Chapter 158 Stop right there!

"Ling Qiu?"

Qin Siyao was about to press the issue further, but seeing Ling Qiu suddenly stand up, she couldn't help saying, "You... you aren't thinking of running away, are you?"

Ling Qiu chuckled, turned his head to glance at her, and said, "I've bought the dress for you. Put on the new clothes, and we'll change rooms in a moment."

"Huh?"

Qin Siyao was taken aback.

Before she could dwell on it, Ling Qiu had already walked out of the room.

Ling Qiu went to the adjacent room, used his internal energy to pop the lock, and walked inside.

Instantly, a nauseating sight met his eyes.

Just as he expected, the occupants of this room were the father and son, Cheng Gong and Cheng Qiang.

The two of them at this moment...

Were actually embracing each other, stripping off one another's clothes...

"Ah... so hot..."

"Ah... hold me..."

"Ah... I can't take it anymore... so itchy, so itchy..."

"Mmph..."

Ling Qiu: ...

Honestly, even with his rock-solid mental fortitude, he felt an overwhelming wave of nausea right now.

Ling Qiu stepped forward, grabbed both of them by their hair with each hand, and dragged them out of the room raw.

Yet...

Even while being dragged by their hair, the father and son were still passionately entangling with each other...

Unable to separate at all...

Just how potent was the drug the Cheng family duo had taken... to make them this delirious?

Resisting his utter disgust, Ling Qiu dragged the two all the way into his own room.

Once dragged inside, Qin Siyao was stunned at the sight, and then almost dry-heaved from disgust...

Fighting down her queasiness with a pale face, she said, "Aren't these... Cheng Gong and Cheng Qiang? They..."

Ling Qiu didn't waste words and directly said to Qin Siyao, "Didn't I just tell you to change your clothes so we could switch rooms?"

"Uh... Oh, okay!"

Qin Siyao was never a fool. Regardless of her previous mood or emotions, seeing this situation now made her instantly realize that things were far from simple...

Thinking carefully, some of Ling Qiu's actions earlier had been quite absurd, with no discernible motive, making them rather baffling.

Looking at it now...

Perhaps Ling Qiu had been plotting something else entirely?

Without hesitation, Qin Siyao took the new dress and, wearing her bathrobe, went into the bathroom to change.

When she stepped out of the bathroom, father and son Cheng Gong and Cheng Qiang had already been tossed onto the bed by Ling Qiu, who had wrapped them tightly in a thick quilt, tucking the edges firmly beneath the mattress.

At least this way...

Out of sight, out of mind...

All that could be seen beneath the wide white quilt were two maggot-like, repulsive creatures writhing disgustingly against each other... completely unaware of what they were doing beneath the covers...

"Let's go."

Ling Qiu dropped those words, and Qin Siyao obediently followed, gathering her things as she left.

...

Meanwhile.

Outside the hotel.

A black Porsche SUV pulled to a stop.

Wu Hantao pondered for a long time, but ultimately did not step out of the car.

"Young Master... How... how should this matter be handled?"

His subordinate couldn't help asking.

Wu Hantao frowned deeply for a long time. Gazing out the car window at the numerous bystanders, he decided it wasn't appropriate for him to show his face rashly.

After a moment of thought, he instructed, "Make a call, send Ah Fei and the others into action, and drag those two good-for-nothing adulterers right back!"

Understanding instantly, the subordinate took out his phone: "Understood!"

With a darkened expression, Wu Hantao waved his hand: "Once they capture them, bring them to the old warehouse in the eastern suburbs!"

With those orders given, the black Porsche slowly drove away.

About seven or eight minutes later...

A white van appeared, and five or six men stepped out, their eyes fierce and ruthless. The leader dialed a phone number: "Hey, tell the Young Master we've arrived! Barring any accidents, we will definitely reach the old warehouse in the eastern suburbs within the hour!"

Clack. Hanging up the phone, the five or six men strode quickly toward the hotel entrance.

...

At this moment.

Ling Qiu and Qin Siyao had long since arrived in the hotel lobby.

In a relatively secluded corner, Ling Qiu recounted the whole story to Qin Siyao.

