded, none of them expecting that Chu Lingtian, who appeared ordinary on the surface, possessed such powerful and terrifying combat skills.

"Tell me, who took away the pure and beautiful girl from private room 666 on the sixth floor? In which direction did they go?"

Chu Lingtian walked up to the cheongsam-clad female server, his eyes chilling like a wolf's, and asked in a deep voice.

The cheongsam-clad female server was so frightened by Chu Lingtian's power that she was about to wet herself. She quickly replied, "Yes, she was taken away by a bald, middle-aged, fat man. They walked to the left after leaving. That middle-aged fat man seemed to be calling the hotel to book a room."

"Did you hear the hotel's name?" Chu Lingtian pressed urgently.

"I didn't hear very clearly, only the word 'love'..." the cheongsam-clad female server shook her head, frowning.

"Love hotel?"

Chu Lingtian's heart leaped. Everyone knew that love hotels had many toys for BDSM. If Guo Xiaoyan was taken to a love hotel by a bald, middle-aged, fat man, he could imagine how terribly she would be tormented.

He quickly asked again, "Is there a love hotel nearby?"

"There is one, just to the left of the exit, about a kilometer away," the cheongsam-clad female server nodded.

*Whoosh!*

Chu Lingtian darted out in a flash. He thought that the bald, middle-aged, fat man must have taken Guo Xiaoyan to the nearest love hotel, because that way, there might still be time to save Guo Xiaoyan and prevent her from being played with and violated.

Otherwise, with such a large city like Changchang, and so many love hotels, searching them one by one might not even find Guo Xiaoyan by dawn. By the time she was found, he could imagine what kind of state she would have been reduced to.

Just as Chu Lingtian rushed out of the restaurant lobby, a military jeep stopped at the main entrance of the restaurant, followed by a military green vehicle that could seat ten people.

A burly soldier got out of the passenger seat of the military jeep and walked into the restaurant. Less than a minute later, he came back out.

The burly soldier got back into the passenger seat of the military jeep and turned to respectfully report to Xiao Yuanshan, who was in the back seat, "Commander, that kid named Chu Lingtian should have gone to the love hotel not far from here."

"Love hotel? He really is a lewd pervert!" shouted Xiao Lengyue, who was sitting next to Xiao Yuanshan, her phoenix eyes wide with anger.

Xiao Yuanshan waved his hand and commanded dominantly, "Everyone go to this love hotel and surround it. We must capture this kid Chu Lingtian tonight at all costs! He must apologize to my daughter!"
