Chapter 473 Despicable Means
Chapter 473 Despicable Means
The room service has arrived.
Xu Yang was taking a shower while Zhao Yuxin, starving, began to eat first.
After Xu Yang had finished his shower, they ate together.
Before she had eaten much, Zhao Yuxin collapsed onto the table.
Xu Yang's heart skipped a beat as he felt his head grow heavy and his body weak.
He wasn't a fool; he guessed that someone must have drugged the food.
He and Zhao Yuxin had just arrived in Licheng and didn't know many people. Who could have drugged them?
After much thought, he could only suspect Hu Jialang.
Hu Jialang had looked at Zhao Yuxin with ill intent from the beginning, insisting on touring Licheng together and inviting them to dinner.
Anxiously, Xu Yang put down his chopsticks and pulled out his phone, hitting the emergency call button.
At that moment, the door to the room was opened.
Hu Jialang walked in with a sly grin, surprised to find Xu Yang hadn't passed out.
Xu Yang seemed listless and not yet unconscious, probably because he had eaten very little.
No matter, without much resistance, Hu Jialang could do as he pleased.
Seeing Hu Jialang enter, Xu Yang's expression darkened, "Was it you who drugged us?"
"Correct," Hu Jialang said, smiling and nodding, "Originally, I planned to build a good relationship with you first and then gradually seduce your wife. But you're so unappreciative, refusing me, that I had to resort to these means. Honestly, your wife is really beautiful, whenever I see such a beautiful woman, I must have her in bed, hahaha!"
Xu Yang demanded, "Who gave you the nerve to do this?"
"Do I need someone to give me courage to do this?" laughed Hu Jialang, "You probably don't know who I am, do you?"
Xu Yang frowned, "What is your status?"
With a smug smile, Hu Jialang replied, "You don't need to know, and I can't be bothered to tell you. Let me first show some love to your wife!"
With that, he immediately stripped off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.
It must be said, he was well-built.
Coming from a wealthy family, he was an avid fitness enthusiast, which resulted in his impressive physique.
Of course, he did this to be more attractive to women.
Many women, seeing his impressive build, would approach him voluntarily.
And with his handsome looks and wealth, he was nearly unbeatable in this aspect.
Tossing his shirt aside, Hu Jialang said, "Kid, if you had just passed out, it would have been better. You wouldn't have to watch me with your wife. But this way is good too, it's more thrilling with you watching. I've never had this kind of experience before!"
After speaking, he walked toward Zhao Yuxin.
Thump thump thump!
Just then, a rapid knocking sounded at the door.
Hu Jialang's face changed, "Who the fuck is it, interrupting my good time?"
He had only bribed the waiter bringing the food; other hotel staff weren't in his pocket to prevent them from coming in.
But he would not open the door.
Perhaps if no one answered, they would leave.
Yet as he thought this, the person outside shouted, "Open up, if you don't, we'll kick in the door!"
"What!" Hu Jialang's face went pale.
Why would they kick down the door?
He couldn't understand.
Xu Yang smiled faintly, "Don't be surprised, they are my people."
In Licheng, Xu Yang's business team had field staff. When he and Zhao Yuxin came to Licheng for vacation, they had thought if anything happened, they could have these field staff handle it.
Two members of the field staff had checked into the hotel that morning, right on the floor below.
They were ready to respond to Xu Yang's call at any time.
Xu Yang had pulled out his phone and pressed the emergency call button just to alert these two.
Once they received the signal, they knew something was wrong and immediately came upstairs.
At the same time, they notified the hotel security.
"Your people?" Hu Jialang was shocked once again.
He didn't know what this was all about, why Xu Yang's people had come.
But he knew that it was impossible to continue with the project.
He immediately took out his cell phone and dialed a number, "I'm in trouble, come to room 1509 at Licheng Grand Hotel to pick me up immediately!"
After hanging up, he moved a table to block the door and pressed his hand firmly against the doorknob.
No matter what, he couldn't let anyone in.
As long as his own people arrived, everything would be fine.
Although he was staying at the hotel alone, he still had connections in Licheng.
His grandfather was negotiating a project in Licheng, and simply getting those people to come and fetch him would suffice.
His trip to Licheng was both for pleasure and for the project.
For the project, all he had to do was make a symbolic appearance; he didn't need to negotiate, his main goal was to have fun.
Bang bang!
The people outside started kicking the door.
But with the table in place and him holding the doorknob, they absolutely couldn't kick it open.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, there came another loud bang.
An axe used by the fire department went straight through the door, nearly striking Hu Jialang in the forehead.
Scared out of his wits, Hu Jialang's legs went weak, his face turned pale, and his body broke out in a cold sweat.
What the hell, who were these people?
Were the hotel staff this crazy?
To not only knock but also kick and now to actually chop down the door?
Did they know what was happening inside the room?
Hu Jialang took a moment to collect himself and didn't dare to block the door anymore.
Instead, he picked up a chair nearby, preparing to strike whoever entered so he might escape.
Since he wasn't blocking the door anymore, it was quickly opened.
When the field agents and hotel security saw Zhao Yuxin lying asleep on the table and Xu Yang slumped in a chair, looking lifeless, their expressions immediately changed.
"President Xu!" the field agents rushed over.
At that moment, Hu Jialang, hidden by the door, hit a security guard on the head with a chair, pushed the guard aside, and sprinted out.
It must be said, Hu Jialang was quite agile, proving that his fitness regime had not been in vain.
He dashed out of the room and immediately entered the elevator, closing the elevator doors.
"Quick, chase him!"
The security regained their senses and immediately chased after him, while using their walkie-talkies to inform their colleagues on the ground floor.
Inside the room,
Once they knew what the situation was, the field agents called a doctor, who injected Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin with a drug to counteract the effects of the knockout drug.
Soon, Xu Yang came around.
Zhao Yuxin, having not long been discharged from the hospital and still somewhat frail, didn't wake up as quickly, so Xu Yang carried her to the bedroom to let her sleep properly.
Then, he took out his phone, called Ma Yangrong, briefed him on the situation, and then said, "Check this Hu Jialang out for me, I'm going to make him pay!"
Ma Yangrong, startled to hear about Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin's ordeal but relieved that they were okay, responded, "Alright, I'll look into it immediately."
Hu Jialang took the elevator to the first floor.
The elevator doors had just opened, and he was about to walk out.
But several security guards rushed in and pinned him to the ground.
Soon, the police arrived.
When handcuffed, Hu Jialang didn't panic.
But there was one thing he couldn't quite understand.
Why had the hotel security so decisively chopped through the door?
This question, however, no one answered him.
Just as the police were about to escort him out of the hotel and into the patrol car, several middle-aged men in suits stepped in front of the officers.
The police said, "We are conducting police business, please step aside."
