  “Don’t…don’t kill me!”

  At that moment, Liu Jiawei was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.

  Tang Hao smirked. He grabbed the back of Liu Jiawei’s head and slammed it onto the floor.

  Liu Jiawei cried out in agony. His nose was crooked and his face was swollen. It was a pathetic sight.

  Meanwhile, Zhang Qi was cowering at a corner next to the wall, her face ghastly pale.

  Tang Hao pulled Liu Jiawei’s hair and lifted his head. He was going to slam his face into the floor again when he heard frantic footsteps from the corridor. Soon, the receptionist and several other people rushed into the room.

  One of them looked like the shift supervisor, while the other two people were security guards.

  The people were shocked when they saw the scene in the room.

  The person who looked like the shift supervisor rushed toward Tang Hao and yelled, “Stop! What are you doing?”

  Liu Jiawei responded frantically. “Quick! Arrest him! He… He wants to kill me!”

  The shift supervisor’s face turned pale when he heard that. No matter what had actually happened, he had the duty to stop a potential murder from happening. It would be big trouble for everyone if someone died.

  “Hey, calm down. First, let him go. We can discuss if there’s anything,” the shift supervisor yelled. As he spoke, he gestured to the security guards next to him.

  Tang Hao smirked. He loosened his grip on Liu Jiawei and stood up.

  “I was only beating him up. How about you look at what he was trying to do?”

  The shift supervisor sighed with relief when he saw Tang Hao comply. Then, he scanned the room and furrowed his brows when he saw the young girl unconscious on the bed.

  “Don’t… Don’t listen to him!”

  Liu Jiawei scrambled to his feet while keeping a distance from Tang Hao. Then, he picked up his clothes and wore them. “He’s framing me. She and I used to be classmates. I won’t do that sort of thing to her,” he argued.

  “I was only accompanying her to the room. We were singing at a KTV center earlier and she said that she felt unwell. That’s why I booked a room for her to rest.

  “If you don’t believe me, you can ask her!”

  Liu Jiawei pointed at Zhang Qi at a corner of the room.

  “He’s right. We only wanted to send her here to rest,” Zhang Qi said, “He took off his clothes because he and I were preparing to… but that guy suddenly barged in.”

  “Did you hear that? I told you that this guy is framing me. Quick, arrest him! His name is Tang Hao, and he’s a poor loser. He is a perverted and depraved person. He must be envious of me, so that’s why he’s framing me.

  “Oh, and he wanted to blackmail me. He asked me to give him a hundred thousand yuan. I didn’t agree with it, so he started beating me. As you can see, he wanted to kill me too!” Liu Jiawei roared savagely.

  Tang Hao rolled his eyes when he heard that. ‘This Liu Jiawei really knows how to twist the truth,’ he thought.

  Meanwhile, the shift supervisor was caught in a dilemma. He did not know who to believe.

  At first glance, the situation indeed looked like a rape scene. However, the girl on the bed still had her clothes intact, and therefore there was no proof that it was actually rape.

  “I should just call the police!” The shift supervisor left the room and did so.

  “Hmph! You have balls for beating me, Tang Hao! If you’re not dead after this, my surname won’t be Liu! How dare a low-class piece of trash like you dare stand up to me!” Liu Jiawei smiled wickedly.

  After that, he pulled Zhang Qi over and exchanged whispers with her.

  Their voices were very soft, though Tang Hao could hear it all clearly. Naturally, they were colluding to provide a false statement.

  Then, Liu Jiawei gave a call home.

  Tang Hao smirked. He was not in a hurry since the girl was saved. He would like to see Liu Jiawei worm his way out of the situation.

  He scanned the room and noticed the video camera on the floor.

  He inched over, and without leaving a trace, swept it into his pocket dimension.

  Then, he came to the bedside and looked at the young girl who was lying unconscious on the bed.

  Her breathing was steady. She was asleep.

  Tang Hao pondered over the situation. He then bent over and stretched out a hand.

