276: Chapter 276: Dead Duck’s Stubbornness 276: Chapter 276: Dead Duck’s Stubbornness Every word of the conversation in this room, Cheng Ting heard crystal clear.
She even deliberately booked a room a few doors down on the same floor, just to eavesdrop and then take people to catch the cheaters.
“Bitch is a bitch, to say such things!”
Liu Xuxu sat quietly listening.
All she wanted now was for Lin Zhixiong to quickly ruin Jiang You!
However, she didn’t expect Jiang You to suspect them, just as Cheng Ting said, as long as they got a hold of Jiang You’s damning evidence, none of these would be an issue.
Even if she’s the Jiang Family’s young miss, so what?
With this kind of video, she can forget about living in peace for the rest of her life!
After Jiang You said this, Lin Zhixiong became even more excited, and his heart stirred more fiercely.
“My little beauty, I like how direct and straightforward you are.
Let’s see how you’ll make me ecstatic, I’m all eyes.”
Jiang You, holding back her disgust, squeezed out a smile and said, “Take two steps forward, and I’ll tell you.”
Jiang You’s smile was both seductive and adorable, a perfect combination, making Lin Zhixiong’s eyes dazzle.
Without much thought, he took two steps forward.
Then, Jiang You continued, “Close your eyes, and feel it properly.
I’ll start by taking off my clothes.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixiong’s laugh grew more licentious, and his face hideously grim.
“So the little beauty likes to play this game, huh?
Alright, tonight I’ll indulge in your game to the fullest.”
Then, he closed his eyes.
Jiang You rolled her eyes, continuing to suppress the disgust rising within her, and snickered.
Just a few seconds after Lin Zhixiong closed his eyes, Jiang You said, “Alright, you can open your eyes now.”
As soon as Lin Zhixiong heard this, his thick lips curled up with a wicked smile.
But as he barely opened his eyes, Jiang You pressed down on the anti-wolf spray.
A hissing sound ensued…
She showed no mercy, spraying it all over his face, especially in his eyes.
“Ah!”
Lin Zhixiong suddenly screamed; tears streamed non-stop from his eyes, which also felt burning hot, and his nose and mouth were in extreme discomfort.
“Bitch, what did you use on me?”
He covered his eyes with both hands, unable to open them, then coughed violently, feeling terrible all over.
After Jiang You finished spraying, she took a step forward, raised her leg, and without hesitation kicked his groin fiercely with her high-heeled shoes.
“Ah!”
Another scream.
For a moment, his hands didn’t know where to cover; it burned terribly on top and ached intensely below, like being electrocuted, causing him so much pain he could barely stand, and he fell to the ground.
Jiang You looked coldly at his body of fat as it crashed onto the floor; if not for her disgust, she would want to kick him some more.
She even disdained the shoe she had just kicked him with; immediately, she removed it and put it back on her foot, finding it revolting.
Lin Zhixiong writhed in pain on the ground.
Cheng Ting and Liu Xuxu next door were flabbergasted, exchanging glances, wondering what had happened.
“I’m using an anti-wolf spray for the first time ever, and you were the lucky one to taste it,” Jiang You really wanted to curse, but she held back: “Since you like to play so much, I’ll make sure you can’t play at all for the second half of your life!”
“Bang!”
The moment her words fell, the door was violently pushed open from the outside.
Then she saw Gu Beiyan’s tall and handsome figure standing before her, instantly feeling as if her eyes were cleansed.
Her Beiyan was indeed more pleasing to the eye.
Gu Beiyan saw her barefoot, with her clothes intact, and he strode over, pulling her into his arms.
“Were you scared?
Sorry, I didn’t see you.”
The man’s low, slightly anxious voice reached her ears.
Jiang You’s heart warmed instantly, her ears also slightly hot.
“Aiya, don’t worry, I’m fine,” Jiang You raised her hand, patting his shoulder.
Lu Ling followed behind, also rushing in.
The security guards brought by the manager stood outside, as they were all men, he worried they might see something they shouldn’t and didn’t let them in.
Instead, they stood guard at the door.
“Youzi, Youzi, are you safe?” Lu Ling asked anxiously.
Although she had heard the conversation over the phone, she was still worried that Jiang You, a delicate woman, might be taken advantage of by a man.
When she arrived, she heard screams on the phone, which frightened her, and she didn’t pay attention to the conversation afterward.
Gu Beiyan and Lu Ling, upon entering, automatically ignored Lin Zhixiong, who was writhing on the ground in pain.
Jiang You gestured for Gu Beiyan to let go of her, “Beiyan, let go of me first, you’re making it hard for me to breathe.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Beiyan immediately let go of her and then loosely wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and lifted her slightly, so she stepped onto his shoes.
