Xia Xingcheng splashed a lot of cold water on her cheeks to make herself sober up. But it didn't help, not only the dizziness still existed, but also her body was getting hotter.
She had been drunk before but only felt dizzy. Today was the first time she had felt so ill. Something must be wrong.
Probably she was too intoxicated, Xia Xingcheng thought. She decided to go home.
She leaned on the cold wall of the bathroom for a while, the coldness did not make the unexplainable fire inside her go away. She was reluctant to leave the cold wall.
She stood there for a moment, then got ready to get back slowly.
At this moment, two men in black suddenly came in. Xia Xingcheng was frightened. As she was about to scream, her mouth was suddenly covered.
"Hmm..."
Xia Xingcheng struggled desperately but had no strength left in her body. She could only look at those two men helplessly. Her brain was dazed, her vision was getting more blurry.
Suddenly there was blackness, Xia Xingcheng’s head was covered with something. She was overdrawn. With a feeling of dizziness, she blacked out.
Xia Xingcheng was woken by the heatwave rising inside her body. And when she woke up, she was in a completely strange room.
Opening her eyes, feeling confused and extremely uncomfortable, Xia Xingcheng’s mind was very clear. This feeling she was too familiar with, like five years ago.
Knowing that she had been drugged, she was furious. If she knew who did it, she would never let the culprit get away with it!
This was extremely shameless and despicable.
There was no time to think about anything else, Xia Xingcheng quickly observed the surrounding environment, and she found herself in a hotel room.
Fortunately, she was alone in the room now. Thinking of that, Xia Xingcheng started to bite her teeth really hard to make herself sober up and find the opportunity to escape.
However, the fever and dizziness in her body worsened, made her strengthless and unable to get up.
Xia Xingcheng became anxious. Just in a moment, her body was covered with sweat.
And as to Zhou Daiwei, after dealing with this, he returned to the party. Seeing Sheng Chenfeng was flirting with the actresses, Zhou Daiwei came to him and whispered: "Sir, it is done."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Chenfeng suddenly showed a mysterious smile. After a laugh, he got up and left the ballroom.
Before leaving, Zhou Daiwei handed Sheng Chenfeng a hotel key card.
They smiled at each other with understanding.
Gu Xingxi had been waiting for Xia Xingcheng to come back. But after a long time, he hadn’t seen Xia Xingcheng. He was getting more and more anxious, so he went to the bathroom.
But this was the ladies' room, after all, it was not appropriate for him to go in. He could only shout Xia Xingcheng’s name gently at the doorway, but no one answered.
At this time, a young woman happened to walk to the bathroom. Gu Xingxi immediately grabbed her as if he had found the savior. "Miss, would you mind going and checking for me is there a woman named Xia Xingcheng in there? I am looking for her. It was extremely urgent. Thank you so much.”
That woman was angry at first, being pulled over by someone. But when she turned around and saw Gu Xingxi’s handsome face, her anger went away. She promised Gu Xingxi without even thinking. "Ok, I'll go have a look. Wait here."
After a while, the woman came out and shook her head with great certainty. "I didn't see the woman you were looking for. There is no one inside."
Hearing her saying that there was no one inside, Gu Xingxi's face was suddenly full of shock. He saw Xia Xingcheng went in with his own eyes, how could there be no one inside?
With this in mind, Gu Xingxi could not think of anything else and decided to go straight in.
At this time, Sheng Yeting was coming out of the bathroom. He just heard Xia Xingcheng’s name vaguely while he was in there. See this young man was eager to find her, he was displeased.
Sheng Yeting grabbed Gu Xingxi directly, frowned and asked coldly: "Why are you looking for Xia Xingcheng?"
Gu Xingxi was concerned about the safety of Xia Xingcheng. Seeing this strange man calling Xia Xingcheng's name directly, Gu Xingxi began to get vigilance involuntarily: "Who are you?"
Sheng Yeting didn't answer him but asked angrily again, "Answer my question. Why are you looking for Xia Xingcheng?"
The power that emanated from Sheng Yeting actually made Gu Xingxi feel oppressed and panic for a while. Gu Xingxi had no choice but to tell Sheng Yeting what happened.
Intuitively, Gu Xingxi felt the man seemed concerned about Xia Xingcheng and did not look like a bad guy.
After hearing what Gu Xingxi said, Sheng Yeting had a bad feeling suddenly, he asked coldly: "Are you sure she hasn't come out since she went in? Is there any chance you missed her?”
Gu Xingxi immediately shook his head: "No way. I'm worried about her, so I have been staring at this direction. She did not come out, really."
"I see."
Sheng Yeting squinted his eyes and let go of Gu Xingxi. He turned around and strode off anxiously.
And as to Xia Xingcheng who was still in the hotel room, because of the effect of the drugs, she had lost her strength gradually. No matter how hard she tried, she could not get out of the room.
Apparently, the room was locked from outside. It was impossible to get out through the door.
Xia Xingcheng had to focus on somewhere else. She looked at the room. It was a very nice room, surrounded by golden lights. There was no other exit except the door. But the window was open, not locked. Xia Xingcheng was entirely focused on the only window in the room, which was the only way out for her.
She did not know who had locked her in here, so she must get out as soon as possible to protect herself.
Xia Xingcheng walked to the window, struggled to look outside. Crap, this was not feasible. After some careful counting, she learned the room was on the sixth floor. It was completely impossible to go down through the window. If she were to jump out, she would be dead for sure.
"Hmm..." Xia Xingcheng exhaled, feeling desperate after examining the room. For a weak woman like her, who had not practiced any martial arts, it was completely impossible for her to get out of the room. Which meant she had no choice but to wait for what was coming.
But she couldn't allow herself to sit still. She was still clinging on the last thread of her sobriety to look for any possibility to escape.
