Chapter 342 Where did you touch her?
Cui Xiao frowned, her lips tightening unconsciously.
She deliberately softened her tone, making her voice sound calm and even, "Lawyer Zhou, you must be quite busy, there's no need for you to make a special trip alone. Why don't you have Qiqi..."
Before Cui Xiao could finish speaking, Zhou Mubin interrupted her, "Cui Xiao, are you that afraid to see me? Or are you afraid your boyfriend will be jealous?"
Cui Xiao fell silent, this time for even longer than before.
After a long while, she finally spoke, "I'm attending an international trade event at the Financial Building. If you have time, Mr. Zhou, you can come and see me. I have to go on a business trip with President Hou this afternoon, so I probably won't have much time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mubin immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go right now."
After hurriedly hanging up the phone, Cui Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
She leaned against the wall, looking at the chandelier above her head. The light was a bit too bright, causing her to squint unconsciously.
Is it still impossible to treat him like a stranger?
Cui Xiao stood there for a long time until her ankles, clad in ten-centimeter high heels, began to protest, and only then did she prepare to go and find President Hou.
Just as Cui Xiao turned around, she bumped into Pete. Startled, she exclaimed, "Mr. Pete, what are you doing here?"
Pete smiled, but the smile was far too malicious. "Miss Cui, I've been thinking about it."
As he spoke, Pete put his hands in his pockets and took a few more steps forward. Cui Xiao instinctively stepped back, but there was a wall behind her, and she had nowhere to retreat.
Cui Xiao said coldly, not even bothering to save face, "Pete, please have some self-respect."
"Self-respect?"
Pete shrugged. "I'm just pursuing a girl I like. How is that a lack of self-respect? In our country, it's a symbol of courage and passion."
Cui Xiao found that face disgusting and really hated it.
She reached out to push Pete away, but before her hand could touch him, he covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
Cui Xiao struggled a few times, but the drug was too strong, and she lost consciousness within seconds.
Pete successfully drugged her, held her in his arms, and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Beautiful lady, you still couldn't escape my grasp after all."
Then, in full view of everyone, Pete took Cui Xiao to the hotel upstairs.
Pete swiped the door open, and the person in his arms suddenly let out a very soft murmur, their eyelashes trembling.
Pie's squinting eyes were even more disgusting and slick, and his thumb unconsciously rubbed the fabric of her clothes at her waist. "Little beauty, don't worry, I'll satisfy you right away."
Pete dropped the pretense and gently placed Cui Xiao on the soft bed. Like a pervert, he leaned down and stared at her, his fingertips tracing a cold arc from her brow bone to her chin. "You're a real beauty. Tell me, if you had just agreed to my proposal, I wouldn't have bothered with all this."
Just then, Cui Xiao's phone vibrated and the screen lit up, displaying the words "Zhou Mubin".
Pete's eyes suddenly darkened, and he casually hung up the phone and tossed it aside.
Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he couldn't stop what he was going to do next.
Just as Pete had stripped naked, ready to have a good time, there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the door, accompanied by Zhou Mubin's shout, "Cui Xiao, are you in there? Open the door."
Pete abruptly stopped, his face instantly turning extremely grim.
Who dared to interrupt his good time?
Pete stormed to the door and peered through the peephole. A man in a suit stood outside, and his intuition told him this was the man who had just called Cui Xiao.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his tone, and asked in a somewhat impatient voice, "What Cui Xiao? You've got the wrong person. Get lost."
Did you get the wrong person?
Impossible. Cui Xiao's phone is located in this room; he wouldn't be mistaken.
Upon hearing the male voice from inside the door, Zhou Mubin's pupils dilated.
This voice isn't Mo Ziqian's. Could it be that Cui Xiao has found another man?
No, Cui Xiao isn't that kind of person.
not good.
Zhou Mubin immediately said, "Open the door, or I won't be polite."
Pete sneered, having no intention of continuing to entangle with Zhou Mubin, and walked straight back.
As the footsteps inside faded into the distance, Zhou Mubin grew increasingly anxious, his tone hardening, and his knocking on the door becoming more urgent.
"Open the door, I told you to open the door."
Pete didn't know Zhou Mubin's identity and didn't take him seriously.
He turned and glanced at Cui Xiao on the bed, his lust growing stronger in his eyes. He couldn't wait any longer; he couldn't wait to make love with this woman.
Pete bent down and pinned Cui Xiao beneath him, his fingertips lifting the hem of her skirt, captivating him with her smooth, delicate skin.
This woman was even more delicious than he had imagined.
Just as Pete's hand moved up his calf, Cui Xiao's fingers suddenly twitched, and his eyelids began to tremble slightly.
Pete's heart tightened. She was about to wake up. It seemed the dosage wasn't enough this time. What a hassle.
He needs to speed things up.
Zhou Mubin outside the door was frantic. He screamed Cui Xiao's name with all his might, and the pressure on his feet increased.
Just as Pete was about to unbutton Cui Xiao's dress, Zhou Mubin kicked the closed door open from the outside.
Pete was startled and looked at Zhou Mubin, who was filled with murderous intent, walking towards him with fear.
Without a word, Zhou Mubin grabbed the naked Pete and punched him. Pete had no time to react and took the full force of the punch, followed by a second punch, and a third punch.
Zhou Mubin used all his strength, beating Pete like a madman. Pete was beaten so badly that he was powerless to fight back and collapsed on the ground, barely alive.
Then, Zhou Mubin grabbed his neck and stared intently at her, "Where did you touch her?"
Pete coughed up blood and stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence, "I..."
Zhou Mubin was in a bloodthirsty rage. He shoved Pete to the window, half of his body dangling in mid-air. "If you don't talk, you're dead."
Pete's eyes widened. "NO."
As Pete struggled, a cold wind suddenly rushed in, ruffling Cui Xiao's hair.
She slowly opened her eyes, and Zhou Mubin's profile was reflected in her pupils. His profile was filled with murderous intent. Cui Xiao had known Zhou Mubin for eleven years and had never seen him like this before.
"Zhou Mubin".
The light, airy shouts made Zhou Mubin think he was hallucinating.
He subconsciously turned around and saw Cui Xiao looking at him weakly, and then he heard her say again, "No, it's not worth it."
All the anger vanished upon hearing her voice.
Zhou Mubin threw Pete to the ground, tied his hands to the bed leg with a tie, and called the police.
After dealing with everything, Zhou Mubin walked step by step to Cui Xiao's side, took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. His eyes were still cold. "Are you... alright?"
Cui Xiao gritted her teeth, her brows furrowed.
She couldn't imagine what the consequences would have been if Zhou Mubin had arrived even a moment later.
After a long pause, Cui Xiao looked at Zhou Mubin with great sincerity, "...Thank you."
