Jiang Ran coughed lightly twice, deliberately speaking to herself.
Should I tell him I have a serious infectious disease? But he's so handsome, I don't want to let him go.
But... this infectious disease is too serious. If you get it, you'll develop sores on your head and pus oozing from all seven orifices within three months, and you'll die a very gruesome death.
[What a pity, such a handsome man is going to die with me.]
Hmph! Scared now?
Let's see if he dares to get this close now!
However, when she proudly raised her head, she found the man looking at her with a meaningful expression and a faint smile on his lips.
He extended his index finger, gently hooked a strand of her hair and played with it, his smile deepening in his eyes.
"To die together...it's a very romantic thing to do, I like it very much."
A deep, yet slightly sinister voice entered Jiang Ran's ears, causing her to shudder and feel a chill run down her spine.
This person—
That's perverted!
Jiang Ran's already furrowed brows immediately furrowed even more.
I don't know what bad luck I had today to run into such a mentally unstable man.
Her eyes darkened, and her free hand reached for the sedative spray in her bag.
She feigned pain and pleaded, "My hand...it hurts so much...please let go of me..."
Upon hearing this, the man withdrew his large hand from her wrist.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran said again, "Mr. Huo? There's something I'd like to talk to you about."
The man raised his handsome, sword-like eyebrows slightly, leaned forward a little, and spoke in a deep voice filled with an indescribable allure: "Speak."
A mischievous glint flashed across Jiang Ran's eyes as she said with a smile, "Come closer, otherwise how can I hear you clearly?"
The man leaned down slightly, his hot breath brushing against her neck, making her shrink back uncomfortably.
Jiang Ran glanced at him, and the instant she raised her right hand, she immediately held her breath.
With a "whoosh," a spray of mist exploded in the air.
The man blinked subconsciously, and in that instant, Jiang Ran rushed out. Because she rushed so fast, the sedative spray in her hand fell to the ground, but she didn't dare to stop. She disappeared into the corridor at the speed of a hundred-meter sprint.
This is a special drug she bought; just a little bit is enough to take down a 1.9-meter-tall man.
She just kept running forward, not daring to look back, and soon she arrived at another floor.
"Phew~" Jiang Ran breathed heavily, finally getting rid of that man.
I wonder how he is doing now?
She didn't seem to hear the sound of something heavy falling to the ground after he was drugged.
Never mind him, business is more important.
Anyway, he has so many bodyguards, nothing will happen to him.
In the corridor, the man leaned against the wall. The corridor lights outlined his slender figure and lean waist. The contours of his face were clearly defined by the light and shadow, and half of his profile was hidden in the darkness, making him look even more mysterious.
At this moment, his slender fingers were gripping a spray bottle.
Her fingertips gently rubbed the bottle, and her phoenix eyes, seemingly smiling, exuded a chilling aura that kept people at a distance.
"Third Young Master, why...why did you let her go?" The old man standing next to him looked puzzled.
He didn't understand why the Third Young Master had let the person go after searching for so long and finally finding him.
"If it were you, what would you do?"
"That's easy, we'll just force her to stay."
The man's lips curled slightly as he murmured softly, "Forced?"
He suddenly raised his eyes, his slightly narrowed pupils gleaming with the predatory glint of a wild beast, as if he were considering the feasibility of that statement.
After confirming that she was safe, Jiang Ran took out her phone to check the time; it would be nine o'clock in fifteen minutes.
Fortunately, we can still make it in time.
Upon arriving at the door of room 4408, Jiang Ran took out the universal room key she had prepared beforehand.
She bought it from a professional at a high price.
With a "beep", the room door opened.
Jiang Ran looked around to make sure no one was there before tiptoeing inside.
Once inside, she didn't dare linger. After placing a hidden listening device under the sofa, she immediately left the room.
This bugging device can listen in real time and also record audio. After leaving, Jiang Ran openly left the Emperor Hotel and went to a car that had been parked nearby inconspicuously.
As soon as she got on the bus, she received a message from Jiang Xue saying that Jiang Xinrou had gone out.
After waiting for about half an hour, she heard a sparse sound coming from her earphones, followed by the sound of high heels on the ground.
Excitement flashed in her eyes, and Jiang Ran, who had been slumped in her seat, immediately sat up straight, her expression becoming serious.
"How about it? Should I order a bottle of red wine?" A male voice came through the earpiece.
Then came Jiang Xinrou's indifferent voice: "Isn't that unnecessary? I've brought what you wanted. Let's get straight to the point."
"So eager?" The man's smiling voice carried a hint of lewdness. "Why do you think that's what I want most? What I really want most is you."
"Mr. Wang, please don't joke around. I'm not that kind of woman."
"Oh, just kidding~ Look at your face, all puffed up with anger, it's so cute to look at."
After a brief burst of sparse noise, Jiang Xinrou's voice rang out again: "I know that President Wang is currently competing with the Gu family for a piece of land. This is the bottom price offered by the Gu family."
"Looks like you don't really like that young master that much. You got this information from him, right?"
"Mr. Wang doesn't need to know about this, right? Then I'll congratulate Mr. Wang in advance on acquiring that land."
"Xinrou, why don't you come with me? I guarantee I can make you the most popular female star in the entertainment industry within a year. Don't be with that rich kid anymore. Although the Gu family is big, it's not involved in the entertainment industry. It can't help your career as much as I can."
"President Wang, please don't say such things again. Our relationship is limited to this transaction."
"Is that so?" The man's voice was full of threat: "Now that you've given me your bottom line, what can you do to me if I try to renege on the deal?"
"you--!"
"What? You don't actually dare to bring this up in front of that guy surnamed Gu, do you? If I'm not mistaken, what methods did you use to get that bottom price? You probably don't want him to know about it, do you?"
Jiang Xinrou's voice sounded somewhat exasperated: "You! What do you want?!"
"I like you so much, what can I do to you? I promised to clear your name and make you even more famous, and of course I can do it, provided you listen to me. If you don't behave, I'll have to have a good talk with that kid surnamed Gu."
"You—despicable!" Jiang Xinrou's sharp and angry voice rang out, followed by a series of cracking sounds, as if something had been smashed.
