Jiang Nanshu peered at the bottom of her glass.
Why were there still tiny particles undissolved?
Any observant person could see that something was added, who would drink that?
Jiang Nanshu crouched and searched for chopsticks in the banquet hall, hoping to stir the drink.
After a long while, she only found knives and forks, not a single chopstick.
She casually grabbed a fork and furiously stirred the red wine.
"Nannan, what are you sneakily doing here?" This sudden voice startled Jiang Nanshu.
She turned around to see Jiang Yunchuan in a white suit, eyeing her curiously.
Jiang Nanshu: "..."
With a calm and graceful face, she removed the fork from the wine, "Just washing a fork, no big deal."
Jiang Yunchuan: "..."
It was his first time seeing someone wash a fork with red wine.
After washing, Jiang Nanshu, heartachingly, poured out the tampered wine.
Taking the fork, now redolent of wine, she began to eat a cake.
"Brother Yan seems to be looking for you, do you want to go over?"
"I’ll head over after I finish my cake, Fifth Brother, go enjoy yourself," Jiang Nanshu replied.
Jiang Yunchuan, suspecting nothing, left the area.
Jiang Nanshu placed the cake down and then picked up a fresh glass of red wine.
This time, she smartened up and moved to a more secluded spot, grabbing another fork on the way; unfortunately, she couldn’t capture the image of her setting up the harm.
Worried Jiang Yunchuan might interrupt her again, Jiang Nanshu groped her way to the ground floor storage room, which was somewhat dark, and she couldn’t find the switch. Squatting behind a storage cabinet and using the light creeping through the door slit, she began her deed.
Just as she was pouring the sleeping pills in, the storage room’s door was opened from the outside.
Jiang Nanshu stopped in her tracks, fortunately hidden in her secluded corner, the newcomer couldn’t see her without a careful look.
"Brother Ci Qiu, is the medicine ready?"
"Yes, you can go straight to the room upstairs later."
"Thank you, Brother Ci Qiu."
Jiang Nanshu: ? ? ?
The conversation between the two was hurried and brief.
They left quickly.
Jiang Nanshu pondered over the wine in her hand.
It was understandable for her, the villainess, to plot harm, but it was her first time seeing the heroine drug the hero.
Just as she hesitated whether to proceed with her plan,
The door, slightly ajar, opened again.
"Mom, is the medicine ready?"
"Xixi, just head upstairs peacefully, I have arranged everything, ensuring Lu Qingyan won’t escape from the palm of your hand!"
"Thank you, Mom, I love you."
"My sweet daughter."
Jiang Nanshu, hiding in the dark: "..."
So today, three groups intended to drug Lu Qingyan.
Her glass now seemed somewhat comical...
Jiang Nanshu stayed in the storage room for roughly ten minutes and poured out the red wine again.
Why bother? Others had beaten her to it.
Walking into the banquet hall, Lu Qingyan, who should have been mingling with guests, was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Nanshu sat for about half an hour, her heart felt tightly clenched; she didn’t understand what was wrong, but she felt terrible.
After a while, she stood up, enough time had passed; regardless of Su Ran’s reliability, the deed might have been accomplished by now. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Jiang Nanshu, lifting her dress with one hand, headed upstairs.
The first floor was the banquet hall; the second floor had rooms for guests to rest.
There were scarcely any people there.
Only the crisp sound of her high heels on the tile floor echoed.
Jiang Nanshu looked through room by room until she reached one at the far end.
