Since Jiang Cheng refused to be Liu Zuiqing's bodyguard, Uncle Ma and Liu Zuiqing had no choice but to temporarily return to the hotel and find another way to return to Singapore.
At this time, Jiang Cheng also returned to Sailboat Hotel at the same time. In the suite, Zheng Xiaohu, Xiao Bai, and Du Yuan had already packed up their things. The four of them would temporarily separate here today. Du Yuan needed to go back to his hometown to see his son, Xiao Bai also needed to go home to celebrate his mother's birthday, and Zheng Xiaohu was given a very difficult task by Jiang Cheng, that was to go home. His parents had been nagging him for many months, asking him why Xiaohu hadn't come home yet. Even if he was going abroad to do business, he couldn't not go home for a few months. His family was still trying to find a wife for him.
After sending off the three brothers, only Jiang Cheng was left in the hotel. He turned on the computer and went online. He booked a ticket to New York, the United States, tomorrow to see Mino. Jiang Cheng didn't know how the girl was recently. She didn't even call him, which made Jiang Cheng very worried.
It was extremely boring to be alone. In the evening, Jiang Cheng walked out of the room in boredom and came to the square outside the hotel to wander. This year was the 15th anniversary of the opening of Sailboat Hotel in Dubai. Their celebration would be held for as long as a year.
This year, all the guests who stayed in the hotel could enjoy a luxury Rolls-Royce shuttle, an open-air six-course extravagant dinner, a representative spa experience, and so on. Jiang Cheng went to the open-air dinner held in the square outside the hotel tonight.
Although there had just been a gunfight during the day, it didn't affect tourists from all over the world to participate in the celebration at all. Moreover, the hotel had also strengthened the security work. Two guards were added at the entrance of the hotel, and the duty room was in a state of high alert at all times. They would immediately call the police at the slightest sign of trouble.
However, according to criminal psychology, if the first crime did not succeed and alerted the enemy, the second crime would definitely not be committed in the same place. This was common sense. Therefore, the hotel was actually tight on the outside but loose on the inside. The internal affairs of the hotel were still the same.
In order to attend this dinner, Jiang Cheng specially changed into a suit. It should be known that this was a very formal dinner. Guests couldn't attend without wearing formal clothes, so Jiang Cheng had no choice but to change into his own suit.
At seven o 'clock in the evening, the banquet officially began. Jiang Cheng chose a table for two and sat down. Because he was alone, he chose a seat near the side in a low-key manner. At the large round tables in the middle, there were smiling foreigners sitting there. They were all from all over the world. Some were business tycoons, and some were here for sightseeing.
The level of the banquet was very high. Although it was open-air, there was no dust in the air. The air in this area was very clean. The waiters were shuttling back and forth to serve dishes to each table. There were about a hundred guests attending the banquet today. Most of the tables were already occupied.
Jiang Cheng sat alone at a table for two. The waiter didn't say much. He still served him six dishes and asked Jiang Cheng if he wanted to open a bottle of red wine. Of course, Jiang Cheng agreed readily. Anyway, it was free. It would be a waste if he didn't eat it. With such an expensive accommodation fee, he had to get something back from the food.
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to pick up the fork and start eating, a fragrant wind suddenly floated over. He saw a girl in a white dress walk to his table and then sit opposite him.
When Jiang Cheng saw the face of the person, his expression couldn't help but change slightly. He said, "Miss Liu, I've made it very clear that I really don't have time to be your bodyguard. I have my own things to do."
Liu Zuiqing smiled slightly. "I know, but it doesn't matter. I won't force you. I'm here to thank you. Thank you for saving me today. If you hadn't appeared, perhaps I would have been dead by now!"
"Don't say that, Miss Liu. People's lives are determined by God. God doesn't want you to die today. He doesn't want such a beautiful lady like you to leave this beautiful world at such a young age. This is such a sad thing. So, you won't die yet. At least you can live for another 70 or 80 years!" Jiang Cheng said jokingly.
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Liu Zuiqing couldn't help but secretly cover her mouth and laugh. "Mr. Jiang, you really know how to joke. If I live for another 70 or 80 years, then I can live to 100 years old. Who can live that long nowadays? I haven't even seen an old man who has lived that long!"
With that, Liu Zuiqing naturally picked up the wine bottle on the table, took a glass, and poured herself a small half glass of red wine. Then she picked up the glass and saluted Jiang Cheng, preparing to drink.
