This Witch Transmigrated into the Romantic Novel's Supporting Role

Chapter 185: Come Over

Chapter 185

The man wore a mask and a hat, with his face obscured. Chi Yan checked the time - 2:48 am, almost 3 o'clock. The man knocked on the door twice, but no one answered. Then he took out a lock-picking tool from his pocket.

!!!

Chi Yan immediately recalled Chu Yang's warning: call the police immediately if a stranger knocks on the door! Chi Yan first barricaded the door, then hurried into the bathroom and dialed 110. "Hello? Is this 110? I'm at the Guiling Grand Hotel. There's a strange man trying to break into my room door."

"Yes, please come quickly."

On the other side, the door had been forced open, but the man couldn't push it further and seemed perplexed. Meanwhile, Chi Yan ran to the bedside and tried to call the hotel service, but the line was busy.

This was a targeted attack!

Chi Yan quickly realized that the man soon realized someone was barricading the door from the inside and started violently ramming the door! The noise was loud, but no one from the neighboring rooms came out.

Chi Yan then remembered that when checking in, the staff had arranged for him to stay on the 7th floor, while other guests were on the 6th floor. Everything had been arranged in advance.

The man outside kept ramming but couldn't break the door. Then another man appeared, carrying a silenced handgun. After two "pops", the door was blasted open. As the two men tried to rush in, a chair came flying at them, catching them off guard. Chi Yan then kicked each of them, and when he saw one man holding a gun, his eyes narrowed and he quickly snatched it away while the man was distracted!

"Don't move!"

The two men on the floor instantly raised their hands.

Chi Yan kept the gun pointed at them, his expression tense and focused.

When he heard people coming - the police - Chi Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The two men were arrested by the police, and Chi Yan was taken in for questioning as well.

At that moment, Chu Yang was still on the plane.

Chi Yan's questioning was still ongoing when Lu Shu hurried over, showing the police his ID card and bringing a lawyer along.

"Young Master!"

"Yes. Please take care of the rest."

"Understood."

Having been attacked late at night, Chi Yan immediately suspected two forces were involved. The first was their business rival, the Ji Company, but Ji Company would never dare such a brazen attack. So it must be the second force, the Zuoyou Group, which had tried to capture him multiple times before. Chu Yang had previously provided some information to the police, severely damaging Zuoyou Group's influence domestically.

But they hadn't been completely destroyed, so now they were trying to strike back? Targeting him?

Chi Yan's guesses were correct. With Zuoyou Group's power crippled in Jing City, they hadn't expected Chi Yan to come to Cangrong City, where they still had some influence left. So they quickly planned this operation.

What they didn't expect was that the target seemed to have been forewarned, reporting to the police in advance and having such formidable combat skills, catching them completely off guard. Their mission failed, and they ended up being the ones to suffer losses instead.

After landing, Chu Yang rushed to Chi Yan's new hotel. In the car, she kept calling him, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

Chi Yan was still a bit shaken, but reassured Chu Yang, "I'm fine. Lu Shu has already arranged bodyguards for me. Don't worry. When will you get here? Are you tired?"

Chu Yang: "I'll arrive around 5:30 am."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Mm-hmm."

When Chu Yang arrived at Chi Yan's room, two men in black suits were standing guard. One of them asked, "Are you Miss Chu Yang?"

Chu Yang nodded, and they knocked on the door. Chi Yan opened it and pulled her inside, closing the door and embracing her. "You're here."

"Yes." Chu Yang hugged him back briefly, then let go to examine him. The negative energy around him hadn't dissipated yet, meaning those bad people would likely strike again.

However, Chu Yang was very tired now. She pulled Chi Yan to the bed. "I'll sleep for a bit first. Call me if you're going out."

Chi Yan climbed into bed and hugged her. "I'll sleep too."

Meanwhile, Lu Shu had returned from the police station and wanted to update Chi Yan, but the bodyguard told him, "Miss Chu Yang is inside."

Lu Shu had known since working for Chi Yan that Chu Yang was the young master's girlfriend. As for why she was here now, she was probably worried about the young master.

Lu Shu didn't knock and decided to wait until the next day. He rubbed his eyes, never expecting such an incident during a business trip, and went to rest.

Chu Yang slept until after 9 am, only waking up when she heard some voices. She saw Chi Yan bringing in breakfast.

Seeing Chu Yang sitting up, Chi Yan set down the breakfast and kissed her cheek. "You're awake? Wash up and have breakfast."

"Okay."

After eating, Lu Shu came to report on last night's events. "It was indeed Zuoyou Group's people. The police have formed a special task force to root out their remaining influence in Cangrong City... By the way, the meeting originally scheduled for this morning has been postponed to 2:30 pm, and there's a cocktail party in the evening."

Chi Yan thought for a moment. "I'll skip the party. We can head over a little after 1 pm." He wanted to spend the evening with Chu Yang.

"Very well."

After Lu Shu left to prepare the materials, Chu Yang asked, "You have to go out this afternoon?"

Chi Yan nodded. "Yes, there's a meeting." After the meeting and signing the contract, the business here would be concluded. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him. "Would you like to come with me? I can have someone bring you a formal outfit."

Chu Yang shook her head. "I'll skip your meeting." She wasn't directly involved, so there was no need to attend, but...

"When you go out this afternoon, I'll come along. I sense there will be more trouble later. Once everything is settled, I'll go out on my own." There was no point in hiding - those people were waiting for her! She absolutely wouldn't allow anything bad to happen to Chi Yan again!

Hearing there would be more trouble, Chi Yan said seriously, "From those same people?"

Chu Yang nodded. "Probably."

Chi Yan picked up his phone. "Then I'll call in some more bodyguards."

Chu Yang agreed. "You should stay close to your bodyguards from now on."

Chi Yan didn't say it, but Chu Yang also felt the need. He felt like he really did tend to find himself in dangerous situations often.

After finishing their meal, because they were afraid of potential danger outside, Chi Yan didn't take Chu Yang out to play. Chu Yang also didn't feel like playing, "You go ahead and work, I'll just keep you company."

"Okay. If you get bored, you can play games on my phone. My company has some small games on it that I actually think are quite fun. This one, I actually made it myself when it first started."

Hearing that Chi Yan had made it, Chu Yang got a little excited, then took Chi Yan's phone and started playing the game, while Chi Yan looked over some materials and typed on his keyboard next to him.
