“Uh…” Qiao Zhen was speechless.
Why?
Since the Qiao family went bankrupt and her father passed away, she has become accustomed to shouldering everything alone.
Now, let's add one more thing—she doesn't want to owe Lu Zheng too much.
Otherwise, she would become completely trapped and unable to extricate herself.
She swallowed hard. "I think I can handle this myself. I don't want to bother Mr. Lu."
Lu Zheng looked at her quietly, his expression revealing neither satisfaction nor doubt.
Qiao Zhen had a bit of a headache and muttered, "President Lu probably only stepped in now because he thinks I can handle it."
"Heh." Lu Zheng chuckled coldly, kicking He Yang. "What do you plan to do next?"
The handcrafted, custom-made black leather shoes gleamed, and the toes of the shoes kicked He Yang's ribs again and again.
He Yang let out a pig-like scream, "Don't kill me—"
Qiao Zhen said, "Please call the police for me, Mr. Lu."
Lu Zheng's complexion improved slightly, and he took out his phone.
Qiao Zhen picked up the mineral water bottle that had fallen to the ground during her argument with the cleaning lady, handed it to Lu Zheng, then turned on her phone's video recording function again, and quickly walked into room 307. After looking around the small room, she quickly noticed the black travel bag next to the bedside table.
She took out a tissue, covered the zipper of the travel bag, and carefully unzipped it.
"Oh my god—" the cleaning lady who followed in exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise.
Although she was terrified of the devilish man who had suddenly appeared, and dared not utter a word, her intense curiosity compelled her to take a step forward and follow Qiao Zhen into the guest room.
As a result... she blushed, and on some impulse, she grabbed her travel bag and dumped everything inside onto the bed.
Before Qiao Zhen could stop them, she coldly watched as the extremely sexy lace lingerie, various eye-catching props, and an expensive brand-name camera rolled onto the clean white blanket.
She felt nauseous.
The usefulness of these things is obvious.
The boy she remembered as sunny, cheerful, and kind had turned out to be so ugly and disgusting in reality. The thought of them holding hands made her want to disinfect herself with alcohol immediately.
"The police will be here in five minutes..." Lu Zheng appeared at the door.
He saw what was on the bed, frowned deeply, his face turned terrifying, and he turned to beat He Yang.
"Don't move, or the police will arrest you!" Qiao Zhen warned the cleaning lady and quickly chased after her, calling out, "Lu Zheng!"
She grabbed Lu Zheng's arm, but he stopped at the same time. Before she could react, she had already bumped into Lu Zheng's back.
"Ugh—" Tears welled up in her eyes as she rubbed the tip of her nose.
Lu Zheng turned around, his slender fingers gently wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes. "Are you alright?"
Qiao Zhen shook her head and hurriedly said, "Don't hit him. Be careful, or you might be charged with assault or charged with excessive self-defense. It's not worth getting into legal trouble for scum like him."
Lu Zheng pressed the back of her head and rubbed it. "Does she really care about me?"
"Yes, yes," Qiao Zhen replied repeatedly, wanting only to soothe Lu Zheng's agitated heart as quickly as possible.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Zhen was pulled into Lu Zheng's arms. The force was so gentle that it prevented her nose from being injured again.
Listening to the man's energetic heartbeat, she sighed silently.
The police arrived quickly, and Qiao Zhen confessed in detail that He Yang had drugged the mineral water and prepared various sex toys in the room, intending to take advantage of her.
The police carefully accepted the mineral water bottle, took photos of the room as evidence, and questioned the cleaning lady and the middle-aged man at the front desk on the first floor.
"Nonsense, she's talking nonsense!" He Yang was lifted up by the police.
After being hit hard by a mineral water bottle, he bled profusely from his nose, which covered half of his face. He was unaware of how ridiculous and pathetic he looked. Despite the pain, he kicked his legs wildly.
"We're boyfriend and girlfriend, is it illegal to have some fun and play around with each other?! Oh, Qiao Zhen, you have another man, so you framed me so you could run off with him, right?!"
In front of several pairs of eyes, Lu Zheng, the "wild man," casually put his arm around Qiao Zhen's shoulder and said, "You two broke up a long time ago. Zhenzhen is my woman."
"Shameless!" He Yang shouted hoarsely.
Lu Zheng chuckled coldly, "Save your energy for prison."
He Yang shivered violently, feeling as if countless needles were piercing his entire body, both cold and painful.
"How could I possibly go to jail? Lu Zheng, don't think you can cover up everything and act with impunity! Officers, please investigate him! His money must have come from illegitimate sources; he's probably done countless illegal things in secret!"
The police officer's ears were ringing from his shouting. He yelled, "Shut up! Go back to the station and tell us what you have to say!"
He Yang shuddered and feigned pitifulness like a quail, "Uncle Policeman..."
The police ignored him and shoved the man into their police car.
Lu Zheng accompanied Qiao Zhen to the police station to give a statement, and the test results for the bottle of water came out quickly.
Just as Qiao Zhen had predicted, the water contained a significant concentration of sleeping pills, which could induce a deep sleep within three minutes.
Police officers collecting evidence at the scene discovered sleeping pills and syringes in a hidden pocket on the side of the travel bag.
Upon comparison, the ingredients of the sleeping pills were found to be the same, and the syringe tube was the same size as the hole on the mineral water bottle.
Soon, He Yang was detained.
Lu Zheng assigned a lawyer to handle the follow-up matters.
Before leaving the police station, the police officer said, "He Yang asked Miss Qiao for her understanding, saying that he was coerced and acted in a moment of confusion."
Qiao Zhen, her face cold, noticed that Lu Zheng was staring intently at her, and said, word by word, "I will not forgive him."
