Catherine walked out of the room and saw Zhan Yangyi waiting outside.
"I've handled things inside. You can go in now, and Wei Yumeng will become your woman today."
Zhan Yangyi looked at Catherine with a hint of indifference in his eyes. He had never had a good impression of this woman.
"I don't need you to tell me what to do."
Although Zhan Yangyi said this, Catherine sneered, "At this point, are you planning to give up? Don't forget, you want revenge on Zhan Mohan, and Wei Yumeng is his most cherished. What could be more satisfying than such revenge?"
Zhan Yangyi clenched his fist. That was right, he did want to get revenge on Zhan Mohan, but he had never thought of using such a method.
What's more, he had actually developed feelings for Wei Yumeng long ago. If possible, he didn't want to hurt her.
Zhan Yangyi pondered for a moment, then looked up at Catherine and said coldly, "I admit you're right, but there are some things I hope you can make clear to me. For example... what exactly is your relationship with Yumeng?"
Catherine was slightly stunned. She hadn't expected Zhan Yangyi to ask this question at such a time.
In fact, from the beginning, Catherine hadn't revealed her hostility towards Wei Yumeng, only pretending to help Zhan Yangyi with a fake demeanor. Now that Zhan Yangyi asked, it naturally meant he had realized that Catherine was just using him.
"Yes, I do have a grudge against Wei Yumeng, but that has nothing to do with what we're doing now, nor does it contradict it. You want to take down Zhan Mohan, and I want to deal with Wei Yumeng. Isn't this mutually beneficial?"
Zhan Yangyi gave her a cold laugh, "I never thought of helping you deal with Wei Yumeng. My only target is Zhan Mohan."
"Zhan Yangyi, you don't think you can walk away unscathed at this point, do you? If you keep Wei Yumeng now, are you waiting for her to find an opportunity to overthrow you?"
If Zhan Yangyi had known Catherine's intentions, he would never have cooperated with this woman.
Suddenly, Zhan Yangyi felt an inexplicable fire surge from deep within him, making him feel hot all over. He even impatiently tugged at his tie.
Seeing him like this, Catherine felt even more proud. "How is it? Are you feeling terrible now, and really want to..."
"Get lost!"
Zhan Yangyi took a few steps back. He glanced at the wine glass on the table. The only thing he had drunk since arriving here was that bottle of red wine. It seemed Catherine had planned to deal with him long ago.
Catherine opened the door and let the bodyguards outside in. "Lock him and Wei Yumeng in a room. Today, whether they are willing or not, this must happen."
At first, Zhan Yangyi resisted, but as the drug took effect, his strength gradually drained away. Finally, under the force of the bodyguards, he was sent into the room where Wei Yumeng was.
When Wei Yumeng saw Zhan Yangyi, she flinched back several steps.
"Zhan Yangyi, it's really you!"
Zhan Yangyi gritted his teeth. He was now facing the biggest challenge of his life. In this situation, seeing Wei Yumeng was far more difficult to control than seeing any other woman.
"Yumeng, I..."
As Zhan Yangyi spoke, he felt a wave of discomfort.
It was then that Wei Yumeng realized Zhan Yangyi had also been drugged.
But wasn't Zhan Yangyi allied with Catherine? Why was he also affected?
However, in her current state, Wei Yumeng didn't have the mental capacity to think so much. "Don't come any closer!"
Wei Yumeng was already finding it difficult to breathe, and her head was spinning. In this situation, she had completely lost control, even over her own body.
Dizzily, she saw Zhan Yangyi still walking towards her, and then she knew nothing else.
"Yumeng, Yumeng!"
Wei Yumeng seemed to hear a familiar voice. Whose was it?
"Yumeng, wake up, don't scare me!" The voice sounded like it was on the verge of tears.
Wei Yumeng finally remembered. Wasn't this Mu Linjing's voice?
She finally opened her eyes and saw Mu Linjing and Jing Yan.
When Mu Linjing saw Wei Yumeng wake up, she became even more emotional and hugged her tightly. "Yumeng, if you hadn't woken up, I would have almost killed that woman Catherine."
These words jolted Wei Yumeng to full consciousness. She nervously checked her body, feeling a sense of dread. She couldn't remember if anything had happened with Zhan Yangyi, and if it had, what should she do?
Seeing Wei Yumeng's reaction, Mu Linjing felt heartbroken. "Don't worry, when we arrived, Zhan Yangyi had already passed out. He was in a worse state than you, so he couldn't have done anything to you."
Jing Yan also added, "He stabbed himself in the leg with a fruit knife, using the pain to stay conscious."
"How is he now?" Wei Yumeng was still shocked to hear this. She had truly believed Zhan Yangyi would do something to her, and had never expected him to do this.
"He's been sent to the hospital. I've already dealt with the effects of the drug on you, so you're fine now." Jing Yan explained with some helplessness, "I apologize for not taking you to the hospital, but we were too worried to leave you there."
After all, they were still wary of Zhan Yangyi, and Catherine was still lurking in the shadows.
Wei Yumeng naturally didn't blame Jing Yan for this. Moreover, she was glad not to be in the hospital.
"Right, why are you guys here?"
Mu Linjing and Jing Yan exchanged a look. "Your dear husband asked us to. He said he was worried about you and asked us to keep an eye on your actions. We never expected you to actually get into trouble."
Wei Yumeng nodded. Although she felt like she was troubling Mu Linjing and Jing Yan, in this situation, having helpers was much better than being alone.
"I'd like to ask you to investigate the relationship between Zhan Yangyi and Catherine. I initially thought Zhan Yangyi and Catherine were allies, but now I feel things aren't that simple."
As Wei Yumeng spoke, she recalled what Jing Yan had said earlier. If Zhan Yangyi had truly been on the same page as Catherine, she would likely not have been in her current state of purity.
While this was not enough to make Wei Yumeng develop feelings for Zhan Yangyi, at least she could get to the bottom of things and find a corresponding solution, regardless of what had happened in between.
Jing Yan nodded, "Okay, I can help you with that."
Mu Linjing also said, "We knew you wouldn't stand by and do nothing. We'll naturally accompany you to the end, but while we investigate, you need to stay home and behave, understand?"
