Chapter 1134: The Story of Ling and Heng (397)
Ten minutes later.
“Boss, we found him.” Two of the bodyguards weaved through the crowd and approached Li Nanheng from the back and whispered to him: “Miss Feng spent a lot of money to bribe one of the servers hired last minute. She then claimed to be feeling unwell and made her way to the rooms specially arranged for the guests to rest. She settled in one of the rooms and hasn’t left for more than fifteen minutes. After we brought the surveillance camera records to the server, he confessed everything for fear that we would report him. Miss Feng is over there waiting for him to bring you in after you drink that wine.”
As they spoke, the two bodyguards lifted their heads to scan Li Nanheng’s face. Boss Li’s expression did not give anything away and no one could tell he had been drugged.
Qin Siting turned to Li Nanheng. Li Nanheng expressionlessly lit a cigarette and placed it in his mouth. He then narrowed his cold, black eyes and turned toward the Plum Lounge. He scanned the various businessmen that had previously competed with the Li Corporation and noticed an old CEO that was rather intoxicated.
“I say, why don’t you sacrifice your body for a bit. The entire Feng family will immediately become yours.” Qin Siting saw that Li Nanheng’s tolerance was quite good. He was holding in his laughter with all his might. “What are you hesitating for? Go on, ah.”
Li Nanheng glanced at him mildly: “Why don’t you do it?”
Qin Siting chuckled. “After so many years in medicine, I feel a violent sense of disgust against any sort of bacteria that spreads rapidly. I definitely can’t do it.”
“So you do know that it’s a bacteria that spreads rapidly; it’s not any sort of good thing. Do you think this old man’s desire is unfulfilled to that extent? Do you expect me to be able to do it as long as it’s a woman?” Li Nanheng nibbled the cigarette between his lips and glanced at the building where the resting room was located. He narrowed his eyes coldly to say. “I can’t blame her for not wanting to return to the Feng family. That sort of swamp; there’s no harm staying further away from it.”
“Who?” Qin Siting glanced at him.
Although Qin Siting appeared graceful, gentle and mild, his intelligence was out of the ordinary. There was no need for Li Nanheng to say more for him to understand this matter. Within three seconds, his brows moved.
Without waiting for Qin Siting to speak, Li Nanheng chuckled coldly. He did not explain as he tossed his cigarette into an ashtray a server was carrying nearby. He lifted his feet and headed toward the Plum Lounge.
——
In Mr. Kai Da’s villa, the resting rooms arranged for the important guests were located on the third floor of the villa where the Chrysanthemum Lounge was.
Along the curved staircase, a certain old and bald CEO in his forties was being supported up by a server. He had a large beer belly.
This server was the very one that had been bribed by Feng Mingzhu earlier. Right now, his heart was rattled by fear as he supported the old CEO up the stairs. His gaze s.h.i.+fted backwards every now and then, but when he met the eyes of the two fierce bodyguards by the side, he was immediately frightened into silence. He continued helping the man up.
When they arrived on the third floor, the server whispered: “It’s this floor… Miss Feng, Miss Feng is in the room ahead…”
Li Nanheng approached from the back and expressionlessly glanced at the direction they were heading in.
When that CEO Liu from Guo Xia corporation was supported in, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze away coldly. He turned to the windows at the end of the hallway; coincidentally, he could look into the entrance of the Orchid Lounge from here.
Feng Ling and Ji Nuan were both holding onto their phones. Who knew what game Ji Nuan had found again, and had roped Feng Ling into playing with her. Feng Ling was tapping on her phone seriously with furrowed brows. It was clear that this was her first attempt and she had lost.
Several minutes later, Feng Ling gradually mastered the game and her brows relaxed. Her eyes also carried a smile. Every so often, she would chat happily with Ji Nuan while they tapped along on their phones.
He then glanced at the red scarf she had carefully placed on the couch. A hint of smile flashed past Li Nanheng’s eyes.
At the same time, on the other end of the hallway, a light knock resounded against the room door. Under the bodyguards’ cold eyes, the server called: “Miss Feng… I brought the person here. Is it convenient for me to open the door now?”
Not too long after, Feng Mingzhu’s m.u.f.fled voice could be heard: “I’m showering. Bring him in first.”
“All right.” The server pushed the door gently and found that it was actually unlocked. He could only thicken his skin and bring the intoxicated CEO Liu in. He did not dare to linger. On the inside was Miss Feng, who had tossed a bank card containing a hundred thousand yuan to him earlier, and on the outside was the bodyguards who were waiting to take his life. He rushed to place CEO Liu down before turning to look at the bathroom. He then spun around to escape; it was as though the bottom of his shoes had been smeared with oil.
The moment he left the room, he slammed into the two bodyguards that had yet to leave. When he met their fierce gaze, his legs immediately weakened and he almost fell kneeling on the ground. He spoke pleadingly: “I beg you… let me go… please… I’ve already done everything you instructed… I have both the old and the young to support at home… It isn’t easy to survive in this world and I couldn’t help but be blinded by greed. Please let me off…”
One of the bodyguards glanced at him coldly. “You little brat, you look like you’re in your early twenties. I don’t doubt you have the old to take care of, but the young? You?”
The server’s expression instantly stiffened. He rushed to explain: “T-the people back at my home all marry early… I… I really do have children…”
“Don’t explain to us. Later, we’ll bring you to a place where you can explain all you like.” The bodyguard was too lazy to entertain him. He slapped the server’s head and shoved him toward the other bodyguard. The two of them pressed him down and warned him to stay silent, and to not disturb the people inside.
The server trembled from head to toe in fear and did not dare to speak. He gazed at them pleadingly but saw that they were unmoved. He then turned to the man who was standing before the window in silence. Even his back view alone was frightening enough to leave his legs even weaker.
Inside the room.
CEO Liu snored drunkenly on the bed while Feng Mingzhu showered in the bathroom. She had never seen Li Nanheng sleep and a.s.sumed those rough noises were made by him. As she showered, she was both agitated and bashful as she felt her cheeks burning up. She rushed to finish showering, wanting to complete the deal quickly.
After all, someone like Li Nanheng was far too aware. She wasn’t sure how effective such a drug was against him. However, at least for the first half of the night, it would be sufficient… Thus, she needed to make full use of the time.
At this moment, CEO Liu choked on his own snores and abruptly woke up coughing. He dazedly felt the urge to use the bathroom. As he heard the noise of running water in the bathroom, he sat up from the bed and staggered towards it.
