The air stagnated as Xu Wenqi made eye contact with Shen Yue. She froze as her mind went blank and she couldn't open her mouth to say a single word. The haziness in Shen Yue's eyes began to recede and was gradually replaced with a cold violent look. The deeply embedded vigilance hidden in his eyes matched the intimidating momentum he beheld. Shen Yue grabbed Xu Wenqi's slim neck and choked her ruthlessly, restricting the air in her lungs. Her fearful watery eyes, coupled with the original owner's delicate features, painted a moving picture of fragile beauty. She desperately clawed at Shen Yue's hand but he made no attempts to let go of her. Xu Wenqi bit her cherry lips and whispered at a volume only he could hear.
"Schizophrenia."
Shen Yue's pupils dilated as he subconsciously squeezed her neck with more force before letting her go. Xu Wenqi fell onto the plush carpet of the hotel room with a thud. Her chest heaved violently as she gasped desperately for air. The shocking visual impact of the red brands of the marks on her neck would birth a sense of distress for any typical viewer. However, Shen Yue was not any other person.
"Was it President Huo who sent you here? So he already knows?" Shen Yue sneered.
Xu Wenqi looked up. The water droplets from his hair and his white, now translucent shirt had not yet dried. From Xu Wenqi's angle on the ground, Shen Yue's imposing force along with his dignified attitude was magnified. However, Xu Wenqi was in no mood to appreciate his innately fine looks. The near-death encounter with Shen Yue bred a sense of fear in Xu Wenqi's bones. She was afraid she would not make it out of the hotel room alive.
Xu Wenqi tried to appear as calm as possible and answered, "No, I was deceived by him to come into this room and wanted to quickly wake you up by splashing cold water on you because I was afraid you would take advantage of me."
Shen Yue didn't listen nor believe a single word of her story. Xu Wenqi subconsciously held her breath as Shen Yue suddenly grabbed her chin and moved until he was nearly an inch away from her face. If it wasn't for his eyes that viewed her as if he was looking at the dirt on the tip of his shoe, Xu Wenqi thought he would've kissed her. His eyes revealed contempt and a trace of disgust for her.
"If you're not from him, who are you from and how did you find out?" Shen Yue asked with a dangerous glint in his eye.
Xu Wenqi swallowed and made a horrible split-second decision that she would regret for the rest of her life. She broke free from his iron grip on her chin and threw herself into Shen Yue's arms. Shen Yue's entire body stiffened from the surprising action.
She buried her head into his large chest and replied as coquettishly as possible, "As I said, no one sent me here. I was deceived by Huo Lizheng to enter the room. If you don't believe me, you can just investigate. But don't hurt me because I wouldn't be able to stand the pain. As for how I know, I- I can't tell you right now..."
Xu Wenqi vomited a little on the inside saying these words in such a squeamish tone, but she knew from the book that Shen Yue was not the type to be close with women. He wouldn't be able to stand her acting like a baby the most. Facts have proven that Xu Wenqi's judgment was right as he violently threw her off his chest and glared at her fiercely before he grabbed his suit jacket discarded on the grand bed and strode out of the room without saying a word. The hotel room door opened with a click and closed with a loud thud. Xu Wenqi's knees became weak, and she collapsed on the floor after his departure.
"Aiyoo, it's really hard for small cannon fodder to survive ah! Praise the big Buddha that I was quick in thinking or else this old lady's dead body would've been carried out on a stretcher!"

Walking out of the room, Shen Yue dialed a string of numbers on his black monochrome phone, and before waiting long, a voice could be heard.
"President Shen, this subordinate deserves to be punished. I was unable to locate you after realizing you were missing from the banquet. The car has been prepared for over an hour now and I tried calling you at least twenty times. Did anything serious happen?"
Shen Yue's magnetic voice floated over the receiver as he said, "I was careless and the champagne was drugged. The details will be discussed later. For now, pick the woman up in room 1002 and bring her back to the Leng Yu villa."
Shen Yue ended the call and on the other end of the line, Secretary Chen wiped his non-existent sweat.
'This is the first time the boss in my entire seven years with him has mentioned anything related to a woman! A man usually not close to women suddenly asks me to bring one back to his home! Don't tell me that the sun is really coming out from the East to the West today?' questioned Secretary Chen.
