Love Me Harder, Mr. Fu - Chapter 104

Everyone reaches the hotel at the same. Parking their cars in the parking lot, they step out from the car and head inside the hotel. Today the hotel is going to get crowded and the manager was overwhelmed that Shi Lian decided to do this in his hotel. The guards welcome them and the same does the receptionist/. The manager appears and spotting Shi Lian his eyes lit up and hurries to greet her.

“Welcome miss Shi Lian. Good morning” he greets with utmost professionalism.

“Good morning to you as well” she smiles. The manager is more concerned with the profit the hotel is going to make today more than the Mo corp working here.

The others wait behind her as she talks with the manager. After the manager spares her, she tells them to head straight to the hall and start their work. Ruxi informs that the models will be reaching shortly by now so as the PR department.

Since she steps inside this hotel, she cannot comprehend why is feeling uneasy as if something bad is going to happen. It is like the same when she was kidnapped. she does not want to think about it. She calms herself and reminds herself that it must be because she is nervous.

She heads for the hall since it is no longer needed. The hall is a huge one with many columns around it. It is very big and spacious. It has a stage at the end with a screen behind that. This is not for performance but for her to present her latest collection. The models will be wearing their collection and will walk down the stage and display the outfits. She told everyone to start the work and she looks around. Staff and others are rushing about getting things done. She also walks around to check if they are doing a good job or not.

Shi Lian heads for the stage to make sure everything is in place. Things are all in place. She just needs to wait for the models to arrive now.

Moments later, shrieks and yells come from the design room and head there to check. She asks what happened when she enters. She is shocked and stunned. Her dresses are torn apart and she is shocked to see this. She looks around and finds the half her dresses are shred. She is completely shocked and cannot believe this.

“What happened ?” she asks the rest of her team.

“We don’t know. We were in the hall arranging the stage and we came here to find the dresses as this” Ruxi informs her.

“Who did this ?”

“We do not know. We don’t think it was anyone from our team. We were all here when it happened.”

Shi Lian turns around and looks at the others. Everyone is in shock and disbelief. “Who could have done this ?” she asks again. She has a bad feeling about this and she does not understand why would anyone want to do this. She tells Ruxi to call the manager and tell him to be here as soon as possible.

She checks the rest of her dresses and finds another half of her dresses are shredded. The show is less than two hours from now and she doesn’t what to do now. Her intuition was right earlier, she shouldn’t have ignored it.

The models have reached as well. When they enter inside, they are shocked as well. Their eyes widen and they are as shocked and worry as Shi Lian. They all stand there in shock, not knowing what to do.

The manager enters some minutes later. He asks what happen and she explains. He is as shocked as well. “Miss, I do not know how this mishap has taken place. But I don’t think it is done by any of our staff.” The manager says. She Lian grows panicky and her fingers start to wiggle.

“Call the security and show me the CCTV” she demands.

The manager hurries to make the call and tells the security. The manager takes her to the security room. She tells Ruxi to handle her while she comes from the security.

“My god! Shi Lian, what are we going to do now?” Cai Li shows her fake concern. Shi Lian shoots her a look and follows the manager to the security room.

Cai Li smirks to herself as she walks away.

The security room is a small room with many monitors. All of them are turned on. The manager takes her to the monitor which shows the designs room. “Show me the footage of tomorrow” Shi Lian demands.

The manager asks the staff to open the footage but to all their surprise, the clip is deleted. It only shows up to the time they were here, not after they left.

“What is happening?” the manager asks the staff.

The man shakes his head, “No idea, Sir.” he tells him.

“What is this? How could the CCTV be deleted?” Shi Lian demands to know.

“I don’t know Miss.” The manager says and looks worried.

By watching the footage, she is sure that someone has done this after no one was there. But who?

She leaves the room and heads back to the hall. Her team is still there, standing and looking at each other. “What did you find? Who was it?” Ruxi asks as soon as she sees her.

“The CCTV footage has been deleted. There is no evidence to back up the claim of the dresses being destroyed. I don’t know what to do now.” she sighs. She is at loss with what to do.

Murmurs and whispers start among her team. They are all worried now.

“What do you mean deleted?” Ruxi asks. she runs her hand through her hair and looks at the others.

“It means that the person who did this has planned it well. He knows how to cover up his/her tracks.” Shi Lian says.

Cai Li cannot hide the satisfying smirk on her face as she watches Shi Lian in distress. Her father did a great job at handling the cameras or else she would be in grave danger by now. Before anyone can notice her, she brings her fake concerned face back.

Shi Lian needs to buckle her up and needs to think of a solution real quick. She needs to stop the show and think of a way to get her dresses repaired. It then comes to her mind that these are the copies of her dresses. The real ones are in the company. She looks and turns her head to the design team. Looking at their faces, she gets the idea that they are thinking the same thing as well.

“Holy shit” he mumbles and her mouth curves up into a smile. They share smiles hinting they know what to do. Cai Li and others are confused.

She steps forward and asks, “Why are smiling, cousin? Aren’t you going to conduct the show or have you given up?”

Shi Lian turns her head and looks at Cai Li. “Haven’t I told you to address me as Chairwoman when we are working?” she says in a cold voice.

She turns her attention back to the design team and says, “You know what to do. Go fast and bring them.”

They nod and taking some more people with them they head for the company. Ruxi cannot understand what is happening. “What are you planning to do?” she asks. She does not understand what is going on.

“You will find out very soon.” Shi Lian smiles. she is happy that her hunch was right.

Cai Li bites her nails, getting worried. She does not know what Shi Lian has in mind. Noticing her getting worked up, Shi Lian asks her, “Why are you so worried?” she says in a mocking tone.

Cai Li cannot hide her worry and ignoring Shi Lian she goes to the other side of the room. She can only for the team to be back and see what she has planned. Shi Lian watches her for a while and turns away.

Shi Lian now needs to think about who did this. She is not sure about anyone here, anyone could have done this so she needs to stay alert. But the conversations of her uncle and Cai Li come to mind and she is bound to think about it. Did her uncle plan all this? She has no proof to back up her guess, but she cannot stop thinking about it. She does not know what to do now.

Sneak peek of chapter 104:-

“How can this be possible?” Cai Li cannot hide the surprise meant in her voice. She thought she have destroyed it but looking at it now, she is confused.

“Why are you so shocked? You should be happy instead” Shi Lian says, waiting to see her reaction. She does have her doubt about her but she does not have the proof.

“N-nothing… How did you?” she cannot even say out the full sentence because her plan has failed.
