Zhan stood up. He quickly looked around in search of his clothes. He saw it on the floor. He turned to pick it up when he heard voices outside the door. He turned to the door and hurriedly walked towards it. Slowly, he turned the knob. He opened the door slightly and peeked in. What he saw in the hallway was Zanjin talking to Councilor Zhao.
"Xiao Zhan's experience with men is limited, Councilor," said Zanjin. "So, you see, I want the price doubled."
The old man sneered. "I was in New York when the scandal happened, Zanjins. Also, the news is reaching here. Don't make a fool of me. Let's not include the various men associated with him. Your pet is a first-class prostitute. First class, yes. But still a prostitute."
"Nothing happened in the scandal that was reported. I was also the mastermind behind that incident. Mr. Moore did not expect his fiancee will come to the party. She went straight to his room when she couldn't find him downstairs. One of the photographers noticed her and followed her."
Zhan gasped in horror. Zanjin is responsible for the scandal that happened to him! But why Zanjin did that?
Money. Zhan also answered his own question. When that first happened Zanjin was running out of money for a few weeks. And Ziyuan was already more than a month in the hospital. And Zanjin doesn't have anyone to ask money for.
Just like today. Zanjin was broke. He and his mother took care of a snake all their lives! Zhan was literally shaking. From fury and fear. He had a feeling that his knees would not be able to handle him. He leaned against the wall. His mind wouldn't function. Any moment he will perish at the hands of this DIRTY OLD MAN!
He was just like that when the door opened. The old man was slightly surprised to see him standing and leaning against the wall near the door.
"So, you're awake already," the old man said thoughtfully. Peek outside the door. "I promised Zanjin that I wouldn't let you that he is involve in this. But seeing you standing here, I presumed you heard us talking."
"I'll kill him for this!"
Councilor laughed lightly. "Forget Zanjin, Zhan. He's not important. I don't want to do this, but he warned me that I might not make you agree to what I want." He reached for his face but Zhan violently shook it.
The old man frowned. "You won't give me any problems, will you, honey?" Then the smile returned. He was smiling but not the eyes. There is danger.
At that moment, Zhan couldn't escape his arms that wrapped around him. His lips hit his cheek.
"Hmm... you're sweet. I like your perfume, honey..."
"P-please, Councilor... you're making a mistake," Zhan pleaded. He turned his face away from the old man and struggled. "I'm not what you think... the one Zanjin wants you to believe!"
"If Zanjin is right when he says you're inexperienced, Xiao Zhan, then you're lucky. I'll make you rich. You don't have to work. You don't have to walk the catwalk to earn a penny. You 'll get more than you want from me. You'll jet set around the world. Just be good and nice, okay?"
"You're... married!" Zhan exclaimed.
The old man laughed. A genuine laugh. "With your status, Xiao Zhan, I can't believe you're that naive."
"No!" Zhan gave the old man a violent push. Then run away. But the old man grabbed the blanket he covered his body. It loosened and fell from his body.
The old man gasped as he gazed at him. His eyes widened in admiration and lust at the beauty that lay before him.
Zhan was shocked. He was like carved stone standing in front of the old man. But he would not cheapen himself by trying to cover his body with his arms.
"You're... exquisite!" the perverted old man exclaimed while slowly stepped closer. Enough to make Zhan's mind go crazy.
Zhan grabbed the door handle. He opened it and ran out before Councilor Zhao could approach him.
What he remembers earlier is that he saw Zanjin heading to the right. Zhan turned left and ran.
"Xiao Zhan, you have nowhere to go," said the perverted old man following him calmly.
"Come back and let's talk sensibly, Xiao Zhan."
When he turned, he saw a steel staircase. He hurriedly run for it only to faint when he reached the top.
It was an open deck. The councilor was right, he had nowhere to go. They are in the middle of the sea. He looked at the ocean. He sees nothing but darkness. If he could see any light, it was coming from yachts in the sea and the light he could see in the distance was coming from The Port of Tianjin.
He was even surprised when Councilor Zhao spoke from behind him. His voice was calm and pleading. But the old man eyes foretold cruelty.
"I don't want a scandal, Xiao Zhan. But I don't want to look like a fool, especially I have business associates here," the old man said in a gentle voice. "I am a respected person, and I am sorry if you are not prepared for this. Come back to the cabin and let's talk. If you want me to woo you, then I am willing to do so. I'll buy you everything you want. Car, house, anything... I can afford it, Xiao Zhan."
Zhan wanted to believe they could talk about everything. That he can get through all of this. But the fact that they drugged him and the lust in the eyes of the odl man is what stops him.
"Much as I want to see you naked, you can't stay here like that, Xiao Zhan," the old man continued. "Maybe some of my guests will sleep with us here." then walked towards him.
Zhan panicked. Eyes turned around in search of a place to run. But there was none. It was like he was cornered in a corner and there was no way out. He tightened his grip on the railing while raising one leg towards it.
"Xiao Zhan, don't be foolish!" the old man warned. At that time his voice hardened. "You can't make it to The Port of Tianjin. The closest you can swim is some of the yachts around us-"
"Thanks for giving me the idea," Zhan said and jumped into the cold and dark water.
