“Achoo!” Wang Muguang grinned and let out a big sneeze.
Bai Shuijin was stunned watching from the side.
The sun was like a giant fireball, and his Little Uncle was like a big water buffalo.
Wang Muguang rubbed his nose. “Maybe someone’s thinking about me.”
In the middle of the night…it was actually kind of romantic.
Bai Shuijin: That person must be quite short-sighted.”
Wang Muguang strode forward with long legs, still eager to try, taking ten steps at a time. “Being obsessed with me is every Earthling’s destiny.”
Bai Shuijin munched on chocolates he had taken from the banquet and said, “Who is this ‘every Earthling’? Send me their WeChat.”
Wang Muguang looked at Bai Shuijin and laughed. “Jealous.”
Bai Shuijin: “…”
If Wang Muguang’s confidence could be evenly distributed to everyone, there would be no people with low self esteem left in the world.
·
The default phone ringtone ended, and the noise in the restroom lowered.
The suit jacket he had taken off was placed on the sink counter, and the heat in his body was like an army of countless cells surging through every inch of him.
Every breath seemed to raise his temperature higher; even the air he exhaled was scorching. Wang Huanxiu’s forehead was tense, and veins stood out.
The abrupt end of the ringtone made a wave of irritation rise in his chest.
No one had ever dared not to answer his call.
Even someone normally rational like him was now a slave under the control of the drug. He loosened the buttons at his collar, tore off his tie and held it in his hand. After taking a few deep breaths, he wanted to wrestle control of his reason back into his own hands.
The body’s regulation could not fully resist the hormonal effects of the drug. When he saw that the first outgoing call was to Wang Muguang, Wang Huanxiu completely lost his rational mind.
The call record was now deeply engraved in his eyes.
In his dizziness, Wang Huanxiu had only one thought: call Wang Muguang and ask him why he was so unwilling to live?
.
“Where is he now?”
Wang Pingtian was leading his men, looking for someone.
“He should have gone to the third floor.”
“Should? Third floor?” Wang Pingtian splashed a glass of wine onto the waiter’s face. “I told you to follow him, and this is how you follow?”
Useless. Couldn’t even keep track of one person.
The waiter closed his eyes without dignity and changed his answer. “He’s on the third floor, in the third-floor restroom.”
“He better be.” Wang Pingtian went upstairs with his men.
This time the waiter didn’t follow. His friend wanted to keep following, but the waiter secretly stopped him and said, “Don’t follow. Let’s just slip out. We already have the money anyway.”
“If we follow, maybe this boss will be happy and give a tip?”
“Didn’t you see the wine on my face? Let’s go, go, go.”
His friend hesitated, then nodded. While Wang Pingtian was too focused on finding someone to notice, the two slipped away.
Friend: “Are you sure he’s on the third floor?”
“Ninety percent sure.”
“Didn’t you lose him? Now you’re sure it’s the third floor?”
“Because I already checked the first and second floors.”
“… ”
The two went down the stairs. “Do you think all these rich families have such complicated relationships? They’re all relatives. If I dared to do something like this, my mom would beat me into eight pieces.”
“You don’t get it. The wealth and status they get from doing this…even if they were beaten into twenty-four pieces, they could come back to life on the spot.”
The waiter wiped his face dry with a white handkerchief. Being humiliated like that left a fire in his chest. He knew some rich people looked down on others, but he didn’t expect such a lack of manners. They didn’t even see him as human.
Just then, a shadow rushed toward them, face twisted in discomfort.
Bai Shuijin was originally with Wang Muguang, exploring how to take ten steps at a time. While Wang Muguang performed his new acrobatic trick, he was eating and drinking on the side.
After too much water intake, he needed to take care of it. After greeting Wang Muguang, he set off on a quest to find a restroom. The hotel layout was complex, and every time he turned a corner that seemed like it might lead to one, he was met with betrayal, it was always a storage room or a lounge.
Did rich people never use the restroom?
After searching around the outer hall, he finally ran into two waiters. Bai Shuijin moved like the wind and was practically flying forward, looking like he could take ten steps in one breath.
“Hello, handsome, excuse me, where’s the restroom?”
Guests at the banquet were all wealthy or powerful, so the waiter’s tone was polite. “It’s on the third floor. Just go up and take two turns.”
