Chapter 15: 15 Anxiety
Chapter Fifteen
"Manager Su, actually I..."
Long Xiaoshan wanted to continue explaining, but Su Wan angrily said, "Are you going to leave or not? If not, I'm calling for help."
"Manager Su, what's the matter?"
"Hey, kid, are you harassing Manager Su?"
"Daring to be disrespectful to Manager Su in front of me, Chen Gang, do you have a death wish?"
With Su Wan's beauty, there was no lack of suitors. Su Wan hadn't even called for help yet, and a swarm of 'flies' had already gathered around Long Xiaoshan on their own, eyeing him maliciously as if they were on steroids.
Seeing this crowd surrounding him, Long Xiaoshan was not afraid, but he knew it was no longer appropriate to stay.
Moreover, by the looks of it, Su Wan was even less likely to hire him now.
Long Xiaoshan shook his head and said to Su Wan, "I really am not lying to you. Take some time to go to the hospital for a brain CT scan..."
"You're saying Manager Su has a problem with her brain?"
A burly figure, at least one meter eighty-five tall, slapped at Long Xiaoshan. It was Chen Gang, who had been shouting the loudest earlier. He was also the head of security at Lily Hotel and was incredibly muscular from regularly working out at the gym.
"Chen Gang, don't get violent," said Su Wan.
A cry of pain was heard.
Su Wan was a little anxious. Although she didn't like Long Xiaoshan, she did not want a minor issue to result in someone getting hurt. With Chen Gang's strength, one slap could seriously injure someone.
But soon, she realized that the one who cried out in pain was actually Chen Gang.
Chen Gang was grimacing while holding his own hand.
And Long Xiaoshan had already slipped through the crowd and vanished in no time.
Long Xiaoshan ran out of the job market.
He felt somewhat dejected, having been busy all day and still ending up without a job.
Looking at the large clock on a distant shopping mall, it was nearly four o'clock. If he was any later, he wouldn't make it back. Long Xiaoshan thought of his sister, Long Xiaoling, who was still with Fang Fang, and he hurried to find her.
All he knew was that Fang Fang worked at the Grand Tycoon Hotel, but as for the location of the Grand Tycoon Hotel, he was not sure.
Long Xiaoshan asked a few people on the road and walked for another twenty to thirty minutes before he finally found the somewhat secluded Grand Tycoon Hotel.
As Long Xiaoshan entered the Grand Tycoon Hotel, something felt off to him. The hotel seemed too remote, and he was stopped before even entering the place. Two security guards, wielding batons and looking impatient, told Long Xiaoshan to leave.
From the tattoos peeking out of these men's sleeves, and their attitude, Long Xiaoshan found it strange. A hotel that's open for business, why would they hire these types of people for security?
Even though he was dressed shabbily, there was a limit to looking down on people.
Long Xiaoshan, with patience, said, "I'm looking for Fang Fang. She works here as a supervisor. Could you please inform her? Just say Long Xiaoshan is here to pick up my sister."
"Fang Fang." The two security guards looked at each other.
"You wait here, I'll go check."
One of the security guards went inside.
Long Xiaoshan had excellent eyesight. Although the entrance was far from the lobby, his gaze followed the security guard. He saw the guard walk into the lobby, and after a while, a familiar figure swaggered at the lobby entrance—it was Fang Fang.
But Fang Fang merely glanced towards the entrance then went back inside, while the guard turned back and roared at Long Xiaoshan, "We don't have anyone named Fang Fang here, get lost."
Long Xiaoshan's heart suddenly sank.
He had clearly seen Fang Fang at the entrance of the lobby just now, yet this security guard was blatantly lying to his face.
Moreover, Fang Fang knew he had come, so why didn't she come out? Instead, she let the security guard claim she didn't exist.
Long Xiaoshan already felt that something was amiss.
He didn't waste any more words and immediately headed inside.
No matter the situation, he had to find Fang Fang and get a clear explanation.
When the guards saw Long Xiaoshan actually attempting to barge in, a vicious look appeared on their faces. One of them, wielding a baton, charged at Long Xiaoshan, cursing, "You damn bumpkin, are you deaf? I told you there's no one named Fang Fang here, and you still dare to go inside?"
The security guard swung his arm, and the rubber baton whistled through the air, aiming for Long Xiaoshan's head.
The baton was specially made of rubber, guaranteed to knock someone unconscious if it struck the back of their head. Moreover, this guy was obviously experienced, striking with ease.
Long Xiaoshan sidestepped swiftly, dodging the baton, and chopped the guard's neck with his hand. The guard's eyes rolled back as he fainted to the ground.
"Elder Ya." The other security guard was startled to see his colleague taken down even with a sneak attack from behind. He realized that this country-dressed fellow was actually tough and quickly tried to call for help.
But Long Xiaoshan had already crouched and darted forward rapidly.
He was used to fighting in Lingxi Prison and knew that one couldn't hesitate at all; the opponent had to be knocked down as fast as possible, especially since this was enemy territory.
"He..." The guard barely got a syllable out before his vision went dark, and he dropped to the floor.
Long Xiaoshan took down both guards, grabbed their feet, and threw them into the nearby flowerbed, then hurried inside.
There were two hostesses at the entrance of the lobby. Long Xiaoshan kept his head down and walked in.
"Sir, are you a guest here?" Since the lobby was some distance from the main door, the hostesses had not seen Long Xiaoshan knock down the guards. Judging by his clothing, they were skeptical; Grand Tycoon Hotel was akin to a private club for the rich and noble, and Long Xiaoshan looked like a poor man at first glance.
"Where is Fang Fang?" Long Xiaoshan demanded sharply.
At that moment, a fierce aura and imposing manner burst from him.
Long Xiaoshan was once the top dog in Lingxi Prison. Under his wing, there were not only big businessmen like Lao Xu but also ruthless and delusional individuals who were willing to cluster around him and call him Brother Long, and it wasn't just because Long Xiaoshan was strong.
The two hostesses trembled. Under Long Xiaoshan's icy glare, they said fearfully, "Fang Fang seems to be inside."
Pointing in a direction, Long Xiaoshan immediately ran that way.
He was in luck, for he had just turned the corridor when he saw Fang Fang lingering nearby, her face seemingly wrought with worry.
"Fang Fang." Long Xiaoshan called out.
Hearing the voice, Fang Fang turned around, and upon seeing Long Xiaoshan, her complexion drastically changed, and she ran deeper inside. Long Xiaoshan immediately dashed after her, in a few steps catching up to her from behind. He grabbed her, demanding coldly, "Why are you running?"
"Brother Xiaoshan, how... how did you get in?" Fang Fang asked frightfully, hanging her head low, afraid to meet Long Xiaoshan's eyes.
"Never mind how I got in. I'm asking you now, where is my sister?" Long Xiaoshan pressed.
