A strange scent quickly enveloped me, and the prickly short hair on top constantly rubbed against my neck.
My scream reached my lips, but was smothered by the man. I struggled furiously but still couldn't break free from his control.
"Ha! Delivered right to my door and still playing coy?" The mocking and rogue voice rang out.
I bit down hard on his somewhat sweaty palm.
"Ah!" A cry of pain escaped the man's mouth, followed by a fierce slap to my face, which left me seeing stars and filled my mouth with the taste of blood.
I turned my head away and saw a fierce-looking man in his thirties or forties, with a scar at the corner of his mouth.
Gu Tingshen had described Chen Tao's appearance to me, his most distinctive mark being the scar at the corner of his mouth, shaped like a coin.
"Let me go!" I snapped coldly.
Far from letting go, Chen Tao burst into a twisted smile, "You're a piece of work, pretending to be all high and mighty? Two grand is plenty, don't get greedy."