“Thanks.”
Bai Shuijin politely thanked them and kept rushing upward. As he left, he overheard them talking about something involving drugs.
Such a magnificent place still had so many rats and cockroaches that they needed drugs?
After reaching the third floor, he searched around. As he came up the stairs, the elevator opposite just closed.
Finally finding the restroom, Bai Shuijin almost shed tears of joy.
After taking care of business, he washed his hands under the sensor faucet.
“President Wang, I brought your spare suit.”
Chen Ji came in holding a suit covered with a garment bag, locking eyes with Bai Shuijin at the sink.
‘How did President Wang in the restroom become President Wang’s husband?’
Bai Shuijin wasn’t surprised to see him. He’d known since coming to the banquet that Bai Shuijin would be here.
Chen Ji glanced around and continued his work. “Mr. Bai, may I ask where President Wang is?”
Bai Shuijin: Huh?
‘Laogong-ge is here too?’
He had been in the restroom for five minutes and hadn’t even seen a strand of Wang Huanxiu’s hair.
Years in the business world had sharpened Chen Ji’s instincts. He quickly sensed something was wrong. “Mr. Bai, you didn’t see President Wang when you came in?”
His tone suddenly became serious, making Bai Shuijin tense as well. “No. Did something happen?”
Chen Ji’s expression visibly darkened. Without wasting time explaining in the restroom, he immediately led people to find the surveillance room.
Chen Ji strode forward. “Mr. Bai, if I’m not wrong, President Wang may have been taken away. We need to check the surveillance footage.”
He should have realized something was wrong when the waiter spilled wine on Wang Huanxiu. For someone as prominent as Wang Huanxiu, even business tycoons didn’t dare offend him. So the waiter should have been extra cautious.
But that waiter didn’t avoid them. Instead, he rushed right over clumsily.
And after Wang Huanxiu drank the wine, there had been subtle signs of something off in his body.
‘Wang Huanxiu taken away? By who? An enemy?’
He hadn’t forgotten some of the bloody, violent, mosaic-covered scenes in the book.
Bai Shuijin felt uneasy. “Could something have happened to him?”
Chen Ji pushed up his glasses. “There shouldn’t be any danger to his life.”
Bai Shuijin let out a breath.
“But broken arms or legs…I can’t say.”
“… ”
They reached the surveillance room, but security blocked them at the door. “Sir, this area is not open to the public. Please go around.”
Bai Shuijin wanted to explain, but Chen Ji stopped him. “Mr. Bai, leave this to me. It will be quick.”
Chen Ji stepped forward and looked at the security guard with firm eyes. “We must check inside today.”
The guard stood firm. “I’m not someone who neglects his duties.”
Chen Ji pulled out a card.
The guard: “But I am someone whose eyes light up at the sight of money.”
“… ”
Secretary Chen’s professional ability was clear to see.
While the security guard was keeping watch, Bai Shuijin and Chen Ji quickly slipped inside.
They pulled up the footage from the third floor, fast-forwarding from the moment Chen Ji left the restroom. Before long, Wang Pingtian appeared with four or five men, searched around, and went into the restroom. Less than two minutes later, Wang Huanxiu was helped out by two people, gritting their teeth as they supported him.
Wang Huanxiu’s body was tall and straight, and the two of them could barely keep him steady. In the surveillance footage, his high-end leather shoes stepped steadily onto the floor, but his gait was slightly unsteady.
Bai Shuijin immediately recalled the two waiters he had met earlier when asking where the restroom was.
The drug they mentioned had actually been given to Wang Huanxiu.
Chen J quickly pulled up the surveillance footage outside the hotel like an octopus, checking where Wang Pingtian’s group had gone.
Fortunately, they had not gone far, but had instead gone to the rival club across the street.
No one could predict what would happen after Wang Huanxiu was taken away, so Chen Ji and Bai Shuijin took the elevator downstairs and headed toward the club next door.
On the way, Bai Shuijin did not forget to send Wang Muguang a message.
[Laogong-ge was drugged, he’s right next door.]
He didn’t bother to check if Wang Muguang replied. He slipped his phone into his pocket and followed closely behind Chen Ji’s footsteps.
