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 Qianqian’s eyes seemed to be hazy. There was no focus on them.
“Qianqian, Qianqian, how do you feel? Don’t scare me, Qianqian…”
“Mother?” Zhao Qianqian’s voice sounded as though she’d cried. Her face was red and her breathing was uneven.
“Mother is here. Don’t be afraid.” Mother Zhao hugged her child with a painful heart.
Father Zhao walked over too and asked in a gentle and soft voice, “Qianqian, do you remember what happened?”
“I…” Zhao Qianqian’s breathing was very unstable.
“Don’t be in a hurry. Talk slowly.” Mother Zhao consoled Zhao Qianqian.
Zhao Qianqian took a few breaths and grabbed the corners of the blanket. “I, I don’t know. I drank a gla.s.s and then I can’t remember anything. Mother, what happened to me?”
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, “Who gave you the drink?”
Zhao Qianqian bit her lip. “I took it from the table. Is… is there something wrong with the drink?”
“Uncle, the truth is out now.” Yu Yuan immediately stood out. “Miss Zhao took the drink herself. This has nothing to do with Keke.”
An Keke heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Luckily, Zhao Qianqian didn’t know anything.
“Keke?” Zhao Qianqian looked at the person Yu Yuan was protecting. Her eyes were confused. “Mother, what happened?”
Zhao Qianqian looked as though she really didn’t 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 Qianqian’s drink?
Ming Shu suddenly interrupted them. “There are surveillance cameras outside.”
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.
“Let me call the manager of the hotel,” Father Zhao said.
An Keke’s face turned even paler. She grabbed Yu Yuan’s elbow tighter unknowingly. This b.i.t.c.h 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.
–
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. Didn’t 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 gla.s.s 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 gla.s.ses.
At this moment, a man walked to the drinks bar and blocked the two gla.s.ses 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 gla.s.ses and he probably only drugged her gla.s.s. However, she didn’t say anything and swapped her gla.s.s with Zhao Qianqian’s.
“Keke…” Yu Yuan looked at her in disbelief.
“An Keke, you still say that it is not you!” Mother Zhao exploded immediately. “Why are you so evil at such a young age. Our Qianqian treats you so well. How can you do such a thing?”
An Keke shook her head. Her eyes turned red. “It wasn’t me, I didn’t drug her.”
“No, you didn’t 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 Qianqian’s drink. You…” Father Zhao couldn’t control his anger anymore.
Luckilu, nothing happened to Qianqian.
If something really happened… Mother Zhao and Father Zhao didn’t want to think of the implications.
“Keke, why?” The redness on Zhao Qianqian’s face had subsided. Her face was pale now. “Why did you do this to me?”
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 couldn’t control herself.
It was all because of Nan Zhi. If it wasn’t for her, she wouldn’t 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.
“Who is this? She even has a bodyguard?”
“I don’t know.”
“When 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 don’t know who they are.”
Boom—
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 didn’t 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 b.u.mped into him. He couldn’t see where Ming Shu was at all.
If something happened to Miss, his life would be over.
“Ah Sen.”
“Miss?” Ah Sen looked toward his side based on his instinct. “Miss, are you all right?”
“Where is Bei Tang?”
Mister!
Ah Sen’s heart started tightening. He followed the voice and found Miss. “Miss, let me send you to a safe place first.”
“Bring me along to find him.”
“Miss…”
“If we talk any longer, we might see his corpse. Do you want to reserve a time at the crematory now so that you don’t have to wait?”
“…” He was wrong!
