He didn't know how long he had slept, but when he woke up again, before he even opened his eyes, Ling Ziqian smelled a fragrant scent, like the scent of hair.

Something was tickling my cheek.

Ling Ziqian reached out and touched a handful of long hair...

Episode 23: Carelessness Caused Trouble

Chapter 177 Carelessness Leads to Disaster!

I touched a handful of smooth, long hair.

This had happened before, but Ling Ziqian was still frightened!

He quickly opened his eyes; the room was dimly lit. It was already evening.

The person lying next to her, the one with the smooth, long hair, was none other than Xu Ya!

Ling Ziqian jolted awake, completely bewildered.

How did Xu Ya end up lying next to me? And how did she even get in?

For a moment, Ling Ziqian's mind was in a mess.

When he turned on the lights in the room, Ling Ziqian realized that something was wrong.

Xu Ya was lying on the edge of the bed, still wearing her coat and carrying a bag. She was still wearing high heels.

The way she looked was as if she walked to the bedside and then collapsed!

"Strange, something's not right!" Huan Yue exclaimed.

"Hmm." Ling Ziqian naturally found it extremely strange as well.

Ling Ziqian reached out and shook Xu Ya. But she didn't react.

Ling Ziqian listened carefully. He heard Xu Ya breathing evenly; she was asleep, and sleeping soundly!

Are you kidding me? I actually fell asleep like that!

Ling Ziqian couldn't understand what Xu Ya was thinking. She actually came to his room, lay down next to him, and fell asleep!

"Hey, Sister Xu Ya!" Ling Ziqian shook her violently.

However, Xu Ya was fast asleep and showed no reaction whatsoever.

Ling Ziqian turned Xu Ya over and patted her cheek, but she still didn't react.

Weird!

Ling Ziqian pondered what was going on.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door, and Shen Qiaoyan's voice came through. "Master, are you awake?"

"You're awake," Ling Ziqian replied, and went to open the door.

“Hehe, Master…” Shen Qiaoyan jumped into the room lively. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed Xu Ya on the bed.

Shen Qiaoyan looked like she had seen a ghost; she never expected Ling Ziqian to be that kind of person.

Ling Ziqian's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized that he shouldn't have opened the door for Shen Qiaoyan; this misunderstanding was huge!

"You, you wouldn't..." Shen Qiaoyan found it hard to believe.

But the facts were undeniable. She looked at Ling Ziqian in horror, "We only met this morning, it's only been a day, and you two actually..."

"No, that's not it, don't overthink it!" Ling Ziqian explained awkwardly, "I just woke up, I didn't expect her to be lying next to me..."

"Are you saying that Sister Xu Ya seduced you?"

"..." Ling Ziqian was utterly speechless. "What seduction? I just woke up and found her fast asleep next to me!"

Shen Qiaoyan sensed something was wrong; they were talking so loudly, but Xu Ya wasn't reacting.

She went over and shook Xu Ya, trying to wake her up.

However, Xu Ya showed no reaction whatsoever. If she weren't still breathing, she would be no different from being dead!

"Did you drug Sister Xu Ya? She's fast asleep and I can't wake her up!" Shen Qiaoyan questioned Ling Ziqian.

"Drugs?" Ling Ziqian's heart skipped a beat, and a flash of inspiration also appeared!

No way!

"That's probably it!" Huan Yue's voice became tense.

"What happened?" Ling Ziqian stepped forward and picked Xu Ya up in his arms.

"Where are you taking her?" Shen Qiaoyan shouted in terror, convinced that Ling Ziqian had done something wrong.

"Quickly turn on the bathtub faucet, I'll carry her over!"

"Why...?"

"problem occurs!"

Shen Qiaoyan didn't know what had happened, but seeing that Ling Ziqian's expression was very bad, she quickly went into the bathroom.

Ling Ziqian glanced at his silver watch. He had spent some time with Shen Qiaoyan, collecting 21 points of flirtation value.

Worried that Shen Qiaoyan would misunderstand him even more, Ling Ziqian didn't rush to use his flirting points, but instead carried Xu Ya into the bathroom.

There was already some water in the bathtub, and Ling Ziqian put Xu Ya in it directly.

The weather was a bit chilly, and Shen Qiaoyan had turned on the cold water.

Immersed in cold water, Xu Ya, who was fast asleep, shivered and instinctively curled up into a ball.

Ling Ziqian took the showerhead off and sprayed it on Xu Ya's cheek.