The worry in his heart felt like a time bomb counting down, and his mind was filled with the image of Wang Huanxiu being supported into the elevator by two people. By the time he came back to his senses, his palms were already drenched in sweat.
He had always been strong inside, but this panic left him completely at a loss.
“Secretary Chen.”
Chen Ji turned back to look at him. “God of Wealth… no, Mr. Bai, go ahead.”
“Laogong-ge won’t be in trouble, right?” This was his second time asking tonight.
It was the first time he had felt this kind of worry. In the past, he had always been alone, never knowing that people could feel such unbearable emotions. It was like being shut in a wooden box, able to see the bright outside world through the cracks, but no matter how hard you tried to get out, the planks would not break and you could only be trapped inside for life.
Getting something and then losing it was even more devastating than never having it at all.
Chen Ji: “From the footage, it looks like President Wang was drugged, but it shouldn’t cause much harm to his body.”
“Drugged?”
‘You rich people really can get your hands on anything.’
Chen Ji nodded. “Basically, it’s □□.”
Baishui Jin stumbled over a stone, and his heart instantly leaped into his throat. That meant Wang Huanxiu had been taken to the club next door and was very likely doing intimate things with someone right now.
Intimate things…that even they had never done before.
For a moment, it felt like mud and water had clogged his nose and mouth, making it hard to breathe. Anger, jealousy, and unwillingness grew wildly in his heart.
Laogong-ge said he only liked him.
He wouldn’t do that kind of thing with other people.
His laogong-ge’s bird was a wild goose, and wild geese were birds of loyalty.
But now, Wang Huanxiu was drugged, his bird was about to be unfaithful.
He had only ridden Wang Huanxiu’s waist once, and that was a month ago.
He hadn’t had enough rides, and now, not only could he not ride, but someone else was about to ride instead.
The relationship between the two of them had been in a delicate state these days, and he had been deliberately avoiding Wang Huanxiu, not wanting to break the window paper.
As long as this layer of window paper stayed unbroken, their relationship was at its most stable. But if it stayed unbroken, Wang Huanxiu could also do the things they had done with someone else.
Would Wang Huanxiu also kiss others, give them gifts?
Would he treat others as gently as he treated him? Was he not the only one who got that gentleness?
A strong possessiveness surged into Bai Shuijin’s head. No, he wouldn’t allow it.
When Wang Pingtian took Wang Huanxiu away, there were three or four people with him. Chen Ji had also brought the bodyguards from outside the venue.
.
Wang Pingtian: “You know how to handle it.”
The male model raised the camera in his hand. This was to be placed at the head of the bed to record later. Although in two hours the media they had contacted would arrive to take photos of the two’s scandal, filming was an extra layer of insurance in case Wang Huanxiu managed to turn things around.
If the tape got out, it would cement Wang Huanxiu’s sex scandal.
The male model didn’t care much about his own reputation. In their line of work, what they feared wasn’t being cursed at, but having no popularity. When the video is leaked, they would mosaic his face.
Once the video hit the internet, they would hire paid posters to flood the comments under the video with his name, boosting his traffic. Once the storm passed, the fans he gained from the hype would even help him deny the video’s authenticity.
Black-and-red popularity was a guaranteed profit, and besides, the man he was serving tonight was top-grade.
The male model licked his lips and walked into the room with the camera. Wang Huanxiu was leaning against the big bed, his consciousness blurry, long legs draped over the edge, leather shoes touching the floor.
The male model looked at his flushed face and sucked in a breath. The man’s bone structure was angular, his nose high and straight, his eyebrows and eyes sharp. His figure was also excellent.
He had made a big profit.
The male model came to the bedside and leaned toward Wang Huanxiu. “We’re going to have a perfect night tonight.”
Laughter filled the room. Looking at the man’s impressive lower abdomen, the male model’s mouth went dry like it hadn’t had water in a long time.
He reached out to touch the man’s face, but the other party avoided him with disdain.
“Oh?” The male model chuckled. Even with his mind this hazy, he could still dodge.
“I’m really good. You’ll fall in love with me right away.”
The more self-restrained someone was, the wilder they would get in the end.
The male model took off his shirt and started to climb onto the man with a smile.
By then, chaos had broken out outside the room. Chen Ji and the bodyguards launched their first wave of attack, knocking down Wang Pingtian’s men like bowling pins. Compared to Chen Ji’s group, Wang Pingtian’s people looked like pale, skinny weaklings.
