Chapter 151: Kidnapping

Qi Shaoyou didn't remember much after that. She only remembered feeling extremely hot all over, as if her soul was being roasted.

Amidst towering flames, she stumbled upon a pool of hot spring water when she was at her wit's end. The spring water smelled of jasmine, and she drank from its clear spring without tiring...

And so, the tranquil hot spring was stirred up at this moment.

In the end, Qi Shaoyou couldn't remember those beautiful dreams. All she remembered was that the flame in her heart had been extinguished.

When she woke up, she felt much lighter. Even the back pain she had developed from sitting for long periods had completely disappeared.

"Sleeping well, can such a miracle really happen?" Qi Shaoyou felt a little surprised as he experienced the comfort he felt.

If she had to say something, Qi Shaoyou just wanted to know whether last night was a dream or reality. Between the illusion and reality, she felt like she was seeing things through a fog.

No, in order to find out the truth, Qi Shaoyou felt he should check his glands.

Chenping and 0527 were so anxious about Qi Shaoyou that they were practically bursting with worry.

"She's a real troublemaker! What are we going to do now that she's discovered the glands are improving?" 0527 was at her wits' end and quickly looked at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping glanced at 0527, pondered for a moment, and then picked up the phone in the system space.

"Hello, is this Ms. Qi Shaoyou?"

Because Qi Shaoyou could hear Chen Ping's voice immediately, Chen Ping also used a voice changer provided by the system.

In the video, Qi Shaoyou answers the phone and, upon hearing this, puts down his hand that was checking the gland.

"Hello, this is you. What can I do for you?" Qi Shaoyou hadn't expected anyone to speak to her in this tone; the moment she heard it, she knew it wasn't a good thing…

As expected, Qi Shaoyou's premonition came true.

"Here's the thing, your glands had a problem yesterday. The excessive pheromones caused damage to the program's equipment, so you need to make amends today."

Qi Shaoyou's heart skipped a beat as he smelled the strong aroma of liquor in the air. What did she mean? What... what had she done...?

"No... what kind of equipment is so bad that it would be destroyed by pheromones?" Qi Shaoyou felt that the other party was trying to extort her.

"A pheromone meter—this is something that's always been in the hot spring inn. The production crew just didn't put it away, but your pheromones were really strong last night..."

The reason given for the screen sinking is both real and fake.

The hot spring hotel really does have this pheromone measuring device. If the production team hadn't turned it off, it would definitely have been damaged and broken.

However, the production team shut down the show. So, it was just an excuse.

Even at this moment, Chen Ping found a reason for the jasmine fragrance in the air.

"Miss Qi, can't you smell the jasmine fragrance in the air?"

"That's because you destroyed the pheromone meter yesterday, so the pheromone smell from next door has also drifted over."

"Due to your pheromone overreaction, Actress Liang Manying has been hospitalized today. However, since you are an S-level alpha, we dare not act rashly on you, so..."

That's why we let you lie there until now.

Shen Ping is eloquent; her few words completely blocked Qi Shaoyou's escape route.

With no way out, Qi Shaoyou's biggest concern was Liang Man.

"What happened to her? Is she seriously injured?" Qi Shaoyou's mind went blank. She never imagined that her atrophied glands would cause her pheromones to go berserk and even injure someone.

"No, I have to go see her..."

Qi Shaoyou took the phone and walked out, sweat pouring down Shen Ping's forehead. Letting Qi Shaoyou go out at this moment meant she could easily find Liang Man, who was still resting.

After glandular atrophy, absolute marking occurs, reducing the marking time to just one day. However, the recovery time for omegas with atrophied glands is significantly longer, requiring a full three days!

"I suggest you don't. Actress Liang Man doesn't want to see anyone right now. Besides, she needs time to recover. It's not good to bother her at this time..."

The screen paused for a moment, and sure enough, this pause stirred up Qi Shaoyou's sense of guilt.

Taking advantage of Qi Shaoyou's guilt, Shen Ping immediately shattered her composure with other matters.

"Honey, if you have time to think about all that, you should first think about how to pay back the money owed to the production team."

"I remember I have insurance, you can just go to the insurance company to file a claim."

Qi Shaoyou took out an insurance policy for her atrophied glands in case anything happened to them.

Then that insurance policy will cover her problem.

He covered the microphone of his phone with his hand and cursed at the air.

Damn it, she forgot! It was she who asked Qi Shaoyou to buy this insurance!

Well, they've shot themselves in the foot.

