CHAPTER 491: CHAPTER 491: HOW DOES MISS JI WANT TO PLAY? I’LL ACCOMPANY TO THE END!

The muscular man smiled and didn’t back down due to Ji Wei’s imposing demeanor. "Miss Ji is famously beautiful in Rongcheng, any man who sees you would be uncontrollably captivated. I just wanted to share a drink with you, nothing more."

"Sorry, I don’t have the slightest interest in you." Ji Wei rejected him bluntly.

The muscular man thickened his skin and sat across from Ji Wei. "Miss Ji, don’t be so aloof. We’re all here for the party; it’s just about getting to know each other and having a bit of fun."

"Are you certain you want to have fun?" Ji Wei raised a cold brow.

The muscular man, noticing she finally responded to him, quickly replied excitedly, "Of course! However Miss Ji wants to have fun, I’ll go along with it to the end!"

Perfect timing—the appearance of Zhu Jianian had made her sick to her stomach. Now someone was voluntarily presenting himself to help her vent. She had no reason to refuse.

Ji Wei smirked coldly, sipped her champagne, and then casually raised her finger, pointing in Zimei’s direction. "If you can get that woman’s phone number, I’ll drink with you to your heart’s content!"

The muscular man followed her finger’s direction, and suddenly felt a bit intimidated.

While he didn’t know Zimei’s true identity, her alluring figure and the aura she exuded were enough to make people hesitate. Trying to provoke that thorny purple rose? He feared only ending up with a bloody hand.

"What’s wrong? Scared now?" Ji Wei caught the man’s hesitant reaction and teased him with a mocking tone.

Men care most about their pride, especially in front of a woman they admire. Losing face was not an option.

He downed the champagne in his glass in one gulp, then placed the empty glass firmly on the table. "Fine, I’ll go right now. But if I succeed in getting the phone number, Miss Ji must drink with me all night... all *night*!"

The muscular man’s words were laced with flirtatious undertones.

Ji Wei suppressed the nausea churning inside her and nodded lightly. "Alright."

But inside, she thought to herself, *You won’t have the chance.*

Provoking Zimei? That was simply a death wish!

As soon as the muscular man walked away, Ji Wei immediately got up and headed to the changing room.

When she opened the changing room she’d used earlier, she found it completely empty—her bag was nowhere to be seen.

She felt puzzled. She was certain she’d hung her bag on the wall after changing clothes.

Could someone have taken it?

Ji Wei’s mind suddenly flashed to Zhu Jianian.

...

Qin Sixue brought Zhu Jianian into the living room to tend to her wounds.

The injuries weren’t deep—just a few scratches. After a simple disinfecting and some bandages, they were fine.

Zhu Jianian could tell Qin Sixue was eager to return to the party, so she urged her to go, saying she wanted to stop by the restroom first.

Qin Sixue quickly apologized before rushing off.

Zhu Jianian removed the miniature recording device from her pocket, gripping it tightly, then hurried toward the restroom.

Once inside, she locked the door behind her and immediately dialed Nan Huiru’s number.

"Aunt Huiru, there’s something I must tell you. That bitch Ji Wei isn’t preg—"

Before Zhu Jianian could finish her sentence, the restroom door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang!

Startled, she whipped her head around and saw a blonde-haired woman stride in.

"Wh-Who are you?" Zhu Jianian stammered, swallowing nervously as she instinctively retreated.

"Jianian, what were you trying to tell me? Can you hear me, Jianian..."

The urgent voice of Nan Huiru from the phone momentarily brought Zhu Jianian back to her senses.

Just as she was about to reply, the blonde woman raised her leg and kicked the phone from Zhu Jianian’s hand with swift precision.

The phone hit the ground, its screen shattered into pieces, and the call was abruptly cut off.