  Liu Jiawei happened to see his gesture. He shouted frantically, “What do you think you’re doing, Tang Hao? Don’t touch Yaobing with your filthy hands! Hmph! I see that you’re a depraved, underhanded person. You want to take advantage of her while she’s asleep.”

  “Idiot!” Tang Hao muttered under his breath and ignored him. He stuck out a thumb and pressed on her philtrum. He gently massaged the spot and channeled a gust of qi over.

  “Stupid d*ck!” Liu Jiawei smirked.

  She was heavily drugged. She would not wake up for the next six to ten hours.

  Soon after, he was stunned. The girl moaned softly, then stirred and gradually woke up.

  “How could this be?” Liu Jiawei’s mouth was agape from shock.

  Liu Bingyao gradually came to her senses. She opened her eyes and was shocked to see Tang Hao.

  “Tang Hao?”

  She shouted. She slowly pushed her body from the bed and looked around her. “Where… Where am I? Why are you here, Liu Jiawei?

  “Zhang Qi, why am I here?”

  She sat up, her brows still tightly locked from discomfort.

  Zhang Qi said nothing and lowered her head, too ashamed to answer her friend’s questions.

  “Classmate Liu Bingyao, isn’t this clear enough? This is a motel, and you… have been drugged!” Tang Hao said.

  Liu Bingyao was shocked and her face turned pale.

  “Don’t worry, you’re fine. Their plan was foiled!” Tang Hao said.

  Liu Bingyao lowered her head and noticed that her clothes were intact. She sighed with relief, then said somewhat incredulously, “Tang Hao, are you saying… that Liu Jiawei…”

  “Who else could it be other than him?” Tang Hao looked sarcastically at Liu Jiawei.

  “Don’t listen to him, Bingyao. You were feeling unwell and fainted. Zhang Qi and I brought you here to rest,” Liu Jiawei argued.

  “And you too, Zhang Qi?” Liu Bingyao exclaimed incredulously.

  Zhang Qi was one of her best friends while in junior high school.

  They used to talk to each other about everything, but her best friend had now betrayed her and almost caused her harm.

  Zhang Qi lowered her head and said nothing.

  Liu Bingyao’s complexion was ghostly pale. She laughed bitterly. “I didn’t expect that you would betray me!”

  Then, she raised her eyebrows and said angrily. “Liu Jiawei, I didn’t expect that you are such a depraved person. You’re worse than an animal.”

  “Don’t listen to his nonsense, Bingyao. He’s trying to frame me. I’m innocent,” Liu Jiawei argued.

  “Do you think I’d believe you?” Liu Bingyao said coldly.

  Liu Jiawei’s expression stiffened. He smirked, having given up on his guise. “Silly b*tch, so what if I did? What can you possibly do to me?” He said with a vicious smile on his face.

  Liu Bingyao furrowed her brows and displayed an expression of disgust.

  She then looked at Tang Hao and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Tang Hao! I’ve dragged you into this!”

  Tang Hao had obviously caused the injuries on Liu Jiawei’s face. Tang Hao was a mere peasant, while Liu Jiawei’s family was wealthy and powerful. It was not a fair fight at all.

  Even if he had violated her, his family would wield their authority to suppress the news. Furthermore, she was untouched.

  “It’s fine!” Tang Hao smiled. “You just have to rest!”

  A
fter that, he picked her up and leaned her against the headboard.

  Tang Hao pulled a chair and sat down. He heard his phone ringing, pulled it out, and saw that Ma Fangfang was calling him.

  He answered the call, then briefly explained what happened.

  A few minutes later, Ma Fangfang, Li Fei, and a bunch of classmates arrived at the scene.

  “Are you alright, Bingyao?” Ma Fangfang and Li Fei rushed into the room toward the bed and asked with great concern.

  “I’m fine!” Li Bingyao replied softly.

  “Phew, fortunately you’re alright!” Li Fei sighed with relief. Then, he turned around to glare at Liu Jiawei. “Liu Jiawei, you’re worse than an animal,” he cursed.

