Lin Yi implied that Jian Ai and the rest were overthinking. After all, drugging someone did not seem like something a high school student would do. Moreover, Jian Yiyi’s identity was not simple. She was the daughter of the Jian Group. Even if Liao Bo wanted to do something to her, he would probably have to consider it in his heart.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Lin Yi’s expression froze. Jian Ai couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Yi looked at the door and whispered, “I think I saw Liao Bo walk past the door just now!”
Jian Ai quickly stood up and left the private room. Qinghuan and the rest quickly followed.
They came to the corridor outside the private room and saw Liao Bo turn into another corridor. If they remembered correctly, it was the elevator.
It was over?
But why was Liao Bo alone? Where was Jian Yiyi?
Just as she was puzzled, Jian Ai saw a waiter pushing a garbage truck out of the innermost private room. Jian Ai quickly went up to him. “I’m sorry. Have the people in this private room left?”
The waiter was shocked. He was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Yes, they just paid the bill and left.”
“Was the person paying the bill a boy in a black coat and jeans? He’s about seventeen or eighteen years old?” Jian Ai asked when she saw Liao Bo’s outfit.
The waiter nodded again. “That’s right. He just left not long ago. If you chase after him now, you should be able to catch up.”
Jian Ai said, “No, thank you. By the way, was anyone else there when he paid the bill?”
“There were about five or six people when they came, but he was the only one who paid the bill,” the waiter answered truthfully. It was as if he saw that Jian Ai was also a child, so he was not guarded against her. He thought she might be friends with the customers in that room.
Jian Ai thanked him again and turned around. She realized the others had also run out.
“What did the waiter say? Was it Liao Bo’s private room?” Xia Qinghuan quickly asked.
Jian Ai nodded. “But the waiter said that Liao Bo was alone when he settled the bill. Jian Yiyi might have already gone home.”
Guan Tao’s worried heart relaxed when she heard that. “I knew it. We were too worried. How could such a terrifying thing happen?”
However, the more Jian Ai thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong, but she felt it was strange.
“Alright, it’s not easy for us to come out for a gathering. We’re having fun. Don’t let Jian Yiyi dampen our spirits.” Yan Tian immediately said indifferently, “Don’t think about it. Let’s continue drinking. You girls have already escaped a few glasses.”
The others also felt that this matter should be over. Liao Bo left by himself, so the only possibility they could think of was that Jian Yiyi had already gone home.
Returning to the private room, Jian Ai tried to chat and drink with them, but something seemed to be stuck in her heart. Her mind was not listening to her, and she was thinking about other things.
In the end, Jian Ai sat up straight and couldn’t help but look at Qinghuan. “Qinghuan, why don’t you call Jian Yichen with your phone?”
Xia Qinghuan had just finished a glass of wine when she heard this and almost spat it out. She immediately smiled at Jian Ai and said, “What’s going on, little sister? Who was the one who refused to call just now? Now that we’re over it, you’re not?”
“Jian Ai, don’t worry. She must have gone home,” Yan Tian said.
