Shi Ling became somewhat worried when she saw that he wasn't replying to her WeChat messages or answering her phone calls.
I sent him another message asking where he was.
Chi Cheng had time right now, but he didn't want to talk to her on the phone, afraid that she would hear his voice and ask him disappointedly why he wasn't taking the exam.
He sent a WeChat message: "Honey, I have something to do today, so I won't be taking the exam tomorrow. It'll be rescheduled for next week. Get some rest, and I'll call you tomorrow if I have time."
After a while, Shi Ling replied with a single word: "Okay."
Chi Cheng smiled helplessly. He could imagine her displeasure from the message she sent; she was clearly annoyed with him.
However, since he had already promised She Jiaxin and had important things to do, he could only try to appease her tomorrow.
Chi Cheng sat for a while and then received a WeChat message from She Jiaxin.
Shirley: 8027.
CC: OK, be careful.
She Jiaxin said sweetly, "Poison King, go take a shower first."
She smiled seductively, "I want to do something else with you. Go take a shower first, and I'll call you out when you're done."
For drug kingpins, the usual thrills are commonplace; many in the industry have their own quirks, all for the sake of excitement.
He was planning to go into the toilet, poke the condom, and then come out.
The drug kingpin pulled She Jiaxin over and kissed her neck.
"I didn't see you being this good at having fun last time?"
She Jiaxin said in a wronged tone, "It's all because my dad has been controlling me lately. I'm so pent up, of course I need to find some excitement."
The Poison King understood what she meant and his smile became even more lewd.
The two had their own ulterior motives; one was inside the restroom, and the other was outside.
She Jiaxin tiptoed to open the door and let Chi Cheng in.
Chi Cheng lowered his voice, "Is the camera ready?"
She Jiaxin nodded, then took off her shawl, leaving her in only a low-cut halter dress.
I threw a bunch of ropes I bought onto the bed.
"Hurry up and help me."
Chi Cheng naturally cooperated with her. After She Jiaxin finished tying her ankles herself, he loosely tied her hands to the bedposts for her.
He kept his eyes down, avoiding looking where he shouldn't.
Even so, visual stimulation is still deadly to men. The sight of thick, dark hemp rope binding his slender, white wrists made his eyes darken, and he couldn't help but think of Shi Ling.
When Chi Cheng removed the blindfold from She Jiaxin's eyes, She Jiaxin looked at him in surprise and whispered in his ear, "Chi Cheng, have you really settled down? You didn't react at all."
Chi Cheng was already enduring the discomfort, so he put the blindfold on her and then whispered in her ear in a harsh tone, "Don't go too far and you'll suffer the consequences."
She Jiaxin nodded.
Chi Cheng casually ruffled her shawl a few times, leaving it creased and half-hidden on her shoulder.
After Chi Cheng left, She Jiaxin began to call out coquettishly, "Poison King Brother."
"Brother David, come out quickly!"
In fact, they had already discussed it beforehand, and Chi Cheng left very quickly after entering.
The Poison King didn't come out for several more minutes.
Inside the room, where a bedside lamp was left on, lay a beautiful woman on the bed, looking like she had been raped, her limbs bound.
The Poison King was instantly filled with passion; it was worth abandoning Lin Shan to meet her today.
He called out, "Shirley?"
"Tsk tsk, they really know how to have fun."
She Jiaxin's voice trembled as she asked, "Who are you?"
The drug kingpin had played many games and knew she was getting into it, so of course he wouldn't want to make a fool of himself.
He smiled. "Who do you think I am?"
She Jiaxin looked even more frightened, "I don't know, let me go."
As she struggled, her shawl fell down, making the Poison King's view even more exciting.
He touched the rope on her wrist. "Oh, how did this happen?"
With a sob in her voice, She Jiaxin asked, "Didn't you do it?"
As the Poison King drew closer, he lowered his voice and said, "I've trained."
The Poison King understood.
He played along with She Jiaxin so well that their acting was almost convincing.
Inside the room, the atmosphere was almost ignited by the burning firewood.
Chi Cheng sat in the lobby, and when he felt it was about time, he went upstairs and knocked on the door.
The video on his phone was showing the drug kingpin taking off his clothes.
The two people inside were startled when they heard the knocking.
She Jiaxin cried out, "Help!"
The Poison King covered her mouth and shouted towards the door, "Who's there?"
