Chapter 472: Investigation

“What’s wrong?” Gu Shaoting asked, seeing her covering her face, thinking there might be something else bothering her, and quickly approached her.

Shu Pan looked up, stunned. She saw numerous scratch marks on Gu Shaoting’s body, knowing instantly whose handiwork it was. Shu Pan felt like banging her head against the wall.

“I have a headache…” Shu Pan pouted.

“That’s normal, considering the drugs, ” Gu Shaoting said sympathetically.

“Yeah…” Shu Pan’s gaze was somewhat dazed.

“What happened exactly?” Gu Shaoting furrowed his brows, puzzled. Shu Pan was naive; apart from knowing Huanhuan, she was unfamiliar with such settings and unlikely to accept drinks from strangers.

“I don’t know exactly. A waiter came to me and said Huanhuan was looking for me. I left for a moment, then returned to the lounge. Feeling thirsty, I saw the champagne I had just been drinking on the table, so I took a few sips, had some snacks, and then started feeling dizzy and hot,” Shu Pan slowly recalled the events of last night.

She also wanted to figure out what had happened. Did she accidentally drink something, or was she deliberately drugged?

“Did you meet anyone at the banquet? Talk to anyone?” Gu Shaoting inquired.

“Yeah, I talked to Tong Fei,” Shu Pan replied, stealing a glance at Gu Shaoting’s expression, knowing that Tong Fei was once his fiancée.

Gu Shaoting frowned deeply upon hearing this.

Why was she still in Bin City? Didn’t he warn her last time to develop her career abroad?

If Shu Pan hadn’t mentioned it now, he would have forgotten about this person.

It seemed he needed to have He Ming investigate the matter. What exactly had happened?

If it turned out to be her doing, then she shouldn’t blame him for not showing mercy.

After all, he had given her a chance based on their past relationship.

Now they were strangers, so there was no sentiment to be considered.

She’d better pray that it wasn’t her doing.

“Alright, I got it. I’ll look into it,” Gu Shaoting reassured, patting her head.

“Oops, where are we now? What about Joy?” Shu Pan finally snapped out of her daze.

“With your condition yesterday, I booked a hotel room. Joy is at home, don’t worry, He Ming is taking care of her,” Gu Shaoting comforted her, knowing that she was most concerned about Joy.

“That’s good,” Shu Pan nodded, feeling relieved.

“Your change of clothes is on the chair,” he gestured towards the prepared clothes arranged by the hotel staff.

Gu Shaoting lifted her from the bed, then settled her on his lap, his hand gently massaging her temples.

“What’s wrong?” Shu Pan hesitated.

Gu Shaoting remained silent, his gaze lowered as he moved his hand away from her temples, gently resting it on her abdomen, lost in thought.

It was only when she spoke that he snapped out of it, “Hungry?

“Yeah,” Shu Pan nodded. She had only eaten some snacks yesterday, and now her stomach was growling.

Feeling a bit uneasy under his stare, Shu Pan hastily got off his lap and went into the bathroom with her clothes.

Seeing her go in, Gu Shaoting took out his phone and dialed He Ming’s number.

“He Ming, sorry to bother you last night. Is Joy awake? We’re heading back now,” Gu Shaoting rubbed his forehead.

“She’s awake, ordered breakfast, and is eating. You guys come back and join us for breakfast,” He Ming replied, understanding that something had gone wrong, but he didn’t ask. Gu Shaoting would tell him..
