Chapter 285 - 285 284 Leave This Handsome Guy to Me


285: Chapter 284: Leave This Handsome Guy to Me 285: Chapter 284: Leave This Handsome Guy to Me A sudden and rather impolite knocking sound interrupted the conversation between Tangyu and Song Qingyu.


Tangyu walked over and opened the door, only to find a burly middle-aged man standing at the threshold, dressed in a tank top, with a buzz cut, sporting a somewhat fierce look that gave away his untrustworthy nature at first glance.


He glanced at Tangyu, his gaze making one quite uncomfortable, “Your smothered dishes, two hundred in total.”


The burly man spoke indifferently, which hardly seemed like he was doing business but rather like he was forcing a sale.


His gaze then shifted past Tangyu to Song Qingyu and Liu Shanshan inside the room, clearly flashing a hint of interest.


Displeased by the man’s demeanor, Tangyu forked over two hundred yuan, took the three smothered rice dishes, and promptly slammed the door shut with a ‘bang’, giving the burly man a taste of his own medicine.


“Be careful with the door, damn it, you’ll pay if it’s broken,” an angry voice came from the burly man outside.


Ignoring him, Tangyu brought the three servings of smothered rice to a small table and called Song Qingyu over to eat.


While the food here couldn’t be claimed as delicious, having traveled a long way and feeling exhausted, the three of them quickly finished off the dishes, filling their bellies and feeling much more spirited.


“Hmm, why do I feel a bit dizzy?” Liu Shanshan suddenly massaged her temples, her eyelids growing heavy all at once, as her consciousness began to blur.


Witnessing Liu Shanshan’s condition, Tangyu showed no sign of worry.


Instead, the corners of his mouth curled into a barely noticeable malevolent smile, and he signaled Song Qingyu with his eyes.


Song Qingyu also held her head and shook it, “I feel a bit dizzy too.”


“So do I,” Tangyu also pretended to be about to faint.


“Why are we all feeling dizzy, could it be we’ve been drugged—” Before she could finish, Liu Shanshan’s body went limp and she collapsed backward onto the bed.


Her eyelids struggled for a few moments more but eventually closed heavily.


While there was still a sliver of consciousness in her mind, it was nearly gone.


Tangyu and Song Qingyu also struggled briefly before lying face down on the table, all three falling unconscious.


Not long after, the door to the room was forced open and four figures walked in.


Leading them was the toe-knock auntie, followed by the burly man who had delivered the food.


Trailing behind were two well-built men, both in their thirties, smirking lewdly.


Upon entering, their eyes immediately fixated on Liu Shanshan who lay on the bed, glowing with perverse excitement.


One of the men was holding a professional camera.


“Haha, what a great catch today, stumbling upon two such beautiful and delicate girls.


I’m going first today.


Little Wolf, you’re up second—let me have my fun first.


With such beautiful female leads, this video is sure to sell for a good price,” the burly man laughed unrestrainedly.


“Heh, of course, boss goes first.


We have the whole night ahead of us.


I’ll take turns with Little Se—these beauties are too good not to go for a ‘Seven Times a Night.’ It would be a waste otherwise,” chuckled Little Wolf.


“What about this pretty boy, should we toss him out?” Little Se glanced at Tangyu sprawled on the table.


The toe-knock auntie licked her lips greedily, “Leave this handsome guy to me; I want to try some fresh meat today.”


“Yo sis, so you want to be the leading lady too?” Little Wolf said.


The toe-knock auntie glared at Little Wolf, “What’s wrong with me being the leading lady for once?


Every day it’s you guys having fun; all I get to do is watch.


No way, today I’m going to have a good time.” With that, the toe-knock auntie reached toward Tangyu’s chest.


Hearing the toe-knock auntie’s words, Tangyu nearly threw up everything he had just eaten.


A den of thieves was one thing, but they were also involved in deeds so vile they defied natural law, and who knew how many ignorant young women they had dishonored and bullied.


Their actions were not just revolting but deserved no ounce of sympathy.


Tangyu’s heart kindled with a surge of murderous intent.


Evidently, with such practiced routine and their earlier conversation, such incidents were a common occurrence.


Just as the toe-knock auntie’s hand was about to reach Tangyu’s chest, Tangyu suddenly grabbed the hand, twisting it fiercely.


At the same time, Tangyu sprang up behind her, flipping her over his back—a series of ‘snap snap’ sounds from her bones accompanied her cry of pain.


This sudden turn of events caused all four to freeze, their faces turning pale as they glared at Tangyu with venomous looks.


Tangyu had positioned himself at the far end of the room, blocking the doorway.


“How is this possible?


I saw you eat that bowl of rice, how could you not be knocked out?” The toe-knock auntie’s face shifted between shock and confusion, and although she wanted to fight back, she realized resistance only made Tangyu’s grip tighten more—any struggle seemed liable to break her arm.


So, she dared not resist any further.


The three men’s faces turned grim and menacing, and their aura alone was probably too much for any ordinary person to withstand.


They examined Tangyu with bewildered looks, wondering how he could be unscathed.


This doesn’t make sense.


