Chapter 19, People Are Afraid
The man was so close that the tips of his hair almost touched her ears, and the light, light mint scent of his body wrapped around the tip of her nose.
Shao Qing took a step back slightly.
She considered whether the man was joking with her, or if he was warning her not to tell her about tonight.
Shaoqing didn't want to be involved with this special department.
She only thought for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Since it is confidential, I naturally can't read it." β
She lowered her head slightly, her gaze swept lightly over the man lying on the ground, and she said, "I will not delay my husband's task." β
"I'll go back to the banquet first. β
Shao Qing raised his head slightly and winked at the masked man: "After all, it's just a bathroom, it's not good to delay too long." β
She said this, bowed slightly, turned and walked downstairs.
Shao Qing's fingertips were on the armrest, although she kept walking down, her steps were light and slow, and the whole person's attention was on her back, afraid that the person wearing the mask would suddenly stop her.
But she kept going around the corner, and the man didn't make a sound.
Shao Qing raised his eyelashes slightly, the corners of his lips curved a little, and his pace returned to his normal speed.
She had already explained that her pursuit was like going to the bathroom, and her attitude of helping to keep it secret had been very clear, and as long as the masked person was not deliberately making trouble, she would not be stopped again.
Shao Qing descended the stairs and raised his hand to push open the door of the safe passage.
It was still dark in the banquet hall, but the guests had clearly calmed down.
The screams were gone, only some rustling conversations, and the emergency lights had been turned on, but the light was not bright enough, and the hall was half-lit and half-dark.
The hall was left dark only because the crystal lamps exploded, and the circuit was not damaged.
The manager of the hotel had already hurried over, holding a microphone and hurriedly reassuring the guests present.
"It was our market value, and we didn't do a good job of safety checks, which caused the crystal lamp to shatter and frightened all the distinguished guests. β
The manager was sweating profusely.
In this hall, almost all of them are celebrities and wealthy businessmen in Shanghai, and he can't afford to offend any of them.
He quickly apologized, and announced the compensation plan that had been negotiated on the other hand: "We have vacated a new hall on the second floor, please take a moment's notice." β
"To compensate you for the shock, we will prepare a small gift for each guest. β
The manager was still apologizing, and Shao Qing walked in the shadows, took a detour, and walked back to the sofa where he had been sitting before.
Shao Ya and Lin Fenghe were still over there, but Shao Ya had changed from standing opposite Qin You to being next to Qin You.
This area is a bit remote, the light is not very good, Qin You's face is half covered in shadows, and he looks extremely cold and gloomy.
Shao Qing frowned slightly and walked over.
She walked two minutes closer before she heard Qin You's warning voice: "Don't get so close to me." β
Shao Ya lowered her head, her fingers tugged at Qin You's sleeves, her lips pursed, her eyelashes lowered, and her expression was frightened: "I'm afraid." β
She whimpered quietly: "The light exploded just now, and it almost blew me up!"
Shao Ya moved closer to Qin You's side again, and her voice choked: "I'm so afraid-"
Shao Qing stood in the shadows, looked at Shao Ya quietly for a while, and then chuckled: "My dear sister. β
She said slowly, "The crystal lamp is in the center of the hall, and here is the corner of the hallβ"
