Chapter 345 - 318 Conspiracy
Almost an hour after the celebration began.Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian left together.
Leaving Meng Yan with Qiao Lech.
Qiao Yuxian had a few words with Qiao Lech, saying there were some things to take care of, and told her to wait here and not go anywhere.
Telling her to find Meng Yan if she needed anything.
Sheng Anhe sat next to Zhao Shimeng, watching the two of them leave, she lowered her gaze to her phone.
In the ten minutes since Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian left, Sheng Anhe had been holding her phone, brushing her fingers across it.
After almost fifteen minutes, the phone vibrated gently.
Sheng Anhe immediately opened her phone to take a look.
Someone named "Dot" sent her a message: [Miss Sheng, everything has been arranged. Gu Yanjing is in room 2901.]
Sheng Anhe immediately replied: [What about Qiao Yuxian?]
The other party replied: [As planned, she’s been called to another room. Only Gu Yanjing is in room 2901.]
Sheng Anhe asked again: [Has the person arranged already gone?]
The other party replied: [Gone. Tonight is guaranteed to be foolproof, ruin her.]
Reading this message, Sheng Anhe slightly lifted the corner of her mouth and then said to Zhao Shimeng, "Mom, don’t wait for me when you go back later."
"Where are you going?" Zhao Shimeng asked.
Unable to hide the joy on her face, Sheng Anhe said, "I’ll tell you when I get home tomorrow, I’m leaving now. Don’t call me when you and Dad return."
"An He." Zhao Shimeng called out to her.
Sheng Anhe heard but ignored her, and left directly.
Zhao Shimeng watched her leaving figure.
Sheng Chendong said, "Don’t worry, she’s grown up."
"It’s all your doing." Zhao Shimeng turned to look at him and said.
Sheng Chendong held her hand and laughed, "I was just following your orders."
Zhao Shimeng pulled her hand away, saying, "Go away, you’re annoying."
Sheng Chendong looked at her for a moment before taking her hand back into his own.
This time Zhao Shimeng didn’t pull away, and they both watched the program in peace.
...
On the 29th floor of the hotel.
When Sheng Anhe arrived, the entire floor was quiet, with only one hotel staff member present.
It was the person who sent Sheng Anhe the messages.
As Sheng Anhe walked inward, the staff member walked outward.
The two exchanged glances from a distance, then both looked away.
When they finally passed each other, the staff member sidestepped and nodded, "All has been arranged."
Sheng Anhe paused, looking at him with a smile and asking, "What about the people around Gu Yanjing?"
"They’ve been led away," the staff member said, lowering his head.
Sheng Anhe chuckled and asked, "Which room is Qiao Yuxian in?"
"2905." the staff member replied.
"Did you plant the cameras?" Sheng Anhe asked.
"Yes." the staff member nodded.
"Got it." Sheng Anhe said, "You’ll get every penny promised. Now go, to A Continent. Live your good life."
"Okay."
Sheng Anhe smiled contentedly, a spark of excitement in her eyes, and without saying anything more, she headed towards 2901.
As she passed by the staff member, he handed her the room card.
Sheng Anhe quickly took it.
The staff member watched her back, clenched his slightly trembling hands, and quickly left.
At the door of room 2901, Sheng Anhe took a deep breath, then placed the room card on the sensor.
With a beep, the door responded by opening.
She cautiously pushed the door open and entered.
The lights were on inside, and it was quiet. Fresh chapters posted on novelhall.com
She glanced around, entered the room, and closed the door.
Then she called out, "Gu Yanjing?"
There was no response.
She walked slowly further inside, her feet making faint sounds on the carpet.
Until she pushed open the inner room door, Sheng Anhe heard water running from the bathroom.
"Gu Yanjing?" she called again.
There was still no answer besides the sound of running water.
Sheng Anhe chuckled, entered the room, and did a circle inside. She approached the bathroom door, where the water was still running.
Leaning against the door, she listened, hearing nothing but the water.
After standing there for a while, she knocked and called out, "Gu Yanjing."
Still no answer.
Sheng Anhe smiled again, and said, "Brother Yanjing?"
There was silence, only the sound of water.
Standing at the door, Sheng Anhe looked at her clothes.
Today she wore a cross-collared Hanfu.
After examining it, she pulled her top out of her skirt, loosening the collar a bit, then knocked on the door and said, "Gu Yanjing? Need help?"
After speaking, Sheng Anhe placed her hand on the doorknob and turned it.
It wasn’t locked inside, her face lit up with joy, her face muscles trembled with excitement as she turned the knob and entered the bathroom directly.
"Gu Yanjing, I..." Sheng Anhe’s unusually excited expression vanished without a trace upon seeing the person inside.
The coquettish tone abruptly stopped.
Qiao Yuxian sat on the edge of the bathtub, arms folded, legs stretched out.
A very lazy and relaxed posture, like a lion waiting for its prey.
She wore her hair in a high ponytail, her expression cold, exuding a sharp ferocity from head to toe.
She glanced indifferently at Sheng Anhe’s frozen expression and disheveled open clothes, scoffing, "What? Not the person you were looking for, feeling disappointed?"
Hearing her voice, Sheng Anhe finally snapped back to reality, her expression slowly changing to one of shock, "Why is it you?!"
"Why can’t it be me?" Qiao Yuxian said, "If not here, where else? In 2905? Being pinned down and humiliated by a group of men?"
It seemed Sheng Anhe’s breathing halted for a moment, unable to believe what she was seeing, unable to figure out where things had gone wrong.
She had clearly put the drugs in both their drinks.
They both drank it too.
How could it be?
How could this happen?
"Can’t figure it out?" Qiao Yuxian picked up the phone from the edge of the bathtub, opened a chat and showed it to Sheng Anhe.
Sheng Anhe looked at the phone.
It was her chat history with the staff.
The staff told her everything was arranged, which room Gu Yanjing was in, and so on.
Sheng Anhe looked over at Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian put the phone away, saying, "The messages were sent by me. All the people you bribed turned against you. Including the staff you just saw in the corridor."
Sheng Anhe felt her throat constrict, breathing became difficult, unable to speak, swallowing even became extremely hard.
Qiao Yuxian tossed the phone at her feet, speaking in a barely audible voice, "You think your plan was flawless? You think everyone can be manipulated by you? How naive. You use money to buy people, of course others can use more money to make them turn against you."
Sheng Anhe looked at her without speaking, her face stiff and bloodless.
As water filled the bathtub, Qiao Yuxian turned off the faucet, looked at her, and continued, "Gu Yanjing is a married man, there are plenty of men in the world, what’s so great about another’s man? Making you dress like this late at night to sell yourself to seduce a man."
