The drug was not that powerful so half an hour later, Zhao Qianqian regained consciousness.
She was held onto by Mother Zhao and placed onto the sofa in the resting room. Then, she covered her with a blanket.
Zhao Qianqianâs eyes seemed to be hazy. There was no focus on them.
âQianqian, Qianqian, how do you feel? Donât scare me, Qianqian...â
âMother?â Zhao Qianqianâs voice sounded as though sheâd cried. Her face was red and her breathing was uneven.
âMother is here. Donât be afraid.â Mother Zhao hugged her child with a painful heart.
Father Zhao walked over too and asked in a gentle and soft voice, âQianqian, do you remember what happened?â
âI...â Zhao Qianqianâs breathing was very unstable.
âDonât be in a hurry. Talk slowly.â Mother Zhao consoled Zhao Qianqian.
Zhao Qianqian took a few breaths and grabbed the corners of the blanket. âI, I donât know. I drank a glass and then I canât remember anything. Mother, what happened to me?â
Toward the end, Zhao Qianqian sounded really frightened.
What happened?
Why are there so many people here?
She felt so uncomfortable...
Father Zhao continued to ask, âWho gave you the drink?â
Zhao Qianqian bit her lip. âI took it from the table. Is... is there something wrong with the drink?â
âUncle, the truth is out now.â Yu Yuan immediately stood out. âMiss Zhao took the drink herself. This has nothing to do with Keke.â
An Keke heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Luckily, Zhao Qianqian didnât know anything.
âKeke?â Zhao Qianqian looked at the person Yu Yuan was protecting. Her eyes were confused. âMother, what happened?â
Zhao Qianqian looked as though she really didnât know anything.
Father Zhao and Mother Zhao were puzzled.
Was it really just an accident?
But why did this lady say that An Keke swapped Qianqianâs drink?
Ming Shu suddenly interrupted them. âThere are surveillance cameras outside.â
This reminded everyone that in such a hotel, there were surveillance cameras in all the public areas. There must be one in the banquet room too. They had all forgotten about it.
âLet me call the manager of the hotel,â Father Zhao said.
An Kekeâs face turned even paler. She grabbed Yu Yuanâs elbow tighter unknowingly. This bitch Nan Zhi... the camera would definitely show her swapping the drinks. What should she do?
Yu Yuan felt her nervousness and frowned slightly. An almost impossible thought flashed past his heart.
Would Keke do such a thing?
How could he suspect Keke? She must be scared.
Yu Yuan quickly threw away this thought of his and softly consoled the person in his arms. Keke must just be scared.
Zhao Qianqian looked at Yu Yuan hugging Keke. She looked confused at first and then, her face turned pale.
â
When he heard that something like this happened, the organizer of the banquet, who was the chairman of the Jufeng Group, came over with the manager. They apologized to them first. After all, this happened at his banquet. He needed to keep his etiquette.
He realized that Ming Shu was here too. The chairman of the Jufeng Group was slightly shocked. Didnât this person come with Mister Bei Tang? Why is she here?
Where is Mister Bei Tang?
There was no sign of Bei Tang in the room. The chairman of the Jufeng Group got nervous. Did this thing have anything to do with the girl?
When they met the last time, he could tell that Bei Tang cared a lot about this girl.
The chairman of the group suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked the manager to play the images that they had copied.
There was a surveillance camera at the drinks bar. They set the time to the time Qianqian mentioned.
Zhao Qianqian and An Keke walked toward the drinks bar together. They had a glass each. After that, Zhao Qianqian realized that there was something wrong with her dress. They put their drinks down and left.
There were people who came to get drinks after them but no one touched the two glasses.
At this moment, a man walked to the drinks bar and blocked the two glasses with his body. He left after a moment.
Very soon, An Keke came. She looked around and swapped the two drinks.
This meant that An Keke might have seen the man putting drugs in their glasses and he probably only drugged her glass. However, she didnât say anything and swapped her glass with Zhao Qianqianâs.
âKeke...â Yu Yuan looked at her in disbelief.
âAn Keke, you still say that it is not you!â Mother Zhao exploded immediately. âWhy are you so evil at such a young age. Our Qianqian treats you so well. How can you do such a thing?â
An Keke shook her head. Her eyes turned red. âIt wasnât me, I didnât drug her.â
âNo, you didnât drug her. However, you swapped the drinks. What intentions do you have? You saw everything and yet, not only did you not say anything, you swapped Qianqianâs drink. You...â Father Zhao couldnât control his anger anymore.
Luckilu, nothing happened to Qianqian.
If something really happened... Mother Zhao and Father Zhao didnât want to think of the implications.
âKeke, why?â The redness on Zhao Qianqianâs face had subsided. Her face was pale now. âWhy did you do this to me?â
An Keke squeezed her fingers tightly. Why? She was engaged to Yu Yuan and they would get married soon. Yu Yuan belonged to her. Why must she give him to her?
The only way was to destroy her...
An Keke felt that her thoughts were really crazy sometimes, but she couldnât control herself.
It was all because of Nan Zhi. If it wasnât for her, she wouldnât be found out.
Ming Shu gave a bright smile to An Keke and made a provocative hand gesture. An Keke narrowed her eyes. Hatred tossed and turned in her gaze.
Once she got her Hatred Points, Ming Shu retreated successfully. She left the room as everyone was questioning An Keke.
There were a lot of busybodies standing outside. When they saw someone coming out, they looked over at her.
Ah Sen quickly blocked Ming Shu and left.
âWho is this? She even has a bodyguard?â
âI donât know.â
âWhen I came up just now, I saw the chairman of the Jufeng Group personally welcoming them. The girl was included too. She stood beside a really handsome man. I donât know who they are.â
Boomâ
A gunshot rang without any warning.
Cicicici...
The crystal chandelier dropped from the ceiling and smashed onto the floor. The entire hall was plunged into darkness.
The crowd screamed after a moment and the scene got messy.
Ah Sen didnât expect something like this to happen. The messy crowd separated Ming Shu from him. He got anxious and tried to close in on Ming Shu. However, the entire hall was in darkness, He could only see people moving around and recognized those that bumped into him. He couldnât see where Ming Shu was at all.
If something happened to Miss, his life would be over.
âAh Sen.â
âMiss?â Ah Sen looked toward his side based on his instinct. âMiss, are you all right?â
âWhere is Bei Tang?â
Mister!
Ah Senâs heart started tightening. He followed the voice and found Miss. âMiss, let me send you to a safe place first.â
âBring me along to find him.â
âMiss...â
âIf we talk any longer, we might see his corpse. Do you want to reserve a time at the crematory now so that you donât have to wait?â
â...â He was wrong!
