107: Chapter 107: Formidable Opponent!

Perhaps it was indeed too long since she’d felt loneliness, or maybe deep down she was a woman who burned with passion; once Xu Qianli, that rascal, took advantage when she was vulnerable, Zi Yumo simply let him have his way, allowing him to embrace her waist from behind, allowing him to pull her into his arms, allowing her to act recklessly.

Turning her head, Zi Yumo gazed at Xu Qianli with seductive eyes and pouted her red lips, saying with unparalleled enthusiasm, “Kiss me!”

A single “Kiss me!” was more lethal than anything else; Xu Qianli fiercely kissed Zi Yumo, this incredibly beautiful, proud, domineering, wild, and violent woman.

From this day forward, she was all his.

After a fiery kiss, Zi Yumo suddenly gripped the bedsheets, her beautiful brows furrowed with pain.

Damn it, this despicable man was utterly detestable.

Gradually, the hospital room once again echoed with sounds that made one’s cheeks flush and heart race.

…

The night was far too brief, and the vexing sun quickly climbed the horizon.

It was unclear how many times they’d been intimate throughout the night, but Xu Qianli, holding Zi Yumo’s enchanting body, was deep in slumber.

The strange feeling in her body kept Zi Yumo wide awake, staring at the sleeping Xu Qianli.

Although she was still a virgin, she was very aware that after being bullied by Xu Qianli all night, her purity was long gone.

This detestable man had taken advantage of her most lonely and helpless moment the previous night to storm into her life, disrupting her heart and having an intimate relationship with her—a despicable act indeed.

To think of Zi Yumo, such a strong woman, how could she fall into the hands of this scoundrel?

Recalling last night’s events, she couldn’t stop a flush of embarrassment from creeping up her face – she was utterly humiliated.

When she slightly moved her body, stirring the pain, she couldn’t help but glare at Xu Qianli.

You bastard, you bullied me.

I’ll be watching your performance from now on.

If you haven’t achieved something that I recognize as significant in three years, you’re dead!

While watching him, Zi Yumo suddenly realized that this lad was actually quite handsome, growing fonder the more she looked.

Suddenly, Xu Qianli muttered something in his sleep, “Xu Shuman, I’m going to kill you!”

Xu Shuman, his ex-girlfriend?

Zi Yumo felt a surge of inexplicable rage, a bout of jealousy coming over her, and subconsciously kicked out, fiercely booting him off the bed.

Xu Qianli was sleeping soundly when he thudded onto the floor, startled awake, and looked bewilderedly at the huffy beauty on the bed.

What had he done to offend her, to get kicked while sleeping so soundly?

Zi Yumo glared at Xu Qianli fiercely, put on her clothes with a dark expression, and hurriedly got dressed.

Before long, the stunning body that Xu Qianli was utterly besotted with was tightly wrapped in her clothes.

Once dressed, Zi Yumo couldn’t be bothered with Xu Qianli any longer; she turned around, striding off with long legs, her slender waist and ample hips that Xu Qianli was so obsessed with, twisting as she left.

Xu Qianli hurriedly said, “Wait!

Hey, violent girl, after all we’ve been through tonight, aren’t you going to say anything before leaving?”

“Hmph, what’s there to say?”

“Last night, I might as well have been bitten by a dog; it wasn’t a big deal at all.”

“And as for you, feel lucky and just keep it to yourself.

If you dare spread the word, I guarantee your disappearance from this world!”

“Don’t think I’m joking.

I mean what I say.”

“And don’t forget what you promised me.”

With those words, Zi Yumo coolly walked away.

Once outside the hospital room, Zi Yumo sucked in a breath of cold air.

Ouch, it hurts to move.

Xu Qianli, that rascal, is just awful!

In the hospital ward, Xu Qianli shrugged his shoulders and got dressed quickly, chasing after her.

“Tomboy, wait for me.”

No matter whether she was willing or not, Xu Qianli scooped her up around the waist, and they left the hospital, finding a nearby breakfast place to eat.

