Shi Wan clutched her chest weakly with both hands, her body trembling involuntarily. Enduring a burning pain, she leaned quietly against the wall in the corridor.
The message Feng Yunzhou had just sent to Shi Wan hadn't been sent yet, and her phone had somehow fallen somewhere. She struggled to find Lu Jingyan.
"Oh...isn't this Miss Shi? Why are you all alone today? Are you here to entertain some boss again?" A group of girls approached, led by Ye Jiajia. They looked Shi Wan up and down with mocking expressions.
Shi Wan's pale face looked even more bloodless under the warm light; she was too lazy to argue with the women in front of her.
After Lu Jingyan left, someone broke things in the private room. Then, after changing private rooms, he experienced physical abnormalities. Not long after, Feng Yunzhou barged into the private room, and now he has encountered Ye Jiajia. None of this can be a coincidence.
She wondered whether it was a coincidence or someone's deliberate scheme, and who had drugged her. The heat in her body caused her forehead and back to break out in a fine sweat.
"Miss Ye, please make way."
Ye Jiajia noticed Shi Wan's slightly trembling voice, winked at a man behind her, and said with a forced smile, "Miss Shi, which room are you in? Let us take you back. Zhang Song, you're strong, so help Miss Shi. She's President Lu's girlfriend, so be careful."
A very thin man suddenly appeared behind Ye Jiajia. He had a lewd and weak appearance, and his eyes were looking at Shi Wan with ill intent. He was about to reach out and support Shi Wan when he heard Ye Jiajia's instruction.
Shi Wan gave a cold laugh, her body almost collapsing as she stared at the lewd man in front of her, forcing herself to remain calm. "Thank you, Miss Ye. However, Jing Yan will be here soon. If he doesn't see me, he'll not only turn the whole hall upside down, he'll turn the whole of Kyoto upside down to find me."
The sleazy, skinny man originally wanted to hug Shi Wan. Such a beauty was rare even in the capital. He was a rich second-generation heir who had slept with many women, but this was the first time he had seen a woman with such outstanding temperament and appearance in the capital.
Upon hearing Shi Wan mention Jing Yan, he withdrew his raised hand, glanced at Ye Jiajia with a shocked expression, and swallowed hard. "Jing Yan? Lu Jing Yan?"
Seeing that Ye Jiajia didn't speak, the lewd man shrank back and said awkwardly, "Ye Jiajia, if your Ye family doesn't want to live, don't drag the Zhang family down with you. I still want to live a few more years."
After saying that, he raised his hand and disappeared in a flash.
"You! You're a fickle person." Ye Jiajia's face twisted slightly with anger at Zhang Song's sudden betrayal.
"Zhang Song is timid and afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you." Ye Jiajia gestured to the girls around her to step forward and press Shi Wan against the wall. Then, Ye Jiajia raised her hand and pinched Shi Wan's chin hard.
With an almost distorted face, he sneered, "Zhang Song is a nobody. This area is a blind spot for surveillance cameras. If I wanted to take you down, would I be afraid of being investigated? Hmph!"
Her already unwell body was shoved hard by several people, causing her head to slam heavily against the wall. A sharp pain made Shi Wan groan.
His arms, which he had tried to resist, were too weak to lift due to the effects of the drug, and his legs began to go limp, causing him to collapse to the ground.
"Ah..." A timid woman cried out softly first. Receiving Ye Jiajia's cold gaze, she whispered sarcastically, "Jiajia, will something happen to her?"
"Hmph... Doesn't she always pretend like this to seduce those men? Let her pretend!" Then he slapped Shi Wan across the face.
A large red mark instantly appeared on her fair face, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, but she was powerless to resist.
It hurts... I can't muster any strength in my whole body.
Ye Jiajia coldly glanced at Shi Wan, who was slumped on the ground, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips. She gestured to the two people restraining Shi Wan's hands, "Unzip her skirt. I want everyone who passes by to see how shameless this woman is, behaving indecently in public. Let's see if Lu Jingyan still wants her!"
He finished speaking and was about to reach out and tear open the fabric covering Shi Wan's chest.
"Stop! What are you doing!" A pretty girl stood at the end of the corridor, hands on her hips, and yelled at them.