“Don’t move, stand still,” Gu Beiyan instructed her to stay close to him.
Jiang You didn’t move, standing obediently.
Lu Ling glanced over but said nothing, finding that the two standing together were quite a sight for sore eyes.
“I’m fine, don’t worry.
It’s him who’s in trouble,” Jiang You steadied herself and then pointed at Lin Zhixiong on the ground.
Then, both turned their gaze to the man on the floor, holding his groin, rolling in pain.
Without Jiang You mentioning it, they both understood what had happened.
Leaning against Gu Beiyan, Jiang You started to complain, “Beiyan, if you came a bit later, I would have been defiled by him; he even touched my hand earlier, and dirtied my shoes.
He also brazenly threatened me, demanding I sleep with him.”
“At that moment, I was so furious, even if I were to accompany someone, it would definitely be only you, Beiyan.”
Originally, upon hearing the first part of her speech, Gu Beiyan was fuming, his eyes darkening while gazing at the fleshly lump on the ground, yet her words caused an unexpected shift.
“Fortunately, I was smart and brought an anti-wolf spray when I left home, otherwise, I wouldn’t have escaped.”
“But it’s a pity, you can’t play the hero now.”
Gu Beiyan looked down at her, raised his hand, and ruffled her hair, full of indulgence in his gaze.
He didn’t care about playing hero; her being able to protect herself was good since he worried he might not always appear in time every time.
“As long as you’re okay,” Gu Beiyan said: “Leave the rest to me.”
“Okay,” Jiang You obediently agreed.
“Manager Tang, come on in,” Gu Beiyan called out.
Upon hearing his voice, Manager Tang entered with his people.
“Mr.
Gu, Second Miss.” Manager Tang sighed in relief upon seeing Jiang You safe and unharmed.
If something had happened to her here, they wouldn’t be able to explain it to the president.
Manager Tang glanced at Lin Zhixiong on the ground – he was a director of XY Media Group, a man known for his lechery and often brought minor celebrities here to book rooms.
What he didn’t expect was that Lin had the audacity to cross paths with the Jiang Family and Gu Family, so it looked like the end of the road for the Lin Family.
Suddenly, Jiang You turned to Gu Beiyan and said, “He was acting on someone else’s orders.”
In fact, when that child suddenly showed up and then was anxious for her to take them to find their family, she felt it was strange.
She followed mainly to see who was plotting against her.
When she saw Lin Zhixiong, she found him somewhat familiar because she seemed to have seen him in the crew one day.
He was with Ms.
Cheng under a big tree, hugging and getting intimate; she didn’t want to end up cursed with sty eyes, so she only glanced at him, but that was when she saw Lin Zhixiong’s face.
She didn’t intend to memorize his face, it was just by chance she saw him again today and remembered.
Gu Beiyan looked down at her bright eyes and asked in a deep voice, “Do you know who it is?”
Jiang You didn’t mind the people present, she wrapped an arm around his neck, pulled him down a bit, and the man cooperated with her by leaning closer.
She whispered in his ear, “This fat pig is Ms.
Cheng’s lover, and I suspect they have installed listening and recording devices here.”
The warm breath of the woman hit his face, Gu Beiyan’s expression darkened, and his hand around her waist tightened a bit.
Ms.
Cheng was someone he didn’t recognize, but that wouldn’t stop him from sending someone to investigate.
He responded in a deep voice: “Alright, I know.”
Then, he waved Manager Tang over and gave a quiet instruction by his ear.
Manager Tang immediately ordered his staff to start searching for listening devices and cameras.
“Then, Mr.
Gu, and Second Miss, what should we do with him?
Call the police?” Manager Tang gestured towards Lin Zhixiong who was still on the ground crying out in pain.
“Lock him up for now, we’ll call the police later,” Gu Beiyan said.
He had a score to settle with him.
“Understood, Mr.
Gu.”
At this moment, Ms.
Cheng and Liu Xuxu began to panic.
Especially Ms.
Cheng, if she hadn’t misheard, a man had called Jiang You “Second Miss.” What “Second Miss”?
Wasn’t that lowlife Jiang You born into an ordinary family?
A glint passed through Liu Xuxu’s eyes as she thought about how to get away.
It seemed she had underestimated Jiang You’s capabilities, thinking she was a powerless woman.
However, this Lin Zhixiong was indeed a disappointment; he failed even when the opportunity was handed to him!
“Xuxu, since we’ve been discovered, we need to leave quickly.
Otherwise, if we get caught later, it will be terrible.
