Two Chinese women stunned to find intruder hiding underneath hotel bed ‘to escape debt collectors’

Two Chinese women were frightened to discover an intruder hiding under one of the beds in their hotel who claimed to be hiding from debt collectors, mainland media reports.

The two women, named Chen Li and Li Ling, discovered the mattress of one of their beds was often moving while relaxing in their room after checking into the hotel in Wuhan, in Hubei province, to look for work last Friday, the Chutian Metropolis Daily reported.

After putting their bags in the room at 1pm they went shopping and returned at around 7pm.

Chen took a shower first, while Li was looking at her mobile phone in bed before Chen tried on clothes she had bought that afternoon as Li took photographs of her.

However Li noticed her mattress was often moving beneath her and initially thought it was because it was too soft.
