Chapter 94: Chapter 94

When Guan Heng saw Yu Man, his eyes lit up.

He grabbed Yu Man’s hand, "Sister Man, help me..."

Yu Man opened the door to her room, let Guan Heng in, and then locked the door behind them.

"What on earth happened?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel_fіre.net

She noticed that Guan Heng seemed a bit off.

Guan Heng gave a bitter smile, "No matter how careful you are, you still fall into a trap if you’re not cautious enough."

He had discovered something, so he stayed in the suite today to organize information, sending people out to gather news.

Unexpectedly, someone close to him turned out to be a traitor.

In a careless moment, he drank a sip of problematic water. Though he realized it quickly and tried to vomit, he didn’t expect the drug to be stronger than he imagined, and he blacked out for a while.

When he regained consciousness, a female was in the room.

Holding his still somewhat dizzy head, Guan Heng leaned back on the sofa, "It seems... there was a pregnant female too..."

Yu Man suddenly recalled the female she encountered this morning who looked a lot like Zor.

"I knocked her out and hurried to get away."

Parched with thirst, Guan Heng glanced at his arm, which bore a small puncture mark.

"It seems like I was injected with something while I was unconscious." He pressed a hand to his heart, "My heart is beating so fast now..."

Guan Heng gazed at Yu Man with a dazed look, "Sister... could it be that I’ve been poisoned and I’m dying?"

A somewhat confused Guan Heng regarded Yu Man, "Oh well, at least I can see you one last time, Sister."

"Sister, maybe you should record a video for me now, to prove my death has nothing to do with you. Don’t want to implicate you."

"I should leave some last words, talk to my mom..."

His mind seemingly disconnected, Guan Heng stayed blank for a moment, his attractive Adam’s apple rolling up and down, "Sister, you smell so nice, I want to take a bite..."

Taking a deep breath, he bit his lip, "Could I have caught a virus that turns me into a zombie?"

Guan Heng, with eyes so misty, looked at Yu Man.

Sighing, Yu Man scratched her head, lifted a tablecloth, found a pair of scissors, and tore the fabric into strips! Then she tied Guan Heng’s hands and feet!

Guan Heng cooperated exceptionally well, but his gaze toward Yu Man was intensely heated.

"Tying me up is a good idea, Sister. In case I really turn into a zombie, I won’t hurt you or infect you..."

Yu Man massaged her forehead, "Shut up!"

"You’re not infected with a virus; you won’t die!" Yu Man glared at him, "If they really wanted you dead, why send a female to you?"

Guan Heng looked dumbfounded, "Then why?"

Yu Man glanced at him, wondering, is he an idiot?

"You’ve been drugged with an aphrodisiac!"

Tying up Guan Heng was merely a precaution against him losing control.

Guan Heng opened his mouth, his bound hands pinching against each other as if suppressing something.

He murmured an "oh," leaned his head back, squinting at the slightly glaring lights above.

"No wonder I wanted to get into bed with you, Sister..."

Yu Man sat helplessly across from him, glancing at the door.

Since they had calculated against Guan Heng, who knew how many other schemers awaited outside.

If she called a doctor, most would likely side with the enemy.

But simply leaving him tied up wasn’t a solution either.

Yu Man felt a headache coming on.

She recalled her daughter Manman mentioning Guan Heng being in trouble.

If he hadn’t met her, his chances of escaping this situation were slim. If he ended up insulting a pregnant female or causing a miscarriage, he might face life imprisonment or worse.

Yu Man opened her Light Brain and called Lai.

"What can you do if someone is drugged with an aphrodisiac?"

Lai answered immediately, hearing the situation brought instant embarrassment.

With a sigh, Yu Man explained everything to Lai.

Lai was silent for a moment, "If there’s no antidote, throwing him into a bathtub and letting him soak in cold water for a few hours might work, but it’s harsh on the body."

"No one’s here to help me. I can’t move him on my own," Yu Man commented, eyeing Guan Heng, who was nearly tied up like a package, "Any other alternatives?"

If Guan Heng were in full control, Yu Man might have helped him to the bathroom.

Even during her short chat with Lai, Guan Heng was drenched in sweat, beginning to struggle.

The way he looked at her was as if he wanted to devour her.

"Well... his wife might need to help," Lai calmly suggested, "The integration of spiritual power could help mitigate the drug’s effects."

Almost no one knew this aspect.

Watching Guan Heng almost free himself, Yu Man tied him down a bit more!

Then, she sent a message to Atier: "Don’t hurry back just yet."

Firstly, concerned about the awkwardness of the situation; secondly, uncertain about what was happening outside.

Elcaron received a call.

"He got into the next room?" Elcaron frowned.

For him to escape, that Zor was too incompetent.

"Who is in the next room?"

"Just a female..." after some thought and recognizing Yu Man from previous broadcasts, they informed Elcaron.

"We just sent someone to pretend to be a waiter and knock on the door, but no one answered."

Elcaron understood, "In that case, we’ll leave it be."

"Follow through with the plan after some time!"

With Guan Heng drugged with such a potent substance, Elcaron doubted Guan Heng could resist.

By his calculations, Guan Heng should be at the peak of his reaction right now.

Whoever was with him was none of Elcaron’s concern; ending up in Yu Man’s room, well, that was bad luck for her.

Earlier, he picked Zor simply because she was there, and he knew her nature enough to bet she was ambitious and foolish enough to try her luck climbing up.

Though now the person involved was Yu Man, it wasn’t entirely without benefits.

If he remembered correctly, Yu Man was also pregnant, and she was an S-level Purification Master... Moreover, the head of the Reed family had been quite interested in Yu Man.

Should their plan succeed and something happen to Yu Man...

Elcaron’s lips curled; the Guan Family would be devastated.

The drug was meticulously prepared. Once everything was over, even the tests wouldn’t detect it!

Elcaron hung up the call.

He wasn’t originally set against the Guan Family, but circumstances forced his hand.

From the last banquet incident, Guan Lingxue surprisingly suspected him, quietly investigating. Had it not been for a warning, he would never have guessed!

That advice was right: only with the Guan Family gone could he rise smoothly. Attempting to align with them guaranteed eventual backlash...

He had prepared everything yesterday; however, Guan Heng seemed to have precautions, pulling a clever escape.

Left with no choice, he tapped into the insider’s setup to finally drug Guan Heng.

Now, it was just a waiting game for the result.

If it failed again...

Elcaron frowned; the idea of failing without support was unimaginable...