Jiang Cheng hurriedly picked up the glass in return. However, when the glass was about to his mouth, Jiang Cheng suddenly reached out and grabbed Liu Zuiqing's right hand. "Don't drink it! This wine is poisoned! "
Liu Zuiqing was about to drink the wine, but suddenly Jiang Cheng grabbed it with his hand. The red wine that was about to reach her mouth retreated again. She asked in surprise, "What? Poisoned? "
"Yes, this wine has been tampered with. Poison was added to it. Damn it, the waiter." With that, Jiang Cheng got up and looked around, looking for the waiter who had just opened the wine for him.
However, at this time, Jiang Cheng couldn't find the waiter no matter how hard he looked. Needless to say, the poison in the wine was put in by the waiter when he opened the bottle. Jiang Cheng didn't know how it was added.
However, when Jiang Cheng picked up the glass, he smelled a different smell. This kind of smell could not appear in red wine. Therefore, it was very likely that someone had drugged the wine and changed the smell of the wine. The waiter was the most suspicious person.
Jiang Cheng immediately told Liu Zuiqing, "Wait for me here. I'll be back soon!"
After that, Jiang Cheng got up and walked in the direction of the exit of the banquet. The opponent was obviously coming for him, because even if Liu Zuiqing didn't appear, the bottle of red wine would appear in front of him. If he didn't notice the problem, he would definitely be poisoned to death. Needless to say, the person who drugged the wine was definitely related to the group of people during the day.
However, whether Liu Zuiqing's appearance was within the scope of their consideration, Jiang Cheng didn't know. If this was the case, then the opponent was too powerful. They could predict that Liu Zuiqing would come to his table. If this bottle of wine was drunk, it would be killing two birds with one stone.
Jiang Cheng ran out of the banquet venue and came to the outside of the hotel. The road was busy with many vehicles and pedestrians. With so many people, Jiang Cheng couldn't find the target he was looking for at all.
Jiang Cheng spat on the ground and cursed, "F * ck, Liu Yuande, right? I won't play with you!"
With a gun of anger, Jiang Cheng returned to the banquet and sat back at his table. At this time, the dishes on the table had been taken away, and the bottle of red wine was gone. Only a beautiful woman was still sitting quietly at the table.
Jiang Cheng sat back in his seat, pointed to the empty table, and asked what was going on.
Liu Zuiqing hurriedly replied, "Oh, I asked the hotel manager to change the table for us. They also took the bottle of wine to test. Mr. Jiang, do you know who did it?"
Jiang Cheng curled his lips and said, "Who else could it be? Your uncle is really something. I just saved your life once, and he wants to poison me."
Liu Zuiqing's expression was very awkward. She didn't know how to answer Jiang Cheng's words. After all, the person who poisoned her was most likely sent by her uncle, but she couldn't do anything about it.
The atmosphere became a little dull. At this time, the waiter came up with new dishes, followed by a lobby manager of the hotel. He said to Jiang Cheng and Liu Zuiqing apologetically, "I'm really sorry. There was indeed something wrong with the bottle of wine just now. We've decided to exchange it for a bottle of 1982 Lafite for free, and waive the accommodation fee for today. I hope you won't tell anyone about what happened just now, and don't call the police. What do you think?"
The manager's words made Jiang Cheng frown. He thought to himself, "Your hotel has been infiltrated and poisoned. It's not good for you to know about this."
The manager wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't know what was going on with the hotel recently. Incidents happened one after another. Yesterday, there was a gunfight at the entrance. People were lying on the ground, and the ground at the entrance was red. It took the hotel's cleaning staff a long time to clean it up. They also spent a lot of public relations funds to suppress this matter. The reporters and media also spent a lot of money to bribe them to not report this matter.
If this matter was spread to the media, it would be extremely bad for the hotel's reputation. In the future, the reputation of the world's number one hotel would be ruined. If people knew that there had been such a serious gunfight at the gate of the hotel, who would dare to stay in the hotel in the future? This would have a great impact on the hotel's business.
He didn't expect that there would be another wave of trouble. The shooting case hadn't been solved yet, and today, there was a poisoning case. This made the boss of the hotel start to wonder which bastard had a grudge against him and was bent on harming him.
The manager was also suffering at this time. The poisoning case had been clearly instructed by the higher-ups to suppress it. No matter what method they used, they couldn't let the customers know about it.
