Fang En discovered that Li Chonglou's strength was unbelievably great, but this also meant she couldn't escape, and the panic on her face intensified.
"Let go of me, I don't need your help!"
Fang En still struggled, but this was clearly futile for Li Chonglou.
Faced with Fang En's non-cooperation, Li Chonglou said coldly, "My friend was framed by you. Do you think I'll just let you go like this?"
Fang En's face changed, and just as she was about to shout, Li Chonglou quickly added, "If you don't want to die, don't even think about calling for help."
Saying that, he tightened his grip slightly. Fang En's face immediately turned pale from the pain, and she knelt down.
Large beads of sweat also trickled from her forehead. At this moment, she finally realized something: the man in front of her could truly kill her at any time!
Facing the fear of death, Fang En finally relented.
"Don't kill me, please don't kill me. I still have a family to support, and I really had no choice but to do this."
Fang En, with her long hair down and head slightly bowed, spoke softly with a crying voice, wiping away tears with her other hand, looking very pitiable.
However, Li Chonglou felt no softness, mainly because Fang En was too different from what he understood. He couldn't tell who was telling the truth and who was lying.
"Tell me everything that happened."
After sobbing for a while, Fang En confessed everything.
The situation was similar to what Li Chonglou had guessed. Fang En was suddenly approached by a stranger, then threatened to help the other party do this, and would receive a generous reward if successful. Fang En had no choice but to agree.
After speaking, Fang En added, "I was drugged last night, and it was really with your friend..."
Li Chonglou's brow furrowed. If this was the case, then the only way to solve the problem now was for Fang En to withdraw the lawsuit, and then they would announce their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend. Perhaps the matter could then be resolved.
But the problem was, Fang En, whose family was still being threatened, didn't dare to withdraw the lawsuit. And once the case entered the legal process and a verdict was reached, even withdrawing it would be useless!
So, it had to be fast!
Thinking of this, Li Chonglou immediately stood up and pulled Fang En out.
"Wait, where are you taking me!"
Li Chonglou turned his head, glared at her coldly, and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to kill anyone. Behave yourself and come with me first."
As he spoke, Li Chonglou released a bit of his oppressive aura. Fang En was just an ordinary woman and had never experienced such a thing. Her pupils immediately shrank in fear, and her entire expression turned dazed.
This was the reaction of being almost scared out of her wits. The body's innate protective mechanism cut off her brain's imagination, which naturally reduced her ability to react.
Thus, Fang En was led away from the foot bath shop by Li Chonglou, like a puppet.
The receptionist watched their retreating figures and joked, "She's already gone out with a customer! She was saying earlier that she sells art but not herself, spit."
Upon reaching the street, Fang En suddenly reacted. First, she trembled uncontrollably, then stopped in her tracks.
"Where exactly are you taking me?"
Li Chonglou silently turned around and said in a deep voice, "Take me to the person who contacted you."
Fang En said cautiously, "But I'm still wearing my work uniform, and my phone is still in the shop..."
Li Chonglou chuckled, "Are you sure you contacted the other party through your phone?"
Fang En was immediately shocked and said with an incredulous expression, "How did you know!"
Li Chonglou remained silent. They were still on the street. Although it was lunchtime and people hadn't left work yet, there weren't many people on the street. However, he could feel people casting strange glances at them.
It was unavoidable; the attire for the foot bath shop was somewhat revealing, and experienced people could tell Fang En's identity at a glance.
So, Li Chonglou didn't linger on the street for long. Instead, he took Fang En to a hotel room first.
Since Fang En had no other identification on her, Li Chonglou's ID was used.
As the two left the front desk, the staff member muttered with a hint of teasing, "So envious, taking her out directly at this hour."
Looking at Fang En's full figure, the staff member even licked his lips.
After Li Chonglou brought her into the room, he could clearly feel Fang En's nervousness.
He couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I just want to find a quiet place."
After speaking, Li Chonglou got straight to the point.
"Also, stop pretending in front of me. Someone who recorded a statement at midnight can work normally the next day. This is not the persona you're showing now."
Fang En's expression immediately froze.
"I, I don't know what you're talking about..."
Fang En turned her head away, not daring to look at Li Chonglou.
Li Chonglou chuckled.
In fact, judging solely by her expression, he really couldn't tell if Fang En's act was genuine or not. It was only after grabbing her wrist that Li Chonglou's hand happened to fall on her pulse, which allowed him to detect something.
This girl named Fang En was also an accomplished actress!
Although Li Chonglou hadn't formally studied it, he had seen enough. Especially for those who practiced martial arts, they had some understanding of taking pulses. Fang En often appeared panicked on the surface, but her pulse was extremely steady.
Even when she put on a sorrowful act, her pulse remained steady.
The only change occurred when Li Chonglou released his oppressive aura. At that moment, Fang En's pulse became erratic!
This meant that what she had said before was very likely all lies!
Li Chonglou had kept a reservation because of what Fang En's colleague at the supermarket had said. If he hadn't been reminded, he would have been completely fooled by judging her truthfulness based on her expressions.
Seeing that Fang En still refused to admit it, Li Chonglou stopped wasting his breath. He released his oppressive aura again. Fang En trembled all over, and fear uncontrollably rose in her eyes again.
"I'll give you one last chance. You can also choose to speak after I break all your limbs."
Break her limbs!
Fang En finally got scared. Such cruel words, coupled with the aura Li Chonglou was emitting at the moment, made her have no doubt that Li Chonglou would do it!
"I'll tell you! Don't do it!"
Fang En spoke hurriedly, but what followed was just a repetition of what she had said before.
Li Chonglou frowned and said coldly, "What do you mean by this?"
