Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Accident

"Senior, is it really okay for us to meet in private? I’m afraid my husband will misunderstand."

"Qingli, am I really so despicable in your eyes?"

"I’ve come to realize over time that you’ve found your happiness, and I should start to let go."

"So, I wish you well. This time, I asked to see you not to pester you, but just to bid you a proper goodbye before I return to Jinling."

"If you’re unwilling to grant even this small request... then forget it!"

Zhang Yaoyang’s tone was filled with helplessness, making Luo Qingli feel somewhat embarrassed.

If Zhang Yaoyang could truly move on, it would mean less trouble for her.

"Alright, let’s meet tomorrow then!" Luo Qingli replied before ignoring him.

Just then, Chen Xiao emerged from the bathroom, draped in a bath towel.

Luo Qingli said, "I have something to take care of tomorrow and will be back late. If you miss me, just call me directly."

Chen Xiao frowned. "When you work overtime, you never ask me to call you."

Luo Qingli shot him a look. "If I don’t take the initiative, can’t you show a little more concern on your own? I’m a girl, you know! Can’t you be more considerate?!"

"Alright, alright!" Chen Xiao nodded helplessly.

「Elsewhere.」

Zhang Yaoyang put down his phone, a cold smile curling his lips. He asked obsequiously, "Young Master Jiang, was my performance just now acceptable?"

"Not bad at all!" Jiang Tianyi patted his shoulder in approval. "When the plan succeeds, you’ll get your cut."

"This is a drug I bought on the black market. After she drinks it, even the most resolute woman will... heh heh! When the time comes, just slip it into her drink..."

"Once we succeed, won’t that bitch Luo Qingli just be a plaything in our hands? We can do whatever we want with her, and it’ll be a dream come true for you, too..."

"Don’t worry. Now that you’re on board with us, you’re one of our own. I’ll take good care of you," Jiang Tianyi said, patting his shoulder with a reassuring smile.

"Excellent!" Zhang Yaoyang said fawningly. "Young Master Jiang, when the time comes... I’ll be at your command!"

"That bitch Luo Qingli... she’s heartless and ungrateful! She took my sincere devotion and treated it like dirt! Since she fell for that good-for-nothing Chen Xiao, she can’t blame me for being ruthless..."

Qin Zihao took a drag from his cigarette and said soothingly, "General Zhang, think bigger! A married woman... doesn’t that just add to the flavor? When the time comes, we can have our fun while starting a video call with Chen Xiao. We’ll let him get a good look at his wife’s slutty side. Wouldn’t that be perfect?"

The men exchanged a look and broke into lewd laughter.

「The next evening, at ten o’clock.」

Lying in bed and playing on his phone, Chen Xiao recalled what Luo Qingli had said the night before. He decided he should call and check on her. Though reluctant to admit it, he was, in fact, a little worried about her safety.

He made several calls, but none connected. Her phone was switched off!

This made his brow furrow.

What’s going on? She told me to call, and now her phone is off?

A sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

Just then, his phone buzzed with a multimedia message from an unknown number. He opened it, and a photo filled the screen.

Instantly, his breath caught in his throat.

In the photo, Luo Qingli was nestled against a man as they walked away together. From the back, the man was unmistakably Zhang Yaoyang.

Although Luo Qingli had previously explained there was nothing special between her and Zhang Yaoyang, what was this intimate gesture supposed to mean?

Just then, another message arrived from the same number: "Your wife has been drugged and taken away. Want to know where she is?"

Luo Qingli was drugged and taken away? That seemed like the most likely possibility. Besides, if she really wanted to have a secret rendezvous with Zhang Yaoyang, why would she have gone out of her way to say that to me last night?

Chen Xiao quickly typed back, "Who are you?"

"Never mind who I am. If you want to know your wife’s whereabouts, come find me at the Yunhai Hotel, room 318."

Chen Xiao didn’t dare to delay. He bolted from his room and sped toward the Yunhai Hotel. On the way, he frantically redialed Luo Qingli’s number, but all his calls went unanswered.

A murderous glint entered Chen Xiao’s eyes.

"Zhang Yaoyang, if a single hair on Luo Qingli’s head is harmed, I’ll skin you alive!"
