Chapter 175 You Can’t Defeat Me

"I won't hurt you, Xiao Yu." Xu Chuchu said without turning her head, "The medicine I just gave you won't harm your body."

These were the exact words Xiao Yu had said to her, and now she returned them to him intact.

There was no more movement behind him, and Xu Chuchu tried the keys to open the door one by one.

There were eight keys in the bunch. Except for the smaller one for opening handcuffs, the others looked similar and were not marked. Xu Chuchu had to try them one by one.

But unexpectedly, she tried all the keys and still none of them worked!

Her heart sank and she tried again, silently hoping that she had just missed it out of panic and trembling hands.

However, I tried them all again, but the result was the same... There was no key in this bunch of keys that could open the door lock!

Her first reaction was to go back and search Xiao Yu to see if there were any other keys.

...But it's too late.

"Can't open it?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside her ear, "Do you need help?"

Xu Chuchu suddenly turned around and found that Xiao Yu had stood up and stood behind her without her knowing, looking down at her with lifeless eyes!

"Ah!" She was so scared that she took a step back and stuck to the iron fence behind her.

However, Xiao Yu went a step further and framed her within his arms' range.

"Are you surprised that there's no key to the front door?" he asked softly. "Do you always see me picking a key from this bunch to open the door?"

"You're not knocked out!" Xu Chuchu quickly reacted and calmed down, "You were just pretending!"

The drug she used was bought when they went to the auction at Yuelai Casino. The drug was very powerful. Even if the target was a fortune teller, once he passed out, it would take a day and a night for him to wake up. That was why she dared to stand there and talk to him for a long time.

He got up immediately, which meant he was not knocked unconscious at all!

Thinking of this, some images quickly flashed before Xu Chuchu's eyes... When they were kissing before the wedding ceremony, he said that her mouth was very sweet. Did he notice it at that time?

Xiao Yu stretched out a finger and gently brushed across Xu Chuchu's lips.

"You put the drug on your lips, didn't you?" he asked. "That's very bold. It's easy to get drunk yourself if you do that. Remember to put it in your wine glass next time."

"Why are you okay?" Xu Chuchu clenched her fists and stared at him intently, "Tell me!"

She clearly felt that Xiao Yu had rolled up the powder she applied on her lips, even a layer of lip balm was rolled up. There was no reason why he didn't take the drug!

There is indeed an antidote for this drug, but it doesn't make sense for him to take the antidote for no reason and then come to marry her!

Xiao Yu smiled weakly: "Because it's not drugs, Chuchu, it's powdered sugar."

"What did you say?!" Xu Chuchu's first reaction was that Ah Fu had given her the powdered sugar as a drug, but then she thought it wasn't right. She had checked the powder when she first received it, and it was indeed a drug. When did it turn into powdered sugar?!

"Did you switch the bags?" she asked.

"Who gave you the drugs?" Xiao Yu asked instead of answering.

"Someone who can't stand what you do!" Xu Chuchu would certainly not betray Ah Fu.

He was able to secretly deliver the medicine to her at that time, which must have been because he wanted to help her leave. He would not have teamed up with Xiao Yu to tease her.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu said directly: "You are quite protective of Ah Fu."

"Chu Chu, hiding things under your pillow isn't a good habit." His tone remained gentle, not even a hint of anger visible. "Many of our actions, unintentionally, can reveal our inner thoughts. Have you noticed? Lately, you've been putting your hands on your pillow when you sleep. You never did before, which means you must be hiding some important secret in there. I found a chance to casually feel around a few times, and I found the packet of drugs."

"The drugs were originally kept in the warehouse under strict guard, so it would be easy to find out who touched them." He shook his head regretfully. "Ah Fu actually wanted to help you escape. He really disappoints me."

The action of pressing his hands on the pillow while sleeping...Xu Chuchu really didn't notice it.

If Xiao Yu was telling the truth, she felt that this person's observation and judgment abilities had reached a terrifying level.

"And then you switched to powdered sugar?" She was still a little incredulous. "Since you found it, why didn't you confront me? You had to wait until today, until you tasted powdered sugar, to put on a show for me?!"

"Wait." She looked outside, "Where's Ah Fu? I haven't seen him today. Did you do something to him?"

"Why do you care about him so much?" Xiao Yu said dissatisfiedly, "Don't worry, I didn't punish him. I didn't even tell him that I found out that he was the one who sent the drugs."

"On the contrary, I should commend him because he tested your sincerity for me." He continued, "At first, I didn't expose you because I wanted to see if you would make a move on me and when... I didn't expect you to choose today, our wedding day."

"To be honest, even if I found the powder, I'm still a little uneasy. If Ah Fu could give you the powder, he might as well have given you something else. I can't be on guard against everything, so I might as well throw away the key to the front door before entering. That way, no matter what you do to me in the room, whether it's beating or killing me, you won't be able to get out."

Xu Chuchu laughed heartily after hearing the whole story. "Your acting is truly superb. It would be a shame if you didn't go into opera. How do you feel now that you've discovered that everyone has betrayed you?"

"No, Chuchu. I'm not angry with you." Xiao Yu gently held her in his arms. "From what you said just now, I realized that you understand my difficulties and my helplessness. When I reminded you that you could take the opportunity to kill me, you were reluctant to do it."

"If I make a move, you will immediately jump up and kill me, right?" Xu Chuchu asked.

"Of course not, what are you thinking, Chuchu." He smiled, "I said, I will never hurt you no matter what."

"It's just that... the promises we made to let you go on a long journey and practice with you are no longer valid."

"This is a punishment." He held Xu Chuchu's face in his hands. "You can't beat me, Chuchu."

This is his victory and also his warning.

Warn her not to try to challenge and escape from him again.

"No, you're wrong." Xu Chuchu looked up at him and said in a clear voice, "You can't beat me."

Xiao Yu frowned, not knowing what she meant.

Before he could figure it out, there was a loud noise from the roof above his head!

Huge chunks of bricks suddenly fell down, and a hole was smashed directly into the roof!

A young man with rare long orange-red hair jumped down from above and landed gracefully beside the two of them.

He raised the Floating Life Umbrella in his hand and aimed it at Xiao Yu, knocking him to the ground.

"Woman." The young man smiled brightly at Xu Chuchu with his handsome face, "Brother is here to pick you up."
