Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Danger at the Bar (1) Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Danger at the Bar (1) The gaze was intense and direct, Lu Wanwan glanced only once before immediately standing up.
“Wanwan,” Yi Cheng suddenly spoke, looking at her, “Stay a little longer? I’m afraid I won’t be in Manchester afterwards, so…”
Da Liu, his hand resting on the back of the chair, said in confusion, “Are you moving your entire family? What exactly happened?”
Yi Cheng’s expression stiffened slightly, and his lips pursed unnaturally.
“Something you can’t talk about?” Da Liu’s eyes widened as he teased, “Come on, spill it. If there’s any difficulty, you can ask Brother to help.”
“It’s nothing…” He smiled awkwardly, looking up at Lu Wanwan, “Wanwan, if you really don’t want to go to the evening event, why not finish dinner and leave together?”
Lu Wanwan was caught in a dilemma.
Chen Jie scoffed, speaking in a mocking tone, “If someone wants to leave, let them leave. Why force them to stay if they’re unwilling?”
“Chen Jie, she has something to do,” Tang Xiao explained for her.
But Tang Xiao was also an intern, with little influence, and her words didn’t carry much weight.
“Then I will leave after dinner,” Lu Wanwan said, finding herself in a difficult position, and sat down again.
But no matter what the evening event was, she definitely would not go.
After the excruciatingly slow farewell dinner finally ended, she received a call from Xu Yuan.
“Alright, alright, I’m on my way,” she hurriedly said, creating an air of urgency, before finally hailing a taxi.
Yi Cheng watched her get into the taxi, his gaze somewhat dazed.
Xiaoli nudged him and, nodding towards another empty cab, whispered with a laugh, “Chase after her, you might not get another chance. If you’re a man, do it.”
Yi Cheng nodded abruptly and strode to the vacant cab.
“Please follow the car in front,” he requested.
The taxis were lined up in order, waiting for passengers and the one she had taken was right in front of this one, so the driver had seen the girl getting into it.
He cast a weird glance at Yi Cheng. A grown man secretly following a girl, wasn’t that a bit odd?
“That’s my girlfriend,” Yi Cheng said.
With understanding, the driver gave a subtle look and set off following the car.
Through the journey, Yi Cheng’s face was clouded, his fists clenched tightly.
“Young man, we’ve arrived,” said the driver, stopping the car and looking at the glitzy entertainment club outside, “Wow, Caesar’s, this place is upscale. People like us can’t even afford it. Hurry inside and find your girlfriend, don’t let her stray.”
Yi Cheng paid the fare and silently followed her out of the car.
Claiming a friend was in trouble, she had actually run off to a place like Caesar’s.
If he hadn’t discovered some issues recently, he would never have known that behind her innocent appearance, she was that kind of woman.
“I’m here, Xu Yuan, where are you?” Lu Wanwan arrived at the entrance of Caesar’s and called Xu Yuan, completely oblivious to the fact that someone was following her.
“What? It’s too noisy on your side, speak clearly, I didn’t hear you…”
“Are you too drunk? Never mind, wait for me to come find you, don’t drink any more!”
The call was too chaotic, Xu Yuan’s words unclear, and she couldn’t remember if it was 3011 or 3017, or perhaps 3077, 3071 or similar.
There was no choice but to go up and search, apologizing if she entered the wrong door.
Fortunately, there was no 3077 or 3071 on the third floor.
As she searched and pushed open the door to room 3017, Xu Yuan, who was either drugged or drunk, was being pressed onto a sofa, surrounded by four or five drunken men trying to tear off her clothes.
When the door swung open, those men all abruptly turned to look her way, their eyes predatory.
