“What happened?” Mo Jingshen’s eyes were sharp as knives as he turned to An Shuyan.
An Shuyan did not expect that he would actually ask her.
This man’s observational skills and thoughts were way too careful…
Careful to the point where… it was terrifying…
“I’m not sure,” An Shuyan knew she could not conceal it, so she lowered her voice. “Earlier on, I wanted to visit the restroom, but I felt that this place… was not very normal…”
“Only not normal?” Mo Jingshen chuckled coldly. “An Shuyan, you don’t wish to return safely to America?”
An Shuyan’s expression was stiff and about to crack from his coldness. She lowered her gaze. “I’m really not sure.”
Mo Jingshen did not pay her any more attention. His cold gaze returned to Sheng Yihan.
Sheng Yihan did not plan on wasting any more time. A hint of worry appeared in his eyes, he said slowly, “Ji Nuan entered the bathroom 25 minutes ago. She still hasn’t come out.”
The other party had just finished his words when An Shuyan instinctively rushed to wrap her arms around the man’s elbow. Before she could touch him, Mo Jingshen’s silhouette was already a few steps away from her.
Seeing that the restroom door was actually locked from outside, Mo Jingshen’s jaw tightened, and his Adam’s apple moved. His gaze was heavy and could unfreeze the water of the frozen rivers.

The instant the bathroom’s heavy door was kicked open, the stuffy and humid air of the malfunctioning air cooler began to spread out.
Mo Jingshen’s brows furrowed tightly. All of the cubicle doors were slightly open because they were unused. Only the cubicle at the end was tightly locked.
Hearing the noise, the hotel employee immediately brought over a flashlight. After being cut by Mo Jingshen’s cold eyes, he rushed forward to help open the door inside.
The moment the door was opened, they saw Ji Nuan dressed in a pink gown sitting on the toilet seat cover. Her head was limply pressed against the wall, her body slanted to the side. Her hair was sticking against her sweaty face. Both her eyes were peacefully shut; her face was as pale as paper, and even her lips barely had any color. She was already unconscious.
An Shuyan was right behind. Seeing this scene, her delicate brows knitted after looking at Ji Nuan’s terrifyingly white face…
“Aiya, why is there still someone in this bathroom?” the employee, uninvolved in the whole incident, anxiously said. “How long has she been unconscious for? We have to call for a doctor quickly. Hopefully, nothing happened…”
The employee’s words had yet to finish when Mo Jingshen threw off his suit jacket, his gaze heavy. He directly carried out the unmoving Ji Nuan. Her entire body was ice-cold, and her gown was filled with the stifled, humid air. He wrapped half her body in his warm suit jacket, quickly bringing her out in a bridal carry.
The instant he walked out of the bathroom, Mo Shaoze was already standing by the door with a cold as ice expression as he watched the scene.
A flash of somber coldness flashed by Mo Jingshen’s eyes. He quickly carried Ji Nuan past him unhesitatingly. He passed by Shen Mu who had rushed over and coldly said, “Get Qin Siting here immediately.”
Shen Mu was startled, completely unaware of what had happened. After seeing the pale Ji Nuan, he frantically nodded. “I will inform Doctor Qin immediately.”
He had just finished his words when he glanced back and saw Sheng Yihan standing right next to the crowd. He thought in his heart, did they not already have a doctor here?
An orthopedic surgeon was still a doctor…
However, he did not dare to say these words right now and suspected that if he dared, he would not even know how he had died.
Even if tonight’s most attention-drawing person was Shine Group’s Director and the true holder of the Mo family’s power, Mo Shaoze, Mo Jingshen had an existence impossible to ignore in Hai Cheng.
Even though he rarely showed up in such events and was low-key to the point where others were completely clueless about his private life, Mo Jingshen’s position in the business world was such that no one dared to underestimate him. Anyone who knew the words Mo Jingshen would carefully watch his actions both inside and out of the country.
The people of Hai Cheng knew that Mo Jingshen’s character was high up and unapproachable. Aside from relatives and friends, few people could get close to him. Most people only dared to go up to make small talk and offer words of flattery. To receive a polite, mild smile from him was also a form of honor.
A few months ago, there was a rumor that even if Mo Jingshen had a political marriage with the Ji family, his relationship with his wife Ji Nuan was only in name. There was no emotional foundation in their relationship. Most people who knew of it thought he would definitely divorce her and marry someone else.
Yet, at this moment, in the luxurious ballroom, everyone saw this shocking scene…
Mo Jingshen’s typically indifferent expression—that could not be moved even if the skies fell—was frighteningly cold. Not only could everyone clearly see the grimness and thunderous rage on his face, but they could also see him carrying through the ballroom a woman dressed in a pink gown.
Furthermore, this woman was actually… the Mrs. Mo who had been rumored to be “kicked into the cold palace,” several months ago—Ji Nuan!
Among the people who witnessed this, there were quite a few who recognized Ji Nuan’s face, which was beautiful enough to drive others to rage. However, her usually bright and soft skin was currently frighteningly pale.
The one who had been mentioned by everyone to soon marry into the Mo family, An Shuyan, was following behind tightly with a sickly expression. Yet, he completely ignored her. He did not even offer her a single glance.
“CEO Mo.” An Shuyan followed behind Mo Jingshen closely. “Mrs. Mo’s gown needs to be changed! I brought an additional set of clothing, let me help her change…”
“No need!” Mo Jingshen’s gaze was cold as the winter night; able to change water to ice in an instant.
An Shuyan instantly froze, her expression gradually crumbling.
All the distinguished guests in the hall were shocked that Mo Jingshen would actually be pushed into so much rage due to Ji Nuan. He was utterly ruthless to An Shuyan.
The news that An Shuyan would soon marry into the Mo family was instantly smashed into smithereens by Mo Jingshen.

Shen Mu hung up the phone, turning back to see Mo Shaoze approach with his dark and cold expression.
“Director Mo.” Shen Mu respectfully nodded to him.
Mo Shaoze snarled, “Since she is already unconscious, directly send her to the hospital. Why keep her here and bring Qin Siting over? Do you think the fuss isn’t big enough? You worry the guests won’t have enough show to watch?”
Shen Mu was quiet for a moment before seriously saying, “Apologies, Director Mo, I’ve followed CEO Mo’s side for a long time. I’m used to following his orders.”
Mo Shaoze narrowed his cold eyes.
Shen Mu added, “At this time, all the doctors in the nearby hospitals would have already gotten off work. There will only be emergency and overtime workers. Everyone in Hai Cheng and outside of it is aware of Doctor Qin’s skills. Since CEO Mo called him over, he must have his own thoughts. And since the evening party has yet to end, if CEO Mo directly abandoned the guests and left, it might bring even more discomfort to everyone…”
Mo Shaoze stared at him with an ugly expression. Shen Mu did not wait for him to speak. He politely and respectfully nodded. “Doctor Qin is already on the way here. I’ll go wait for him at the entrance.”
Finishing his words, he acted as though he did not see Mo Shaoze’s glacial expression. He turned and quickly walked out of the hotel entrance.
