The soldier wasted no time in carrying out the orders of his General and in no time, he was out of the hall and on his way to the private hospital located adjacent to the Grand hotel.

Back at the hall, a lot more guests finally arrived at the center of the drama including Xia Yueyu, Ding Weimin's father, Ding Wang, Yang Zhi and a lot of others.

Jin Yusheng also made his way over -to the annoyance of Yang Xiang- but he didn't stay for long and in the next second, he slowly walked away.

"What is going on here?" Xia Yueyu asked with a tight frown and after a guest nearby gave a quick rundown of events, she turned to Yang Liqin with blazing eyes. "It's already bad enough that you Yangs tried to ruin my son's reputation. Now you even tried to drug him?!"

"Tsk. How despicable." A person added at the side.

Yang Liqin shook her head desperately. "I didn't.... I really didn't..." She finally caught sight of her father and then she began wailing. "Father~"

Yang Zhi felt anger blaze through him. How could Yang Liqin be so stupid as to ruin everything?! How did she even find out about the drug in the first place? If it was discovered that he'd bought the drug then he would surely go to jail. Not just that, a dishonorable discharge from the army would get to him first.

Just how did things develop into the way they were now?

He turned to Xia Yueyu with an ingratiating smile. "Mrs. Xia, there must have been a mistake somewhere.. Just now, a lot of people were surrounding this table. How can you be so sure that it was my daughter who slipped a drug into General Ding's wine? It could have been anybody!"

The guests who had been there earlier all turned to glare at Yang Zhi. What did the man mean by his words? The famous manager scoffed at him. "Your words would have made a lot of sense if your daughter didn't already admit to putting something in the wine herself!"

Yang Zhi felt the blood drain from his face. Yang Liqin had admitted to drugging the wine? How could she be so foolish?!

He was doomed. Completely doomed.

No.

He took a deep breath. There was still a chance. Yang Liqin was the one caught with the drug and he'd gotten the drug anonymously so as long as he vehemently denied it, he could save his neck.

As for Yang Liqin. Yes she would end up in jail but she was young and since she hadn't succeeded, it was possible that she would be given the lightest punishment which would be jail time for about three to five years. That was not too much.

Letting her take the fall was the safest option.

With that thought, Yang Zhi hardened his resolve and glared at his last child in shock. "You had tried to drug the General?! Just where did you get such a substance from?!"

Yang Liu felt her heart turn cold as she watched her father abandon Yang Liqin. If she'd been the one to fail, would he also have....? She shuddered.

Yang Liqin, on the other hand, couldn't believe what she'd just heard. Yes she'd tried to drug the general but... "Wasn't this your idea in the first place?" She asked as tears streamed down her face.

The eyes of everyone widened as Yang Zhi roared, "SHUT UP!" And dashed forward.

Jin Qi sneered at Yang Zhi and effortlessly pulled Yang Liqin backwards as the young lady also screamed, "I'M NOT SHUTTING UP! You had planned this all out with Yang Liu. I had only snatched the drugs from Yang Liu's purse!"

Before everyone could comprehend Yang Liqin's words,

SLAP!

SLAP!

SLAP!

Yang Liu walked up from behind, held Yang Liqin's other arm and delivered three heavy slaps in succession on her younger sister's face. How could she not? Yang Liqin was clearly trying to implicate her! She sneered. "Whose purse did you take what from? You clearly tried to drug General Ding. What does that have to do with me?!"

She didn't feel any remorse. After all, even their father had abandoned Yang Liqin.

Yang Liqin wailed loudly as loud murmurings ensued again. The people who had taken out their phones to record had mocking smiles on their faces as they recorded the misfortune of others.

Yang Zhi glared at Yang Liqin in pure anger. He desperately wished to throttle her neck for being so stupid but did not dare make a move since she was still tightly held by Lieutenant Jin.

At that moment, the soldier returned with a grave looking scientist.

Ding Weimin looked to the scientist. "What kind of drug was it?"

"This," The scientist hesitated nervously as his eyes moved around the hall. "Well it was an aphrodisiac." A lot of people nodded. 'It seems the Yang girl was telling the truth,' but then the scientist continued, "Specifically... the AO6 hallucinogenic aphrodisiac."

Gasps rang out throughout the hall at that. The AO6 H. Aphrodisiac was a drug that had been released to the public three years ago. Due to its hallucinogenic nature, it increased the number of sexual assaults in the Plexar Planets by 8 percent!

A single drug doing that was a great feat and so it had been unanimously banned in all Planets. To think that this Yang girl had somehow managed to get her hands on it and even worse, planned to use it on General Ding. So disgusting.

