Mobile Bar.

It is a luxury bar located in the Wanda Sofitel Hotel in City B.

It's just past nine o'clock now, the busiest time for bars, and nightlife is just getting started.

Most of the lights in the bar were out, leaving only a few half-dim ones that cast an eerie glow on the stage where the lead dancer, who had already shed most of her costume, swayed precariously. In a booth in the center of the bar, a boy sat with a wild posture, leaning against another slightly older boy. The two were very intimate, huddled close together.

He held a cigarette between his fingers, taking a puff in a rough and somewhat reckless manner. Coupled with his face that looked like it had seen death, he instantly drew the attention of most of the strangers in the bar.

At this moment, a large group of people swaggered in from the entrance of the bar. They were dressed flamboyantly and exuded an air of confidence. These individuals were personally escorted by the manager past the dimly lit marble pillars towards the VIP room at the end.

This line of people also attracted most people's attention. When everyone came to their senses and looked back at the child...

For no apparent reason, the child suddenly jumped up from that boy and grabbed a glass of wine from the coffee table. She poured it all over the boy's face, then seemed to mutter something before turning and walking away.

The boy sat there, motionless.

Everyone chuckled, it seemed the little boyfriend had gotten into an argument. This unexpected event was like a fleeting melody, quickly forgotten by everyone.

Having splashed a face full of wine on Ji Yishan, Ning Xingchen ran out of the bar. As she neared the counter, her pace gradually slowed down. She couldn't help but turn back to glance at where Ji Yishan was sitting. A hazy figure remained seated there, not moving an inch.

Ning Xingchen sat sulkily on one side of the bar. A man beside him snapped his fingers, ordered a drink, twirled it in his hand for a moment, and then pushed it forward: "Sister, have a drink."

Stars, your father's been caught red-handed. Even if you don't expose him, someone higher up will find out eventually. If you're willing to testify, I guarantee this won't implicate you.

Ning Xingchen thought of Ji Yishan's words just now, her beautiful eyes were filled with resentment. She picked up the wine glass and drank a large mouthful.

Ji Yishan is Ning Xingchen's boyfriend. The two of them have been together for almost half a year. Today is Ning Xingchen's 18th birthday, and they made an appointment to celebrate here. Unexpectedly, before the birthday cake was served, Ji Yishan said this.

Ning Xingchen's father was a well-known businessman in the capital. Recently, it could be seen that his father seemed to be troubled by something, and his whole person had become much haggard. So, even though this was his 18th birthday, he didn't bother his father, and he didn't even notify a single friend, but only invited Ji Yishan to celebrate.

After all, it's an 18th birthday. It doesn't have to be a grand celebration, but I still want to spend it with the people who matter most.

Unexpectedly, the moment they met, Ji Yishan didn't even utter a "Happy Birthday" but instead said something like this to her.

This wine is very sweet, with almost no alcohol taste, like a beverage.

Ning Xingchen unknowingly finished the entire cup of wine. After finishing, she started to feel a little dizzy.

Gradually, Ning Xingchen felt something was wrong. He usually had a good tolerance for alcohol and it was impossible for him to be drunk after just one cup. He swayed and stood up, instinctively walking towards the bathroom.

Who knew that as soon as he stood up, the man beside him came over and held onto her waist: "Sister, have you had too much to drink? I'll take you home."

"Who are you, let me go!" Ning Xingchen pushed the man beside her hard, but for some reason, she couldn't muster any strength. This push seemed more like a welcoming gesture.

"Hey there, little sister. Still spicy." The man chuckled, his hand on Ning Xingchen's waist becoming even more unfaithful.

Ning Xingchen gritted her teeth, fueled by a burst of anger. Without hesitation, she grabbed the cup from the bar and hurled it at the man's head. "You think you can just take me?"

The man covered his head and cried out in surprise, following the finger that had been pointed at him, and simultaneously let go of Ning Xingchen.

Ning Xingchen seized the opportunity and stumbled into the room. Knowing she was out of line, she instinctively searched for Ji Yishan's presence.

Even in the most dangerous situations, I still think of him!

Only as she ran did Ning Xingchen realize that her entire body felt like it was floating on a cloud. Everything around her seemed to be jumping, and her consciousness grew increasingly hazy. In a blur, she thought she saw Ji Yishan, and instinctively followed him.

Finally, he dashed into the elevator just before the doors closed.

The VIP suite at the Wanda Sofitel Hotel, accessible by a direct elevator from MBar, was where Ning Xingchen stumbled out. As she looked towards that corner, her vision blurred and she thought she saw Ji Yishan's back again.
