At that moment, Fang Wenjie, who was seeing off his friend on the other side of the gate, suddenly thought he saw his sister following several men into the hotel next door.
No, he has to go and see.
On the other hand, Qian Lai is also facing an even greater crisis.
She had just awkwardly declined Hua Cheng's invitation and was staring blankly at his dejected departing figure.
Gradually, she sensed a man approaching her.
She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and saw that he looked to be in his thirties or forties, with long, slicked-back hair that curled slightly at the ends. He had a pair of dog-like eyes and eyebrows that were so pale they were almost colorless, yet each eyebrow had a long wisp of mustache.
Qian Lai couldn't help but shudder; this person's appearance was too bizarre.
"Are you Teacher Xiaoran?" The man actually knew him?
Qian Lai subconsciously moved to the side.
The man exuded an aura of yin energy, as if he were an ancient demon who had emerged from the deep mountains and dense forests.
"I am a reporter from the Metro Daily. It's a pleasure to meet you here."
The man handed a glass of champagne to Qian Lai.
She instinctively wanted to avoid it, but then she thought that since they were colleagues and from the same media compound, they would inevitably run into each other in the future.
In such a public setting, it wouldn't be appropriate to embarrass someone.
So she politely accepted the champagne but didn't drink a drop.
"I have read every essay you have published. I never imagined that Ms. Xiaoran would be so young and beautiful. I have been a journalist for twenty years, and I hope to have more discussions with Ms. Xiaoran in the future."
The other person politely raised their glass and took a sip.
Qian Lai subconsciously clinked glasses with the other person and then took a sip.
Just then, a few young people suddenly appeared behind them, chatting and laughing wildly, which made them lose their composure and almost bump into Qian Lai.
The man reacted quickly, taking a step to block the group, but he himself was almost knocked over.
"Are you alright, Teacher Xiaoran?"
Qian Lai: Perhaps I was judging people by their appearance!
They just look a little different from others; that doesn't necessarily mean they're a bad person.
Qian Lai shook his head, completely letting down his guard.
The two then had a long chat about their views and insights on modern intellectual literature, and Qian Lai discovered that the other person was quite talented.
After several rounds, their glasses were almost empty. Only then did she realize that she didn't know who the other person was.
So he spoke up: "Senior, may I ask your honorable name?"
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyelids twitched twice, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips: "My name is Liu Shifan!"
Liu Shifan!
Why does this name sound familiar?
Metropolitan Daily?
She remembered—it was the reporter who got the Gu family on the front page!
Qian Lai immediately had a bad feeling.
At that moment, for some reason, a sudden surge of emotion welled up inside me, an irresistible itch that rose from the bottom up.
Especially down there, deep in your private area, how can you quickly develop a strange feeling?
My head started to feel unsteady, and my vision gradually became blurry.
She shook her head violently, only to see the man with the "bitch eyes" opposite her staring at her with a lewd expression, his face radiating smugness that said, "You can't escape now."
Oh no, someone has spiked this wine!
She finally realized that this person's approach to her was entirely malicious!
She struggled to control her senses, wanting to rush towards the door. She wanted to get out, find a secluded spot, quickly return to her spatial dimension, and get an injection.
However, her journey has been incredibly difficult.
It seemed as if all her points of excitement had been ignited.
If she didn't quickly escape people's sight in public, she would probably make a huge fool of herself.
Liu Shifan looked at his masterpiece with pride. He wanted her to strip naked in front of everyone and commit adultery.
With so many reporters and celebrities present, let's see how she can maintain her foothold in the new city.
Isn't she a show-off? Isn't she the most promising author to win awards? Tomorrow, let's make her the front page of every major media outlet and turn her into a despicable scoundrel despised by everyone.
The more I thought about it, the happier I felt.
Several people who had been arranged beforehand deliberately blocked Qian Lai's way, circling around her to delay her departure.
Some people even deliberately reached out to hold her hand, pretending to want to dance with her.
This medicine is incredibly potent!
Qian Lai had never had such an experience before, and this experience could really kill him.
At this point, under the influence of the drug, her consciousness was gradually becoming confused.
She saw a bridal chamber surrounded by red curtains, and a handsome man with his back to her, slowly taking off his clothes.
That person was clearly extending an invitation: "Honey, come on. Let's have some fun together!"
When the man turned around, Qian Lai was surprised to find that it was Qiao Muting.
How could it be him!
"Mu Ting." Seeing him, she seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Someone is trying to harm me; they put something in my drink..."
She longed to kiss him, but just then, someone whispered in her ear, "Qian Lai, what's wrong? It's me, Hua Cheng. Wake up."
Hua Cheng!
The sound came at just the right time; a second later, and she might have been throwing herself into his arms in her dream.
"Hua Cheng?"
Consciousness briefly returned for a few seconds.
After confirming with her eyes that the person embracing her was indeed Hua Cheng.
"I want to go out. Send me away."
These were the last words she uttered, relying on her remaining consciousness.
"What are you doing? This is my friend, hand her over to me right now."
A strange man blocked Hua Cheng's path and reached out to grab Qian Lai.
Hua Cheng, holding Qian Lai, quickly disappeared, saying, "She's not feeling well; I have to take her away."
The man tried to step forward again, but Hua Cheng shouted, "Let her go. If you dare to obstruct her again, and anything happens to her, we'll see you at the police station."
Just then, a security guard from the venue passed by, and the man, realizing the situation was not right, reluctantly let go.
Hua Cheng quickly escorted Qian Lai out of the hall.
Qian Lai's lust, under the influence of drugs, was gradually spreading like wildfire.
Her slender arms climbed onto Hua Cheng's shoulders, and she kept murmuring, "I want it so badly!"
"Qian Lai, Qian Lai, I'll take you to the hospital."
His repeated calls briefly revived Qian Lai's gradually sinking consciousness.
"I'm so thirsty. Take me to the lounge, I want some water."
Hua Cheng's heart is in turmoil.
We had no choice but to follow her instructions and took her to the smallest lounge. Very few people came there; she should be safe from being bothered by bad guys.
Actually, this is just a small, enclosed storage room created by sealing off a small area at the end of the corridor.
Hua Cheng helped the person onto the sofa: "Sit here for a moment, I'll go get you some water. Is that alright?"
Qian Lai nodded.
As soon as Hua Cheng stepped out, Qian Lai swiftly flashed into the spatial dimension.
She remembered that the lab should have some chemical materials that might be used to make an antidote.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the lab, she was thrown onto a two-meter-wide bed by the spatial dimension.
Lying on one side of the bed was a man, none other than Qiao Muting!
