Chapter 93: The Fierce Reflection

Wen Liang stood silently by the fountain, watching the Audi car carrying Bai Huan and others drive west. The water jets seemed to dance gracefully, performing various postures in the undulating space, sometimes like a group of slender maidens dancing gracefully, and at other times like a line of warriors marching in unison, powerful and vigorous. They spread like peacocks displaying their beauty, or like giant birds spreading their wings, soaring into the sky, transforming into a series of beautiful and dynamic shapes, ethereal and mysterious forms.

The lonely boy stood between the light, shadow, and water, like a statue that had existed since ancient times, with a cold gaze and a calm face, adding a touch of eerie charm to the dark streets of Qingzhou.

A black car appeared beside Wen Liang like a ghost, almost making no sound. The window rolled down, revealing the gloomy face of An Laojiu.

After the Audi left the street where Pu Gongying was located, it turned right onto Construction Road. Xie Yan, sitting in the back seat by the window, suddenly said, "That's not the way back to my place. We should have turned left just now."

Bai Huan, who was sitting next to her, was startled, not expecting Xie Yan to be so familiar with the area. He laughed and said, "It's almost eight o'clock. We rushed here right after school and haven't had dinner yet. I'm a bit hungry, so let's eat something nearby first, and then I'll take you home. I know a restaurant not far from here that serves very authentic dishes with great taste. You should try it; you'll definitely like it." He lightly nudged Hou Qiang, who understood and said, "There's a small restaurant five minutes ahead. The storefront isn't great, but it's quite famous in Qingzhou. I'm almost starving too. Let's eat something before we go."

They originally planned to find a restaurant in Huashan District, but Xie Yan's sharpness and recognition of the area forced them to change their plans and find a restaurant nearby. Although Xicheng wasn't very prosperous, finding a restaurant on the main street wasn't too difficult.

Xie Yan said softly, "Just let me off at the next stop. I can go home by myself."

"Don't worry. I've inquired about your mother's situation. It's not serious; just a few calls to the business and health departments will do. When we eat, tell me the details about your family's stall, and I'll have someone take care of it... If you still insist after we eat, you can take the bus home. I won't stop you."

Xie Yan couldn't say anything more and turned to look at the night scenery outside the window, implicitly agreeing to Bai Huan's words. Bai Huan looked at her profile, with a few strands of hair loosely gathered behind her ear, highlighting her delicate and fair neck, creating a stark contrast. Her chest, wrapped in a cotton jacket, rose high, the sharp and round curves outlining a perfect shape. Her waist was slender, her hips round, and her long, firm thighs tightly pressed together, revealing a slight bulge between her legs. Almost instantly, Bai Huan's body reacted, the restlessness in his chest surging, making his breathing quicken.

The car stopped in front of a restaurant called Shu Guo, and Bai Huan and the others entered one by one. Not long after they went in, a car stopped nearby. Wen Liang lightly tapped his fingers on the back of the chair, his face showing no change. An Baoqing frowned and said, "What are they up to?"

Wen Liang knew what they were up to. At Pu Gongying, he had been observing Xie Yan and noticed that she hadn't drunk any beverages. These scoundrels didn't have the nerve to openly gang-rape a student, so drugging her was the best way to reduce resistance. He ignored An Baoqing, picked up his phone, and called Liu Tianlai.

"Uncle Liu, is everything arranged?"

"Everything is in place. We just need the signal to act."

Wen Liang nodded and said, "Make sure to gather enough evidence on the scene. Record the entire process, and focus on Bai Huan, especially his face."

Liu Tianlai laughed and said, "Don't worry. We're professionals; there won't be any loopholes."

They found a small private room and sat down. Bai Huan casually ordered a few dishes and pretended to be concerned, asking about Xie Yan's family. Xie Yan, who had been waiting for this opportunity, quickly recounted the situation. Bai Huan listened attentively, asking about two details. These matters were arranged by his people, and he probably knew them better than Xie Yan, but this act successfully lowered her guard, making her believe he genuinely wanted to help.

