Ji Nuan was startled. It was dark and slightly damp, and the surroundings in the bathroom were quiet and empty.
There seemed to be a vague sound of dripping water coming from somewhere. In the darkness, drop by drop, it made people tremble.
Also, what's the sound outside
It seemed like a very close, sneaky movement.
Ji Nuan reached out and was about to push the door open, but was surprised to find that the door, which had just been normal just now, could not be pushed open.
Every single small door in the bathroom can only be locked from the inside. The lock inside has been opened by her. How could the door not be opened
Suddenly feeling uneasy, she raised her hand and patted the door hard several times, shouting: "Is anyone there?"
It's impossible for the lights to suddenly break down by coincidence. A top-end high-end place like the Royal Court Hotel is hosting VIP guests from the United States tonight. The staff here will definitely check everything properly to avoid any mistakes or errors. There can't be any, and the door is obviously locked by someone from outside.
It can only be explained that this is man-made!
Who is it
It is absolutely impossible for Sheng Yihan to do this. Bringing her here and then locking her up is inconsistent and has no motive, so it is not him.
She had been hiding in the dark in the banquet hall just now and didn't meet anyone from the Mo family. No one should have noticed her, let alone anyone with whom she had a problem.
Who is so bold as to dare to do this in the heavily guarded Royal Court Hotel...
Definitely not simple!
There is no window in the bathroom, and the surroundings are well sealed. As the lights go out, the air conditioner no longer operates. The power supply must have been cut off.
Ji Nuan hasn't been feeling very well today, and she doesn't know how long she will be locked up here. She shouted so loudly just now and no one came near, so no one probably heard her at all.
She gradually took a step back, closed the toilet seat, and sat on the toilet seat to conserve her energy.
Picking up the phone, the little light on the screen gave her a sense of security.
She was brought here so suddenly by Sheng Yihan that her phone didn't have time to charge, and now it only has 4% power.
There was no signal on her phone and the battery was about to run out. She turned on her phone repeatedly and watched the time go by.
Until the phone screen automatically goes dark...

At the dinner, Mo Jingshen and Mo Shaoze chatted briefly. An Shuyan was called aside by An's father at this time, and the father and daughter talked in a low voice.
Not long after, An's father and An Shuyan came back.
Mo Jingshen turned around and said to An's father in a clear voice: "I remember that Shuyan was engaged to the eldest son of the Wesson family when he was a child. Later, because his family moved to England, he never mentioned it again."
The smiles on Father An's and An Shuyan's faces suddenly froze.
Mo Jingshen smiled indifferently: "Now that the Wesson family has returned to the United States and has an inseparable relationship with the An family's company, Shuyan and Mr. Wesson's eldest son have not been married yet, and there are no suitable candidates around them. According to me, Look, it’s better for us, the Mo family, to act as matchmakers and facilitate the marriage between the two families.”
An Shuyan's face turned a little pale, and he looked at Mo Jingshen, who was always calm and composed, in disbelief.
When Mo Jingshen spoke, Mr. Wesson, who was also present today, was beside him. After hearing the words, he turned around and said with a smile in not very fluent Chinese: "Haha, the engagement was made on Miss An's fifth birthday. , after so many years, Mr. An is probably a noble man who forgets things, and he is not willing to marry his daughter too early, so I don’t have the nerve to mention it again. "
An Shuyan pondered for less than a second and then said: "Uncle Weisen, I..."
"I read that now is the age for marriage. Mr. Wesson's family also lives with the An family in New York. Even if he gets married, he will not be far away from home." Mo Jingshen's eyes were deep and his face was impeccable. With a perfect smile, she interrupted: "I heard that when the engagement was made, the Administrator of New York City was also present in person. Now that the other party is a high-ranking official in New York, it would be great if he came to preside over Shu Yan's wedding in person. but."
Father An frowned, hiding the flash of displeasure in his eyes: "Twenty years have passed since this incident..."
"The Weisen family and the An family have had a relationship for twenty years. They are not only partners, but also close friends for life. Isn't it just appropriate to arrange the marriage of the children as soon as possible?" Mo Jingshen smiled, and in a blink of an eye, he looked at the people who had officially entered. Mr. Wesson who entered the topic circle.
Mr. Wesson clinked glasses with Mo Jingshen and said politely in Chinese that he was not very proficient in: "Miss An is really outstanding. If we can marry her, we would certainly be honored! But we are afraid that we will wrong Miss An. After all, After our family went through a lot of troubles in the UK a few years ago, it’s not as bad as it used to be.”
An Shuyan bit his lip and looked from the smiling Mr. Wesson's face to Mo Jingshen's face.
Every word Mo Jingshen said left her speechless.
Moreover, Mr. Wesson has been moved emotionally by him. Now, if she refuses, she will offend the Wesson family.
Mr. Wesson's current attitude of refusing to talk is more obvious that he wants her to marry him, but he deliberately lowers his attitude.
"Mr. Weisen is really too modest. What you said is not as good as before. How many financial tycoons at home and abroad can't hold their heads up?" Mo Jingshen seemed to be unintentionally, but he was indeed leading the trend of all topics, and said with a smile: "The words of the book When she was a child, she came to Haicheng and lived temporarily in the Mo family, but she was taken back to the United States for treatment because of her acclimatization and physical discomfort. I think she seems to have lost a lot of weight recently, and I guess she still can't adapt to life in China."
"Mr. Mo..." An Shuyan was about to speak.
Mo Jingshen looked at her with a faint smile: "I know you are focused on your career, but you have indeed reached the age to get married. After the signing of this cooperation project, you will go back to the United States together. When the wedding is confirmed, remember to notify I."
An Shuyan's face turned pale again and again, and she looked at him helplessly, her slender fingers tightly pinching the hem of her skirt.
Under this man's calm and smiling eyes, there is so much depth hidden in his eyes that it catches people off guard.
An's father's face was already very ugly at this moment, but because Mo Jingshen really gave An Shuyan and the An family a lot of face today, and his words were impeccable, it really made people feel that even the anger in his heart was almost nowhere to be seen. But there is no reason to be so angry.
Mo Shao frowned and looked at all this with cold eyes, knowing that his own son had defeated an entire army, and he was already very unhappy.
No wonder Mo Jingshen was so cooperative. He had only one purpose tonight, which was to return An Shuyan to the United States in a logical manner, and to pair An Shuyan with others.
However, the way he acted was so meticulous and thorough that no one could find any reason to blame.
