C16 Ye Xiaoxiao Was Drugged

Lin Yuan furrowed his brow, deep in thought, before suddenly sneering.

"Look into the Gu family in the capital. See who's taken an interest in Bai Shuang."

He grabbed his phone and dialed Zhao Feng, his face an icy mask.

After the call, he promptly left the hillside.

The War God Shrine would take care of the assassin's body, ensuring no complications arose.

What Lin Yuan hadn't anticipated was the scene that greeted him upon reaching the roadside: scattered soldiers and no sign of Bai Shuang, who had already departed under Suen Lianhua's watchful eye.

He shrugged, a hint of resignation in his gesture. To Bai Shuang, his actions on the hill must have seemed cowardly, a retreat at a critical moment. It was only natural she'd have a poor opinion of him and storm off in a huff.

He made his way toward the villa at a leisurely pace; it wasn't a great distance.

Meanwhile, Bai Shuang sat stone-faced in the car.

Thankfully, Suen Lianhua was highly skilled; otherwise, the situation might have ended differently.

"Isn't it too risky leaving Lin Yuan out there by himself?"

Suen Lianhua couldn't hide her contempt for the man who had backed down when it mattered most.

Yet, he was their client, and her duty was to protect him. Halfway to their destination, she couldn't resist voicing her concern.

Bai Shuang turned to gaze out the window, her eyes filled with scorn.

"You were busy fighting that thug and didn't see Lin Yuan take off. He was quick, disappeared without a trace. He's certainly not in any danger."

Her voice grew heated with each word.

A man of stature abandoning two women to face danger alone was beyond cowardly; it was infuriating.

Suen Lianhua considered Bai Shuang's words and had to agree. The assailants were clearly after Bai Shuang. Lin Yuan, a son-in-law of no consequence, fleeing the scene was inconsequential to them—they hadn't spared him a second glance.

They decided not to continue driving to the villa.

Lin Yuan was walking alone by the roadside when an ostentatious red sports car zoomed past him. At first, Lin Yuan didn't give it much thought, but his exceptional eyesight and dynamic visual acuity allowed him to see clearly, despite the car's high speed. Inside was Bai Shuang's best friend, Ye XiaoXiao.

Her complexion was flushed, her eyes tightly closed, lying still in the passenger seat, obviously unconscious. What was more concerning was the young man driving, who was inappropriately touching her.

Lin Yuan's brow furrowed as he quickly grasped the situation. The driver clearly didn't seem like a decent person, and with Ye XiaoXiao in a drugged stupor, Lin Yuan knew something was terribly wrong.

He wasn't typically the type to play the hero, knowing such incidents were all too common and beyond his control. However, this was Bai Shuang's best friend, Ye XiaoXiao, and he couldn't just stand by after witnessing this.

In the blink of an eye, the sports car had advanced several dozen meters, but Lin Yuan spun around and burst into action, chasing after it with lightning speed. Known as the War God, Lin Yuan possessed extraordinary physical abilities beyond the average person's imagination.

Luckily, this wasn't a highway, and the sports car wasn't speeding excessively. Lin Yuan maintained a leisurely pace behind it, careful not to be detected.

He breathed a sigh of relief when the car's destination appeared to be close by. Within minutes, it slowed down and eventually parked beside a secluded house.

Lin Yuan stealthily positioned himself behind a large tree, his eyes sharply focused on the scene unfolding before him.

The driver's door swung open, and the young man emerged, his face flushed as he hurriedly carried the limp form of Ye XiaoXiao into the house. His accomplices lingered nearby, smirking in anticipation.

"Young Master, you've snagged a good one today," one of them remarked.

"Did the drug we provided work well?" another asked.

Their gazes clung to Ye XiaoXiao with unsettling intensity.

"Indeed, she's perfect. I followed this girl from abroad to China. Today, I finally got my chance to slip her the drug and fulfill my desire," the young man boasted. "After I'm done with her, she's all yours. Just make sure to snap some photos in case she tries to retaliate."

Zhou Kaizhi burst into laughter.

Ye XiaoXiao was not just strikingly beautiful, a sight to behold, but her family background was something beyond the wildest dreams of the average person. If he could bed her and snap some incriminating photos, Zhou Kaizhi could skyrocket to the top.

For a girl from such a prestigious family, her reputation was everything.

Lin Yuan, overhearing this from a distance, seethed with anger. He had always held the deepest contempt for this kind of behavior.

Moving like a shadow, he closed in silently. Within seconds, he had reached the corner of the room, unnoticed by the group who were still spouting their vile, shameless talk.

"Make sure this operation goes smoothly. Guard the door and make sure we're not discovered. And get some good shots of her; they'll come in handy for blackmail," Zhou Kaizhi instructed, smugness in his eyes.

With that, the group entered the room amidst laughter. Ye XiaoXiao, still unconscious, was hauled in unceremoniously. It was clear she had been drugged well before.

Lin Yuan, graceful as a cat, scaled the building and perched outside the second-story window, surveying the scene within.

Zhou Kaizhi hoisted Ye XiaoXiao onto the bed with red, frenzied eyes and labored breaths. Yet, she remained unresponsive, her body twisting on the bed as the drug's effects began to manifest.

Impatient, Zhou Kaizhi shooed his henchmen out and locked the door with force.

Now, the drug was in full swing. Ye XiaoXiao had even ripped her neckline, revealing swathes of her pale skin.

Zhou Kaizhi, unable to contain his eagerness, tore off his own clothes and set his phone to record at the side, clearly intending to use the footage as leverage later.

"You used to be so proud, not even letting me touch you. And now, here you are, lying at my feet," he sneered.

Unable to stand by any longer, Lin Yuan leapt in through the window.

Zhou Kaizhi was startled out of his wits at the sight of Lin Yuan materializing seemingly from thin air, his body shaking with fear.

He snapped back to reality in an instant, swiftly opening the door to summon his subordinates.

"Knock him out."

Lin Yuan let out a scornful chuckle. Did these weaklings really think they could lay a hand on him?

In the blink of an eye, every single one of them was sprawled on the ground.

They hadn't even registered what had happened before they were sent tumbling, their bodies convulsing.

To them, it was as if they had encountered a specter—could this even be a human being?
