This was putting her in a difficult position, and Su Jin smiled faintly.
She lowered her hand, picked up her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then slammed the glass down on the table. Suddenly, she stood up and said, "Here, I must confess something to everyone, which is..."
Wang Keyi silently walked over and stood behind Su Jin; this was the only strength he could offer her at the moment. Bai Qingchi's eyes widened, a smile she couldn't hide playing on her lips.
Bai Qingchi: "What? You got married?"
Lead actor: "Impossible, Su Ling must be trying to say something else."
"Others? So what exactly are you trying to say, Su Ling?" Bai Qingchi maintained his smile. "It's not good for you to keep me in suspense like this."
“I was once married, and had an unhappy marriage, thanks to one of my best friends.” Su Jin glanced at Bai Qingchi, then looked arrogantly at everyone. “But all that is in the past. I am a brand new me now, like I have been reborn.”
The male lead actor reacted quickly, grasping her key point: "Su Ling, you are... divorced?"
"That's exactly what I mean." Su Jin showed no fear and gave Bai Qingchi a confident look.
That was a look that even Bai Qingchi couldn't fake, and a hint of jealousy ignited in Bai Qingchi's heart.
Bai Qingchi thought to herself: All you have is a good family, your parents love you dearly. Besides that, what do you have that I don't? If I had a harmonious family like yours, I could be just as confident. But you've had a smooth life from birth, attending the best schools, having a husband like Zhao Xichen, and even your second husband was someone like Young Master Zheng. What makes you think you deserve all this, Su Jin?
"Divorce is normal these days, actors are people too."
"That's right. Let's keep eating and drinking, and forget about the unhappy things tomorrow."
Most of them were understanding or liked to say nice things, so no one would deliberately make things difficult for Su Jin. The more this was the case, the more upset Bai Qingchi felt.
Bai Qingchi didn't exhale.
The game ended, and the dishes were served again.
Bai Qingchi, along with several staff members, kept getting Su Jin and Wang Keyi drunk. Later, Mao Cui volunteered to personally escort them back. No one knew what evil intentions she had. Everyone praised her for her hard work.
After the birthday celebration, everyone dispersed.
At this moment, Wang Keyi was so drunk that he lost track of day and night, and collapsed on the table like a lump of mud.
Su Jin was still somewhat conscious. She took out her phone and sent a message to Assistant Wang, asking him to come pick her up.
While she was still waiting, someone helped the two of them out of the restaurant.
With her arm held up, Su Jin was dragged forward unsteadily, shaking her head in refusal: "Don't touch me, I'm dizzy, if you touch me again I'll throw up."
Bai Qingchi took them back to the hotel, took out Wang Keyi's room card, opened the door, and put Wang Keyi on the bed.
When Su Jin saw Wang Keyi lying there, she knew this wasn't her room. She reached for the door to leave, but Bai Qingchi pushed her to the ground.
"Since we're already here, how can we leave? Just stay here." Bai Qingchi said to the two burly men, "Throw her up there, tie her up, and don't let her run away."
Su Jin had already realized what Bai Qingchi was up to. Bai Qingchi wanted to ruin her and Wang Keyi's reputation. As long as the two of them stayed in the same room for one night, the paparazzi would come looking for them the next morning.
With her hands bound, Su Jin was thrown onto the bed. As she tried to sit up, Bai Qingchi looked down at her, pinching her chin and saying, "After today, Zheng Lin will never love you again. When she finds out what kind of woman you are, she'll only want to kill you."
A hint of madness ignited in Bai Qingchi's eyes. He continued to clench his fists tightly and said fiercely, "You can no longer stop my happiness!"
She lit the handmade aromatherapy candle on the table, turned around, closed the door, and left.
The bedside lamp shone dimly, casting a hazy, dim light on the two of them.
Su Jin turned around and smelled a strange fragrance in the room, which made her, who was already dizzy, even more dizzy and hot all over.
"Wang Keyi, wake up!" Su Jin was weak all over and could only call out to him in a weak voice, trying to wake him up.
But Wang Keyi was so drunk that he was completely unconscious and was sleeping soundly.
After Assistant Wang arrived at the address given by Chairman Su, he entered the private room, only to find it empty. He then made a phone call.
Just then, Bai Qingchi's bag started ringing incessantly. It was Su Jin's bag and phone.
Bai Qingchi took out his phone, glanced at it, and then put it back in his bag.
She raised her hand, hooking her purse with her fingers, and said to the two men she had hired today, "Take this and find somewhere to throw it away. Pretend today's events never happened. If you dare betray me, Young Master Zheng won't let you off the hook. Understand?"
Meanwhile, Assistant Wang stood at the restaurant entrance and called Su Jin's cell phone several times, but no one answered. He then sensed something was wrong and quickly contacted Assistant Gao.
"Boss, Assistant Wang says he needs to see you urgently."
At Assistant Wang's request, Assistant Gao transferred the call to Zheng Lin.
Zheng Lin was reading a book. He had just turned a page when he put his phone on speakerphone and placed it aside.
Assistant Wang: "Young Master Zheng, I know I shouldn't bother you, but I have no other choice but to contact you now. Our Chairman Su has gone missing, and I'm worried something might have happened to her."
Zheng Lin picked up his phone. "What did you say? She's missing? Where did she disappear to?"
"She disappeared at the hotel. When I arrived, she was already gone. I don't know who took her away."
"I understand." Zheng Lin put his phone aside.
Assistant Gao stepped forward and said, "I'll go check the restaurant's surveillance footage right now, boss, don't worry."
The thought that Xiao Jin might have been kidnapped or abducted again made Zheng Lin's heart pound, and even breathing felt suffocating.
Leaving Zheng Lin to wait alone would only make him more anxious, so they went to the restaurant together to check the surveillance footage, but a segment of the footage in the monitoring room was missing.
"How could this happen? Could someone have tampered with it beforehand and come prepared?" Assistant Gao was at a loss; this matter was extremely troublesome tonight.
The hotel security guard said, "We probably can't find him. The security cameras outside the hotel broke down a few days ago, and no one has come to fix them yet."
Assistant Wang was also a bit flustered. "What do we do? My boss was eating at your restaurant. Such a big guy, just disappearing like that? You guys are really not taking customer safety seriously!"
Su Jin had always treated Assistant Wang with great kindness, like a friend. When the incident occurred, Assistant Wang was extremely anxious.
The security guard was so flustered by the man's shouting that he stood there stunned for several seconds. Assistant Gao pulled Assistant Wang back to calm him down.
Zheng Lin could only force himself to remain calm and had his assistant, Gao, call all the waiters from today for questioning. The accurate information he finally obtained was that Su Jin was put into a car by three or four people and taken away.
