He dropped the phone, picked up his clothes and went to take a shower.
However, just at that moment, the doorbell rang.
He froze and asked, "Who is it?"
No one answered outside. He frowned and walked over to open the door. However, as soon as the door opened, before he could see who was standing outside, someone threw some strange white powder violently at him.
He just felt something very pungent, and then he completely lost consciousness.
On the other side, when Wanda had just returned home, she saw her mom walk out.
Although the Kawn family was very influential, Wanda's family, only remotely related to them, did not enjoy any real convenience.
Because Wanda's father had no desire to make progress, he was ignored by the Kawn family all the time.
At present, he did some retail business. His favorite thing was drinking and playing cards with his friends.
Wanda's mother, Ciara, was a middle school teacher. Although her family was not well-off, she was very gentle and virtuous. Anyway, they lived a happy life.
Seeing that her mother was still neatly dressed at this late hour, Wanda wondered, "Mom, are you going out?"
Ciara sighed, "Your father and some friends are playing cards at the hotel. He told me that he had no cash at hand, so he asked me to send him some."
Wanda frowned.
"It's so late. Is he still playing cards?"
"Yes. Your father wants to develop in the real estate industry recently. He takes a fancy to a piece of land in the south of the city and wants to buy it with your uncles, so he invited several people in the bureau to have dinner. If they want to play, he must accompany them."
Hearing that, Wanda turned her head and saw the dark night outside through the window, she felt a little worried.
She thought about it and said in a deep voice, "Give it to me! I'll go there."
Ciara looked at her, feeling a little worried, "Are you sure? It's so late."
"Your eyesight is poor. If I can't, you can't either. I'll drive there. Nothing would happen. Just wait for me at home. I'll be back soon."
Ciara then agreed.
Wanda took the money and went straight out.
Half an hour later, she arrived at the hotel her mother told her.
Looking at the glorious hotel name in front of her, she couldn't help but feel stunned.
How could it be here? Wasn't this the place where Louis held his birthday party today?
She didn't think it would be such a coincidence. In just a few hours, she was back again.
But she didn't think much about it, and with her head down, she hurriedly walked in the guest room department.
After exiting the elevator, she took out her cell phone to call her dad, but for some reason, the cell phone suddenly lost its signal.
She frowned and looked at the "no signal" displayed on her mobile phone. She had no choice but to recall what her mother said before going out and moved on.
Just then, however, the door of a nearby room was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and then she saw a man stumbling out.
She was startled and immediately took a step back. After the man ran closer, she identified this man and felt so surprised.
It was Louis!
She hurriedly ran over, grabbed Louis's hand, and asked, "Louis, what happened to you?"
Louis raised his head and stared at her. His eyes were so scarlet.
