Ye Yun opened the door at that moment, quite enthusiastically greeting Li Qinghe.

"..."

Seeing Ye Yun's overly excited expression, Li Qinghe couldn't help but frown.

For some reason, she always felt that there was something not quite right about Ye Yun.

Looking around, there were only two people in the room including herself, and her sixth sense heightened her vigilance.

"Ye Yun, may I know why you've asked to see me?"

Having entered the room with Ye Yun, Li Qinghe sat across from him and asked indifferently, her aloof demeanor creating a sense of distance.

Although a bit irked inside, Ye Yun thought about how soon Li Qinghe would be at his mercy so he didn't get angry.

He chuckled and said, "It's nothing much. I heard Miss Li is on Hong Kong Island to shoot a film, and I, Ye Yun, thought I'd take this opportunity to discuss a potential collaboration with you."

"A collaboration? If my agent thinks it's good, then we could discuss it."

Ye Yun was polite, and the fact that he directly mentioned doing business made Li Qinghe feel somewhat relieved.

But the atmosphere in the room remained slightly off, and she just wanted to finish discussing the collaboration quickly and leave as soon as possible.

"However, may I know what kind of collaboration this is?"

"Hehe, Miss Li, don't be in such a hurry, we have plenty of time, let's chat for a bit first."

Ye Yun smiled mysteriously and then pushed a glass of wine towards Li Qinghe.

"Come, Miss Li, let me toast to you first!"

"Here's to the great success of your new film and winning Best Actress again!"

At that moment, Ye Yun raised his own glass and after offering those courteous words, he downed the red wine in one gulp.

"Uh..."

As he swallowed the red wine, Ye Yun became even more agitated, as if what he had just drunk was some sort of stimulant.

This made Li Qinghe somewhat suspicious, and she carefully looked over the table, noticing a small amount of hard-to-detect white powder at the corner.

Damn...

Li Qinghe's complexion changed, immediately guessing what was in the wine Ye Yun had handed her!

"Ye Yun, sorry, but I have to go first!"

This was no place to linger; Li Qinghe quickly got up, instinctively trying to escape!

"Humph, Li Qinghe! You think you can leave?"

At that moment, a dark figure emerged from a gloomy corner, blocking the door.

"You! Wang Zhennan? Why are you here?"

The one blocking the door was clearly her ex-bodyguard whom she had dismissed!

Seeing him blocking the doorway, Li Qinghe suddenly felt her head buzz.

It's over... she was finished...

"Hehe, Li Qinghe! Why are you in such a hurry to leave? The business deal with the Second Master isn't finished yet!"

Remembering the day she dismissed him over that young man, Wang Zhennan's eyes blazed with hatred like fire!

He had only set a trap for that man, and she had dismissed him outright?

So the favors he had done for her, the services he had provided, one mistake couldn't make up for all of that?

Looking carefully at Li Qinghe's ashen face, Wang Zhennan felt a thrill as if he were intoxicated with wine!

Offending him would surely come at a price!

Whether it was her, Li Qinghe, or that young man!

After dealing with Li Qinghe, he would not let that young man off either!

"Heh, heh, heh, Li Qinghe, oh Li Qinghe, you beautiful thing, I've had my eye on you for a long time!"

At that moment, Ye Yun slowly stood up, steadied his somewhat shaky figure, then picked up the red wine in front of Li Qinghe's table. With a sneer, he walked over.

"My room, Ye Yun's room, isn't a place you can just enter or leave as you please!"

"Come on, let your dear uncle personally feed you a glass!" Having said this, Ye Yun swayed unsteadily, holding the drugged red wine, and approached Li Qinghe!

"Ye Yun! Have you lost your mind? Do you not realize that what you are doing is against the law?" Li Qinghe's face turned pale out of fear due to Ye Yun's actions!

She wanted to escape! But now, the door was firmly blocked by Wang Zhennan, how could she, a woman, fight against him, a martial artist of Great Achievement within the Neijia styles?

In her despair, Li Qinghe couldn't help but think of Xu Fan.

If he were here now, how could she feel so helpless?

"Heh, against the law? Li Qinghe, you probably don't realize, do you? On Hong Kong Island, our Ye Family, that is the law! You, heh, if you dare not drink my Ye Yun's wine, that would be the greatest offense. Do you understand that!"

Ye Yun greedily sipped the substance in his cup, his expression growing more fierce.

"That's right! Second Master is absolutely right! Li Qinghe, I'd advise you to just give in to the Second Master willingly. Becoming his woman, you'll get even more popular in the future! You should know, I, Wang Zhennan, am also looking out for your best interests!"

Wang Zhennan greedily stared at Li Qinghe, licking his lips as he spoke.

He could hardly wait to see this woman who had rejected him humiliated by Ye Yun!

At this moment, he couldn't help thinking about that kid!

Just him, also fit to be Li Qinghe's bodyguard?

Now, Li Qinghe was about to be played to death by oneself! Him? Where is he now?

If you're capable, come save her, Li Qinghe, won't you?

"Bullshit! Wang Zhennan! I didn't expect you would stoop to this!"

Li Qinghe couldn't help but curse out loud!

When it came to firing Wang Zhennan, she still felt guilty, but who could have known that he would stoop to such a deed?

At that moment, Li Qinghe's heart was filled with despair. Thinking of her miserable life controlled by drugs from now on, her eyes revealed a hint of stubbornness.

Even if it meant dying, she wouldn't let Ye Yun defile her!

"Who's that?"

Just as she was about to end her life, an exclamation suddenly came from Wang Zhennan, who was blocking the door!

Instinctively, Li Qinghe raised her head and followed Wang Zhennan's gaze to glance at the balcony entrance beside them!

She saw a figure slowly emerge from the darkness.

"Xu... Xu Fan?"

"How... How are you here?"

As Xu Fan stepped out of the darkness, Li Qinghe shook her head in disbelief.

She hadn't told Xu Fan she was meeting with the Ye family tonight. How could he possibly arrive at such a critical moment to save her?

Shaking her head, a few tears fell from the corner of Li Qinghe's eyes.

They say that in moments of despair, you think of the person you trust the most.

This appeared to be true; it seemed she trusted this guy far too much, so much that she was hallucinating his presence.

"Strange..."

With a bitter smile, she thought the figure before her would disappear from her sight soon enough.

But after a good while had passed, Xu Fan's figure did not disappear. On the contrary, it became clearer.

"This..."

Li Qinghe opened her mouth slightly, wondering to herself if the person standing before her was indeed Xu Fan.
