Chapter 23: Complications
It was just a simple favor to help get some takeout, so Mi Weier nodded understandingly: "Okay, wait, I'll get your life-saving makeup remover right away!"
Xia Lili, who was hiding in the corner and observing secretly, saw Mi Weiler get up and go out, staring at Xu Su.
However, to her surprise, Xu Su did not make any move this time and did not add powder to Mi Wei'er's drink as she had done in the hallucination.
Xia Lili's head suddenly exploded.
What went wrong? What went wrong with her hallucination?
She clearly remembered that Xu Su had put something in the drink.
"Ma'am, your salad is ready."
At this time, a waiter came up with the dishes, blocking Xia Lili's view, and placed the salad on Xia Lili's table.
Xia Lili looked up and met the waiter's slanted eyes.
He was wearing a mask and said politely with his eyes curved: "Call me anytime if you need anything."
"OK, thanks."
Xia Lili responded with a polite smile, finally picked up the knife and fork, and took a few symbolic bites of food, but her eyes were always on Xu Su.
What went wrong?
Did Xu Su take advantage of the waiter’s blocking just now to drug him?
Was it intentional or accidental on the part of the waiter? Is there something wrong with the waiter as well?
Is there something wrong with this restaurant?
What exactly is the problem?
Is it because my appearance triggered the butterfly effect?
Under such extreme tension, Xia Lili felt like she was going crazy.
At this time, Mi Wei'er had already returned with a box of makeup remover. "Susu, here you go. Go and remove your makeup!"
Xu Su unpacked the makeup remover and sniffed the cream: "Wow, this smells so good! I didn't expect the fragrance of the cheap brand makeup remover I bought would be so good!"
"It feels as good as the master perfumers I smelled in France."
Xu Su placed the cap of the makeup remover in front of Mi Wei'er: "Weiwei, want to smell it?"
Mi Wei'er heard what Xu Su said and sniffed curiously, "Really? This smells so good, rose but very soft, with a base note of agarwood."
The scent of the makeup remover was so nice that Mi Weier couldn't help but sniff it a few more times.
"You like the taste so much? I'll send you the link later."
Xu Su smiled, left the cap of the makeup remover to Mi Weiler, and took the makeup remover to the bathroom to remove her makeup.
Mi Wei'er put down the lid of the makeup remover and lowered her head to eat the beef on the plate.
Eating alone was a bit dry, so she was about to drink a drink when Xia Lili's reminder suddenly rang in her mind.
She reached for the drink and then retracted her hand.
Xia Lili stared at Mi Weiler's movements as she smelled the makeup remover cream.
There's definitely something wrong with the scent of that makeup remover.
The other party is really well prepared!
Xia Lili felt panicky.
She had previously recorded a video of the girl in pink entering and exiting the fire escape at the Huacai Hotel. This video was enough to prove that the girl in pink was lying.
Now that we have the evidence, Mi Wei'er can see the true identity of the girl in pink. For safety reasons, it's time to take Mi Wei'er away!
Xia Lili's super clear eyesight keenly observed that Mi Wei'er's eyes began to blur.
She swayed slightly, as if she was drunk.
“We must act now.”
Xia Lili took a deep breath. She opened WeChat and saw that Leng Xiaohe had not replied yet, so she started sharing her real-time location with Leng Xiaohe.
This way the other party can know your position changes, just in case.
Then Xia Lili took off her mask, pretended to have just discovered Mi Weiler, and walked towards the table in surprise.
"Sister Weiwei? What a coincidence!"
Xia Lili deliberately raised her voice while looking around the restaurant vigilantly.
Mi Wei'er raised her head slowly, her eyes blurred: "Li... Li Li? Why are you..."
"I just happened to see you when I passed by." Xia Lili tightly grasped Mi Wei'er's burning hand and secretly tried to pull her up. "Sister Weiwei, I found something strange when I was visiting one of the apartments. I'm so scared. Please come back with me to take a look."
"Hmm? But Susu is still removing her makeup. Let me talk to her..."
Mi Wei'er's voice was weak.
Xia Lili was extremely anxious and whispered in her ear, "Sister Weiwei, this Susu is lying to you. She didn't even audition!"
"I was working part-time as a cleaner at the Huacai Hotel. I didn't expect to see you in the hallway, but you had already entered the elevator. I didn't catch up with you, but I saw this girl enter the fire escape. She didn't even go to the audition."
Xia Lili's words were incomprehensible to Mi Weiler, who was now dizzy.
But she heard clearly the first sentence Xia Lili said.
"Lili, go back home..."
Mi Weiler also realized that something was wrong with her condition, and her instinct for danger made her hug Xia Lili.
"Okay, let's go home!"
Xia Lili helped Mi Weiler up, and when she turned around, she saw the girl in pink, Xu Su, walking towards them.
Xia Lili's heart skipped a beat.
Xu Su narrowed her eyes and her tone became fierce: "Who are you? Where are you taking my friend?"
Xia Lili looked at her and felt a chill running down her spine, but she forced herself to remain calm. "I'm her friend, and I'm here to take her home. I can clearly tell you her address, can you?"
Several waiters in the restaurant stopped what they were doing and looked at them.
Xia Lili's throat tightened. She didn't know if there was something wrong with these waiters or if she was being mistaken for a human trafficker.
"Sister Weiwei, let's go."
Xia Lili pulled up the semi-conscious Mi Weiler and almost dragged her towards the door.
Xu Su had obviously noticed that many people were looking at them and bit her lip.
She could only say, "After you send Weiwei home, remember to ask her to send me a message to let me know she's safe."
The moment she pushed open the restaurant door, Xia Lili almost collapsed to the ground, but she knew they were not out of danger yet.
Mi Wei'er's body became heavier and heavier, and her consciousness became obviously blurred.
"Taxi!" Xia Lili waved desperately at the empty car passing by.
A yellow taxi slowly stopped in front of her. Xia Lili struggled to stuff Mi Wei'er into the back seat.
At the same time, out of caution, she did not forget to take a look at the license plate number.
“Go to the Third Hospital!”
She spoke to the driver hurriedly, while constantly looking back, fearing that someone would chase her.
Only after the car started did Xia Lili feel a little relieved.
She turned to Mi Wei'er and patted her cheek gently: "Sister Weiwei? Can you hear me? Look at me!"
Mi Wei'er's eyelids blinked heavily and she mumbled something incoherently.
Xia Lili took out a wet wipe from her bag and wiped Mi Weiler's burning forehead. She felt angry and scared - what kind of medicine did that woman give Mi Weiler?
At this moment, Xia Lili's "eagle eyes" were flashed by the reflection from the front row of the vehicle.
She glanced sideways and caught a detail of the driver's left hand - he wore a gold ring on his ring finger, which shone coldly in the dim light inside the car.
The driver's hand was the same as the driver of the black car behind the hotel!
Xia Lili's breathing almost stopped.
