"I then received a second slap on the face, this time from Yang Lin, who appeared enraged. The hotel managed in trying to calm her down, made it clear that he understood what she and Lu Jinhu had told him, including that I had been stalking them. He made it clear that I would be accompanied to the room that I had been staying in, and given 5 minutes only to collect my belongings, before I would be escorted out of the hotel. It was clear that if I did not comply, I would be detained until the police arrived to arrest me. I refused to engage in an argument, but made it clear that I denied their allegations. However rather than causing too much of a scene I let the manager accompany me to clean out my room. On the way to the room I handed the manager the room key and he told me, he believed me a safety risk to Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, consequently I would never be allowed back into the hotel. When I entered the room I completed the half started packing, removing personal belongings from the bathroom , wardrobe, chest of draws in the bed area. From the room safe I removed my work provided laptop and tablet, and my personal camera, and placed them in my cabin bag along with their cords and the charger cord for my phone. I checked the room to ensure that I had not forgotten anything and put the last remaining items in my bags. As I closed the suitcase, I turned the combination lock on it, and also did the same on the cabin bag. As I was leaving, I took one more quick look around the room and in the safe, and found one item I had forgotten, a necklace, which I place in my handbag."

Anna paused again and slightly shuddered. Hou Yi observed this, and she shook her head to indicate that she did not want his support at this time. He acknowledged her with a nod of his head and sat back down.

Anna then took another sip of her drink, and a couple of deep breaths before continuing. "When I returned to the lobby, Yang Lin informed the manager to hold me, stating that I had stolen items. The manager grabbed me by the arms to stop me from preventing me from trying to stop Yang Lin from trying to get in and search my suitcase and cabin bag. When I refused to cooperate to let her into those bags, and refused to give her my handbag, I pulled away from the manager. I made it clear as I was leaving to head to checkout. I stated that the electronics were mine, and had been registered so with my insurance company for over 12 months. I took my bags and ensured as I was at the checkout counter that they were between me and the counter. I advised the desk clerk that I had given my room key to the manager and indicated that I wanted to pay all the outstanding room charges, which I did. Yang Lin continued to verbally abuse me, among other things calling me a thief, liar, stalker, w**re and b**ch, while still trying to obtain control of my bags. While leaving the hotel lobby I was just able to keep out of Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin's reach. When I was outside, the staff signalled to a.s.sistant w.a.n.g, to bring the car up, so I could get my bags in and leave with my husband. As he was pulling up, he must have realised that there was an issue, as rather than getting out to help load the bags, he opened the boot from the car, and stayed in with the engine going so we could leave as soon as I was in. As the boot was opened the hotel staff put my bags in under my supervision and closed it. By this time Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin had reached me and had a grip on me. They were demanding that I hand over my electronic equipment to them, stating it was Lu Jinhu's. Eventually I was able to pull myself away from them and open the car door and quickly get inside. Before I could close the door, Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin had a hold on the door and were preventing me from closing it. The demanded to know who was in the vehicle with me and continued to verbally abuse me. It was only with the help of hotel door staff that I was able to get the car door closed. As soon as it was a.s.sistant w.a.n.g drove us off, and I simply threw myself into my husband's arms crying."

With than, Anna started crying, and this time Hou Yi was not going to go to his wife's side. As soon as he got there, he took Anna in his arms, whispering "It will be alright. It will be alright", until she calmed down. He realised how much dealing with this was taking out of her.
