However, even though the two n were in so much pain they couldn’t speak, their mocking gazes remained fixed on Liu Ergou. The ssage was clear: without the antidote, what are you going to do now? Your only option is to wait for death.
Understanding their thoughts, Liu Ergou laughed and shook his head. "Two frogs in a well. Since you’re so curious about what I’m going to do next, I won’t keep it a secret. I’ll let you two have a good look and see just how I cure Hu Jing of the poison!"
With that, Liu Ergou produced three silver needles from inside his shirt. In the next second, the needles flew out, flashing like silver light before embedding themselves in Hu Jing’s chest. Liu Ergou then gave them a gentle flick.
The three silver needles imdiately began to buzz, vibrating intensely for a full two or three minutes before finally stopping.
Seeing the needles co to a rest, Liu Ergou grabbed Hu Jing’s finger and gently pricked it with one of them. A second later, a stream of black blood sprayed out. In less than half a minute, the black blood had completely drained.
At that mont, the drowsy Hu Jing regained consciousness. Seeing Liu Ergou in front of her, she was overjoyed. "Er Gou, I thought I was dreaming! I can’t believe you really ca!"
With that, she clung to Liu Ergou like an octopus.
Liu Ergou chuckled and asked, "Hu Jing, don’t be in such a rush to hug . Let ask you, do you rember what just happened? Think carefully, then take a look at these two n."
Hearing Liu Ergou’s words, Hu Jing imdiately turned her head to look at the two on the ground. When she saw them, she cried out in shock. "Senior? Boss Li? What happened to you two?"
Then, Hu Jing began to recall the earlier events. "I rember my senior invited out to eat. I had a couple of beers, and after that, I felt dizzy... I can’t rember anything else!"
After saying this, comprehension dawned on her. Looking at the two n on the ground, her eyes imdiately filled with disgust. "You two drugged ?!"
The two on the ground were in too much pain to speak, completely unable to answer her.
Standing to the side, Liu Ergou spoke up. "What else could it be? If I hadn’t happened to pass by today, you would have already fallen into soone else’s hands!"
Looking at the two n on the floor and then at Liu Ergou beside her, Hu Jing felt a wave of post-traumatic fear. If she hadn’t run into him today, she would likely be in a bed right now, and it was horrifyingly clear what would have happened next. At this thought, Hu Jing shivered uncontrollably.
Liu Ergou then asked, "Hu Jing, what exactly happened? I heard from the villagers that you ca to the city. What then?"
Hearing his question, Hu Jing sighed. "Sigh, what else? It’s that batch of genetically modified corn causing trouble again. I don’t know why, but all the stalks started wilting from the roots up. I tried everything, but nothing worked. I had no choice but to call my professor, who told my senior had a solution. And well, you know the rest!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn’t help but say, "Sigh, Hu Jing, you just don’t listen. I told you that batch of genetically modified corn was no good, but you didn’t believe . Look at you! You almost threw your entire life away for that corn!"
As soon as Hu Jing heard this, she shook her head repeatedly. "Hey, you can’t say that! The real problem is that I ran into scumbags like them! What was I supposed to do?"
Seeing her stubbornness, Liu Ergou was about to say more, but just then, the police arrived. They entered the hotel room and imdiately hauled the two n off the floor. They had intended to take Liu Ergou and Hu Jing to the station to give a statent, but one of the officers recognized Liu Ergou. After Liu Ergou briefly explained the situation, they let the pair go. Soon after, the police squad left the hotel.
Staring at the room, now missing a door, Hu Jing let out a long sigh. "Sigh, I was already short on money, and now I’ll have to pay for this!"
Her words made Liu Ergou burst out laughing. "Hahaha, why would I let you pay?" he said with a smile. "I’ll go down and pay for the damages in a bit. What you should be thinking about now is what you’re going to do."
To Liu Ergou’s surprise, upon hearing his words, Hu Jing didn’t hesitate for a mont before throwing herself into his arms. Then, she said coyly, "What else can I do? It’s just like in the old stories. You saved my life, so naturally, I must offer myself to you in return! As for when... how about tonight?"
After speaking, Hu Jing tilted her head up and looked at Liu Ergou with anticipation. However, to her complete astonishnt, Liu Ergou actually refused her proposition.
"Forget it. In your current state, you should be resting, not offering yourself to . Besides, I have things to do tonight. Soone else is waiting for , I..."
Before Liu Ergou could finish, his phone rang again. He held up a hand to silence her and answered the call. "Hello? Jia Jia, what’s up?"
From the other end, Han Jiajia’s coquettish voice replied, "What else? I’m so bored here in the hotel all by myself. Er Gou, hurry over and keep company, okay? Don’t you dare tell you don’t have ti. If you say you don’t have ti, then don’t ever bother seeing again!"
With that, Han Jiajia hung up without giving him a chance to respond.
Liu Ergou stared at his phone, a helpless, wry smile on his face. Well, I’m indeed quite busy. My schedule is packed. This is so frustrating.
At that mont, Liu Ergou suddenly rembered sothing Orange Bear had ntioned to him before: building a resort village in his own village. Although they’d call it a resort village, in reality... hehehe.
Thinking of this, Liu Ergou began to look forward to when his own resort could be completed. This made him let out another sigh.
"Sigh!"
He then turned to look at Hu Jing, who was still in his arms. "You heard that, Hu Jing. See? My schedule is completely booked. There’s nothing I can do. You’ll be going back to the village anyway, so you can’t run off. Just wait for there. When I get back, we can talk in more detail!"
