Xu Ke didn’t know what Lin ngyao was thinking, he just watched her face turn red once more. Frightened, he stood up from the floor, bending over to pull Lin ngyao out of the bathtub.
"What are you doing?" Lin ngyao was startled by Xu Ke’s sudden action, and asked with a puzzled look.
"I see your face has turned red again. Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Let take you to the hospital." Xu Ke said as he reached out to Lin ngyao, but his hand was slapped away midway.
"You fool, I’m fine, just leave. I’ll be fine after soaking a bit more." Lin ngyao turned her face aside, refusing to look at Xu Ke, and said angrily and embarrassed.
Seeing Lin ngyao’s reaction, Xu Ke ca to his senses and couldn’t help but smile. "Then I’ll leave for now. Call if you need anything. Don’t soak in cold water for too long, take care." After reminding Lin ngyao, Xu Ke left the bathroom. As he closed the bathroom door, his smile faded completely, turning into a terrifyingly grim expression.
No matter who the other party was, he would not let them off the hook.
Xu Ke clenched his fists, feeling a mont of weakness wash over him, but the feeling disappeared completely in less than a minute.
Looking at his fists, Xu Ke flashed a slightly sinister smile. He knew the people behind the scenes were about to make their move.
His body had been modified when he was with the Xu Family, giving him strong drug resistance. He was immune to most dications available on the market or the black market, with the effects disappearing in less than a minute.
The drug should have been effective now, but for so reason, Lin ngyao’s reaction occurred earlier. Nonetheless, taking Lin ngyao for a check-up could wait; now, he wanted to play with the rats lurking around.
Xu Ke re-entered the bathroom to remind Lin ngyao a bit more, turned off everything in the room to create the illusion of being asleep, and then hid in the wardrobe, leaving a small gap to observe the bed and bedroom door. On the bed, he had arranged clothes and towels to look like a human figure.
Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing!
Shortly after Xu Ke hid in the wardrobe, there was a faint sound at the bedroom door. The next second, two shadows, one tall and one short, entered from outside.
"I could have handled this myself, why did you have to tag along?" Despite the male voice being lowered, Xu Ke recognized him as one of the n Lin ngxi brought today, supposedly a classmate. By now, it was obvious who the culprits were.
"Of course, I want to capture this mont for posterity. What? Tired of getting in the way? Don’t forget, if it weren’t for , you wouldn’t have had a chance with Lin ngyao. You’ve barely crossed the river and already want to tear down the bridge?" The woman stopped and mocked her companion while looking sideways at him.
The voice wasn’t anyone else’s; it was Lin ngxi’s.
"How could I? I’m just worried it’s dark in here, you might bump into sothing, and I’d feel bad if you got hurt." The man tried to flatter Lin ngxi, but she slapped his hand away loudly.
A sharp sound echoed in the silent bedroom, nearly scaring the man to death. "Are you crazy, making such a noise? What if they wake up?"
"Look at you, the scaredy-cat. I’ve drugged Xu Ke; there’s no way he’ll wake up. Why are you afraid? All you need to do is move Lin ngyao, who’s been drugged with an aphrodisiac, to your room, have your fun, and then get caught in the act. You don’t have to worry about anything else. I’ll transfer the money to your account once it’s done. Now stop talking and get to work." Lin ngxi urged.
"Alright, as long as you say so." The man said as he rolled up his sleeves, heading towards the bed.
The next second, the gray blanket was pulled back, revealing the rolled-up towels and clothes underneath.
"The person is gone." Not seeing anyone on the bed, the man’s face turned ashen.
"Where is she?" Lin ngxi’s expression was equally bad, her dainty and long eyebrows furrowed like two worms, looking very unpleasant.
"Are you looking for ?" Xu Ke erged silently from the wardrobe, behind the two of them, and before they could turn to the sound, Xu Ke delivered a chop to each of them, their bodies thudding heavily to the ground.
"Did you catch them? Who was it?" Li ngyao had changed out of her soaked clothes and erged from the bathroom, wrapped in a robe.
"It was Lin ngxi and her male classmate. I’ll handle this. The clothes are on the bed, put more on. There’s dicine on the nightstand, find it and take it. I’ll drag these two out and handle them." Xu Ke said, dragging the two by their legs.
"Mm, co back soon." Lin ngyao paused while drying her hair and replied softly.
"Alright, you soaked in cold water for so long, don’t wait up for . Take the dicine and rest early. I’ll be back soon."
Xu Ke promised to return soon, but by the ti he actually returned, nearly an hour had passed, and Li ngyao had succumbed to fatigue and fallen asleep.
The two were awakened the next day by a piercing scream, the shrill sound shattering what little sleep they had.
"What’s the matter?" Lin ngyao asked groggily with a nasal tone, half-opening her eyes.
Even after taking the dication, she had caught a cold, her body weak and unwilling to move.
"The show I planned is starting. Do you want to see it, or keep sleeping?" Xu Ke lay beside Lin ngyao, tucking the blanket around her as he asked.
"Let’s go have a look. It would be a pity to miss it." Thinking about her long soak in cold water the previous day, Lin ngyao felt she had regained so strength and imdiately got up from the bed, walking out in her slippers, albeit unsteadily.
Watching Lin ngyao’s back, Xu Ke chuckled softly and followed her.
By the ti they arrived, the door was surrounded by a crowd, making it impossible to see what was happening inside. Lin ngyao anxiously stood on tiptoe, but could only see heads.
"Can’t see anything." Lin ngyao pouted, whispering in complaint.
Xu Ke pinched her pouting lips and pulled back before she could hit him. Satisfied to have her attention, he smiled and pulled a servant aside who had been standing there, asking, "What’s happening? Why are so many people gathered here so early?"
The servant greeted Lin ngyao and Xu Ke before replying in a gossiping tone, "It’s Miss ngxi and the male classmate she brought yesterday. They’re, well, doing it without closing the door properly. Even their screams have drawn all these people. The two of them are still at it inside. Really, never thought Miss ngxi was this kind of person. Heaven help us if the old lady sees this."
As the saying goes, people appear when they’re talked about. No sooner had the servant ntioned the old lady than she appeared with a face like thunder, "What are you all standing here for with nothing to do? Get moving!"
The old lady’s words dispersed the crowd of onlookers at the door, who left like quails with their heads ducked.
"When did you two arrive?" Old Madam Lin looked at Xu Ke and Lin ngyao with displeasure.