Ye Jiajia was stunned by the other person's voice, glanced at the few people beside her, and said, "Let's go!" The group of people scattered instantly.
Lu Chuchu came to see her older brother today, but after wandering around the first floor for a long time without seeing him, she went up to the second floor to try her luck. As soon as she came up, she saw a group of people bullying a girl.
The person in the lead seemed to be Ye Jiajia again, her lips pursed in displeasure. This Ye Jiajia had been bullying people since she was a child, and she was still doing it now that she was an adult.
If it weren't for my chivalrous and righteous nature, the girl who was bullied would definitely have suffered tonight.
Lu Chuchu ran to the girl who was slumped on the ground, gently brushed her hair aside, and her pupils widened in shock when she saw the girl's face.
"Miss Shi? Miss Shi! Wake up!" Shi Wan in front of her was like a doll that had fallen to the ground, and no matter how she was called, she could not be woken up. Lu Chuchu was at a loss.
Just then, a waiter happened to pass by, and Lu Chuchu asked him to carry Shi Wan upstairs to her room.
Lu Chuchu changed Shi Wan into her own loose clothes in the room, and like people on TV, she wet a towel and put it on Shi Wan's forehead. She was too hot, and her whole face was red as if she had a fever.
After watching for so long without Shi Wan waking up, her breathing grew softer and softer, and large beads of sweat dampened her hair from time to time.
Lu Chuchu panicked for a moment and paced anxiously around the room. She had never encountered such a situation before. Her parents and brothers always protected her in any situation. She had always been a little princess who didn't care about worldly affairs.
Yes! Brother! I called my brother, even though I'll get scolded, I risked being scolded to call him for Shi Wan's sake.
At that moment, Lu Jingyan, who was frantically searching for someone on the second floor of the banquet hall, suddenly had his cell phone ring.
He chatted with Chu Ningyi and his brother for a while, but when he returned to the private room, Shi Wan was nowhere to be found. The waiter also said he didn't know where she had gone.
Seeing that their belongings were still in the private room, he didn't think much of it. However, after waiting for ten minutes and Shi Wan still hadn't returned, he began to feel uneasy.
The manager was asked to check the surveillance footage, but was told that the cameras were turned off during the maintenance period and did not capture the incident.
Suppressing her intense unease, she dragged Chu Ningxuan out to search with him. At this moment, the manager in charge of the banquet stood aside, wiping away cold sweat with trepidation.
"Manager Li, my girlfriend disappeared from your banquet hall without any reason. You say you didn't know?" Lu Jingyan said in a low, sharp voice.
"Why did you have to repair the surveillance cameras during a banquet like this? I wonder if the higher-ups will accuse you of a major safety incident?" he threatened the banquet organizers in a cold voice.
"If we can't find Miss Shi, all of you will go to the North City organization for a few years of training before you come back!"
Lu Jingyan's voice was deep, his eyes devoid of any warmth. The banquet hall on the second floor was very large, with a complex and winding corridor. He instructed his bodyguards to open each private room one by one to search for Shi Wan's whereabouts.
After the phone rang for the fifth time, Lu Jingyan answered it impatiently and said coldly, "Lu Chuchu, you'd better have something to say!"
Lu Chuchu on the other end of the phone was speechless for a moment. She glanced at Shi Wan on the bed and finally made up her mind to stammer to her brother, "Brother, I just rescued a girl. She's in my room now, but she doesn't look well. I don't know Ji Chu's phone number. Could you please ask him to come and take a look?"
Lu Jingyan frowned. "Save someone? Where?"
"Second floor of the Golden Banquet Hall".
"Wait for me!" Lu Jingyan's eyes darkened.
A few minutes later, Lu Chuchu's doorbell rang, and Lu Jingyan practically rushed into the room.
Lu Chuchu was so frightened that she thought her older brother had come to settle scores with her and scold her for bringing people into the room without permission.
Lu Jingyan didn't even glance at Lu Chuchu. He rushed straight to the bedside, knelt on the ground, stared at Shi Wan's pale face, and took a deep breath as if in disbelief. "Wanwan..." His voice was low and hoarse, carrying an imperceptible sense of restraint and tenderness.
