Su Peishan stood on a quiet path; at this moment, she had returned to the manor.
The path was lined with lush groves, and occasionally the calls of some kind of bird could be heard. Although streetlights were installed along the road, the surrounding environment still felt particularly eerie.
She cursed Du Muchen inwardly. He said he would protect her from the shadows, but she had searched everywhere and never saw him.
Just as Su Peishan was debating whether or not to send Du Muchen a message, footsteps came from the depths of the dense forest.
Her heart leaped into her throat. She stood behind a banyan tree, its trunk barely enough to conceal her figure.
"It's nearby, search carefully for me."
An unpleasant male voice rang out, and Su Peishan immediately held her breath, not daring to make a sound.
Because she recognized the speaker as Mu Qing.
As Du Muchen had predicted, that scoundrel Mu Qing was actually thinking of capturing her.
Mu Qing stood there, a cigarette lit in his hand, looking around with a cold expression.
This woman ruined the banquet and caused his relationship with Shen Li to be exposed. If we let her leave so easily, it would be too good for her.
My men just reported from the monitoring room that they saw her nearby.
Heh, this is a manor in the suburbs. The surrounding area for miles is his private property. She has no chance of leaving the manor on her own, especially since she has been drugged.
Su Peishan saw several of her men approaching her; they only needed to walk a few more steps to find her.
She felt a little nervous, but when she remembered that Du Muchen had said he was secretly protecting her nearby, her wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.
He lifted his foot and moved slightly to the left, then turned and walked deeper into the woods.
The surroundings were unusually quiet, and the commotion Su Peishan made immediately attracted the attention of Mu Qing and his men.
"They're there! Go after them!"
Su Peishan took off running into the dense forest. The path was dirt and overgrown with weeds. She was wearing high heels, and even though she tried her best, Mu Qing and her group caught up with her in no time.
Several large men surrounded her.
Su Peishan lifted her skirt, breathing heavily, her eyes warily fixed on the group of people surrounding her.
Mu Qing walked over slowly, like a supreme king, looking down at Su Peishan with a condescending gaze.
"Miss Su, why are you running?"
"Mr. Mu, I think you know better than I do what's in my drink."
Mu Qing looked Su Peishan up and down.
"I also admire Miss Su. She drank wine laced with sleeping pills and managed to hold on until now."
Su Peishan raised an eyebrow: "President Mu, are you finally admitting that you were the one who drugged me?"
As she asked the question, Su Peishan glanced around out of the corner of her eye.
Du Muchen should be nearby; what she needs to do is get Mu Qing to admit that she drugged him.
At this moment, in Mu Qing's eyes, Su Peishan was already a fish on the chopping block, and no matter how stubborn she was, she couldn't escape his grasp.
"Miss Su, you are the first woman I've ever tried to win over using this method. In my heart, you are far superior to all those other women who surround me all day long. As long as you stay with me, I promise that if Eve gets any good resources in the future, I will definitely consider your artists first. How about it?"
Su Peishan sneered inwardly.
At this critical juncture, this scumbag is still trying to appease her with empty promises.
If she were truly the kind of woman who would stop at nothing to climb the social ladder, she might actually believe his lies.
His current promise is nothing more than to get her to obey him. If he achieves his goal, whether he keeps his promise or not will depend on his mood.
Men really are all big pigs.
