As the group ate their meal, listening to the girls playing tunes in the Moon Gazing Pavilion, they found the scene rather pleasant, had they not known it was a trap.

The sky quickly darkened.

A person walked in and whispered something in Chen Taohai's ear.

Chen Taohai's eyes darted around a few times, and he said to everyone present, "How can we come to Wangyue Pavilion without drinking? Let's have a good drink!" Before anyone could respond, he called over a waiter: "Bring us a few jars of good wine."

The boy went to fetch the wine as instructed, and Chen Taohai said to the people present, "Tonight it's my treat, everyone drink to your heart's content, we won't leave until we're drunk!"

The waiter brought out the wine, and Chen Taohai poured two glasses first: "Zhiheng! Let me toast you first, congratulations on awakening your spiritual body."

Qi Zhiheng thought to himself: The main event is here!

Qi Zhiheng didn't refuse; in fact, a hint of smugness appeared on his face. He took the wine glass and drank it down, actually pouring the wine into his own spatial dimension.

Qi Zhiheng knew very well that the wine glass had been drugged, and it would take effect in about two incense sticks' time. At that time, if he fainted, Chen Taohai could say that it was because he was drunk.

Everyone drank one cup after another.

Seeing that it was almost time, Qi Zhiheng fainted on the table.

Seeing that Qi Zhiheng had already fallen asleep, Chen Taohai was delighted and said, "It seems that Brother Zhiheng is really happy tonight. We've only just started drinking, and he's already drunk. Shall I have someone take him to rest? Everyone, please continue drinking."

The group exchanged glances, all understanding that Chen Taohai likely had other plans, but they wouldn't interfere in this matter. To be honest, they would rather see Qi Zhiheng suffer a setback. Soon, someone chimed in, "Brother Zhiheng's alcohol tolerance is rather low. It would be best to send him down to rest properly, lest our noise wake him up."

"That's true."

...

Everyone echoed this sentiment.

Chen Taohai gave his subordinates a wink, and they took him away.

After walking through a long corridor, Qi Zhiheng was carried into a room and placed on a bed.

Soon someone carried in a sack, and Qi Zhiheng, with his divine sense extended, saw two burly men.

When the sack was opened, inside was a girl of eleven or twelve years old. This should be Li Zhizhi, who died tragically in her previous life. Li Zhizhi was probably drugged and was still unconscious.

Qi Zhiheng felt that Chen Taohai and Xu Jin were utterly heartless, trying to harm a little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old!

Chen Taohai and Xu Jin left midway through the meeting. Chen Taohai was not particularly at ease about handing the matter over to his subordinates. He wanted to see Qi Zhiheng fall into a pit and not be able to get out.

When Chen Taohai and Xu Jin arrived, Li Zhizhi, the granddaughter of the Li family, had already been released from the sack.

Chen Taohai said to the burly men under his command, "We can begin."

Upon hearing this, one of the burly men tried to step forward and remove Li Zhizhi's clothes. Just as his hand was about to touch her, it was severed by an unknown attack, the entire severed hand falling to the ground with a "thud." The burly man let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Seeing the current situation, Chen Taohai shouted angrily, "Who dares to ruin my plans!"