Xu Ya choked on the water and coughed. She tried to open her eyes, but they seemed to be glued shut, and she couldn't open them. Her expression was extremely painful!

Shen Qiaoyan was extremely anxious, "What exactly happened?"

"I suspect she was drugged!" Ling Ziqian replied coldly.

"Who drugged Xu Ya? Wasn't it you?" Shen Qiaoyan still believed that Ling Ziqian had done something to Xu Ya.

"If it were me, would I open the door for you?"

Ling Ziqian asked a question in return, and Shen Qiaoyan was immediately stunned.

If Ling Ziqian had done something to Xu Ya, he would definitely have kept it a secret, instead of opening the door as soon as she knocked.

"Master, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Shen Qiaoyan apologized awkwardly.

"It's good to know it was a misunderstanding!" Ling Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he reached out and gently touched Xu Ya.

After consuming ten points of ambiguity, Xu Ya was finally able to open her eyes and wake up.

"Cough cough..." Water entered her trachea, and she coughed violently.

"Sister Xu Ya, how are you? Have you woken up?" Shen Qiaoyan waved anxiously in front of Xu Ya.

Ling Ziqian put away the showerhead and pulled Xu Ya out of the bathtub.

Xu Ya, dressed in a business suit, was soaking wet and looked extremely disheveled. (Zhen Ya Cha Ba.)

She was still a little dizzy, so she shook her head, trying to clear her head.

"Take Sister Xu Ya to change her clothes, so she doesn't catch a cold," Ling Ziqian said to Shen Qiaoyan.

"Mmm." Shen Qiaoyan pulled the still somewhat dazed Xu Ya away and entered the next room.

Ling Ziqian picked up Xu Ya's bag, and a room key fell out.

Xu Ya booked the room. She could ask for a new room key at the hotel reception at any time and then enter the room.

But what exactly happened that she was drugged?

Ling Ziqian didn't have Huo Nan's number, and Xu Ya's phone was locked, so he couldn't ask Huo Nan what had happened.

Huan Yue suddenly spoke up, "By the way, you had a seafood feast at noon and then had free time. Have you forgotten the purpose of your trip to Tianhai City?"

Ling Ziqian's heart skipped a beat.

Fireman was kidnapped in the morning. After he was rescued and his personal seal was stolen, the contract was successfully signed.

He thought to himself that once he signed the contract, there would be no danger!

However, the signed contract could bankrupt a company, so how could the other party let it go?

We and Shen Qiaoyan were too careless, and so was Xu Ya, who thought there was no danger!

Realizing this, Ling Ziqian left the room and waited at the door of Shen Qiaoyan's room.

Not long after, the door opened and Xu Ya came out.

She changed into one of Shen Qiaoyan's tracksuits, which was a bit short, but it fit her perfectly.

She was fully awake and, upon seeing Ling Ziqian, she was extremely nervous. "Ziqian, something might have happened to Xiaonan. I can't get through to him on the phone!"

Just as I thought!

"Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?" Ling Ziqian frowned. He was at fault for things turning out this way.

"I was busy at the company this afternoon. Xiao Nan should have been at the villa, but he should have come back." Xu Ya nervously recounted what happened. "But he didn't come back when it was almost time to leave work. I called him, but I couldn't get through!"

Ling Ziqian nodded. "And then what about you? How did you end up in my room and lie down?"

Xu Ya shook her head. "I don't know. I realized that Xiao Nan might have had an accident, so I wanted to come and tell you. I rushed to the hotel, got a room key at the front desk, and went into your room. Then I felt dizzy and woke up in the bathtub."

Shen Qiaoyan also came out of the room. "Sister Xu Ya, have you eaten or drunk anything?"

Xu Ya thought about it carefully, "I have had tea in the company office."

Ling Ziqian and Shen Qiaoyan exchanged a glance and said with certainty, "There's definitely something wrong with the tea you drank; someone drugged it!"

"Is there a mole in the company?" Xu Ya was quite frightened.

“Definitely!” Ling Ziqian nodded. “We can’t contact Huo Nan right now, so he’s probably in trouble. There’s definitely a mole in the company who’s in cahoots with those people. If we find the mole, we can find Huo Nan!”

Xu Ya was surprised by how things turned out. She nodded and gestured for Ling Ziqian and Shen Qiaoyan to follow her.

She left the hotel with a dark expression, drove her car, and headed towards the company!
