Chapter 161

Chapter 161

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

Because everyone was concerned about the same thing—who was the abuser in the marriage between Liu Liu and Zu Xiaohua!

Yi Tiantian, holding the rumor system, naturally knew the truth.

Today, he wasn’t just here to watch the drama; he was here to save a life!

Whenever Zu Xiaohua got high, she lost control, so Liu Liu’s body was often covered in bruises.

She’d even sent him to the ER a few times!

Yi Tiantian had already turned on his phone’s camera, ready to film any evidence of Zu Xiaohua’s abuse.

The other bystanders had no idea Zu Xiaohua could be so dangerous. Their goal tonight was to uncover the truth.

On this dark, windless night, everyone quietly made their way to the same hotel room.

Thanks to his quick thinking, Yi Tiantian was the first to reach the couple’s room.

"Why is it so quiet inside? Has the abuse not started yet?"

"No, that doesn’t make sense. Knowing Zu Xiaohua, she usually starts attacking as soon as they get back to the room."

"This isn’t right!"

Yi Tiantian’s thoughts came from ahead, and the bystanders behind him heard them clearly.

Yes, everyone had arrived at the couple’s room.

The hotel was great, except for its poor soundproofing. If Zu Xiaohua were really committing violence inside, there would definitely be sounds coming out!

But now, the room was eerily quiet—no sounds at all!

This meant there was likely no domestic violence happening inside!

It looked like Yi Tiantian had been chasing a wild goose!

Realizing this, the bystanders felt disappointed.

They had expected to eat a big melon and overturn their perceptions, but it had ended like this.

How boring!

Just as everyone was feeling disappointed, Yi Tiantian seemed to have found something.

The leader of the gossip-seekers said nothing and dashed towards the elevator.

The bystanders were even more dumbfounded, having no idea what Yi Tiantian was up to!

Only Yueyue and Yangyang, the two assistants who had been with him for a long time, roughly understood his meaning.

Something must have changed!

And they needed to stick close to Yi Tiantian now, not losing sight of him!

If they lost him, they’d miss out on the latest scoop!

Seeing Yi Tiantian sprinting towards the elevator, Yueyue and Yang Yang exchanged a glance, then picked up the pace and sprinted toward the elevator too.

As a group of curious onlookers, everyone waited for the next elevator instead of taking the same one as Yi Tiantian.

At this moment, the small elevator was packed with people ready to get the scoop. It was only under the lights that they finally saw who was participating in tonight’s action.

To everyone's surprise, Director Wang, who would definitely go to bed early if there was an important scene to shoot the next day, was actually part of the gossip crowd!

"Director Wang, what are you doing here?"

A production assistant asked, looking at Director Wang in surprise.

Director Wang, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched his head and answered shyly, "Well, I... I also enjoy a good gossip..."

The crowd in the elevator perked up. They hadn’t noticed that the usually serious Director Wang had such a cute side!

"We’re all about the gossip too!"

The production assistant said excitedly.

Everyone in the elevator exchanged excited glances, all eager for the latest gossip, and then shouted together, "You're into the gossip too?"

As everyone was getting hyped up, Yang Yang in the corner noticed something wasn’t right.

They were celebrating a little too early.

"But... we don’t know which floor Yi Tiantian went to."

The moment those words left his mouth, the group’s excitement deflated like a punctured balloon.

Right!

How could they not have thought of that!

In the midst of celebrating, they had forgotten to note where their gossip leader had gone!

What a bunch of clueless gossips they were!

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do while stuck in the elevator.

For the gossip lovers, nothing beats witnessing the drama firsthand!

And now, wasting time meant they might not get to eat the fresh scoop first!

Just as everyone was anxious and regretful, Director Wang, with a deep look in his eyes, seemed to recall something.

With his hands rubbing his chin, he said to everyone, "I think Yi Tiantian might have gone to the wrong floor."

As soon as he said this, some of the staff present realized.

No wonder something felt off. Although most people didn’t know which room Liu Liu was staying in, they had some impression of the floor he was on!

Yi Tiantian had led everyone to the third floor, but in their memory, Liu Liu’s room should have been on the fourth floor!

