The most beautiful space

26. Invisibility!?

Qin Jing took a sip of wine. Although she was petite, the light made her appear even more alluring than her age. She chuckled sweetly, her breath sweet as orchids, "I will come, beautiful Shan Shan. I'm only doing this to repay your recommendation; how could I possibly make things up?"

At this moment, Su Wen smiled and apologized, then went to greet a middle-aged man who had just entered.

Lin Shanshan and Qin Jing stood together drinking. Qin Jing sipped her wine slowly, while Lin Shanshan elegantly and deftly downed a large glass. A man approached with his glass, trying to strike up a conversation with Lin Shanshan, but Qin Jing raised her glass to clink with his and shook her finger, saying, "Handsome sir, Miss Lin isn't in a good mood right now. I suggest you try your luck again later."

The man blushed at her words, turned and left. Lin Shanshan glanced at Qin Jing, who then swirled her wine glass and said, "Did I say something wrong? Our Miss Lin is currently drowning her sorrows and bolstering her courage with alcohol, isn't she?"

Lin Shanshan had known Qin Jing for many years and knew that Qin Jing was sometimes like that—caring for someone in a way that annoyed you. She clinked glasses with her and said, "Since you know what I'm thinking, drink with me!"

As the two were drinking, Xie Chengjing, whom Lin Shanshan had been longing for, walked in quickly, dressed casually. His tall and upright figure was particularly eye-catching, but his face remained perpetually expressionless. Surrounded and guided by several people, Lin Shanshan called out, "Xie Chengjing!"

As a result, Xie Chengjing walked past Lin Shanshan and Qin Jing without looking at them, took a few long strides, and sat down in the rest area on the left. Soon, a large group of people gathered around him.

"Damn it!" Qin Jing slammed her wine glass down beside her, her face no longer displaying that alluring smile, but rather an angry expression. With a hint of sarcasm, she said, "No wonder you were nervous. Facing this kind of cold, walking weapon-like man really takes courage. I really don't know how you can have such terrible taste!"

Lin Shanshan stood there silently watching Xie Chengjing for a while before putting down her wine glass and slowly walking towards Xie Chengjing, who remained silent and icy amidst the crowd. She was a well-known and popular actress, and her tall and slender figure was made even more charming by her backless dress. Her oval face had a slight blush from the wine, making her a figure of attention throughout the party. As soon as she approached, the shrewd people around Xie Chengjing smiled knowingly and automatically moved away.

Lin Shanshan smiled at Xie Chenghui and said, "Mr. Xie, congratulations on your son's marriage."

Xie Chenghui, who hadn't originally planned to leave, observed Xie Chengjing's expression. He remained expressionless, neither happy nor angry, and seemed unpleasant. Furthermore, since Lin Shanshan had already spoken, he nodded to her and had no choice but to leave.

An invisible barrier seemed to have formed around the two of them. People drank, danced, and chatted throughout the hall, but no one approached this particular area. However, when a beauty like Lin Shanshan was with someone like Xie Chengjing, who, while not a scholar, far surpassed one, almost everyone was secretly watching them.

"Xie Chengjing," Lin Shanshan called out, looking down at the man she had loved for so many years.

But Xie Chengjing remained silent, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

Lin Shanshan didn't find it strange. She would have been surprised if this man suddenly became warm and friendly to her. "Are you really going to keep ignoring me like this? You don't like anyone, but I like you. From when you were 25 to 31, and from when I was 23 to 29, a full six years, are you willing to stay alone like this and not give me a chance? I thought even if you were a block of iron, you would be melted."

Xie Chengjing then glanced at her and stated the truth: "We've only met a few times."

"Ha, that's because you've never paid any attention to me!"

Xie Chengjing honestly couldn't recall any encounter with her that could have captured her heart. He knew Lin Shanshan, but only because she was the spokesperson for an important brand under Xie Mingyuan and a top-tier celebrity active in the capital—that was all. However, he never felt he should treat other people's sincerity as mere entertainment, so he earnestly explained, "Indeed. Give up."

He didn't like being the center of attention alongside a woman. He glanced habitually at where Su Tong was, his pupils dilating instantly—this time, the corner of her black skirt was no longer visible beneath the dark red velvet curtain. His intuition told him that something was definitely wrong with that woman! And he firmly believed that a soldier's intuition was often more reliable than the most advanced equipment or the most comprehensive analysis.

