I Received Messages From Future Self!

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Venturing Alone into the Tiger’s Den

Fang Xiaocao watched the video over and over again, searching every corner for traces of Yun Luoshu.

Suddenly, Fang Xiaocao’s pupils constricted sharply as she found the detail she was looking for.

There was broken glass from beer bottles on the ground!

Under the flickering lights, a shadow passed over the couch, where one could faintly make out the silhouette of someone with long hair being pinned down by several others with short hair.

In the video, Su Wanqing seemed to be blinking oddly.

Su Wanqing kept blinking—though not frequently, it definitely wasn’t at a normal rate.

Moreover, Su Wanqing’s eyes kept drifting in one direction.

Fang Xiaocao tried to compare and found that Su Wanqing was looking in the direction of the shadow cast by the light.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao smiled.

“Tiger Girl, oh Tiger Girl, it’s a good thing I’m smart,”

she murmured cheerfully.

Fang Xiaocao exited the video and opened Hot Noodles’ chat window to type a message.

“The future me, have you returned?”

Fang Xiaocao still wanted to hear what Hot Noodles had gone through.

[Contact does not exist!]

Faced with the prompt “Contact does not exist,” Fang Xiaocao smiled helplessly and closed the chat window.

[Ding-dong!]

At that moment, her phone’s notification went off.

It was a WeChat message from Han Xue.

[Han Xue: Xiaocao, haven’t you arrived yet?]

Reading Han Xue’s message, Fang Xiaocao knew that Han Xue was getting impatient and worried she might have run off.

“I’ll be there soon; send me the private room number,”

Fang Xiaocao sighed and replied.

[Han Xue: Okay okay okay, we’re in 403.]

“Alright, I’ll head straight up when I get there,”

Fang Xiaocao replied expressionlessly.

[Han Xue: Okay, we’ll wait for you!]

Fang Xiaocao exited the conversation with Han Xue.

Sitting in the car, Fang Xiaocao took a few deep breaths, her gaze hardening.

“Hurry to Shen Tao’s KTV, private room 403 to rescue me. Han Xue has gone crazy; she’s taken my best friend, and I’m about to go in to save her!”

After ensuring there were no mistakes in her message, Fang Xiaocao sent it to both Song Lin and Wang Qiang.

Now that Wen Shi had fallen into the trap and Yun Luoshu was subdued, Fang Xiaocao knew as soon as she entered private room 403, Han Xue was likely to blow up.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaocao forwarded the message to an old friend she hadn’t contacted for a long time.

Zhi Qi!

Zhi Qi was Fang Xiaocao’s best friend from the orphanage.

They entered the orphanage together and often huddled together for warmth; they grew up together.

However, Zhi Qi was luckier than Fang Xiaocao.

In high school, Zhi Qi’s parents found her.

Zhi Qi’s family was a vast business empire.

Returning to her family, Zhi Qi was busy studying daily, not just academic courses but also business management.

Gradually, Fang Xiaocao and Zhi Qi contacted each other less, and after high school graduation, as Fang Xiaocao was busy with various part-time jobs to pay tuition and Zhi Qi was busy learning management, they had barely spoken for most of the year.

If it weren’t for this incident, where she had to enter the lion’s den, Fang Xiaocao wouldn’t have reached out to Zhi Qi as a precaution.

After sending the message, Fang Xiaocao put away her phone.

Pushing open the door of the Land Rover, she took a deep breath and walked straight into the KTV.

“Hello, welcome!”

The receptionist at the door greeted Fang Xiaocao with a question mark.

“Hello, how many?”

A waiter approached and asked.

“My friend is upstairs, I’m here to see her,”

Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.

“Sure, please come in,”

the waiter said with a smile.

Shen Tao’s KTV looked pretty decent, but that was only on the surface.

What lay inside, Fang Xiaocao had long heard.

Fang Xiaocao took the elevator and went directly to the 4th floor.

During this time, Fang Xiaocao’s phone kept ringing.

Fang Xiaocao glanced at it.

[Song Lin: What’s going on?]

[Wang Qiang: Don’t be impulsive, wait for me.]

[Zhi Qi: I’ll be there soon, wait for me.]

Seeing the messages from the three of them, Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief.

All three of them had received messages, which, for Fang Xiaocao, was good news.

Especially the message from Zhi Qi made Fang Xiaocao feel inexplicably at ease.

The elevator doors opened, and Fang Xiaocao deleted the messages and put her phone in her pocket.

After entering room 403, she might be controlled.

The fact that she was seeking help could not be discovered.

If Han Xue found out that she not only sought help but also notified the police, she might act in desperation, which would put her, Su Wanqing, and Yun Luoshu all in danger.

“Sister Han, she’s here.”

Fang Xiaocao had just appeared on the 4th floor and hadn’t even left the elevator when a security guard reported her arrival with a walkie-talkie.

In the private room 403, upon hearing the security guard’s report through the walkie-talkie, Han Xue’s lips curved into a smug smile.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Wanqing and Yun Luoshu trembled simultaneously upon hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie.

“Thump thump thump～”

Arriving in front of room 403, Fang Xiaocao knocked on the door.

The door to private room 403 opened with a “click,” and Han Xue, with her garish makeup, stuck her head out.

After looking around and seeing only Fang Xiaocao, she immediately revealed a delighted smile.

“Come on in, Xiaocao, come in fast.”

Han Xue reached out as if to pull Fang Xiaocao inside.

“Let me see how Wen Shi is doing first.”

Fang Xiaocao skillfully avoided contact, slipping by the edge to enter the room.

Fang Xiaocao clearly remembered Hot Noodles’ warning not to make contact with Han Xue, as it would be dangerous.

Although she didn’t know what Hot Noodles meant by that, she just needed to follow the instruction.

Watching Fang Xiaocao’s movements, a shadow flickered in Han Xue’s eyes.

She gestured to the security guard at the elevator.

The security guard at the elevator nodded.

Seeing this, Han Xue smiled slightly and, closing the door to private room 403, walked into the room.

“Captain, Han Xue has signaled.”

The security guard at the elevator turned and walked into the adjacent room, informing the security captain.

“Go guard the entrance.”

The security captain extinguished his cigarette, rose from the sofa, and strode toward private room 403.

“Be sharp later, do you hear me?”

“Han Xue said that after she’s done, those four girls will be ours for the taking,” said the security captain with a lewd smile.

“Captain, is this really okay?”

“If those four girls call the police afterward, all of us brothers could end up behind bars.”

“As for Han Xue, not only would she have gotten her revenge, but she could also wash her hands of it cleanly.”

“Exactly, Captain, isn’t she just using us as pawns?”

A few security guards voiced their concerns, each adding their own comments.

Usually, managing the club and getting into fights were not a big deal to these security guards.

After all, those were minor issues, and even if Shen Tao couldn’t bail them out, at most they would sit in jail for a few days.

When they were released, they would still receive a handsome compensation.

But coercing multiple girls was a serious crime.

One could fetch a minimum sentence of three years…

For all four together, they could end up serving around ten years.

Even though the security guards were tempted, they felt that the brief thrill wasn’t worth a decade of their lives.

Most importantly, this wasn’t about helping Shen Tao out; upon release, Shen Tao would not compensate them.
