Chapter 1276: The Windows Are Sealed Shut

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t care about what they were doing outside, she immediately found the switch and turned on the lights.

This should be the cloakroom prepared for guests.

The host organizing the banquet considered the possibility of guests staining their dresses and had a room prepared on each floor in advance.

The clothes inside were all luxury brands, mostly already purchased.

If any lady happened to need one, the host would give the dress as a gift, which solved the lady’s predicament on one hand and pleased the man or family behind her on the other.

Nan Jiaojiao had attended many banquets with Lu Zhenzhen and understood these matters well.

As soon as she entered, she smelled the scent of rose incense.

Just as she thought it was nice, Song Yuan suddenly leaned against the wall and collapsed, her face even paler than before, exhaling more than inhaling.

“What’s wrong with you?” Nan Jiaojiao crouched down, not touching her.

Song Yuan leaned against the wall, her lips trembling continuously, “I…

I’m allergic to floral scents.”

Nan Jiaojiao frowned, immediately stood up, and took out the fresh flowers from the vases in every corner, carrying them in her arms, then went to the innermost wardrobe, opened the door, and stuffed them in.

She deliberately washed her hands before pouring a cup of water and dousing the incense burning in the burner.

After all that, Nan Jiaojiao planned to open the window for ventilation, but when she pushed the first window, it didn’t budge.

Suspicious for a moment, she tried harder but still couldn’t move it, then proceeded to the second window and couldn’t push it open either.

“What’s the matter?” Song Yuan asked weakly.

“The windows are sealed shut.”

“Ah…”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced back at her, found a water dispenser and a fruit plate in the room, poured a cup of warm water, and carried it along with the fruit plate.

She hesitated in front of Song Yuan.

She couldn’t just place the food on the ground.

Nan Jiaojiao took everything back to the coffee table and then went back to support Song Yuan, “Your symptoms don’t seem like a simple allergy.”

Song Yuan pressed her lips together, not saying much.

She only took a sip of water, half of which she choked out and couldn’t drink anymore.

Nan Jiaojiao subtly took Song Yuan’s pulse.

She pretended to touch it unintentionally, turning her head to one side, when suddenly the person behind her asked, “Do you know how to take a pulse?”

“No.”

Nan Jiaojiao denied quickly, “You look pale, I’m just checking your hand’s temperature.

Do you have any medicine on you?”

Song Yuan shook her head with difficulty, “The medicine is in my bag…”

She didn’t even finish speaking before she started gasping for breath again, her face distinctly sickly pale.

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and several fire extinguishers were sprayed into the room, then thrown inside.

The door slammed shut.

There was mocking laughter from the men outside.

“Cough cough cough…”

Song Yuan felt even worse.

Nan Jiaojiao was particularly disgusted by those people’s actions.

She was initially planning to give Song Yuan an injection, but now the room was filled with white smoke, making visibility difficult.

Staying any longer would worsen the asthma.

Nan Jiaojiao walked towards the door, taking a needle from her hair and sticking it into the lock.

The silver needle met resistance halfway in.

She took it out and, unable to see clearly, rubbed the substance off the needle tip.

It was wax.

Those bastards had actually sealed the lock with wax!

Even though it hadn’t solidified yet, picking the lock this way wouldn’t be very effective.

Moreover, the locks on doors in luxury hotels were specially customized, making them quite difficult to pick.

Nan Jiaojiao inserted the silver needle back into her hair, looked around, picked up a chair, and smashed the window.

This was the twelfth floor.
