After a few minutes, Ning Nanxue was chatting and laughing with Jiang Tingchen when her body suddenly shook and she covered her forehead with her hands.

"Xue'er, what's wrong?" Jiang Tingchen held her arm, his tone full of concern.

"It's okay," Ning Nanxue said in a slightly dazed voice, "I just feel a little dizzy. It might be because I danced too fast and drank a little."

As she spoke, her body leaned limply against Jiang Tingchen, her breathing becoming a little heavy.

"Xue'er!" Jiang Tingchen's face darkened and he picked her up horizontally.

The person in his arms gave him a subtle "it's okay" hint, but the anxiety and anger on his face were not fake.

He swept his eyes around sharply, and finally stopped at Su Yao's face not far away.

"Someone come!" Jiang Tingchen's voice was as cold as ice. "Call the doctor! Also, call the banquet hall manager and security guards!"

After he shouted, the banquet hall suddenly became much quieter, and the guests all looked over at him, surprised and suspicious.

Su Yao stood there, watching Jiang Tingchen holding the "fainted" Ning Nanxue, and listening to his determination to get to the bottom of the matter, the color on her face instantly disappeared.

She didn't expect Jiang Tingchen to react so strongly. She just wanted to embarrass Ning Nanxue and didn't want to make such a big deal out of it.

Su's mother kept staring at her daughter. Seeing this situation, there was nothing she didn't understand.

She walked quickly to Su Yao's side, grabbed her daughter's cold hand, and lowered her voice: "What are you panicking about! Stay steady!"

While steadying her daughter, she quickly took out her cell phone from her handbag. While everyone's attention was on Jiang Tingchen, she sent a message. Her movements were quick and covert.

After a while, several security guards and the banquet hall manager came running over.

"Mr. Jiang, what happened?" The manager's forehead was covered with sweat.

"Ms. Ning passed out after drinking that glass of champagne," Jiang Tingchen pointed at the untouched glass of wine on the table. "I suspect there's something wrong with the wine. I want to see the surveillance footage to see who tampered with it."

His words left no room for negotiation.

"This..." The manager nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, we will definitely cooperate. The monitoring room is upstairs, we'll be there right away."

When Su Yao heard the words "check surveillance", she almost couldn't stand.

Su's mother supported her and signaled her with her eyes not to reveal the truth.

Jiang Tingchen settled Ning Nanxue down and let her lean against a familiar lady. He then strode to the monitoring room with two security guards and the manager.

Some people who loved to watch the fun also wanted to follow, but were stopped by the staff.

People in the banquet hall began to whisper.

"Su Yao, tell me the truth, did you do it?" Su's mother lowered her voice and spoke in a heavier tone.

"Mom, I just wanted to embarrass her, I didn't mean to..." Su Yao's voice was filled with tears.

"Stupid!" Mother Su glared at her, angry and anxious. "How dare you use such a despicable trick? Can't he see who Jiang Tingchen is? Our Su family hasn't fallen to the point of resorting to such dirty tricks!"

Su Yao looked anxious and lost her composure for a moment.

In desperation, she could only tightly grasp Su's mother's sleeve and plead, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I was just impulsive. What's more, Ning Nanxue didn't drink much at all, so it won't be a problem!"

"You must help me. If Tingchen finds out, I'll never have a chance!"

If there weren't so many people at the scene, Su Yao would have been kneeling on the ground when she said the last sentence.

But even if her daughter is a loser, she is still her biological daughter. How can a mother not feel sorry for her?

"Don't worry, I've asked someone to delete the surveillance footage. Even if they guess it was you, they don't have conclusive evidence. Cheer up!" Mother Su said, patting the back of Su Yao's hand with a turn of her eyes.

"Keep a close eye on them and be flexible. Mother will never let anything happen to you."

After saying this, Su Yao nodded fiercely, but still regretted her impulsive behavior just now, fearing that she and Jiang Tingchen would become more and more distant.

Not long after, Jiang Tingchen and the manager came back from the monitoring room, both of them looked unhappy.

The manager walked up to the group, wiped his sweat, and said a little embarrassedly: "Everyone, I'm really sorry. We just checked the surveillance and found..."

He paused before continuing, "The camera leading to this corner of the banquet hall, recording nearly half an hour... the data is corrupted. We're investigating the cause."

"Data damaged?" Jiang Tingchen raised his eyebrows, his emotions unclear. "Why would it break down at this moment, not earlier or later? What a coincidence."

When Su Yao heard this, her heart dropped halfway, but Jiang Tingchen's scrutinizing eyes still made her feel uncomfortable.

Ning Nanxue also woke up at this time, leaning in Jiang Tingchen's arms, her face slightly uncomfortable, her voice weak: "Tingchen, forget it, maybe I'm just not feeling well, plus I drank a little bit of wine. It's common for surveillance cameras to break down, don't bother everyone."

She also smiled at everyone with an apologetic look.

Jiang Tingchen looked down at her, his eyes softened, and he reached out to touch her hair: "You are just too soft-hearted."

How could he not know in his heart that the surveillance was broken so "coincidentally" that it would be strange if there was no one behind it. It was most likely the mother and daughter of the Su family.

He looked up at Su's mother and Su Yao. There was no flaw on Su's mother's face, and she even showed some concern for Ning Nanxue. Su Yao lowered her head and did not dare to look at him.

Jiang Tingchen snorted in his heart, but he also understood that without direct evidence, it would only be an ugly war of words if the dispute continued. The Su family was also well-known in the local area, and no one would benefit if they really fell out.

"Since Xue'er said so, let's forget about today's matter." Jiang Tingchen's voice returned to his usual gentle tone, but his eyes held a hint of warning. "However, if I find out anyone wants to attack Xue'er again in the future, I, Jiang Tingchen, will investigate thoroughly and will not let them off."

He said this to everyone, but his eyes glanced at Su Yao intentionally or unintentionally.

Su Yao's body tensed up and her face turned even paler.

Mother Su also understood what Jiang Tingchen meant. She took a step forward and said to Ning Nanxue, "Miss Ning, I'm sorry to have frightened you. We didn't arrange the banquet well. We will definitely check all the facilities carefully when we get back."

Ning Nanxue shook her head: "Mrs. Su, you're too polite. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired and want to go back and rest early."

"It's my duty, it's my duty." Su's mother said hurriedly.

The doctor arrived at this moment and hurried through the crowd.

Jiang Tingchen carried Ning Nanxue to the reception room. There was a lot of discussion outside the door, and everyone obviously felt that the situation at the banquet was not simple.

"Doctor, could you please help me see what's going on?"

The doctor didn't say anything, just did a simple examination. A moment later, he asked someone to send the glass of wine for inspection.

In less than half an hour, the test results came out.

"Mr. Jiang, there's a mild drug in this glass of champagne. Fortunately, Miss Ning didn't take much, so she'll be able to metabolize it after a short rest."
