It was obvious that Shi Lu wanted to sit up and let the water pour out of his nose, but after struggling for a long time, he only sank deeper and deeper into the wet bed. He didn’t have the strength to sit up straight at all.

Yuan Shu watched his reaction calmly before throwing the empty mineral water bottle into the trash can.

With the sound of a mineral water bottle being thrown into the trash can, Yuan Shu said calmly to Zhang Chao, “Help him up.”

Zhang Chao was so impressed by Yuan Shu’s series of actions that he was still staring at the parabola of the mineral water bottle that Yuan Shu had thrown out. He stood at the end of the bed in a daze and only reacted when he heard Yuan Shu’s order. Then, he immediately nodded and ran to Shi Lu’s side to help him up.

Shi Lu’s upper body was already drenched. His tuxedo jacket was nowhere to be seen, and he was only wearing a white shirt. Now that he was also drenched in mineral water, his sexy abs were faintly visible.

Yuan Shu remembered seeing a closet when she first entered the living room, so she turned around to open the closet. There were indeed two bathrobes inside.

She took one back into the room and threw it on the bed. “Put it on him.”

“Okay.” Zhang Chao picked up the bathrobe and wrapped it around Shi Lu’s upper body. Zhang Chao felt that he was like a henchman now.

Yuan Shu had already picked up the phone and dialed Zhou Yan’s number. “Bring two people to Room 888 on the eighth floor now. Remember to bring a hat, sunglasses, and a mask. Be careful not to let anyone see you and the elevator needs to be guarded. Remember to deal with the reporters in the parking lot. Don’t let them take any photos.”

Yuan Shu wasn’t affected by the current situation at all. She gave instructions calmly and considered all the possible situations. This made Zhang Chao, who had been in the industry for so many years, feel admiration for her.

Zhou Yan replied, “Yes.” Then, he immediately took his things from the car and went upstairs.

He stuffed the weak Shi Lu into the car.

They were driving a red Lincoln today. The car was very long, and there was enough space in the back for Shi Lu to lie down.

Shi Lu was completely disoriented now, so there was no point in asking him. Hence, Yuan Shu turned to Zhang Chao and asked, “How did you find him?”

Zhang Chao, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, immediately turned around when he heard the question and tried his best to look behind him as he replied “Madam, the attendants I asked said that they didn’t see Second Young Master. Later on, a female celebrity who had worked with Second Young Master told me that Second Young Master chatted with Zhang Zhang for a long time and had a glass of wine with her before he left, so I went to look for Zhang Zhang again. She told me that Second Young Master was called away by you and that you asked the attendant to give him the room card.”

After Yuan Shu thought about the circumstances of the matter, she roughly figured out the development of the matter. Someone must have used her to trick Shi Lu into going to the room, but Shi Lu was the only one in the room.

If Shi Lu was drugged, he couldn’t have had the strength to chase the person out of the room. If Perhaps Shi Lu was drunk and wanted to find a room to rest, so he used the excuse that he was called away by her sister-in-law.

Yuan Shu asked Zhang Chao with uncertainty, “Are you sure Shi Lu and Zhang Zhang only drank one glass of wine together?”

Zhang Chao nodded affirmatively. “I’m sure. Zhang Zhang won’t lie to me.”

Yuan Shu knew Shi Lu’s alcohol tolerance. A glass of wine definitely wouldn’t make him drunk, so the result could only be the former. He had been drugged. Who could it be? The only person who could make Shi Lu drink drugged wine was probably Zhang Zhang.

Yuan Shu asked again, “Who is Zhang Zhang?”

Zhang Chao explained, “Zhang Zhang is Shi Lu’s only good friend in the industry. She’s forthright and has a good relationship with Shi Lu.”

Yuan Shu had never seen Zhang Zhang before, so she was still very suspicious of her. “Are you really sure that Zhang Zhang didn’t tamper with the wine today?”

“No…” A weak voice came from beside Yuan Shu. Shi Lu struggled to sit up slightly and used a lot of strength to say this..