After listening, Qin Siyao drew a sharp breath.

So...

It was this Cheng family father and son... who were so insidious and vicious!

And they had actually resorted to the tactic of killing with a borrowed knife!!

If Wu Hantao truly lost his temper, he might actually commit murder!!

Furthermore...

If their plan had succeeded... then tonight, her, Qin Siyao's, chastity... would have been completely gone!

Though... if the target was Ling Qiu, she supposed she could accept it, but...

Just thinking to this point, Qin Siyao's breath hitched, her mind buzzed, and her face flushed crimson in an instant!

Oh dear!

What does "if the target was Ling Qiu, she could accept it" even mean?!

Qin Siyao, Oh, Qin Siyao!!

What on earth are you thinking about in that head of yours???

"..."

Watching Qin Siyao's face cycle through shades of white and red for a long time, Ling Qiu finally couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking about?"

Qin Siyao opened her mouth to speak, but noticed Ling Qiu's gaze sharpen slightly as he looked toward the entrance.

Subconsciously, Qin Siyao turned her head to look...

And spotted five or six ferocious-looking men walking briskly toward the elevators.

Ling Qiu narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly: "Wu Hantao's men are here."

Qin Siyao took a deep breath: "Ling Qiu, let's leave this place of trouble first..."

"Why leave?"

Ling Qiu yawned. "It's so late, and it's raining outside; we're not going anywhere. Let this bunch finish making a fuss, and then we'll check into a new room to rest. We'll set off tomorrow."

Qin Siyao furrowed her delicate brows slightly, instinctively wanting to object, but second-guessed herself and let it go...

She looked deeply at Ling Qiu with a gaze full of intrigue...

From what point onward...

Had she suddenly realized...

That she had misunderstood Ling Qiu somewhat deeply before...

This man wasn't acting bizarrely or throwing tantrums at all...

Beneath Ling Qiu's unconventional and unpredictable demeanor... seemed to hide a heart that ordinary people could never fathom, along with an imperceptible, profound unfathomability...

As if everything... was entirely within his grasp.

As Qin Siyao thought this, she touched her ear and suddenly froze: "Oh dear."

"What's wrong?"

"I... my earring is missing."

Qin Siyao pointed to her dainty little ear. "Most likely... I left it under the pillow..."

Ling Qiu asked, "Is it very precious? Or should I go retrieve it for you?"

"Hey! Don't you dare~"

Hearing this, Qin Siyao hurriedly pressed both hands onto Ling Qiu's legs. In her haste, she accidentally pressed a bit higher up his thighs, almost...

Qin Siyao's face instantly blushed red. She quickly retracted her hands, gave a light cough, and said, "I mean... it's too dangerous... there's no need. Although that earring wasn't cheap, it doesn't hold any special meaning. If it's gone, it's gone... I don't want to put you in danger just for an earring~"

As she spoke, noticing Ling Qiu looking at her with a gentle smile, a double flush of crimson bloomed across her cheeks again: "You... don't misunderstand... I'm not worrying about you at all... I just think... my grandfather thinks quite highly of you... If something really happened to you, it wouldn't look good for me when I go back..."

...

Meanwhile.

In the upstairs room.

Ah Fei and several subordinates stood near the window, looking down at the two unknown biological entities writhing ceaselessly beneath the wide quilt...

And occasionally emitting sounds like...

"Mmm!~ Ah!~ Ooh!~ Sss!~"

Any normal person would know what was happening beneath that quilt...

"Boss, what should we do?"

Ah Fei frowned upon hearing this. "The woman inside was once the beloved woman of the Young Master... As his subordinates, we don't know how the Young Master plans to deal with this next... Maybe she'll be the future Young Mistress... We dare not look at things we shouldn't see..."

"Then... we can't just do nothing, right?"

After a moment of contemplation, Ah Fei clapped his hands: "I've got it! We just need to take them away anyway! Let's wrap them up together with the quilt and roll them all up inside! That way, we won't see anything we shouldn't!"

"Haha! As expected of our boss, brilliant and wise!! What a move! Simply brilliant!"
