Chapter 371: Chapter 372: Someone Deliberately Sets a Trap
Shen Manbing suddenly looked up and asked, “How did you know all this?”
Xia Yangyang told her about the time she had seen Shen Shichuan clandestinely kissing Shen Manbing in the hospital.
Although Xia Yangyang had promised Shen Shichuan
She would never reveal this event.
But now, Xia Yangyang felt there was no need to continue hiding it.
After hearing this, Shen Manbing was stunned for a long time.
Her feelings were too complicated to describe.
Initially feeling guilty, embarrassed, and conflicted, then morphing into immense shock, yet by the end, a sense of secret delight surfaced.
So her older brother actually liked her that much.
Xia Yangyang looked at the entranced Shen Manbing with concern.
“What are you planning to do now?”
Shen Manbing sighed and responded, “I guess I’ll just take it one step at a time.”
Xia Yangyang thought that was fitting. Given their unique identities, they couldn’t do whatever they wanted when it came to matters of the heart.
Xia Yangyang suddenly remembered something: “Actually, I was very worried about you last night, a lot of strange things happened.”
Shen Manbing voiced an “oh”: “What happened?”
Xia Yangyang told her about how she was locked in the dressing room.
Shen Manbing rubbed her forehead: “Now that you mention it, I do think someone intentionally set a trap. They even called a reporter. Also, even though I can’t hold my liquor, I wouldn’t lose control to that extent. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I think I was drugged yesterday.”
The word “drugged” sent a chill of fright through Xia Yangyang.
Yet after carefully reasoning it out together, they drew a shocking conclusion.
Last night, shortly after Xiao Yao received a tip-off, she hurried over.
She was informed that there was a married woman having an affair in the dressing room, and at the very same time, Xia Yangyang got locked in there.
Xia Yangyang was a married woman, that was true.
Earlier, Shen Manbing had suggested that someone could have drugged her.
Was it possible that the real target of the person behind the trap was actually Xia Yangyang? More specifically, was it Xia Yangyang who had been drugged?
If Xia Yangyang got drugged and there was a setup involving some man in the dressing room, and then they were caught by a reporter in the act……………………………..
Just contemplating about it sent a chill down Xia Yangyang’s spine.
There was only one thing Shen Manbing couldn’t figure out: “Who hates you so much? If their target was you, then why was it me who ended up experiencing this?”
Xia Yangyang had a sudden realization: “It’s the water! That cup of water!”
Shen Manbing was astonished, “What water?”
“I didn’t drink any alcohol last night, but kept drinking the lemon water I had brought myself. My water bottle is with me all the time. If someone slipped drugs into it, I would surely have been affected. But you got drunk last night, and after I took you to the dressing room, I gave you some of my lemon water to sober up, so…”
It suddenly made sense, the cause and effect all pieced together immaculately.
Shen Manbing was trembling with anger: “Who exactly is behind all these sly deeds?!”
Unfortunately, incidents like these were not uncommon in the entertainment world.
The more successful one becomes, the more envy it incites. From the day Xia Yangyang debuted, her career skyrocketed.
Within the circle, many apparent well-wishers were filled with envious backbiting, hoping that one day she would fall from her pinnacle.
Since it was that cup of water that was problematic, almost everyone in the crew was a potential suspect.
However, Xia Yangyang had her suspicions.
It felt as if a rock was pressing against her heart, causing her to furrow her brows.
She asked Shen Manbing: “Sister Bingbing, you have extensive connections, can you help me out?”
