Reborn As Super Heiress-Chapter 1738 - 1641: Time Gap

Huang Jingwen was busy contacting a familiar person, while on the other side, Su Lingxue also took out her phone and secretly sent messages to several reporters she had arranged beforehand.

"Reporter Song, have you arrived yet?"

"Reporter Xia, I’m ready here. Once you arrive, just wait in the lobby. When I send you a message, you can come up."

"Editor-in-Chief Yu, I’ve made some time now and can give you the exclusive interview soon. Are you at the hotel yet?"

"..."

Messages were sent to several reporters, but Su Lingxue was baffled when she didn’t receive any replies.

If one person doesn’t reply, it might be due to some delay, but for so many people not to reply, that’s a bit odd.

A tinge of unease flashed through Su Lingxue’s mind. She was about to sneak into the restroom to call those people to confirm, but suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Huang Jingwen was taken aback and instinctively glanced at Su Lingxue.

Su Lingxue thought it might be one of the reporters not understanding the rules, coming upstairs without her notification, and frowned slightly. Nonetheless, she got up and walked to the door, opening it.

As she opened the door, Su Lingxue was feeling a bit guilty, intending to first send the reporters downstairs to wait, so that when the anti-drug team came up, she could then lead the reporters upstairs.

But what puzzled Su Lingxue was that upon opening the door, there was no one in the corridor.

Confused, she was about to close the door when suddenly something tapped her shoulder, causing her to jump in fright, ready to ask who it was, but in the next instant, she vanished from the door.

Seizing the opportunity to cloak herself, Huo Sining quietly slipped into Su Lingxue’s suite.

Over there, Huang Jingwen was still on the phone with that familiar person from the anti-drug team:

"I’ve already transferred the ten thousand yuan to your wife’s account. After it’s done, the remaining ten thousand will be sent to you."

"Of course, I’ve mentioned this before. You don’t need to be directly involved, otherwise you’d be suspected. Just support it a bit. When it’s eventually exposed, if reporters come to interview, tell them honestly."

"Don’t worry, they won’t trace it back to you..."

As Huang Jingwen finished speaking, she sensed something amiss behind her. She thought Su Lingxue had returned and was about to turn and ask her who knocked on the door when suddenly, like Su Lingxue, she disappeared from the room.

Huo Sining directly collected the two of them into her space, intrigued by Huang Jingwen’s phone conversation she overheard. While she didn’t know who Huang Jingwen was instructing, she was certain the person on the phone was related to Huang Jingwen’s upcoming plans.

Yu Fei had already been monitoring Huang Jingwen’s calls, so Huo Sining was in no hurry to find out whom Huang Jingwen was in contact with. She planned to settle accounts with everyone involved when it was over, so why rush?

The immediate priority was to deliver the "evidence."

Huo Sining scanned the room, her gaze finally landing on Su Lingxue’s LV personal purse, her lips curling slightly.

After dealing with the box of "Pearl Powder," Huo Sining didn’t delay, releasing Huang Jingwen from the Space, and quickly stepping out, putting Su Lingxue back at the door’s original position, she then retreated quietly into the corridor.

Time in the Space is frozen, so what Huo Sining did went unnoticed by the two.

Huang Jingwen, while chatting with the deputy captain of the anti-drug team, suddenly felt a breeze behind her. She turned to look but didn’t notice anything unusual. When she looked down, her phone, which was in a call, had inexplicably lost signal, emitting two beeping sounds before the line disconnected.

Huang Jingwen felt a twinge of strangeness but shrugged it off as poor hotel signal.

Previously, Huang Jingwen had experienced sudden signal loss while making calls in the hotel.

This was Meishan Film and Television Base, quite a distance from the city center. Despite the development due to the base, it’s still a remote area, so poor phone signal is quite normal, thus Huang Jingwen didn’t give it much thought.

She didn’t know that her call was forcefully cut off.

Being collected into Huo Sining’s storage ring caused her phone signal to be blocked, leading to the call’s disconnection.

No matter how imaginative Huang Jingwen might be, she couldn’t possibly guess someone had stealthed into their room, transporting her into a time-frozen space.

Seeing the call was cut, Huang Jingwen didn’t give it much thought and walked toward the foyer, curiously asking Su Lingxue, "Who knocked on the door just now?"

Standing at the door, Su Lingxue was bewildered.

She clearly heard the knock and felt someone tap her shoulder, but upon looking back, the corridor was empty, not a soul in sight.

This was truly puzzling!

Su Lingxue felt uneasy but couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

Seeing Huang Jingwen approaching, she feared Huang Jingwen might discover she secretly contacted reporters, so she hastily shook her head and said, "No one, just a mistaken knock."

Huang Jingwen suspected nothing, nodded, and said, "Close the door; I’ve contacted the anti-drug team. Everything is set; let’s enjoy the show."

Despite Huo Sining’s brief presence in the suite, neither Huang Jingwen nor Su Lingxue noticed they had been temporarily gone for three precious minutes.

If Huang Jingwen had been more alert, she might have realized there was a time discrepancy between her phone and Su Lingxue’s.

However, their focus and attention were entirely on Huo Sining next door, anticipating the anti-drug police’s arrival and watching Huo Sining’s inevitable disgrace, so they wouldn’t notice the time difference on their phones.
