Chapter 156: Worse Than a Beast!

The coffee shop was packed with people.

Roughly half of them were just sheltering from the rain.

After purchasing cold medicine at the small pharmacy next door, Ling Qiu directly ordered two cups of hot cocoa and sat down nearby with his legs crossed, waiting.

Suddenly, a figure caught Ling Qiu's attention.

The figure was wearing a duck-tongue cap pulled down low, head drooping, and upon entering, scanned the surroundings as if searching for someone.

Ling Qiu narrowed his eyes.

This person...

Isn't that Cheng Gong?

That Cheng Qiang's father.

What is this guy... trying to do?

Ling Qiu pretended not to see him and continued looking down at his phone.

Before long, Cheng Gong's gaze shifted toward him, and upon quickly locking eyes with the queue number tag (69) on Ling Qiu's table, a sinister smile crept across his face.

None of this escaped Ling Qiu's sharp eyes.

Ling Qiu smiled inwardly. What kind of trick was this fellow trying to pull?

He decided to play along and see.

Thus, he continued to pretend he hadn't noticed.

Then Cheng Gong walked over to the cashier, ordered two cups of hot cocoa for himself, and pretended to wait for the coffee.

"Number 69's coffee is ready."

At that moment, a voice called out from the counter.

Cheng Gong suddenly jerked awake, and taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, he quickly sprinkled a powder into the two cups of hot cocoa he was holding.

His movements were relatively fast.

But...

Unfortunately for him, Ling Qiu saw the whole thing crystal clear.

Drugging drinks?

Ling Qiu lazily stood up and walked over. Thinking that Ling Qiu didn't recognize him, Cheng Gong simply continued to stand by the counter, pretending to play with his phone.

Ling Qiu lowered his head and sniffed the two cups of hot cocoa in his possession. If he guessed correctly... these probably contained a heavy dose of aphrodisiac!

He narrowed his eyes, roughly guessing the other party's scheme.

Right at that moment, the coffee Cheng Gong had ordered was also prepared.

And so...

Ling Qiu turned the tables on him. With a speed so incredible that ordinary human eyes couldn't even perceive it, he swapped his own two cups of drugged hot cocoa with Cheng Gong's two cups!

Honestly, Ling Qiu's speed was truly terrifying—so fast that it was completely imperceptible to the naked eye.

Even if Cheng Gong had been staring right at him, he wouldn't have been able to tell his coffee had been switched!

Having finished that, Ling Qiu left with the two cups of pure hot cocoa.

"Hehe..."

Seeing Ling Qiu leave, Cheng Gong casually took a sip from the cup right beside him—the one switched by Ling Qiu containing the aphrodisiac—and thought to himself, "With a drug this potent, I refuse to believe you won't make a mess of things tonight! Besides, Qin Siyao is a woman Wu Hantao explicitly declared he would win over... Let's see how you die tonight!!"

With that, Cheng Gong gulped down another mouthful of coffee. It was so scalding hot that it made him smack his lips, but no matter how much his tongue burned, his heart felt thrilled!

***

Cheng Gong carried the two cups of coffee out of the coffee shop and returned to the car.

"Dad! Is it done?"

"Done!"

Cheng Gong said, "To ensure nothing goes wrong, let's go confirm it!"

"How do we confirm?"

"Get a room right next to theirs!"

"Haha, thrilling!"

...

Hotel, room.

Ling Qiu placed the cold medicine and the hot cocoa on the bedside table.

At this moment...

Qin Siyao had already taken a shower and was sitting on the bed watching TV in her bathrobe, occasionally sneezing and wiping her nose.

Ling Qiu smiled. "Drink the cold medicine first."

Surprisingly, Qin Siyao obediently nodded, cupping the hot cocoa in her hands, inhaling the steaming warmth deeply, and prepared to drink.

Ling Qiu suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid I drugged it?"

Qin Siyao curled her lips. "You? Drugged it? ... What? Are you hoping to sleep with me or something..."

It was just a casual joke, and Qin Siyao hadn't meant it seriously. But just as she raised her head to drink, she happened to catch Ling Qiu's somewhat enigmatic gaze, causing her heart to skip a beat. "You... you didn't actually... drug... it, did you?"

