Chapter 325: Seal Off the Top Floor

Huang Yue had invested considerable effort into her plans, meticulously preparing two options.
Her primary strategy involved tampering with the wine. Just a small amount of the drug would suffice to render Wen Nian unconscious temporarily.
As a backup, she arranged for two individuals with a pending case. She also bribed the second-floor security guard at Chuan Liu Clubhouse, persuading him to momentarily disable the surveillance cameras. As long as Wen Nian could be taken to Director Wu’s location, Director Wu will handle everything.
Furthermore, Huang Yue had done her homework. She discovered that Director Wu and the owner of Chuan Liu Clubhouse shared a close friendship. In the event the other party failed to produce the surveillance footage, Shen Jun’s attempts to pursue the matter would be futile. Besides, Wen Nian’s reputation would be tarnished by an older man – why would Shen Jun still desire her?”
As Huang Yue contemplated Wen Nian’s abandonment by Shen Jun, who was ensnared by Director Wu for the entire night, perhaps even filmed, a sense of relief washed over her.
Swiftly, she retrieved her phone and dialed Director Wu’s number. He assured her that preparations were in place in the private room on the top floor of Chuan Liu Clubhouse. All that remained was for Huang Yue to make her appearance on the set tomorrow. With a satisfied smile, Huang Yue ended the call.
Now, her attention shifted to Shen Jun. She knew that if Wen Nian remained unreachable, Shen Jun would undoubtedly return to search for her. When that moment came, Huang Yue would seize the opportunity to engage with Shen Jun, perhaps even conjuring a pretext to lead him to Wen Nian.”
“Huang Yue couldn’t help but feel a twinge of excitement at the prospect of Shen Jun witnessing Wen Nian in such a compromising situation.
Shen Jun was initially going back to join Wen Nian, but the moment he left the private room, he was intercepted by Xue Jiang.
“Are you kidding me? You invited me out and didn’t show up on time? Get a move on; we’ve all been waiting anxiously.”
Given Shen Jun’s newfound dedication to his studies, his presence at a gathering was a rare occurrence. When hen Lin Yang and Jiang Zhen found out that he had contacted Xue Jiang, they came by as well.
Shen Jun followed Xue Jiang reluctantly and sent Wen Nian a WeChat message, urging her to join them in the private room as soon as possible.”
Upon entering the private room, Shen Jun was surprised not only to find Lin Yang and the others but also to see Zhang Lin.
Their encounter was marked by a touch of awkwardness, but Shen Jun’s thoughts were preoccupied with Wen Nian, and he had no intention of creating a scene with Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin, who had recently entered into a business deal with Xue Jiang, had come to pay his respects upon learning of Xue Jiang’s presence at the gathering. He certainly hadn’t expected to encounter his adversary.
Feeling somewhat disinterested, Zhang Lin contemplated finding an excuse to excuse himself when the door to the private room swung open suddenly.
She looked flustered and her face was a little red. She kept gesturing in front of Zhang Lin, and the others were stunned.
Xue Jiang whispered to Shen Jun, “This is Zhang Lin’s mute cousin. He cares deeply for her.”
No one else in the room understood sign language except Zhang Lin. He inquired, “Did you get a clear view? Which floor did they go to?”
The girl continued to gesture.
Zhang Lin patted her shoulder to reassure her, but the girl was still anxious.
With a sigh, Zhang Lin turned to Xue Jiang. “It appears my cousin saw someone she knows. She’s just a young girl and was taken to the top floor by two men. Young Master Xue, could you arrange for the club to check the surveillance footage?”
The girl nodded vigorously. She then retrieved her phone, rapidly typed a message, and handed it to Xue Jiang.
“I think she’s unconscious. 1 saw the elevator go up to the top floor. She was wearing an off-white coat, black jeans, and had her hair in a ponytail,” the girl signed urgently.
Xue Jiang found himself in a challenging situation. Chuan Liu Clubhouse hosted a diverse clientele, and it wasn’t uncommon for wealthy individuals to seek the company of young girls. The club was cautious not to intrude on its guests’ private matters.
Moreover, most of the patrons on the top floor had close ties to the Xue family, often visiting the club due to these connections. Security was tight, ensuring that no sensitive information leaked.
Xue Jiang hesitated, considering whether he should intervene. However, Shen Jun snatched the girl’s phone from her hand. “You mentioned she’s unconscious?”
Shen Jun quickly scanned the contents of the message. The girl’s description matched Wen Nian’s attire today. Wen Nian hadn’t responded to his messages, and she hadn’t shown up…
As the girl nodded vigorously, a sense of foreboding washed over Shen Jun. He dialed Wen Nian’s number frantically, but there was no answer.
“Xue Jiang, gather some people and come with me to the top floor. Seal off the entire area. Not a single soul should slip away!” Shen Jun ordered, his tone laced with urgency.
Without waiting for Xue Jiang’s response, Shen Jun dashed out of the room. The girl was the next to react, swiftly grabbing a wine bottle from the table.
“Weng Ling? Where are you going?” Zhang Lin was taken aback but instinctively followed her lead, grabbing a wine bottle as well..
