Wang Jingfei turned on the wall lamp in her hotel room, creating a cozy ambiance. Following Mr. Song's instructions, she quickly accessed Chen Ran's computer. As she scrolled through the screens, various pornographic images flashed by, and she cursed silently, "Hypocrite!"
Moving the mouse, she opened a file that read: "Heilongjiang Lianchi Pharmaceutical Factory." Her attention sharpened as the file displayed: "RH New Drug Formula." Continuing to browse, the screen showed "Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group R&D Department" and then a series of complex chemical formulas.
Wang Jingfei's eyes lit up with excitement, realizing she had found the evidence she needed. Unable to contain herself, she clapped her hands in delight.
Meanwhile, Tietzu and Yang Chun were still drinking. Yang Chun glanced upstairs and said, "Brother Tietzu, too much alcohol can cause trouble."
Tietzu, his face flushed purple, shook his head, "You don't understand me. I can't do anything without alcohol! Especially that kind of thing!"
They clinked their glasses. To stay sober, Yang Chun secretly poured some of his drink onto the floor. Tietzu wiped his mouth, "I know you're eager. This beautiful dish is hard to destroy." He stood up, "Alright, I'll go first, you wait patiently!"
Yang Chun, equally excited, stood up and sharpened a knife on his sleeve. "I need her heart and liver to avenge my brother!"
Tietzu, despite his drunkenness, asked, "Will killing her really return the Haizhou market to you?"
Yang Chun replied confidently, "Don't worry, Brother Tietzu, it will!"
Tietzu hiccuped, "Then I'm relieved."
Yang Chun asked, "Where are you going to do it, Brother Tietzu?"
"You want to watch? That's not allowed!" Tietzu pointed upstairs, "I have a secret room where I open the packages of all my good stuff!" He staggered up the stairs.
Unexpectedly, Yang Chun felt a twinge of jealousy. Tietzu reached the second floor, groping towards his so-called secret room, which was actually just a regular room with a large bed in the center. Liu Mei was handcuffed to the bed's railing, a cloth stuffed in her mouth. Drunk, Tietzu fumbled with the keys and finally unlocked the handcuffs. Liu Mei's first act was to quickly remove the cloth from her mouth. Before she could react further, Tietzu pounced on her, tearing at her clothes. Liu Mei, maintaining her composure, said, "Boss Tietzu, I'm already at your mercy. No need to rush."
Tietzu paused, finding her reasoning sound.
Regaining her courage, Liu Mei's eyes sparkled, "Savoring slowly brings out the flavor. Gulping down will choke you."
Tietzu's bloodshot eyes narrowed, "How do you suggest savoring slowly?"
Liu Mei propped herself up against the headboard, "Let's chat and build some rapport first. That way, the experience will be more fulfilling and enchanting."
Tietzu snorted, "City women always have tricks. I'm like an iron bucket; you can't escape! Alright, let's chat. See if you can come up with something fresh."
Liu Mei smiled sweetly, "Boss Tietzu, isn't money a good thing?"
Tietzu glared, "Of course! Without money, there's no house, no car, no wine, no women, and no one listens to me. Money is a great thing!"
Liu Mei continued, "As a businessman, you wouldn't miss the chance to make big money, right?"
"Enough with the nonsense! It's boring. Let's get to the real thing." Tietzu grabbed Liu Mei. "Big money is right in front of you. Don't you want it?" Liu Mei gently patted his face.
Tietzu looked around, "Where?"
Liu Mei pointed to herself, "Right here."
Tietzu steadied himself, "Yang Chun said you're a fox spirit who tricked his brother out of his money and life. Don't play tricks with me!"
Liu Mei raised an eyebrow, "You believe Yang Chun?"
"Their family and I have a five-year relationship. They're my big clients. No one can break our bond," Tietzu said firmly.
"True, he was a big client," Liu Mei admitted, "but now he's a penniless stray dog!"
Tietzu shook his head, "He said he could reclaim the Haizhou market."
Liu Mei said slowly, "The Haizhou market is in my hands now!"
"Why should I believe you?" Tietzu eyed her suspiciously.
Liu Mei took out a bank draft from her pocket, "This is a 500,000 RMB bank draft, just as a deposit."
Tietzu reached for it, "Let me see."
Liu Mei hesitated but handed it over. She had no other choice; this was her last protection.
Tietzu examined the numbers, then held it up to the light to check the watermark. Finally, he put the draft in his wallet. "Well? No problems, right?" Liu Mei asked, trying to move away.
"Problems? I don't care if there are problems. The money is in my hands now. I'll have my fun first!" He lunged at Liu Mei.
Liu Mei screamed, "You bastard!"
Tietzu laughed, "Scream all you want. I like it. The more you scream, the better!" Liu Mei's heart raced, and she screamed louder, "You scoundrel! You filthy scoundrel—"
Tietzu tore off her bra, laughing, "We're both scoundrels. Only scoundrels end up together." Liu Mei tried to cover herself and struggled with all her strength. Whether due to alcohol or the sight of her half-exposed breasts, Tietzu lost all reason, like a bull charging blindly. This was a battle of unequal strength. Soon, the exhausted Liu Mei lay beneath him, helpless. Resigned to her fate, she closed her eyes in despair.
Suddenly, the window shattered, and a figure burst in, showered in glass shards. The dark muzzle of a gun pressed against Tietzu's fat, wrinkled neck.
Liu Mei opened her eyes in shock and joy, "Xiaoliang!"
Yang Chun, growing impatient, fiddled with his boning knife. After a while, still hearing no movement from upstairs, he threw down the knife, stood up, and yelled, "Brother Tietzu, are you done yet?" No response.
He started towards the stairs but was blocked by two burly men. Frustrated, he returned to the table, muttering, "Damn it! He enjoys himself while leaving me here alone!" He poured a bowl of wine, lifted it to his lips, and downed it in one gulp.
