âAre you really fine?â Qiao Xiyan saw that her face was pale. She was holding his fingers tightly and trembling.
She nodded.
âWhen Song Fengwan rushed over, Tang Jingci had already been helped to the hotel lobby. She held a glass of warm water in her hand to calm herself down. The hotel manager was apologizing to her and saying that he would investigate this matter as soon as possible, reduce all her expenses, and give her
an explanation.
Tang Jingci had seen the force of the porcelain bottle falling with her own eyes. If it had hit her, she could imagine how badly she would have been cut by the porcelain. Her heart palpitated in fear.
After around five minutes, she gradually calmed down.
âTm really sorry. Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?â the manager asked nervously and checked Tang Jingciâs room information.
It was registered under Duan Linbaiâs name!
Young Master Duanâs people would definitely come to criticize him later.
âNo need.â Tang Jingciâs palms were covered in cold sweat.
After thanking Qiao Xiyan, she followed Song Fengwan out.
âBig Sister Tang, are you really not going back to rest?â Song Fengwan saw that she was in a daze and couldnât help feeling worried.
âTm really fine.â Tang Jingci smiled. âBy the way, I want to give your cousin something, What do you think is suitable?â
âCousin?â Song Fengwan pursed her lips. âOther than those stones, he only likes carving knives.â
Tang Jingci nodded, and the two slowly left for the mall
Qiao Xiyan stood at the entrance of the hotel and watched the two of them leave. He looked up at the top of the hotel. The broken porcelain bottle on the ground had already been cleaned up. This.
is definitely not an accident!
Itsâ obvious that someone wants Tang Jingciâs life.
Sheâs just arrived in the capital. Who could she offend?
He stood at the entrance for a while. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a car parked across the street. He frowned slightly and subconsciously wanted to see the license plate clearly, but the car had already sped away.
âMr. Qiaoâ¦â At this moment, Duan Linbai had already arrived and happened to divert his attention. âHow is Miss Tang?â
âWhen Tang Jingci had an accident, the first person the hotel had informed was Duan Linbai.
He had been about to take an afternoon nap when he heard this. He jumped out of bed and rushed over.
âSheâs fine. Sheâs already gone out with Wanwan.â
âF*ck, whatâs going on? Something suddenly fell?â Duan Linbai looked at the top of the hotel. âIs this man-made or an accident? If it had hit someone, they would have died!â
Qiao Xiyan didnât comment.
Meanwhile, in the car that had just driven away.
He Xi looked crazy. âThis canât even kill her. Sheâs really lucky! It was so close!â
The driver gulped nervously. Ever since the second missâs accident, she had changed completely. She was dark and scary. People would really die if that thing hit them.
âSecond Miss, will they find out about usâ¦â The driverâs hands holding the steering wheel were shaking.
âHow? Could they possibly ask the guests one by one? Itâll cause panic. The hotel isnât stupid.â
âThenâ¦â
âGive her some compensation, and itâll be fine. The hotel wonât really investigate thoroughly unlessâ¦â
He Xi pursed her lips and suddenly smiled. âSheâs dead!â
âThe driver felt a chill run down his spine. What deep enmity does that young lady have with her? Does she have to take someoneâs life?
Ever since the incident, He Xi had been a little mentally twisted and perverted. She had no grudges against Tang Jingci, but she just felt that Tang Jingci was lucky to be able to make a few people she couldnât get close to see her in a different light. Most importantly, she had a good relationship with Song,
Fengwan.
Jealousy and hatred welled up in her heart, and she vented all her anger on her.
A person like her didnât have any true feelings for Duan Linbai or Qiao Xiyan. She just wanted to find an outlet to vent her anger. And at this moment, Tang Jingci appeared.
Anyway, sheâs just an unknown internet celebrity. Why does it matter if I mess with her?
Isnât it easy?

âWhen Tang Jingci and Song Fengwan returned, Duan Linbai was still in the hotel. It was already dark.
