As the saying went, there must be a reason behind every abnormality.
Therefore, Chi Jiao was on the alert now.
Jiang Xiaoli returned to her room after finishing her meal.
“You’ve showered?” Jiang Xiaoli saw Chi Jiao sitting on the bed with a book and took the initiative to talk to her.
Chi Jiao nodded indifferently.
“Tl go take my shower now, then,” Jiang Xiaoli said as she took out her toiletries and walked into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of running water could be heard from inside.
Chi Jiao glanced at the bathroom door. She could clearly feel that Jiang Xiaoli’s mood had improved a lot.
‘What made her so happy?
Recalling how Jiang Xiaoli and Xiong Junxi had been whispering intimately, Chi Jiao increasingly felt that something fishy was going on.
Glancing at the time, Chi Jiao saw that it was already 11:00 PM. Not thinking too much about it, she laid down after putting away her book.
Jiang Xiaoli soon finished her shower.
‘When she came out of the bathroom and saw Chi Jiao lying motionless under the covers, she asked softly, “Chi Jiao? Are you asleep?”
Hearing Jiang Xiaoli’s voice, Chi Jiao pretended not to hear her and kept her eyes closed.
Seeing no reaction from her, Jiang Xiaoli’s lips curled into a sinister smile. Under the bright lights, her smile looked especially horrifying.
She dared to sleep so soundly in such a place?
This damn girl really didn’t have any sense of danger.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Xiaoli quickly walked to her luggage. As she fumbled around in it, she kept turning her head to look if Chi Jiao had moved.
‘When she finally found the small tube she was looking for, Jiang Xiaoli’s eyes lit up as she took it out.
The black tube looked like a pipe.
Jiang Xiaoli quickly found a mask and put it on. She then took out a lighter and lit the pipe.
White smoke quickly spread, accompanied by a strong scent.
‘The moment Chi Jiao smelled the scent, she knew what Jiang Xiaoli was trying to do.
She quickly pressed a few acupuncture points on her body and held her breath.
The smoke soon faded away.
Jiang Xiaoli quickly walked to Chi Jiao’s bed and bent down to look at the girl.
The young girl lay motionless on the bed. She seemed to be sleeping soundly.
“Chi Jiao?” Jiang Xiaoli shouted as she reached out to her.
Just as her hand was about to touch her, the motionless Chi Jiao suddenly tuned around and reached out to grab Jiang Xiaoli’s mask.
Caught off-guard, Jiang Xiaoli’s mask was tom off, causing her to inhale the strange scent.
Jiang Xiaoli’s eyes widened in disbelief. All she could see was the sweet smile on Chi Jiao’s face. Her heart turned cold as the scene before her eyes darkened. She fainted.
Temporarily ignoring the figure on the ground, Chi Jiao covered her mouth and nose and quickly got up. She found a clean mask to wear before opening the window for ventilation.
Returning to Jiang Xiaoli’s side, Chi Jiao saw her phone on the ground.
An unread WeChat message appeared on it.
[Brother Xiong: How are things on your end? Can I go over now?]
Chi Jiao looked at the unconscious Jiang Xiaoli and instantly understood what she and Xiong Junxi were scheming.
