CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56: ABNORMAL REACTION

With a loud "clang," Feng Jiuzun fell to the ground.

"Ah."

The people around were startled, screams echoing incessantly.

Feng Huai heard the commotion and quickly ran over.

"Jiu, Jiu? Hurry, call an ambulance."

Chairman Li also pushed through the crowd, extremely anxious. After all, this was Feng Jiuzun, the heart of the Feng Family. If anything happened during his banquet, how could he explain it to the Feng Family?

Immediately, the scene turned chaotic.

Ningwan seized the chance to retreat into the crowd, but from the corner of her eye, she saw Liu Shiyan supporting Zhan Hanjue as they left.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, she looked around and found Chen Tan missing, then instinctively followed them.

Liu Shiyan, such a frail woman, obviously found it quite difficult to support Zhan Hanjue.

Probably concentrating on supporting Zhan Hanjue, she didn’t even notice Ningwan following behind.

Ningwan watched her lead Zhan Hanjue into an elevator, which ascended and stopped on the sixth floor. She quickly entered another elevator, pressing the button for the sixth floor.

"Mr. Zhan, slow down."

Zhan Hanjue seemed drunk and powerless, needing Liu Shiyan’s support to walk forward.

Liu Shiyan, attempting to drag the tall Zhan Hanjue, was nearly exhausted.

When Ningwan’s elevator reached the sixth floor, Liu Shiyan had just managed to get Zhan Hanjue out of her elevator.

She supported him, staggering forward, stopping at room 626, pulling out a room card that beeped, unlocking the door.

"Mr. Zhan, I’m taking you to rest."

Liu Shiyan supported Zhan Hanjue inside.

Zhan Hanjue was too heavy; she barely had time to close the door as she helped him toward the big bed.

Ningwan followed naturally into the room, closing the door behind them.

Liu Shiyan finally managed to get Zhan Hanjue onto the bed, gasping and patting her chest in exhaustion.

But as she turned around, she saw Ningwan had entered behind her.

She was startled, screaming, "What are you doing here?"

Ningwan reached out a silver needle, swiftly pricking it at the acupuncture point on her neck.

Liu Shiyan stared blankly at Ningwan, and soon her eyes closed, her body weakly falling to the ground.

"Zhan Hanjue, what’s wrong?" Ningwan stepped forward and tapped Zhan Hanjue’s face.

Zhan Hanjue’s cheeks were unusually red, his eyes tightly shut, not reacting to Ningwan’s touch.

Ningwan quickly placed her hand on his pulse, checking his condition.

Heartbeat racing.

She then placed her hand on his chest; his heart was also beating intensely.

This rhythm was surely abnormal, coupled with his flushed cheeks, Ningwan quickly withdrew her hand, turning to Liu Shiyan on the ground.

"You’re really something, actually drugging him."

Zhan Hanjue had been drugged, but she didn’t know what kind yet.

However, within two minutes, Ningwan figured it out.

Because Zhan Hanjue slowly awoke, feeling hot, tugging off his tie, tearing open his shirt buttons.

A button flew off his shirt, landing right on Liu Shiyan’s forehead.

Liu Shiyan, with flawless skin, as smooth as tofu.

It left an immediate red mark.

Ningwan laughed in anger.

Anyhow, Liu Shiyan would not wake up for a while, so she ignored her.

"Zhan Hanjue, stop tearing. I know you’re uncomfortable. I’ll get you some water."

Ningwan stood up, intending to get Zhan Hanjue a glass of ice water to cool him down.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Hanjue suddenly opened his eyes, looking at her with bloodshot eyes.

Reaching out, he grabbed her wrist, pulling her onto the bed.

Then, Zhan Hanjue pressed down on her, gazing into her eyes. His eyes were red but unfocused.

"Zhan Hanjue, calm down," Ningwan said anxiously.

"Sorry," Zhan Hanjue whispered an apology.

Before Ningwan could react, Zhan Hanjue bent down and kissed her lips, brutally and fervently.

Ningwan pushed hard against him.

But it was useless, he was too heavy, all his weight pressing down on her, making it impossible to move.

Actually, she could use the silver needle to render him unconscious.

But with Zhan Hanjue’s skin touching hers, he was scorching hot.

The exhaled heat felt burning and abnormal.

Ningwan didn’t know what kind of drug Liu Shiyan gave him.

This drug’s effects could be minor or severe; it might even be life-threatening.

"Girl, behave."

Zhan Hanjue roughly tore through the evening dress on her... Ningwan cried in pain...

Just a chaotic and rippling night.

Zhan Hanjue’s heat finally faded, returning to normal, his body sagging as he drifted off to sleep.

Ningwan’s face was tear-stained, her brows knitted tightly in pain.

Though she knew such a first experience would undoubtedly be painful, she hadn’t expected it to be this painful.

Even worse, despite being the victim, Zhan Hanjue fell asleep first.

On top of everything, she had to muster her strength to check his pulse.

Fortunately, his pulse was normal, indicating the drug’s effects had worn off.

"Hmm..."

Suddenly, a woman’s moaning sounded.

Ningwan froze.

Had she forgotten Liu Shiyan?

Could she have witnessed everything broadcasted live?

Ningwan gritted her teeth, forced herself to get out of bed.

Luckily, Liu Shiyan was still asleep, the moan was just unconscious.

Ningwan quickly pricked her again to make her sleep more soundly.

She suddenly wondered why Liu Shiyan brought Zhan Hanjue here?

Something wasn’t right, perhaps things weren’t as simple as she thought.

Despite the pain, she dragged Liu Shiyan and shoved her into the wardrobe.

As soon as she closed the wardrobe door, footsteps sounded outside.

Ningwan froze, quickly dressed, and covered Zhan Hanjue with a quilt.

The door soon opened, a group rushed in, snapping photos of the bed.

"Mr. Zhan, what’s your relationship with Miss Liu?"

One reporter who had received early news loudly asked upon entering.

Ningwan wrapped in the quilt, angrily scolded, "Open your dog eyes and see, what Miss Liu. We’re a married couple in our room and you still want to take photos? What newspaper has the audacity, dare to leave a name?"

Chen Tan had also received the news, barging in with people.

Expecting to see Liu Shiyan, his mind raced with solutions for the ensuing trouble, surprised to find the lady instead.

Ningwan glared at him, admonished, "Chen Tan, aren’t you going to drive these people out? Also call a lawyer to hold them accountable."

"Yes, madam." Chen Tan beamed, immediately ordering bodyguards to drive out the reporters.

The journalists were bewildered.

How was the news different from what they’d received?

Wasn’t it supposed to be Liu Shiyan?

How did it turn into someone’s wife?

Ye Xuan mingled among the journalists, also was driven out, her face one of befuddlement.

She’d clearly seen Liu Shiyan take Zhan Hanjue away, how had Ningwan replaced her?
