Chapter 45: Let’s Watch a Show

“Jojo, why haven’t you come back yet? The banquet is about to start,” Sheng Tang’s voice came from the phone.

Qiao Shuyi pursed her lips, glanced at Sheng Mingze in front of her, and forced down the tremor in her throat, “I’ll be there soon.”

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Shuyi glanced at the wide-open window behind her, her heart hardened, and she forcefully threw her phone out.

Meeting their shocked gazes, she smiled indifferently, “My phone is now off. If I don’t go back in a few minutes, Sheng Tang will definitely call me. If she finds my phone is off, she will definitely look for me everywhere.”

Sheng Mingze gritted his teeth, his eyes becoming increasingly sinister, “You’re asking for death!”

Qiao Shuyi looked at him coldly, appearing calm on the surface, but her heart was actually filled with anxiety.

She was gambling, gambling that they would be afraid of the Sheng siblings and wouldn’t dare do anything to her.

As expected, just as Sheng Mingze was about to make a move, Sheng Mingwei raised her hand and pressed down on his shoulder, “Aze, don’t do anything reckless. Do you want to end up like me and spend years in there?”

As soon as she mentioned this, a fierce hatred flashed in Sheng Mingwei’s eyes.

Suddenly, the phone in Sheng Mingwei’s hand vibrated.

She lowered her head to take a look, a smile quickly curled up at the corner of her lips.

“It’s done, Aze.”

Hearing this, Sheng Mingze instantly laughed along.

Qiao Shuyi’s face changed, “What did you two do?”

“What we did is none of your business. Miss Qiao, I advise you to stay out of Sheng family matters, or you’ll end up getting burned…”

Sheng Mingwei rambled on, but Qiao Shuyi didn’t pay attention. She pushed her aside and rushed out.

Sheng Tang was her best friend of eight years, and Sheng Yu was the man she liked.

She would never allow anyone to hurt them!

When Qiao Shuyi rushed to the banquet hall, a harmonious and beautiful atmosphere filled the room.

Qiao Shuyi first looked towards Sheng Yu’s direction. The man was sitting in his seat, talking to Ji Xingchuan next to him, seemingly without any abnormalities.

She then turned her head to look at Sheng Tang on the other side. She was also chatting with the people around her, everything seemed normal.

…Nothing happened?

Qiao Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief and slowly returned to her seat.

Seeing her return, Sheng Tang’s gaze immediately fell on her, “Jojo, you’re finally back!”

Qiao Shuyi nodded absentmindedly.

What did Sheng Mingwei mean by “things are done”?

Were they targeting Sheng Tang or Sheng Yu this time?

Qiao Shuyi suddenly raised her head and grabbed Sheng Tang’s hand, “Tang Tang, did any waiters come to you just now?”

Sheng Tang looked at her strangely and slowly withdrew her hand, “Of course there were. Who else would have served these dishes if there weren’t any?”

Looking at the exquisite dishes on the table, Qiao Shuyi fell silent for a moment.

It seemed like there weren’t so many dishes on the table when she left…

So, not only did waiters come to their table, but also to Sheng Yu’s table.

What did Sheng Mingze and Sheng Mingwei instruct the waiter to do?

Could it be that they poisoned Sheng Yu or Sheng Tang?

As soon as this thought arose, Qiao Shuyi’s heartbeat slowed down.

But on second thought, it seemed unlikely.

They wouldn’t be so bold. If they wanted to poison them, they would have done it long ago.

Once Sheng Yu or Sheng Tang was poisoned, they wouldn’t be able to escape either. The police would quickly investigate them, and they would face years, even decades, in prison.

But if it wasn’t poison, what could it be?

At this moment, her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Sheng Mingwei and her brother returning at the same time.

She clearly saw Sheng Mingze turn his head towards Sheng Yu’s direction as he sat down.

So, their target was Sheng Yu this time, right?

She didn’t know if Sheng Yu saw the message she sent him.

If he did, he would definitely be more alert.

But the problem was, Sheng Mingwei said things were done.

What exactly did they do to Sheng Yu?

But Sheng Yu seemed perfectly normal, without any abnormalities.

Qiao Shuyi felt her thoughts were in a mess, unable to sort them out…

With a heart full of anxiety, Qiao Shuyi picked up her chopsticks and slowly started eating the banquet food.

While eating, she kept an eye on Sheng Yu’s situation.

Sheng Yu remained normal, but—

Halfway through the meal, Sheng Mingze suddenly stood up, his face flushed, and he stumbled out of the banquet hall.

Qiao Shuyi stared at this scene in a daze, not knowing what happened.

The others were also confused by his sudden behavior.

Only Sheng Mingwei’s face changed slightly, and she quickly stood up and chased after him.

“Aze!”

Sheng Mingwei chased after Sheng Mingze for a long distance before finally catching up to him.

When she saw Sheng Mingze’s appearance, her face instantly changed, “What’s wrong with you? Why is your face so red?”

Sheng Mingze gritted his teeth and said bitterly, “It must be Sheng Yu! He discovered something… This medicine should have been put in his soup! He must have switched my soup with his!”

At this moment, his face was so red it seemed like it was going to bleed, he was panting heavily, and his speech was slurred.

“What do we do now? You…”

Not knowing what she thought of, Sheng Mingwei subconsciously took two steps back.

She remembered that Aze had said that this medicine was specially obtained from abroad, and the effect was very strong.

Once it took effect, it would only… only…

Sheng Mingwei subconsciously wanted to escape, but Sheng Mingze grabbed her hand, “Sister Wei, help me, help me, I feel so bad…”

“You’re crazy?! I’m your sister! Let go of me!”

Sheng Mingwei stepped hard on his foot, and while he was in pain, she quickly slipped away.

…

No one in the banquet hall noticed any of this.

Qiao Shuyi had been paying attention to Sheng Mingwei and her brother.

Sheng Mingwei went out for a while, but she returned quickly.

But Sheng Mingze, ever since he ran out, never came back until the end of the banquet.

“Brother Sheng Yu.” Taking advantage of the flow of people, Qiao Shuyi quietly slipped to Sheng Yu’s side, “Are you okay?”

Sheng Yu shook his head, “I’m fine.”

“What happened tonight? Why did Sheng Mingze…”

“I’ll explain later, let’s go watch a show first.”

“A show?”

Soon, Qiao Shuyi knew what he meant by a show.

The banquet ended, and the guests left.

However, when everyone passed by a rest room, they heard a suggestive sound coming from inside.

Many people blushed on the spot.

They wanted to pretend they didn’t hear anything, but the sound didn’t stop.

Some young masters who loved to watch the fun simply stopped at the door of the rest room, wanting to see when the sound would end.

So, more and more people gathered at the door of the rest room to watch the fun.

Although there were many people, they all tacitly chose to remain silent.

After all, if they spoke too loudly, they wouldn’t be able to hear what was going on inside.
