At 7 p.m. sharp, Huo Jinxin appeared at the door of the agreed private room.
I gently pushed open the door and stepped into the room.
However, an unexpected person appeared in the private room—Qian Chengyi.
"Xin Xin, is that you?" Qian Chengyi asked in surprise, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
If Huo Jinxin hadn't known beforehand about the Qian family's conspiracy against the Huo family, she might have truly been deceived by his actions.
“Xiao Lan and I are roommates,” Huo Jinxin explained calmly, then looked at Qian Chengyi and continued, “The boyfriend Xiao Lan mentioned is you. When she said it, I thought it was just a name, but I didn’t expect it to really be you.”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolan's eyes widened. She looked at Huo Jinxin, then at Qian Chengyi, a confused expression on her face.
"You two know each other?" Li Xiaolan asked, puzzled.
She never expected that Huo Jinxin would know someone as wealthy as Qian Chengyi.
“Yes, we’ve known each other since we were little,” Qian Chengyi replied with a smile, his voice gentle and patient.
It was as if he was explaining something very ordinary to Li Xiaolan: "Xinxin's older brother and my older brother are childhood friends, so we met when we were young."
"I really didn't expect that." Li Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, her previous worries instantly dissipating.
She was worried that Huo Jinxin was the child of some rich man, but it turned out that she knew Qian Chengyi only because their two older brothers knew each other.
Neither Huo Jinxin nor Qian Chengyi offered any further explanation.
"Did you forget there was still one person there?" another man in the room suddenly spoke up.
Huo Jinxin looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man dressed in casual clothes sitting in the corner, smiling at them.
"Ah, Xinxin, let me introduce you. This is my friend Wu Hong. We just ran into each other and thought it would be more lively with more people. You shouldn't mind, right?" Qian Chengyi quickly explained.
"I don't mind, I don't mind." Huo Jinxin said this, but she became more vigilant in her heart.
She didn't believe there were so many coincidences in the world. There were clearly only four people in the room, and the other two were a couple, so Wu Hong's purpose in suddenly appearing was quite obvious.
At this moment, Qian Chengyi and Li Xiaolan were snuggling together, drinking and singing, completely immersed in their own world.
Seeing this, Wu Hong naturally moved closer to Huo Jinxin and said with a smile, "Miss Huo, look how affectionate they are. Aren't we just like third wheels sandwiched in between? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come."
Huo Jinxin smiled slightly and replied calmly, "It's alright."
Her tone was calm, but her eyes revealed a hint of coldness that was not easily detected.
Wu Hong seemed to have sensed Huo Jinxin's attitude, so he wisely refrained from moving any closer.
He picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and then silently observed Huo Jinxin's reaction.
The atmosphere in the room became somewhat subtle, with one side of the two people being passionate and fiery, while the other side was as cold as ice.
Looking at Wu Hong's expression, Huo Jinxin couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that I was being too cautious and misunderstood him?
However, despite this, she still dared not let her guard down.
He never lets go of the wine glass, even if he just goes to the restroom. When he comes back, he will change the bottle and open it again, never letting the wine glass out of his sight.
Fearing she might cause trouble, Huo Jinxin didn't dare drink much, only having two bottles of beer.
But who could have predicted that by the time the song ended, she would be dizzy, confused, and even finding it incredibly difficult to stand?
At this moment, she was like a walking corpse, barely able to stand up with the help of others, but in reality, she had long lost the ability to think.
She had planned everything meticulously, but she never expected that the drug wasn't put in the wine, but rather applied directly to the outside of the wine glass.
This turn of events was completely unexpected by Huo Jinxin, leaving her caught off guard.
As for Li Xiaolan, she was completely unaware of this.
Today, she was once again made to get completely drunk by Qian Chengyi.
Finally, Qian Chengyi helped her out the door.
Of course, he didn't take her back to school; instead, they went to the hotel together.
Li Xiaolan was petite, delicate, and charming, quite beautiful. In addition, she knew how to please people, which won Qian Chengyi's heart.
Qian Chengyi has invested a lot of money in her, and now it's time for him to enjoy the rewards he deserves.
After all, businessmen never do business at a loss.
Huo Jinxin was taken to Wu Hong's apartment.
When Wei Zechen rushed over, he found that they had already left.
Anxious and uneasy, Wei Zechen immediately dialed Huo Jinxin's number, but at first there was only a busy signal and then the phone was completely switched off.
At that moment, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
Without hesitation, Wei Zechen asked the bar staff to pull up the surveillance footage, his eyes fixed on the screen.
Sure enough, the scene clearly showed Huo Jinxin being taken away by a strange man.
Anger and worry mingled in his heart, and he decided to use all the resources and influence of the Wei family in the capital to launch a full-scale investigation.
In less than half an hour, Wei Zechen successfully tracked down and found Wu Hong's whereabouts.
However, the moment he stepped into the room, the sight before him tore his heart apart—the unconscious Huo Jinxin's shirt had been carelessly discarded on the floor.
Fortunately, nothing more serious has happened yet.
Wei Zechen quickly took off his short-sleeved shirt, gently draped it over Huo Jinxin, then hugged her tightly and turned to leave.
As for other follow-up matters, they will naturally be handled by designated personnel.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to get her away from this place as soon as possible and ensure her safety.
When Wu Hong saw the law enforcement officers, a sense of fear rose in his heart.
But he still tried to appear calm as he explained, "Huo Jinxin was drunk at the time, and I just wanted to help her, so I brought her back. Besides, I was a little drunk myself..."
We were alone in the room, and I couldn't control my impulse. Thankfully, nothing happened; I really didn't commit a crime.
However, the Wei family would never let him off easily.
After leaving, Wei Zechen did not take Huo Jinxin back to school, but instead took her to a private villa in Beijing.
Upon arriving at the villa, he immediately called the family doctor to examine her and gave her an injection to relieve her discomfort.
Afterwards, he arranged for someone to change her into clean and comfortable clothes.
Huo Jinxin remained unconscious throughout this time. Wei Zechen, worried, had the doctor examine her repeatedly, only to be told that Huo Jinxin was fine and would be alright by tomorrow morning.
Wei Zechen was relieved.
