At this moment, with just a slight exertion of force, Jian Yunxian's secret would be laid bare before him. But this guy reacted swiftly, resorting to a dirty trick—
"Eek..." Yi Heye couldn't help but let out a soft cry, just as he saw the person tightly gripping his mechanical left hand.
This guy was clearly aiming for Yi Heye's weak point, his fingers wedged directly into the gap of his wrist joint. Whether it was an illusion or not, he even felt a tingling electric current drilling into him.
Just as people are afraid of being tickled, Yi Heye was most afraid of having his wrist touched. In an instant, his previously spirited attack lost all momentum.
Jian Yunxian pressed his other hand hard onto the bed, her voice slightly breathless: "You're really naughty."
Yi Heye panicked as Yi Heye's hand was being gripped, and his voice trembled as he said, "Let go..."
Jian Yunxian had been briefly deceived by his gaze earlier, and this time he clearly dared not let his guard down easily: "I won't let my guard down, or you'll do something bad."
Yi Heye was like a snake whose vital spot had been squeezed; his entire body went limp, and all he could do was push the guy away while incoherently begging for mercy, sounding like he was about to cry: "I won't... I won't do bad things anymore... Let me go... I'll catch you again next time..."
Seeing Yi Heye begging for mercy for the first time, with red eyes and sweat beading on his forehead, Jian Yunxian paused slightly.
"...!!"
While Jian Yunxian was lost in thought, Yi Heye suddenly convulsed and began to tremble. He hurriedly buried his head in the pillow, seemingly trying to regulate his breathing. It took him a long time to recover before he looked up and weakly cursed, "Fuck your grandpa..."
On the other end of the monitor, Little Daji exclaimed, "Oh my, it's over so quickly?"
Sister Qin flicked off her cigarette ash: "That's normal, after all, it's the first time."
Jian Yunxian was also a little surprised, and quickly bent down to ask, "What's wrong?"
Yi Heye was about to flee when he shuddered slightly and collapsed, stammering, "Please...please don't shock me anymore..."
Jian Yunxian then glanced at his own fingers, then quietly released his wrist, calmly arguing, "It's your hand that's leaking electricity."
Yi Heye, though lucid, weakly retorted, "You're talking nonsense..."
Seeing Jian Yunxian release his hand, Yi Heye, this workaholic, endured his physical discomfort and launched another desperate attack.
With a "click," a cold handcuff fastened to Yi Heye's right hand. The next second, the other end of the handcuff was fastened to the bed railing.
Yi Heye looked up in horror and saw Jian Yunxian holding a key and placing it on the bedside table, out of his reach, right in front of him.
“Mr. Yi, I have completely lost trust in you,” the man said, looking down at him.
After struggling for a couple of minutes to no avail, Yi Heye asked in shock, "How come there are handcuffs here?"
Jian Yunxian probably didn't expect him to be so naive. After staring at him for a long time, he sneered, "You really know nothing about humanity."
Little Daji sighed, "This is a pretty high entry level."
Sister Qin clicked her tongue: "It's because his master knows how to play the game."
At this moment, Jian Yunxian had settled Yi Heye in the room, then turned over and lay down next to him, pretending to close her eyes and rest.
Yi Heye struggled while fiddling with the handcuffs: "Damn it, are you just going to abandon me like this?"
Jian Yunxian shifted her head, adjusting to a more comfortable position: "This is punishment for the disobedient little leopard."
Yi Heye got angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but kick him in the quilt: "If the parts are worn out, go back and get them repaired. They're all leaking electricity."
Jian Yunxian pretended to be stupid and ignored him, instead raising her eyes to continue asking Kevin questions:
"Kevin, do you remember what kind of medication Ren Guoqi usually takes? Does it affect your work?"
“There are several kinds.” Kevin listed several common drugs on the market, and then said, “He likes to stop halfway through to take them. The side effects vary depending on the type of drug. Sometimes he becomes excited and holds me down to make me work non-stop. Other times he becomes delirious, says a lot of things I can’t understand, and has violent tendencies. If he takes too much, he will vomit, which is very troublesome to clean up…”
Hearing this, Yi Heye, who had been struggling, stopped and turned to ask, "Vomiting? Like the others just now?"
After a long silence, Kevin did not respond, as if he had not heard Yi Heye's words.
Yi Heye felt a little embarrassed. Then he looked up and saw Jian Yunxian's ambiguous smile, and realized that Kevin probably only knew how to answer this guy's questions.
So he kicked him hard again: "Ask him for me!"
Jian Yunxian skillfully rolled to the side, then, as if teasing a dog, poked Yi Heye's nose with her finger: "Is this how a puppy asks for a favor?"
Yi Heye lowered his eyes, stared at his fingers for a few seconds, and then looked up again—
Then, she swiftly opened her mouth and bit his finger, moving with lightning speed and unstoppable force, so fast that it was impossible to see her movements in an instant.
"Damn it!" Jian Yunxian rarely lost his composure and cursed, pulling his hand back in shock and pain.
He bit my fingertip so hard it left a red mark.
"It really bites!" Jian Yunxian looked at him in disbelief.
Yi Heye smacked his lips, then looked up at Jian Yunxian with a half-serious expression: "This taste... ha, you're not human."