By the time Wang Pingtian returned from smoking a cigarette, people were already down at the door. Realizing that it was Wang Huanxiu’s secretary, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that Wang Huanxiu’s subordinates weren’t useless, but he didn’t expect them to find him this quickly.
The plan had been suddenly interrupted. Wang Pingtian clenched his fists, unsure if the recording inside had even started.
Chen Ji pried open the door lock and said, “Mr. Bai, hurry in and check.”
Seeing how quickly the lock was opened, Bai Shuijin said, “I didn’t think Secretary Chen’s skills were so broad.”
Chen Ji smiled shyly. “More skills never hurt.”
When Bai Shuijin entered, he saw a slender figure who had just taken off his clothes and was about to climb onto Wang Huanxiu.
‘No way!’
Before Bai Shuijin could step forward, Chen Ji was already ahead of him, pulling the male model down and throwing him to the floor, protecting the loyalty of their boss’s bird.
“Get down. Do you even know how to ride?”
The male model who was thrown to the floor: ???
Looking at Wang Huanxiu on the bed with unfocused eyes and his clothes still on, Bai Shuijin felt the weight in his heart finally drop.
Fortunately…fortunately they made it in time. Otherwise, his laogong-ge’s reputation would be gone tonight.
Bai Shuijin’s forehead was covered in sweat. Before coming in, his heart had been tightly clenched, afraid of seeing something he didn’t want to see.
At the moment, Wang Huanxiu’s mind was stripped of all reason, leaving only human instinct.
“Secretary Chen, let’s call an ambulance.”
Chen Ji dragged the male model out and kicked him out, as if he was kicking over his own pay raise.
No one can steal his God of Wealth’s man.
If the God of Wealth is happy, his whole family is happy.
When Bai Shuijin took out his phone, Wang Huanxiu had already sat up from the bed. His whole body felt like it was burning with a high fever. His strong and powerful arms suddenly wrapped around Bai Shuijin’s waist from behind.
Bai Shuijin jumped in fright, and his whole body trembled. Wang Huanxiu didn’t care if anyone else was in the room, he held Bai Shuijin and tried to make him sit on his lap.
Bai Shuijin jumped up like a rabbit and tried to escape, but the man reached out and pulled him back. “Why are you running?”
The hoarse voice came to his ear, making Bai Shuijin shiver all over from the heat.
Fortunately, at his pleading glance, Chen Ji grabbed him and pulled him away.
As they left the room, Chen Ji took out his phone and sent Wang Huanxiu a message.
[President Wang, don’t worry, I’ll take care of him.]
This was evidence for tomorrow.
The chance for a raise is always earned by oneself. After following Wang Huanxiu for such a long time, Chen Ji had picked up some of the other party’s scheming ways.
The door closed, shutting out the ambiguous atmosphere inside the room.
Bai Shuijin’s face turned red. “Secretary Chen, we should call 120 now.”
Given the situation Wang Huanxiu was in in the room, it would be useless even if 119 came.
Chen Ji stopped him. “Mr. Bai, I think President Wang is almost done for. There’s no hospital nearby, and the ambulance won’t make it in time.”
Hearing this, Bai Shuijin was at a loss. “Then what should we do?”
Inside, Wang Huanxiu was practically self-combusting. If the ambulance couldn’t save him, who could?
Chen Ji looked at Bai Shuijin thoughtfully. “Mr. Bai, you and the boss are married, so how about…”
What came after “how about” was self-evident.
Bai Shuijin was shocked and waved his hands quickly. “How could that be!”
“There’s nothing wrong with it.” Chen Ji’s gaze was firm. “Mr. Bai, we’re all adults here. I believe you can do it. The company’s future depends on you.”
If he could coax Bai Shuijin into agreeing, it would be like a huge fortune had fallen into his lap.
Chen Ji patted Bai Shuijin’s shoulder and said, “For the tribe.”
“…”
If Wang Huanxiu ended up with some internal injury tonight from holding back due to the drug and couldn’t work, it would indeed affect the company.
Seeing Bai Shuijin waver, Chen Ji pressed on. “Mr. Bai, as far as I know, you like looking at male models, right?”
