Chapter 85: Counterattack (1)

What else would Nan Zhi be buying in a drugstore, the morning after spending a night with a man in the hotel?

Lan Yanzhi looked at Mu Sihan worriedly. He thought that the man would go berserk.

Unexpectedly, Mu Sihan did not explode, apart from the blood veins in his black eyes becoming redder. His brow was also furrowed and his finger were clenched against the steering wheel.

Compared to his expectations, his fourth brother was exceedingly calm. He was so calm and cold that no one could read his thoughts.

Lan Yanzhi felt that he was way scarier like this than the times when he went berserk.

“Fourth Brother, you…”

Mu Sihan drove to the company building without a word and parked the car at his reserved spot. He said coldly, “Go to work.”

Lan Yanzhi deliberated whether he should remind Mu Sihan to consider taking his medicine as his aura was enough to make people tremble in fear.

This type of calmness was really very scary!

…

Achoo!

Nan Zhi sneezed a few times consecutively when she reached the door of her apartment.

She rubbed her blocked nose and inserted the key into the keyhole. She had just turned the door handle when the door was opened from inside.

“Yubing messaged me to tell me you were on your way back. I thought that you would arrive around now.” Xia Yanran said as she took off the apron she was wearing, “I’ve made breakfast.”

The two sat at the dining table as Nan Zhi ate a few spoonfuls of porridge.

“Aren’t you being too hard on yourself while you attack your enemy? You still drank that cup of wine for real even though you knew that Bo Shaoxiu would use petty tricks in order to get you.”

Nan Zhi’s head was a little heavy as she listened to Yanran’s scoldings. The ache in her head pounded like a jackhammer and she did not feel well at all. Still she did not retort as a light smile appeared on her lips. “I can’t help it. What else could I have done? He wanted to burn my diary.”

“Zhizhi, is that diary really so important to you?”

Nan Zhi hummed in agreement as she dropped her gaze.

“That’s true. That boy saved your life, after all.” Xia Yanran seemed to have thought about something as excitement flashed in her eyes. “Zhizhi, that douchebag outright blackmailed you, wanting you to sleep with him. How are we going to retaliate after this?”

Nan Zhi had already guessed that Bo Shaoxiu had other intentions behind asking her to go to Kaiyue Hotel that day in the private restaurant.

She ignored him on purpose for three days. A bad habit of any man was that the more they could not get something, the more they would do anything to get it. Such was the allure of the forbidden fruit.

In those three days, she heard from Yanran that Bo Shaoxiu had a mistress a year ago who looked like her. That woman had become pregnant and Nan Yao had found out about her. It was unfortunate, but she had lost her baby after she was attacked by Nan Yao’s bodyguards. The injuries she suffered from the after-effects of losing her baby meant there was a high chance she would never be able to conceive again in the future.

This news was not reported as it had been blocked at that time. Yanran knew a little about what had happened due to her connections as a reporter.

Nan Zhi hired a private investigator to find that woman. That woman was filled with complete hatred for Bo Shaoxiu and Nan Yao. When she had a miscarriage, Bo Shaoxiu did not go to see her at all. Nor did he pay a single cent for her medical fees. He simply did not care.

The woman immediately agreed after she heard about Nan Zhi’s plan. She would do anything to ruin Bo Shaoxiu and Nan Yao’s lives.

Nan Zhi caressed the retro-styled ring on her middle finger and smiled. Her gaze was cold. “Bo Shaoxiu probably would never have thought that my ring contained a drug too…”

The reason why she had made an excuse to go to the bathroom after downing the alcohol, and after he was also drugged, was to change her position with that woman. She had come in secretly while Bo Shaoxiu was in the middle of his lustful delusions and he had not realised a thing.

After they changed positions, she went to another hotel room in Kaiyue Hotel that Qin Yubing had booked for the longer-term. She soaked herself in a freezing cold ice bath for the entire night to dissolve the effects of the drug.

The result after everything that happened that night was that she got the flu. Her body was weak and sore after the drug’s effects wore off.

“I really want to see Bo Shaoxiu’s expression after he finds out that he didn’t have sex with you. It must be really interesting! Can you imagine?”

Nan Zhi tapped her slender fingers against the table top. Her almond-shaped eyes were cold and scheming. “Of course we can’t tell him now. I don’t have much power right now, which is why I can only play with them, one step at a time step. Yanran, do you have what I asked for?”
