Chapter 332 Shen Ruofu, it's time to settle accounts with you.

"Are you... dizzy too?" Xu Zhaoheng asked.

Ji Ying raised her hand to her temples. Despite feeling hot all over, her gaze toward him was icy.

"Did you put something in the tea?"

Xu Zhaoheng's mind was still relatively clear at this moment.

"I swear to God! I admit I like you, but I would never do such a thing. If I did, not only would you not like me anymore, you would hate me for the rest of your life. And..."

He suppressed the surging tide within him.

"I'm just afraid someone might tamper with it, so I personally went to the kitchen to supervise the making of this fruit tea."

Ji Ying endured the strange feeling in her body, looked around, and finally her gaze fell on the air conditioner vent.

"It's the air conditioner... there's something wrong with the smell in the private room..."

She struggled to rush to the door, only to find it locked from the outside.

Xu Zhaoheng immediately got up to push the window, but the window did not budge.

So, someone deliberately trapped them here, wanting something to happen to them.

"We can't get out, what should we do?"

Xu Zhaoheng returned to the table, feeling extremely hot, and ripped off his tie.

"Hand...phone..."

Ji Ying wanted to call for help, but found that her tongue was no longer under her control.

Xu Zhaoheng tried to make a phone call, but found there was no signal.

"It's over... I can't get through..."

Xu Zhaoheng felt as if the blood in his body was swelling, as if his blood vessels were about to burst.

"Block the air conditioning vent!"

Ji Ying suppressed the dizziness brought on by the smell and struggled to take Xu Zhaoheng's coat off the hanger.

Xu Zhaoheng quickly pushed the table over and helped her climb up.

Both of them were under the influence of drugs, and their movements were clumsy.

Xu Zhaoheng held Ji Ying's leg, his mind wandering...

Unbeknownst to them, there were three surveillance cameras in the private room, broadcasting their footage live.

Liang Yizhi was in a meeting when he received the anonymous friend request.

His contact information was almost unknown to outsiders, so the sudden appearance of a stranger adding him was clearly ill-intentioned.

He calmly nodded in agreement.

He had just accepted the friend request when the other party sent him a live stream link.

Upon clicking, one sees Ji Ying jumping off the table, losing her balance, and being caught by Xu Zhaoheng.

At that moment, another person entered the live stream.

Liang Yizhi immediately interrupted the meeting, got up and walked out.

He was walking and talking on the phone at the same time.

"Give me an IP address..."

On the other end, the moment Xu Zhaoheng embraced Ji Ying, his blood boiled even more.

"Yingying, I...I'm sorry...but I want to..."

Ji Ying bit her lip and pushed him away forcefully.

"From now on, get out of here and stay in that corner. Don't come near me."

Xu Zhaoheng was still able to control himself at this moment, and he scrambled to the corner and squatted down.

If we can't go out, we can only ventilate the room first.

Ji Ying dragged her limp body, picked up the ashtray, and walked towards the window.

Because the shop used tempered glass, and she didn't have much strength, she tried to smash the window several times but failed.

Her body was becoming increasingly limp, and her brain was sending out warning signals.

Just as she took a deep breath and was about to pick up the ashtray again and smash it against the window, her wrist was grabbed.

Xu Zhaoheng, who had gone to the corner, did not calm down for long before he completely lost his mind.

With his bloodshot eyes wide open, he pulled Ji Ying into his arms and then pressed her to the ground.

“Yingying,” he mumbled, “I want…”

"Get out of my way!"

Ji Ying tried to push him away and got up to run away, but Xu Zhaoheng grabbed her ankle and dragged her back.

Ji Ying couldn't hold back and slapped him across the face.

"Xu Zhaoheng, you need to know what you're doing!"

However, the slap did not bring him to his senses; instead, it seemed to ignite the final fuse.

The drugs, combined with the pre-existing feelings, caused Xu Zhaoheng to completely lose control.

He grabbed Ji Ying's clothes, her once gentle and refined face now twisted into a strange and terrifying expression.

"Give it to me...give it to me..."

With a tearing sound!

Ji Ying's clothes were torn.

She immediately looked up and bit Xu Zhaoheng's hand.

Taking advantage of the moment, Xu Zhaoheng cried out in pain and let go, then she rolled over.

