Chapter 1173 - 1173 1173 Intended to Kill

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Intended to Kill Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Intended to Kill Fortunately, Luo Ziling stayed conscious, aware of the purpose he and Huang Menglan had for being in the room today.

He lightly bit his tongue, then reached out and patted Huang Menglan, “Lie down, let me give you an acupoint kneading.”

Huang Menglan yelped with an “Ouch,” then lunged over and hit Luo Ziling a few times while shouting “You’re terrible,” sticking her body onto his.

But to her surprise, Luo Ziling didn’t lunge back; instead, he reached his hand to her waist.

After kneading forcefully twice, a tingling sensation immediately spread across Huang Menglan’s waist, draining her of strength.

“Who sent you to seduce me?” Luo Ziling’s cold voice rang out.

At the sound of his voice, Huang Menglan’s body trembled violently, instinctively trying to struggle.

But her waist was restrained, rendering her powerless, unable to move at all.

“I know you’re just pretending to be Huang Menglan. You’ve been calling someone frequently these last few days. Tell me, who is it? If you admit, I might spare your life,” Luo Ziling continued to threaten, turning Huang Menglan’s body towards him.

“What… are you talking about? I don’t understand,” she stammered.

Luo Ziling pressed forcefully on several points on her waist, causing Huang Menglan to immediately feel paralyzing numbness, her lower body out of control. She was terrified beyond words.

Luo Ziling took a pill from his pocket and held Huang Menglan’s mouth open, forcing her to swallow it.

Then he opened a bottle of mineral water provided by the hotel and poured it into Huang Menglan’s mouth, ensuring she took the medication.

“This is a colorless, tasteless poison. It won’t act immediately but will anesthetize your nerves while you sleep, causing you to stop breathing and eventually suffocate to death.” Luo Ziling said, patted Huang Menglan’s mouth, and laughed brightly, “Since you’re not willing to confess who instructed you to do this, then you can taste the flavor of being wronged in death. It’s said one can transcend reality upon dying; hopefully, you’ll cross into ancient times and become a beautiful princess.”

“Luo Ziling, you can’t kill me,” Huang Menglan cried out, terrified, struggling to sit up, “I really didn’t do anything; I didn’t deliberately seduce you. I was just attracted by your appearance and fell for you, so…”

“Still not willing to confess?” Luo Ziling sneered coldly, “If I’m not wrong, you must be sent by Chen Jiahai or Ling Haining, right?”

Without waiting for the terrified Huang Menglan to reply, he continued: “I believe you’re well aware of my specialties. If you don’t confess, I will leave, and hopefully, someone will take care of your corpse.”

Saying that, he pinched another acupoint on Huang Menglan’s back.

Huang Menglan immediately felt like her back was being pricked by needles, the discomfort making her want to roll over, but she couldn’t garner any strength.

The fear of death and the unbearable feeling in her body quickly broke Huang Menglan’s defenses.

She started crying and pleading for Luo Ziling to spare her, promising to confess everything and begging him to stop torturing her.

Luo Ziling kneaded a few more points on her back; Huang Menglan immediately felt relief, but her lower body was still immobile, and her arms lacked strength.

She knew that Luo Ziling’s unique kneading technique had temporarily rendered her immobile.

If Luo Ziling left her like this, she would have no way to move; even if the medicine Luo Ziling fed her was fake, she feared she might still die here. She was well aware of Luo Ziling’s miraculous medical skills.

The unbearable pain had left a deep and terrifying impression on her.

“I am Chen Wanqing,” Huang Menglan sobbed, admitting everything, “It was Chen Jiahai who sent me to seduce you.”

“Chen Wanqing?” Luo Ziling couldn’t immediately recall who this familiar-sounding name belonged to.

Thinking Luo Ziling was merely shocked, Chen Wanqing continued: “After the last incident was exposed, he sent me to South Korea for plastic surgery, then had me return to the country. This time, he wanted me to get close to you and seduce you with my beauty to ultimately destroy you.”

Luo Ziling finally remembered who Chen Wanqing was—the beautiful teacher who had once tutored him in English.

Hearing that Chen Jiahai had sent her to South Korea for plastic surgery, to deliberately seduce him and ruin him, made Luo Ziling furious.

He hadn’t completely cut off Chen Jiahai, that scoundrel, who was so sneaky as to use the post-surgery Chen Wanqing to ruin him.

If it hadn’t been for Yang Qingyin’s reminder yesterday and Wuyue’s investigation, he would still be in the dark.

The thought made Luo Ziling shudder.

He was also furious.

In recent times, there had been incessant moves from the Chen Family. When he and Lin Lan were out on the streets, they had encountered a gang of pickpockets which, after a conflict, turned out to be orchestrated by Chen Jiahai. Another such incident happened today, suggesting that Chen Jiahai would not rest until he was dead.

A murderous intent swiftly surfaced in Luo Ziling’s heart.
