Chapter 133: Chapter 126: Beauty Saves the Hero (1)
Dizzy and disoriented…
Zhan Qipei shook his head and looked ahead, his vision distorted, barely able to see the person in front of him, only faintly hearing Lan Yinyin’s voice.
“President Zhan, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?”
As Lan Yinyin spoke, she stood up and walked towards Zhan Qipei.
Zhan Qipei shook his head again, trying to clear his mind, but the more he shook his head, the dizzier he became.
Not only that, his body felt as if it were on fire, spreading from below his navel throughout his body, and finally rushing to his brain, causing his consciousness to disperse more and more.
Lan Yinyin’s voice still resounded incessantly beside his ear.
“President Zhan? President Zhan? Are you okay? Let me help you back to your room to rest.”
After Lan Yinyin spoke, she restrained the excitement in her heart and reached out her hand toward Zhan Qipei. Just as she was about to touch him, Zhan Qipei suddenly stood up and fiercely kicked her in the abdomen.
“Ah—” Lan Yinyin cried out in pain, kneeling on the ground while clutching her abdomen, large beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead.
Lan Yinyin was startled, and it was only due to her special training that she wasn’t completely incapacitated by Zhan Qipei’s kick.
Thinking this, Lan Yinyin’s face twisted with rage, wishing she could kill Zhan Qipei.
At that moment, Zhan Qipei, struggling to sustain his shaky body, walked toward the door.
This was bad! Lan Yinyin internally exclaimed and, ignoring the excruciating pain in her abdomen that felt like it was tearing apart, hurriedly scrambled up from the ground and chased after Zhan Qipei.
“President Zhan, you shouldn’t wander around in this state. Let me help you back to your room first. I’m a doctor, let me look at you.”
Lan Yinyin deliberately said this to lower Zhan Qipei’s guard. She was just going to examine him, nothing more.
At the same time, she was internally shocked and astonished. She had applied a hefty amount of a substance to her ring. Fifth Master had said that this medicine was extraordinary, that not just any man, but even a big bull, would go mad and lose both reason and consciousness upon exposure to this substance.
Yet—looking at Zhan Qipei again, his eyes were bloodshot, veins throbbing on his forehead, and those veins spreading down his neck into his shirt.
Despite being in such a state, he was still able to reject her advances. Was his physique even stronger than a bull’s?
Just as Zhan Qipei’s hand was about to touch the doorknob, Lan Yinyin rushed toward him desperately.
She absolutely couldn’t let him get out!
Otherwise, the plan would be completely ruined!
Just at that critical moment, a “click—” sound.
Upon hearing the noise from outside the door, Lan Yinyin immediately stopped her movements and stared wide-eyed at the tightly shut door.
A second later, the door was pulled open from the outside, and Qiao Jing was just about to enter when, in the next second, Zhan Qipei held her tightly in his embrace.
Qiao Jing blinked in bewilderment, what was going on?
“You—”
Before Qiao Jing could ask, she heard an unusually heavy, rough breathing sound pressing against her earlobe.
Not only that, the man’s robust chest heaved irregularly, his whole body seeming as if it were boiling water, scalding to the touch.
As a doctor, Qiao Jing quickly deduced what had happened to the man.
Squinting her eyes, which carried a cool chill, she looked at Lan Yinyin standing in the room.
Now she understood even better what had happened.
“Did you drug him?” A cold voice emerged from Qiao Jing’s mouth, her tone flat and unvarying.
“I didn’t!” Lan Yinyin adamantly denied, “I just brought coffee over. I was planning to discuss business with him, but unexpectedly he turned into this. I didn’t drug the coffee. If you don’t believe me, you can send the coffee to the hospital for a laboratory test. Besides, President Zhan didn’t seem to have drunk the coffee. He really just suddenly became like this.”
Zhan Qipei was barely holding on, his hands starting to misbehave on Qiao Jing’s body.
“Stop moving, or I’ll throw you on the ground,” Qiao Jing said, her furrowed brows filled with irritation.
It wasn’t surprising she was angry, for the man’s hand had already reached inside her clothes, touching her back…
“Huff—huff—” Zhan Qipei gritted his teeth and endured the pain, stopping his actions.
Seeing that Zhan Qipei was somewhat obedient, Qiao Jing didn’t continue to fuss over it.
Moreover, as a doctor, she was very clear that Zhan Qipei’s condition was very bad, even worse than the last time he had been poisoned at the banquet.
That he still had some remaining consciousness to listen to her was already the greatest strain on himself.
Lan Yinyin watched Zhan Qipei become increasingly puzzled, thinking that by now, Qipei should have been completely overwhelmed by the drug, so why did he still possess his reasoning, and moreover, follow Qiao Jing’s words so obediently?
She told him not to move, and he just didn’t move? The situation looked like a man without status in a family who was afraid of his wife.
“Qiao Jing, President Zhan can’t hold on much longer. I am a doctor from a top-tier hospital, as you know. We can’t delay any further; give him to me, I need to treat him immediately,” Lan Yinyin said as she stepped forward and reached out to grab Zhan Qipei.
“Get lost.” The word came out of Qiao Jing’s mouth.
Lan Yinyin shrank back instinctively, Qiao Jing’s voice was too alarmingly scary.
How could she have such a terrifying aura? Wasn’t she just a country bumpkin from the countryside? But she wasn’t the same anymore; she was a fearsome entity nurtured by Fifth Master, ruthless and fierce, stopping at nothing to achieve her goals.
Moreover, she had blood on her hands.
Fifth Master intentionally had her stained with blood to cultivate a vicious nature within her.
Yet here she was, completely intimidated by Qiao Jing…
Never mind that for now. She wouldn’t easily get such a golden opportunity again. If she missed it, even if she adamantly denied it, without evidence, Zhan Qipei might still become wary of her in the future.
“Qiao Jing, don’t be foolish. Trust me, I’m not that kind of person. If I were, when I saved him last time, I would have already done ‘that’ to him.”
Qiao Jing’s icy gaze swept over Lan Yinyin, and then, ignoring her, she helped Zhan Qipei walk towards the room.
Lan Yinyin’s eyes widened at the scene, wondering what Qiao Jing was planning. She wasn’t planning to take advantage of Zhan Qipei, was she?
If that was the case, wouldn’t she just be making the wedding dress for Qiao Jing?
Damn it!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lan Yinyin cursed inwardly and once again rushed toward Qiao Jing.
“Qiao Jing, hand him over to me! I absolutely won’t stand by and watch you take advantage of President Zhan in his vulnerable state. I hate it when people exploit others’ weaknesses the most.”
After putting Zhan Qipei on the bed, Qiao Jing stepped forward, confronting Lan Yinyin directly.
What now?
Was she about to start a fight?
Just with you?
Lan Yinyin scoffed internally, alright! Since you’re asking for it, don’t blame me for not showing any mercy!
Lan Yinyin had long wanted to teach Qiao Jing a lesson, and now seizing the chance, she raised her hand to slap Qiao Jing across the face without a second thought.
But as soon as her hand was raised, she saw Qiao Jing’s hand swiftly rise, and without a word, she slapped Lan Yinyin’s face back and forth with a resounding “smack—smack—”, each a slap on each cheek.
