The other person was clearly overjoyed by her words. Two million! A high school student gets two million in New Year's money!

The lewd man eagerly helped Chen Lian up: "Do you have a boyfriend? No, right? What do you think of me? Pretty handsome, huh!"

"Besides, I'm mature and manly, no less attractive than Shen Xinghe, the guy all the high school girls like, right?"

Shen Lian gave the lewd man a look that could practically be pitied for someone with intellectual disabilities.

Although he was wearing a suit, he exuded the air of a hoodlum. His features were unremarkable, the kind of person you wouldn't notice if you threw him into a crowd.

The only thing that set him apart from ordinary people was the sleazy look in his triangular eyes, which made people feel disgusted.

And this guy dares to say he's no worse than top star Shen Xinghe?!

The sleazy man not only lacked self-awareness but also thought himself extremely clever. He interpreted Shen Lian's gaze as admiration and worship, and asked Shen Lian to be his girlfriend, giving him 100,000 yuan a month for living expenses.

"Of course, in return, I can sleep with you right now." The lecherous man chuckled. "The drugs you took have those kinds of ingredients, right? You're craving men, aren't you?"

Chen Lian was disgusted to the point of madness. Although she kept telling herself to stay calm and outsmart the situation, she couldn't help herself.

"Are you sick? You're insane!" Unfortunately, he wasn't in the right state of mind, and his voice lacked force.

She quickly forgot about maintaining her composure, as the other person actually started taking off her clothes and groping her.

When those groping hands touched her face, Chen Lian almost went crazy!

Fortunately, at that moment, the door was suddenly kicked open.

As soon as the door opened, Xie Li's eyes narrowed slightly. In that instant, Jiang Qian, who was standing closest, sensed a chilling killing intent, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

Immediately afterwards, the lewd man's body flew out, crashed into the ceiling, and then slammed heavily onto the ground with a thud.

This ferocious demeanor left Jiang Qian, who was following behind, completely bewildered.

She calls herself the big sister of Deyu, but today she truly understands what Li Chen meant when he said her fighting skills are only at the level of an elementary school student.

After Xie Li laid the person down, he didn't even glance at him, but instead went to look at Chen Lian on the bed.

Shen Lian's condition wasn't too bad; her clothes were still relatively intact. However, upon seeing Xie Li's agitated expression and wanting to say something, she suddenly coughed up blood.

Jiang Qian's hand tightened: "I gave her a pill, but I don't know what its ingredients are..."

If there are any negative consequences, she will be held primarily responsible.

Xie Li checked Chen Lian's pulse and examined her condition before taking out a pill and feeding it to her.

The pill melted in her mouth, leaving a rich aroma. Shen Lian was soon pleasantly surprised to find that the heaviness had vanished, and she could move again!

Chen Lian grabbed Xie Li, her expression anxious: "Xie Li, it's time to pass the Encyclopedia King challenge! You'll be disqualified if you exceed 30 minutes!"

There was a clock on the wall of the hotel room. Jiang Qian looked up at the time and her pupils contracted slightly. It was already 8:25.

It's about 4 or 5 kilometers away from Linjiang No.1 Middle School. Even if I rushed downstairs to hail a taxi right away, it would probably be too late, especially since it's rush hour.

Chen Lian also saw the time on the clock, and felt a sudden darkness before her eyes. It was all over; Xie Li was going to miss it!

She angrily slammed her fist on her knee. Ugh, so frustrating!

Even if they don't have much of a chance of winning, they should at least give it a shot. It's better than not being able to participate at all, which would be too frustrating!

Xie Li made a phone call: "Li Chen, has he arrived yet?"
