Chapter 524 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (3)
The man paused for a moment, then realized that his presence here was part of a conspiracy.
He didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly jumped up to change his clothes.
Yan Zhen then quickly walked out of the room.
This is a presidential suite, and the living room of the suite is outside the room.
Yan Zhen walked to the door, opened it and peeked out, just in time to see the elevator door at the end of the corridor open, and Gao Shenghan and the two elders of the Yan family rushing over from the elevator.
She quickly pulled her head back.
It's too late to get out now—
I estimate that Gao Shenghan will arrive here with the original owner's parents in about twenty seconds.
Gao Shenghan orchestrated this elaborate scheme of catching the adulterers in bed, simply to exploit the guilt of the Yan family elders and make a hefty profit.
Now that Yan Zhen knew what he was planning, she was determined not to let him have his way.
Looking around, Yan Zhen's gaze fell on the living room balcony.
The hotel boasts a prime ocean view, with balconies on the 10th floor offering panoramic views of the distant beach. Yan Zhen made a quick decision, leaving the hotel suite door open and turning to walk onto the balcony.
Once on the balcony, Yan Zhen took off his shoes and climbed onto the railing.
At this moment, the man in the room came out dressed and immediately saw Yan Zhen climbing up the railing.
Realizing that the woman was about to commit suicide, the man shouted, "Hey! Don't be impulsive!" He rushed over, grabbed her waist from behind, and tried to pull her down.
Yan Zhen gripped the railing tightly with both hands. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Gao Shenghan and the two elders of the Yan family appear at the door. She cried out at the right moment, "Don't worry about me, let me die! Let me die!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Shenghan, who rushed to the door, and the two elders of the Yan family, the former's eyes lit up, while the latter immediately panicked.
Two elderly people, both over sixty, pushed aside Gao Shenghan who was blocking their way and rushed to the balcony: "Zhenzhen!"
"Come down quickly!"
The two elders of the Yan family, along with a man, used a combination of tactics: one held Yan Zhen's waist, another tried to pry her hands off the railing, and the third held her legs tightly, forcibly pulling her off the railing as she tried to commit suicide.
Yan Zhen struggled symbolically for a moment before letting go, and the four of them fell to the ground together.
The man was at the bottom, and Yan Zhen fell onto him. She turned to him, crying and yelling, "Why did you save me! Why did you have to meddle? If it weren't for you, I would be free now!"
Upon hearing Yan Zhen cry like that, the man subconsciously looked at the open hotel room door, and then realized why she was suddenly threatening to kill herself—to find a reasonable excuse for a man and a woman alone in the same hotel room.
If he was just passing by and happened to see her preparing to climb over the railing and jump, then rushing in to save her would clear up any ambiguity or suspicion.
He's just a concerned citizen now.
Realizing this, the man cooperatively replied, "Miss, life is only once, it can't be repeated. You're just going to jump like this, have you thought about what will happen to your family who love you?"
Yan's father nodded quickly: "Yes."
Mother Yan still clung to her daughter's leg, tears streaming down her face: "You heartless wretch! If you leave, how are your father and I supposed to live? What will happen to Xiaoyu and Shenghan?!"
"mom……"
Yan Zhen called out, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
Seeing this, Gao Shenghan, who had been ignored, bent down and picked Yan Zhen up from the ground: "Dad, Mom, let's go inside and talk. It's windy outside."
Yan Zhen was carried into the living room by Gao Shenghan and placed on the sofa. She looked up at him.
Gao Shenghan is forty years old this year, and she still maintains a very good figure.
Moreover, he used to be an actor, so his looks are undeniable. Plus, he has great taste in clothing. From his appearance, he's the kind of person who's still elegant and charming even in middle age, the kind of person you'd be proud to take out.
Overall, it's a vase that's been well-maintained.
Gao Shenghan took a tissue from the coffee table and wiped Yan Zhen's tears. When he turned to meet her scrutinizing gaze, he was slightly taken aback.
Yan Zhen took the tissue and lowered her head to wipe her tears, as if the look she had just given Gao Shenghan was just his imagination.
Gao Shenghan quickly came to his senses and remembered the purpose of bringing the two elders of the Yan family here. He paused for a moment and asked, "A-Zhen, what are you doing here?"
Yan Zhen feigned surprise and asked, "Didn't you bring me here?"
Gao Shenghan: "...It wasn't me. You had a few drinks last night and we had a little argument. I went out to calm down, and when I came back to my room, I found you were gone."
Yan Zhen looked puzzled: "I went to sleep after you left last night. When I woke up, I found myself here... I thought you had changed hotel rooms at the last minute."
Gao Shenghan's expression turned strange: "I didn't change hotel rooms... So who is this?"
As Gao Shenghan spoke, the eyes of the two elders of the Yan family turned to the man standing to the side with his hands at his sides.
The man remained expressionless: "I came to deliver something to my friend who lives next door. As I passed through the corridor, I saw that the door to the suite was open, and this woman had climbed onto the balcony as if she was about to commit suicide. Saving her was the priority, so I rushed in."
Upon hearing this, Yan's father immediately grasped the man's hand and shook it: "Young man, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my daughter might have..."
The man smiled slightly: "You're too kind. Acting bravely and righteously is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and it's what I should do."
Seeing his humility, Yan's father smiled and asked, "What's your name? Which company do you work for? I'd like to express my gratitude. Would you like a check or a gift?"
Man: "...Uncle, no need."
"Yes, if it weren't for you, our family wouldn't be complete."
Yan's mother also chimed in, "Yes, young man, you don't understand. Our children are our lives. You saved our lives, and this reward is what you deserve—Old Yan, write him a check for three million."
The man was stunned: "Three...three million?"
"Not enough? Then five million."
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" The man waved his hands frantically. "No need! Really, no need..."
"Take it," Yan Zhen suddenly said. "Thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be calm now, but lying downstairs missing limbs, cold and quiet."
man:"……"
He was silent for a few seconds, then his ears turned red when he spoke again, and he said awkwardly, "Then, thank you, Uncle, thank you, Aunt, thank you... Sister."
Yan Zhen raised an eyebrow slightly.
Gao Shenghan: "..."
Seeing things develop in an unexpected direction, Gao Shenghan coughed heavily.
Upon hearing this hint, Yan's father seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and pulled Gao Shenghan in front of the man: "Shenghan, what are you standing there for? Quickly thank this young man! If it weren't for him, your son wouldn't have a mother!"
Gao Shenghan: "..."
He met the man's strange gaze, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Just as she was about to steer the conversation toward "Yan Zhen cheating" and "this man is a home invasion rapist," she heard Yan Zhen ask her mother, "Mom, can you help me contact Aunt Chen?"