Jin Qi scowled and the hand holding Yang Liqin tightened even more. She also glared at Yang Liu so hard that the eldest Yang released Yang Liqin's other arm and took three steps back in fear. "How bold."

Yang Liqin looked at her red wrist and squirmed in pain with tears streaming down her swollen face. "I didn't mean to. I really didn't mean to. I only stole the drugs from Yang Liu's purse~"

"YOU STILL HAVE THE NERVE TO TALK?!" Yang Zhi roared again and was about to rushed forwards once more but suddenly stopped when a group of uniformed men walked into the hall.

Xia Yueyu smiled. "The Federation Police are finally here." She's ben the one to ckntact them even before the scientost came in. She sneered as she pointed at Yang Liqin, "That's the person's in possession of harmful drugs."

The uniformed men acted immediately.

"NO! I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN TO! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO JAIL, I'M INNOCENT! ALL I DID WAS TAKE A FEW PACKETS FROM YANG LIU'S PURSE, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT WAS!"

Everyone watched as two officers stepped forward and cuffed a screaming Yang Liqin before dragging her away.

A different officer walked towards Yang Liu and another walked towards Yang Zhi and said politely, "Colonel Yang, it would be appreciated if you came with us for questioning."

Nothing had been confirmed yet and there was no telling whether Yang Liu and Yang Zhi truly had anything to do with the drug. Also, Yang Zhi was an army official so they couldn't act rashly.

Since it was in the middle of the 'widely loved' Ding Weimin's engagement party, Ding Wang was able to secretely convince the Federation police to question the Yangs first while Ding Weimin, Jin Qi and other witnesses could show up later.

Once the Yangs were taken away, Xia Yueyu looked to the other guests with an apologetic smile. "We're deeply sorry for the interruption but I'm sure we already know what kind of people the Yangs are. Why don't we go back to the celebration?"

Sounds of agreements rang out and the celebration continued on as usual.

Outside the Grand hotel, the reporters who had hung behind were shocked to see Yang Liqin being dragged out by two Federation police officers whilst Yang Zhi and Yang Liu were being escorted by another two.

It hadn't even been up to an hour since the party started. With no concept, they had no choice but to settle on taking pictures as they waited on the guests inside to come out so they could look for ways to get a scoop of the news.

In a dark corner of the street, Yang Xiang stared as her father and sisters were led into a hover van with a mixture of fear and annoyance. Less than thirty minutes ago, she'd managed to successfully switch Jun Yusheng's wine with the one she'd drugged and when she saw a commotion with Yang Liqin at the center, she had thought that her younger sister was holding up her end of the deal.

She watched in annoyance as Jin Yusheng walked over to the commotion and she also saw the moment the drug kicked in and he walked out. She was about to follow him out of the hall when she caught wind of what was truly going on.

Yang Liqin had gotten herself caught!

When Yang Liqin panicked and started explaining the source of the drugs, Yang Xiang had also panicked and quickly slipped away from the Grand hall. How could she not? What if she remained and got implicated by Yang Liqin? Besides, the news would likely get out tomorrow.

If she had managed to sleep with Jin Yusheng, that boss of hers would surely put two and two together tomorrow and realize that he'd been drugged by her!

After a while of staring in regret at having lost her chance, Yang Xiang patted her chest and quickly booked a hover car home. There was no way she was going over to the station. Yang Liqin was such a brat. What if the girl saw her and decided to implicate her too out of anger?

----------------------------

In the hall, He Yuan kept his eyes trained on Ding Weimin. During the commotion a while ago, he'd managed to get close enough to the special one no. 1 and slipped a few of his needles into the man's body.

Initally, He'd been a bit taken aback when the whole matter blew up. Not out of shock because of Yang Zhi's 'supposedly brilliant' plan but out of amusement that the Yang head had thought that his half baked plan was full proof.

His eyes roamed around the hall but he couldn't find 888. He frowned. "888?"

The system's reply came immediately, [Hm?]

"Where are you?"

There was laughter in 888's voice as he replied. [I'm around. I'll tell you when you get done with Ding Weimin.]

He Yuan raised a brow. "Alright." He was much more at ease after hearing the system's voice. Normally, it was impossible for 888 to not be within 10 metres of him when in a task realm but after he became an intermediate Tasker, the contract bond between them had received more flexibility and the limitation had gone from 10 to 100 metres.

So technically, 888 was most probably somewhere in or around the hall. He just couldn't spot him.

At that moment, Ding Weimin whispered something into Jin Qi's ear and said a few words to the people surrounding them before walking out of the hall.
