Chapter 118 Have you seen Sweetie?
As soothing music began to play, Yufei and Cui Yu'an started to sway and dance to the rhythm, spinning and floating.
The two danced like butterflies to the music, a flowing scroll painting against the backdrop of elegant melodies. On stage, they moved with light, graceful steps, sometimes flowing like water, sometimes fluttering like snowflakes.
All the Western exchange students couldn't help but wonder if these two were definitely from Great Xia, or rather from an ancient Western aristocracy.
The fluid dance steps and the figures with their dark eyes and hair, dressed in cheongsams and Zhongshan suits, made these exchange students feel particularly alienated.
Poly was initially smiling as he watched their performance, anticipating their humiliation in front of everyone, which would also damage Yufei's standing among the group of millionaires.
He believed that once she wavered in these people's eyes, all subsequent collaborations would be much easier to negotiate. He just hadn't expected that instead of being a blow, Yufei would steal the spotlight.
Paul, his face grim, gave the pianist a meaningful look, and the soothing music began to turn cheerful and lively.
When Yufei heard the music change, her dance steps also changed, and a passionate samba began.
King and Qing, who had been tentatively entwined and testing each other, became passionate and fiery, kicking and twisting their hips, their eyes locked in an intense struggle.
The surrounding spectators were also thrilled, and the air began to feel incredibly hot.
Yufei and Cui Yu'an's perfect opening dance ignited the enthusiasm of those around them, who all began inviting the girl of their dreams to dance together.
Westerners are passionate and outgoing, while Easterners are reserved and elegant; this ball perfectly showcased their personalities.
Most of the people dancing there are Western exchange students and tourists. The occasional couple of Asians dancing are probably also Western-educated.
As for what most of the people of Daxia were doing, they were eating while moving around, quickly grabbing a bite when no one was looking.
Hmm! They can't even see me. I've almost finished eating. I either sit on the corner sofa and space out, or if I get the urge, I jump around a bit.
After Yufei and Cui Yu'an finished their opening dance, they didn't want to go up and dance again; they declined many dance invitations.
The cat ate in a corner, continuing to chat about Monopoly, while Zhao Jing looked around anxiously, as if searching for something.
Seeing how anxiously Zhao Jing was looking for her, Yufei happily waved and called out to Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing also saw them and walked towards them, her expression naturally anxious, unlike the relaxed look she had when she saw Yufei.
As soon as she arrived, she anxiously asked, "Yufei! Have you seen Tiantian? She said she wanted to go to the bathroom, so I went with her and waited outside for ages! I didn't see her come out, so I went inside to look for her but couldn't find her!"
I thought she might have come back while I wasn't looking, but I looked around the lobby and couldn't find her!
Jiang Yifeng is searching everywhere now, and I'm worried something might have happened to Tiantian!
Upon hearing Zhao Jing's words, Yufei's previously upturned smile straightened, and her expression turned serious. From Zhao Jing's description, Yufei sensed that something had happened to Tiantian!
Yufei called Jiang Huai'an; this was no small matter, and many hands make light work.
Yufei explained the situation to Jiang Huai'an and then took Zhao Jing to find Lin Tiantian.
Lin Tiantian's side
Lin Tiantian, who had just finished using the restroom, came out and saw Zhao Jing waiting for her at the door, about to meet her in the lobby.
She was a little nervous. She wanted to ask Jiang Yifeng to dance later, and it was precisely because of her nervousness that she felt the urge to go to the bathroom.
After using the restroom, she felt less nervous. She took a deep breath to encourage herself. It was just asking someone to dance, nothing serious, even if Jiang Yifeng was unaware of her ulterior motives.
Out of consideration for their long-standing friendship, he wouldn't refuse her invitation.
Just as she was mentally preparing herself and calling Zhao Jing to come downstairs with her, a stench filled her nostrils, and her vision went black.
When Lin Tiantian regained some consciousness, she vaguely heard two people talking in Eagle Language.
"Have you done what I asked you to do?" One of the voices sounded somewhat familiar to Lin Tiantian.
"Don't worry about me, the goods are already inside! They won't wake up for a while."
"Alright! Also, is the medicine I asked you to buy on the black market ready?"
"I pulled a lot of strings to get this medicine! Are you sure you want to give it to that girl inside? This medicine is pretty strong! We're in Daxia, but if something happens, we can't just leave!"
"It's alright! I've heard that people in the Great Xia region value their reputation quite a bit. If I succeed, they won't dare to make a fuss. Besides, the exchange of labor will be over in a few days."
"By the time those inside wake up from their descent into depravity, I'll be back in my own country. What can they do to me then?" the familiar voice said smugly.
Another person he was talking to said
"Whatever! I'm just doing this for money anyway. But as always, I have to remind you: if things get out of hand, you absolutely cannot implicate me."
"Okay, okay! You're such a coward! Give me the stuff!"
As Lin Tiantian listened to their conversation, her mind gradually cleared. They must be referring to her when they said "goods"!
She heard her heart pounding like thunder, forced herself to calm down, and shook her still somewhat dazed mind.
Looking around, I saw a large bed and an extremely ambiguous lighting atmosphere.
The surrounding style is typical of a hotel; she should still be inside the hotel club owned by Poly.
While they were still chatting, she tiptoed out of bed, went to the door, and quietly locked it from the inside. She then assessed the layout of the room.
It's a suite, meaning she locked the door from the inside. They'll be able to open it sooner or later, and even if they force it open, no one outside will hear anything coming from inside, which is very disadvantageous for her.
Lin Tiantian searched everywhere and finally found her bag in the corner of the sofa.
Her hands trembled as she took her phone out of her bag. The first person she thought to call was Jiang Yifeng.
Beep beep... The call was quickly connected.
"Hey! Sweetie, where did you go? We've been looking for you like crazy!" Jiang Yifeng asked anxiously.
Lin Tiantian spoke softly into the phone, her voice trembling with tears, "I don't know where I am! I've been kidnapped! I only know I should still be in the hotel owned by Poly."
I might…
Before Lin Tiantian could finish speaking, she heard the sound of someone turning the doorknob outside.
"Damn, that girl's awake!"
