Chapter 154, Section 5.2
Just as Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen were having an internal struggle, a soft knock sounded on the door. They exchanged a glance, and Gu Yishen got up to open the door.
Ye Jian and Yu Jiu rushed to Gu Yishen's room and were relieved to see that Luo Jiayin had already woken up.
"Luo Jia, are you alright?" Ye Jian asked with concern.
"It's all alright now, Yejian. Thank you so much for being here today," Luo Jiayin replied with a smile.
After everyone was seated inside, Ye Jian frowned and asked Luo Jiayin, "What happened today? Do you two remember anything?"
Luo Jiayin and Yu Jiu exchanged a glance, and she spoke first.
“I know exactly what happened. I didn’t come into contact with any special people, and nothing strange happened at the venue.”
"Everything I ate, drank, and touched was from the banquet hall. If I were to say..."
Luo Jiayin pondered for a moment.
"If there's anything strange about it, it's that I ran into Lin Manxi when I was about to go to the restroom. She congratulated me on getting an investment spot in the 'Star Making Project' and even had a drink with me."
"However, the drink I took from the waiter who was passing by was just something I grabbed and drank right away. Logically, she shouldn't have had any chance to tamper with it..."
After Luo Jiayin finished speaking, the group exchanged glances and then turned their attention to Yu Jiu.
"Jiu Jiu, what about you?" Ye Jian asked.
Upon hearing Yami's words, Luo Jiayin's eyes lit up.
Oh my? Jiu Jiu. You've changed your address so quickly. It seems Gu Yishen is about to fall out of favor with their little Jiu Jiu.
Luo Jiayin's lips curled up slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Gu Yishen.
Gu Yishen happened to glance at Luo Jiayin at that moment, and their eyes met.
Seeing Luo Jia's mischievous grin, Gu Yishen felt a moment of embarrassment and quickly looked away, pretending to listen attentively to Yu Jiu.
Out of the urge to secretly tease someone only to be caught red-handed, Luo Jiayin immediately suppressed her smile and looked away, slightly embarrassed.
As a result, Gu, the great movie star, misunderstood again.
Gu Yishen: Was Luo Jia spying on me just now? Why was he smiling and looking at me with such affection? Does he see me as someone special?
Luo Jiayin was unaware of Gu Yishen's inner thoughts. Seeing Yu Jiu begin to speak, she truly began to listen attentively to Yu Jiu's narration.
“I remember… at that time, Luo Jia said he was going to the bathroom, and then a little while later, I received a message from him saying that he was going back to his room.”
"Then, about a minute later, a hotel staff member ran over to me and said that Luo Jia seemed to be drunk and had fallen at the elevator entrance, and asked me to go and check on him."
“I was startled and worried that something had happened to Luo Jia, so I quickly followed him out to the elevator.”
“When I got there, I didn’t see Luo Jia. Then I asked him, and he said that his colleagues might have taken him up there. He even suggested that he come up with me to take a look.”
“I thought what he said made sense, so I went into the elevator with him.”
"Who would have thought that as soon as we got to the 23rd floor and stepped out of the elevator, someone covered our noses from behind..."
As Yu Jiu spoke, she rolled her eyes, seemingly furious at the other person's sneaky behavior of sneaking around and covering their nose.
Yu Jiu was indeed furious. What kind of skill is it to launch a sneak attack from behind? She was just a helpless little woman!
These bad guys these days are really becoming more and more "uncivilized"!
“I think the waiter who got the wine from Luo Jia might be the same waiter who later went to inform Yu Jiu that Luo Jia had fallen.”
"And why is it such a coincidence that Lin Manxi was toasting Luo Jia there, and the waiter just happened to be passing by with a tray of wine on it."
After listening to Yu Jiu's account, Ye Jian's face showed a thoughtful expression. While sorting out the events that had occurred, he gave his analysis of the matter.
"But who is that waiter? And why would he orchestrate something like this between Luo Jia and Yu Jiu..."
As Yami analyzed the situation, he himself became somewhat puzzled.
Judging from Luo Jiayin's identity, the people who want to harm her are probably her heartless father Luo Huaimin and her vicious stepmother Dai Fengjiao.
If we consider her identity as "Jialan," the most likely culprits to eliminate her are the Henry Group or some underground forces in Southeast Asia.
The problem is that the person who got into trouble at the Song Group's party today was not the eldest daughter of the Luo Group, "Luo Jiayin," nor the head of the Black Mansion, "Jialan," but just the popular idol of China, "Luo Jia," and his personal assistant, Yu Jiu.
No, there was actually another person involved in the whole incident—the strange woman who inexplicably appeared in Luo Jiayin's room.
"By the way, where's the woman in the room?"
Before Ye Jian could speak, Luo Jiayin thought of the woman first and asked.
"I...I took Yu Jiu back to my room and then ignored that woman. I don't know..."
Yami answered somewhat awkwardly, a vague unease creeping into her heart.
Seriously, that was a mistake.
How could he have been so focused on taking Yu Jiu back that he completely forgot about the other woman?
He didn't think to go back and check on her afterward, just in case something happened to her...
But if we go back to see it now, it might be too late...
Yami was filled with regret; he had really been too careless this time.
"I had Feng Xu take her to the hospital."
At this moment, Gu Yishen suddenly spoke up.
"They said that when he went there, there was no one else in the room except that woman. It must have been right after you took Yu Jiu away."
Hearing Gu Yishen's words, Ye Jian breathed a huge sigh of relief, and Luo Jiayin and Yu Jiu also felt much more at ease.
Luo Jiayin looked up at Gu Yishen.
I never expected that this guy could actually be quite reliable when he gets serious about things...
If that woman continues to stay in Luo Jiayin's room, it will inevitably cause her a lot of trouble.
"By the way, I just called... my doctor friend over to check on Yu Jiu's condition. She must have noticed something was wrong when she passed by. This is what she gave me; it must have been something she found strange and took a picture of."
