Whether it was because of last time’s concerns or not, those people just knocked her out and nothing more severe occurred, they probably thought she had seen them.
"Song Ning is on the way, she’ll be here soon."
After leaving from the hotel, Wen Qiao lingered nearby, not daring to leave, and her unease grew increasingly serious.
She didn’t know why her brother had asked her to call Lu Wanwan to this hotel, but she vaguely remembered something mentioned about a drug.
Her coerced task seemed to be completed, and whatever happened afterward would have nothing to do with her.
After all, it was Lu Wanwan who chose to stay back and asked her to leave first, she could choose to be someone who knew nothing.
Standing by the roadside, she hesitated.
Summoning her courage at last, she took out her phone.
"Mr. Ji, I’m a bit worried about Wanwan. Could you call Mr. Gu for me?"
Wen Qiao explained the situation in a few words, praying that nothing would go wrong.
She didn’t dare to tell the truth, she only said that Lu Wanwan had let her leave the hotel first, and after waiting a long time, she hadn’t seen anyone, so she was a bit worried.
If Gu Annan suddenly came here, he probably wouldn’t think it was her who made the call.
As Wen Qiao was thinking this, suddenly, a limousine pulled up beside her.
Startled, she watched as the driver got out and opened the back door.
"Do I need to invite you in?" Cesar, engrossed in some document and barely lifting his head, spoke as chillily as ever.
Only he and a middle-aged man remained in the car; the two subordinates who were there before had already left.
Wen Qiao’s heart raced, she got into the car without daring to speak, the phone in her hand clenched tightly.
She wasn’t sure if he had seen her making the call just now, he probably hadn’t... right?
"Every time I hear you call me that, I feel nauseated." Cesar coldly scoffed, languid in his dismissal, "There’s no need for pretenses when we’re not in front of Father."
Wen Qiao’s face turned pale, and she fell silent.
"Not going to ask how that girl is doing?"
"You have your plans."
Cesar’s handsome features cast a demonic shadow under the car’s interior light, "Behave yourself, and maybe I’ll start seeing you differently."
Lu Wanwan drank all the remaining water.
Bai Lingyun lounged on the sofa, his lips curving with amusement, "I did warn you. I’m not sure if you’re poisoned or it’s just ordinary sleeping pills. What if the situation gets worse after drinking the water, what then?"
She placed the empty bottle aside, "I only know that not drinking water would make things even worse. When is Doctor Song arriving?"
"Should be soon," Bai Lingyun glanced at the last text from Song Ning.
He had hastened her many times and did so once more.
Lu Wanwan was a bit anxious, her thirst was not just from the need to drink, but because of the heat inside her.
Ever since she woke up, she felt hot, with beads of sweat continuously forming on her body.
The ice water brought only momentary relief, but it was still not enough.
She was somewhat worried, as Bai Lingyun was right, her condition had not yet been confirmed.
She had been drugged before, which made her a bit afraid and embarrassed to tell him.
What if this heat kept getting worse?
The fire in her chest was raging, she opened another bottle of ice water from the fridge.
In the end, her inner worries prevailed, "Um, if she hasn’t arrived yet, I’m going to take a shower..."
Bai Lingyun sat on the sofa, idly flicking his phone.
Hearing her embarrassed tone, he pretended not to understand and nodded, "As you wish."
He had already considered this possibility, but it wasn’t quite appropriate to ask her directly if she was feeling a strange compulsion.