Even a cow would be knocked out if it ate this, and this is the highest-grade anesthesia drug imported from the Island Nation.


It has always been foolproof, never failing, this is the first time.


If they hadn’t personally put the drug into the covered rice dish to cook it, they would have really suspected whether they forgot to drug it.


“Hmmph, I’m quite curious, why are you fine?” The burly man gave a cold smile that was somewhat sinister and playful as he looked at Tangyu.


This was his turf; he naturally wasn’t worried about someone making waves here.


“You find it strange?” Tangyu looked back at the burly man with a cold, indifferent smile.


Not to mention an anesthesia drug—poison wouldn’t affect Tangyu in the slightest.


“It seems you’re not planning to talk?” The patience of the burly man seemed to be wearing thin.


“Actually, I find it quite strange too.” A cold but pleasant voice rang out from behind them.


Hearing this voice, the three of them changed their expressions again, and turned around only to see that the strikingly beautiful woman who had been lying on the table had also stood up, unharmed.


The gazes of the three men couldn’t help but turn towards the woman on the bed.


She couldn’t also be unharmed, could she?


If she was fine, then why had they pretended so convincingly?


Could it be that they had seen through their plan early on?


Thinking of this possibility, a few sinister lights flickered in the burly man’s eyes as he glared at Tangyu again, “Who are you?


Hmph, you actually knew about our plan, that’s quite something.


Speak, who sent you?


The police?”


Tangyu curled his lip and said, “As soon as I entered the room, I felt something was monitoring us.


Even though your cameras are well hidden, they couldn’t escape my eyes.


Since you’ve planted cameras here, it’s clear you aren’t up to any good.


So, I anticipated that you would make a move on us.”


Tangyu had already mentioned this situation to Song Qingyu while they were by the window.


As for drugging the covered rice dish, that was even simpler—for someone with Tangyu’s abilities, almost any drug couldn’t escape his nose.


When the burly man brought over the covered rice dish earlier, Tangyu immediately smelled the drugged food.


Thus, he had discreetly added some antidote to Song Qingyu’s dish in advance, but he didn’t put any in Liu Shanshan’s dish.


Since Liu Shanshan didn’t know what was happening and they couldn’t say or hint at anything because of the surveillance cameras, Tangyu didn’t give her any antidote—Liu Shanshan’s reaction was completely genuine.


With a real reaction as a reference, Tangyu and Song Qingyu naturally knew how to act accordingly, which led to the scene that had just occurred.


“Oh, you discovered the surveillance as soon as you entered the room, not bad.


Your investigative skills are quite something,” the burly man still didn’t show any sign of panic, as though everything was under control, “So it seems you’re the police then.


It appears you had already secretly put the antidote in your food.”


“I’m not police,” Tangyu shook his head: “If you were just running a black shop, I could let that slide and we would leave after a night.


However, you just had to mess with us, and now you must pay the price.


I’m not one to brook evil, but if you provoke me, then I will have to play the good guy.


Today, let me settle the score with you properly.”


“Not police?” The burly man’s gaze became extremely grim as he sized up Tangyu, but he seemed to believe Tangyu’s words.


If they were police, there was no need to deny it.


Since they weren’t, he had no qualms: “Hmph, you’re quite bold for being so young.


No one dares to talk big like that in my place.


Just the two of you think you can leave here?


So what if you know our plan, these two women, I’m going to have my way with them tonight.


Once I’m done, I’ll let my brothers take turns.


Think you’re something special because you’re pretty?


You’ve got a pussy for men to fuck, that’s what.”


“Go to hell.” Song Qingyu’s face turned icy; if she had her service pistol, she might have genuinely been unable to restrain herself from pulling it out to kill.


Even if not to kill, she’d blow away the head of that burly man with one bullet.


“I know you have plenty of helpers outside, but I’ve already destroyed the cameras, so your underlings won’t be finding out what’s happening here anytime soon.


By the time they do, I think I’ll have everything taken care of.”


Tangyu said indifferently, his face suddenly becoming frosty and sharp.


He swung his hand like a knife, swiftly cutting towards the auntie’s neck, who collapsed without a sound, directly knocked out.


Knocking someone unconscious isn’t as easy as it might seem.


The force and location have to be perfectly calibrated for it to be possible.


It isn’t like on television where a simple tap renders someone unconscious.


The three men saw Tangyu dared to make a move, their faces turned fierce and threatening.


But before they could react, Tangyu pounced on them like a fierce tiger.


This time, Tangyu held nothing back—Pure Yang Qi circulated directly, and his hands formed seals as he pointed at vital points on the men’s bodies.


The space was already cramped, and the distance between them was too close, about a meter or so.


With Tangyu’s speed, he was incredibly fast.


Little Wolf and Little Color didn’t even get a chance to react before their bodies slumped down helplessly, not knocked out, but paralyzed, with vital acupuncture points sealed, unable to move.


The burly man did have some ability and managed to react, reaching his hands towards Tangyu.


“Smack smack smack!!!”


A series of muffled sounds came from his body.


Tangyu naturally didn’t let himself be grabbed and directly sealed over a dozen of the man’s vital points completely.
