Chapter 566 Angel and Devil
Jing Shu widens her mouth into an “O” shape. She flushes, which is not apparent thanks to the darkness of the night.
“No worries. I have my pocket.” Jing Shu says, retrieving her hand and putting it into her coat pocket quickly.
Beitang Xiu flicks his eyes and smiles, “We still need to walk to the car park, shall we?”
Jing Shu follows Beitang Xiu with her head down, thinking about what happened just now. He held her hand.
Biting her lower lip, Jing Shu feels awkward. Mr. Beitang is gentle, but body contacting like this is not for her.
She wants to tell Beitang Xiu about this. But it is stupid to say such a thing out.
Anyway, she should stay away from Beitang Xiu.
It is past eleven at night. The alley is well-lit but empty. It feels depressing, especially when the autumn wind is blowing.
Jing Shu lowers her head and doesn’t dare to look at Beitang Xiu. She feels her heart racing, looking at the shadows of two people under the light.
Suddenly, more shadows appear under the light. Beitang Xiu stops. Jing Shu feels nervous!
“Pretty boy, having fun with your girl?”
Four people with disgusting looks appear. The man who is talking is playing with a knife. His voice is sharp and sounds vulgar.
His people all laugh at what he has said. Their gaze on Jing Shu is aggressive.
Are they for the money or the body?
“Mr. Beitang, let me handle this.” Jing Shu is irritated and steps forward.
“Hahaha, this p*ssy is desperate to play with us. Pretty boy, you find yourself a sl*t! Hahaha!”
The man with a knife laughs harder. His people even touch their p*nises.
Jing Shu clenches her fists and gnashes her teeth. She really wants to tear them apart.
“Shu, turn around and give me five seconds.”
“Mr. Beitang. I’ll deal with them. You don’t have to get involved...” Jing Shu stops in mid-sentence and finds her hand in Beitang Xiu’s for the second time.
“Good girl, just listen to me.” Pulling Jing Shu behind his back, Beitang Xiu leans over to talk to her gently, “Just five seconds. Turn around.”
They are so close that Jing Shu flushes when his hot breath touches her cheeks. She turns around quickly.
“Man, you want a fight? Who do you think you are... Ugh!”
Before finishing his words, the man with a knife feels pain in his chest and has a blackout. He falls to the ground like some silt and passes out.
The remaining people are shocked as they did not even see Beitang Xiu attack!
Beitang Xiu quickly takes down the remaining three with few attacks, not giving them a moment to breathe.
Less than five seconds.
Though Jing Shu turns around, she still sees everything through the shadows. Beitang Xiu is far better at fighting, which can be described with the word “horrible”.
He makes them inactive with only one move. The strength and accuracy of his hit are way beyond her current ability!
To put it straight, Beitang Xiu is more professional than a professional assassin.
“Alright, Shu. Let’s go.” This time, Beitang Xiu takes Jing Shu’s hand and straightly takes her to the car park.
Looking at the four men lying on the ground, Jing Shu asks frightenedly, “Is it OK to leave them here? Should we call the police?”
“Someone will take care of them. Don’t worry.” The alley is narrow but still under watch according to the usual practice of the underworld. Plus, his attacks are enough to keep them unconscious until the next morning. Even if no one comes to deal with them, there are no threats anyway.
There is a ten-minute walk from the coffee shop to the car park, an ample open space after a turn. The old man on the night shift looks friendly. He asks Beitang Xiu smilingly, “Young master, is she your girlfriend?”
Beitang Xiu looks at Jing Shu, “Not for the moment.”
“Ah, Hahaha!” The old man laughs and says nothing.
Beitang Xiu drives a normal Volkswagen. The uniform and the car make him unnoticeable in the crowd.
Jing Shu is confused. Is Beitang Xiu hiding something by doing this?
Sitting in the front seat, Jing Shu takes a peek at Beitang Xiu, whose profile is smooth and beautiful.
When the car drives past the scene, those men have long gone.
Jing Shu is surprised at the work speed.
“Are you here for what happened in the conference room earlier today?” Beitang Xiu asks directly.
Jing Shu pauses and nods. She does not know what to say afterwards.
If Beitang Xiu had made an attack, Lei Buyang would not have walked away easily.
“Are you worried about me?”
Jing Shu’s heart skips a beat. She tortures the hem of her cloth, thinking how to reply.
Finally, Jing Shu nods, “Yes. Mr. Beitang, were you angry at that time?”
