Chapter 152 Banquet Darkness
Chapter 153 Banquet Darkness
After three rounds of drinks, the girls at the table gradually became familiar with each other. A girl with short hair and a round face pointed at a few men toasting in the distance and started gossiping.
"Let me tell you, that man over there is said to be the organizer of this competition. He drove a luxury car when he came here. He must be very rich!"
"Not only is he rich, he seems to be a famous painter, his name is... Lin."
"Qiu Yulin." A long-haired girl added calmly, "He is a member of the Provincial Painting Association and has won many awards. He has been recuperating abroad in recent years. There are rumors that he is ill and can no longer paint, so his works have been sold at sky-high prices in the past two years."
After hearing the news, everyone at the table started discussing it. However, Fang Qing just kept his head down while eating, not participating in the gossip at all, until a group of men came over with wine glasses to toast, and Fang Qing ran away under the pretext of going to the toilet.
Coming out of the restroom, Fang Qing saw a man leaning over the sink, looking very uncomfortable.
Fang Qing saw that his condition was really bad, so she turned around and wanted to find someone to come over. Unexpectedly, before she could leave, the man fell to the ground with a bang.
Fang Qing was startled and shouted a few times outside the bathroom, but it was too noisy outside and no waiter came for a long time. Fang Qing went forward and prepared to help the man up. But as soon as she approached, the man on the ground suddenly stood up and knocked Fang Qing unconscious with his hand.
The man looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he picked up Fang Qing, quickly walked through the corridor, kicked open a room, and threw Fang Qing onto a bed.
After doing all this, the man took out a phone from his pocket and dialed a number, "Hey, I got it."
At this time, the banquet outside was coming to an end. Seeing that Qian Qing had not returned for a long time, several girls thought that she had left early, so they left the hall together.
Lu Can was happily drinking with a handsome guy and didn't notice the prize that Fang Qing left on the seat.
At this time, Fang Qing's hands and feet were tied to the bed, and a man was sitting on the sofa, slowly shaking a glass of red wine, waiting for her to wake up.
Suddenly, the phone in Fang Qing's backpack rang. After a series of vibrations, the man impatiently got up and took out his phone. Seeing the caller's note on it, he smiled sarcastically, "He is indeed a flirt."
He then removed the battery from the phone, but after some concern, he stomped on the phone and crushed it, then threw it into the toilet and flushed it away.
"Now I wonder who can find you."
…
After Wen Ning dialed several times, he found that Fang Qing's phone was turned off, and he suddenly felt uneasy.
It was already dark at this time. According to the previous agreement, Fang Qing should call him and wait for him to pick her up and go back to school together. She would never turn off her phone for no reason.
After thinking for a while, Wen Ning immediately called Ah Cheng, "Hello, Mr. Ah Cheng? I need your help."
Fang Qing slowly opened his eyes in a daze, and felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck. He wanted to raise his hand to rub it, but then he realized that his hands and feet were tied.
She was not fully awake at first, so she immediately opened her eyes and tried to call out, but she found her mouth was also blocked by something, "Mmmmm..."
Fang Qing's struggling movement awakened the man who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed. He rubbed his temples and chuckled as he watched Fang Qing struggling on the bed. "Don't waste your energy. I tied you up very tightly. You can't break free."
Fang Qing stopped moving when she heard the man's voice. She tried to crane her neck to see who it was, but except for the light on the bedside lamp, the rest of the room was dark. She could only hear the man's voice but could not see his face.
Suddenly, Fang Qing felt a cold touch on her ankle, which made her hair stand on end. She struggled violently, but still couldn't get rid of the gradually spreading fear.
The man watched Fang Qing struggling constantly. The expression of fear on her face was perfect, which made the man very satisfied. His cold fingers moved up along Fang Qing's ankles until his entire body appeared clearly in Fang Qing's field of vision. Fang Qing then remembered that this man was the man who fainted outside the bathroom.
"Ummmm..." (Why did you tie me up?)
The man looked at Fang Qing and smiled arrogantly, his slender fingers brushing against Fang Qing's cheek, "What a beautiful face. Looking at your expression, are you curious about why I arrested you?"
Fang Qing nodded, and the man showed a row of white teeth, "I can't tell you now. When I'm done, I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
Doing business? What business?
But then, she felt a cold touch on her waist, and Fang Qing trembled all over as if she had been electrocuted. She finally understood what she was facing...
Qiu Yulin went to the restroom after a social event, and when he came out, he found a pearl hairpin on the ground. Qiu Yulin saw that the hairpin was unique in style, exquisitely made, and obviously expensive, so he took it to the front desk to ask if anyone had lost it.
Coincidentally, the service staff who were cleaning the venue picked up the prize that Fang Qing had left on the chair and brought it to the front desk.
Qiu Yulin glanced at the prize and saw a card with the name of the winner written on it. "Fang Qing?"
Glancing at the hairpin in his hand, Qiu Yulin felt that it was very likely that they belonged to the same person.
In his opinion, no one who could participate in this competition would treat the prizes they worked so hard to get so carelessly. This person named Fang Qing must have drunk too much or had something urgent to do and forgot about the prizes. So he called the staff of the association and prepared to ask them to contact Fang Qing and send the prizes over.
Just as Qiu Yulin dialed the phone number, a luxury car arrived at the entrance of the club.
Wen Ning and Ah Cheng quickly got out of the car and explained their purpose to the security guard at the door. Then they quickly entered the club, holding up Fang Qing's photo and asking around.
"Excuse me, have you ever seen this girl?"
The waiter looked at the girl in the photo and recalled for a while, then nodded, "I've seen her before. She came to attend a gathering of an association this afternoon. I saw her at the table in front when I was serving the dishes."
Wen Ning stepped forward and grabbed the waiter's sleeve tightly. "Do you remember where she went? We can't contact her now, brother, please help."
The waiter shook his head. "Sorry, I'm only responsible for serving the food, not for that table. Wait a minute, I'll ask for you."
After questioning, a waitress finally recalled that halfway through the banquet, Fang Qing seemed to have gone to the bathroom and never came back.
Wen Ning and Ah Cheng looked at each other and both felt that something was not going well, because Fang Qing would never leave without saying a word.
Just then, a waiter came over and said that the light in one of the guest rooms was broken, but the guest inside refused to cooperate with the repair. Ah Cheng was quick to sense that something was wrong, and the two followed the waiter to the outside of the room.
After taking a look at the location in his hand, Ah Cheng saw that the last location of the phone was exactly the same as here. He looked at Wen Ning seriously and said, "It's right here."
