179 Caught Red-Handed
“What do you mean by my friend? Are you muddleheaded?” Tong Pei coldly looked at Li Tuan.
Li Tuan felt a chill run down his back. The man in front of him was the most famous man in the capital. His means and swift and decisive actions were something that many people could not compare to.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Miss Guo Miao. I drank too much.”
“Miss Guo is the Tong family’s guest of honor and also Young Master Tong’s friend. If you continue to speculate like this, I think Young Master Tong will no longer support the projects of TQ,” Tong Huan said.
Tong Pei sat on a chair at the side and looked at Li Tuan coldly.
LQ was a film company founded by Li Tuan and a few directors. It had just started recently.
Although Li Tuan was only a film critic, he still dreamed of making a film. This company was an important way for him to prove himself to his father.
“I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault. I beg you, Young Master, please be magnanimous and let me off.” Li Tuan almost knelt down and kowtowed to Tong Pei.
“How are you?” Tong Pei looked at Guo Miao.
Guo Miao shook her head. She didn’t drink the wine, and she did not suffer any substantial injuries.
“Alright, take teacher Li away.” Tong Pei stood up and looked at Guo Miao. which hotel are you staying at? I’ll send you back.
Guo Miao shook her head. I’ll just stay at the hotel with director Ning Zheng.
“I’m sorry to trouble you,” Tong Pei looked at Ning Zheng.
Ning Zheng quickly nodded. She did not come to these social events often and rarely brought her own actors. This was her first time, but she did not expect to cause such a big problem.
He even invited a big shot like Tong Pei.
“I’m really sorry, I didn’t think it through. If there’s an occasion that requires Miss Guo Miao to attend in the future, I’ll make sure to investigate in advance.” Ning Zheng quickly apologized to Tong Pei.
Although she didn’t know why Tong Pei would interfere in this matter, Ning Zheng knew that this big boss treated Guo Miao differently.
“Alright,” he said. Tong Pei motioned to Tong Huan to leave, and the two figures disappeared at the door.
The few old men who had drunk three rounds had almost sobered up, and a few timid ones were sitting in their seats, trembling.
This bigwig, Tong Pei, wasn’t just anyone. He was a person who could shake the capital with a slight stomp of his feet.
If Li Tuan didn’t handle this matter well today, he probably wouldn’t be able to stay in Beijing in the future.
At the side, Shen Lan took her bag and left in a panic. She walked to the rubbish bin in the women’s washroom and poured all the drugs in the bottle into the bin. She couldn’t let anyone find out that she had drugged Guo Miao’s cup.
She gently patted her chest.
Guo Miao definitely wasn’t a simpleton who could have a relationship with Tong Pei. Even if Tong Pei had to offend these film critics, he had to protect her, so she couldn’t be a nobody.
“Miss Shen, you sure are in a good mood.” A man’s voice came from behind her.
“This is the women’s washroom. Where did you come from, perv?” Shen Lan turned around and saw Tong Huan standing in the same spot. She turned pale with fright and hid the small bottle behind her.
“Ah, it’s you, Mr. Tong Huan. May I know why you’re looking for me?”
“Young Master invites you to come in.” After Tong Huan said this, he turned and left.
Shen Lan stood on the spot, confused. When did this mogul have the time to meet a small actress like her?
With an uneasy disposition, Shen Lan walked into Tong Pei’s private room.
“Uncle, I wonder what you’re looking for.”
“Your sister married my nephew. We’re not relatives, so you don’t have to call me uncle.” Tong Pei’s expression was cold, and he refused to smile at Shen Lan.
Shen Lan looked a little flustered. “Young Master Tong, it was my fault for what happened today. I couldn’t stop Teacher Li Tuan. As you know, if a small-time actress like me were to challenge him, I was afraid that my future in the entertainment industry would be ruined.”
“Shut up.” Tong Pei glanced at Shen Lan and pushed out the wine glass he had just received from the table.
“What’s this? Explain it to me.”
There was a white powder at the bottom of the glass. If white wine was poured into it, it would be impossible to tell if it was medicine or something else in the dark private room.
“I don’t know about that. It was Li Tuan and his team.”
“I’ve watched the surveillance video. It was Miss Shen who put it into the cup. Miss Shen had better not lie to our Young Master.” Tong Huan turned the computer on the table over.
“Caught you red-handed.”
