Chapter 133: Chen celebration banquet: Unmasking Suyin (1)
Liu, Chen and Xiang family gathered in the main security control room where big TV displays were held capturing every part of the hotel.
Jianyu said to the manager, âPlay from the part where Nana left for the restroom.â
âYes, sir.â
Near the restroom entrance, they saw Nana coming there.
âThere she is!â, Chen Liling said.
They saw everything about how a waitress talked something to her and made Nana follow her. Reaching near the elevator, they saw them again but then the power cut off and everything went dark.
âWho is that woman? Where was she taking her? And Nana. She looked even sicker than before.â, she said with worry gnawing her heart. âJianyu. Iâm getting a bad feeling about this.â
Jianyu said, âCalm down mom.â, though he himself was feeling very anxious. âWe will go look for her. If she had to take the stairs then, then she wouldnât have gone much farther. Maybe maximum up to the the twelfth or thirteenth floor. Carrying a person with you and then climbing up is very hard.â
She nodded.
Suddenly Jing interrupted, âWait.â
âWhat is it?â, she asked.
âI think we should also check for big brother and Huian. I canât seem to find them either.â
Liu Hai nodded.
Xiang Qingge said worriedly, âYes. I didnât see Huian anywhere.â
Chen Liling said, âYes, yes. We should check the recording again.â
The manager, on Jingâs signal played the footage. It started from where Huian stood at a corner trying to hide from the crowd.
They frowned noticing such odd behavior. Then they widened their eyes in shock watching what she did next.
She mixed some liquid in a glass of wine. The same glass that she offered to Jinhai. After five minutes, Jinhai started to feel uncomfortable. Huian tried to help him and there was some disagreement at first, but she managed to convince him.
She reached near the elevator supporting him on her shoulders and then everything blacked out.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Liu Chunhua got restless. âWhat happened to my Jinhai!? His condition looked just like Nana. Hai, do something! Where is my son!?â, she asked shaking his arm.
âItâs alright Chunhua. He must be fine. Jing, letâs go. Jinhaiâs room is on the thirteenth floor.â
âYup.â He narrowed his eyes at Xiang Wei and Xiang Qingge. âWe clearly saw Huian tampering my brotherâs drink. If something bad happened to my brother, then I wonât spare her, Uncle and Aunt.â
Father Xiang would have got offended by his threat, but he was stunned watching the clip.
Grandma Liu thought, The thing Huian mixed in his drinkâ¦is that what I think it is?
â
The thirteenth floor in Jinhaiâs room.
Assistant Xin slowly woke up. He opened his eyes, and a sharp pain shot from his head.
âOuch!â
He held his forehead and looked at the dried blood on his palm. Instantly, he remembered everything.
He got up. âOh no! Sir Liu Jinhai! What time is it?â
He saw more than three hours already gone by.
Noâ¦did she succeed in drugging sir? Am I too late?
Just then somebody knocked on the door.
âJinhai! Are you there inside? Open the door.â It was Liu Hai calling.
âBro, are you alright? Please say something.â, Jing asked.
Xin quickly opened the door.
âJinhai-â, Liu Chunhua was about to rush inside but was shocked seeing Xin instead. Everybody else too.
âA-assistant Xin. What are you doing here in Jinhaiâs room?â
âSir, Mam. We really donât have time for this. Where is Sir and Lady Liu?â, he asked with great tension evident on his face.
Liu Hai said, âWe came here looking for him. But what happened? Why are you so worried?â
âI will tell you everything. First, we need to find them!â
âMom, dadâ, a voice came from behind.
They turned and saw Huian behind them.
Xiang Qingge and Xiang Wei rushed to her, âHuian! Where were you?â
âI-I-â, she stuttered.
But, suddenly Xin dashed outside and entered the room from where Huian came out. He thoroughly checked inside but didnât find Jinhai.
âWhere is Sir?â, he snarled, giving Huian a deathly glare.
When she saw Xin, she remembered their conversation, and how she knocked him out.
Crap, I totally forgot about him! He knows everything. But how is he out here? I had locked him in the bathroom!
Her mind was busy thinking and speculating about that mystery man who kidnapped her, that Xin completely slipped from her mind.
Xiang Wei was angered. âYou! Whatâs with that tone? Speak respectfully to my daughter!â
Assistant Xin didnât bother. His main priority was to know the whereabouts of his boss right now.
Huian got afraid and immediately rushed to him. âAssistant Xin! Have you seen my Jinhai?â, she acted as if she was concerned.
As she got closer to him, she whispered in a low voice, âPlease donât say anything now. Let us talk about this later, okay?â
Xin sneered. âYou wish.â
Huian gnashed her teeth. âPlease. Listen to me. I had my reasons.â
âWhich you can use them to try to fool your family. But not me.â
âYou-â
âWhat are you whispering Huian? Tell us too.â, Jing smirked.
She wished to kill Jing for unnecessarily blabbing his mouth.
Chen Liling couldnât take it anymore. âEnough! Itâs good that we found Huian but what about Nana and Jinhai? They are still missing.â
Huianâs heart thumped.
Jinhai andâ¦Nana? She is also missing? A-are they together? But Jinhai is drugged. Then⦠No. No, no, no. Iâm thinking too much. It might be a coincidence.
Jing said, âWhy donât we check the twelfth floor? That waitress couldnât have carried Sister Nana any farther than this floor. She also looked sick. The eleventh floor is locked down. Nobody can enter. So it can only be the twelfth floor.â
Chen Liling said, âYes. Letâs not waste any more time. Let us quickly head there.â
