Chapter 22 - CHAPTER 22: A SET UP

Jiang Jian received a text from Ah Zhong telling him that there would be a meeting in a hotel with a client. He trusted Ah Zhong, so he didn't think too much about it.

He entered the room; a waiter came in and served him water. His throat was parched, so he drank a mouthful.

Suddenly, his face turned red.

A girl's voice could be heard coming out of the bathroom.

A naked girl emerged, hugging him and clinging onto him.

He pushed her away.

"Something was in that water," he thought to himself.

He attempted to open the door, but it seemed locked from the outside.

The girl spoke seductively, "Jian, let me please you."

Jiang Jian's eyes narrowed.

He pushed her away and threw the bed's duvet over her body.

His body started to react.

He swiftly entered the bathroom, locked the door, and took a shower multiple times.

Trying to wash away.

The drugs' influence.

And the unwanted desire.

His mind raced.

He knew who was behind it.

Ling Wei waited anxiously at home.

Jiang Jian's tardiness stirred unease.

She called Ah Zhong, but he didn't answer.

"Something's wrong," she thought.

Grabbing the car keys, she rushed to the office.

Ah Zhong's worried face confirmed her fears.

"Master Jian is missing."

Ling Wei's world froze.

A shout pierced the air.

"I found his location!"

She seized the opportunity.

Racing to the hotel, her heart pounded.

Heavy guards blocked the room.

Undeterred, she sought an alternate route.

Balcony to balcony, she jumped.

Reaching the fourth floor, she entered.

A naked girl occupied the room.

Ling Wei's eyes scanned.

"Who are you?" she demanded.

Jiang Jian emerged from the bathroom.

Hair wet, face flushed.

Relief washed over Ling Wei.

No signs of betrayal.

She trusted him.

Seizing the girl's arm.

Twisting it.

The girl shrieked.

Guards rushed in.

Ling Wei dragged her to the door.

Shoved her outside.

Locked the door.
