The toilet stalls were small but clean. Knowing that time was of the essence, Lin Chuchu immediately reached into the water tank behind the toilet to retrieve her belongings.
Because they were afraid the paper would get wet, they wrapped it in several layers of plastic bags.
Lin Chuchu tore at it for a long time but couldn't tear it apart. She was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat. Suddenly she remembered that she had a spatial dimension. If she put the things in her spatial dimension, no one would be able to find them, right?
Just then, footsteps came from outside the door, startling Lin Chuchu, who dropped the papers on the ground.
Suddenly, an English voice came from inside, "What's that? Hello, do you need any help?"
The sound was coming from next door, so Lin Chuchu quickly put the plastic bag containing the paper into her spatial storage.
"No, I'm fine. I just dropped my bag. I'm sorry, thank you."
Lin Chuchu answered in a calm tone.
Only when no one else spoke did she pat her chest and breathe a sigh of relief.
She sat on the toilet for a while longer before standing up, flushing the toilet, and then leaving the stall.
After coming out, Lin Chuchu went to the large mirror, washed her hands, and tidied her hair.
Click, the cubicle door opened, and a tall woman walked out, almost a head taller than Lin Chuchu, and wearing high heels. When she saw Lin Chuchu, she slowly revealed a smile.
The other person expressed goodwill towards her, and Lin Chuchu naturally nodded in return.
After returning from the restroom, Lin Chuchu went back to the banquet. As she passed Li Wen, she gave him a slight nod.
Li Wen understood Lin Chuchu's meaning; he had gotten the item.
Lin Chuchu walked over to the group of ladies and continued their previous conversation. After a while, the other two ladies who had gone to the restroom also returned.
One of them picked up a glass of red wine. There wasn't much wine in the glass, and it was a deep red color, so it looked quite high-end.
"My lord, we don't know when we'll meet again. Shall we have a drink together?"
As he spoke, he handed a glass of wine to Lin Chuchu.
Lin Chuchu was a little surprised, but she couldn't refuse, so she took the cup and clinked it with the other person's.
"It was a pleasure to meet you. I'm sure we'll meet again."
Everyone says that red wine has a low alcohol content, but a strong aftereffect, so Lin Chuchu didn't dare to drink it all.
Although she has a decent tolerance for alcohol, she cannot afford to make mistakes at such a crucial moment in a mission.
So, Lin Chuchu used her spatial ability to transfer all the wine in her mouth into her spatial storage.
Even so, my mouth was filled with the taste of red wine, fragrant and a little sweet.
Others came over to offer toasts, so Lin Chuchu had to pick up another glass.
After a few drinks, even with the help of the space, she still felt a little dizzy.
Lin Chuchu smiled and said goodbye to everyone, then walked to Li Wen's side and shook his arm.
"Brother Wen, I'm not feeling well. When shall we leave?"
Li Wen turned around and saw Lin Chuchu looking at him with moist eyes, and she still smelled strongly of alcohol.
"Xiaoyu...you've been drinking? Oh, I forgot to tell the ladies that you can't hold your liquor."
He helped her up and said to the others, "Excuse me, Xiaoyu is drunk. I'd like to take her home first."
Lin Chuchu wasn't actually drunk; it was just that there were many people around, the windows were closed, and it was a bit stuffy. Plus, her face turned red as soon as she drank, so people really thought she was drunk.
Li Wen said goodbye to the people he knew and helped Lin Chuchu walk out.
Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind, "Excuse me, everyone, Ms. *** lost a bracelet on the third floor. The hotel adheres to the principle of being serious and responsible, so we would like to investigate. Does anyone here have been up to the third floor?"
As they spoke, the stairwell leading downstairs was blocked, and a security guard glared menacingly at everyone present.
Lin Chuchu was slightly taken aback, and the hand supporting her tightened its grip.
Lin Chuchu pretended to be drunk, her eyes somewhat glazed over, "Third floor? I've been there, I've been to the third-floor restroom."
Lin Chuchu raised her hand and said something.
Li Wen's expression stiffened slightly. Lin Chuchu was too bold; she would definitely be the first one to be examined.
Why did this group suddenly start checking? Did they discover something?
Or has someone betrayed them?
Did Lin Chuchu accidentally leave some paper outside when she tore it up?
Lin Chuchu didn't think much about it; she just wanted to be examined as soon as possible so that she could go back home after clearing herself of suspicion.
Sure enough, the other person walked towards Lin Chuchu.
They first scanned Lin Chuchu, but found no place to hide anything.
The bracelet Lin Chuchu was wearing was gold, not jade.
"Excuse me, ma'am, could I take a look at your bag?"
Lin Chuchu nodded, picked up the bag and unzipped it. The bag was small, a handbag, containing her ID card, cash, hotel room key, and a lipstick.
After checking, the other party indeed found nothing.
He then turned to Li Wendao and said, "Could you please turn out the pockets of your shirt and pants so we can take a look?"
Li Wen cooperated by turning the pockets inside out, but they were empty.
The other party smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your cooperation. You may leave now."
Lin Chuchu and Li Wen left first. Since the banquet could not continue after this incident, many people followed suit and left.
Stepping out of the hotel, the air was cool and refreshing. Lin Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, the hotel car arrived, along with their bodyguards.
At this moment, Lin Chuchu felt a little dizzy and looked very uncomfortable.
Li Wen asked softly, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to open the car window?"
Lin Chuchu shook her head. "It's okay, I feel much better."
