Chapter 133: Chen celebration banquet: Unmasking Suyin (1)

Liu, Chen and Xiang family gathered in the main security control room where big TV displays were held capturing every part of the hotel.

Jianyu said to the manager, “Play from the part where Nana left for the restroom.”

“Yes, sir.”

Near the restroom entrance, they saw Nana coming there.

“There she is!”, Chen Liling said.

They saw everything about how a waitress talked something to her and made Nana follow her. Reaching near the elevator, they saw them again but then the power cut off and everything went dark.

“Who is that woman? Where was she taking her? And Nana. She looked even sicker than before.”, she said with worry gnawing her heart. “Jianyu. I’m getting a bad feeling about this.”

Jianyu said, “Calm down mom.”, though he himself was feeling very anxious. “We will go look for her. If she had to take the stairs then, then she wouldn’t have gone much farther. Maybe maximum up to the the twelfth or thirteenth floor. Carrying a person with you and then climbing up is very hard.”

She nodded.

Suddenly Jing interrupted, “Wait.”

“What is it?”, she asked.

“I think we should also check for big brother and Huian. I can’t seem to find them either.”

Liu Hai nodded.

Xiang Qingge said worriedly, “Yes. I didn’t see Huian anywhere.”

Chen Liling said, “Yes, yes. We should check the recording again.”

The manager, on Jing’s signal played the footage. It started from where Huian stood at a corner trying to hide from the crowd.

They frowned noticing such odd behavior. Then they widened their eyes in shock watching what she did next.

She mixed some liquid in a glass of wine. The same glass that she offered to Jinhai. After five minutes, Jinhai started to feel uncomfortable. Huian tried to help him and there was some disagreement at first, but she managed to convince him.

She reached near the elevator supporting him on her shoulders and then everything blacked out.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Liu Chunhua got restless. “What happened to my Jinhai!? His condition looked just like Nana. Hai, do something! Where is my son!?”, she asked shaking his arm.

“It’s alright Chunhua. He must be fine. Jing, let’s go. Jinhai’s room is on the thirteenth floor.”

“Yup.” He narrowed his eyes at Xiang Wei and Xiang Qingge. “We clearly saw Huian tampering my brother’s drink. If something bad happened to my brother, then I won’t spare her, Uncle and Aunt.”

Father Xiang would have got offended by his threat, but he was stunned watching the clip.

Grandma Liu thought, The thing Huian mixed in his drink…is that what I think it is?

—

The thirteenth floor in Jinhai’s room.

Assistant Xin slowly woke up. He opened his eyes, and a sharp pain shot from his head.

“Ouch!”

He held his forehead and looked at the dried blood on his palm. Instantly, he remembered everything.

He got up. “Oh no! Sir Liu Jinhai! What time is it?”

He saw more than three hours already gone by.

No…did she succeed in drugging sir? Am I too late?

Just then somebody knocked on the door.

“Jinhai! Are you there inside? Open the door.” It was Liu Hai calling.

“Bro, are you alright? Please say something.”, Jing asked.

Xin quickly opened the door.

“Jinhai-“, Liu Chunhua was about to rush inside but was shocked seeing Xin instead. Everybody else too.

“A-assistant Xin. What are you doing here in Jinhai’s room?”

“Sir, Mam. We really don’t have time for this. Where is Sir and Lady Liu?”, he asked with great tension evident on his face.

Liu Hai said, “We came here looking for him. But what happened? Why are you so worried?”

“I will tell you everything. First, we need to find them!”

“Mom, dad”, a voice came from behind.

They turned and saw Huian behind them.

Xiang Qingge and Xiang Wei rushed to her, “Huian! Where were you?”

“I-I-“, she stuttered.

But, suddenly Xin dashed outside and entered the room from where Huian came out. He thoroughly checked inside but didn’t find Jinhai.

“Where is Sir?”, he snarled, giving Huian a deathly glare.

When she saw Xin, she remembered their conversation, and how she knocked him out.

Crap, I totally forgot about him! He knows everything. But how is he out here? I had locked him in the bathroom!

Her mind was busy thinking and speculating about that mystery man who kidnapped her, that Xin completely slipped from her mind.

Xiang Wei was angered. “You! What’s with that tone? Speak respectfully to my daughter!”

Assistant Xin didn’t bother. His main priority was to know the whereabouts of his boss right now.

Huian got afraid and immediately rushed to him. “Assistant Xin! Have you seen my Jinhai?”, she acted as if she was concerned.

As she got closer to him, she whispered in a low voice, “Please don’t say anything now. Let us talk about this later, okay?”

Xin sneered. “You wish.”

Huian gnashed her teeth. “Please. Listen to me. I had my reasons.”

“Which you can use them to try to fool your family. But not me.”

“You-“

“What are you whispering Huian? Tell us too.”, Jing smirked.

She wished to kill Jing for unnecessarily blabbing his mouth.

Chen Liling couldn’t take it anymore. “Enough! It’s good that we found Huian but what about Nana and Jinhai? They are still missing.”

Huian’s heart thumped.

Jinhai and…Nana? She is also missing? A-are they together? But Jinhai is drugged. Then… No. No, no, no. I’m thinking too much. It might be a coincidence.

Jing said, “Why don’t we check the twelfth floor? That waitress couldn’t have carried Sister Nana any farther than this floor. She also looked sick. The eleventh floor is locked down. Nobody can enter. So it can only be the twelfth floor.”

Chen Liling said, “Yes. Let’s not waste any more time. Let us quickly head there.”
