To be honest, she's only been to bars a few times; this is actually her second time.
Once during high school, Ji Xuan dragged her there secretly out of curiosity, but when her parents found out, they stormed in and dragged the two of them back home.
Ji Xuan goes there often now, but Lu Yingying has lost interest in such occasions since that incident. In addition, she spends most of her free time with Xu Feng after starting university. The two have been to bars a few times, but Xu Feng doesn't let her drink too much.
Upon entering the bar, Lu Yingying frowned.
Then, she found a corner and huddled up. Unexpectedly, there were several girls and boys with her. They were all a bit socially awkward, so they looked at each other and smiled.
To be honest, she felt that this team building activity was worse than not having one at all. Not all college students learn to go to bars and nightclubs every day after entering university, and they are only juniors now.
Lu Yingying looked around and only saw their department manager.
The department manager was a middle-aged man, but Lu Yingying wasn't familiar with him and didn't have any ill feelings towards him.
Instead, they were greeted by another young man from the human resources department, who seemed to have a lot of social experience. Lu Yingying's only thought was that this man was really good at talking.
A little while later, they had each of them order a drink.
Several girls politely declined, but the man persisted relentlessly.
Lu Yingying couldn't stand it anymore and stood up.
"This is the first time for everyone, and we haven't learned how to drink yet. Please don't push us too hard. How about I drink on their behalf?"
When the person heard Lu Yingying say that, he readily agreed.
“That’s true. You’re all students from prestigious universities. If something really happens to you after drinking, I won’t be able to explain it to you. Xiao Lu, you can pick a drink for yourself. As for the others, just tell me what drinks you want and I’ll buy them for you.”
Lu Yingying ordered a Margarita, a cocktail with an alcohol content of 20-30 degrees, which she could handle.
After that person left, the girls looked at Lu Yingying with great gratitude.
"Yingying, thank you."
Lu Yingying smiled gently.
A girl on the other side whispered:
"To be honest, I don't think this company is very reliable, and I'm not really willing to stay here anymore."
Speaking of which, this is a large company, but this is a branch; the headquarters is in Xu Feng's city.
Like them, Lu Yingying submitted her resume because of the company's reputation.
After arriving, they discovered that the reality was indeed very different from what they had imagined.
Although it's just a branch, it's quite a big deal.
Hearing what the others said, Lu Yingying also considered changing companies for her internship.
Anyway, let's get through tonight first.
Soon, the orange juice for the girls arrived, and Lu Yingying's cocktail was also served.
The cocktail looked normal. Lu Yingying picked it up and took a careful sip. At that moment, Lu Yingying felt a chill, but she forcibly suppressed the shock in her heart.
With a slight smile, he pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth, but subtly spat the wine onto the tissue, pretending to throw it away while secretly slipping it into his sleeve.
Fortunately, I wore a long-sleeved jacket when I went out today.
Something was added to this drink.
Margaret had drunk it many times, but after just one sip, she realized something was wrong.
Almost instantly, she connected the person in the personnel department with Shi Tao.
These two beasts are in cahoots.
"How about it?"
The young man from the personnel department asked a question.
Lu Yingying smiled, feigning modesty.
"Well enough."
Then, he pretended to raise the glass and take a few sips, but in reality, each time his lips only touched the glass and he didn't actually drink any of it.
Then, Lu Yingying pretended to be a little drunk, swayed as she got up, and said to everyone.
"I'm going to the restroom."
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"Need not."
As Lu Yingying spoke, she quickly walked towards the bathroom, but instead of going in, she hid near the door.
She wanted to see if anyone would follow.
"How about it? Is this enough to knock her out?"
"Brother Shi, trust me, there's absolutely no problem, he'll be knocked out in one bite."
"Won't she be able to taste it?"
"I guess she's never had much of a taste for it. I specifically asked someone to make it a bit stronger, and she said it was fine and guaranteed there wouldn't be any problems."
"However, let's wait a while before going in."
"By the way, did you clean up what was on the table?"
"Don't worry, everything is fine."
Hearing their conversation made Lu Yingying feel nauseous, but of course, she didn't forget to record it.
Then, he immediately hid in the corner of the bathroom and called the police.
The police arrived shortly afterward and quickly brought the scene under control.
The two men were still guarding Lu Yingying at the door.
Under Lu Yingying's identification, the two were quickly brought under control.
Just as the two of them stubbornly refused to admit it, Lu Yingying took out that wad of wet tissues.
After Lu Yingying left, the person from the HR department pretended to help everyone clean the table, knocked over Lu Yingying's glass of wine, and then had the waiter clean up the mess.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yingying secretly preserved the evidence.
The liquid in the wet wipes tested positive for a high concentration of ingredients similar to sleeping pills.
The two were detained on the spot.
When Lu Yingying came out of the interrogation room, she saw Xu Feng standing at the door.
Seeing his tall figure, Lu Yingying finally felt a lingering sense of fear.
The inner strength I had been holding onto crumbled instantly, and tears streamed down my face.
"Waaaaah, that scared me to death."
Xu Feng held her tightly, his fists clenched where Lu Yingying couldn't see.
Lu Yingying cried for a long time, and Xu Feng patiently comforted her. He appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was heartbroken.
She encountered a crisis, and I was unable to get there immediately.
As she cried, Lu Yingying began to feel dizzy.
I don't know if it was because I was crying, because of the alcohol, or because I accidentally drank some sleeping pills.
Seeing this, Xu Feng didn't dare to delay and immediately took her to the hospital.
Before the results of the hospital's blood test were even available, Lu Yingying had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Xu Feng looked at her, her brows still furrowed even as she slept. He reached out and smoothed them, then turned his gaze to the window. It was pitch black outside. As if he had thought of something, his eyes gradually darkened, filled with coldness.
I dialed a number on the Xu family's end.
It's too late now, and there's no need for him to bother his family. He still holds a position in the Xu family business; a simple phone call will be enough for them to know what to do.
Meanwhile, the top executives of the Shi Group, upon learning of this matter, were already in a state of utter chaos.
This matter has undoubtedly blown up.
"That idiot Shi Tao actually dared to provoke the Lu family's daughter!"
