When the three thugs saw Lin Chen alone, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kid, we're in the middle of something here, get lost," the leader with dyed hair coldly commanded.
"You handle your business, I handle mine. I'm just here to take a leak. Once I'm done, I'll leave."
Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Jiayi's eyes lit up, and she struggled to shout, "Lin Chen, come save me!"
Lin Chen looked at Xu Jiayi and smiled: "Ah, beauty, we meet again. Wow, looks like you are busily occupied. Don't worry, I won't disturb your important affair. I'll leave as soon as I'm done peeing."
At Lin Chen's words, Xu Jiayi blushed, regretting her decision to stubbornly send Lin Chen away earlier, which led her to this dire situation.
Originally, the thug with dyed hair was worried that Lin Chen knew the girl and would interfere, but he relaxed after hearing him say he would leave after peeing.
Clearly, they knew each other but were not very close.
"Kid, if you gotta pee, pee quickly and get the hell out of here. Don't hold us up," the thug said coldly.
At that moment, Lin Chen looked at Xu Jiayi teasingly, his expression clearly inviting her to plead with him.
However, Xu Jiayi had always been very proud. How could she possibly bow to this jerk?
Grinding her teeth, Xu Jiayi still didn't call out.
Although she knew Lin Chen's skills were more than enough to deal with a few thugs, it was he who bullied her, took advantage of her, and now she had to plead with him. She just couldn't let go of her pride.
Seeing that Xu Jiayi still refused to speak, Lin Chen shrugged and turned to leave, waving his hand as he went, "Beauty, have fun. I'm off."
"This jerk, he really just walked away!" Xu Jiayi was nearly driven mad with rage.
Just as Lin Chen was about to exit the woods, she couldn't hold it in any longer and called out, "Lin Chen, don't go, save me!"
Xu Jiayi knew that falling into the hands of these thugs was far worse than being with Lin Chen.
Bowing to Lin Chen might bruise her ego, but if Lin Chen really left, it would be a disaster for her.
Considering how her body could be defiled by several dirty drunks, Xu Jiayi shivered with fear.
Lin Chen stopped and looked at Xu Jiayi playfully, "Should I have spanked you just now?"
Xu Jiayi nodded obediently, "You should have. I know you did it to counteract the poison."
"And just now, you said you'd kill me, never let me go," Lin Chen said with a cold laugh.
Xu Jiayi wore a face full of remorse, "I was foolish then; I was wrong. I'll treat you to a T-country feast later, take you to see the Lady in Red show, as my way of apologizing."
Hearing Xu Jiayi's contrite attitude, Lin Chen finally nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it. If you had been this compliant earlier, would you have had to suffer ?"
Hearing their conversation, the thug got angry, sensing this kid was going to meddle.
"You wanna die, kid? Dare meddle in my business," the thug shouted angrily.
Lin Chen helplessly said, "I can't help it. Such a beautiful woman shouldn't be ruined by you three. It's simply against the natural order!"
"Kid, you're asking for it," said the thug as he stretched out his hand and threw a powerful punch toward Lin Chen.
A cold flash crossed Lin Chen's eyes: "Was it this filthy hand that tore the girl's clothes? Then I'll disable it, so it can't harm anyone again."
As his words fell, Lin Chen's hand clamped down on the heavy man's hand like a vice, and he twisted it fiercely in the opposite direction.
"Snap!" The thug's wrist instantly bent into a frightening angle.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! My hand!" The thug screamed in agony.
The other two, seeing Lin Chen in action, also showed a fierce expression, each pulling out a switchblade from their pockets and charging at Lin Chen.
However, before they understood what was happening, they only saw a blur. Their switchblades were already flying out of their hands, and the next moment, there was a spray of blood from their thighs.
Xu Jiayi, shocked, watched Lin Chen move; he was so fast that she only saw a blur.
On the quiet path, three naked men were tied up to trees, each wearing a fearful expression.
Especially since they were at the edge of the woods, where blood-sucking insects were rampant, it wasn't long before the men were covered in bugs.
Lin Chen clapped his hands and laughed, "How about that, are you satisfied with how I handled them?"
Xu Jiayi nodded, though, in reality, she most wanted to tie up Lin Chen, that jerk.
Having learned from the past experience, she was much more compliant, "Let's go home."
Before Xu Jiayi finished speaking, she suddenly felt an intense heat, feeling as if her body was on fire, even wanting to rip off her clothes.
"What's wrong?" Lin Chen looked at Xu Jiayi, puzzled by her expression.
With a pained expression, Xu Jiayi said, "Just now, that bastard made me swallow a red pill."
"What! Damn, it must be some sort of aphrodisiac." At that moment, Xu Jiayi's eyes became more and more blurred.
With no other choice, Lin Chen had to pick her up and find a hotel to detoxify her.
At that moment, Xu Jiayi's cheeks flushed a crimson hue, her eyes foggy and tantalizing.
