Chapter 297 - 295: Addiction Acts Up Again

Soon, Xu Yue felt a faint, familiar yet foreign heat rising deep in her lower abdomen. Her fingers unconsciously gripped the edge of the table, and her mouth felt dry.

"President Xu, what’s wrong? Did you drink too fast?" Chen Junhao tilted his head slightly. His gaze swept over her flushed cheeks as the smile at the corners of his mouth deepened.

Xu Yue shook her head and leaned against the table to stand up. "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom."

She hurried into the private room’s en-suite restroom, locked the door behind her, and leaned heavily against the cold tiled wall, gasping for air. The heat was far more intense than she had anticipated. Soon, her legs grew weak, and her mind began to cloud.

Realizing that something was very wrong, she took a deep breath, used her last ounce of clarity to fish her phone out of her bag, and dialed Yang Xun’s number.

Meanwhile, Yang Xun was giving Lin Yingqiu a massage. As a rule, he didn’t take clients at night, but Lin Yingqiu was a VIP. Since she couldn’t make her last appointment, he had accommodated her this evening. She had booked a full-body massage today, which took longer than usual.

"Lin, this is our newly released Ninghua Cream. Give it a try." Yang Xun handed her a sample while continuing to massage her.

Taking the bottle, Lin Yingqiu opened it, took a sniff, and tentatively rubbed a little on the back of her hand. The results were unexpectedly good. Pleasantly surprised, she immediately wanted to buy a few bottles to gift to her close friends. Unfortunately, Yang Xun only had the last two full-sized bottles left on hand. Though slightly disappointed, she readily paid for them.

Right after seeing Lin Yingqiu out and tidying up the massage bed, Yang Xun received Xu Yue’s call.

"Yang Xun..." Her voice trembled. "My addiction seems to be acting up again. My body is so hot, and my skirt is soaked."

"Don’t worry. Where are you? I’ll come find you right away."

"I’m at Emperor Club. I came here to discuss an investment." Her consciousness was slipping further away; she felt so hot she was practically melting.

"Don’t hang up. Let’s stay on the line. I’m heading over right now." As he spoke, Yang Xun sprinted out of the spa.

He had promised Xu Qian he would do a live stream tonight, but now he had no choice but to stand her up. He hailed a taxi, gave the driver the address for Emperor Club, and pulled a banknote from his pocket to hand over. "Driver, please get there as fast as you can."

The driver glanced at the hundred-yuan bill and slammed on the gas pedal without a word. The taxi wove left and right through the evening rush hour traffic, drawing several impatient honks, but the driver was clearly a veteran, turning the steering wheel with steady, aggressive precision.

Sitting in the back seat, Yang Xun rested his clenched fists on his knees, his brows slightly furrowed. He knew all about Xu Yue’s addiction. Even if she was having a relapse, it shouldn’t cause her to lose her mind.

"Yang Xun, I’m so dizzy. Am I going to die?" Xu Yue’s voice was laced with a sob; she was genuinely terrified.

"You won’t. Something isn’t right about your current state. I suspect someone drugged you."

"What? How could that be?" Her mind was still in a daze, having assumed all along that it was just her condition acting up.

Yang Xun continued to comfort her, his heart pounding wildly in his chest. He could hear her breathing growing increasingly rapid over the line, mixed with the faint sound of approaching footsteps and a man’s voice.

"President Xu, you’ve been alone in the restroom for almost ten minutes. Isn’t it time you came out?"

The voice carried a half-smiling tone. Though it was somewhat muffled through the phone, its slimy inflection made Yang Xun’s eyes turn cold. He lowered his voice into the phone, "Xu Yue, don’t open the door. I’m almost there."

Xu Yue gave a vague murmur of acknowledgment. Her heavy breathing transmitted through the receiver, making it obvious that her consciousness was fading.

Outside the door, Chen Junhao had lost his patience. He pounded forcefully on the restroom door. "Xu Yue, get out here! Don’t you want the investment? What’s the meaning of hiding in there?" Dropping his facade, his tone turned incredibly rude.

Panting, Xu Yue gritted her teeth and said, "You... you drugged me. What do you want?"

"Heh! Isn’t it obvious what I want? I want to fuck you!" Chen Junhao snickered, and the other men around him burst into laughter.

"President Xu, you’re truly gorgeous. Even though you’re married, you still look so pure—just like a virgin.

"I love your type. You’ve got an hourglass figure, yet you give off such an innocent vibe. As long as you submit to me and show me a good time, the investment won’t be a problem at all.

"I’ve heard your company’s capital chain is on the verge of breaking. If you refuse to give me face, not only will I withhold the investment, but I’ll also suppress the Xu Family. Sooner or later, the Xu Family will go bankrupt.

"Think it over carefully. Do you want to remain the high-and-mighty President Xu, or do you want to end up working as a bar girl just to make a living after you go bankrupt?"

As Chen Junhao rambled on, Xu Yue felt increasingly dizzy, though she still retained a shred of sanity. "I will never compromise. Don’t even think about it," she said through gritted teeth.

"Fuck! Xu Yue, don’t push your luck! Open the damn door!" Chen Junhao roared in exasperation. "Let me tell you the truth: I paid a premium for the drug in your drink. Tonight, you’ll completely lose your mind and turn into a total slut. You’ll be begging me to sleep with you in a minute."

When had he ever been humiliated like this? Turning his head, he spotted a female secretary standing nearby. He immediately grabbed her and slammed her against the door.

"Ah! Let go of me!" Zhou Miao shrieked, her entire body trembling in terror.

"Xu Yue, I’m telling you, if you don’t come out, I’m going to rape this little chick right here and now!"

"President Xu, save me! SOB SOB..." Zhou Miao was pale with fright, crying softly.

Hearing her cries, Xu Yue instantly regained a bit of clarity and yelled, "Chen Junhao, don’t you touch her!"

"Then come out and let me have my fun! Once I’m satisfied, I naturally won’t touch a plain, boring woman like her," Chen Junhao laughed smugly.

Seeing that Xu Yue was still delaying, he violently ripped Zhou Miao’s clothes open.

RIIIIP!

"Ah! No!"

Hearing Zhou Miao’s struggles and cries for help, Xu Yue could no longer hide inside. Resigning to her fate, she opened the door. Her cheeks were flushed red, and she had to lean against the wall just to stand firm. Panting, she said, "Chen Junhao, don’t do anything stupid. As long as you let us go, I won’t hold you accountable for what happened today."

"Damn it! You finally came out." Gritting his teeth, Chen Junhao shoved Zhou Miao aside, grabbed Xu Yue by the wrist, and dragged her toward the nearby sofa.

Xu Yue struggled with all her might, continuously crying out for help into her phone. Noticing that the screen was lit, Chen Junhao snatched the device from her and smashed it ruthlessly against the floor.

"Do you think I’m afraid of you holding me accountable?

"I’ve slept with plenty of women using investment as bait. Some were fierce prudes just like you, but after giving them a little benefit afterward, they all pretended nothing ever happened.

"Some women even fight to get into my bed. You might be acting tough now, but once you get a taste of my prowess and receive a massive investment, you won’t care that I drugged and forced you!"

Chen Junhao let out a sleazy chuckle and lowered his head to kiss Xu Yue.
