Zhou Zihao was beaten until he was in excruciating pain and dizzy. Fang Ming had also fed him a Calming Pill, making escape basically impossible.
Only after confirming that the other man had no communication devices on him did Fang Ming walk over to Shen Wanyin.
Upon closer observation, Shen Wanyin's condition was even worse than it had appeared in the video.
Beneath her snow-white skin, there was an eerie deep red flush. Sweat had soaked through her qipao, making it cling tightly to her exquisite figure, so much so that her excellent curves were clearly visible.
Fang Ming took a deep breath to calm his somewhat heated mood and quickly contacted Lin Chen in his mind.
[Nameless Guide]: "[video.mp4]"
[Nameless Guide]: "Fortunately, I arrived in time. That beast has been dealt with. I'll take your aunt to the bathroom for a shower to cool down first, then figure out a way to get her out of here."
On the other end of the screen, Lin Chen was staring intently at the video Fang Ming had sent. Seeing that Fang Ming was about to take her for a cold shower, he was scared out of his wits, nearly tearing the medical book in his hands to shreds.
[Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine]: "No... don't!! Brother Ming! Whatever you do, don't use cold water!!"
[Nameless Guide]: "What's wrong? In these situations, isn't using water a solution??"
[Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine]: "Ordinary drugs, yes. But that beast used 'Li Huo Ecstasy Powder'. The nature of this drug is extremely fierce, targeting the extraordinary meridians. If you cool her down with cold water now, the clash of cold and heat could, in the best case, sever all her meridians, leaving her disabled for life. In the worst case, it could directly rupture her heart meridian, causing her body to explode and die!!"
Fang Ming had just reached the bedside, his hand not yet touching Shen Wanyin, when he saw this message. He forcefully halted his movement.
This guy really is a miraculous doctor! He can identify what poison Shen Wanyin has been given just through a screen!
[Nameless Guide]: "Then what should I do? Take her to the hospital for stomach pumping??"
[Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine]: "It's too late. This drug dissolves into the bloodstream immediately, spreading throughout the body within three minutes. Look at my aunt now—her skin is flushed and feverish. That's a sign of her blood flow accelerating to its limit. Taking her to the hospital now would burn out her brain nerves halfway there."
Hearing this, Fang Ming was dumbfounded. Looking at the stunning beauty on the bed, writhing and unconsciously pleading, "Help me," he felt truly at a loss for the first time.
[Nameless Guide]: "So what do you mean???"
[Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine]: "Brother Ming, first try to use your true qi to seal her 'Tanzhong' and 'Qihai' acupoints to delay the drug's eruption!"
Fang Ming was even more speechless.
[Nameless Guide]: "Ahem, to be honest, my master only taught me lethal martial arts, not any internal energy cultivation. I don't have anything like true qi in me."
Upon hearing this, the Chat Group fell into a deathly silence.
Lin Chen on the other end was so anxious he started crying.
[Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine]: "How can this be... how can this be... I do have a set of acupuncture techniques that could save her, but we're thousands of miles apart. There's simply no way to perform it."
At this moment, the usually silent [Peking University] Gu Bai timidly sent a message.
[Peking University]: "Maybe... wait for the drug's effects to wear off on their own?"
[Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine]: "They won't. This drug is a specifically developed aphrodisiac for martial artists. If she doesn't find someone to... release it through intercourse, she will remain in a state of high fever until all her organs fail and she dies. There's no such thing as 'wearing off on its own'!"
[Soldier King Lone Wolf]: "So... the only solution now is to find a man?"
The Soldier King pointed out the core of the problem with piercing accuracy.
[Soldier King Lone Wolf]: "group owner, why don't you just do it?"
Fang Ming: "..."
Seeing the messages in the Chat Group, Fang Ming nearly spat out blood.
[Nameless Guide]: "Me?? Isn't that inappropriate? Taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable state..."
[Soldier King Lone Wolf]: "This is called'saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda'. Only you and that beast are in the room. If you don't do it, should he? Or... should we just watch her die?"
Seeing this, Fang Ming fell silent.
Between taking advantage of someone and saving a life, human life was indeed more important.
Lin Chen was also undergoing intense internal conflict.
He clearly understood that, given the current situation, Fang Ming was the only hope.
If not for Fang Ming, his aunt would have already been violated by that beast Zhou Zihao, likely still ending up dead.
Fang Ming, at least, was the disciple of a master, the Chat Group's owner, and his character was absolutely trustworthy.
Thinking this, Lin Chen gritted his teeth.
[Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine]: "Brother Ming... please save my aunt!"
[Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine]: "My aunt... when I was young, she never looked for a partner because she was taking care of me. Later, when I went into the deep mountains to train, she was busy with her career, struggling all alone. Although she appears strong on the surface, she's actually very innocent at heart and... has never had a boyfriend..."
[Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine]: "Rather than letting her die, or letting that scum have her, I'd rather it be you, Brother Ming. I'm begging you..."
Reading Lin Chen's words, Fang Ming could feel the desperate trust being placed in him.
His gaze returned to Shen Wanyin on the bed. As the drug's effects intensified, Shen Wanyin had begun actively clawing at her own qipao.
With a ripping sound.
The collar of her qipao was torn open by her own hands, revealing a dazzlingly white curve. The rise and fall of her chest was at its most intense.
She seemed to sense the presence of a man nearby. Like a beautiful serpent, she coiled herself around him. The scalding temperature of her body made Fang Ming's heart tremble.
"Help me... please..."
Although Shen Wanyin's consciousness was scattered, instinct made her clutch Fang Ming's arm tightly, as if grabbing onto her last lifeline.
"Miraculous Doctor, you said it yourself... if your aunt wants to kill me afterwards, you have to be responsible for stopping her."
He was no saint. Faced with a peerless beauty like Shen Wanyin, claiming he wasn't tempted would be a lie.
Moreover, if Shen Wanyin didn't receive treatment now, she would really die.
Thinking this, Fang Ming took a deep breath.
Zhou Zihao was already asleep by now. Quickly prying Shen Wanyin's hands off, he went out to retrieve the Tranquilizer Gun. While dragging the two bodyguards and Zhou Zihao to the bathroom, he used the tranquilizer darts from the Soldier King to give the other bodyguard an extra dose.
After finishing all this, he returned to the bed and gently embraced the fiery body... Zhou Zihao, for convenience, had not only booked the entire floor but also cut off the hallway surveillance.
This was done so he could enjoy himself without leaving any evidence.
What he never expected was that the elaborate trap he had set not only failed to benefit him but instead ended up benefiting Fang Ming.
That night, Zhou Zihao and the two bodyguards lay in the bathroom like dead dogs, while the lights in the executive suite flickered on and off.
The outside world would never know that on this night filled with ambiguity and danger, a life-or-death rescue transcending status and morality had taken place.
Since the drug's potency within Shen Wanyin was extremely fierce, Fang Ming had no choice but to devote himself wholeheartedly.
He could feel that, as the connection deepened, the sinister fire within Shen Wanyin was being gradually drawn out.
Her originally flushed and tense muscles gradually relaxed. Her frantic panting turned into soft, melodious moans.
In her half-dreaming, half-awake state, Shen Wanyin only felt as if she had fallen into a cool, deep pool, or as if she had climbed a tall, straight mountain. That unprecedented sense of fullness and security pulled her back hard from the brink of death.
A little past midnight!
Fang Ming sat up from the bed, looking at Shen Wanyin sleeping soundly beside him with even breathing. He subconsciously rubbed his lower back.
"Hiss, good thing I usually work out, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to handle it..."
