Chen Kai had already turned around and, upon hearing this, did not respond. Instead, he headed straight for the exit.
It was now too late for Han Shuang to say anything. All she could do was stamp her foot and stride forward.
Her escorts hastily made a path for her, having noticed that Chen Kai took the room key, indicating that their boss's objective had been attained, and all that was left was to wait.
