Chapter 405: Can’t Let Go

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This night was far from peaceful for the Song family. They had anticipated gaining more attention through the banquet, only to be faced with such a scandal.

The disappearance of Meng Xia further infuriated Song Yi.

“What did you say? She’s gone?” Song Yi tightly grasped Meng Yu’s wrist, staring at her with a fierce gaze. He refused to believe that Meng Xia would run away, especially in A city, right under the eyes of the Song family. However, the people he had sent out hadn’t found Meng Xia.

Meng Yu looked at him with a helpless expression, tears streaming down her face. “Xiaoxia was scared. Someone drugged her, and I had her blood checked. She was indeed drugged. She ran away to avoid implicating us.”

Seeing Song Yi’s expression soften, Meng Yu continued, “She knew that stirring up trouble with the Brown Group would surely involve the Song family. The Song family is her only support, and she ran away to take all the blame.”

Song Yi had already considered these possibilities the moment the incident occurred. He had planned to shift all the blame onto Meng Xia, a mere foster daughter.

Her disappearance might not be a bad thing. It could be said she was scared, or it could be portrayed as fleeing in guilt. Either way, he could spin it.

Having been by his side for so many years, Meng Yu understood this man very well. She quickly retrieved the lab report from her phone. “Look, this is the report from the central hospital. Xiaoxia was indeed drugged. I think we should take the initiative to publicly disclose this matter. Someone is setting a trap for the Brown Group and the Song family, even implicating the Gu Group. This person has malicious intentions! Maybe Xiaoxia didn’t run away; perhaps someone abducted her.”

Listening to her words, Song Yi narrowed his eyes. Every word Meng Yu spoke seemed to hit him where it hurt. The person who drugged them directly opposed three major families. The Song family, as a victim, would not be targeted by the Brown Group.

“Hmph, audacious enough to conspire against the three families!” Song Vi uttered these words with cold disdain before making a swift retreat to his

room.

Meng Yu breathed a sigh of relief at this point. She had hidden Meng Xia in a small apartment. Some things she had thought through very clearly. She must make Meng Xia become Mrs. Brown, even if she couldn’t marry Jason, at least she would gain something. As for how to control Jason, Meng Yu had already prepared for that.

Meanwhile, Song Fan had been in her room. The photos of Meng Xia and Jason spread quickly this time. A gossip and entertainment company in the capital had disseminated them. This company had just received a transfer from a branch of the Zhao Group a few days ago, totaling eight million, which was quite a substantial amount.

Thinking about the woman who spoke that day, Song Fan had a hunch that it was Zhao Li. She quickly infiltrated the surveillance system of the Lanhai Hotel. Indeed, she found a woman in a black skirt on the second-floor surveillance.

She carefully compared her with the images and confirmed that it was Zhao Li.

She moved through the banquet and spent some time in the restroom with

Meng Xia, after which Meng Xia was taken away after changing her clothes.

From this perspective, it was Zhao Li who drugged Meng Xia. But what benefits did exposing Meng Xia and Jason bring to her?

Song Fan continued to watch the surveillance, then focused on the hall. She zoomed in on the segment where Meng Xia fell. She discovered that when Meng Xia fell, the waiter next to her had already switched the positions of the wine glasses. This was how Meng Xia ended up drinking the drugged wine.

She scrutinized the waiter, not recognizing him. This made Song Fan even more curious. At this moment, a message from Gu Chen provided the answer.

The message read, “All the staff at the banquet were mine. Meng Xia dug her own grave. My people only let her taste the consequences. The hotel surveillance has been deleted. No need to worry.”

Reading the message, Song Fan didn’t know how to respond. Since she met Gu Chen, people have silently cared for and protected her. In the end, she only replied with “Understood” and couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Chen saw the word and couldn’t help but smile. Then, with a cold expression, he looked at the video of the woman in the black skirt. He had indeed underestimated Zhao Li. He had originally thought that since both families were in the capital, he could overlook some things. However, when Zhao Li targeted Song Fan, he couldn’t let her off easily.

Gu Chen dialed a number from his contact list. “Suspend all the cooperation with the Zhao family in the capital..”
