Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan returned home, only to find He Ming coaxing Joy, who was upset because she woke up and didn’t see Daddy and Mommy around.
“Daddy, Mommy, where did you go? Why didn’t you take me?” Joy burst into tears.
“Sweetheart, we had some work to attend to, it’s adult stuff,” Shu Pan crouched in front of Joy, patting her head.
Joy sniffled, looking quite forlorn.
“Next time, you have to take me with you wherever you go,” Joy pouted, bargaining.
“Alright,” Shu Pan chuckled at Joy’s tearful smile, gently tapping her little nose.
“Come on, let’s have breakfast before it gets cold,” He Ming reminded them. “Okay, sorry for the trouble,” Shu Pan apologized to He Ming as she stood up.
“Don’t be silly,” He Ming smiled faintly.
Shu Pan led Joy to the dining table, while Gu Shaoting exchanged a glance with He Ming.
He Ming followed him to the balcony, sensing that something serious had happened since they didn’t return home last night.
“Brother Ting, what happened?” It must be something significant for them not to come back last night.
“Ting, have someone check the surveillance footage from Binjiang Hotel’s banquet yesterday, see who drugged Shu Pan,” Gu Shaoting’s tone was stern, sending a shiver down He Ming’s spine.
“Drugged?” He Ming was stunned. Who dared to take such a risk? Are they out of their minds?
It’s no wonder Gu Shaoting was so angry. If anyone dared to treat Xiaomeng like this, he would probably tear them apart.
“Yeah, drugged with aphrodisiacs. It feels intentional, because Shu Pan said she only left for a while, came back, drank that glass of champagne, and then things went downhill,” Gu Shaoting said fiercely. It was truly despicable.
“Alright, I’ll have someone look into it,” He Ming nodded.
“Also, find out who harassed Shu Pan. When we arrived, she seemed disheveled.”
“No problem, I’ll get back to you as soon as possible,” He Ming understood Gu Shaoting’s mood.
After He Ming left, Shu Pan took a day off to rest at home.
In the afternoon, Gu Huanhuan suddenly visited.
“Sis, how are you feeling?” Gu Huanhuan felt guilty for not being able to sleep well last night. She had wanted to visit Shu Pan in the morning, but her brother said Shu Pan was still asleep, so she rushed over as soon as she found out she was awake in the afternoon.
“I’m fine, don’t worry,” Shu Pan smiled softly, knowing Gu Huanhuan was blaming herself. In reality, it wasn’t Gu Huanhuan’s fault. If someone really wanted to harm her, it would have been unavoidable, just a matter of time.
Gu Huanhuan’s eyes were a bit red; she must have been quite frightened by last night’s events.
Seeing that Shu Pan was okay, she felt a bit relieved. She wouldn’t dare to be so careless in the future.
Gu Shaoting had already scolded her thoroughly, but this time Gu Huanhuan didn’t argue back. It was indeed her fault this time. If she had stayed by Shu Pan’s side, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened.
Because she still had other commitments, Gu Huanhuan left after seeing that Shu Pan was okay.
Around 5 0’clock, Gu Shaoting came home. He had to rush back to the office at noon because of an urgent matter.
“Back already? Huanhuan just left,” Shu Pan was tidying up the coffee table.
“That girl dares to come again? Stay away from her in the future,” Gu Shaoting was now extremely cautious.
“It was an accident this time, don’t blame her,” Shu Pan persuaded. No one could have expected such a thing to happen. It was a lesson for herself to be more vigilant in the future.
Just as Gu Shaoting sat down, his phone rang.. He glanced at it and immediately answered, “Do you have any updates?”
