From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 32 - Qiao Yi Runs Into Trouble
Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Qiao Yi Runs Into Trouble
Qiao Xin rubbed her shoulders as she climbed up from the ground, kicking Qiao Yi’s body several times with her foot.
She knew Qiao Yi was not easy to deal with, but luckily she had come prepared, using a sedative to knock Qiao Yi out.
Qiao Xin looked at Qiao Yi lying on the ground and stepped on Qiao Yi’s face with her foot, a sick pleasure showing on her face.
No matter how arrogant she was, now she was trampled underfoot!
Qiao Xin kicked and beat Qiao Yi until she was too tired to lift her hands, then took out her phone and made a call.
“Come over, room 3501.”
...
After making the call, Qiao Xin left the room, only to return shortly after.
She was carrying a black bag, taking out things one by one.
Syringes, a bunch of white powder, and a bottle of clear liquid.
Qiao Xin placed all these items next to Qiao Yi, and after arranging everything, she still felt uneasy. She turned around and messed up the items in the room, as if someone had gone crazy in there.
After setting everything up, there was a knock on the door. Qiao Xin cautiously walked to the door and peeked before opening it.
“Why are you so slow? If someone finds out!”
Qiao Xin displeasedly pulled the person outside the door into the room, and it was none other than Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was startled by everything in the room as he entered.
He then saw Qiao Yi on the ground and the items on the table next to her and turned pale with shock.
“Drugs! Drugs, drugs, drugs…”
“Why are you so surprised, it’s all fake? I only want Qiao Yi’s reputation ruined. Work quickly according to my instructions. Whether you want to pretend or really go through with it, you must play your part well before the person I found arrives!”
Lu Ming looked at the twisted expression on Qiao Xin’s face, then at Qiao Yi lying on the ground, struggling internally.
“This isn’t too good, is it? If I do this, your dad won’t let me off the hook!”

“Do you still want those shares or not? I promise you, as soon as I marry Lu Yanchuan, I’ll sign the share transfer document immediately. If you keep hesitating, I’ll give the transfer to Lu Yanchuan instead!”
Qiao Xin was burning with impatience, wishing she were a man so she could deal with Qiao Yi herself!
Lu Ming’s hesitation completely vanished upon hearing the word ‘shares.’
Although doing this would almost completely destroy Qiao Yi, after all, Qiao Yi still had the Qiao Family, and without those thirty percent of shares, he would have no status in the Lu Family!
Seeing that Lu Ming had made up his mind, Qiao Xin turned and left, as it was no longer appropriate for her to stay here.
“I’m sorry.”
Lu Ming said softly, bending down to pick up Qiao Yi from the ground and placing her on the bed.
Feng Siyu and Yun Luoluo waited a long time without seeing Qiao Yi return. They asked the waiter who had left with Qiao Yi and Qiao Xin, and he said that the two had taken the elevator and got a room card and then asked him to leave; he didn’t know where the two had gone.
“Nothing should have happened at the venue, right?”
“My heart has been racing. Qiao Xin and Yiyi have always been at odds; they wouldn’t have started fighting, would they?”
Feng Siyu’s speculation received a roll of the eyes from Yun Luoluo.
“Even if they did get into a fight, you should be worried about Qiao Xin, not Yiyi. She might have been chatting with someone she knows. She’ll be back for the auction in a little while.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Siyu had no choice but to sit back down with Yun Luoluo and continue to wait for Qiao Yi’s return.
However, Qiao Yi did not return. Instead, many people in the venue were walking in one direction, especially some media personnel who were rushing towards the elevator with their cameras in tow.
“What’s going on with them? Is some big shot about to show up? Why are they all so excited?”
Feng Siyu looked puzzled in that direction, not seeing any remarkable figure, but saw Gu Ting walking towards her with a darkened face.
“It’s bad, Qiao Yi is in trouble!”
“In trouble? What happened?”
Feng Siyu looked at Gu Ting, nervous and puzzled, hands sweating with tension.
Gu Ting nodded at Yun Luoluo, handed a cellphone to Feng Siyu, and pulled her to walk in the opposite direction of the crowd.
As Feng Siyu walked, she checked the phone, and what caught her eye was the trending search that had just come out that evening.
“Second Miss Qiao meets privately with a man, both seen in a room doing…”
“Keep your voice down, this hot search has just come out. You were with Qiao Yi just now – where has she gone to now?”
Feng Siyu felt a chill in her limbs. As a celebrity, she understood all too well the power of public opinion and rumors, not to mention news that combines both gossip and criminal activity!
The media would surely swarm over like flies drawn to a scent!
“Yiyi went with Qiao Xin, they left a while ago, probably to the lounge. Let’s check the lounge first!”
Gu Ting took Feng Siyu and ran through the fire exit, all the way to the third floor to the room mentioned by the waiter.
There was already a crowd gathered outside the room, mostly reporters, who were persistently knocking on the door.
Seeing this, Feng Siyu rushed forward, and Gu Ting couldn’t catch her. She watched as Feng Siyu dashed into the crowd, and quickly followed after.
“What are you all doing gathered here? Don’t you know this is the lounge? Or do you want to break the rules of the charity event?”
Feng Siyu, protected by Gu Ting, made her way to the room’s entrance, standing in front of the door like a protective mother hen.
Moments ago, there was only a wealthy young lady, and now a popular star had appeared!
The reporters on the scene were almost all stirred up, their cameras aimed at Feng Siyu, shouting their questions.
“Miss Feng! Why are you defending a rich young lady who has breached the stock price law? Is it because you want the support of the Qiao Family?”
“Miss Feng, are you aware of Miss Qiao’s illegal activities, or have you participated in them yourself, fearing exposure and thus defending Miss Qiao?”
“Miss Feng! Please answer my question directly!”
With Gu Ting standing firmly in front of her, not letting anyone touch Feng Siyu, she looked at the frantic reporters without saying a word.
The commotion in the crowd grew bigger and bigger, and the corridor was almost completely blocked. Qiao Benqing, who heard the news and rushed over, was stopped outside and couldn’t get in.
Sweat dripped down Gu Ting’s forehead, Feng Siyu looked at him with heartache, and with a cold face turned to the reporters surrounding her, lifting up the cellphone that she had been holding tightly.
“Just now, I’ve recorded every word said by the reporters from each of your media outlets. Before the investigation is clear, you’ve made rash judgments, and I will contact Ms. Qiao to pursue your legal responsibilities.”
No one expected Feng Siyu to play this move. The people close to Feng Siyu suddenly quieted down, and they didn’t dare to resist even when being pushed by those behind them.
“Now, does anyone else have questions?”
