Inside the bar.
"Holy crap, isn't that Young Master Xu?"
"Ssshhh!!!! Did anyone notice the bloodstains on the ground? That's a lot! Someone better clean it up quickly."
"Bro, you're overthinking it. Don’t ignore the broken bottles."
The crowd is chattering away.
Even the staff have rushed over.
Lin Fan's face is as green as it can get.
"This isn't over between us tonight!!!"
At this point.
If he doesn't make a run for it.
He'll be in deep trouble.
Tao Xiaoyi watches Lin Fan's disheveled escape, revealing a villainous grin. "This Lin Fan is such a wimp!! I thought he was fearless."
"Turns out he's afraid of the police. Laughing my head off at this rich kid."
"Don't you think so, Xu Ge?"
Tao Xiaoyi looks at Xu Mo.
Then he's stunned.
Shen Manni is clinging to Xu Mo like a koala.
"Xiaoyi, help me think of a way out of this…"
Xu Mo says with a wry smile.
Tao Xiaoyi is at a loss.
How would he know what kind of medicine Lin Fan dosed her with?
But there is a way out.
Tao Xiaoyi naturally stands in front of Xu Mo.
Using his body to block the gazes of the onlooking crowd.
He whispers to Xu Mo.
"Simple, Xu Ge! Tonight, Manni is yours. Oh wait, she already is. "
"Thanks to that security guard for the assist."
By the end of his sentence.
Tao Xiaoyi's smile grows a bit mischievous.
He winks at Xu Mo.
As if to make sure Xu Mo knows his little scheme.
Xu Mo's mouth twitches.
"Great, I shouldn’t have asked this guy for advice."
"I'll handle this myself."
He sighs inwardly.
Then he says.
"You take care of things here. When the police come, explain for me."
"No prob! Xu Ge, you know you can always count on me ------ Tao Xiaoyi!!!"
Tao Xiaoyi boasts.
He waves at Xu Mo.
Hinting for him to take Shen Manni and leave quickly.
Xu Mo feels a bit touched.
This guy's a real bro. He’ll stay when things get tough.
Soon.
That little bit of gratitude Xu Mo had for Tao Xiaoyi vanishes in an instant.
All because of one sentence.
"Xu Ge, have fun tonight!!!"
Xu Mo almost wants to punch someone.
He is reminded of how out of control Shen Manni seems.
Just as he’s about to lose his cool.
Xu Mo heaves a sigh.
Taking Shen Manni and leaving.
"Good for you o(^▽^)o. When will I have such luck too."
Tao Xiaoyi mutters, a little jealous.
He's not sure if he's talking about Xu Mo or Shen Manni.
Not long after.
Five or six police cars stop outside the bar.
More than ten police officers get out.
It's quite a sight.
"We heard there was a fight here. Where’s the person involved?"
A captain asks the bar manager.
The manager is still confused.
When did someone cause trouble here?
He has no idea.
Or maybe the police are just using it as an excuse for a sudden check.
If that’s the case.
He's not worried.
Dark Night Bar does legitimate business.
Whoever touches forbidden things.
Gets fired on the spot.
"Sir, the person ran away."
Tao Xiaoyi walks over with a smile.
Everyone is taken aback.
The manager sees it’s Tao Xiaoyi.
And doesn't say much.
This is the boss's close friend.
What can he do?
The captain frowns, "Ran away? Lying to the police will get you in trouble, you know."
"No false alarm, officers, follow me."
Tao Xiaoyi leads the way.
Brings them to the scene.
After explaining.
The police leave.
Meantime, on another front.
Inside a five-star luxury hotel presidential suite.
Shen Manni is tied up on the bed.
Xu Mo sits lifeless beside her.
His face and body are covered with countless lipstick marks.
"What kind of karma have I done!!! "
"If you want to torture me, can’t you use another method?"
"And you, damn system, come out and explain yourself!!!"
Xu Mo isn't worried about Shen Manni hearing.
Because her drug has fully kicked in.
Her eyes are dazed.
Her mind filled with just one thought.
"Xu Mo, are you even a man?"
"Don’t you want me? Now I’m offering myself to you!! "
"Be quick about it!!!"
Shen Manni shouts almost frantically.
Her slender waist twitches.
Very alluring.
Anyone with weaker willpower.
Might have already cracked.
Her voice carries an irresistible charm.
Who wouldn’t be shocked to see a cold beauty president turn into a vixen in an instant?
"Huh??? Me wanting you? I’m married, why would I want you?"
Xu Mo smirks, imitating a Dragon King's charm.
"You’re so forward~"
"Hurry up, I can’t hold back anymore, I’m burning up!!! There are so many ants crawling inside me-------"
"Those are not ants, but your lust has taken over."
Xu Mo rolls his eyes, not holding back his sarcastic comments.
Shen Manni on the bed becomes even more restless.
Ssshhh!!!!!!
Xu Mo sucks in a breath.
Alright, he's overestimated himself.
Better rush her to the hospital.
Why not go to the hospital right away?
Because this hotel is closer.
Xu Mo's original plan was to take Shen Manni out for some fresh air.
Let her calm down.
Once calm.
She won’t act up.
But…
The opposite happened.
‘Ding, detected the female lead Shen Manni has been drugged with aphrodisiacs. Symptoms are critical. Please detoxify her within a certain time frame, or else she won’t survive. The storyline task will also fail.’
??????????????
Xu Mo is full of question marks.
Shen Manni being drugged, do you need to tell me?!?!
You damn system, you finally show up.
For this?
Xu Mo’s inner universe explodes.
He’s unleashing a storm in his mind to the system.
"You sick or something?"
"Really, you want me to take the female lead?"
"Threatening me with the storyline?"
"Is this following the plot? This is destroying it! Three years, then another three years, and now another three years. I’m about to break."
"System cheater, you better give me an explanation today!"
Xu Mo is tired, more tired spiritually.
This time, the system is unusually friendly.
Friendly to the point of not giving any response.
Xu Mo’s mouth twitches.
You think withholding silence will work?
You think by staying silent you’ll be fine?
Alright.
The system wins.
Xu Mo takes a deep breath, then glances at Shen Manni next to him.
The ice-cold beauty CEO’s eyes are bloodshot.
Her pretty face looks like it’s about to drip blood.
Her speech starts to become incoherent.
Babbling.
Without a clear meaning.
"Oh, crap!!!"
Xu Mo curses, quick as lightning, he rushes forward.
Sticking his hand into Shen Manni’s mouth.
Has Xu Mo given up?
Nonsense.
He’s afraid this dumb woman might bite her tongue.
Shen Manni’s body jolts, then her teeth clamp down harder.
An initial pain is felt.
Followed by a more intense hurt.
Until his hand bleeds.
Xu Mo’s eyelids twitch, wincing in pain, "Damn system, why isn’t my golden bell skill triggering? Isn’t it supposed to activate automatically when I’m in danger?"
"Obtained ancient martial art, perfect level golden bell skill. Explanation: the skill activates automatically when the host is in danger."
Xu Mo glances at the text floating in front of him, visible only to him.
That’s correct!
Isn’t it supposed to activate itself when I’m in danger?
Isn’t he in danger now?
His hand is bleeding.
Hmm--------
Xu Mo’s face darkens, then he suddenly gets it after changing his perspective.
Is this skill… not legit?
Does it classify his current situation as some odd kinky activity between a man and a woman?
So the protective mechanism didn’t trigger.
Otherwise, how to explain this?