Hou Qiang entered, holding a few bottles of drinks, and discreetly signaled to Bai Huan. The server followed with the dishes. Bai Huan nodded imperceptibly, recognized the signal, and picked up the bottle at the edge, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Xie Yan, acting considerate. "You must be thirsty after singing for so long. Here, have some drink."

Xie Yan couldn't refuse and took a small sip.

"Try the dishes. Taste the flavors." Sichuan cuisine is known for its spiciness. Xie Yan unconsciously finished the bottle of drink. After about ten minutes, she held her forehead and said, "Why do I feel a bit dizzy?"

Bai Huan and Hou Qiang exchanged glances, their excitement almost showing. "Maybe you're just tired today. How about we stop here and take you home?"

Xie Yan said thank you, pressed her hand on the table to stand up, but suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell. Bai Huan caught her arm, supporting her waist, and said with a smile, "I'll help you!"

Hou Qiang checked his watch and asked, "Are we still going to Huashan?" The drug's effect lasted only one to two hours, and it would take almost an hour to get to Huashan, making the timing tight.

Hong Hou urgently said, "How about finding a place nearby? Who knows someone?"

Shi Chengcai suddenly spoke up, "I know of a luxury hotel in Xicheng called Hao Men. It's very grand and luxurious, and most people can't afford it. I wonder if we can go there..."

"Hao Men?" Bai Huan took a card from his wallet and threw it on the table. "Is this the one?"

Shi Chengcai picked it up and immediately flattered, "Yes, this is it! Brother Bai, you're amazing. I've only heard of it, but you even have a diamond card."

Hou Qiang and Hong Hou also praised him. Bai Huan said, "I got the card a few days ago. They said all expenses are free with this card. It seems fate has brought us here. Let's go to Hao Men. I know the owner, and it's reassuring to do business there!" He hugged Xie Yan, who was already intoxicated by her scent, feeling as if he was about to explode and couldn't wait a minute longer.

Xie Yan clearly felt something was wrong. Her mind was clear, but her limbs were weak, and her voice was weak. She was helped into the car by Bai Huan. Shi Chengcai, walking last, made an OK sign with his right hand and waved it three times in the air.

Wen Liang and Liu Tianlai saw this and Wen Liang said coldly, "You know what they're up to, right? These bastards may not be good at much, but they have plenty of good stuff. But Shi Chengcai is smart. Since he's taken care of it, you don't need to move." Wen Liang had two plans: one was to have Shi Chengcai encourage Bai Huan to go to Hao Men, which would be best if it succeeded, but there were too many variables, making the success rate unpredictable; the other was to cause a minor accident for Bai Huan and his group, which was common on the streets. Then An Baoqing would appear, take them to Hao Men. This was safer but had the downside of An Baoqing not being able to stay hidden, which was不利 for future plans.

An Baoqing clearly sensed Wen Liang's mood and nodded without a word, driving the car to follow. He didn't know what Wen Liang was thinking when he saw Xie Yan collapse into Bai Huan's arms.

The mantis is indeed hateful, but how much more noble is the oriole?

However, once this path is chosen, there's no turning back. On the road to the heavens, there is blood and slaughter, but no righteousness!

Wen Liang smiled, and in the reflection in the window, a fierce side profile appeared.

"Please follow me."

The front desk opened the room, and a beautiful waitress led Bai Huan and the others to the 8th floor by elevator. This floor had only three of the most luxurious suites. Bai Huan showed his diamond card, and the middle suite became his palace for the night.

They thought it was the power of authority, but they didn't know it was also a trap of authority!

The waitress opened the door and bowed respectfully. "If you need anything, press the call button, and we will solve any problem within one minute."

Hou Qiang lewdly touched her firm buttocks and teased, "If I need a woman, can you solve that too?"

Hong Hou and Shi Chengcai laughed, and the waitress blushed, said, "Please rest well," and turned to leave, feeling sad for the beautiful girl who was clearly in a semi-unconscious state.

...

Hou Qiang smiled and handed over a syringe. Bai Huan, familiar with the procedure, inserted the needle into Xie Yan's arm, and the clear liquid slowly flowed into her body.

"Enjoy it. Soon, we'll all go to heaven!"

Tears streamed down the girl's cheeks, and her red lips opened involuntarily, emitting a faint, almost inaudible sigh.
