The car stopped in the underground carpark. Xu Jiamu got out and pressed the elevator button. He stood at the door, waiting for Song Xiangsi to enter before pressing the button for her floor.
The elevator went up, and when it reached the floor, Xu Jiamu walked to the left door, keyed in the password, and pushed the door open. He waited for Song Xiangsi to enter before he entered.
Xu Jiamu closed the door, and casually threw the car keys at the entrance. He stared at Song Xiangsi for a moment, but didn't say a word. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and slapped her hard across the face.
The slap came without warning, and with enough force. Caught off guard, Song Xiangsi fell to the ground from the force of the slap.
At eleven o 'clock, everyone left the hall.
At ten, Xu Jiamu left the room, and never came back.
The others drank quite a bit, and left in a taxi, or were picked up by someone else. Qiao Anhao sent Qiao Anxia to Chen Yang's car, who had just finished his work. She pulled out her phone, and called Xu Jiamu. She called a few times, but no one picked up.
When Lu Jinnian's assistant came out of the restroom, he saw Qiao Anhao standing in the lobby of the Golden Lounge, and greeted her. "Miss Qiao."
Qiao Anhao put her phone away, and nodded at him.
When the assistant saw that Qiao Anhao was standing there alone, he was slightly confused, and asked, "Miss Qiao, didn't you come with Mr. Xu? Why are you here alone? "
Qiao Anhao was a little confused as to how Lu Jinnian's assistant knew.
The assistant added, "Mr. Xu was waiting for you downstairs, and coincidentally bumped into you."
Qiao Anhao pursed her lips in understanding, and said with a smile, "I don't know where he went, I was waiting for him."
The assistant let out an "Oh", and then said politely, "Miss Qiao, I still have something to do, so I'll be heading over first."
Qiao Anhao smiled and nodded.
The assistant pushed the door open, and glanced at Lu Jinnian sitting in front of the mahjong table.
The other three each had a young girl in their arms. He was the only one who looked aloof and aloof, and he was alone.
The assistant silently walked up to take a look at Lu Jinnian's cards. His luck was really good. He waited for Lu Jinnian to throw a two biscuit before bending over to whisper into his ear, "Mr. Lu, when I went to the restroom, I saw Miss Qiao in the lobby."
Lu Jinnian's expression didn't change, but it was obvious that his fingers tightened around the edge of the tile.
The assistant continued to report in a low voice, "We don't know where Mr. Xu went, but Miss Qiao is waiting for him."
"Oh." Lu Jinnian nodded, as if it had nothing to do with him.
The assistant's eyes moved slightly, and she continued to add, "Miss Qiao doesn't seem to be driving. If she doesn't see Mr. Xu, she might have to hail a cab back. It's not easy to hail a cab here..."
Before the assistant could finish, Lu Jinnian calmly stood up from his seat. He pointed at the chips he had won, and said to the assistant, "Help me play for a while." Then he apologized to the other three players, who had confused expressions on their faces. Without waiting for the assistant and the others to react, Lu Jinnian picked up the jacket hanging behind the chair and walked out of the room.
