CHAPTER 280: CHAPTER 280: LOCKED IN A CAGE

Ye Ningwan naturally wouldn’t wrong herself by going on a hunger strike, so after skipping a meal, she ate the next one.

Feng Jiuzun was overjoyed when he found out.

However, still uneasy, he personally went to find Li Qingqing.

"Are you sure those things have no side effects and won’t harm the body?" Feng Jiuzun questioned.

Li Qingqing elegantly crossed her legs, holding a glass of red wine, and upon hearing Feng Jiuzun’s questioning, she laughed disdainfully, "If you don’t believe it, you don’t have to use it on her anymore, it doesn’t matter to me anyway."

"I’m just worried about the possible side effects of the drug. As the saying goes, all drugs are three parts poison. What if there are side effects, and it harms the body?" Feng Jiuzun said.

Li Qingqing scoffed, "Feng Jiuzun, you want her but don’t want to take the risk; where in the world is there such a good thing."

"So, there really are side effects?" Feng Jiuzun’s eyes widened.

Li Qingqing was rendered speechless by his attitude, "Eating a meal might give you hypertension, obesity, and drinking a bottle of water might choke you. Do you think I’m a god, that the medicine I make has only benefits and no dangers? I’ve already told you, the benefits outweigh the risks. If we can achieve the results we want, what’s a little side effect to be afraid of? You like Ye Ningwan, and I also like Zhan Hanjue, and I definitely wouldn’t dare give it to him if there was a big impact. Although I wish Ye Ningwan dead, I still don’t want anything to happen to Zhan Hanjue. If I dare give it to Zhan Hanjue, what are you afraid of?"

"Besides, it’s not like there aren’t any successful cases, you know that, don’t you? They’ve been fine for over ten years, so what are you worried about now?" Li Qingqing paused for a moment and then added sarcastically.

Feng Jiuzun thought about it and agreed.

"Sorry, I’m just overthinking because I care. By the way, is Zhan Hanjue taking the medicine?"

"Of course, he’s been on it for two days already. In another week, the effects will kick in. By then, we can move on to the next step of the plan."

"He didn’t refuse?" Feng Jiuzun asked.

Li Qingqing snorted, "He doesn’t even know, what’s there to refuse? It’s mixed into his food every day, he has no idea what he’s consuming. But speaking of which, I’m curious, didn’t Ye Ningwan notice? She shouldn’t have; she’s Divine Doctor Bai Zhi, she wouldn’t fail to notice something added."

"Of course she noticed, she’s very clever. That’s why she reminded me; drugs are three parts poison, which is why I’m concerned and came to ask you." Feng Jiuzun said proudly.

Li Qingqing frowned, looking at his smug appearance, speechless: "What’s with your proud look? Are you proud because she noticed? If she noticed, she definitely wouldn’t keep eating, your issue is more troublesome than mine."

"Wrong, she’s not a silly woman who would go on a hunger strike. She’s still eating, even though she’s noticed, it doesn’t stop her from eating." Feng Jiuzun said.

"What? She knows something was added to the food and is still eating?" Li Qingqing was surprised.

"Yeah, is that strange?" Feng Jiuzun asked.

Li Qingqing fell silent.

Of course, it’s strange.

A person knowing there’s poison in the food would still continue to eat, even a fool would resist, let alone Ye Ningwan, who is not stupid.

"Feng Jiuzun, don’t blame me for not warning you. You better be careful of that Ye Ningwan, her behavior is abnormal. Keep a close eye on her; absolutely don’t let her have any contact with the outside world. If this affects my matters, I won’t forgive you." Li Qingqing warned coldly.

Feng Jiuzun sneered, "Li Qingqing, you think you can scare me? You’re even daring to threaten me, don’t forget, what you want is in my hands. You can’t survive in the entertainment industry without it, what can you do in the future without it."

"I’m just kindly reminding you, not threatening you, you’re overthinking it." Li Qingqing changed her tone and said amiably.

But Feng Jiuzun wasn’t buying it, he pouted and got up to leave.

After he left, Li Qingqing angrily picked up a teacup and threw it on the ground.

"Someone, clean this up."

Making a mess on the floor, Li Qingqing called someone over to clean it up.

Even though she is no longer a glamorous celebrity, she still hasn’t changed some of her bad habits.

For instance, she likes to smash things.

After making a mess, she’d have someone come to clean it up.

And while others cleaned, she would watch from the side.

Watching others work hard to clean up her mess gave her an inexplicable sense of pleasure, lifting her mood.

Finally, feeling a bit better, she went to the basement to see Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue had been locked up by her in the basement.

She wasn’t like Feng Jiuzun, who wanted to have everything carefully maintained.

He wanted to hide Ye Ningwan but couldn’t bear to have her locked in a decrepit basement.

He even rented a whole large flat for her, just to hide her like a precious treasure.

Not realizing that even at high places, there might be dangers.

If they really pushed Ye Ningwan to her limit, she might even consider jumping to her death.

Unlike the basement, where it’s safe.

Even if someone wants to run, there’s no way out, and if they want to die, they can’t find the door.

Zhan Hanjue was locked up by her in the basement.

Even he couldn’t escape from here.

"Still refusing to eat? This won’t accomplish anything."

Li Qingqing came to the basement and saw a food tray at the door, the food inside untouched. Only the mineral water on the side had half a bottle drunk.

She frowned and reminded Zhan Hanjue, who was locked inside.

Zhan Hanjue was locked inside a room.

It was called a room, but it could also be described as a cage.

The railing material was identical to those used in prisons, a new type of guard net with a steel core line, cast in stainless steel. The material was hard, high strength, high tension, providing excellent isolation.

Without a key, getting out from inside is harder than scaling the sky.

Zhan Hanjue sat coldly on the bed, after Li Qingqing finished her words, he simply lifted his eyes to glance coldly at her, then looked down again quickly.

Li Qingqing took a deep breath; Zhan Hanjue’s indifference made her heart heavy with discomfort.

"Zhan Hanjue, do you have to be like this? Why can’t you try to accept me, I love you so much."

"I’ve answered this question many times, and I don’t want to answer it again. Li Qingqing, unless you kill me, you can’t keep me locked up here forever. Don’t forget, I am the president of Zhan Group." Zhan Hanjue said coldly.

Li Qingqing said, "Yes, I can’t keep you locked up forever. Your people are looking for you all over, putting pressure on me from all sides. I can only keep you for a few more days before letting you go. Otherwise, even Wan Yufeng couldn’t withstand such pressure. So, you better eat your meals well, don’t bother with hunger striking. Otherwise, when I eventually have to let you go, you’ll starve to death."

Zhan Hanjue raised his head again, looking at her coldly.

Li Qingqing saw his expression soften a bit, and she continued persuasively, "Ye Ningwan is more tactful, she doesn’t bother with hunger strikes. Feng Jiuzun says she eats a lot and even told him that you need to be full to have the energy to run. How arrogant, but also very smart."
