Just moments ago, when the temperature hadn’t dropped too much, she didn’t feel cold. But now she felt increasingly uncomfortable. If she weren’t eager to return to the real world to earn her first commission, she would have definitely asked Yue Linze to rescue her first.
But thinking she would be able to return after freezing a bit more, Tao Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
In the hall, Yue Linying was constantly worried about the item in the room, and was somewhat distracted. After making several mistakes, Gu Yansheng called him aside and reprimanded him.
He sighed and finally couldn’t help saying, “Dad, I need to go back to the room for something. Can you let me go back for a moment?”
“What do you think I’m hosting this birthday banquet for? Absolutely not!” Gu Yansheng said sternly, his voice causing passing servants to look back frequently.
Yue Linying was already anxious, and now seeing Gu Yansheng give him no face at all, he felt increasingly dissatisfied. As a son, why could Yue Linze do whatever he wanted, while he was restricted in everything? Just as he was about to retort, police sirens suddenly sounded outside.
Yue Linying was stunned, suddenly having a bad feeling. He immediately pushed past Gu Yansheng and rushed into the banquet hall, grabbing Zhou Yanran’s wrist and asking in a trembling voice, “Didn’t you say nothing happened to the item? Why are there police cars?”
Zhou Yanran, who was socializing, was startled. Ignoring the surrounding people’s curious looks, she nervously replied, “I said the item wasn’t taken by Tao Yu, but she… she broke it…”
Slap!
“Idiot!” Yue Linying roared with bloodshot eyes, turning to flee.
Zhou Yanran was completely stunned, incredulously watching his disappearing direction. People gradually surrounded her, and the socialites who had been flattering her now looked at her with sympathy. She felt like she was standing naked in the crowd, being scrutinized and mocked.
Soon, people stopped paying attention to her because police suddenly appeared everywhere, quickly surrounding the banquet.
Gu Yansheng, embarrassed and angry, went forward: “What are you doing?!
Arrest the suspect Yue Linying.” The police said sternly.
