I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 118 Hotel

"I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything. Bye-bye."

After saying goodbye to Ren Tangyi, Caiyi took out his phone and called Xiao Baihua.

Surprisingly, the call did not go through.

She frowned and tried again, but still couldn't get through.

"Strange..." Cai Yi muttered to himself, guessing that Xiao Baihua might be on a mission and unable to answer the phone.

I was planning to have Xiaobaihua treat me to dinner, but it looks like I'll have to figure out what to eat by myself tonight.

As night fell, the streets were brightly lit. Caiyi, with milk tea in his left hand and a skewer of grilled meat in his right, strolled along the bustling street.

As she walked, she came to a pedestrian bridge, stood on it, and looked down at the bustling city night view.

It was early November, and the cold wind was biting and howling.

Cai Yi, dressed in thin clothes, couldn't help but sneeze.

She rubbed her nose. Winter was almost here, and the nights in this awful weather were really cold!

After crossing the overpass, Caiyi saw a small stall selling oden by the roadside.

The steaming hot oden smelled incredibly tempting. After finishing his grilled skewers and milk tea, Caiyi couldn't resist the temptation and bought a serving.

Sitting on a small stool by the roadside, Caiyi ate delicious oden and drank hot tom yum soup. His body gradually warmed up and the chill was dispelled.

After eating and drinking her fill, Caiyi rubbed her warm fingers together; her fingers had been frozen stiff by the wind on the overpass.

Caiyi plans to find a nearby hotel to rest.

She looked around and found a hotel nearby. Without thinking too much, she went straight in and decided to stay for the night.

It was too cold; she didn't want to stay outside.

Upon entering the hotel room, Cai Yi felt somewhat exhausted and didn't even want to wash up; she simply lay down on the bed.

But not long after, she suddenly heard a faint sound coming from next door.

She sat up alertly, straining her ears to listen carefully.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Caiyi felt that something was off about the voice.

She cautiously approached the wall, pressed her ear against it, and tried to hear what was happening next door.

"Help...uh..."

The faint sound was like the hum of a mosquito, barely audible, yet it seemed to penetrate the walls and reach the ears.

Caiyi frowned, carefully discerning the voice, a sense of unease rising within him.

She couldn't be sure if it was really a cry for help, but deep down she had a feeling that she couldn't let go of.

Without thinking too much, Caiyi decided to go out and see what was going on next door.

It might not be the best, but what if it is?

Therefore, Caiyi won't hesitate for long when it comes to such matters.

However, to ensure his safety, Caiyi went into the bathroom and removed the shower head.

Although she has been training for two months, she is still a weakling compared to her former self.

This nozzle is very comfortable to hold and is perfect for hitting someone on the head.

Caiyi cautiously stepped out of the room, clutching the showerhead tightly in her hand and carrying it on her back.

She gently knocked on the door next door, making a crisp sound.

"Knock Knock-"

The room wasn't well soundproofed, and Caiyi could clearly hear hurried footsteps and hushed conversations coming from inside.

Having made up his mind about wealth, Cai Yi showed no sign of it on his face.

Finally, the door slowly opened, revealing a thin man with a haggard face and malnutrition.

He looked somewhat exhausted, but there was a hidden wariness in his eyes.

When he saw Caiyi, a bright light flashed in his eyes, then quickly disappeared.

"What? So late at night!" the man asked in an unfriendly tone, seemingly annoyed at being disturbed.

Caiyi blinked her charming eyes, revealing a hint of innocence and naivety that evoked pity in people.

She gently took out the showerhead from behind her back, then said to the man in a sweet voice, "Brother~ the showerhead in my room is broken, and I can't get through to the hotel's customer service, so I wanted to ask you if you know how to fix it? Could you help me~"

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed across the man's face, but when his gaze fell upon Cai Yi's bright and beautiful face, his suspicions immediately lessened considerably.

He began to observe Caiyi carefully, noticing her thin and weak arms. His doubts vanished, and a protective instinct welled up within him.

Finally, he nodded, indicating that he was willing to help her repair the showerhead.

The man looked at Caiyi with an exceptionally kind smile, even revealing a set of yellow teeth, and said with a smile, "Little sister, I'm going inside to tell my friend. Wait for me a moment, okay?" After saying that, he turned and went into the room.

Caiyi nodded obediently, gripping the showerhead tightly in her hand, and watched the man enter the room.

She knew that the woman was not unconscious, so someone definitely needed to stay in the house to watch over her.

However, Caiyi did not know exactly how many people were still in the room and could only find out the details after they came out.

The man came out shortly afterward, accompanied by a robust man with an honest face and muscular, bare arms, looking like a farmer who often worked in the fields under the sun.

Cai Yi's gaze unconsciously fell on the migrant worker's large, calloused hands as he scratched his head, making him look honest and simple. This made Cai Yi wary; this man was a martial arts expert!

He knew that only people who practiced martial arts or engaged in manual labor for a long time would have such calluses on their hands.

It's unlikely that someone who kidnapped a woman from a migrant worker's room was a farmer.

The migrant worker seemed to sense Cai Yi's gaze, looked up, grinned, revealing a set of yellow teeth, but his eyes revealed an unfathomable expression.

Caiyi was a little nervous; this person was suspicious of her.

However, having worked for three years, she still possessed basic professional qualities. Caiyi quickly calmed down and smiled at the migrant worker, saying, "Brother, my shower head is broken. Can you fix it for me?"

The migrant worker chuckled, "My brother doesn't know how to fix it, so I'll fix it for you."

Cai Yi smiled slightly: "Okay, thank you for your trouble, brother."

The man was a little unhappy, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything. He angrily tried to close the door, but was stopped by the migrant worker.

"Little sister, I forgot, my brother can also fix things. I taught him a few days ago."

Once the migrant workers confirmed that Cai Yi had no suspicions about them, they didn't want to leave.

After all, the woman inside looked much smarter and stronger than the woman outside.

This kid, don't let that woman get away from you later.

That's a big deal!

Upon hearing this, the man's face clearly showed his happiness; he even subconsciously rubbed his hands together.

Caiyi smiled at the man as he watched the migrant worker close the door. The man's lust was almost undisguised. He followed Caiyi back to his room.
