C21 So Sexy!!
Zhang Chen's mind reeled with shock.
"Why didn't you stop them? Why didn't you call for help?" he demanded, panic edging his voice as his eyes reddened with urgency.
Loong San hung his head. "I'm sorry, Young Master Chen. You didn't instruct me to intervene."
Zhang Chen was at a loss for words.
"Call for help, now! Call the police!" he cried out, his anxiety palpable.
"Young Master Chen, we two are sufficient," Loong San asserted in a deep tone.
Just the two of them would be enough?
But Lin Zhiqing had already been taken to her room by Lee Junyi and his men, leaving Zhang Chen with no time to ponder their odds.
With his jaw clenched, Zhang Chen commanded, "We're going to rescue Zhiqing, now!"
Without another word, he and Loong San charged into the hotel.
Inside, Lee Junyi's bodyguards dumped the barely conscious Lin Zhiqing onto the bed before exiting the room.
Lin Zhiqing fought to keep her wits, but her consciousness was slipping away.
She looked up to see Lee Junyi at the door, peeling off his coat with a sinister grin.
Panic surged within her as she asked, "Young Master Lee, what are you doing?"
Lee Junyi's sneer was cold. "What does it look like? I'm going to bed with you."
His words jolted Lin Zhiqing to a fraction more awareness.
It was only then that she grasped the gravity of Zhang Chen's earlier words, but regret was already too late.
Her body burned with feverish heat, her skin scorching to the touch, her breaths coming out warm.
"Young Master Lee, this is wrong. It's illegal," Lin Zhiqing managed to say, her gaze growing hazy.
She tried to rise, but her body was devoid of strength.
"Breaking the law?" Lee Junyi mocked with a taunting laugh.
"Miss Lin, if anyone's breaking the law, it's you. You drugged me to force a pregnancy and leverage it against me for the sake of a deal with the Lee family."
"You initiated this relationship against my will!"
Fear gripped Lin Zhiqing's heart.
Lee Junyi chuckled once more. "The key thing is, I've got a witness."
With those words, he began to cackle wickedly.
Lin Zhiqing clutched the bedsheet tightly, her teeth biting down hard!
Yet Lin Zhiqing's consciousness was fading, her heart sinking into utter despair.
A single tear streaked down Lin Zhiqing's cheek. She was filled with regret!
In an instant, Lee Junyi was upon her.
"I barely managed to get you drunk last time before Zhang Chen interfered. This time, not even the heavens can save you!" Lee Junyi licked his cracked lips, his eyes brimming with excitement.
At his words, Lin Zhiqing's mind reeled with the memory.
Last time...
The hotel scene involuntarily surfaced in her mind, and she realized the truth.
But...
It was too late.
Tears streamed down Lin Zhiqing's face as her body burned with fever.
In her moment of despair, Zhang Chen's image inexplicably came to her, and tears fell unchecked.
Her consciousness grew dimmer, and through the haze, Lee Junyi's sinister smile loomed closer.
Lin Zhiqing's awareness was slipping away.
Lee Junyi, giddy with anticipation, was about to leap at Lin Zhiqing when a muffled sound of combat erupted from outside.
Lee Junyi's brow creased, and a sneer curled his lip. "Zhang Chen? Against my four newly hired ex-special forces? You think you can just storm in?"
He turned back, reaching out with avarice etched on his face.
But as Lee Junyi's hand nearly grazed Lin Zhiqing, the thud of impact sounded once more!
The door was slammed against the wall with a thunderous crash!
The noise startled Lee Junyi, who was already on edge, nearly sending him to his demise.
"Who's there?"
Lee Junyi roared, spinning around to bark the question.
But his words hung in the air as his eyes locked onto the figure at the door.
Loong San stood there, his face a portrait of stern resolve.
The four bodyguards lay on the ground behind him, writhing in agony, their moans of pain unceasing.
Zhang Chen stood dumbfounded behind Loong San.
It was horrifying!
