Chapter 157: A Life-Saving Grace
Fang Mo’er had no interest in participating in speculative cases.
The reason she could recognize the kidnapper was entirely due to her actor’s instinct.
In the end, Fang Mo’er chose a charity event that had invited her to sing.
This charity event would be the biggest one among the most recent events to be held. Celebrities from all walks of life would be invited to participate, and the products that would be auctioned off would be the most collectable.
Therefore, many celebrities were willing to participate in this event. Not only would they be able to gain a good reputation, but they would also be able to find something satisfactory for themselves.
They would be killing two birds with one stone.
However, the number of places for the charity event was limited. Ordinary people would not be able to enter at all.
The organizers had actually invited the Veiled Queen to sing the theme song, which could also improve the Veiled Queen’s reputation even further.
Ordinary singers would not be able to attend even if they wanted to.
If it had not been for the Veiled Queen’s good deed being on the hot searches today, it would have been impossible to push the Veiled Queen into such an event.
At night, at a neon-lit commercial building.
Luxury cars were parked one after another in the parking lot.
Many reporters were outside the main entrance reporting on this grand event.
The people who were in attendance were all business tycoons or socialites.
One by one, luxury cars stopped at the entrance of the building.
Everyone who got out of the car and entered the building was someone who was extremely powerful within their own industries.
Here, everyone was humble and polite because there were always people who were richer than you.
When the Veiled Queen got out of the car, the reporters were dumbfounded.
Wasn’t it said that only socialites could participate?
Why was the Veiled Queen here too?
When Fang Mo’er got out of the car, she could feel the reporters frantically snapping photos of her.
“The Veiled Queen, may I know which family you’re representing today?”
“Will your true identity be announced today?”
The reporters were extremely excited. They had originally thought that the Veiled Queen had a very noble temperament. She had to be the daughter of a wealthy family.
Now, it was finally time to confirm their guesses.
Fang Mo’er held the hem of the dress in one hand and the invitation letter in the other. She smiled at the reporters and said, “I’m here to sing the opening song on behalf of our company.”
While the reporters were stunned into silence, Fang Mo’er gracefully walked inside.
The reporters outside snapped back to their senses and quickly reported on the incident. The Veiled Queen had been invited by the charity event organizers and was the only female celebrity present.
This honor made the Veiled Queen even more dazzling.
Fang Mo’er walked towards the VIP elevator under the guidance of the staff.
At the entrance of the elevator, a fashionably dressed lady was also waiting.
“The banquet is being held on the 28th floor.” After the staff member finished speaking, they left.
Only then did Fang Mo’er realize that the person standing beside her was Shi Mo’s foster mother, Wu Ling.
Wu Ling glanced at her and frowned before taking two steps back.
She had always disliked celebrities in the entertainment industry. She always felt that the entertainment industry was not clean and that the celebrities there were not as noble and elegant as the daughters of the rich and famous.
Just by looking at Fang Mo’er’s scheming within the entertainment industry, one could tell that there were all kinds of conflicts and infighting. It was simply a mess.
When Fang Mo’er saw the other party’s disgusted expression, she did not go over to greet her and pretended that she had not seen her.
Since she was wearing a veil and different makeup, the other lady could not recognize her at all.
The elevator door opened and the two people walked in one after the other.
One stood on the far left while the other stood on the far right.
Wu Ling held onto a diamond-studded branded bag with both hands and raised her chin.
Fang Mo’er pressed the button for the 28th floor and chose to remain silent.
When the elevator reached the 20th floor, Fang Mo’er suddenly let out a gasp of surprise.
Looking at the floor number that was displayed, Fang Mo’er saw that from the 20th floor, the numbers had started to retreat rapidly.
19,18,17…
Even Fang Mo’er and Wu Ling, who were standing in the elevator, could clearly feel a sense of discomfort. They could even hear the sounds of friction.
Wu Ling was so frightened that her face turned pale. She pressed on the handrail and asked, “What’s going on? Quick, call for help.”
Fang Mo’er frowned. “It’s too late.”
The elevator was falling too quickly. By the time they called for help, they would have already fallen to the last floor.
In a flash, Fang Mo’er took a step forward and quickly pressed on the lighted buttons to the other floors.
All of a sudden, the lift suddenly stopped at the 10th floor and the door opened.
Fang Mo’er was about to run out when she saw Wu Ling’s pale face. She was so scared that she could not even bring herself to walk anymore.
“Quick, help pull me out!” Wu Ling said in a trembling voice.
Fang Mo’er turned back and pulled Wu Ling out of the elevator.
The elevator door closed again.
Following that, she heard the sound of the elevator descending rapidly again.
9, 8, 7…
Finally, when it reached the first floor of the basement, there was a loud crash.
The elevator had crashed!
Fang Mo’er looked in the direction of the elevator door with lingering fear.
If she had been in it a little longer, she would have crashed along with the elevator.
