Lu Anning and Ding Wan were stunned for a moment. Before they could react, a white figure stood on the elevator and slowly descended. Lu Anning recognized at a glance that the person wearing a white butterfly mask was Bai Lu.
"Good evening, distinguished guests! I'm Xiaobai, the owner of the teahouse."
"Boss Bai, didn't you say there were new products? Everyone's already played, and the Lucky Stars have been drawn. Let's get straight to the point!"
Others followed suit, saying, "Everyone's here for your special-effect tea, so stop keeping us in suspense."
Bai Lu slowly walked down from the elevator and walked towards Lu An Ning in the center of the dance floor under the attention of everyone.
The surroundings were dim, with two beams of light shining on the two of them. Seeing Bai Lu approaching with a smile, but with a cold light in her eyes, Lu An Ning suddenly became nervous.
Could it be that she recognized herself?
No way!
Everyone was wearing a mask, so Bai Lu probably wouldn't be able to recognize them just by looking at their backs.
She stared at Lu An Ning, looking him up and down, left and right, and couldn't help but be amazed.
"Such a beautiful guest, I don't even have any impression of her. Could this beauty have sneaked in? Let me take off the mask and take a look."
As she spoke, she raised her hand to take off Lu Anning's mask, but Lu Anning grabbed her wrist.
"Boss Bai, you're a busy man, so it's normal that you don't remember. But, we agreed on a masked ball, and now you want to see my true face. Isn't this breaking the rules of tonight's ball? You're the boss, and breaking your promise is inappropriate, isn't it?"
Ding Wan chimed in, "Boss, you're still not keeping your word. How can anyone trust you?"
There was a burst of discussion around, and a hint of anger flashed in Bai Lu's eyes. She had to let go of her hand reluctantly.
"Alright! Since you're lucky stars, please drink our new product in public. It's a good opportunity to talk to everyone. How do you feel after drinking it?"
As Bai Lu clapped her hands, a waiter immediately came up with two glasses of colorful drinks.
The colorful liquid in the goblet is so beautiful that it makes people unable to take their eyes off it. Under the light, there are some unknown transparent beads shining in the liquid.
I don't know why it was not reviewed, but when they appeared with two drinks, the eyes of the people around them instantly became hot.
“Smells so good!”
“That’s the taste!”
"Why isn't I the lucky star?"
“This new product will definitely be more effective.”
Under the masks, Lu Anning and Ding Wan looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not smell any of the fragrance that these people were talking about.
instead……
Seeing the waiter approaching with two drinks, Lu Anning felt uncomfortable and frowned subconsciously.
Is this the taste these people are flocking to?
Why does she feel sick?
She looked at Ding Wan and got the same answer from Ding Wan's eyes.
Even the rich rose scent couldn't cover up the disgusting taste, but in the eyes of others, it was desirable.
"This is our latest product, called Forget Worry. Drink it and you'll completely forget all the troubles in this world. Please!"
Lu Anning naturally didn't believe that there was anything in this world that could make people forget their troubles. It was either a gimmick, or...
The colorful liquid was handed to him. Lu An Ning stared at it and didn't move. Bai Lu couldn't wait any longer.
"Why? You two wouldn't like it, would you? Don't you see how much the other VIPs here want it? It's an honor for you two to have the chance to get it. What are you waiting for?"
She stared at Lu Anning suspiciously: "Are you not a member of our group?"
Lu Anning smirked: "How can I get an invitation if I'm not a member? It's just that I drove here today, and I'm not feeling well, so I'm not suitable for drinking."
"Then you're wrong! What we have here is not alcohol, but a specially blended drink, used to help everyone regulate their physical condition and help them return to their best condition. You are not feeling well, so this is more suitable for you to drink."
The cup was pushed to Lu Anning's lips. Even with so many eyes staring at him, Lu Anning still didn't move.
Bai Lu lost her patience. "You don't dare drink! I can only treat you as a fake member who sneaked in. You impersonated our distinguished members and snatched away the lucky opportunity that could have belonged to them. I can only have the security guards tie you up and hand you over to the members present to do whatever they want."
Bai Lu emphasized the last few words, and the noises of booing around her became louder.
In the crowd, the men's wolf-like eyes fell on them even more unscrupulously, and the others were looking forward to the excitement that would happen next.
Lu An Ning took the cup with gritted teeth: "Who said I was fake! I'll drink it now."
She held the cup and slowly brought it closer to her mouth, occasionally raising her eyelids to look at Ding Wan.
In the moment when the glass was touching her red lips, Lu Anning and Ding Wan turned over at the same time and poured all the drinks from the two glasses onto Bai Lu.
Bai Lu screamed, and everyone was caught off guard. At this moment, Lu An Ning suddenly smashed the goblet and pressed it against Bai Lu's carotid artery.
The sharp cut left blood marks on her fair neck. The stinging sensation forced Bai Lu to calm down. She stared at Lu An Ning fiercely and wanted to take off her mask restlessly. As soon as her hand moved, Lu An Ning increased the force.
"If you don't want to die, you'd better be honest."
Bai Lu smiled: "I didn't expect you to have such a method. I underestimated you."
Lu An Ning curled his lips. The two of them knew each other's identities very well, but they just didn't say it out loud.
"What on earth did you do with the drink?"
Bai Lu lowered her voice: "Guess!"
As a result of this commotion, a group of security guards rushed in and surrounded the two of them.
"You can't escape. Just let me go and I can make you feel better. Don't worry!"
Seeing that the security guards were surrounding them more and more tightly, Lu Anning glanced at Ding Wan, and when no one was paying attention, he pushed Bai Lu away and ran towards the exit.
At this moment, the surroundings suddenly turned dark, and everyone fell into darkness. Screams were heard everywhere, and the scene was in chaos.
