Before leaving, Shang Li handed her bag to Wen Qing. “I’ll go tell Wen Chen we’re leaving. Give me two minutes.”

“Wait. Wen Chen? Wen Chen is here too?” Wen Qing asked.

Shang Li nodded. “He is. Didn’t you see Wen Chen just now? He’s the one who asked us to come here tonight.”

“Didn’t you say that you didn’t know who organized the party? Now, you’re saying it was Wen Chen?” Wen Qing asked.

“I really don’t know who organized the party, and it wasn’t Wen Chen. The organizer invited Wen Chen first. Then, he called me, and I called you. I haven’t spoken to Wen Chen since I came here. I was playing games earlier. Now that I’m leaving, I should at least let him know,” Shang Li explained.

“So, we’re all here for the party?” Wen Qing understood now.

“You got it.” Shang Li made an ‘OK’ gesture. “That’s why I should say hi to Wen Chen if we’re leaving now. Want to come with me?”

Wen Qing shook her head. “No, it’s fine. You can go and tell him. I’ll go get the car.”

“Alright, I’ll be down soon.”

With that, Shang Li turned around and went back in.

Wen Qing took Shang Li’s bag and rode the elevator downstairs.

…

After Li Yunce went back to the party, he saw Shang Ke sitting there, drinking alone. Li Yunce walked over, grabbed a glass of kvass, and clinked his glass with the one in Shang Ke’s hand. “Why do you look so dejected?”

“Do you like Wen Qing?” Shang Ke glanced at Li Yunce.

“Yes. Who wouldn’t like a beautiful woman like her? If I won her heart, I would’ve won in life.” Li Yunce did not hide his admiration and love for Wen Qing. “Moreover, Sister Qing’s dancing is really amazing. It’s unbelievably fascinating.”

Shang Ke’s eyes were dark, and his voice was cold. “You’re so forward. You say that you like her, but have you forgotten that she’s my fiancée?”

Li Yunce laughed out loud. “Shang Ke, you have never admitted that Sister Qing is your fiancée. Sometimes, I call her sister-in-law just for fun. I didn’t really think that she would become my sister-in-law. I doubt you guys will take things any further anyway.”

Shang Ke narrowed his eyes and clinked his glass against Li Yunce’s glass. “You’re right. It’s impossible for things to work out between Wen Qing and me. The engagement will be canceled sooner or later. If you want to court her, go ahead.”

Li Yunce only smiled after hearing this. “I’m not worthy of Sister Qing.”

Shang Ke took a huge drink and pursed his lips. After swallowing, he said, “Do you think so highly of her?”

Li Yunce offered an example. “What about that girl who stayed with you for ten days and ten nights and spoke to you from behind the door? You haven’t even seen her face, but don’t you think she’s the best in the world?”

This made Shang Ke shut up, because Li Yunce was right.

She was the best in the world.

He would definitely find her.

…

Wen Qing ran into Shu Rui again while waiting for the elevator.

However, this time, Shu Rui acted as if she did not see Wen Qing. After the elevator door opened, she walked into the elevator with her head held high, still not looking at Wen Qing.

Wen Qing hesitated for a few seconds, then went in as well. Then, she found that there were two men in the elevator too.

Shu Rui did not know the men either, so they stood on different sides of the elevator.

After the elevator door closed, Wen Qing picked up her phone and started swiping. She thought that Shu Rui would continue to ignore her. That was what she was hoping for.

However, Shu Rui spoke up. She said deliberately, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about your scandal.”

Wen Qing’s fingers froze on the screen. She turned slightly and looked at Shu Rui. She was standing right beside her now.

Wen Qing pursed her lips. She did not want to talk to her.

Shu Rui could also see that Wen Qing did not want to talk. So, she continued. “I’m serious. I’ll keep your dirty laundry to myself. But, you have to do me a favor.”

She said it like it was a given.

“What favor would that be?” Wen Qing asked.

Shu Rui only smiled. She said nothing else.

Wen Qing saw an evil smile flash across Shu Rui’s face. She had a bad feeling. Then, the two men in the elevator suddenly approached her.

Wen Qing’s first reaction was to press as many elevator buttons as she could. Then, a hand reached out from behind her and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief that was soaked in chemicals.

‘It’s Chloroform!’

Wen Qing did not even manage to struggle before she fell unconscious.