Despite her body being too weak to move, she still tried to crawl out.

Completely controlled by his biological instincts, Xu Zhaoheng once again pinned her down.

Ji Ying's eyes were dark, but what was even more terrifying was that she also desperately wanted a man.

Rather, this person is definitely not Xu Zhaoheng.

But she was about to give up; the edge of her consciousness was being swallowed by endless darkness.

Just as she was about to give up resisting, the door to the private room was violently kicked open with a loud bang!

At the same time, all three cameras in the private room malfunctioned.

Liang Yizhi appeared at the doorway.

Upon seeing Ji Ying, whose clothes were disheveled and hair was messy, the man's face turned frighteningly gloomy. He strode over, picked up Xu Zhaoheng without breaking a sweat, and threw him aside like a broken sack.

Xu Zhaoheng slammed into the wall with a dull thud and collapsed to the ground.

Having resolved this problem, he turned around, took off his coat, and swiftly yet gently wrapped it tightly around the nearly exhausted Ji Ying.

Ji Ying felt hot all over and reached her hands out of her clothes, wanting to hug him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liang Yizhi leaned forward.

Seeing her trembling all over, the man had no intention of questioning or being angry. Instead, he comforted her in a low voice with heartache, "It's alright, I'm here. Don't be afraid."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ying immediately pressed her face against his chest and burst into tears.

“Liang Yizhi…” she said in a muffled voice, “I want you.”

The vein on the man's forehead throbbed.

Even though the air conditioner vents were blocked, there was still an odor in the room, so it was not advisable to stay there for long.

Liang Yizhi immediately picked the person up.

Ji Ying hugged him even tighter in an instant.

Liang Yizhi suppressed the anger rising in his heart and carried the person out of the private room.

Jiang Ran and her men stood at the door, waiting for his instructions.

"Clean it up."

To protect Ji Ying's reputation, the best course of action is to suppress the matter first, and then follow the clues to eliminate the person behind it.

Jiang Ran understood. After entering the private room, she first directed one team to quickly collect air samples from the room, while another team took the unconscious Xu Zhaoheng to the hospital.

Liang Yizhi carried Ji Ying into the car, but the woman, who was tightly wrapped around his neck, still refused to let go.

The hot breath hit his neck, and the man tensed up, trying his best to stay calm.

"Sweetie, let's go to the hospital now."

Ji Ying felt as if a million ants were gnawing at her veins. Her remaining consciousness gradually dissipated under the effects of the drug, and she pleaded in his ear with a sob in her voice.

"No...I don't want a doctor...I want you..."

However, if she indulges herself, it will harm her health.

Liang Yizhi suppressed the urge to succumb to his desires and gently patted her back, comforting her, "The doctor has a way to relieve your discomfort."

Ji Ying was about to explode.

If reasoning doesn't work, then take action.

Her hand tightened, and with the last ounce of her clear mind, she asked, "Where are you going? Tell me seriously!"

Liang Yizhi trembled, the last vestiges of his rationality instantly extinguished by the warmth of her palm.

He looked at Yue Zheng, who was driving, and, trying to control his tone, ordered, "Go to the nearest hotel, quickly!"

...

The two have not been seen since entering the hotel in the afternoon.

It wasn't until the next day that Liang Yizhi took Ji Ying, who was sleeping soundly, to the hospital for a check-up.

The man breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that all her vital signs had returned to normal.

At this time, Jiang Ran's investigation also yielded results, and she rushed to the hospital to report.

"The air analysis in the teahouse private room revealed a new type of inhaled hallucinogen, something not even available on the domestic black market. A few days ago, some people from Ba Kingdom came to visit, but they only contacted Shen Ruofu. However, this still doesn't prove that she's involved in this matter."

"Unable to prove it?" Ji Ying sat on the hospital bed, her complexion somewhat poor, but her gaze deep. "What did Xu Zhaoheng say?"

"Mr. Xu said that before meeting you yesterday, Shen Ruofu did call him to ask him to meet, but he declined because he had a social engagement. He suspects that Shen Ruofu guessed that you two were going to meet, so..."

Ji Ying gave a cold laugh. "No doubt about it, it's her."

Then, the light in her eyes gradually solidified.

"Shen Ruofu, it's time to settle accounts with you."