Zi Yumo couldn’t refuse and simply let Xu Qianli have his way.

While eating, Zi Yumo made a few phone calls to understand the situation.

She had suffered from painful menstruation last night and had been taken by Xu Qianli to the hospital, unsure if there had been any additional incidents afterward.

Zi Yumo quickly got the picture.

Indeed, an unexpected incident had occurred last night.

Firstly, the captain of Linjiang County’s anti-smuggling team had committed suicide by swallowing a gun, leaving behind a suicide note, stating that he had been suffering from depression for years and had long since lost the will to live.

Then, Jiang City’s richest man, Sun Wanshan, had a heart attack while in detention, was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and died.

Zhongzhou City’s Red Fire Bar caught fire and burned to ashes.

A group from Zhongzhou City turned themselves in, saying their minds had been clouded by greed the night before, and they had planned to rob a few cars, chasing them all the way to Luo’s Sand Pit.

There was also another piece of major news – the Mayor of Zhongzhou City, Lu Xingtian, the second-in-command, had proactively gone to the provincial Disciplinary Committee and requested a comprehensive disciplinary review.

Upon learning these news from Zi Yumo, Xu Qianli no longer had any appetite, and his mind raced.

The death of the Linjiang County anti-smuggling team captain was too suspicious.

Why did he have to die right at this critical juncture?

Sun Wanshan’s heart attack could be understood since being in detention would leave anyone in a constant state of high anxiety, making a heart attack normal – yet the timing was too strange.

The Red Fire Bar in Zhongzhou City had burned down, and by using some common sense, it couldn’t have been an accident.

Given that everyone had fled the night before due to Xu Qianli and Wu Kai scaring them off, and the bar had already closed, how did the fire start?

As for the group that turned themselves in, it was clear they were trying to take the fall for yesterday’s chase and hoping to wrap things up that way.

Each of these incidents reeked of suspicion and unreasonableness, clearly indicating someone was manipulating events to settle the matters from the night before.

Xu Qianli did not know if it was Lu Xingtian or someone even more powerful, but he was well aware that the energy behind this person was no trivial matter.

As for Lu Xingtian’s proactive request to the provincial Disciplinary Committee for a review, it was undoubtedly a strategic retreat.

Currently embroiled in the scandal involving his son Lu Chen and his nephew Fang Xiong, his position was unstable, and he might face dismissal, hence, he preemptively took such a measure to prove his innocence.

Once the Disciplinary Committee cleared him from the review, he could easily extricate himself from the scandal.

Although this move was risky, it was indeed impressive.

After much consideration, Xu Qianli let out a long sigh and said, “It seems that reaching such heights, none are simple.”

Zi Yumo rolled her eyes at Xu Qianli, as if he were an idiot, and said irritably, “You just figured that out?

Now you realize the kind of ruthless person you’ve offended, are you scared?”

“Scared?”

Xu Qianli reached out and held Zi Yumo’s small hand.

“I’m not even scared of a tomboy like you; why would I be afraid of him?”

Zi Yumo felt something was off about his comment, quickly withdrew her hand, and busied herself with peeling an egg and bringing it to his mouth.

“Stop bragging and eat some more.

Eggs are full of protein.

Eat a few more to replenish yourself.”

As she spoke, Zi Yumo couldn’t help but recall the events of the previous night, feeling a mix of shyness and sweetness in her heart.

Xu Qianli was taken aback for a moment, not having expected Zi Yumo to have such a gentle side.

It was rare.

Once Xu Qianli finished the egg, Zi Yumo asked, “With such a big incident, what are your plans for now?”

Xu Qianli replied, “If my prediction isn’t wrong, Lu Xingtian must be eager to kill me now.

In a month or two, his disciplinary review will conclude, and most likely, he’ll be cleared of any wrongdoing.

At that point, he’ll definitely start cracking down on me fiercely.

I plan to take the opportunity to turn Jiang City into an iron fortress, making it tough for him to lay a finger on me!”
