Chapter 1243 Song Yu's Astonishment

Finally, what caused Song Yu's mind to go blank and almost caused her to lose her proud professional ethics was the girl's raised face.

Just as Song Yu subconsciously wanted to show a more standard and warmer welcoming smile, the girl seemed to be attracted by the furnishings in the corridor. She turned her head slightly and glanced at them. It was this glance that revealed her face completely under the light.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Song Yu had seen too many so-called "beauties." In her past career, the world's top celebrities and wealthy dignitaries she served were never short of outstanding female companions, including many celebrities and supermodels.

Even she herself was considered beautiful in her youth, and she knew that beauty has its own merits.

But the face before her eyes... had completely overturned her understanding of the limits of "beauty".

It is a kind of "perfection" that transcends the realm of description by mundane words such as "good-looking," "pretty," and "stunning," directly affecting the level of biological instinct and making one's soul tremble.

Her skin was like the cold moon frosty, and her features were like those sculpted by a god. Together, they exuded an inhuman, almost sacred, yet eerie and cold aura.

Especially those slightly bewildered purple eyes, like two star cores fallen to earth, so deep they seemed to absorb all the light.

Song Yu felt his breath catch for a moment, his heart felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand, and then it began to beat violently again.

It wasn't the thrill of lust, but a more primal, complex tremor, like a lower life form looking up at a higher being, a mixture of awe, attraction, and a hint of instinctive fear.

Her pride in her composure was crumbling; her fingers, holding the silver tray with hot towels and warm water, trembled almost imperceptibly.

This is... tonight's special guest?

A girl who looks naive and down on her luck, yet possesses stunning, even inhuman, beauty?

Countless questions and speculations churned in her mind like boiling water, but the powerful instincts honed by twenty years of experience in the top service industry allowed her to forcefully suppress all her shock and confusion in a very short time.

She quickly adjusted her breathing, and her expression shifted from initial stiffness to an impeccable smile tinged with appropriate concern and respect. However, behind this smile lay highly tense nerves and unprecedented caution.

She bowed slightly and spoke in the softest, most unassuming voice to the girl who was being gently comforted by Jia Daiquan:

"Good evening, esteemed guest. I am your personal service supervisor, Song Yu. Welcome to Xishan Guesthouse. Your room is ready and at a comfortable temperature. Please feel free to let me know if you need anything."

...

The heavy solid wood door closed gently behind them, temporarily isolating the bewildered and mysterious girl inside the suite.

Under the soft glow of the wall lights in the corridor, Jia Daiquan did not leave immediately.

He turned around to face Song Yu, his tense and wary expression not relaxing at all, but rather becoming even more serious as he was no longer under the girl's direct gaze.

He deliberately lowered his voice, making sure only Song Yu, who was standing very close, could hear him clearly, and his tone was more serious than ever before:

"Manager Song."

Song Yu immediately bowed slightly, placed his hands together in front of him, and adopted the posture of listening attentively.

She could sense that what was about to be said was crucial.

“The guest in the room,” Jia Daiquan gestured with his eyes to the closed door, his voice low and clear:

“Her situation… is very special, and her background is beyond our imagination. You must understand that this is not an ordinary reception mission.”

He paused, seemingly considering his words, and ultimately chose the most direct warning:

“She is currently in a state of heightened sensitivity and instability. This instability could lead to…unpredictable consequences. Therefore, I need you to stay by her side all night and not neglect her in the slightest.”

Song Yu's heart tightened slightly. "Staying close to someone all night" was unprecedented in the entire Xishan Guesthouse. After all, the guests here were military commanders from various regions or core leaders from other war zones. They were all in their prime and not so old that they needed to be taken care of personally.

Jia Daiquan continued, his sharp gaze fixed on Song Yu: "Your task is, first and foremost, to provide the most attentive and quiet service, to meet all her reasonable needs—if she has any and can express them."

"The second is observation, meticulously observing her every move, any subtle changes in her emotions or behavior."

"Remember, if there is anything you consider unusual or abnormal, no matter how insignificant, you must never act on your own; you must report it to me immediately!"

At this point, he handed Song Yu a very bulky walkie-talkie.

Finally, Jia Daiquan's tone turned cold and hard:

"To ensure absolute safety, security on this floor will be raised to the highest level tonight. A full-strength guard team will be on duty outside the door 24 hours a day."

"If... I mean if, any unexpected situation occurs in the room that you cannot control, do not hesitate to press the alarm immediately, or ask the guard outside the door for help."

"Their primary task is to deal with the 'special circumstances' here."

A guard platoon? At the Xishan Guesthouse?

Song Yu felt her breath catch in her throat almost imperceptibly. She had been working here for almost half a year and had seen far too many high-level receptions.

The security at Xishan Guesthouse is already top-level in the war zone, directly managed by the renowned "Imperial Guard"—the War Zone Guard Regiment. With layers of overt and covert sentries, electronic surveillance, and identification systems, it is truly an impregnable fortress.

No matter which leader or what rank they held, even the commanders of the various war zones who came to the meeting recently—who are now at the top of Zhou Bang's pyramid—they did not arrive with guards!

Tonight, for the sake of a girl, they are making an exception and adding an extra full-strength guard squad to the hotel's already tight security, and they will be on guard outside the room 24 hours a day!

This level of security can no longer be described as merely "important." It's almost like... a state of heightened control?

With such tight security, and an additional guard squad, it doesn't sound like they're protecting guests from external threats; rather, it seems more like they're guarding against the guests themselves.

This absurd yet perfectly reasonable idea, like an ice pick, suddenly pierced Song Yu's mind, making the back of her neck feel slightly cold.

She glanced subconsciously at the heavy door, as if she could sense through the door the unsettling, inhuman aura emanating from the stunningly beautiful girl inside.

She took a deep breath and quickly suppressed this somewhat "inappropriate" guess. As a top-notch service worker, she knew that excessive curiosity was fatal.

Her job is to execute, not to investigate.

With her usual composure and professionalism restored, Song Yu took out a small, exquisite leather notebook and a pen from the inside pocket of her suit—a professional habit of hers, to record every preference and note of important guests.

She turned to a new page and quickly and clearly wrote down every single instruction Jia Daiquan had given her:

[Special Guest - Executive Suite 308]

Status: Special, easily stimulated, unstable. Origin: Extraordinary.

Requirements: Provide close, constant care throughout the night, exercise extreme caution, and avoid any potentially stimulating behavior.

Observation: Pay close attention to all subtle changes in speech and behavior.

Report: Any abnormality, regardless of its size, must be reported immediately.

Emergency: In case of sudden loss of control, press the alarm or seek help from the guards outside the gate (fully staffed, 24-hour guard).

Core principle: Do not act on your own initiative.

After finishing writing, she closed the notebook, nodded slightly to Jia Daiquan, and said in a steady and firm voice, "Director Jia, please rest assured. Song Yu understands and will strictly follow your instructions to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