"Come back and say that when you've eaten someone." Jian Yunxian angrily pulled up the blanket and covered the person's head.
Despite the commotion, Jian Yunxian still relayed Yi Heye's original words to Kevin.
Kevin nodded: "Yes, just like those two guests earlier, sometimes they would run out naked, which caused quite a bit of trouble."
Yi Heye struggled to peek his head out from under the covers and then asked, "Do a lot of people come to their shop to take drugs?"
He was met with silence, so he kicked Jian Yunxian again.
Jian Yunxian silently rubbed her fingers as she provided simultaneous interpretation for him.
Kevin: "Yes, sir, many. This is Section D, and this situation is very common."
Yi Heye fell silent.
As a native of District D, he knows this place all too well. Drug use is illegal and harmful to health, and in his circle, the majority of people don't use drugs.
Kevin's statement clearly reflects the chaos within their industry.
This time, Yi Heye simply said to Jian Yunxian, "Help me ask if any of those two were their employees."
Upon hearing Jian Yunxian's translation, Kevin replied, "Yes, that girl's name is Rosie."
The girl who collapsed at the door was a human being, and she had obviously taken drugs with the customers, which is why she was so disoriented.
Yi Heye: "Do your employees also smoke with you?"
Kevin: "Some humans do it, like Rosie."
Yi Heye: "What about Tony? Will he do drugs with Ren Guoqi?"
Kevin laughed for once: "Sir, you are very humorous. As we all know, human drugs have absolutely no effect on AI."
Yi Heye frowned, pondered for a moment, and then remained silent.
Seeing that Yi Heye remained silent, Jian Yunxian asked another question: "Where do you usually get your goods? Are they provided by the store or do customers bring them themselves?"
Kevin replied sincerely, "I don't know, sir. Sister Qin never lets me know these things, and I don't want to know."
Having asked almost all the questions he could, Yi Heye tried to get up, but with a "whoosh," the handcuffs threw him back onto the bed.
Yi Heye awkwardly dug himself out of bed, then said to Jian Yunxian, "Damn it, that's enough!"
Jian Yunxian glanced at him, said nothing, and instead offered him the finger that had been bitten red.
Yi Heye was a clueless guy. After observing for a while, he sincerely praised, "I have to say, the blood vessels are very realistic. Most other people probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference."
Jian Yunxian was so angry that he laughed, and simply took control of the left wrist that the man couldn't touch again.
Yi Heye gasped, then immediately backed down: "...I was wrong."
Jian Yunxian's fingers lightly traced along the seam of Yi Heye's wrist, and Yi Heye couldn't resist it at all, visibly shaking: "Damn..."
Hearing him swear, Jian Yunxian scratched his wrist hard with her fingertips. Yi Heye froze, his whole body turning red, but he bit his lip tightly and dared not make a sound.
Jian Yunxian sized him up for a long time before teasing, "You just bit me, it would be a bit unreasonable if I didn't bite back, right?"
Author's Note:
Just to clarify for Ye Bao, his robotic arm is of very high quality and there's no way it could leak electricity, so I won't say who's causing the leakage (x).

There will be a second update tonight.
Chapter 49, No. 049
Yi Heye was so confused by the distress in his hand that he didn't understand what the person was saying for a long time.
It wasn't until Jian Yunxian loosened his grip slightly that he belatedly began to process what the guy had just said.
—What? This guy says he's going to bite back?
For a moment, Yi Heye thought he had misheard, until he saw the bright, piercing eyes of the person opposite him, and then he belatedly realized what had happened.
So he kicked her again: "Are you fucking crazy?!"
Jian Yunxian had anticipated the kick and dodged it perfectly: "Who had the attack first?"
Yi Heye stubbornly refused to give in. Jian Yunxian glanced at him, got up, put on her coat, and was about to leave.
Yi Heye panicked as expected: "Where are you going?!"
Jian Yunxian shrugged: "Go back, I've asked everything I needed to ask."
Yi Heye kicked his legs in frustration: "Let me go!"
Jian Yunxian didn't say anything, she just stared at him.
Yi Heye remained silent for a moment, feeling that he was indeed the kind of bastard who could be so heartless as to throw him into the medicine potion alone, and even leave the room door wide open before leaving.
He glanced at the bed again; it was a complete mess. He wasn't even wearing clothes on his upper body, his hands were still cuffed to the bed, and his skin was abnormally red from tension and excitement. He was a total disaster...
Even if someone saw this in Yaozi, he could just jump off the building and end his own life.
After much deliberation, Yi Heye decided to endure the humiliation and join Jian Yunxian's side, rather than be humiliated in front of others because of Jian Yunxian.
So he mustered his courage, raised his head tremblingly, and said, "Come on."
Jian Yunxian seemed surprised that he actually agreed, and for a moment he didn't react: "What?"
Yi Heye didn't want to repeat himself, so he could only glare at him fiercely.
Jian Yunxian paused for a moment, then laughed, and leaned back in front of him, looking him up and down as if he were a delicious meal: "Where should we bite?"
Yi Heye felt a chill run down his spine from the look in his eyes. He first withdrew his left hand, then subconsciously brought his legs together.
In Jian Yunxian's eyes, this meant that he could bite anywhere except for these two pieces.
