It seems his bottom line has truly been crossed this time.
Otherwise, such vast resources wouldn't be mobilized.
"Three hundred Dragon Pavilion soldiers; surrounding the hotel is unrealistic. Do you intend to..."
Xuan Niao took a deep breath, her expression grave.
Ye Longlin merely tapped his teacup, and Xuan Niao understood. "I'll make the arrangements."
He genuinely wanted to surround the hotel. Still, it seemed normal; after all, Fang Cunxin's incident happened at the hotel, and the hotel owed them an explanation.
Fang Cunxin clutched the slightly scratched card in her hand, saying nothing.
After a long wait, no one from the hotel came forward, not a single person appeared.
"Surround it!"
Ye Longlin uttered only these two words. They had been back for half an hour, and during that time, the hotel had made no statement.
"This is a Zhang family property," Xuan Niao reminded him at the opportune moment.
Ye Longlin glanced at her briefly. Xuan Niao said no more and turned to leave.
Downstairs.
Manager Zhang adjusted his tie, a cold smile playing on his lips. In fact, after Xuan Niao left, he had already contacted the chairman, but the reply he received was that offering a refund was already showing them face.
This statement made Manager Zhang understand the attitude from above, so he paid no mind to Ye Longlin and the others.
"I have the Zhang family behind me; why should I fear a woman? Besides, even the person behind her has to show face to the Zhang family. Harmony brings wealth, but what about that woman? She even damaged one of our elevators and didn't compensate us. Now she expects us to personally apologize? Who does she think she is!"
Manager Zhang said indignantly. He was very displeased with the arrival of the chief assistant.
In response, the chief assistant said nothing and even patted his shoulder. "Well done. When has our Zhang family ever apologized to anyone? It's always others apologizing to us, and it's an outsider. If we don't rip them off, who will? Don't mind them. People like that get a bit of money and become arrogant, forgetting their own names."
Manager Zhang nodded. "Heh, people like them deserve to be... to be..."
Before he could finish speaking, several soldiers in black combat uniforms, heavily armed, walked towards them.
"On orders to surround the Garden Courtyard Hotel, please cooperate."
The two were instantly stunned. Manager Zhang looked at the approaching individuals in disbelief, exclaiming, "Impossible! We haven't received any notification."
The Dragon Pavilion captain looked at him coldly, a hint of killing intent in his eyes. "I am not notifying you!"
The chief assistant then looked coldly at the Dragon Pavilion captain, his voice chilling. "Which unit are you from? I need to speak with your superior."
The Dragon Pavilion captain sneered, "Are you qualified? Our headquarters are in the capital. If you want to contact our leadership, you can go through War Minister Elder. Otherwise, no one is qualified to contact our commander."
Upon hearing this, the chief assistant immediately sneered dismissively. "Stop putting on airs. Headquarters in the capital, you can really pretend. Let me tell you, my Zhang family has a certain influence in the military system, but we've never heard of any unit marking their symbol with a dragon head. Even if you're going to pretend, at least pretend to be someone we've heard of!"
The Dragon Pavilion captain calmly pulled the pin on a grenade and threw it outside.
"Boom!"
The shockwave from the exploding grenade made them feel the scorching heat wave.
At this, everyone's expression changed, and the chief assistant, who was familiar with military customs, turned pale.
If the two were executing a base destruction mission simultaneously, the Dragon Observation Bureau would focus on formation, while the army would push forward!
"I'm here only to tell you that from now on, you can only enter, not exit."
The chief assistant took a deep breath. "I need to know when we can unseal. After all, this is a five-star hotel, and the losses incurred per day will be substantial."
The Dragon Pavilion captain replied, "It has nothing to do with me. You said you have significant influence in the military; you can contact anyone."
After speaking, the Dragon Pavilion captain leading the team left with his men. Soon, transport vehicles surrounded the entire Garden Courtyard, causing panic among many hotel guests.
The chief assistant, with a grim expression, dialed Chairman Zhang Linhai's phone.
"Chairman, something has happened. For some unknown reason, the military has suddenly sealed our hotel, and it includes the provincial garrison. I don't know whose order it is. I suspect something has occurred."
Zhang Linhai immediately thought of the call from Manager Zhang earlier. Could it really be this?
However, at that moment, the elevator announced its arrival at the floor.
They instinctively turned to look and saw a man in the center, wearing military uniform, with five stars on his shoulders and ten stars on his epaulets, indicating an extremely high status.
Even the woman behind him wore three stars on her shoulders and six stars on her epaulets.
This woman was precisely the one who had threatened Manager Zhang earlier!
"This... this... How is this possible!!"
Manager Zhang's pupils constricted. He looked at the dazzling gold stars on Xuan Niao's shoulders in disbelief!
This woman was actually a three-star general!
What terrified him most was the figure in the middle. He bore five stars on his shoulders and was leading a little girl by the hand, and that little girl was none other than the one who had bought tea earlier!
"Deng deng deng—"
Soldiers in black combat uniforms poured in, standing in two rows.
"Greetings, Dragon Lord, General Xuan."
In the center, three figures strode in and knelt respectfully, calling out.
Then, they looked up curiously at Fang Cunxin, all quite intrigued about who this little girl was.
"Report to the Dragon Lord, the hotel is sealed and controlled. No one can enter or exit, including hotel staff!"
Ye Longlin gestured lightly, and the three rose. He then explained, "This is my disciple, my only disciple."
The expressions of the three changed drastically, and they respectfully knelt again. "Greetings, Little Princess!"
The title "Little Princess" was perfectly fitting, as it was valid until Ye Longlin had a son or daughter.
Fang Cunxin's small face also changed, unsure of how to react. She said softly, "Can you... please get up?"
Ah, this...
They were all a bit taken aback.
This had essentially handed the problem over to them. Ye Longlin was a man of few words; he issued direct orders, and they acted.
The military style was sharp and decisive. Fang Cunxin's question left the three momentarily stunned.
Ye Longlin said helplessly, "Alright, get up."
Then, Xuan Niao looked at Manager Zhang and the chief assistant and sneered, "Conduct a thorough investigation of all personnel in the hotel. A crucial military document has been lost."
As soon as these words were spoken, killing intent surged through the air in an instant. The gazes of the soldiers flashed with terrifying ferocity.
"Not only that, but the Little Princess was humiliated here, and the hotel cheated her out of over a million yuan. They condoned their subordinates and guests to slap the Little Princess. This person is Zhang Haoxuan, a top-tier celebrity."
