In the lounge, Ji Yan sat comfortably on the sofa, with Fu Jingyan, Lu Nanxu, Helian Minxiao and others sitting around her. The light in the room was soft, and the air was filled with a faint scent of tea.

Lu Nanxu looked at Ji Yan with concern and asked softly, "Yan Yan, are you hungry? Do you want me to send some snacks and drinks up?"

Ji Yan raised her head with a smile, her eyes gleaming with anticipation: "Okay, I'm a little thirsty."

Lu Nanxu nodded and signaled to the waiter next to him. After a while, someone came in with a tray filled with various snacks and drinks.

Ji Yan's eyes fell on a glass of bright-colored juice. Just as she was about to reach out to take it, a waitress came over carefully with the juice.

"Miss Ji, please enjoy your meal." The waitress said with a smile and handed the juice to Ji Yan.

However, at this moment, an accident happened. The waitress's hand slipped, the juice cup tilted, and the bright juice instantly splashed out, staining Ji Yan's skirt.

"Ah!" Ji Yan exclaimed, stood up, looked at the hem of her skirt stained with juice, an expression of astonishment on her face.

Helian Minxiao frowned immediately upon seeing this and asked angrily, "What's wrong with you, waiter? Why are you so careless!"

The atmosphere in the lounge suddenly became tense. The waitress turned pale with fear and quickly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."

At this time, the manager nearby also hurried over, apologizing to Ji Yan and others while scolding the waitress.

Ji Yan looked at the scene in front of her, and although she was a little unhappy, she quickly calmed down. She looked at the trembling back of the waitress and said softly, "It's okay, don't blame her, it's just a little dirty on the skirt, I'll go to the bathroom to deal with it."

When the waitress heard Ji Yan's words, she looked up gratefully, tears glistening in her eyes.

Fu Jingyan also nodded and said to Ji Yan, "Go, be careful."

Ji Yan nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the bathroom. Her back looked elegant and calm under the light, as if a small accident could not affect her mood.

The restroom was located at the end of the corridor outside the banquet hall, like a secret castle, hiding Ji Yan's panic at the moment. She had just withdrawn from a chaotic banquet, closed the door, and isolated herself from the noisy world.

There was a sign outside the restroom that said: Cleaning in progress, please go to another floor. But Ji Yan didn't have time to find another restroom, she needed to get ready as soon as possible.

She stared at the person in the mirror, smoothed her hair, and lowered her head to tidy up the stains on her clothes. She was a beauty-loving woman, always accustomed to stop in front of the mirror and admire her face that was like delicate porcelain. However, today, there was no smile on her face, but a trace of imperceptible worry instead.

Suddenly, a slight hissing sound was heard, and Ji Yan's heart skipped a beat. She looked back, but saw no one. Ji Yan frowned, as if she had noticed something. She picked up her handbag and walked quickly towards the door.

Just as her slender hand touched the handle, she was suddenly pulled back by a force behind her. A handkerchief mixed with a pungent smell covered her nose from behind, and her body, which had been struggling violently, instantly lay quietly in the arms of the person behind her like a doll.

Ji Yan screamed in fear, but her voice was drowned out by the pungent smell. She tried to struggle, but her body seemed to be bound by invisible shackles and could not move.

She could only watch the man as he took out a miniature syringe from his bag. Liquid like blood flowed in the transparent syringe, which was dangerous and beautiful.

The man looked at the person in the mirror who was pale but pretending to be calm, his eyes filled with fear and anger as he glared at himself. He sneered and said, "Oh, you are indeed a soul-sucking vixen. I almost fell for you. But don't worry, I will comfort you in a while."

The man's words were like a cold blade, cutting through Ji Yan's last line of defense. She felt her heartbeat speed up, and sweat dripped from her forehead. Who was that man? What did he want to do?

The hair-thin needle slowly inserted into her arm, and with a gentle push, the unknown cold liquid slowly injected into her body. Ji Yan couldn't help but shudder, and a strong sense of helplessness surged in her heart. She felt her consciousness begin to blur, and the scene in front of her began to become blurry.

"I'm just one step away from leaving this place, but Aqian, Minxiao, Axu... where are you?" Ji Yan shouted in her heart, but no one could hear her voice.

The man looked at his watch and it was almost time. He smiled and whispered in Ji Yan's ear, "It's almost time. Let's go, bad girl."

After that, he helped Ji Yan stand up and walked out of the bathroom. Ji Yan's body seemed to have lost control and she could only let him do whatever he wanted. She looked at the sign that said "Cleaning, please go to another floor" and her heart was filled with despair. She knew she was in crisis, but she was powerless.

They walked out of the corridor and disappeared into the hustle and bustle of the banquet hall. Ji Yan's vision began to blur. She could only hear the man's whisper and the sound of her own heartbeat. She didn't know where she would be taken or what her future would be like. But at this dangerous moment, she could only hope that those she trusted could find her and save her from danger.