  Liu Jiawei smirked and said condescendingly, “Why, Li Fei, you’re unhappy with me? Try cursing me again if you have the balls to. Don’t forget that you’re just a dog working under my family! What gives you the right to yell at me?

  “And that useless piece of trash that you call your dad. I can easily ask my father to fire both of you. Your family can starve for all I care!”

  “You…” Li Fei trembled with anger. His face and ears were bright red and his fists were tightly clenched, He gritted his teeth so hard that his facial features were contorted.

  He felt extremely aggrieved by Liu Jiawei’s words, but he managed to overcome the urge to punch him. He was still young, and he could afford to change jobs. However, his father was already old, and it would be hard for him to look for another job if he was fired.

  “Dammit!” He kicked the bed, then resentfully turned around and walked next to Tang Hao.

  “Liu Jiawei, did you do that kind of thing to Liu Bingyao?” Wu Danli asked as she emerged from the crowd.

  “Of course not,” Liu Jiawei answered, “Don’t listen to Tang Hao. He’s trying to frame me. How would I do something like that? Not only is Tang Hao framing me, but he is also taking the opportunity to blackmail me for a hundred thousand yuan!”

  “Wow!” Everyone exclaimed.

  “That can’t be! Would Tang Hao be that despicable?”

  “I knew it! Why would Liu Jiawei do such a depraved act? It must be Tang Hao framing him.” Luo Wei emerged from the crowd and smirked at Tang Hao.

  Some people believed him, though they were still suspicious.

  Just then, two uniformed police officers appeared at the door.

  “What’s going on?” The two police officers asked as they surveyed the scene.

  “It’s him, officer! Arrest him! He’s framing and blackmailing me. He wants to kill me too!” Liu Jiawei immediately pointed at Tang Hao.

  “Look at this, officers, this is all his doing,” Liu Jiawei said as he pointed at his face, then to the shift supervisor and security guards. “These people can be my witnesses.”

  After that, he repeated the sequence of events that he had made up.

  One of the police officers recorded his statement as he spoke.

  Then, the police officer frowned and looked at Tang Hao. “What else do you have to say? Did you blackmail him? And the injuries on his body, did you cause them?”

  Tang Hao stood up from the chair and said, “The injuries were indeed caused by me because he deserves to be beaten. He drugged an innocent girl and attempted to rape her. Isn’t that deserving of a beating?

  “If I hadn’t noticed that in time and stopped him, he would have succeeded in his wicked deed. As for the blackmail, it’s all a fabrication.”

  The two police officers frowned. Both parties gave conflicting statements, and there was no conclusive evidence. Most importantly, the victim was unconscious throughout the incident and could not be a witness.

  “It looks like… we’ll have to bring them back for questioning!” One of the police officers mumbled.

  Just then, frantic footsteps were heard from beyond the door. A group of people rushed in. In the lead was a fifty-something-year-old woman that wore heavy makeup.

  “Oh, Jiawei, my precious son! How did your face become like that? Tell Ma who did that!” The middle-aged woman rushed toward Liu Jiawei as soon as she entered the room. She felt sorry for his son’s swollen face.

  “It’s him, Ma!” Liu Jiawei pointed at Tang Hao.

  “Why, you little rascal, how audacious of you! How dare you hit my son! What are you two standing there for? Quick, arrest him!” The middle-aged woman glared at Tang Hao and shrieked like an angry female leopard.

  “Ma, he tried to blackmail me too! When that failed, he tried to kill me!” Liu Jiawei said.

  The middle-aged woman became even more agitated. “Did you hear that? This violent peasant wants to kill my son. Why are you two police officers just standing there? Arrest him quickly! I want to sue him! I’ll make sure that he rots in jail!”

  The two police officers hesitated.

  The boy named Tang Hao did indeed beat up the other boy, though that was not the crucial point.

  The middle-aged woman’s temper exploded when she saw the police officers not taking any action. “Do you know who I am? I’m from the Ministry of Education. My name is Sun Lan, and my elder brother is the Secretary of the Trade and Commerce Bureau. He’s good friends with your superintendent. Do you believe that I can end the two of you just by making a phone call?”

