Chapter 254: Failed Plan

At the end of the banquet, Fang Yu raised his glass and smiled as he said a series of polite words. He already looked like a future big boss.
The others flattered him. Only Meng Hui had a cold expression and tried her best to stay awake.
Fang Yu did not mind. The people sitting here were all big shots from various families. Meng Hui was only kept there to prevent her from disrupting the plan. In fact, no one cared about Meng Hui’s condition.
Seeing that it was about time, Fang Yu sent all the guests off with a polite smile. When it was Meng Hui’s turn, he smiled and said, “Let’s go and see if your Little CEO Shi is sober, okay?”
Meng Hui’s heart was in her throat. She nodded in a daze and said, “Okay, but do you know which room CEO Shi is in?”
Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and a trace of nervousness flashed across his eyes. Then, he regained his calm smile right on the heels of that. “Look, I forgot. I’ll call my daughter now and ask her. Secretary Meng, please wait a moment.”
Meng Hui stood at a loss, her fingers subconsciously rubbing the hem of her clothes.
She followed Shi Man’s instructions to beat Fang Yu her own game. Even though she knew that Fang Yu was up to no good, she did not do anything.
Although she could not be sure that Ding Wei was sent by the Fang family, Ding Wei had probably already told the Fang family that she and Shi Man were not on good terms. Otherwise, they would not be so at ease with her tonight.
This was because they did not think that Meng Hui would be responsible for following Shi Man.
Fang Yu hung up quickly, but he was clearly in a bad mood. His brows were furrowed, and he looked like a different person from before.
Meng Hui felt a little more confident. She quietly put away her cell phone and smiled. “Have you asked?”
“I’ve asked.” Fang Yu’s expression was very bad, but he still forced himself to be calm. “Secretary Meng, follow me. CEO Shi is upstairs.”
The two of them walked into the elevator together. In just a few minutes, Fang Yu had already looked at his cell phone several times. When the elevator door opened, his expression was already terrifyingly dark.
The room Fang Han had arranged for Shi Man was at the innermost area. Even the lights in the corridor were much dimmer than elsewhere.
Meng Hui did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Fang Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the light. His expression was obviously not as nervous as before.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door like a gentleman. He was confident that it would be his daughter who opened the door. Unexpectedly, it was Shi Man who was sober, but she was a little sleepy.
Seeing that she was dressed well, Fang Yu suddenly had an ominous feeling. He hurriedly asked anxiously, “Where’s Hanhan? Isn’t she with you?”
Fang Yu was anxious. He didn’t even address her politely. His attitude was so disrespectful it was as though he was treating Shi Man like an ignorant child.
Shi Man did not care about his attitude. She blinked in confusion and looked at Fang Yu innocently. “Who is Hanhan? Why is she with me?”
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment before his eyes suddenly widened. He couldn’t help but emphasize, “My daughter, Fang Han! She’s from the same school as you. Don’t tell me you don’t know her!”
“So she’s your daughter!” Shi Man pretended to be surprised and smiled. “I didn’t see her. Didn’t I come to the Fang family’s banquet today? Why would I see Fang Han?”
Fang Yu choked and looked at her suspiciously, as if he was trying to determine if she really didn’t remember anything. Then, he frowned and looked at Meng Hui beside him. “Tell your CEO Shi what happened just now.”
Helpless, Meng Hui could only tell her about Fang Han sending her back to her room to rest. Then, she carefully glanced into the room and said, “You really don’t remember anything?”
Shi Man smiled innocently. “I’m sorry. I was drunk just now and really don’t remember anything. Why don’t you ask the front desk and see if she has left?”
Fang Yu hurriedly ran away, shouting that he wanted to see the surveillance cameras at the front desk.
He and his daughter had agreed to work together to mess with Shi Man today. Fang Han would not leave without saying goodbye. The only possibility was that something had happened to Fang Han!
Although Fang Yu valued his son more, this was his biological daughter after all. Moreover, she had suddenly disappeared at this juncture. Of course, he was more anxious than anyone else.
The staff at the front desk knew Fang Yu’s identity, so no one dared to be negligent. They hurriedly pulled up the surveillance cameras in the corridor. After adjusting the approximate time, the originally clear surveillance footage suddenly turned into snowflakes. When it was clear again, it was actually when Fang Yu had just arrived.
There was nothing he didn’t understand now. However, knowing who had tampered with it was one thing, whether he could tell anyone was another.
He was in the wrong first and had ulterior motives, so it was naturally not good for him to spread this matter. He could only suppress his anger and walk back to Shi Man’s room. He gritted his teeth and said, “Little CEO Shi, where did my daughter go?”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows in surprise. “1 said that I’ve never seen her.. Have you forgotten so quickly?”