"I remember now, we did go to the wrong room!"

One of the registration staff recalled after some thought, finally remembering the room number they had glanced at before.

"The room we should actually go to is room 4563 on the fourth floor!"

However, Yi Tiantian was just standing in front of room 3563 on the 3rd floor, and the two rooms were just one floor apart!

Hearing this, everyone’s spirits, which had been low, suddenly lifted!

Since not much time had passed, they should still be able to make it to the 4th floor in time!

Fresh drama, here we come!

Without hesitation, Yang Yang immediately pressed the button for the fourth floor, and the elevator began to rise rapidly.

Some impatient gossipers even ran out of the elevator and headed towards the staircase.

To catch the fresh drama, they were really giving it their all!

In their all-out chase, everyone finally arrived at the gossip scene—in front of room 4563—breathless.

Sure enough, Yi Tiantian was actually standing in front of the hotel room!

And he was currently sneakily peeking through the door crack!

The gossipers exchanged glances, and their eyes were filled with surprised expressions.

Great! They successfully made it to the gossip scene!

They were true gossip pros!

While the crowd cheered, Yi Tiantian was focused on listening inside the room.

"That's right, it's here!"

"There’s already screaming inside now!"

Yi Tiantian's words interrupted everyone's celebration.

Everyone fell silent and strained to hear what was happening inside.

As everyone gradually calmed down, they really did hear some strange sounds.

These were sounds no one should be making!

"Ah!"

"I was wrong!"

"Please don't… anymore..."

And the sounds were quite loud!

The staff members who heard these sounds were completely dumbfounded.

Because it was unmistakably Liu Liu’s voice!

If the rumors were true and Liu Liu was abusing Zu Xiaohua, her voice should have been the one we heard!

But they weren’t in a rush to believe Yi Tiantian, because there was another rumor circulating among them.

Wang Director had once heard Liu Liu personally say that it was just some private games between the couple!

What if this is the case?

Yi Tiantian's small face instantly turned a little flushed as he listened to the sounds coming from inside.

Anyone unfamiliar with the situation would assume something inappropriate was happening inside!

The person crying out was Liu Liu, and he sounded very restrained and agonized, as if it were an intimate moment between a couple!

Yi Tiantian steadied his mind, forcing himself not to think in the wrong direction.

What was happening inside the hotel room wasn't just a private matter between a couple; it was a serious case of domestic violence!

No one—man or woman—should ever resort to violence against their partner!

And domestic violence should definitely not be trivialized!

With this thought, Yi Tiantian's expression turned serious. He raised his phone, which had the camera on, and stretched it toward the crack in the door.

"Luckily, the rumor system mentioned that these two would leave a slight gap in the door; otherwise, today's plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly!"

"As soon as they got back to the hotel room, Zu Xiaohua started beating Liu Liu mercilessly, and neither of them realized the door wasn't fully closed!"

"Maybe Liu Liu wasn't meant to die today, and even the universe is lending a hand!"

With that thought in mind, Yi Tiantian cautiously extended his arm further into the room.

But he quickly realized that filming from outside the door wouldn't give him a clear view of what was happening inside.

After all, even in her frenzy, Zu Xiaohua wouldn't forget to maintain her image as a helpless, innocent victim.

So at this moment, the two of them were in a position that couldn't be captured by the camera!

To get evidence of Zu Xiaohua's domestic violence, Yi Tiantian gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and prepared to enter the hotel room for a closer shot.

Thus, Yi Tiantian gently pushed open the door and tiptoed into the hotel room.

At this moment, the bystanders not far away had their jaws drop. Never expecting Yi Tiantian to go to such lengths just to catch the drama!

Compared to Yi Tiantian, the rest of the bystanders felt like amateurs!

Yueyue and Yang Yang exchanged a glance and instantly knew what the other was thinking.

They decided to join in and catch the drama too!

Following Yueyue and Yang Yang, the rest of the bystanders quietly slipped toward the hotel room.

Seeing is believing. If they could witness the domestic violence firsthand, it would finally put everyone's lingering doubts to rest.
