Chapter 118 The tip of the iceberg
In the previous life, Jiang Huashan was the one who was unwilling.
It was her twentieth birthday, and Shenzhuang held the most sensational birthday party in Hong Kong for her, with all the political and business celebrities from Country A present.
That day, Jiang Huashan was like a little princess in a fairy tale kingdom, who was doted on by everyone. She wore the most beautiful dress and the most sparkling jewelry, and enjoyed praise from all sides.
Shen Zhuang told her that he would announce to everyone when the clock struck twelve that from now on she would no longer be Jiang Huashan but Shen Huashan.
Jiang Huashan has been waiting for this day for ten years. Although she likes Shen Lanxi, she would rather be Shen Zhuang's granddaughter than be his wife.
So she was looking forward to the ceremony so much that she didn't dare drink too much even at her birthday party, for fear of making a fool of herself.
She was cautious throughout the entire banquet.
Nearing twelve o'clock, Fang Mei handed her a glass of fruit wine. When she woke up again, she found herself lying on an unfamiliar bed.
The strange and restless feeling on her body made her completely panic. Her first reaction was to check her clothes. She was temporarily relieved when she found that they were intact.
Jiang Huashan tried hard to keep herself calm. If such a thing happened in such an occasion, it would either ruin her or discredit the Shen family. Either way, the situation would be very bad.
She struggled to roll off the bed and crawled to the door bit by bit. She couldn't hear anything through the door.
At that moment, she was almost in despair! She was only one step away from becoming her grandfather's granddaughter, so why couldn't she do so?
She banged on the door and screamed desperately hoping someone would come to save her.
Maybe God finally showed mercy to her and someone really responded to her.
The door was pushed open from the outside with a click, and before she could react, a very beautiful girl sneaked in.
"Shh!"
She closed the door immediately after entering the room.
"There was someone guarding outside. I pretended to accidentally spill a glass of wine on the man and that's how I got the room key."
Jiang Huashan felt extremely hot all over, and he pulled her, "Please, take me away from here. My grandfather is Shen Zhuang, I can satisfy you with anything you want."
The girl touched her forehead, took out a mint from her pocket and put it into her mouth. "They drugged me. You're inexperienced and you won't be able to handle it. I can save you, but are you serious about what you just said? Can you really satisfy me with anything?"
Jiang Huashan grabbed the girl tightly, as if pulling at the last straw in her life, "Really? I swear! If I lie to you, I will be abandoned by everyone in my life and never get what I want."
The girl nodded. "I believe you! In fact, apart from trusting you, I'm at my wit's end."
The girl pulled out a black envelope from her underwear. "Here is half a piece of paper and half a memory card. Please pass it to Mr. Shen for me. The Shen family is our last hope. Mr. Shen dotes on you so much, so what you say will definitely be helpful."
Jiang Huashan took a look at it and took the envelope without saying a word, "Okay, okay, I will definitely speak up for you."
The girl was a little worried and pulled her hard, her fingertips turning slightly white. "Ms. Jiang, they all died in order to spread this secret, so..." The girl's eyes were filled with blood and tears. "Please, don't lie to me."
Jiang Huashan nodded, "Absolutely not."
The girl then slowly loosened her grip and said, "I can only take another gamble. I hope my luck isn't too bad."
After the two reached an agreement, the girl took a blanket to cover Jiang Huashan and pretended to be drunk and walked out of the room.
Just then, the elevator rang.
A man in a black suit walked out.
The man didn't pay any attention to them and walked straight ahead.
Jiang Huashan kept her head down, and when she passed the man, she saw a lotus tattoo on the man's right ring finger.
Her body suddenly trembled, and the girl pinched her arm for fear of being exposed.
The man stopped in front of the room where she was unconscious, and touched the lining of his suit, as if looking for something?
"Ding--"
At this time, the elevator doors opened again.
The man suddenly realized something and turned to look at the elevator.
"stop!"
Jiang Huashan trembled even more violently. Through her half-hidden vision, she saw the man rushing towards them in a rage.
"Quick! Close the door!"
The girl pressed the door close button hard.
Just as the man's hand was about to touch the button, the elevator door closed.
"Don't be afraid. You have to swipe your card to get on this elevator. I have his card, so he can't get up for now. Let's go to the top floor. As long as we reach the banquet hall, we'll be safe."
Jiang Huashan was trembling all over, gritting her teeth and not saying a word.
"Ding--"
The elevator stopped on the 32nd floor.
But the banquet hall is on the thirty-third floor.
Before the two could react, the elevator door slowly opened.
A group of men in black pointed laser guns at them.
The girl turned pale with fear, and just as she was about to close the door, a hand got there first.
A man wearing a wolf-fang mask grabbed the girl's wrist, dragged her out of the elevator and threw her heavily to the ground.
The man watching stepped on the girl's shoulder, and the others came forward to search her body. In a blink of an eye, the girl was covered in wounds and was naked.
"Boss, no."
The leader turned to look at Jiang Huashan, "Isn't there another one?"
Jiang Huashan was stunned by the scene before her. Seeing a group of ferocious men approaching, she immediately threw the envelope in her arms away.
"I do not know anything."
She curled up in the corner with her head in her hands, not daring to look at the girl's expression.
The man squatted down and picked up the envelope. After confirming that it was what he was looking for, he took out a lighter from his pocket.
"Ms. Jiang, thank you for your cooperation."
Everything, the secrets they defended with their lives, was burned to ashes.
"Wow..." The girl choked and cried.
The man stood up and raised his hand, and the girl was dragged into the fire escape.
Jiang Huashan stood up and wanted to rescue her, but retreated because she was afraid of the man in front of her.
The man was very satisfied and squatted down to remove the blanket from her.
Jiang Huashan screamed in fright. The man, wearing leather gloves, clamped her jaw tightly.
"Don't worry, Miss Jiang. We are not bad people. Don't say anything in front of the old man, otherwise everyone will know tomorrow that Miss Jiang got drunk at a banquet and hung out with a man from outside her family."
Jiang Huashan didn't dare to look, but had to. In panic, she saw a pair of gloomy and terrifying eyes.
After the man left, she climbed out of the elevator crying.
At this moment, the number of another elevator suddenly started jumping, and it was coming from the eighteenth floor where she had just escaped.
Jiang Huashan suddenly collapsed and staggered into the aisle.
There was only one presidential suite on the 32nd floor. She was completely confused and banged on the door while crying.
"Ding--"
The moment the elevator door opened, the room door also opened.
Shen Lanxi was wearing a bathrobe with half-wet hair. The water droplets at the ends of her hair slowly condensed, slid across her collarbone and rolled into a place she couldn't see.
"boom--"
Her sanity collapsed in an instant, and she pounced on Shen Lanxi's arms like a hungry wolf, then began to pull his belt frantically.
