Chapter 88: Vicious Stepmother
That night, Gu Liu sent a recording. The recording was not long, only half an hour. As soon as Yan Xi opened it, Luo Yun's voice was heard.
Because of some reason, the recording that Gu Liu sent wasn't very loud and it was seriously disrupted, so that Yan Xi could only hear a few words.
"Tie her up... Drug her... Molest... One million..."
It was not clear what she said exactly, but the words that could be heard made people tremble.
While listening to the recording, Yan Xi was boiling with rage. She gave Luo Yan a few chances to be a better person. But since she didn't want to change, Yan Xi had no choice but get rid of her.
At five in the afternoon, Yan Xi appeared at Room 315 on time.
She rang the doorbell. After a moment, the door was opened from inside, and out came Luo Yun smiling evilly.
"You're finally here." She moved aside to let Yan Xi enter and hastened to close the door with a proud and obscure smile on her face.
Yan Xi sized up the room and sat on the beige sofa in the middle. Her cold gaze landed on Luo Yun.
"Where's the thing?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Luo Yun casually threw a box on the sofa. "It's just a little piece of junk. You are probably the only one in this world who treats it like a treasure. But it makes sense. What good thing can your mother leave you with that poor look of hers."
Inside the box, there were only a few books. Luo Yun despised books, so she didn't even look at them before throwing them into the attic to gather dust.
Yan Xi straightened the box and placed a hand on it. "You didn't take anything, did you?"
Luo Yun sneered, her eyes filled with ridicule. "Let me put it this way, even the servants don't want it if I give them for free. You are unchanged, still that little poor girl who loves rubbish."
"Are you any better? You are just a mistress." Yan Xi smiled, but her eyes were not smiling.
"Once a mistress, forever a mistress. No matter how good and expensive your clothes are or how good you are at using them, it won't change your nature, which is a scheming mistress. Am I right?"
Luo Yun wanted to interrupt her a few times, but she didn't have the chance to. She was holding back her anger for what was about to come.
Yan Xi was surprised to see how stupid Luo Yun was, because all her thoughts were clearly written on her face as if she was afraid that people wouldn't be able to see what she was thinking.
"Alright, where's the document that Yan Dong signed?"
"Stop nagging me!" Luo Yun took out the document from her bag and slammed it in front of Yan Xi. "Read it carefully, I don't want to see you coming back to us and begging for our forgiveness."
When Yan Xi flipped to the first page, she immediately frowned. Her gaze landed on the nursing fees listed in the document, and a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
"You're actually asking me for nursing fees?"
"The Yan family has raised you for so many years. Aren't we supposed to ask for nursing fees?"
"Sure. If you want nursing fees, no problem. Give me back everything Gu Shen gave to the Yan family."
Luo Yun was unhappy. "Who are you to ask that back? He gave it to the Yan family."
Yan Xi was amused by that logic. "Am I not qualified enough to make that request as his wife?"
Luo Yun turned pale. She clenched her fists to hold back her anger, and her attitude toned down quite a bit. She lowered her voice and poured Yan Xi a glass of water, but her eyes were burning with anger.
"This nursing fee is negotiable. Yan Xi, drink some water to cool down. We can't talk about this in detail, there is no hurry."
Yan Xi glanced at the glass of water and held it. However, when she was about to drink it, she put it down on the table.
She looked at Luo Yun calmly. "Give me my compensation first."
Luo Yun's heart skipped a beat. She glared at Yan Xi. "Why are you in such a hurry? Can you think of anything other than money?"
"I can't!" Yan Xi opened her QR code. "Now, not a penny more and not a penny less."
Luo Yun gritted her teeth. "A few million yuan as compensation? Don't you think you're asking for too much?"
"Can you bargain." Yan Xi pushed the glass of water to Luo Yun. "Let me see your sincerity."
Luo Yun thought Yan Xi knew there was something with this cup of water. She broke out in a cold sweat. "At most 500,000.."
Chapter 89: Knockout Powder
Who would refuse 500,000 for free?
Yan Xi tapped on her phone and said reluctantly, "Make the transfer now."
Luo Yun hesitated with her phone in her hand. Many times, she was about to make the transfer but ended up canceling it.
Yan Xi held the glass of water slowly up to her mouth and urged impatiently, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pay!"
Seeing that she was going to drink the water, Luo Yun made up her mind and made the transfer. "From now on, you are not related to the Yan family in any way. We won't even bury you if you get killed."
"That's just what I wanted." Yan Xi took a sip of water and looked at Luo Yun's expression from the corner of her eye. She realized that there was a vicious glint in her eyes.
She smiled and placed the glass of water on the table. With a gentle touch, she knocked the glass of water over.
Luo Yun was shocked. "What's wrong with you?! Don't you know how to drink water properly?"
While Luo Yun was cleaning the water stain on her clothes, Yan Xi secretly spat out the water in her mouth.
'When Luo Yun raised her head again, she saw Yan Xi lying on the sofa, still conscious but her eyes were already unable to fully open.
'When she saw Luo Yun slowly approaching, she closed her eyes completely, pretending to be unconscious.
Luo Yun waited patiently for a while. Seeing that that drug had indeed taken effect, she was relieved. She raised her leg and kicked Yan Xi's calf. "Idiot! How dare you go against me. I can't wait to see how that cripple will treat you after today."
With that, she clapped her hands and asked the people who had been hiding in the room to come out. "Hurry up! Use the best camera for the video."
"Don't worry, Madam. We're professional."
They then set up the cameras and tripods. Every camera was directed at Yan Xi.
Luo Yun looked at each of them and nodded in satisfaction. "Now get out. The money will be transferred to your account."
