"You..." A wave of dizziness washed over her. Yi Tianran rubbed her forehead, staring at the man opposite her, her voice weak and feeble as she asked, "What did you do to me?"
Yi Qilin smiled smugly and reminded her, "Cousin, do you remember that cup of coffee you drank not long after you came in? How could you be so careless! You dared to drink it just because someone offered it to you. Sigh... It seems that Yi Zhe is really useful; he was able to make you lower your guard."
"You... you added something to it." As the difficult words fell, Yi Tianran's vision went black, and her body went limp as she fell forward.
Yi Qilin had anticipated the timing. Seeing this, he caught her and dragged her upstairs to a suite, where he threw her heavily onto the bed.
Yi Tianran's head hit the headboard, and a sharp pain brought her back to consciousness.
She struggled to open her eyes and saw that her hands and feet were tied to a large bed, with several camera stands around her.
In an instant, her pupils contracted sharply, and her voice trembled slightly, "Yi Qilin, what do you want to do?"
"What are you doing?" Yi Qilin's face revealed a malicious smile. "Doesn't your cousin have any experience? Didn't you just climb into Fu Yunchen's bed by selling your body? Look... there are six cameras around here, covering all 360 degrees, filming you from beginning to end!"
In a little while, once the drug takes effect, I'll bring in a few more men to satisfy you. At that time, you can scream and shout as loudly as you want, and I'll record the whole thing and send it to that President Fu to see.
What do you think he'll think of you after he sees this, or rather, will he still want you?
He made no attempt to conceal his shameless plan, his face filled with malice and resentment as intense and terrifying as a demon crawling out of hell.
Yi Tianran's face turned pale, and she stared wide-eyed. "You want to use this kind of method to make me lose Fu Yunchen as my backer?"
“That’s right! I believe that a man of his status would not pamper a filthy, lowly woman who has been having affairs with several other men.”
As a man himself, Yi Qilin put himself in others' shoes and believed this from the bottom of his heart.
Yi Tianran laughed angrily and said fiercely, "Even if you do this, you can't take all the property from me!"
"I have to say, you're really stupid!" Yi Qilin shook his head with slight disappointment. "With this video in hand, if you want to protect yourself and prevent the whole world from seeing your shameful bedroom photos, then you have to listen to me and transfer all your assets to me!"
"Pah!" Yi Tianran spat at him fiercely. "I'd rather be a broken jade than a whole tile!"
"Oh? What a bold move!" Yi Qilin clapped his hands, but his eyes were full of malice as he said, "If I show the video to the old woman and tell her that you were drugged and suffered so much torment and humiliation, that you were in so much pain that you wished you were dead, do you think her heart could take it?"
Her grandmother was her Achilles' heel!
Yi Tianran's pupils shrank, and she said in disbelief, "Yi Qilin, that's your grandmother too. How could you be so heartless?"
Yi Qilin retorted viciously, "Me, heartless? That's because that old hag is biased. We're all grandchildren with no blood relation, but she only favors you. She's held onto the family business for decades, and in the end, it all went to you. Don't blame me for being heartless because she treated me like this."
It was clearly his own ulterior motives, and the old lady wasn't stupid; of course she could tell who was sincere towards her and who was just pretending.
"What about Yi Zhe!" Yi Tianran gritted her teeth, her eyes seemingly blazing with fire. "He trusted you so much, admired you so much, yet you used him to get close to me and harm me. Aren't you afraid he'll hate you when he finds out the truth?"
"So what if he hates me?" Yi Qilin scoffed. "He was just a pawn I used to manipulate. Once I've achieved my goal, he'll lose his usefulness."
Yi Tianran narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "So you didn't hesitate to use a self-inflicted injury to hurt yourself?"
"He even told you this?" Yi Qilin clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. "I knew that beast would betray me sooner or later! Don't worry, after I deal with you, he'll be next. From now on, no one will be competing with me for power anymore."
After hearing his words, Yi Tianran suddenly laughed, "See, you've exposed your true nature. I knew it, you couldn't hide your ugly face for long, you'd expose yourself sooner or later."
Yi Qilin's heart skipped a beat, and he roared, "What are you laughing at? You've already fallen to this state, do you think you have any way out?"
Although Yi Tianran was bound, she showed no sign of panic. Instead, she said in a clear voice, "You heard it all, didn't you? Is there any need to doubt who is using you now, Yi Zhe?"
The moment the words were spoken, the door outside was pushed open with a creak.
Yi Zhe walked in, his face pale, his eyes filled with sorrow and pain as he looked at Yi Qilin. "So, this is the reason you had me adopted and kept alive? You only wanted to use me to achieve your goals from beginning to end, and then eliminate me, is that right?"
Yi Qilin was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He shouted incredulously, "What's going on? Weren't you taken away? Bodyguards, the few random men I arranged outside, come in!"
However, the response he received was a voice that was both strange and familiar, "Yi Qilin is such a profit-driven guy, he's not so kind as to adopt you. He clearly had us kidnap you from your biological father!"
The figures of a man and a woman came into view at the same time.
Yi Qilin staggered back two steps, as if he had seen a ghost, and exclaimed in astonishment, "You...you guys are still alive!"
"What? Are you surprised that we weren't pushed off the cliff and died?" Xu's mother's face was contorted with rage as she rushed forward and grabbed his collar, furiously saying, "Yi Qilin, you are worse than a pig or a dog! All these years we have obeyed your orders have been for nothing."
After abducting the young Xu Zhe, they took care of him under the guise of being his parents, but in reality, they were monitoring him.
Over the years, we have never thought of disobeying you, much less betraying you. In the end, we even planned to pack our bags and leave the country, far away from this place of trouble.
And what did you do? You actually sent people to wipe us out completely. If it weren't for Miss Yi's people saving us, we would have been reporting to the King of Hell long ago.
Since you are so heartless and ruthless, don't blame us for exposing your evil deeds!
The resounding words stunned Yi Qilin, who almost instinctively pushed him away and angrily said, "You're talking nonsense! Are you under orders from Yi Tianran to deliberately smear me?"