Ling Qiu teased with a half-smile, "Afraid I'll eat you up?"

Instead, Qin Siyao proudly raised her chin. "Hmph! Even if you were given a hundred guts, you wouldn't dare!"

With that, Qin Siyao tilted her head back and drank directly.

This sight brought a faint smile to Ling Qiu's face.

Though this young lady talked tough, the fact that she actually drank it demonstrated trust.

After spending time together, Qin Siyao was starting to grow on him.

"Dad..."

"Shh! Keep it down!"

At that very moment, Ling Qiu suddenly heard voices speaking from the next room! The sound was very faint, and Qin Siyao couldn't hear it, but Ling Qiu caught it with absolute clarity!

Ling Qiu recognized the voices of this father and son duo. It was one hundred percent Cheng Gong and Cheng Qiang!

These two scumbags were truly like ghosts that wouldn't quit; they had actually followed them to the adjacent room?

Ling Qiu pricked up his ears, curious to find out what plot these two were hatching.

"Dad... I pressed my ear against the wall for so long... why is there no movement next door? Are you sure the drug got into their coffee?"

"Definitely. Just wait a bit; the medicine needs some time to take effect!"

"Alright, alright! Once the drug kicks in, we'll send those photos of Ling Qiu carrying Qin Siyao into the hotel—the ones we took outside earlier—to Wu Hantao! Then send him the room number! I refuse to believe he won't fly into a rage!"

"Hehe, given Wu Hantao's temperament... once this fire of fury ignites, even if Ling Qiu doesn't die, he'll lose a layer of skin!!"

"Son, hand me my cup of coffee. — Huh? You finished mine too?"

"Hehe, I was a bit thirsty."

"I only drank half of mine... Oh well, you brat, drinking that much coffee, aren't you afraid of suffering from insomnia tonight?"

"Hehe! On a night this thrilling and explosive, I'd have insomnia even without coffee!"

Hearing this, Ling Qiu narrowed his eyes. At that moment, he finally understood what cunning scheme these father and son were playing!

Ling Qiu smiled, a sudden whimsical idea springing up in his mind.

"Qin Siyao."

Ling Qiu suddenly turned his head and asked with a deadpan, serious expression, "Can you moan seductively?"

"Cough, cough!..."

Qin Siyao almost choked to death, coughing repeatedly as her face turned beet red. "What... what did you just say?"

"I said, can you moan seductively?"

Ling Qiu paused, then added, "You know, groaning, bed-creaking noises. You're old enough, don't tell me you don't know what that is?"

"You!!..."

Qin Siyao's cheeks flushed brilliantly, burning red like blooming flowers. "Damn Ling Qiu... Do you think that just because I've been nicer to you lately, you can..."

Ling Qiu clicked his tongue, too lazy to argue further. He simply strode forward and pulled Qin Siyao into a tight embrace.

"Ah! What... what are you suddenly hugging me for?"

Qin Siyao's mind went blank. Could it be... was Ling Qiu... genuinely plotting against her body after all??

Realizing this, Qin Siyao bit her red lips and began to tremble all over slightly...

Come to think of it...

Today, Ling Qiu had first caught a glimpse of the scenery beneath her skirt... and then had such intimate contact with her. Truth be told, she was quite confident in her own charm...

Now it seemed...

If Ling Qiu couldn't hold back anymore, it was only natural.

Realizing this, Qin Siyao actually lost most of her negative emotions. Instead, a deeply unspeakable sense of reassurance and pride welled up in her heart...

Hmph!

Weren't you always acting so arrogant and aloof, Ling Qiu...

Hmph, see? You still ended up conquered by this young lady's charm...

However...

Just as Qin Siyao anticipated that Ling Qiu would hold her tight and plant a domineering kiss...

She suddenly felt her entire body being flipped over by Ling Qiu, followed immediately by a raised hand...

*Slap!*

A crisp, resounding smack landed squarely on her backside!

"Ah!~"

Qin Siyao let out a tantalizing cry.

And this cry instantly and clearly traveled through the wall into the next room!

Ling Qiu twitched his ears, clearly hearing the reaction from next door.

"Holy shit! Haha! It's starting, it's starting! This is explosive!!... Quick, quick, notify Wu Hantao!"