Bai Shuijin scratched his face in embarrassment. The last time he watched a male model show abroad, Chen Ji had indeed been there.
Moreover, he was riding on a male model’s shoulders. Even if Chen Ji didn’t want to notice, he had noticed. He just didn’t expect Chen Ji to put it so bluntly.
“I do have some interest in that.”
The evidence was solid; he couldn’t deny it.
Chen Ji: “President Wang’s figure is no worse than a male model’s. Mr. Bai, you could go in and give it a try.”
Give it a try? Is this something you could just “try”?
Other people’s butts are not butts, is that it?!
Wang Huanxiu’s strength was frightening. Bai Shuijin’s face was hot; clearly, he wasn’t fully persuaded yet.
Chen Ji: “Mr. Bai, normally you have to pay to see male models, and interacting with them also costs money. If you want a higher level, the price isn’t low. The flesh trade has huge profit margins. But now President Wang is different.”
“How is he different?”
“Youth has no price tag. Tonight, President Wang is on special offer.”
“…”
A few minutes later, Bai Shuijin cautiously opened the door and peeked in, but didn’t see Wang Huanxiu. Could he have gone to the bathroom?
He walked in and just as he turned to close the door, a huge force wrapped around him.
Bang!
The door slammed shut.
Bai Shuijin was nervous but also a bit excited.
Wang Huanxiu had been lying in wait behind the door for a long time, clearly ready for someone to come in at any moment.
“I knew you’d come back.”
His mind was clouded and he bit and kissed Bai Shuijin’s ear chaotically.
Bai Shuijin’s neck shrank from the ticklish sensation. “Do you know who I am?”
‘After being drugged like this, could he still recognize people?’
Wang Huanxiu gave him a deep kiss, his tongue tangling with Bai Shuijin’s teeth, pulling out a silver thread. “Bai Shuijin.”
Bai Shuijin’s heart was pounding. He grabbed a teapot and held it in front of his face. “And this?”
“Bai Shuijin.”
“And this?” He swapped it for a magazine cover with someone else’s face and held it in front of himself.
Wang Huanxiu grabbed his wrist and said, “Still Bai Shuijin.”
So tonight, no matter who it was, Wang Huanxiu would see them as him.
Wang Huanxiu threw him onto the bed, and roughly pulled down his pants, exposing his two white legs to the air. Bai Shuijin panicked. “La… laogong-ge!”
Hearing him call out, Wang Huanxiu subconsciously eased his strength a little. “Don’t be afraid.”
He was savoring the moment. Although impatient, he was more like a hunter enjoying the hunt. He leaned down and slightly pressed some of his weight onto the person, coming closer at Bai Shuijin’s face.
Bai Shuijin was pinned down, and the heavy, suffocating pressure and the sensation on his thighs made him so shy he couldn’t breathe.
No one knew how long this lasted, but when Wang Huanxiu’s fingers finally hooked the edge of Bai Shuijin’s underwear, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Chen Ji’s aggrieved voice came from outside. “Mr. Bai, President Wang’s ambulance is here.”
Inside the room, both Bai Shuijin and Wang Huanxiu were dumbfounded.
Fifteen minutes later, the two sat in the ambulance, hair messy and clothes disheveled.
Bai Shuijin’s mouth was still red and swollen.
On the stretcher bed was Wang Muguang, who had injured his thigh.
According to Chen Ji, Wang Muguang’s ambulance had arrived suddenly because he had injured his thigh when practicing taking ten steps in one step.
The moment he fell to the ground, he couldn’t move at all.
Then the smart man immediately took out his phone to call an ambulance. He cherished his body greatly, after all, if he got hurt, all earthlings would be sad. While calling, he finally saw the missed call from Wang Huanxiu and the message from Bai Shuijin.
Big brother had been taken away?
Then he must have been injured.
Since the ambulance was here, they might as well go together.
Once in the ambulance, Wang Huanxiu’s mind gradually cleared.
Wang Muguang looked at the two sitting beside him with concern.
“Big Brother, are you two okay?”
Wang Huanxiu: “…”
Bai Shuijin: “…’
After asking, he felt very thoughtful. It seemed the ambulance had come just in time.
Wang Muguang: “Big B…”
Wang Huanxiu: “Shut up.”