His gut feeling told him that he would regret it if something happened to this woman.

Lin Shanshan was stunned by Xie Chengjing's almost indifferent ruthlessness. Xie Chengjing suddenly stood up. He was nearly 1 meters tall. Although Lin Shanshan had met basketball players who were even taller than 9 meters, only this man could give her such pressure and such a demeanor. However, he had never shown her any tenderness. Thinking this, the beautiful star couldn't help but feel sad and stumbled in her high heels.

Xie Chengjing spotted Su Wen chatting nonchalantly with her father-in-law, Xie Chenghui, at a glance. His actions were simple and brutal; he grabbed Su Wen by the arm and lifted her up. Even though Su Wen was usually quite resolute, she was so frightened that she screamed, "Ah!" The guests were all astonished to see the bride of the wedding party in such a disheveled state, watching as a tall, cold-faced man carried Su Wen like a chick to a nearby lounge.

Xie Mingde, who was standing next to her, smiled and said, "Sorry, it's a private matter. Please feel free to do as you please." Then he followed anxiously, but Qin Jing, who ran over to help Lin Shanshan, only saw indifference in his eyes.

Su Wen was gripped by Xie Chengjing's iron grip, her face contorted in fear for a moment, and she instinctively called out the name of her beloved: "Mingde! Mingde!"

When Xie Chengjing kicked open the door to a lounge and threw her on the ground like a rag doll, she protected her lower abdomen and was determined to pretend she knew nothing. However, looking up into Xie Chengjing's hawk-like eyes, she truly felt the terror of a rabbit being stared at by an eagle.

Xie Mingde followed closely behind, first giving Su Wen a reassuring look before calmly asking, "Second Uncle, is there something you need from my wife? She's not feeling well right now, so please just tell me what you need."

Xie Chengjing didn't even look at him. He just stared at Su Wen with his dark, deep eyes, eyes that had witnessed countless shadows and killings. Although he didn't make any concrete moves, Su Wen still felt a chill creeping up from the depths of his heart. It felt like an eternity, terrifyingly long, yet also like only a few seconds. Su Wen felt his teeth chattering before he finally asked, "Where's Su Tong?"

"No...I don't know, I don't know." Su Wen covered her lower abdomen with one hand, muttering the answer she had already thought of.

At this moment, Xie Chenghui, Su Erbo, Wang Jia, Su Wen's maternal grandfather Wang Zhenhua, and several other important figures from the Xie and Wang families had all entered the room. They were all stunned to see this tense scene. The hotel security guards quickly guarded the door of the room, preventing others from entering.

"Chengjing, what's wrong? If Su Wen has done something wrong, I'll apologize on her behalf first." Xie Chenghui frowned and quickly advised, while giving Su Wen a look that signaled her to apologize first.

Xie Chengjing looked down at the disheveled Su Wen, his voice like a messenger from hell, light and cold like a sword hanging over her head, saying, "If that's the case, then your father Su Zhenghe, your mother Wang Jia, your husband Xie Mingde, your father-in-law Xie Chenghui, your maternal grandfather Wang Zhenhua, all of them, and the child in your womb, are you ready to send them to hell for your stupidity?!"

Su Wen was oblivious to Xie Chenghui's meaningful glance. Stared at by Xie Chengjing, she felt as if under a spell, unable to look away even for a moment. She was locked in a silent, terrifying gaze into Xie Chengjing's cold, deep black eyes, feeling as if she were alone in another dimension with this devilish man, as if she were about to be frozen to death. It felt as if countless demons were howling in those eyes, then flying out and screaming to drag her to hell. Almost instantly, tears streamed down Su Wen's face as she screamed, "In 4909! In the 4909 staff break room! The one on the way to the women's restroom from the back!"

Xie Chengjing got the answer and immediately abandoned Su Wen and rushed out. Su Wen looked up in shock and saw her father-in-law Xie Chenghui's icy gaze. Her heart tightened instantly.

Xie Chengjing went outside and grabbed a waiter, "Take me to 4909."