“For sure I was.”
Beitang Xiu’s answer is unexpected. Jing Shu asks, “Really?” How come she could not tell that Beitang Xiu was angry?
“I was thinking about spilling the coffee on him as well.”
“...” If that had happened, it would have led to a fight.
Only a dumb and bold young man does this.
“But it would have been too easy on him if I had just spilt some coffee on him.” Beitang Xiu lifts the corner of his mouth. His angel face looks evil.
Jing Shu widens her eyes. So Beitang Xiu has retaliated in other ways?
Meanwhile, Beitang Xiu’s phone starts to ring. Checking the caller, Beitang Xiu smiles as if he already knows, “Hello, President Lei. I’m so honored to hear from you at such a late hour!”
“Beitang Xiu... What have you done to me!” Lei Buyang’s voice sounds painful, and his words sound angry.
Beitang Xiu raises his eyebrow, “President Lei, what are you talking about? I have no clue. Could you please elaborate on that?”
“You! How dare you, Beitang Xiu! Playing dumb... Ah!” Lei Buyang takes a deep breath to hold back his impulse of chucking his phone.
He was planning to have fun with some beauties. But when they were on it, he heard loud bowel sounds from his stomach and felt pain which led him to the toilet. He then used the toilet countless times in an hour.
He was definitely drugged with a laxative!
Sh*t, he, Lei Buyang, is known for his masculine power and sexual ability. He has lost face because of this.
Moreover, he has been humiliated in front of many beauties. How miserable he is!
Lei Buyang has made himself loads of enemies. But only those who know him well can come up with this kind of idea to pull his leg. It is a jest, suggesting the one who drugged him is from a particular background and does not worry about his retaliation.
Lei Buyang contemplated and narrowed down his suspect list to Beitang Xiu.
No one fits the criteria better than him!
“Hahaha!” Beitang Xiu laughs, “President Lei, I’m flattered. I suggest you visit your doctor to treat your health problem. We can only discuss our cooperation when you are healthy.”
Beitang Xiu has made it clear that Lei Buyang will be in good health if they cooperate in the project.
“You b*st*rd. You’ll pay for this!” Lei Buyang says and hangs up the phone.
Jing Shu hears the whole conversation. Beitang Xiu intentionally put the speaker on. She suddenly realizes that Beitang Xiu looks gentle and charming but he can be really sneaky.
Even Lei Buyang fell for his trick.
“Mr. Beitang, did you send someone to...” Did he send someone to drug Lei Buyang?
“President Lei is careful about food and drinks. He won’t allow anyone to put things into his cup.”
Jing Shu is more confused. She thought, “If not the drink, then how did you do it?”
Beitang Xiu smiles mysteriously, “Powder. On his collar.”
Jing Shu is reminded of how Beitang Xiu helped Lei Buyang with his ties upon his leaving.
He was drugged at that time?
The trick is so creepy! She cannot believe that anyone in this era can do that!
God, is Beitang Xiu from the Sect of Five Poisons?
Jing Shu thinks, looking at her hands subconsciously as they were held by Beitang Xiu just now...
“Little fool!” Beitang Xiu says smilingly, “I will never do that to you, Shu. Rest assured.”
Beitang Xiu’s smile looks innocent and unharmful. Jing Shu cannot help but swallow, feeling cold from inside out.
That said, Jing Shu cannot guarantee that she will never displease Beitang Xiu. Given Lei Buyang’s story, she cannot imagine what may happen to her.
She guesses she should stay away from Mr. Beitang.
He is like the opium poppy, beautiful but evil.
Xia Ning does not want to get up for work due to last night’s hard work. When Yi Yunrui decides not to get her out of bed, Xia Ning suddenly rises from the bed as if she has thought of something and rushes to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Yi Yunrui is worried about what he has seen.
His wife has been pregnant for over three months, and the condition is not very stable. She was moving quickly. If she tripped over...
Yi Yunrui gasps and dares not to think. He stands at the bathroom door with a serious face and says with a deep voice, “There’s one thing I need you to remember. You should keep in mind in any case.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. She can tell that her husband is mad from his tone.
Hang on. Who is Commander Yi mad at in this early morning?
Turning around to face a furious Yi Yunrui, Xia Ning figures out who the person is.
“Dear, why are you so angry? You look scary.” Xia Ning says with a sweet voice and toothpaste in her mouth.