Chi Cheng knocked on the door harder, "You fucking slut Shirley, you cheated on me before we were even married."
"Open the door." Then came the sound of the door being kicked open.
The drug kingpin removed She Jiaxin's blindfold. "Your husband?"
She Jiaxin's mouth was covered by him, and she was still shouting indistinctly, "Save me."
The drug kingpin realized he'd been tricked, his eyes flashing with malice. "You tricked me?"
Chi Cheng could see the commotion inside. "I'll give you three seconds. If you don't open the door, I'll call security. You can choose."
He immediately started counting after he finished speaking, "Three, two, one."
This kind of psychological warfare is the easiest way to overwhelm someone. As soon as Chi Cheng finished speaking, he immediately said, "OK, if you don't want to come out, I'll go call security. You'll regret it."
There was no more movement outside the door. The Poison King cursed and grabbed some clothes from the ground, hugging them haphazardly.
He opened the door to chase after her.
Seeing Chi Cheng standing calmly outside the door, looking certain that he would come out.
The drug kingpin's face was sinister. "You dare to scheme against me? When I was setting up a honey trap, you were probably nowhere to be found."
Chi Cheng shrugged. "But you still failed."
Chi Cheng handed over his phone directly; the video content inside was clearly visible.
From the moment he called her Shirley, She Jiaxin responded timidly. After that, he cooperated with her all the way, enjoying the fun and excitement of this play.
There's a line where he asks Charmaine Sheh how she tied herself up, and when Charmaine Sheh replies "I've practiced," he happens to block her face.
The drug kingpin clearly noticed the camera angle, glanced into the room, went back and threw the tissue box that was standing upright on the table opposite the bed onto the floor.
The equipment inside was smashed to pieces.
"Hold."
Chi Cheng calmly entered the house and untied She Jiaxin's ropes.
"I'm willing to give you the video because I've made a backup."
Having been in the drug business for so long, how could he not know? It's just that he's been lying low lately, spending a lot of time in respectable circles. Neither Chi Cheng nor Lin Shan are familiar faces in the industry, so he let his guard down and fell for his trick.
The drug kingpin, however, calmed down, sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and said, "So, what do you want? Shall we draw a line?"
She Jiaxin looked at him with resentment, "You infected me with this disease, didn't you?"
The Poison King had already figured out the connection, and answered readily, "Yes."
She Jiaxin gestured to Chi Cheng, who then played back the audio recording he had just made.
The drug kingpin's expression changed. "You want money? I'm short on cash lately; all my money is with my wife."
She Jiaxin cursed, "Scumbag!"
The Poison King didn't refute, but a hint of smugness appeared on his face.
She jumped off the bed to slap him, but Chi Cheng grabbed her wrist. "Let's get down to business."
She Jiaxin took a deep breath. "You yourself admitted in the industry that you have a disease, and you like to expose others by deliberately revealing your secrets. Then you retired from the industry to stop harming people."
She Jiaxin added, "And it's the same with respectable women. Once I discovered it, I sent the video to your wife."
It might not sound like a real loss, but for someone like the "Drug King," without the stimulus, he'd be practically a walking corpse. Moreover, his reputation would be ruined, his entire image tarnished. Not only would he face retaliation from others, but he'd also never have another chance to play the game again—it all spread like wildfire.
The drug kingpin gritted his teeth. "That's a bit too harsh, isn't it? I admit it's possible, but I'll apologize to them privately."
She Jiaxin shook her phone. "You have no right to talk. I can call the police right now."
The Poison King's expression changed several times. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly looked up and said, "Impossible. There are security cameras that show you entering my room by yourself."
She Jiaxin sneered, "Do you think we didn't think of that?"
The drug king recalled that She Jiaxin said she couldn't have any hotel booking records, so she told him to go up first and she would come to his room later.
She chose this hotel because one of the managers was a friend of hers. To make sure she wouldn't cause any trouble, he turned off the surveillance cameras for her for a few minutes.
After struggling for a long time, the Poison King sighed and said, "Fine, I admit defeat."
She Jiaxin has already given him the edited picture, which contains solid evidence. "Post it like this."
Soon, the group chat and Moments were in an uproar.
The drug kingpin reached out to Chi Cheng, "Video."
Chi Cheng sneered, "The second thing is to break up with Lin Shan."
The Poison King stared at him for a long time, then said, "Tell me the truth, did you sleep with Lin Shan or not?"
