"Don’t... please don’t..." Hearing where the needle was about to be inserted, Li Xue screamed out loud.
"Don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt that much," Fang Yi said soothingly.
"It won’t hurt that much, but it still hurts, please no..." Li Xue yelled, now with tears in her voice.
Fang Yi, however, ignored her protests. The injection was necessary because her limbs were out of control, and this particular needle insertion by Fang Yi was mainly to regulate her bodily functions, temporarily preventing the condition Li Xue had just experienced.
Li Xue felt as violated as one could be, her wails threatening to puncture the walls of the entire office.
Outside the office, two middle-aged guards exchanged glances upon hearing the noises inside.
"What’s going on inside? It sounds like the director is being...?"
"I say, Old Li, are you blind? Can’t you tell they are a couple? The director is just putting up a symbolic resistance. If we barge in now and interrupt her, be careful she doesn’t make us pay for it."
"Oh, then it’s better not to go in."
"Of course, you can’t even listen, let’s go interrogate those prisoners."
The two middle-aged guards left together.
The guards from the Guard Department had already been sent away by Li Xue, and with the departure of those two middle-aged guards, there was no one around the director’s office. Li Xue was shouting to no avail, as if heaven and earth were deaf to her cries.
Who knows how much time passed, it felt like enduring torture, and finally, it was over.
Fang Yi then lit up a cigarette, sitting at the other end of the sofa. The scene resembled a segment from a certain film, where after the first forceful act, the man sat complacently while the woman wept quietly at the side, overwhelmed with distress.
To put it simply, it was like the eerie aftermath of finishing the deed.
"Heroine, stop crying. Those who want to achieve great things shouldn’t sweat the small stuff. Besides, I am a good guy, not a bad one," Fang Yi said with earnest.
"You’re a good guy? Please!" Li Xue pouted and retorted, "You’re the worst, most despicable villain, the biggest lecher in the world!"
"You’re biting the hand that feeds you, not recognizing a good heart," Fang Yi said.
"You’re the dog!" Li Xue retorted out of anger.
"I’m not a dog, I’m a wolf," Fang Yi corrected.
"I am a proud and forthright big lecher, isn’t that what you just said?" Fang Yi replied.
"..." Li Xue was utterly defeated by Fang Yi’s shamelessness.
"Alright, stop fussing. I’ve only temporarily controlled the poison in your body. You might still have an outbreak, so go back and rest well," said Fang Yi.
"What?!" Li Xue’s face went rigid, an outbreak could still occur?
"Yes, otherwise what did you think?" Fang Yi, seeing what she was thinking, said with a smile, "Next time, don’t dress so attractively, or I might not be able to resist."
In a presidential suite at a five-star hotel.
Upon hearing the news of the failure of the ’Knights’ she had sent out, Isabella was deathly pale.
"Abandoned Dragon... How could Abandoned Dragon turn up at the Guard Department? Could it be... he had anticipated my rescue plan?" Isabella murmured to herself, with uncontrollable fear in her eyes.
Not far across from Isabella, a man in black stood, none other than the leader of the ’Knights’ who had gone to the Guard Department to rescue people that night.
"Bishop Isabella, why didn’t you make it clear that Abandoned Dragon would be there? I have lost several knights now, all of them elites. But with Abandoned Dragon there, how could we possibly stand a chance? Did you do this on purpose?" The man in black asked coldly.
"Are you questioning me, Captain Red of the Knights?" Isabella said with gravity.
"No... I dare not, it’s just confusing," said the man called Red, his tone firm and laden with anger. He too had heard the name Abandoned Dragon, and had he known Abandoned Dragon would be there, he would have immediately withdrawn, never daring to charge in again.
Isabella fell silent for a moment then said, "Alger!"
The follower accompanying Isabella stepped forward: "Miss!"
"Prepare the plane tickets to leave immediately, we can no longer stay here. Abandon Li Xuan as a pawn, we must leave at once!"
Then, with a cold laugh, Red said, "Bishop Isabella, Abandoned Dragon asked me to relay a message to you."
"He said... if you dare to leave, you will bear the consequences yourself," Red conveyed.
