After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

She didn't think she had done anything wrong tonight; given the situation, she didn't believe anyone could remain calm.

But everyone thought she was wrong.

Even Lu Peichuan got angry.

Was she really wrong?

The phone rang at that moment; it was Luo Qinghe calling.

"Is the banquet over?"

Rong Zheng's voice was indifferent. "Mm."

"I'm sorry, I have a case that goes to trial tomorrow, and I'm busy organizing the documents, so I can't go tonight."

"fine."

"Why do you seem unhappy? Did your mother-in-law give you a hard time again?"

Rong Zheng didn't cry when Bai Yuxiu slapped her, but when Luo Qinghe asked her that question, her nose suddenly stung and she felt like crying. She sniffed, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and told Luo Qinghe everything that had happened that night.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qinghe immediately cursed, "Holy shit!"

"Did you say I was wrong?"

"What's wrong with that? Who wouldn't go crazy in this situation? If it were me, I would have torn those two bastards apart on the spot. You only slapped Lu Peichuan once, which is already very gentle, okay?"

"I also feel that I'm not wrong, but no one can understand me."

"I have a feeling there's something fishy about tonight's events?"

Rong Zheng was slightly taken aback. "What's so mysterious about it?"

"You went to catch someone cheating, so you were originally the victim. But after Su Qingya explained, everything turned into a misunderstanding. You went from being the victim to the unreasonable and excessive person in an instant. Isn't this reversal a bit too coincidental?"

Rong Zheng sat up straight instantly. "You mean all of this tonight was planned in advance?"

"I don't know either. Maybe it's because I've been handling too many cases lately, and I'm too sensitive. Everything seems wrong to me."

Rong Zheng had never thought of it this way before, but after Luo Qinghe's suggestion...

Lu Peichuan went to the lounge to answer a phone call, and just then, some people next to her were gossiping about an affair taking place in the lounge.

She must have been furious when she saw Lu Peichuan and Su Qingya disheveled in the past.

Su Qingya decided not to explain earlier or later, but to wait until she had finished beating Lu Peichuan before coming over to explain.

Then the situation instantly reversed.

And Su Qingya, how did she suddenly become a victim of traditional Chinese medicine?

Who drugged her?

Who would have the motive to drug her?

Lu Peichuan was supposed to be answering Manager Wang's call, so how did he end up running into Su Qingya from the Chinese medicine business?

With so many coincidences, it seems less like coincidence and more like a premeditated scheme.

It's fine if you don't think about it deeply, but once you do, you'll find it full of doubts.

"Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

Luo Qinghe's voice pulled Rong Zheng back to reality. "I think what you said makes a lot of sense. I think I was really tricked tonight."

"Who's messing with you?"

Rong Zheng already had her answer in her heart. "What do you think?"

"Could it be Su Qingya?"

Great minds think alike.

"Drugging herself? Has she gone mad? What would she be after?"

"I don't know either, but I can't think of anyone else besides her. Maybe she feels that she was sent abroad because of me, and she's angry with me and wants to embarrass me? Or maybe she's also after Lu Peichuan?"

But if it's the latter, she should just drug Lu Peichuan and sleep with him. Why would she drug herself?

Luo Qinghe suggested, "Isn't today's hotel under the Lu Group? Why don't you ask the hotel manager to check the security footage?"

Rong Zheng's eyes lit up. "It has to be you again. I'm hanging up now. I'll go check the surveillance footage."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No need, don't you have a court hearing tomorrow? Get some rest."

Rong Zheng hung up the phone, changed her clothes, and went out. She didn't call Uncle Chen; now that she had given birth, she was more agile and could drive herself.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Rong Zheng asked the manager to review the security footage.

The manager took Rong Zheng to the monitoring room.

The staff said that the surveillance system malfunctioned tonight, and the footage from 7 pm to 8 pm was missing.

It happened right around the time Su Qingya had her accident; the coincidence was simply outrageous.

Logically speaking, for such an important day as Lu Peichuan's daughter's one-month celebration, the hotel would have done all the necessary security checks in advance to avoid any mishaps. How could the monitoring system malfunction at this crucial moment?

Previously, Rong Zheng only had suspicions, but now she is almost certain that tonight's events were not accidental, but rather premeditated.

And this person is most likely Su Qingya.

No, she had to tell Lu Peichuan about this.

Rong Zheng took out her phone and dialed Lu Peichuan's number, wanting to ask which hospital they were in.

I made the call, but no one answered.

He said he would answer her calls promptly from now on—what a liar!

After the call automatically ended, Rong Zheng thought for a moment. The nearest hospital to the hotel was the Third People's Hospital, and the one further away was the Lu family's private hospital.

Rong Zheng decisively chose the latter.

On the way, she was thinking about how to tell Lu Peichuan about this later.

Su Qingya would definitely not admit it.

There is no evidence, and it's unclear whether Lu Peichuan will believe her.

Rong Zheng thought that Lu Peichuan had always been very principled in his dealings with Su Qingya and had always stood by her side. Given all the coincidences and suspicious points, he was so smart that he should believe her.

About fifteen minutes later, Rong Zheng arrived at the Lu family's private hospital and went to the information desk to inquire. Sure enough, she learned that Lu Peichuan had brought Su Qingya here and that she had already been taken to a VIP ward.

Rong Zheng arrived at the ward door and saw Su Qingya lying on the hospital bed through the small window in the door, with Lu Peichuan sitting beside the bed with his back to her.

His hand was on the hospital bed, but it was hidden by his back, so it was unclear what he was doing.

But when she pushed the door open, she saw Su Qingya quickly put her hand under the covers.

Lu Peichuan turned his head and saw Rong Zheng. His brows furrowed slightly. "Why are you here?"

Rong Zheng felt a slight pang in her heart when she saw Lu Peichuan's displeased expression. It seemed he was still angry because she had slapped him. "I came to see her."

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

Rong Zheng looked puzzled. "What am I disappointed about?"

Lu Peichuan pursed his lips and looked at Rong Zheng, his eyes swirling with emotions Rong Zheng couldn't understand, but he quickly suppressed them, finally turning them into deep disappointment. "Zhengzheng, I didn't expect you to do this."

Rong Zheng didn't understand. "What did I do?"

Su Qingya gently tugged at Lu Peichuan's sleeve. "Peichuan, don't blame Rong Zheng. There are too many people around today; perhaps someone else administered the drug."

"I don't want to blame her, but you said you only had one drink tonight, and she handed it to you."

At first, Rong Zheng's gaze was fixed on Su Qingya tugging at Lu Peichuan's sleeve, an intimate gesture. Only later did she realize what they meant.

Shock flashed in his eyes. "You mean I was the one who drugged you tonight?"

Su Qingya looked at Rong Zheng with a pitiful expression, "Even though you don't like me, you wouldn't do this, right?"

Rong Zheng didn't even look at Su Qingya, her gaze fixed on Lu Peichuan. "You think I drugged Su Qingya?"
