The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness

41 Saving Su Tang

The ultimate goal of the mastermind was Yi Zheng. Shi Man was just implicated.

She held her breath and focused, but she could not find the aura of a third person on this floor.

“Find Su Tang first.” Shi Man cursed in her heart. She resisted the desire that was about to devour her entire body and took a deep breath into the darkness.

Behind her, Yi Zheng stared at the girl’s delicate back without moving. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he suddenly opened his thin lips. “Don’t you know where Su Tang is?”

Shi Man’s limp body suddenly paused. She turned around and said impatiently, “Young Master Yi, do you mean that I am responsible for this?”

“Other than you, I can’t think of anyone else.” Yi Zheng’s dark eyes stared at her, not letting go of the expression on her face.

Actually, he did not doubt Shi Man in his heart. He only said this to test if she had really given up on him.

The effect of the aphrodisiac was taking effect. The reason why he was still so calm and he had not lost his mind was because of the strange illness he had contracted.

Every time Yi Zheng’s illness acted up, his entire body seemed to be bathed in magma. Every capillary was screaming in pain. To him, the burning sensation of the aphrodisiac could be easily suppressed without even frowning.

Shi Man looked at Yi Zheng expressionlessly without any goodwill in her eyes. “Young Master Yi, you’re really forgetful. I’ve already said it the last time. In the future, we’ll go our separate ways. What reason do I have to drug you?”

Yi Zheng couldn’t help but frown when he heard the same answer from her again. A strange sense of frustration suddenly ran through his body.

His face tightened as he walked out of the moonlight coldly and threw himself into the endless darkness. “Got it.”

“Let me remind you out of kindness. The mastermind’s goal this time shouldn’t be just you. I’m afraid he also wants to test your relationship with Su Tang.” Shi Man moved away from him unintentionally; there was a meter between the two of them.

She reminded him not because she was kind, but because she wanted the man beside her to pay attention to Su Tang as soon as possible, lest he suspected that she had evil intentions. As long as he fell in love with the female protagonist, she could escape the ending of her family being ruined.

Cassel Academy was indeed a top school in the hearts of the upper-class families. The library was built like a glorious palace. Not to mention the complicated layout, it would probably take half a day to tour this library based on its size.

The two of them went from the first floor to the third floor without saying a word. During this period, Yi Zheng deliberately paid attention to the girl’s aura beside him, but he realized that even though she was drugged, she did not show any signs of instability. Other than occasionally seeing her flushed face when she stepped into the moonlight, he almost forgot that she was drugged.

He almost blurted out the words he wanted to ask her about her health, but he swallowed them back. Yi Zheng pursed his thin lips even more tightly, and the aura around him was intimidating.

Shi Man sensed the change in the mentality of the person beside her and thought that he was gloomy because he could not find the female lead. She could not help but restrain herself.

She also wanted to find Su Tang as soon as possible so that she could go home and remove the aphrodisiac from her body. Otherwise, she would probably skin Yi Zheng alive if she really couldn’t control herself later.

Time slipped through her fingers. It was already late at night outside.

There was finally a trace of weak breathing in the silent library. Shi Man reacted extremely quickly and was the first to follow the aura to find Su Tang, who had been thrown into a corner.

When Su Tang saw her, her desperate eyes lit up, and tears flowed unknowingly. “Manman, I knew you would definitely save me.”

In the darkness, a figure moved slightly. Su Tang looked up and saw the man who had appeared for some reason. For a moment, she forgot to cry and stared blankly at his cold face.

“Who did this?” Shi Man did not waste her breath. Her eyes swept across her entire body and she heaved a sigh of relief when she did not see any substantial harm. If Su Tang was inexplicably tainted here, then her plot with the male protagonist would probably not develop well.

“I don’t know either. I didn’t see it clearly. I’m sorry. I’ve implicated you.” Su Tang lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake and apologized with tears in her eyes.

Shi Man did not expect to get any information from her. After helping her up from the ground, she pushed her into the arms of the man standing behind her.
