Wang Dongcheng, however, seemed not to have heard Hua Yuxiao's words, continuing to pore over the contract.
This only made Hua Yuxiao more nervous.
Her heart began to race!
Her breathing grew rapid.
Soon, Hua Yuxiao noticed something was wrong with her body – a growing heat!
Her body even began to react!
These reactions were absolutely not supposed to happen here!
"So hot!"
Suddenly, Hua Yuxiao spoke, involuntarily reaching to shed her outer jacket.
"Hmm? President Hua, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
It was then that Wang Dongcheng, as if just noticing Hua Yuxiao's actions, put down what he was holding and moved closer to her.
He even reached out, intending to grab Hua Yuxiao's shoulder!
At that instant, a fragrance emanated from the pendant hanging on Hua Yuxiao's neck!
Hua Yuxiao's mind instantly cleared!
"Damn, I've been poisoned!"
By the time Hua Yuxiao realized what was happening, a hand was already on her shoulder.
She hadn't even noticed when Wang Dongcheng had approached her.
Even if Hua Yuxiao were foolish, she would know by now that she had been drugged!
The poison was in the tea.
The catalytic effect was strong, and the pendant on her neck contained a sachet her grandfather had given her to ward off poisons.
It could even deal with common蛊虫 (gu worms).
However, Hua Yuxiao never dreamed that even this potent antidote wouldn't completely dispel the poison in her body!
She only regained consciousness for a moment before her body grew weak again!
In that instant, Hua Yuxiao turned her head and saw Wang Dongcheng's lewd, bald grin.
"Heh heh, President Hua, are you feeling hot! Don't take off your clothes here. With a beauty like you, a virile man like me can't help but be tempted. If something happens, you can't blame me!"
Wang Dongcheng's smile was not just lewd; as he spoke, one hand began to slide down Hua Yuxiao's body.
But just then, Hua Yuxiao mustered all her remaining strength.
She shoved Wang Dongcheng away!
Crash!
Wang Dongcheng hadn't expected Hua Yuxiao to possess such strength.
After falling to the ground, the back of his head struck something, and he immediately felt dizzy.
But before Wang Dongcheng could recover, Hua Yuxiao stumbled out, even crashing through the paper of the sliding door.
"Hey, this damn woman, she can actually resist my aphrodisiac! How strange! Trying to run? No way!"
Wang Dongcheng yelped, scrambling up from the ground, intending to grab Hua Yuxiao back.
Riiip!
As Hua Yuxiao dodged, her clothes were torn, revealing a expanse of snow-white skin!
"Ah! Help! Help!"
Hua Yuxiao cried out for help, but her feet lost their balance, and she stumbled into a pool of water!
Splash!
Water sprayed everywhere!
Her cries for help were suppressed.
Fortunately, the water in the pool was not deep, only about seventy centimeters.
Hua Yuxiao sat up, but her body was weak, and she could only grip the nearby rockery, finding it exhausting even to try and stand!
However, the cold water in the pool seemed to clear her head even more.
"Help! Ling Feng, save me!"
This time, her cry for help was louder!
Wang Dongcheng heard this and chuckled sinisterly, "Heh heh, my soundproofing here is excellent. The surrounding residences are all occupied by my Wang family's servants. You want someone to save you... it's difficult!"
With that, Wang Dongcheng lunged at Hua Yuxiao again.
But how could Wang Dongcheng possibly know!
Ling Feng's hearing was far superior to others!
Just as Ling Feng was being led into the banquet hall by the Wang family patriarch, the place had become much more crowded and lively.
Old Master Wang kept urging everyone to accompany Ling Feng.
However, this behavior felt like the old man was constantly reminding Ling Feng that this was their Wang family's territory!
As soon as Ling Feng sat down, he heard Hua Yuxiao's cries for help.
His ears twitched slightly, but then the sound vanished.
He listened intently and then heard Hua Yuxiao directly call out his name!
Instantly, Ling Feng's expression changed drastically, and he shot up from his seat.
"Yang Fei!"
Old Master Wang, standing nearby, was startled. Wang Haiyang quickly gestured to those around him!
Many people converged towards Ling Feng, clearly ready to act at any moment!
It was truly because Ling Feng's expression had changed so rapidly, and his voice was filled with a chilling killing intent that made everyone tense up.
However, Old Master Wang was more astute. He waved his hand to everyone around him, "Why are you all so agitated? Mr. Ling, what's...?"
Yang Fei also suddenly awoke and pricked up his ears to listen.
"Is that Miss Hua?"
"Nonsense, save her!" Ling Feng snapped. He had intended to have Yang Fei go, but now it seemed he had to go himself!
The moment his voice fell, Ling Feng had already shot out like a gust of wind!
Old Master Wang was stunned and quickly stood up, asking Yang Fei, "This young brother, Mr. Ling is...?"
Yang Fei, having faintly heard the cries for help from over there, was furious at being stopped by Old Master Wang. "If Miss Hua is harmed, your Wang family will pay the price!"
With that declaration, Yang Fei also darted away!
The surrounding group of experts were somewhat slow to react!
But by the time they came to their senses, Ling Feng and Yang Fei had already disappeared!
"What are you all standing around for? Hurry and go see!"
Old Master Wang commanded, already leading people in pursuit. His walking stick now seemed like a mere accessory.
His legs were incredibly agile, far surpassing even Olympic champions in their prime.
At this moment, Ling Feng had already arrived in the courtyard first.
He saw the bald Wang Dongcheng grab Hua Yuxiao's hands and was about to force her down into the pool!
Hua Yuxiao was already completely soaked!
Her good figure was fully revealed, something Ling Feng had seen before, naturally.
However, to be exposed like this now, and to be coerced and humiliated by such a beast, how could Ling Feng suppress the anger in his heart?
"You're asking for death!"
Ling Feng raised a hand and sent Wang Dongcheng flying!
Slap!
A loud smack echoed.
Following that, Yang Fei, Old Master Wang, Wang Haiyang, and others arrived.
They saw Wang Dongcheng fall at their feet!
"Huh? Wang Dongcheng?! What in the world is going on?" Wang Haiyang exclaimed in anger upon recognizing the person at his feet!
Subconsciously, he felt that this matter was going to be troublesome!
