Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 464 - 462: How Could There Be a Kidnapping in Broad Daylight?
Jiayi had no choice but to honestly say, "My mom arranged a blind date for me, I might be as much as an hour late, but it’s not too far from Disheng, just at Lijing Hotel, I won’t be late coming over."
"Blind date?" Sister Hui frowned, "Alright, then you come over early."
Sister Hui’s voice caused the man on the nearby sofa to lift his head, his brows knitting into a furrow, as a cold sharpness quickly gathered at the corners of his mouth.
----
Lijing Hotel, the lobby.
A seemingly honest and simple man sat on the sofa, waiting nervously and excitedly for his blind date to arrive.
As time ticked by, the sound of footsteps approached, clearly not the light steps that a woman would have. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
They were two tall men in black suits.
The two men approached the school teacher, lifted their chins as if interrogating a criminal, and narrowed their eyes, "You’re here for the blind date, aren’t you?"
The school teacher was startled and nodded instinctively before realizing, "How do you know? Who are you..."
Before he could finish, the two men in black had already stepped forward, grabbed the school teacher’s arms, and started dragging him towards the hotel entrance.
Only when they were nearly at the door did the unfortunate teacher come to his senses, "Hey, hey, what are you doing—"
How could there be an abduction in broad daylight!
With so many prominent business and political figures in Yunling City, they wouldn’t stoop to abducting a middle school teacher like him!
The school teacher’s slender frame was no match for the two professional bodyguards, who forcefully dragged him outside the hotel before finally stopping and loosening their grip on his elbows.
The school teacher stumbled back, gasping for breath and unsettled, "What... what the hell do you want to do..."
One of the bodyguards hooked the corner of his mouth with a hint of scorn, "Don’t worry, we won’t do anything to you, but if you don’t follow our instructions, we might have to do something."

An hour later, accompanied by a waft of fragrance, Jiayi ran into Lijing Hotel, panting for breath.
It was rush hour, and the entire city was jam-packed with traffic!
She was half an hour late for the appointed time.
She looked around, but she didn’t see the man from the blind date photo. Had he gotten impatient and left?
Just then, her phone rang.
She saw that it was the school teacher’s number and answered, "I’m sorry, I..."
"Miss Chu has arrived?" It was the honest voice of the school teacher.
"Yes, sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, it was too congested. I made you wait for a long time. Have you left?"
"No no, I’m in a room upstairs, please come up."
"Upstairs room?" Jiayi was doubtful, "Why are you in a hotel room?"
"I’m so sorry Miss Chu, I was waiting for you while drinking a beverage, probably too nervous, and I spilled it on my clothes, so I had to check into a hourly room to clean up. I was worried you’d come and not see me, so I wanted to give you a call. I’m cleaned up now, but my suit outside still isn’t dry, it might take a little while longer, so why don’t you come up, and we can meet upstairs?"
Before the arranged date, Jiayi had spoken on the phone with the school teacher a few times. She could tell from their conversations that he was an honest person.
Her mom had met him once and said he was very honest too. Because he was too honest, he would blush and become speechless at the sight of women, which is why he hadn’t married or even been in a relationship until now.
Although meeting for a blind date in a hotel room seemed a bit odd, it was broad daylight, and the school teacher wouldn’t do anything, not to mention that they both knew each other’s background.
Without thinking too much about it, she said "Oh," hung up the phone, and went upstairs to the room number he had given her.
At the door of the guest room, she knocked and softly called out, "Hello."
There was no response from inside the room.
She placed her hand on the doorknob, gave it a slight turn, and the door opened—it had been ajar.
It was a suite. Jiayi walked in and proceeded to the inner room, yet still, no one was there.
Strange—
She turned around, about to take out her phone to make a call, when suddenly everything went dark—the entire suite’s lights went out!
How could such a large hotel lose power?
Her heart pounded fiercely, an uneasy feeling setting in, and she instinctively hurried towards the guest room’s entrance.
Reaching the door, her slender hand had just touched the doorknob, hadn’t even pulled it open, when a surge of hot breath assaulted her from behind.
A strong, sinewy hand, like an old vine, coiled around the woman’s slender, graceful waist from behind and yanked her back!
"Ah—" Jiayi let out a low, sharp scream as she was pulled into the arms of the person behind her, her scream muffled before she could fully cry out, as the person behind covered her mouth, stifling her voice instantly!
Clearly, it was a man behind her! And not just any man, but a well-built, heroic one!
Her mind was in turmoil, utterly confused; she struggled while trying to open her mouth to continue calling for help inside the man’s grip: "...let... let me go... let..."
But her faint voice had not yet drifted away when it was again forcefully suppressed by the man’s palm.
Was it the high school teacher?!
No, that couldn’t be... that blind date seemed so honest...
"What... what do you want to do..." She mustered all her strength, continuing to utter her fragmented, threadlike voice from within his palm.
The more she struggled, the tighter the grip of the man behind her became!
The man made no other move, simply restraining her firmly from behind as if he was savoring her panic.
Not until she had exhausted all her strength did the man slightly relax his hold, but he didn’t stop there. Instead, he dragged her deeper into the suite—
The bedroom was inside the suite—
What on earth was he going to do—
Jiayi finally gathered all her strength, seized the opportunity, lifted her foot, and aimed a vicious stomp downward!
The man reacted very quickly, dodging it, but his grip also loosened a bit.
Seizing this rare chance, Jiayi, drenched in sweat, broke free and ran a few steps forward, about to rush out of the guest room, when she saw the man behind her clap his hands.
Immediately, as if the lights had come back on after a power outage, the entire guest room lit up, one by one!
The interior was as bright as daylight!
Jiayi stopped in her tracks, a premonition setting in. She turned around and her breath caught in her throat!
Huo Zhenyang settled back on the sofa, a white shirt adorning his upper body. The intensity of their scuffle had undone his collar buttons, revealing the graceful lines of his neck and shoulder blades. He wore black, neatly pressed trousers that accentuated his long, bamboo-like legs. At this moment, his eyes were ice-cold; his thin lips curled in a mocking arc, burning with a gaze trained on her!
It was him!
How could it be him?!
Looking at the young woman’s flushed and terrified face, Huo Zhenyang silently chuckled, "I’ve said before, you such a foolish woman shouldn’t be doing anything like blind dating. You would have been eaten up without even realizing what had happened. Do you believe it now? Hmm, a blind date you just met, he asks you to go upstairs and you go? Into the room and you enter? Are you stupid? If this were really some other man, by now you would have been violated."