Zhang Chen hadn't even caught a glimpse of how Loong San had moved; he only heard a series of muffled thuds.
And just like that, all four bodyguards were down.
Loong San was formidable!
It took a while for Zhang Chen to regain his composure before he slowly turned his attention to the room.
Upon seeing Lin Zhiqing contorted in pain, fury filled his eyes.
With clenched teeth and a dark expression, Zhang Chen stepped into the room.
Loong San remained close, his eyes glinting with a sharp intensity.
Lee Junyi was visibly shaken, his eyes reflecting utter bewilderment.
Weren't these bodyguards all former special forces?
How had they been so easily bested...
Lee Junyi looked up again, his gaze upon Loong San now tinged with horror.
Zhang Chen's eyes narrowed, his voice harsh, "Lee Junyi, you're digging your own grave!"
Lee Junyi shuddered at Zhang Chen's words.
It wasn't Zhang Chen he feared, but the formidable Loong San by his side.
Lee Junyi swallowed hard, his mind racing, and a glint of desperation flashed in his eyes.
"Brother, how much did Zhang Chen pay you? I'll double it! No, I'll give you ten times more!"
Lee Junyi blurted out in desperation, grasping at the only solution he could think of.
Loong San's lips curled into a mocking sneer as he replied coolly, "Not interested."
Zhang Chen's jaw tightened, his fists balled up in rage.
The sight of Lin Zhiqing's distress ignited a towering fury within him.
"Take him away!" Zhang Chen commanded sternly.
First things first, he needed to address Lin Zhiqing's situation.
"Yes, sir!"
Loong San responded with deference and marched over to Lee Junyi.
In a panic, Lee Junyi blurted out, "Stay back! I am the Lee family's Young Master! You..."
His plea was cut short as Loong San's hand struck his cheek with a resounding slap.
Lee Junyi's head spun, his consciousness scattering into disarray.
Then, like a ragdoll, he was hauled out of the room by the shoulder, carried away by Loong San.
The door shut, leaving Zhang Chen and Lin Zhiqing alone in the room.
"I'm so hot... I feel incredibly hot..." Lin Zhiqing's murmurs floated from the bed, her voice dreamlike. She writhed in discomfort, feeling as though countless insects were feasting on her flesh.
Zhang Chen inhaled sharply, his anxiety spiking as he hurried to her side. Lin Zhiqing's face was flushed like a perfectly ripe apple.
"Why won't you listen?" he asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.
After a moment's thought, he resolved to take her to the bathroom. Approaching the bed, he bent down, intending to lift her in his arms. The scene before him was undeniably alluring, but Zhang Chen was not one to exploit vulnerability, especially given the nature of his relationship with Lin Zhiqing.
He reached out, cradling her neck gently. The moment his skin met hers, a searing heat surged into his palm.
Damn Lee Junyi!
Zhang Chen clenched his jaw in fury, wishing he could tear the despicable Lee Junyi limb from limb. But he refocused on Lin Zhiqing, setting aside his anger.
As he prepared to lift her, an unexpected strength pulsed from his arm, tilting his body toward the bed.
His eyes shot open in surprise.
Lin Zhiqing, in her delirium, had latched onto his arm tightly. She was beyond self-control.
"Zhiqing, you..." he began, but she cut him off with her sudden movement.
With a struggle, she stood and flung herself into his arms, her body writhing in agony.
Zhang Chen's eyes went wide.
Before he could process the situation, Lin Zhiqing's delicate face was drawing closer and closer to his own.
He drew a deep breath, his mind reeling.
Then, in a heartbeat, her soft lips found his, setting off an explosion in his head.
The heat of her breath invaded his senses, filled with an intoxicating scent that nearly drove him to the brink of madness.
Overwhelmed by the fragrance enveloping him, Zhang Chen's heart raced with excitement.
Lin Zhiqing was completely in the dark about her actions; an endless void was all she could see.
Her responses were purely instinctual!
Zhang Chen struggled to swallow, his heartbeat thundering at its peak.