The waiter stammered in response, struggling with her noodle-like legs to lead the man exuding murderous intent behind her. When they arrived at room 4909, she said, "We're...we're here," and ran away as if her life depended on it. Then she heard a loud "bang!" behind her. Turning around, she saw that the man had actually smashed open the sturdy hotel room door. The waiter was so frightened that she barely managed to run around the corner before collapsing to the ground.

Su Tong cautiously took out the food and drinks that were openly placed and available to almost all guests. After a while, she felt the urge to use the restroom. She asked a waiter and learned that it was just across a short corridor. She told Su Hui and went to the restroom by herself.

On her way back from the bathroom, as she passed a room, the door suddenly opened, and someone ran out and caught up with Su Tong, who was trying to run away. The person covered Su Tong's mouth and dragged her into the room. Su Tong struggled desperately for a bit, but to no avail, so she had no choice but to improvise.

The man who restrained her was a middle-aged man with a receding hairline, dressed in a well-tailored suit. He pressed Su Tong against the wall, his cloudy eyes scanning her flawless, beautiful face from head to toe. He then lewdly ran his hand over her waist, leaned in, and took a few deep, intoxicating sniffs of her neck, lecherously sighing, "That little slut, I never expected to give me such a fragrant beauty today, hahaha! Such a gem is going to be mine today!"

As he spoke, he took out a rope and began to tie it around Su Tong.

Su Tong felt so disgusted she almost vomited, wishing she could tear this lewd man to pieces. She frantically dodged the ropes, but said, "I don't know who you are, but if you dare to do anything to me, I won't swallow my pride for the sake of my reputation. I'll make sure you lose everything and are despised by the world!"

The middle-aged man paused, then stopped tying Su Tong up. His face contorted with rage. He bound the delicate beauty's hands with one hand, while stroking her face with the other. He said, "Ha, all the women I've slept with over the years, whether they were respectable women or chaste widows, none of them could control me. Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?" He reached for a camera on the bedside table and laughed, "Then I'll take pictures of you naked and put them online so everyone can enjoy them. Are you scared of that?"

Damn! This guy is a piece of trash who thinks being despicable is a skill.

"Besides," the middle-aged man rubbed against Su Tong with his penis, "being able to have sex with a stunning beauty like you even once would be worth it even if I were to be completely ruined!"

The middle-aged man closed the door and locked Su Tong and himself in the room. He originally wanted to make it easier for him to do his business, but it only made Su Tong feel more secure and she didn't even need to pretend to be polite to him. Just as he finished speaking and was about to tie Su Tong up, Su Tong showed him a stunningly beautiful smile that captivated him, and then she disappeared right in front of him.

The middle-aged man, Chu Changmao, was completely stunned. He had always preferred young and delicate girls, and after becoming a prominent figure in the city, he had slept with countless women over the years. After he tricked Su Wen and slept with her, Su Wen held a grudge against him ever since. It wasn't until he used his position to help Su Wen that the two formed a strange alliance. This time, Su Wen had asked him to come because he found the woman stunningly beautiful and couldn't resist the temptation, so he trusted Su Wen and came to her wedding reception to keep watch. But that little wench Su Wen hadn't mentioned any strange special abilities; the woman right in front of him had simply vanished!

Chu Changmao, clinging to a sliver of hope, reached for the spot where Su Tong had stood. Empty, completely bare! A chill ran down his spine. Could it be some kind of demon or monster?!

Seeing that Chu Changmao was about to tie her up, Su Tong immediately went into her spatial dimension. She grabbed a large iron shovel, one of the farming tools the three members of the Su family used in their spatial dimension. Looking at Chu Changmao's instantly terrified expression and wide-eyed stare, she saw his mouth gape open. After a long while, he turned and scanned the small room, his voice trembling as he called out, "Su Tong! Su Tong?! Where have you been? I see you! Stop playing tricks on me, come out! I won't do anything to you..."

Now! Su Tong thought to herself, "I need to leave this space!"

With a loud bang, Xie Chengjing burst through the door.

At the same time, Su Tong instantly appeared behind him, raised the iron shovel, and slammed it hard against the back of Chu Changmao's head!

Chu Changmao collapsed instantly.

Then, Su Tong, her hair slightly disheveled and panting, met Xie Chengjing's cold eyes as he rushed in from the doorway, still holding the iron shovel in his hand!
