Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Miss An, there’s a man looking for you!

Since things had come to this, the only option was to find a place to stay for the night and figure out a way to get back when daylight came.

"Excuse me, do you still have rooms available?"

"Yes, would you like a single or a double room?"

"A single room will do!"

Ye Ning handed over her ID and money. After receiving the key card, she could barely hold on any longer and collapsed onto a chair at the hotel’s front desk.

Seeing this, the innkeeper grew concerned, "My goodness, miss, your foot injury seems quite severe; look, it’s bleeding again. Let me go get some medicine for you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ning’s eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she almost started crying, "Thank you so much."

She indeed needed medicine. Her foot had been hurting ever since she got off the highway, the wound had reopened.

Fortunately, the innkeeper was a caring person. After seeing the state of her foot, not only did he buy the medicine for her, but he also helped her change the dressing and bandages before finally assisting her to the room she had booked.

"Young lady, where are you headed? Why did you come here all by yourself?"

Upon entering the room, the innkeeper naturally asked this question out of concern for her.

Hearing this, Ye Ning didn’t conceal anything, "I’m heading back to A City. My car broke down. Do you know how to get back?"

"For that, you’ll need to take a bus from here to B City’s bus station. Then, from there, you can catch a coach back to A City. Otherwise, there’s no direct transportation from here."

"..."

Sitting there, Ye Ning struggled for a full five seconds before managing to suppress the murderous urge rising in her chest.

That bastard, she would definitely not let him off the hook!

After the innkeeper left her in her room, Ye Ning quickly freshened up and lay down on the bed fully clothed, planning to get through the night and then take a bus to B City first thing in the morning and catch the coach home.

But as she lay on the bed, half-asleep, she thought she heard someone talking outside, "Sir, I’ve told you many times, it’s very late now. If you’re looking for that young lady, you’ll disrupt her rest."

"..."

Then, no one else seemed to speak, but there were disordered footsteps entering. Since the inn wasn’t very well-built and had poor sound insulation, Ye Ning could hear some noises from inside.

She heard the footsteps enter and couldn’t tell what they said to the landlady, but afterward, there was the sound of high heels moving along the corridor towards her room.

Possibly, there was some matter?

She thought this to herself and decided not to worry about it, instead hugging the thin blanket, ready to continue sleeping,

But right then, there was a knock on her door, "Ms. Ye? Ms. Ye, are you asleep?"

Was it the innkeeper’s wife?

Ye Ning opened her eyes and switched on the bedside lamp, "I was about to sleep. Is there something you need?"

"Well, there’s someone here looking for you. Would you like to come out and meet him?"

Someone was looking for her?

Ye Ning, still groggy from sleep, wasn’t entirely able to grasp the situation.

In this place, she had just arrived; who would be looking for her?

She pondered a moment, then suddenly remembered the phone call she had hung up on not long before. Instantly, a feeling of astonishment mixed with disbelief surged up from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Yebai?

Could it be him? He had actually come looking for her?
