The dance ended, and as Huo Tianqi left the dance floor, he was extra cautious.
With the central hall so spacious, one could exit in various directions after retreating from the scene.
Huo Siyu and Shen Li had left first, heading to the east side. So, Huo Tianqi, leading Bai Xiu, went west—east and west, sufficiently far apart.
Creating enough distance to reduce conflict.
However...
Bai Xiu crossed the venue and headed straight for Huo Siyu.
"Hey, you..."
Huo Tianqi's complexion changed instantly—he had already thought of a strategy while dancing.
After finishing the dance, he would add some love potion to a drink, knock her out, and dump her in the lounge on the first floor. Once Bai Nian arrived, he'd simply hand her over. Although a bit unscrupulous, this would save both trouble and peace of mind.
He believed that Bai Nian wouldn't take it too hard.
But as he turned to fetch the drug, Bai Xiu was already approaching Huo Siyu again.
"I understand now..."
