Jiang Mian briefly explained the situation.
"Miss Tang went to the Grand Court to deliver a dress and hasn't come out since. Miss Zhao was taken away from the bar and looks like she's unconscious."
When two people get into trouble together, it's hard not to worry.
After a moment of silence, Huo Chenyu turned to look at Tang Li and whispered to Jiang Mian:
"Give me the list of people attending the banquet at Haoting. Also, send your men out in two groups."
Jiang Mian sighed softly:
"Boss, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
This happened so suddenly; it's likely that someone was deliberately retaliating.
Actually, Huo Chenyu knew perfectly well what was going on without him saying it.
He lowered his voice:
"Go to the Weiran Riverside."
It turns out the boss knew everything.
only……
"Miss Lin may not see me."
Jiang Mian was telling the truth; neither Tang Sui nor Zhao Wenxun could afford to delay.
"Boss, you might need to go to Miss Lin's place in person."
To avoid wasting unnecessary time.
Go in person?
On the night of their remarriage, did he go to see his ex-fiancée?
Is he just stupid or clueless?
"I'll have someone go to her place. You go find Miss Zhao."
Huo Chenyu already had someone in mind.
He would never step into such a minefield, and even if it came to the point where he had to confront them head-on, he would still take Tang Li with him.
He still possesses this kind of awareness even though he is a married man.
As for the banquet guest list, Huo Chenyu immediately spotted Song Nanxiu's name.
He is Song Nanzhou's older brother.
Huo Chenyu called him.
He said on the phone:
"It seems your sister-in-law has gotten into trouble tonight. You'd better come over here yourself."
At this point, if you take the tunnel across the river and there's no traffic, it only takes about twenty minutes to get there.
Song Nanxiu also said:
"However, since Miss Lin is also here, given your status, you should probably avoid any appearance of impropriety."
Is Lin Yiyun there too?
She would never have bothered attending a banquet of this caliber before.
Moreover, given all that has happened today, she should lay low for now.
It seems she really can't hold her temper.
Huo Chenyu left with a sentence:
"I'll be there in twenty minutes, can you keep an eye on things for me?"
Then, he made a phone call to Jiang Mian:
"Withdraw all the people you sent to the Grand Court and search for Miss Zhao with all your might. I want her safe and sound. You can decide what to do."
The most urgent task right now is to save my sister-in-law.
He had witnessed Zhao Wenxun's prowess firsthand.
Zhao Wenxun was a seasoned veteran of the pleasure quarters and was very vigilant, so he usually wouldn't get into trouble in those kinds of places.
Compared to Zhao Wenxun's seemingly more dangerous situation, Huo Chenyu was more worried about Tang Sui, who was naive and inexperienced in the ways of the world.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Chenyu quickly walked up to Tang Li.
There was no time to explain to Tang Li; he only slowly explained it to her after getting into the car.
What happened tonight was very strange.
Tang Li felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Miss Lin, what brings you to this banquet today?" Tang Li couldn't help but ask.
This is utterly baffling.
Banquets like this, where wealthy socialites gather, are inherently places for gossip and discussion due to the large number of people and the cacophony of voices.
People of high standing generally avoid such banquets of varying quality.
"Don't worry, I've already had someone keeping an eye on her. Tang Sui will be fine."
Huo Chenyu reached out and patted Tang Li on the back of the head, comforting him.
The car arrived at the mansion quickly.
Tang Li didn't have time to sort out the matter. As he stepped into the mansion, Song Nanxiu came out to greet him and said to Huo Chenyu:
"Found her, your sister-in-law is upstairs in private room number six."
After saying this, Song Nanxiu held Huo Chenyu's hand, pressed it close to his chest, and whispered in his ear:
"Miss Lin is also in the private room; they've been inside for a long time."
Remembering that Tang Yuan's accident also happened in the rest room, Huo Chenyu quickly led Tang Li upstairs and practically kicked open the door to room number six.
"Year after year".
As soon as the door opened, Tang Li was the first to rush in.
Tang Sui lay on the sofa in the private room, barely alive. Nan Zhi stood in front of her, holding a pair of scissors, and was bending over towards Tang Sui.
"Get lost."
Huo Chenyu strode over, grabbed Nan Zhi, who was stained with blood, and threw her to the ground.
Nan Zhi instinctively sought support and bumped into Huo Chenyu's trouser leg.
After being kicked away by Huo Chenyu, she lost her balance and fell to the ground again, the scissors piercing her palm.
The pain made her cry out.
Lin Yiyun panicked, bending down to help Nanzhi up while calling out:
"Big brother."
"Get out." Huo Chenyu yelled at her directly.
Lin Yiyun, whose eyes instantly welled up with tears, helped Nanzhi out of the private room.
"Sui Sui, I'm here. I'm your older sister."
Tang Li held Tang Sui's cold little hand; she was covered in blood and barely clothed.
The person had already fainted.
Huo Chenyu took off his coat and covered Tang Sui with it. After gently helping Tang Li up, he bent down and carefully picked up Tang Sui. He walked to the door and said to Song Nanxiu:
"Please call the police."
Upon hearing that the police were to be called, Lin Yiyun panicked, grabbed Huo Chenyu's arm, and shook her head, saying:
"Big brother, don't call the police."
Fearing that Tang Sui might get hurt, Huo Chenyu did not shake off Lin Yiyun.
Instead, he coldly said to her:
"Don't touch me, I find it dirty."
Lin Yiyun let go of his hand and looked at Huo Chenyu with a pleading expression.
Huo Chenyu's arrival tonight has changed the atmosphere of the entire banquet.
