Nine out of ten women are afraid of mice.

Tang Yufen was no exception.

She displayed a speed and agility beyond her years, leaping onto a chair in a flash to avoid the mouse on the dessert plate. But as soon as she landed, she felt a furry, itchy sensation on the back of her foot.

Her hair stood on end instantly. She looked down and saw a tiny mouse lying on her slippers, raising its front paws and squeaking as if to greet her.

"ah……"

Tang Yufen lifted her leg and flung the little mouse away. Only then did she realize that she was in a vast ocean of mice.

Tables, chairs, carpets, balcony railings...

The place was crawling with countless rats, big and small, each one so fat it was practically dripping with oil, their long tails drooping down as if scratching at her heart. She felt nauseous, dizzy, and her scalp tingled.

She had nowhere to escape.

There wasn't even a place to stand.

"Squeak squeak"

A large rat, weighing at least a pound, glared angrily at Tang Yufen. It nimbly darted in front of her, baring its sharp teeth, with a small rat dangling from its tail—the very same rat that Tang Yufen had thrown away earlier.

The big rat has come to avenge the little guy.

"Help! Help! There's a rat!"

Tang Yufen screamed, but she was staying in the presidential suite, and only by ringing the bell would a staff member come. Normally, it was like a secluded mansion, and she couldn't see a single person. Moreover, the hotel's soundproofing was quite effective, and even if Tang Yufen screamed her lungs out, no one would come anytime soon.

"Get away...get away quickly...help me!"

Tang Yufen completely lost her usual calm and elegance, screaming in panic, curling up like a pitiful worm, tears streaming down her face, her whole body trembling.

The four mischievous kids on the neighboring balcony were laughing their heads off. Ya Dan whispered, "Let the rats bite her, bite that old hag to death!"

Sweetie nodded vigorously, "Bite her!"

Xiao Tong, who didn't understand anything, thought Wu Chen and the others were playing a game with a mouse. She was overjoyed and nodded along, imitating them, saying, "Bite her!"

"What's the rush? You can't rush things. Watch me."

After a few minutes, seeing that Tang Yufen was already terrified and on the verge of collapse, Wuchen worried that it would attract the attention of the waiters, so he whistled a few times. The rats on the neighboring balcony all shuddered and launched an attack on Tang Yufen, swarming towards her in a flurry.

In no time, Tang Yufen was covered in rats, even her head.

"Get away...please get away...guards..."

Tang Yufen could clearly smell the rats' fur and the stench emanating from them, mixed with the smell of rotten vegetable leaves and dead fish and shrimp. Just thinking about how these rats crawled out of the stinking ditch made Tang Yufen shudder and wish she could faint right then and there.

But she was unusually lucid, so lucid that she could tell whether the mouse on her collar was male or female.

"Hahahaha... That old hag is terrifying! Who told her to try and harm Sister Qingqing!"

Seeing Tang Yufen's miserable state, Ya Dan and the others were so angry that they laughed until their stomachs hurt.

Wuchen whistled a few more times, and soon Tang Yufen's screams rang out. The shrill sound echoed through the sky and could be heard throughout the entire hotel.

Sweetie's expression changed slightly, and she said to the smug Wuchen, "Quickly get the rats out of here, someone will be here soon."

Wuchen nodded and gave a particularly loud whistle. The dense swarm of rats vanished in an instant, as if they had never been there. Tang Yufen lay unconscious on the ground.

There was a bloody hole in his nose, from which blood was gushing out.
