Chapter 336 - 336 Culprit
336 Culprit
Shen Ruojing was in the midst of searching the rooms too.
Every time she entered a room, she would indeed shock the people within.
An actress was currently changing in the room that she searched. After Shen Ruojing opened and took a glance around, she immediately closed the door and started to search the next room.
Feeling extremely angry, after the actress changed, she immediately rushed out and started scolding Shen Ruojing.
Also, at the entrance, there were reporters waiting to record the specific citation tonight.
Bai Shanshan suddenly disappeared when it was her turn to perform on the stage. Such irresponsible behavior became the headlines today, and everyone was waiting to report this.
Hence, after the reporters saw Shen Ruojing and Chu Cimo’s actions, they immediately crowded around and started taking pictures as they wanted to report the latest news online.
“BaiShanShan’sManagerMakingTroubleOnTheScene#, #BaiShanShanFled#, etc. All these headlines went on trending and unhappy voices started appearing online.
——Their own artist ran away, but Bai Shanshan’s company is making trouble?
——How shameless! They even barged in to search for people. They truly have no regard for the charity banquet.
——This is too lawless!
…
As the comments flooded the web, out of everyone’s expectation, Chu Cimo suddenly ran out with Bai Shanshan in his arms!
Chu Cimo’s heart leaped to his throat.
Ever since he knew Bai Shanshan had gone missing, he immediately rushed here and assumed the worst.
After he arrived, he immediately scanned the building as he was afraid he might miss out on a hidden chamber of sorts and might not be able to find his wife.
As the Rooftop Gentleman, he was the most proficient in things like this.
He had thought of places where secret hidden rooms might be, but he had never expected that in one of the rooms in the east wing, he actually found Bai Shanshan there.
He didn’t have time to inspect each room carefully, hence, he merely took a peep every time he passed a room and would leave once he was sure that there was no one within.
When he was walking by the easternmost room, he saw that the windows of the room were open, and the tattered curtains were swaying in the wind. When he glanced through the window, the entire place looked empty.
He almost walked away.
However, he paused his steps for some reason and decided to kick the door open. After that, he saw Bai Shanshan who had fallen down near the entrance!
She was curled up completely and had fainted.
She was wearing a white-colored silk dress, and there was a layer of frost on her face and between her eyebrows. Her lips were purplish from the cold, and her face was completely pale.
That scene caused his heart to pound rapidly in fear.
He didn’t know medicine, but he faintly remembered his sister-in-law knew something about it. Hence, he didn’t say anything, directly carried Bai Shanshan, and rushed out!
When he carried Bai Shanshan, he discovered that her body had stiffened and it felt like frozen meat!
Shen Ruojing heard his pleading voice and swiftly rushed back from the opposite direction. The two of them finally gathered at the great hall!
Shen Ruojing didn’t hesitate to take her pulse, but she discovered that Bai Shanshan’s pulse was already extremely weak as she had lost all her body temperature. Shen Ruojing then quickly took out a heart protecting pill and stuffed it into Bai Shanshan’s mouth. This pill could protect her heart. After that, she swiftly held her hands and spoke to Chu Cimo, “Start rubbing! Make sure her hands and legs are warm!”
Chu Cimo didn’t say anything and immediately grabbed Bai Shanshan’s ice-cold legs!
Her fair leg looked like a block of ice in his large palms, and this scene caused his entire body to shudder. However, he didn’t dare to waste time asking questions. After rubbing his palms to make sure they were warm, he started rubbing her legs.
But after rubbing for a while and not seeing any effect, Chu Cimo directly removed his clothes and wrapped Bai Shanshan’s leg with them!
Shen Ruojing was helping Bai Shanshan to warm her body. When she saw Chu Cimo’s action, her lips twitched. “Rubbing is the quickest way.”
Only then did Chu Cimo take her leg out again and continue to rub.
The assistant and Shen Qianhui also rushed over to help. The few of them were rubbing Bai Shanshan’s limbs rapidly, and twenty minutes later, Bai Shanshan finally regained some temperature in her body…
Shen Ruojing inspected Bai Shanshan again. After ascertaining that the heart protecting pill was useful, and Bai Shanshan was out of danger, she then heaved a sigh of relief.
She looked at Chu Cimo and said three words, “She’s fine now.”
These words caused the others who were rubbing Bai Shanshan’s limbs to heave a sigh of relief.
Shen Qianhui’s arms were almost sore from rubbing.
She stood up and stared into the eyes of the astonished director. The moment she glanced over, the director came to his senses and spoke weakly, “What’s going on? Why is Bai Shanshan still here? What exactly happened?”
When Chu Cimo heard this, he abruptly lifted his head. His red eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone as he stared at the director. “When I found her, she was locked in the easternmost old, abandoned room! The windows have no glass and there is an iron lock!”
Shen Ruojing added, “If she was discovered ten minutes later, even immortals wouldn’t be able to save her.”
The director gulped down his saliva. “B…but why would she be there?”
“You have to ask your staff then!” Shen Qianhui was steaming with anger. “Also, the door was locked from the outside. Someone must have brought Shanshan to that room and locked her in!”
The director subconsciously wanted to deny it in order to shirk responsibility.
But after he saw Bai Shanshan, who was lying on the ground and on the verge of death, he wasn’t able to utter such words. He directly changed his tone. “What do you guys want to investigate? I will cooperate fully!”
Shen Qianhui immediately spoke, “Check the CCTVs! I want to see the one who brought Shanshan there!”
Although there were many places with no cameras…
The footage of the scene, where Bai Shanshan was called to follow a staff and their journey to this locked room, would surely be captured by some of the installed cameras.
“Okay, I’ll immediately get someone to check!” The director didn’t waste time and immediately got someone to go to the surveillance room.
Shen Wanying, who was kicked by Shen Ruojing, was still arrogantly telling the guards to throw these people out. However, she didn’t expect they had found Bai Shanshan so quickly and even managed to save her. Now, they wanted to investigate further?
She clenched her fingers while a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
That ‘staff’ was naturally her butler!
Because the fewer who knew about this, the better. So, Shen Wanying got her butler to do it personally. She understood that things might not be that safe even if she bribed the staff here.
If they checked the surveillance footage…
Just when she was thinking, she saw the staff member from the surveillance room running over. “Director, I don’t know what happened, but the footage of when Bai Shanshan went missing has been deleted!”
Once she heard this, Shen Wanying heaved a sigh of relief.
Luckily, it was done in time.
Since her butler had personally acted, he would naturally ensure that the footage was destroyed. If not, he would be caught for sure.
The butler had made the preparations long ago.
But at this moment, Shen Wanying suddenly heard a clear voice ringing out. “Is that so? I’ve found someone to restore the footage.”
Shen Wanying quickly turned her head and saw Shen Ruojing waving the mobile phone in her hand.