"What is your insurance coverage?" Chen Ping covered her head and pinched her thigh to force her voice to be as approachable as before.

"Three million, and as far as I know, a pheromone measuring instrument only costs three hundred."

"Given the size of this room, you can only fit three people at most." Qi Shaoyou felt he could hear a hint of resentment in the other person's words.

That gritted-teeth sound... it felt somewhat familiar to her. Yes, it was as if Chen Ping would make that sound when pushed to the limit.

No, Qi Shaoyou is too shrewd; she's not easily fooled at all. Shen Ping frowned; she felt a headache coming on.

"But this happened on the show, which is a huge loss for our 'Confession Letter' program. Have you considered this?"

Qi Shaoyou's face darkened, and then he heard the person on the other end continue speaking.

"We also invited actress Liang Man to our program, and now we're in a difficult position. In any case, our program team will not shirk this responsibility and will definitely cover actress Liang Man's medical expenses."

"Including compensation for Liang Manying's emotional distress afterward, do you understand?"

The screen kept displaying message after message, causing Qi Shaoyou's face to turn ashen.

"I understand." This time, it was Qi Shaoyou who was gritting his teeth.

"Tell me, how much do you want?"

After much effort, Chen Ping finally managed to guide Qi Shaoyou onto the right path.

"No, that's not necessary. However, we hope you will cooperate with the 'Confession Letter' segment next."

After saying this, Chen Ping revealed a smug smile on his face.

Watching the two of them go back and forth, 0527 felt like he was listening to gibberish.

Those two are really something, making her look like a fool... But if her boss knew everything, Sister Chenping definitely wouldn't be able to trick him.

0527 was ultimately biased, favoring Qi Shaoyou who had taken care of her for so long. There was no way to explain it; the time difference was simply incomparable.

"Okay... I'll cooperate..." Qi Shaoyou finally bowed to the evil forces, after all, she really didn't have any money to compensate the production team.

She was very aware of her financial situation. For the sake of her livelihood in the last few months, Qi Shaoyou decided to be honest.

"Now that you have agreed, please sit in the chair near the door and blindfold yourself with the black cloth strip on the chair."

Taking advantage of Qi Shaoyou's agreement, Chen Ping quickly issued orders to her.

"What kind of weird stuff is this? What is your production team trying to do?"

When Qi Shaoyou saw the black cloth on the chair, he felt that these production teams were really too...

This is way too much for her...

"Do we really have to blindfold ourselves?"

Qi Shaoyou tried to discuss the necessity of this thing with the other party.

"You can also choose to receive direct compensation for breach of contract."

Chenping delivered the most heartless answer in her sweetest voice.

"Tsk."

Qi Shaoyou hesitated for a moment, then covered his eyes with the black cloth on the chair.

There's no way around it; when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Since the other party has already agreed, the program won't contain anything scary, and it shouldn't threaten her life...

Yes, that's right, that's exactly what Qi Shaoyou thought before she was drugged.

It wasn't until she was drugged that she realized how naive she had been.

What awakened her even before her consciousness was the sensation of touch on her body.

Someone was stroking her face, and the gentle touch of the other person instantly triggered the heightened sensitivity of her skin.

A faint rose scent filled the air.

This rose scent is not similar to the scent of ordinary roses...

If I had to describe it, this kind of rose has a unique, irresistible quality...

What exactly is it?

Where did the production team find such good aromatherapy products?

Qi Shaoyou was utterly baffled.

Wait, wait, this isn't aromatherapy, it should smell like pheromones!

"Su Yan?"

Qi Shaoyou tentatively asked.

"You're quite alert; you knew it was me so quickly."

"Is it because of the 100% matching pheromones, or because my image is always in your heart?"

Su Yan is usually very aloof and keeps people at arm's length.

She almost never speaks to others in that voice.

What kind of voice was it? It was a voice that carried piety, gentleness, a hint of seduction, and indifference.

The stark contrast made her voice sound like a wild rose suddenly inserted into a plain porcelain vase.

The fiery red roses and the plain porcelain vase are both contradictory and unique, making it impossible to look away.

"Did the production team make any special arrangements? Why are we meeting like this?"

At this point, Qi Shaoyou still thought it was the program team's arrangement.

Of course, since it was arranged by the production team, she only thought that they were playing some couple play.

For example, the kind of police officers and thieves...

"I think you might have misunderstood something..."

Su Yan curled her lips into a smile and uttered a sentence that terrified her.

"It has nothing to do with the production team; I kidnapped you."
