Chapter 61 Unfriendly Attitude

Yang Chen felt an impulse to thank the woman. She had been like a timely savior, providing him with the best way to approach his current problem. As he watched her bid farewell to the room and begin to walk back towards the elevator, Yang Chen put on a relaxed and casual expression, meeting her halfway.

"Miss, how much did you gain?"

The glamorous woman paused her steps, cautiously lifting her head to look at the young man who had suddenly appeared before her, alertly asking, "What did you say?"

Since Yang Chen had only recently joined Yulei International, it was apparent that the woman didn't recognize him.

"I mean no offense. You've put in some effort, so I won't snatch away the commission you've earned. But I hope you can cooperate and help me knock on the door over there," Yang Chen said with a simple smile.

The woman narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Are you following me? Aren't you afraid I'll call the police?"

"I'm actually afraid you won't," Yang Chen replied.

"You're crazy!" The woman intended to ignore Yang Chen and nervously tried to walk away quickly.

Naturally, Yang Chen wouldn't let her go. With a quick motion, he grabbed her soft arm, pulling her into his embrace with a forceful grip.

"You!"

The woman was both shocked and angry. This man's strength was overwhelming, like steel, making it impossible for her to break free!

"Let go of me! Otherwise, I'll scream!" The woman threatened indignantly.

Yang Chen chuckled, seemingly unconcerned. With a slight increase of pressure, he made the woman let out a soft cry.

"Not very convincing. Did you rehearse that?" Yang Chen smirked. "You can scream, you can sue me, but before any of that, I'll strip you naked and throw you into the elevator. There's no one around here anyway. Don't doubt my speed in undressing. Just imagine, riding the elevator to the ground floor, then getting kicked into the lobby. It's bright and crowded down there, you can showcase your figure. If you're unhappy, you can have the police catch me, but all I did was undress you, nothing major. You can sue me if you want, it's not a big deal. Of course, if you do, feel free to take pictures or videos with your phone... give it a name and post it online, maybe 'A Hotel Adventure of a Female White-collar Worker'. How does that sound?"

The woman's face turned pale instantly. Even if she got compensation as this man suggested, her reputation would be ruined. She wouldn't be able to survive in society! So, she angrily retorted, "Don't try to intimidate me! I have no idea what you're talking about! If you don't let go of me, I'll scream, and I don't believe you'll really do anything to me!"

Rip!

There was a sound of fabric tearing, and the woman stared in disbelief as her skirt was torn halfway.

Yang Chen's voice, tinged with impatience, sounded again, "You'd better not test my patience."

"What... what are you going to do..." The woman was scared, wanting to cover herself with her hands, but Yang Chen had them pinned down. Tearfully, she pleaded, "Please don't, I... I was just following orders..."

Yang Chen sneered, "You should have cooperated earlier. You just need to listen to me, and I won't trouble you."

Inside the room, Liu Mingyu was sitting on the soft bed, her hands struggling to support herself on the mattress. She could barely keep her eyes open as she looked at Minister Ma in front of her, gritting her teeth, trying to force herself to stay awake.

Although she had been cautious, she hadn't expected Minister Ma to collude with the client she was supposed to meet today, tricking her into coming to this place. What was even more unexpected was the mineral water given to her by that accomplice woman on the way here actually contained sleeping pills!

Liu Mingyu realized she had been too naive, thinking she just needed to guard against Minister Ma himself, but she hadn't realized he had set up such a meticulous trap, waiting for her to fall into it!

At the thought of the short, fat, and elderly man in front of her intending to do something excruciatingly painful to her, Liu Mingyu, who was usually strong, couldn't help but feel her eyes moisten.

Suddenly, she remembered Yang Chen asking her about her destination earlier. At first, she hadn't paid much attention, just casually replying with a text message. But now, Liu Mingyu, more than ever, wished that the young man she had only recently met could miraculously appear like a hero in a movie! Even though that seemed utterly absurd and unrealistic.

Minister Ma's small eyes were full of greed and a hint of madness, his lips curling into a triumphant smile.

"Liu Mingyu, oh Liu Mingyu, you think you can resist me by pretending to be a delicate flower? I, old Ma, have never met a woman I couldn't handle! Today, you'll have a good time with me. I even brought a camera with me. I'll make you pose beautifully later, to keep as a memory..."

Minister Ma approached, looking at the drowsy Liu Mingyu with a sinister smile. "When you wake up, I'll let you enjoy it properly and then consider whether you want to serve me well..."

A hint of despair and anguish flashed in Liu Mingyu's eyes, but ultimately, she couldn't resist the drowsiness brought on by the drugs. She collapsed onto the bed, murmured a few words, and then fell unconscious.

Minister Ma's index finger twitched, about to pounce, but he heard the doorbell ring from outside.

An annoyed expression crept over Minister Ma's face as he furrowed his brow, retracting his hand. He walked to the door and peered through the peephole, seeing the familiar face of the glamorous woman outside, causing him to relax.

Opening the door halfway, Minister Ma grinned maliciously, "What's up? Little vixen, jealous and want to come in to feed me before you leave?"

The woman's smile was stiff, not saying a word, looking as if she had just bitten into a bitter melon. But slowly, a man's figure emerged beside her. "It's you?!" Minister Ma's face went pale as he immediately recognized the man who had embarrassed him in the company corridor and ruined his plans!

Why was he suddenly appearing here?! At this critical moment, Minister Ma's reaction was swift. He instinctively tried to retreat and close the door!

Bang!

Yang Chen slammed his hand against the door, exerting sudden force, causing the obese Minister Ma, who was bracing against the door, to stumble and fall into the room, landing heavily on the carpet!

"Not very friendly, Minister Ma," Yang Chen said with a meaningful smile, pulling the glamorous woman into the room while casually closing the door behind them.
