At this moment, everyone who was originally attending the birthday party was attracted by their noise and looked at the same place at the same time.
Apart from Mr. Zhou's questioning, there was no other sound in the hall.
Zhou Yuan clenched her fists with her hands hanging down at her sides, and her freshly done manicure dug into the palms of her hands.
Zhou Yuan accepted the stares of others and thought of many words in her mind. Finally, she thought of words that could keep herself out of the matter, which was to put all the blame on Wu Xuan.
Now Wu Xuan has been captured by her parents and married to an ugly man, and there is no chance to verify whether it is true or not.
At this moment, she didn't care about friendship.
As soon as Zhou Yuan opened her lips, she heard the man who had brought her medicine an hour ago say, "None of this has anything to do with me. I'm just doing the job for the money. Miss Zhou asked me to drug Xie Shizhu before and then wanted to ruin her innocence. This time she tried to drug Mr. Chi in the same way. It really has nothing to do with me..."
The man's voice trembled more as he spoke. He slowly covered his face with his hands, and fear made tears flow from between his fingers.
Especially when Chi Ze cast a cold gaze at him, he was trembling with fear.
Zhou Yuan's plan to shirk responsibility failed. She opened her lips slightly but couldn't utter a word.
Zhou Yuerou stared at Zhou Yuan angrily. In a flash, she raised her hand and slapped Zhou Yuan in the face. The crisp sound echoed in the hall.
"Zhou Yuan!" Zhou Yuerou was so angry that her teeth were chattering. "Not only did you ask someone to harm me, you also wanted to harm Xie Shizhu. Are you worthy of her? Just now, she was holding the gift for you, carefully protecting it in her arms, afraid that she would drop it on the ground."
Zhou Yuerou's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and she choked up at the end. "She treats you as a friend, but what do you treat her as?"
Everyone in the audience sighed.
Jiang Yuhuai's heart began to ache again. He frowned slightly, and his right eyelid kept twitching. He always had a bad premonition in his mind.
Zhou Yuan noticed that people around her were looking at her with strange eyes. Her long-accumulated resentment burst out. She screamed and said, "What do I take her for? She stole the person I like, and you took over my life. If you hadn't appeared, none of this would have happened. You don't belong here at all..."
Before he finished speaking, Master Zhou used all his strength to strike Zhou Yuan in the face with his shaking palm, and this palm strike knocked Zhou Yuan to the ground.
Mr. Zhou took a deep breath, turned around, bowed to everyone present, and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry for making a fool of myself today. I'll treat you to dinner when I have time. Everyone, go back first. I still have some household chores to take care of. Sorry."
The crowd of onlookers dispersed one after another, and finally only a few people were left in the entire hall.
Zhou Yuan collapsed on the ground, covering her cheek, as if she couldn't hear the sounds around her because of her father's slap.
Master Zhou turned his back on Zhou Yuan and said in a cold and distant voice, "From now on, you are no longer a child of my Zhou family. It's time to return to where you belong."
Zhou Yuan recovered a little from the pain, and then her father wanted to return her to her biological parents.
She collapsed on the ground, her fingers tightly grasping her father's clothes, crying heartbreakingly: "Dad, I was wrong, I don't want to go to the countryside..."
Master Zhou kicked her hand away and said with almost no emotion: "I am not your father, and I never was. Zhou Yuerou is my biological daughter. You are so vicious and cruel. Staying around my daughter is a disaster."
Immediately, a security guard dragged Zhou Yuan away. Zhou Yuan cried and struggled for a long time.
But she was very weak and could not fight against a man. She could only watch her father, Chi Ze, getting farther and farther away from her until they disappeared in her pupils.
Master Zhou exhaled deeply, looked at Chi Ze and Jiang Yuhuai, and smiled ingratiatingly and apologetically: "I apologize to you on behalf of Zhou Yuan."
Jiang Yuhuai narrowed his eyes slightly: "You don't need to apologize to us, the one you should apologize to is Xie Shizhu."
Suddenly, a woman's scream was heard somewhere on the first floor, and then everything returned to calm.
Jiang Yuhuai's smile faded, and he looked at Zhou Yuerou and asked calmly, "Where's Xie Shizhu?"
Zhou Yuerou was startled and pointed to the hallway. "She was in the women's restroom just now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two men beside him subconsciously hurried in the same direction.
Jiang Yuhuai walked straight to the bathroom. The uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. He didn't care about anything and pushed open the door of the women's bathroom.
The bathroom window was open, and the wind outside was howling, making an eerie and sad sound.
Jiang Yuhuai called softly from the bathroom: "Xie Shizhu?"
But the only response he got was still the sound of the wind.
Chi Ze also rushed over. He frowned and asked nervously, "Isn't she here?"
Jiang Yuhuai said "hmm" lightly and walked towards the window. He could not see anything in the pitch-black night. Suddenly, a sound similar to a car horn came into Jiang Yuhuai's ears.
He was slightly startled and looked towards the source of the sound.
A business car had already driven away from the open space next to the hotel, leaving only its tail end.
Jiang Yuhuai's eyelids jumped. He supported himself on the corners of the windowsill with both hands, climbed up briskly, and flipped out of the window cleanly and neatly.
As soon as he stood firm, he stepped on a box. Jiang Yuhuai looked down and saw that it was a pink box with an exquisite bow tied on it.
This should be the birthday gift that Xie Shizhu prepared for Zhou Yuan.
Chi Ze walked to the window and looked outside. He seemed to realize something and said, "It was your father who took Xie Shizhu away?"
Jiang Yuhuai froze, "How did you know?"
Chi Ze said: "After Jiang Ying's son died, he came here twice, and each time he wanted to threaten you through Xie Shizhu. I'm not a fool, I can guess it with just a little thought."
"Has your car had any problems these days? It's probably caused by them. Here are the car keys," Chi Ze threw the keys to his sports car to him, "Go chase them."
Jiang Yuhuai caught the key accurately, his eyes darkening, "Thank you."
"I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this for Xie Shizhu." Chi Ze said this and turned away.
Jiang Yuhuai did not stay here, his figure was buried in the darkness.
*
While Jiang Yuhuai was driving aimlessly and anxiously, a message came to his cell phone from Chi Ze.
Chi Ze used some methods to lock onto the target vehicle and immediately sent him the specific location.
Jiang Yuhuai finally saw a glimmer of hope and rushed away according to the address sent by Chi Ze.
Finally, he stopped the car halfway up the mountain in a remote area.
This is an uninhabited mountain island in Haizhou. Below the mountain is the endless sea. The waves beat against the shore, accompanied by the wind, which is a bit terrifying.
Xie Shizhu appeared in front of him, but her feet and legs were tied with ropes, and her long hair was blown by the wind, covering her face.
Jiang Yuhuai couldn't see Xie Shizhu's expression clearly, and didn't know whether she was desperate or blaming herself.
He broke his promise again.
