The sleeping pills had indeed worked well, and combined with the amount of alcohol Gu Zhuo had consumed, he quickly fell asleep. Gu Hai then contacted a few trusted subordinates to swiftly move Gu Zhuo to Gu Chen’s room and Gu Chen to a nearby small lounge.

After completing these tasks, Gu Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief. The success or failure hinged on this single moment.

Everyone involved believed their actions were undetected, but they were unaware that every step had been monitored.

Peter, unable to stay at the banquet due to his health, had his men watching everything closely. He had known about Xu Wen’s little tricks from the start. He knew Song Yin was a troublemaker, and now that she had become Miss Xu, she no longer listened to him.

Xia Yu, with fear in his eyes, lowered his head and asked, “Young Master, what do you intend to do? Do you need me to punish her?”

Xia Yu hadn’t expected Xu Wen to still defy orders after everything she had been through. His tone had become much more venomous. “If necessary, I can make her poison act up now so she can’t do anything.”

“She dared to harm Gu Chen. It seems you have been too lenient with her,” Peter said weakly, his voice barely audible. “Leave her be for now. Her plan won’t succeed. Let’s just watch the show. But I need to find my dear Miss Song first.”

Gu Hai’s actions weren’t particularly secretive, but as Gu Zhuo’s biological father, seeing him arrange for Gu Zhuo to be carried off made others assume Gu Zhuo was simply too drunk. Who would suspect a father of drugging his son?

Song Fan had been talking to Gu Zhuo just moments before, but now she couldn’t find him. She had intended to ask him if he was still at school and about Xiao Xiao’s situation, but he had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“Miss Song, are you looking for someone?” Peter appeared before her again, making Song Fan visibly annoyed.

Peter, however, paid no mind to her reaction and continued to smile warmly. “President Gu doesn’t seem well. He got drunk after a few sips. It’s dangerous for someone poisoned to drink alcohol.”

“Where is he?” Song Fan knew Peter wouldn’t tell her this without a reason, and she feared something had happened to Gu Chen.

Peter kept smiling. “Don’t look at me like that. I didn’t do it. Miss Xu might be upset.”

Song Fan clenched her fists and squinted at him, feeling a wave of panic. If Xu Wen had drugged Gu Chen, it could trigger his poisoning.

“I’m just giving you a friendly reminder. I hope you’ll consider working with me,” Peter said earnestly. “He’s in the lounge next to the elevator on the third floor.”

“Thanks. I’ll consider it,” Song Fan said before quickly heading upstairs. She couldn’t waste any time.

Reaching the third floor, she noticed no attendants around. She glanced at the surveillance cameras, but they were off, indicating they had been disabled.

She hurried into the lounge where Gu Chen lay. The air was thick and heavy, accompanied by Gu Chen’s groans.

“Gu Chen, how are you?” Song Fan rushed to the bed and turned on the light.

Gu Chen’s face was flushed red, his breathing irregular. Sensing a familiar presence, he grabbed Song Fan tightly.

“Xiao Fan,” he murmured softly.

Song Fan felt his burning body and noticed the tent in his lower half, clear signs of drugging.

She quickly took his wrist to check his pulse. Fortunately, he hadn’t consumed much of the drug, so it could still be suppressed with medication. She retrieved a pill from her purse and popped it into his mouth.

Just as she was about to get him some water, his arm wrapped tightly around her waist, and he began rubbing against her, calling her name.

His mind was clouded, one arm pinning her down while the other roamed over her body.

Despite her experience, Gu Chen’s actions made Song Fan’s heart race. She tried to pry his hand away but was met with his sudden strength, locking her in place.

Reluctant to hurt him, Song Fan took a deep breath and delivered a sharp chop to his neck, rendering him unconscious.

Looking at Gu Chen’s state, Song Fan felt exasperated. The capital was indeed fraught with danger, with Gu Chen’s admirers being unpredictable ticking time bombs.

While she waited for the drug’s effects to wear off, the corridor outside became chaotic. Song Fan frowned, realizing those who plotted against Gu Chen were arriving.
