Atop the Paradise Palace Hotel, in the corridor outside the room where Yang Qi was staying, the US Forces commander was communicating with the external security personnel, wanting the US Forces to enter and inspect the room. The security personnel, aware that their boss was inside the room playing perverse games with a major celebrity, refused to allow the US Forces entry to search, leading to a standoff in the corridor.
Although Gary Zach, a famous detective from The United States of America, had regained some mobility, he had fallen back into a deep sleep after identifying Yang Qi's location in the Grand Hotel, thus he was unable to assist the US Forces in determining Yang Qi's exact room. With no other choice, the US Forces had to search each room one by one.
