My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 161: Protection Against Theft, Fire, and Best Friends
Yang Qi returned to his National Medicine Clinic to pick up some medicinal herbs and happened to run into Ye Qianqian, who was about to go out.
Ye Qianqian was dressed beautifully. Girls her age were already alluring, and dolled up like this, she was truly dazzling.
"Where are you going?" Yang Qi asked casually.
"I’m going on a blind date, since you don’t like me anyway!" Ye Qianqian wrinkled her nose petulantly, then turned and left like a gracefully dancing butterfly.
Yang Qi didn’t ask further. After all, it was her private affair.
However, just to be safe, he had touched Ye Qianqian and left a trace of his Spiritual Power on her clothes, just in case. After all, these weren’t peaceful times. For a girl going out alone, safety was paramount.
Ye Qianqian had received an invitation from Chen Li to attend a social gathering. Everyone there was from their social circle, all acquaintances. They had even specifically invited one of Ye Qianqian’s close friends to join, all to make Ye Qianqian feel at ease. This close friend had grown up with her since childhood, and they had even been classmates in university. Naturally, Ye Qianqian felt reassured.
Besides, she was inherently naive and cheerful and never suspected anyone of ill intent. After all, Chen Li was also a good friend.
The gathering was held in a private room at the Kang City Hotel. Since it was a public place, it seemed all the safer.
Ye Qianqian saw that many people were there, at least a dozen men and women. Chen Li made a special point of introducing Ye Qianqian around. Some were acquaintances, others were strangers, but they were all well-dressed and very polite.
"Qianqian, you have to seize this opportunity," Chen Li said with a laugh. "These are all eligible singles. And your family’s situation isn’t too good. I know your grandmother looks down on all of you. So, take this chance to snag a wealthy husband. That way, the Zhao Family from Thunder City will have no reason to look down on you anymore!"
"I already have someone I love!" Ye Qianqian ultimately couldn’t let go of Yang Qi. As long as he wasn’t married, she couldn’t give up.
"Suit yourself, but having a few more friends won’t hurt. Isn’t your brother running a company? If he wants to do well in Kang City in the future, he’ll need the help of people like these!" Chen Li said.
That makes sense. These people all seem so sophisticated. They can’t be sleazy characters. Thinking this, Ye Qianqian let her guard down.
Chen Li handed Ye Qianqian a beverage. Ye Qianqian didn’t usually drink alcohol, so a soft drink was just right. But she never could have imagined that the drink had been drugged.
"Why do I feel a bit dizzy?" Ye Qianqian said, frowning.
"It’s nothing. Just get some rest and you’ll be fine!" Chen Li smiled.
Ye Qianqian finally succumbed to the overwhelming drowsiness and collapsed to the floor.
"Qianqian? Qianqian!" Chen Li called out a few times, then she couldn’t help but laugh.
"Chen Li, what did you give her to drink?" Zhang Na, Ye Qianqian’s good friend, demanded. "She wasn’t drinking alcohol, so how could she have passed out?"
"I’d advise you not to meddle," Chen Li said, casting a cold glance at Zhang Na, a cruel smirk on her lips. She immediately dialed a number. "Dad, Uncle Qian, you can come over now!"
After hanging up, Chen Li looked coldly at Ye Qianqian on the floor. "Don’t blame me; blame your connection to that Yang Qi! Tonight, we’ll let you have some fun first. Then you can just be our obedient little tool."
"Chen Li, you’re insane! Do you know what you’re doing is illegal? I’m calling the police!" Zhang Na took out her phone.
But before she could dial, Chen Li slapped the phone from her hand. With another slap, she sent Zhang Na sprawling to the floor. "This woman is for you all. We can’t let her leak the secret, so she’ll have to leave something behind as well!"
"No! Please don’t!" Zhang Na was terrified. She could never have imagined Chen Li would be so audacious as to do something like this. She’s a complete lunatic.
"Please, spare me! I saw nothing, I know nothing!" Zhang Na cried out.
"Heh, scared already? Isn’t Ye Qianqian your best friend?" Chen Li sneered.
"I... I have no grudge against any of you!" Zhang Na burst into tears.
SLAP!
Chen Li struck her again. "You’d better shut up. Blame yourself for coming here today. If you hadn’t, none of this would be happening to you. Accept your fate! Now, start setting up the scene! Get the camera ready!"
Soon, Chen Tiequan and Qian Sou arrived, bringing several towering and formidable experts with them. This time, they planned to enjoy themselves first before setting a perfect trap to kill Yang Qi.
Just as they went upstairs, Yang Qi and Ye Fei charged into the hotel, catching a glimpse of their backs.
"Damn it, I knew something was wrong!" Yang Qi was truly grateful he had left a trace of his Spiritual Power on Ye Qianqian’s clothes. When he sensed her aura suddenly weaken, he had immediately called Ye Fei to rush over with him.
The two arrived at the door of the private room and heard voices from inside.
"Hehe, Chen Li, you did well. I never expected this little lady to have a face that could ruin nations. It makes even an old man like me feel a stir in my heart!" That was Qian Sou’s voice.
"Never mind you, even I can barely control myself!" Chen Tiequan’s voice rang out, clearly thrilled.
Ye Qianqian was a virgin, and old perverts like them had a particular fondness for such girls.
Ye Fei was instantly enraged, while a terrifying killing intent began to pour from Yang Qi.
"Ye Fei, stay out here! Today... I’m going to kill someone!" Yang Qi had never felt such a powerful murderous urge. Chen Tiequan and Qian Sou were worse than animals for doing something like this.
Ye Fei froze for a moment, then stopped and nodded. He knew he would be useless inside and might even become a burden. It was better to stand guard outside.
Inside the private room, most of the guests had left. Only Chen Tiequan, Chen Li, Qian Sou, the experts Chen Tiequan had brought, and Qian Sou’s bodyguards remained. And, of course, Zhang Na.
Zhang Na cowered in a corner, trembling uncontrollably. She knew exactly what was about to happen today. My life is over. She watched helplessly as they lifted Ye Qianqian onto a table.
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open. Someone walked in and slowly shut it behind him.
"Yang Qi!"
Seeing who had entered, Chen Tiequan and Qian Sou were both startled. They hadn’t expected him to arrive before the trap was fully set.
"Well, so be it."
"Qian Sou, looks like we’ll have to enjoy ourselves later," Chen Tiequan said, glancing at him. "Let’s take care of this kid first!"
"Then be quick about it. I can barely hold back. This girl... she’s just too tempting," Qian Sou said with a lecherous laugh.
"Chen Tiequan, you’re supposed to be a grandmaster of Martial Arts in Kang City. Have you no shame?" Yang Qi asked coldly. "How can you treat a young woman like this? Don’t you feel the slightest bit of guilt?"
