Chapter 256 - You Guys Are in Big Trouble!

“No?” Fong Zihao burst into laughter. “I've never been told I can't. The women I've been with are usually urging me on, telling me to come quickly, to give it my all. I imagine those words would sound even more captivating coming from you.”

“Despicable!” Chu Wenwen tried to maintain her composure, but she couldn't tolerate such degradation.

Fong Zihao was unfazed by her insult. “Chu Wenwen, whether or not you've slept with that so-called farmer is irrelevant to me. Now, I'm giving you another chance. You can either willingly keep me company, or... considering I brought you here, do you really think you have a chance to escape?”

“Fong Zihao, do you realize what you're doing?” Chu Wenwen, though frightened, forced herself to remain steady. “You're committing a crime!”

“Oh, am I? Thanks for the heads-up, but...” Fong Zihao continued to smirk, “Who would believe you, though? I could simply have my way with you and then leave you dead here...”

Chu Wenwen's face turned ghostly white at his words, which only made him laugh harder. “Relax, sweetheart, I'm not that heartless. I was furious when I heard about you and some farmer, but seeing your face again, I find myself liking you more and more. I couldn't bring myself to harm you. And I never kill; being with women should be a joyous thing. Murder would just spoil the fun.”

His words did nothing to ease Chu Wenwen's anxiety. She knew there had to be more to his story, and it was far too soon to feel relieved.

“However, while I have no desire to kill you, if you're completely uncooperative, then the game loses its appeal. Letting you go would tarnish my reputation. What to do?” Fong Zihao mused as if to himself.

The driver who had deceived Chu Wenwen chimed in eagerly, “Young Master Fong, I have a suggestion. There's a drug here. If Miss Wenwen takes just two pills, she'll become incredibly eager. Even if you tried to push her away, she'd cling to you, begging for more. Why not give it a try?”

Chu Wenwen's face grew increasingly distressed as she realized that Fong Zihao had orchestrated the whole situation. The thought of taking that drug and its unthinkable consequences filled her with dread.

“This is a good plan. Once Miss Wenwen has taken the medicine and softened up, make sure to record plenty of videos of her. We can savor them later or, if I'm feeling generous, share them online for everyone's enjoyment,” Fong Zihao said with a smirk. “Imagine the spectacle of the pristine fairy everyone adores, desperately pleading for a man's attention. What a sight that would be.”

“Fong Zihao...” Chu Wenwen's voice shook, whether from rage or fear, it was hard to tell. “I'll never let you succeed, not even if it kills me!”

“Fong Zihao, if you push me further, I have no choice but to die here!” she declared, pressing the sharp end of the hairpin to her throat.

Fong Zihao hadn't anticipated such defiance from Chu Wenwen. He paused briefly before smirking, “Go ahead, die then. But have you considered what you're giving up? After years of struggle, you've finally seen a glimmer of stardom. To throw it all away now, isn't that a waste?”

He was convinced she was merely bluffing. Who would choose death after enduring so much and finally glimpsing the promise of fame and a better life?

“This is all your doing,” Chu Wenwen retorted, her voice seething with anger. “Even in death, I won't forgive you!”

Enraged, Fong Zihao spat out, “I will have you today, dead or alive!”

Realizing further words were futile, Chu Wenwen lifted the hairpin and thrust it toward her throat with force. If it struck true, it would be the end.

But after a tense moment, no pain came. Perplexed, she opened her eyes to see why.

Chu Wenwen suddenly realized that her hairpin hadn't fallen; instead, it was caught in someone's hand.

Her heart plummeted, despairing at the thought of not even being able to find escape in death. The idea of being violated by the man next to her filled her with dread, yet from somewhere deep within, she mustered the strength to raise her knee and aim for his groin.

Crack!

A strong hand firmly caught her knee, and a gentle voice followed, “Wenwen, you're still quite the fighter, aren't you?”

At the sound of that voice, Chu Wenwen felt as though she was waking from a nightmare. She looked up to find, to her relief, that it wasn't Fong Zihao beside her. Tears streaming down her face, she lunged into the man's embrace, “Xiaolong, I'm terrified...”

“Don't be scared, I'm here for you,” Zhang Xiaolong reassured her, patting her shoulder gently before turning a stern gaze toward Fong Zihao and his companion, “You two are in serious trouble now.”