  The two police officers trembled in fear, and their foreheads were drenched in a cold sweat.

  ‘The Secretary of the Trade and Commerce Bureau? That’s a VIP!’

  “Are you two deaf? Quick, arrest him!” Sun Lan shrieked.

  “Yes, yes! Now! We’ll arrest him now!” The two police officers said in fear as they wiped the sweat from their brows.

  “Well, this kid did commit battery anyway, and it’s a pretty solid beating, too. We’ll arrest him first, then we’ll see what happens!” One of the police officers whispered to the other.

  “Oh well! Too bad he’s unlucky enough to beat up the wrong person!” The other police officer chuckled.

  In their eyes, the boy was unlucky to have crossed the child of a figure of authority. The rape case would also be going cold. There was no evidence, and the alleged offender was the child of a powerful figure. There was no investigation to be done, not that they dared to conduct any investigations.

  Arriving at that conclusion, the two police officers took out their handcuffs and walked toward Tang Hao.

  ‘You’re under arrest. Come along with us!”

  “Hey! What do you think you’re doing? That bastard is the culprit. Why are you arresting my brother?” Li Fei said anxiously and blocked Tang Hao with his body.

  Ma Fangfang also frantically grabbed Tang Hao’s hand.

  Liu Bingyao stood up and said, “Why are you arresting him? You should be arresting Liu Jiawei and Zhang Qi. They drugged me and brought me to this room and attempted to rape me!”

  The two police officers were dumbfounded.

  The classmates were once again discussing among themselves.

  “You’ve been deceived, Bingyao. You were unconscious the whole time and didn’t see anything,” Liu Jiawei explained hastily.

  Sun Lan gave her a side-eye and smirked. “Rape? That’s a joke. Would my son need to force himself on someone? He’s handsome and rich, and he already has many girls falling for him. You think that every man in the world will fall for you, just because you have some looks?

  “Look at you. Shouldn’t you feel ashamed of wearing those clothes? You don’t look like a decent girl at all. I think my son wouldn’t even want you even if you begged him!”

  “You…” Liu Bingyao’s face was red with anger.

  “What about me? You want to fight me, you brat? Hmph! You don’t have any evidence! And the deed wasn’t done! So nothing happened, right? Isn’t that so, officers?” Sun Lan’s arms were akimbo and she looked like a shrew.

  “Yes, yes! That is indeed it!” The two poli
ce officers nodded hastily.

  “So that settles it then. This violent peasant has also beaten my child! That is the truth, and there’s no arguing around it!”

  “Yes, yes!” The two police officers replied, then walked toward Tang Hao.

  Liu Jiawei smirked in glee. ‘Tang Hao, oh, Tang Hao. You dare beat me? You’re dead meat!’ he thought.

  Some people in the crowd, such as Luo Wei, also showed glee on their faces.

  “He deserves to be arrested. This Tang Hao is just a poor loser. He’s envious of Young Master Liu, and that’s why he wants to frame him!” Luo Wei shouted.

  “You’re under arrest, Tang Hao!”

  A police officer with handcuffs walked next to Tang Hao and grabbed one of his hands.

  Just as he finished speaking, everyone heard a roar from outside of the room. “What the hell do you think you’re doing! Have you two whelps gotten tired of living?”

  The police officers were dumbfounded. They stood stiffly on the spot.

  Everyone else in the room was also stunned and looked out of the door.

  A middle-aged man in a police uniform walked through the door. He stood straight and looked valiant.

  The two police officers were dumbfounded when they saw the person coming in. Who was that, if not for Captain Zhou from the Criminal Investigation Department?

  Captain Zhou was a VIP in the police station. Why would he suddenly appear?

  “Cap… Captain Zhou…” The police officer with the handcuffs said vacantly, “Why are you here?”

  Captain Zhou walked toward them in great strides then poked a finger at the police officers. “You two greenhorns, have you gone out of your mind? Is this any reason to break the standard operating procedure?
