Chapter 28 So what if she took advantage of my kindness?

Xia Yuhuan pondered in her heart, her ears perked up, listening intently to the conversation inside.

"Don't worry, he's already been infected. I've had someone take him to the leftmost room on the second floor."

“Go to the room on the left side of the second floor, away from everyone. Once you’ve consummated your relationship, I’ll come up and catch you in the act. If he doesn’t want to be labeled a pervert and have his future ruined, he’ll have to marry you,” Xia Jianyong said.

"That's wonderful, thank you, Dad. Once I get married, I'll definitely find a way to get the Chi family to help our family," Xia Zhuyu said happily.

Xia Yuhuan frowned upon hearing this.

So Xia Jianyong drugged Chi Zhenghao, intending to force Xia Zhuyu to have sex with him, and then catch them in the act. That way, even if Chi Zhenghao didn't want to marry Xia Zhuyu, he would have no choice but to marry her.

After all, these days, being labeled a hooligan can ruin your future, and in serious cases, it can get you shot!

Xia Zhuyu was able to use her marriage to Chi Zhenghao as a way to avoid going to the countryside and stay in the capital.

They are truly disgusting scumbags, father and daughter, who will stop at nothing to do anything, utterly repulsive.

Xia Yuhuan quietly left, found the stairs leading to the second floor, and went upstairs.

Now that she knew about the scumbag father and daughter's scheme, she certainly couldn't let them succeed; she had to disrupt their plans.

Xia Yuhuan thought for a moment and then went to the leftmost room on the second floor.

Before entering, she took out her silver needles from her spatial storage and held them between her fingers.

The room was dark, with no lights on. Through the faint moonlight shining in from the window, Xia Yuhuan could see a bed in the corner.

She walked cautiously toward the bed.

As she approached, she saw a person lying on the bed.

Xia Yuhuan reached out and gently pushed him: "Hey, are you alright? Chi... damn it..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a sudden dizziness.

It turned out that Chi Zhenghao on the bed was pretending to be unconscious. He suddenly attacked and pinned her to the bed, placing his hands on her neck and choking her.

"Who are you? What do you want to do to me?" Chi Zhenghao asked coldly.

Due to the effects of the medication, Chi Zhenghao was feeling feverish and somewhat confused, so he naturally didn't recognize Xia Yuhuan's voice.

With his last shred of reason, Chi Zhenghao suppressed the boiling discomfort in his body and looked at the woman he was pinning down on the bed with red eyes.

But he really couldn't control the force in his hands, and his grip was so strong that Xia Yuhuan's eyes rolled back in her head.

Xia Yuhuan struggled to insert the needle she was holding into his acupoints.

Chi Zhenghao froze, his hands completely out of his control.

Xia Yuhuan didn't dare to delay. She quickly reached out and pulled his hand away, then pushed him back onto the bed and sat up to catch her breath.

Chi Jung-ho was uncontrollably overturned, his eyes filled with shock.

What kind of sorcery did this woman use? How could she make his body completely out of his control?

"Cough, cough..." Having regained her freedom, Xia Yuhuan suppressed a few light coughs.

"Luckily I was prepared, otherwise you would have really strangled me to death." Xia Yuhuan cursed under her breath as she recovered.

"Who exactly are you? What do you want to do to me?" Chi Zhenghao asked in a hoarse voice.

He didn't sense any killing intent from the other party, knowing he was temporarily safe, so he thought he should first figure out the other party's purpose.

Worried that Xia Zhuyu might come in at any moment, Xia Yuhuan quickly explained to Chi Zhenghao while taking his pulse.

"I am Xia Yuhuan. I just overheard Xia Jianyong and Xia Zhuyu's conversation downstairs. I know they drugged you, wanting to force you to marry them so they can have sex with you."

"I'm asking you, do you want to force yourself on her and marry her, or do you want me to save you and take you away?"

"Why should I believe you? You and Xia Zhuyu don't get along. How can I be sure that what you're saying is the truth and not slander?" Chi Zhenghao asked in a hoarse voice, remaining calm.

He felt burning hot all over, as if he were on fire, so hot that he almost lost control.

Xia Yuhuan keenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

"Damn it, it's too late," Xia Yuhuan cursed inwardly.

Before she could put him back in his original position, Xia Yuhuan hurriedly pressed Chi Zhenghao's acupoint to silence him, then pulled the blanket over him and covered him with it, before quickly hiding herself under a table not far away.

Chi Zhenghao was unable to speak or move at this moment, but even though his body was burning with heat, he couldn't stop being shocked.

What exactly did Xia Yuhuan do to him? How did she manage to render him unable to speak or move?

Before he could think any further, the door was pushed open and closed again.

Immediately, a person walked up to him.

Chi Zhenghao could only watch helplessly as the other person's hands landed on his face, on his body, and unbuttoned his clothes.

He was filled with shame and indignation, but he couldn't struggle or move. His anger surged to the top of his head, and he was so angry that he felt like smoke was coming out of his head.

It was at this moment that he heard Xia Zhuyu's murmur.

"Hmph, Chi Zhenghao, don't let your usual arrogant and aloof demeanor fool you. Now you're lying in bed at my mercy, aren't you? You think you can refuse to marry me now that I've set my sights on you? Hmph, don't even think about it!"

"I need to hurry, or Dad will be up soon."

In just a few words, Chi Zhenghao completely believed what Xia Yuhuan had said earlier.

He knew beforehand that he had been drugged, but he couldn't figure out whose scheme he had fallen for or why they were plotting against him.

It turned out that it was indeed Xia Jianyong and his daughter Xia Zhuyu who did it.

It seems that what Xia Yuhuan said at the Xia family home during the day—that she and her father wanted to use him to escape their fate of being sent to the countryside—was probably true.

Otherwise, the father and daughter wouldn't have resorted to such desperate measures to attack him.

They were clearly frightened, worried that he would find out the truth and refuse to marry Xia Zhuyu, so they wanted to strike first.

As Chi Zhenghao was thinking, he suddenly felt a weight on his chest, a muffled groan and frustration stuck there, unable to dissipate.

It was Xia Yuhuan who knocked Xia Zhuyu unconscious, and the other girl fell on top of him, her weight pressing down on him.

Xia Yuhuan scoffed, "Now you believe I'm telling the truth, right? Do you want to stay and let Xia Jianyong catch you red-handed, or do you owe me a favor and come with me?"

Normally, Xia Yuhuan saves people without considering any reward; she doesn't like rescuing people with a purpose in mind, as it's too tiring.

However, she had absolutely no ill feelings about taking advantage of Chi Zhenghao's kindness.

After all, the two weren't exactly enemies, but rather potential adversaries.

Her willingness to help is already an act of kindness and generosity; she would be doing herself a disservice if she didn't ask for anything in return.

"Huh? You're not saying anything? That means you're agreeing to stay. Fine, I'll just consider it me being nosy. I'm leaving, and you can be the sucker."

Chi Zhenghao: "!!!"

At this moment, Chi Zhenghao, who was unable to move, almost went crazy.

How could someone do this?

She was the one who silenced him, doesn't she realize that?

She asked him questions but wouldn't let him speak or listen to his answers. This clearly shows that she made the decision for him unilaterally. Such behavior is utterly shameless.

When Chi Zhenghao saw Xia Yuhuan really turn to leave, he was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Is he really going to fail here today?
