316 Fool’s Cage (10)_1
“You two with the bushy eyebrows have also come out to join the commotion?”
When he saw the Torrance Couple, Fu Qian’s first reaction wasn’t to offer help but an instinctive headache.
In such a strange environment, the two of them blocking the way like this was hardly cause for optimism.
However, it did explain why Violetta had gone silent after getting lost.
At that moment, she was curiously sizing up the Torrance Couple, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Mr. Gridy hadn’t kept up.
“Hello, Violetta.”
Facing Violetta’s scrutiny, Torrance greeted her with a gentle voice, his smile impeccable.
“Hello, Mr. Torrance.”
Before Violetta could reply, Fu Qian stepped forward two paces to stand beside her.
“Hello, Dr. Sir.”
Upon hearing this, the Torrance Couple simultaneously turned their heads to look, with Mrs. Torrance responding politely.
In the meantime, Fu Qian quickly scanned them from head to toe.

The couple was still wearing their previous clothes, and their hair and makeup were meticulous, not looking like they had been resting.
But other than that, there was nothing particularly abnormal.
The slightly odd detail was that Mr. Torrance’s clearly expensive, high-quality suit was wrapped roughly around his hand.
To be precise, it was wrapped around the hand he and Mrs. Torrance were holding.
Indeed, although they were a long-married couple, they were now standing hand in hand on either side, looking intimate yet eerie.
The corridor was thus thoroughly blocked.
“You two haven’t rested yet?”
Fu Qian sighed, asking while glancing to the side.
To the couple’s left, a room door stood wide open, the luggage inside yet unpacked.
Fu Qian’s memory was still sharp; even the door number matched, confirming that this was indeed the couple’s room.
Regrettably, although the door was open, it was impossible to pass around them due to the narrow hallway and the couple’s position further back.
To get by, it was necessary for the couple to make way.
“Not yet, we’ve encountered some problems,”
Torrance looked quite displeased as he pointed inside the room.
“The hotel might have made a mistake; someone is already staying in this room.”
Someone in the room? So you came out to block the way?
Fu Qian looked inside again but didn’t see a trace of anyone.
“Why not ask the hotel to switch rooms for you?”
Fu Qian withdrew his gaze, saying without a change in expression.
“That’s a difficult problem, the Gridy family is already staying inside, where shall we stay?”
As if he hadn’t heard Fu Qian’s suggestion, Torrance was rubbing his chin with his right hand, frowning in thought, while Mrs. Torrance also looked worried.
“There’s time to think of a solution; could you please make way for us to pass first?”
Fu Qian continued to probe.
“If we can’t get into our room, we have to stay here. I’ve been driving all day and am very tired.”
Regrettably, Torrance’s response was talking to himself.
As expected, they only appeared normal!
Fu Qian sighed inwardly without disturbing the two any further.
The couple was obviously not in the right state of mind, fixated on who owned the room.
It seemed that they wouldn’t clear the hallway until the issue inside was resolved.
And if he were to forcefully move them, it was likely that there could be unforeseen consequences.
“I’ll go and talk to them.”
“Is that alright? We don’t want to offend them.”
Torrance finally reacted, exchanging a look with his wife.
“It’s fine; I’m a polite person.”
Fu Qian signaled that they needn’t worry and turned back to instruct Violetta.
“Wait here for me.”