âYoung Master Duan, you really didnât have to make a trip yourself.â Tang Jingci had gone shopping and had already forgotten the whole thing.
âItâs what I should do. You havenât eaten yet, right? My treat.â Duan Linbai was really frightened.
âTang Jingci couldnât dissuade him. In the end, she dragged Qiao Xiyan and Song Fengwan along. After dinner, they went to Ninth Mansion to sit for a while.
âYouâve never been to a bar before?â Duan Linbai wanted Tang Jingci to relax.
âIâve been to bars, but itâs different from the ones overseas.â Tang Jingci looked around curiously. A folk singer was singing. She stopped and listened for a while.
âTo the private room?â Duan Linbai motioned for her to go upstairs.
âLwant to listen for a while more. You two can go up first.â
Duan Linbaiâs face was too conspicuous. Ninth Mansion was also considered his territory, so nothing would happen. He and Qiao Xiyan entered the private room first, while Tang Jingci and Song Fengwan stayed downstairs.
âHere are your drinks!â The waiter handed the drinks over.
âTang Jingci burst out laughing. She had a cocktail, but Song Fengwanâs
It was milk!
âYoung Master Duan specially ordered this.â The waiter pushed the glass of milk in front of Song Fengwan again.
The comers of Song Fengwanâs mouth twitched hard. Why did he get me this kind of thing to drink?!
Duan Linbai couldnât be blamed for this. He had told Fu Chen that he would bring Song Fengwan to Ninth Mansion, and Fu Chen had given him a death order. If he let Song Fengwan get some alcohol, he definitely wouldnât let him off.
He had even threatened to send Huai Sheng to him for a few days.

When Duan Linbai heard that he would have to take care of the little monk who knocked on the wooden fish, he was immediately dumbfounded.
This was too ruthless.
Song Fengwan also knew that she would lose her composure after getting drunk, so she obediently picked up the glass of milk and took a sip.
Just as Tang Jingci was about to drink, she heard a noisy sound approaching. She turned her head and saw seven men and women coming together. The girl walking in front threw her car key onto the bar.
âMiss He.â The waiter was obviously familiar with her. âThe usual?â
Song Fengwan didnât expect to meet He Xi here. She was dressed differently from usual today. She was more mature and had thick makeup on.
âMiss Song, what a coincidence.â He Xi was really surprised to meet them this time.
âYes.â Song Fengwan pursed her lips.
âThis isâ¦â He Xi deliberately pointed at Tang Jingci.
Song Fengwan didnât want to deal with her. âWe still have friends waiting. Weâll leave first.â She pulled Tang Jingci and planned to leave.
âSong Fengwan!â
He Xi hated her from the bottom of her heart because she couldnât figure out why she had drugged her but was drugged instead. She had no grievances with Qiao Xiyan, but she had confronted Song Fengwan several times.
Naturally, she linked the entire matter to Song Fengwan.
If she hadnât taken the knockout drug by mistake, those things wouldnât have happened. In the end, it was still the drugâs fault.
And the whole thing seemed to be caused by Song Fengwan.
Usually, when she met her, there were elders around, so she didnât dare to do whatever she wanted. Now that she had brought a group of friends with her, her imposing manner was greater than hers.
âYou did something wrong and want to run away after meeting me?â He Xi sneered.
Song Fengwan was speechless. This idiot, what did I do wrong? A thief is calling someone else a thief!
She couldnât be bothered with her and pulled Tang Jingci away.
But the two boys following He Xi blocked their path.
Qiao Xiyan and Duan Linbai had been observing the two of them upstairs. When they saw He Xi appear, Duan Linbai couldnât help cursing.
She actually got people to stop Song Fengwan and Tang Jingci?
Duan Linbai took a deep breath!
F*ck, Iâve been anxious all day today. The hotel investigation has yielded nothing, and I have nowhere to vent my anger. But youâre behaving atrociously in my territory?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ineed to teach you a lesson!
