C161 Sudden Accident

Everyone was dancing in the hall, a melodious tune, warm lights, and a harmonious scene.

Suddenly, the crystal chandeliers on the ceiling flickered a few times, and then the entire hall was enveloped in darkness.

The dancing men and women stopped dancing. The band also stopped playing. The entire hall was silent. Then, it started to clamor again.

"What the hell is going on?" Zheng Jinghao pulled Soong Shiyan and shouted to the manager of the venue. There was a trace of anger in his tone.

"To reply Young Master Zheng, we didn't expect such a thing to happen. We are really sorry — I think there's a problem with the circuit. We have already sent our professional staff to the power supply room to check and believe that the power supply will be restored soon." The manager standing in the corner heard this and answered loudly.

"All guests, please stand still and do not move about so as not to bump into each other. The electricity will be restored in a moment. Please do not worry." Zheng Jinghao shouted.

Hearing this, the rowdy crowd gradually quietened down. Everyone stood on the spot, waiting for the circuit to resume.

"Jing Sung, I'm really sorry. I never thought that a power outage would happen at a banquet." Zheng Jinghao said to Soong Shiyan in annoyance.

"It's nothing, it's just a power cut, it's not like it's a big deal. Furthermore, the power outage is not your fault, so why are you blaming yourself? " Soong Shiyan's voice was calm, but it was actually comforting Zheng Jinghao.

"Who?" A female voice broke the silence. It was rather sudden.

Hearing the commotion, there was a small commotion in the hall. Seeing that no one was talking, a short moment later, everything returned to silence.

After Soong Shiyan heard Yan Duoya's voice, the corner of her mouth curled up into a proud smile. It was just that no one could see her in the darkness.

Sure enough, in less than five minutes, the circuit had been restored and the hall was bright as day. The band continued to play, and the group continued to dance, as if they didn't care about the incident that had just occurred to them. The hall seemed to still be peaceful.

Yan Duoya had already seen the picture in her hand the moment the light flashed on. Her face turned pale. Before Yinn Haoming could regain his senses, she hurriedly stuffed the photo into her dress and hid it close to her.

"What's the matter with you?" Yinn Haoming asked in confusion when he saw Yan Duoya's pale face and trembling body.

"No, nothing." Yan Duoya saw Yinn Haoming staring at her with suspicion, so she forced a smile and said as if nothing had happened.

"Then …"

Yinn Haoming was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Yan Duoya. "I need to go to the washroom first."

After saying that, Yan Duoya turned around and walked to the side door of the hall with a hurried expression.

Her hand was holding onto her skirt, but if one looked carefully, they would notice that the hand she used to lift her skirt was trembling.

Yan Duoya and Yinn Haoming stood where they were and waited during the short time it took for the electricity to go off. She suddenly felt that someone had come to her side, and in the next moment, an object appeared in her hand. Panicking, she couldn't help but blurt out, "Who is it?" But no one answered her. When she came back to her senses, she realized that what she was holding in her hand seemed to be a photo.

Not long later, the electricity supply was restored. It was only then that Yan Duoya saw the contents of the photo, thanks to the crystal chandeliers hanging above her head. Her expression changed drastically.

In the background was a shabby, dirty house, a messy bed, a naked, lost woman, and six blind vagabonds. The woman in the photo was, of course, Yan Duoya herself.

Yan Duoya came back to her senses immediately and hurriedly crumpled the photo into a ball and stuffed it into her dress.

After walking away from Yinn Haoming, she looked around, carefully observing the surrounding people's every move. However, she didn't discover any suspicious people. Even Jing Sung, whom she suspected the most, was standing beside Zheng Jinghao. She had a calm expression and was talking to him with a smile on her face.

In a short moment, Yan Duoya fell into a state of intense fear. Panicking, she headed for the bathroom. In her panic, she twisted her foot, lost her balance, and threw herself onto the floor.

"Ah!" Yan Duoya cried out in surprise. If she were to fall down on this marble floor, she would definitely be injured.

In that split-second, a strong hand wrapped around Yan Duoya's waist.

Yan Duoya turned around and looked at the man in front of her. She was slightly surprised as she stammered, "H-Second Young Master Huo?"

Yan Duoya felt a scorching heat around her waist as she was hugged by Huo Mingyang's strong and sturdy arms, causing her face to turn slightly red. Even her breathing was somewhat hot.

"Miss Soong? Be careful when you walk! If I didn't hold you back in time, you'd be dead tonight. " Huo Mingyang helped Yan Duoya to stand steadily before withdrawing his hand and said to her with a humble and courteous smile.0

With that, Huo Mingyang walked towards the balcony slowly with a cigarette in his mouth.

Yan Duoya looked at Huo Mingyang's back and a ray of light lit up in her eyes. Then, she leisurely walked towards the bathroom.

As soon as Yan Duoya entered the washroom, she lifted her head and saw a mirror. Seeing this, her expression turned uglier and uglier.

Under the orange light, someone had written a huge "312" on the mirror with lipstick. On the sink, there was a stack of photos. 312, it was the room number that Yan Duoya had used in the shabby hotel. And the photos? Yan Duoya's heart couldn't help but sink.

She quickly turned around, locked the bathroom door, and hurried over to pick up the stack of photos.

Yan Duoya's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as the veins on the back of her hands bulged. She was so angry that her entire body trembled. Annoyed, she tore the photo in her hand to shreds, then reached out and frantically wiped the numbers off the mirror.

Who is it? Who was it? Just who was behind her? If she found out, she would definitely make this person die a horrible death!

Yan Duoya put her hands on the sink, closed her eyes, and started thinking.

The security for Zheng Jinghao's birthday party was very tight. Anyone who could enter this hotel had to hold the invitation letter that he sent out personally. Of course, people with high status like Xue Zhaowu and Huo Mingyang only needed to swipe their face cards.

It seemed that not only did the person behind the scenes know that he would be attending Zheng Jinghao's birthday banquet, the person behind the scenes would also be there. Most importantly, this person must have other accomplices who were secretly helping.

The power outage just now should have been done by them. They were here to stuff the photo into their hands and to come to the washroom to do all this in advance. Perhaps the person behind the scenes was laughing in his heart as he looked at his panicked expression.

With that in mind, Yan Duoya carefully searched the bathroom for a pinhole camera. However, after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find anything suspicious, so she could only give up and continue to ponder in her heart.