You go first, I’ll cover for you,” Liu Xuxu said.
In her heart, Ms.
Cheng felt somewhat touched; she didn’t expect Liu Xuxu to protect her at a time like this.
“Ms.
Xu, thank you, but don’t worry, this matter has nothing to do with you.
It won’t involve you,” Ms.
Cheng was loyal and didn’t kick a friend while they were down.
Liu Xuxu had a complicated expression, “Xuxu, don’t say that.
After all, you were just standing up for me.
If it comes to it, I’m willing to help you.”
“Ms.
Xu, you’re so kind,” Ms.
Cheng said.
At this time, the hotel’s security had already found the listening devices and cameras hidden in room 1608.
Gu Beiyan’s dark eyes narrowed, his voice low and chilly, “Find the person involved.”
Manager Tang responded and left with his team, taking Lin Zhixiong with them; after all, they needed him to find others.
“Beiyan, you can put me down now,” Jiang You spoke up.
Stepping on him continuously made her feel a bit embarrassed, although hugging him closely was quite delightful.
Gu Beiyan looked at her, one arm wrapped around her back, and another slipped under her knees, then effortlessly lifted her up and walked towards the door.
Lu Ling wasn’t sure whether she should follow them or not.
In the end, she decided to follow.
Gu Beiyan carried her to the presidential suite on the top floor, which had a room exclusively for him.
He set her down on the sofa in the living room, then turned around to get her a pair of slippers and helped her put them on.
Lu Ling stood by the entire time, feeling like she was feasting on dog food.
“Rest here for a bit; I’ll be back soon.” Gu Beiyan kneeled on one knee in front of her, looked up into her eyes, and said warmly.
Jiang You rested her hands on the edge of the sofa and blinked her sparkling eyes, nodding, “Mhm, got it.”
Once Gu Beiyan left, Lu Ling approached her, “What exactly happened?
How did you end up in that Lin scumbag’s room?”
Jiang You sighed and recounted the process to her briefly.
“…”
After listening, Lu Ling commented, “Are kids these days all this sinister?”
Jiang You replied, “It’s not that serious.
It’s normal for kids to be unable to discern right from wrong and to be manipulated.
Besides, it was just a little kid.”
“If you knew it was a trap, why did you jump into it?
If anything had happened to you, even if I sold myself, I couldn’t compensate for it,” Lu Ling said.
“Hey, I called you right away, didn’t I?
And I even gave you all the important information.
With your smarts, you would definitely find someone to save me,” Jiang You said, laying a hand on her shoulder and coquettishly leaning against her.
Lu Ling said, “I think you’re just too brave.”
Jiang You said, “I just wanted to see what kind of tricks they were planning to play, but I didn’t expect such outdated methods.”
Though she might seem a bit silly normally, she did have a scheming brother, Jiang Yan.
Having been influenced by him from a young age, even if she didn’t inherit all of his cunning, she had learned some tricks.
She wouldn’t do anything if she wasn’t confident about it.
She lived by the principle: if no one offends me, I won’t offend anyone; but if I’m provoked, I’ll definitely strike back!
Since she decided to strike back, she had to probe into the Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave to find evidence.
Only with evidence could she launch a deadly counterattack…
“Why didn’t you wait for Mr.
Gu to play the hero and save the beauty?
That could have been a good opportunity to deepen your relationship,” Lu Ling gossiped.
Jiang You replied, “If I had known he was here, I would have waited, but I didn’t know he was coming.”
She could have delayed for a bit.
“Missed the perfect chance, no worries.
There are plenty of hero-saves-the-beauty scenarios, not fussing over this one,” she consoled herself.
Lu Ling: “…”
Meanwhile, Manager Tang had already found Cheng Ting with his team.
“What are you going to do to me?
Let me go!” Cheng Ting roared, “Is this how your hotel treats its guests?
I’m going to expose your service attitude!”
Cheng Ting was pinned down on her knees by two security guards, unable to struggle or escape.
Manager Tang was indifferent to her accusations, scoffing, “Ms.
Cheng, if we talk about faults, the crimes you committed are much greater than ours.
You instigated someone to infringe upon another, and you installed bugs and cameras in our hotel; we have evidence of all of that.
You might end up spending the rest of your life behind bars.”
“You’re talking nonsense.
This has nothing to do with me,” Cheng Ting denied.
Even if Jiang You guessed it was her doing, she had no evidence against her; Cheng Ting believed that as long as she didn’t confess, they couldn’t do anything.
Seeing Cheng Ting’s obstinate denial, Manager Tang was speechless.
Some people just won’t shed tears until they see the coffin.
