“I told you long ago that we were able to capture Zhan Jingting alive last time because we were lucky and took advantage of an opening, plus he was completely unprepared. From the moment he escaped from our hands, the situation was already difficult to control.” He Songling looked at him. “Speaking of which, a big reason why he got away was that you underestimated him.”

"Even though he was hard to control, I managed to control him." The man said disdainfully, "Believe it or not, if I can make him fall into my hands once, I can make him fall into my hands a second time."

He Songling smiled and said, "Actually, you and Qiao Wanwan are very similar. You are both very confident. You believe you can kill her, and she believes she can kill you."

“That’s what makes it interesting…” the man chuckled. “To be honest, when she falls into my hands, I really won’t want to kill her. Such a smart and interesting woman is a rare find.”

"I advise you to abandon this idea. The more beautiful and charming a woman is, the more dangerous she is. If you're not careful, you might die at her hands without even knowing how..."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Just then, a subordinate rushed in to report, "Boss, something bad has happened! Our men have been poisoned by something they ate, and they're all unconscious!"

He Songling frowned slightly. "See? I told you, it must have been Qiao Wanwan's doing!"

The man burst into laughter, "Interesting! Now you're qualified to be my opponent!"

"Boss, what should we do now?" His subordinates were almost frantic.

"What's the rush?" the man said impatiently. "He's just unconscious, not dead. Just take him to see a doctor, and bring back more medicine when he wakes up, isn't that enough? Do I have to teach you such a small thing?"

Subordinate: "..."

"Yes, I'll take care of it right away."

The man chuckled softly, "Don't worry, as long as Cheng Zaozao is in my hands, she won't dare to poison her. After all, she's afraid of accidentally killing Cheng Zaozao..."

......

Inside the hotel, Jiang Dong knocked on the door and entered. "Madam, I just spoke with Wutong Bay on the phone. Everything is normal, please don't worry."

"Understood," Qiao Wanwan instructed. "Jiang Dong, make arrangements for our people to keep an eye on hospitals and clinics to see if anyone brings in a patient who has suddenly fallen into a coma for treatment."

"Madam, you're trying to find someone by starting from here, right?" Jiang Dong realized. "I'm afraid that will be difficult. We don't have enough manpower to go to hospitals and clinics, not to mention that this place is different from the capital. There are many unlicensed clinics here that don't have signs and are very secretive."

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "Yes, it seems difficult to find the person using this lead. The drug I used is easy to counteract; the person will wake up in a few hours. If I wasn't worried about accidentally harming Zaozao, I would have just used poison."

"Madam, don't think about it anymore. I'll send someone out to investigate and see if we can find any clues, but don't get your hopes up too high."

"I know."

After a night of turmoil, the people who had been drugged slowly woke up, each one of them gritting their teeth in anger.

"That bitch dared to drug us!"

"Once the boss catches her, he'll tear her to pieces!"

"Tearing her to pieces is nothing. I've heard she's an absolute beauty, the most beautiful woman in China. Wouldn't it be a waste not to have some of her?"

"Speaking of which, don't we have one right here? She may not be as pretty as her sister, but she's more than enough to help us brothers vent our frustrations..."

"Alright, her sister drugged us, so we'll get our revenge on her! I've been holding back for days, I'm about to die of pent-up frustration! Let's go find her!"

Cheng Zaozao was locked in a dilapidated room. There wasn't even a bed in it; there was only a moldy straw mat on the floor.

Cheng Zaozao sat on the straw mat, huddled against the wall, tears streaming down her face.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

A faint sound suddenly came from the corner.

Cheng Zaozao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a mouse crawling around.

"Ah!" Cheng Zaozao cried out in fright, tears streaming down her face even more.

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open, startling Cheng Zaozao!

Several burly men barged in, their eyes filled with hostility.

Cheng Zaozao shrank back in fright, "What...what do you want to do?"

"What are you doing? Your sister drugged us, making us unconscious all night. When we woke up, we had splitting headaches. What do you think we're trying to do?!"

"Little girl, blame your sister for daring to mess with us!"

"Don't worry, although we hate your sister, as long as you cooperate, your brothers will be very gentle with you."

"No..." Cheng Zaozao pleaded, trembling and crying, "Please don't do this to me... I have money! I have lots of money! I can give you as much as you want!"

"Hey girl, do you think we're short of money? Don't let our humble circumstances fool you, our boss is very generous, we're not short of cash!"

"How about this, you come with me, and I'll give you money to spend, okay?"

"Great idea! You stay and serve us, and we'll give you all our money, how about it?"

"No..." Cheng Zaozao cried out in despair, kneeling down and kowtowing to them. "I beg you, please don't hurt me! Don't hurt me!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, she's really pitiful. Guys, who wants to go first?"

"I brought the medicine back for you, so of course I'll go first!"

"Okay, I won't fight you for it, just hurry up."

The lewd man pounced on Cheng Zaozao like a hungry wolf seeing meat!

"Ah—" Cheng Zaozao cried out in despair, struggling violently, "No! Don't touch me! Help! Ah, don't touch me—"

When the man saw that she wouldn't comply, he raised his hand and slapped her!

Cheng Zaozao was knocked to the side, feeling dizzy and unable to use her hands. She was completely at the mercy of her opponent!

With a tearing sound, Cheng Zaozao closed her eyes in despair as her clothes were ripped open...

The next second, a "bang" was heard, and Cheng Zaozao felt warm liquid splashed on her face!

She slowly opened her eyes and saw that the man had fallen on top of her, with a hole in his head and blood splattered all over her face!

Qiao Wanwan was so frightened that she trembled!

The others, seeing the man with a gun at the door, hurriedly backed away in fright.

"Boss."

"Boss..."

The masked man's voice was deep and cold, "Who gave you permission to touch her?"

"Boss, we're sorry, we were wrong!"

"We didn't know we couldn't touch it! Boss, spare us!"

Everyone rushed to kneel down and beg for mercy.

The man didn't say anything, turned around and walked out, as if he had never been there.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly dragged the dead man off the ground, closed the door, and left.

Cheng Zaozao lay helplessly on the ground, gathering her clothes, now reduced to shreds, as tears streamed down her face.

"Why did you do this to me... Sister, why didn't you save me... Why...?"