She took out a syringe and a bottle of purple liquid from the drawer under the sofa. With a sinister smile, she sucked the liquid into the syringe and took out her phone to make a call.
"She's already passed out. Send someone over. It doesn't matter what he looks like as long as he's a man!"
"It'll take time for the drug to take effect. The live stream will begin in half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Yun looked at Yan Xi excitedly. The girl was subconsciously lying on the sofa. Her fair skin and beautiful appearance would definitely attract many people.
She would make Yan Xi lose her reputation and never be able to get back on her feet.
Thinking of this, Luo Yun felt happy.
The syringe was already filled with the purple liquid. The seller said that this drug was very effective. A few drops would cause a person to fall into lust.
Luo Yun raised it and leaned closer. She looked around and didn't know where to begin. She had never done this before, so she didn't know if she could inject it at any place or if she had to inject it at a certain place for it to be more effective.
"Why? Don't you know what to do?" Yan Xi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her with a mocking smile. "Do you need me to teach you?"
Luo Yun's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously took a few steps back. She was so shocked that she was completely lost for words.
"Why are you so surprised?" Yan Xi sat up straight and moved her wrists. "Are you curious why I didn't faint? Do you think your little tricks can work on me?"
"You, how come?"
Luo Yun panicked. She put the drug in the glass of water beforehand, and Yan Xi obviously drank it, but why was she not drugged? How was this possible?
She saw her drink it with her own eyes!
"You should find someone smarter to do this. Couldn't you even tell I deliberately knocked the glass of water over? When you were cleaning the water stain, I already spat it out."
"How did you know there were drugs in that water?"
"Of course you told me. When people are nervous and anxious, they tend to look away, their tone will rise subconsciously, and their facial muscles will jerk."
"These all showed on your face."
Initially cold, now the eyes in Luo Yun's face turned murderous. "You are deliberately making fun of me!"
"I am, what are you gonna do?" Yan Xi stood up and walked closer to her with a cold face. "You have to understand one thing, the fact that you are still alive means I am being merciful enough."
Chapter 90: She Was Drugged
Luo Yun gritted her teeth, her heart burning with fury. She immediately raised the syringe and stabbed Yan Xi. Yan Xi nimbly dodged and backhanded her arm, firmly stabbing the syringe into the vein of Luo Yun's wrist.
The cold liquid entered her body before Luo Yun had time to react. After all the liquids went into Yun Luo's vein, Yan Xi let go of her hand.
"Now you know where to stab, right?"
Luo Yun pinched her wrist and wanted to squeeze the liquid out, but the redness had already appeared on her face and her body started to wobble.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Luo Yun glared at Yan Xi, fear filling her eyes.
"You, you're not Yan Xi! Who are you?!"
Yan Xi had always been a yes-woman. No matter how she was beaten or scolded, she never dared to resist. But today, not only did she resist, she even played along and made Yun Luo fall into her own trap.
In just a few months, how could a person's nature change so much?
Yan Xi smiled. "You don't have to care who I am. All you need to know is that if you mess with me again, you'll end up worse than today!"
With that, Yan Xi carried the box and left. She took the purple liquid on the table and kicked her ruthlessly.
"Don't go!" Luo Yun's voice was shrill. "You can't leave me here alone! I'll give you money, come back!"
Only a fool would go back. Yan Xi walked out of the hotel and met Gu Liu, who had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Don't leave any signs of me having ever been here."
"Right."
When she reached home, Xiaoyue walked up to her and said happily, "Madam, the CEO just sent a message saying that he'll be home around seven."
Yan Xi's eyes lit up. "So fast!"
She placed the box on the coffee table and was about to send Gu Shen a message, when she realized that Gu Shen had already told her about this a few hours ago.
She was busy dealing with Luo Yun and didn't check her phone.
Gu Shen would not be angry if she did not reply, right?
Yan Xi quickly sent a few cute emojis.
"Gu Shen, I didn't check my phone, please don't get angry at me. I miss you a lot. I'll wait for you at home. Be careful on the way ~"
After sending it, Yan Xi took a closer look and felt that these words should be able to express her anxiousness to see him, so she contentedly put the phone away and returned to the room with the box and the purple liquid.
There was a password lock on the box, but she wasn't sure about the password.
Yan Xi tried a few possible passwords a few times, including her and her mother's birthday. After many tries, the box still did not open. She gave up and threw it aside.
She was thinking about cutting it open later.
Yan Xi's gaze landed on the purple bottle beside her. There was still more than half a bottle of drug inside. There was no label on this thing, but since Luo Yun bought it to deal with her, it should be very powerful. If this kind of thing were to circulate on a large scale on the market, who knew how many women it would harm.
She stared at the bottle of liquid. As a doctor, she had the habit of trying out drugs on herself.
The fragrance of this drug was overwhelming. Inside were patchouli and vervain, both useful for sexual arousal.
Feeling that this should not be poisonous, Yan Xi became bolder. She took out a small drop on the back of her hand. She waited quietly for five minutes without feeling any reaction.
It seemed like this thing could only take effect when injected into the blood. Yan Xi came to a conclusion. She put away the bottle, casually took a bathrobe, and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
She wanted to wash away the disgusting smell Luo Yun passed onto her body.
When the weather was cold, there was nothing better than a hot bath with a bottle of red wine.
As the hot air rose, her body felt warm. Yan Xi did not notice anything wrong and only felt that the heat in her body was getting stronger and stronger.
She couldn't help but let out a moan, his affectionate voice made the heat on her face intensify. She hurriedly jumped out of the bathtub, but her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
Yan Xi didn't expect she would get drugged just through physical contact with the purple liquid.
If she looked in the mirror, she would realize that her face was red and lustful. She was like a blooming rose, so red that it gave people a desire to go up and caress it.
