Vol. 1 - Ch. 49 - My rules are the rules!

In the silent corridor, only HuMing's figure moved forward, his hand propped against the wall as if in pain.Zhou LiLi, seeing HuMing at the corner, was not at all surprised because she had earlier mixed some stimulating drugs into the red wine she had given him.

HuMing must definitely be in pain right now.

"Han HuMing, why do you look so pained? Are you okay?"

HuMing paused suddenly, gritting his teeth and turning his head, his voice sounding weak.

"Why are you here?"

"Me? I'm here to help you~" Zhou LiLi said, blowing gently into HuMing's ear and caressing his chest with her fingertips, teasing him.

And HuMing appeared to be unable to resist this temptation, pressing her against the wall and about to strip her clothes. However, Zhou LiLi used one hand to resist HuMing while the other opened the door to the next room with a room card.

She had purposely chosen to wait until HuMing reached this location before making her approach. Who knows if HuMing, in his current state, might do something to her on the spot?

However, now that HuMing was trapped, she was delighted and even had already considered how to marry into the Han family.

As the door opened, HuMing pushed Zhou LiLi into the room and kicked the door shut with the tip of his foot.

Zhou LiLi wrapped her arms around his neck, her crimson lips particularly appealing in the dim light. She was confident that no one could turn her down in this situation.

"Han HuMing, come on~"

"Then I'll start now."

HuMing's deep voice echoed, but Zhou LiLi noticed something odd. She was stunned to see HuMing's eyes dark and deep, like black holes ready to devour her completely.

She instinctively wanted to scream, but then she was struck in the neck, rolling her eyes back and collapsing to the ground.

HuMing threw her onto the bed, his face no longer showing the pain from before.

He, of course, had not drunk the spiked wine Zhou LiLi gave him; he had vomited it out as soon as Zhou LiLi turned her back to leave.

There would also be no evidence of Zhou LiLi's assistance in bringing him to this room since he had hacked the hotel's security cameras before going to the bathroom. If they investigated, they would only see what he wanted them to see.

HuMing took the pen from Zhou LiLi's pocket, the same that allowed him to overhear the men's conversation.

"Miss Zhou, I'm taking back what belongs to me, okay?"

Seeing Zhou LiLi's lack of response, HuMing arched an eyebrow before lighting some incense. He then proceeded to make his way towards the balcony.

It was more than ten floors high, and the sight would weaken most people. However, HuMing did a flip and vanished into the night.

...

For Han ShuYi, such a place was ideal for building connections.

While chatting with these wealthy young men, his mother even personally came to support him.

And seeing this, how could the others not understand the Han family's intentions?

The individual standing before them was the true young master, while Han HuMing held no significance in their eyes. It was precisely due to this reason that Han ShuYi could adapt to this atmosphere so quickly.

After all, here, people are more interested in your family background than your accomplishments.

"Young Master Han, what are your thoughts about the fake member of your family? After all, he has taken away more than ten years of your life."

Someone asked this crucial question.

Han ShuYi gently twirled the wine in his glass, his reflection dancing across the surface. He smiled slightly, his demeanor composed.

"Thoughts? I don't have any particular thoughts. It'd be perfect if Han HuMing and I could get along well."

'But I won't give him that opportunity.'

His cheerful demeanor never wavered, and he appeared composed throughout the day, impressing everyone who saw him.

Han ShuYi drank the wine from his glass and looked around the hall. HuMing's figure had vanished, and no one knew what he was doing at such a crucial moment.

However, if someone were plotting against HuMing, he would undoubtedly be happy to see it.

Meanwhile, someone also noticed HuMing's absence.

Though Han YunXi was chatting with her sisters, she also kept an eye on HuMing's positions.

When Zhou LiLi approached HuMing, her pupils contracted sharply. She was about to intervene, but her mother pulled her away to support Han ShuYi. Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøvᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

She wanted to break free from her mother's grip, but given the situation and her position as the daughter of the Han family, she couldn't do so.

With HuMing's sudden disappearance, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of worry.

HuMing had made enemies in the past. Now that his real identity came to light, it was inevitable that someone would attempt to set him up.

Han YunXi couldn't even imagine what might happen next.

She gritted her teeth and lifted her skirt to search for HuMing's whereabouts.

......

"It's been a while; it should set, right?"

"Yeah, Zhou LiLi had already messaged us!"

The three men, hiding at the emergency exit around the corner, glanced at their messages repeatedly.

"Han HuMing should be having a passionate time with Zhou LiLi by now. We can use this opportunity to film a video; won't that be fun?"

"Indeed, it's not like anyone would actually want to get on that bitch, right?"

"Stop talking, let's go!"

The three quickly made their way to the room door and knocked on it. Yet, the room appeared eerily quiet, devoid of audible activity.

They exchanged frowns and glances. Zhou LiLi had told them to come, so why wasn't she opening the door?

"Um, gentlemen, is there something you need?"

The unexpected voice took aback the three, and they noticed a person in a service uniform, wearing a mask and glasses and displaying a very respectful demeanor.

"Uh, well. We forgot our room card. Could you help us open the door?"

"I'm sorry, sir, but according to the rules, we cannot open doors for others."

"My rules are the rules! My dad is a shareholder here. Do you want me to fire you or not?"

The man spoke confidently, his tone filled with threats.

The service person appeared intimidated and quickly took a room card from his pocket to open the door for the three men.

When the door opened, a strong scent of incense wafted out.

The three quickly took out their phones to begin recording, but upon entering, they discovered Zhou LiLi lying alone on the bed.

Meanwhile, behind them, the door "clicked" closed.
