Luo Ning clenched her teeth and took the wine glass, sipping a small mouthful gently.
For her daughter, she had no choice but to drink this glass of wine.
But just a small sip, and she felt something was amiss.
Not only was her head feeling hazy, but her entire body was also burning up.
What's going on?
Could it be that this young master Cao had drugged the wine?
Luo Ning tried to stand up and leave, but her legs were weak, and she collapsed after taking only a few steps.
She hastily called out to Xiong Lu, "Lulu, I'm feeling unwell, take me back home..."
"Go back? What for?" Xiong Lu chuckled with her arms crossed, "To accompany your useless piece of trash husband?"
Luo Ning was no fool, and with a bit of thought, she understood, pointing at Xiong Lu with a face full of sorrow and anger, "You set me up!"
"Lulu! We have no grievances, why would you harm me?"
"Harm you? I'm helping you!" Xiong Lu said disdainfully, "Young Master Cao is the scion of Yunwei Real Estate Group. By following him, you'll rise from the ashes and become a phoenix."
"When you think about it, you should thank me!"
With that, Xiong Lu approached Cao Xiongbin with respectful obeisance, "Young Master Cao, about the four hundred thousand I owed you last time, could you see..."
"Hmm, not bad," Cao Xiongbin nodded, "Consider the previous debt, written off!"
"Thank you, Young Master Cao!" Xiong Lu immediately bent down to thank him, her attitude indescribably servile.
Half a month ago, she had racked up a huge debt at the gambling house, and the man behind the curtain was none other than Young Master Cao.
To repay the debt, Xiong Lu had already resorted to paying with her body several times, but Cao Xiongbin wasn't satisfied with Xiong Lu's looks and figure. He had had his fill of such inferior goods, losing interest after playing around a couple of times.
By chance, Xiong Lu learned that her close friend Luo Ning was busy borrowing money for medical treatment, and she set a trap, enticing Luo Ning into it.
Four hundred thousand?
Understood! It all became clear!
Luo Ning gave a bitter smile, so it turned out Xiong Lu betrayed her own friend for a debt of four hundred thousand.
While she was still conscious, she hurriedly opened her mobile phone and sent out the pre-composed message.
"Young Master Cao, quickly snatch her phone!" Xiong Lu, sharp-eyed, spotted Luo Ning texting, "She must be sending a distress message to her good-for-nothing husband!"
But Cao Xiongbin waved his hand, a sinister tone in his voice, "What's the rush, have you forgotten what my surname is?"
Xiong Lu's expression froze, then she understood. Young Master Cao often compared himself with Prime Minister Cao, and that prime minister's hobbies...
"My beauty, are you feeling hot? Do you desire it very much?"
Cao Xiongbin approached with a lecherous grin, "Don't worry, I won't take you now."
"When your useless husband arrives, I'll love you well in front of him, how about that?"
Saying this, he leaned in and pressed his nose against Luo Ning's smooth arm like lotus roots, "How fragrant!"
"Hurry up and get that loser over here, I can barely hold myself back!"
"No! Help!" Luo Ning struggled to her feet, trying to push Cao Xiongbin away, but as a weak woman who had been drugged, how could she move him, she could only keep shouting for help.
Meanwhile…
Curious about what Luo Ning was doing, Zhang Hao had secretly followed her.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way!"
As Zhang Hao approached the entrance to the Lotus Pavilion, he was stopped by several men in black.
Unfortunately, Luo Ning's cries for help could be heard from inside just then.
"Damn it!" Zhang Hao was enraged, Luo Ning was the woman he had set his sights on. Although she hadn't divorced Mo Han yet, if another man got there first, wouldn't all his efforts in the past month be in vain?
He quickly dashed inside, but the men in black at the door were not just for show, and they quickly knocked Zhang Hao to the ground.
"Damn it! Dare to hit me? Do you know who I am?" Zhang Hao stood up, pointed at the men in black, and said, "I am Zhang Hao of Zhang's Manufacturing!"
Slap!
A slap flew over. The lead man in black said arrogantly, "Zhang's Manufacturing counts for what? Do you know who's inside?"
"Inside is our Young Master Cao of Yunwei Real Estate Group!"
"If you don't want trouble, get the hell out of here right now!"
Yunwei Real Estate?
Zhang Hao's heart skipped a beat, Zhang's Manufacturing might have some money, but it was indeed nothing compared to the billion-dollar Yunwei Real Estate Group.
Now, he was torn.
Listening to the noise inside, Luo Ning was definitely in trouble.
If he didn't save her, his beloved Luo Ning would surely be desecrated by Young Master Cao.
But if he did, not to mention whether he was capable of doing so, he would face retaliation from the Yunwei Group afterwards.
"Get out!"
The man in black had no patience and raised his fist to strike again.
Zhang Hao immediately panicked and ran out of the corridor without a second thought.
…
At this time, Mo Han had just put his daughter to sleep, was doing housework at home, when he suddenly received a text message from his wife.
"Save me, Emerald Bright Pavilion Hotel, Lotus Pavilion."
Upon reading the message, Mo Han's eyes turned red, and veins popped all over his body.
He sprinted down from the fifth floor and rode his electric bike furiously towards the Emerald Bright Pavilion Hotel.
Fortunately, the Emerald Bright Pavilion Hotel wasn't far from the Luo Family home.
Seven minutes later, Mo Han, driven by fury, rushed into the lobby.
"Mo Han? What's this loser doing here? Could he be coming to save Ning'er?"
Outside the hall, upon seeing Mo Han, Zhang Hao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he scoffed with contempt, "Psh! If the scion of Zhang's Manufacturing couldn't save her, what could that loser do?"
