Chapter 161 Hangover

After Su Jing woke up, she saw Qiao Xiao sitting next to her.

"Qin Yan has gone mad!" she blurted out as soon as she opened her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Su, Qin Yan has a mental illness. You accidentally came into contact with him when he was having an episode."

Su Jing repeated, "A second personality?"

Qiao Xiao: "Yes, he's taken his medication and is asleep now. I'm sorry I didn't tell you beforehand, because the doctor told me his condition was basically stable, and I thought it wouldn't flare up again, but I didn't expect..."

"That was too dangerous!" Su Jing said, still feeling a bit scared.

Qiao Xiao nodded helplessly, "It was indeed my oversight. I will make up for the trauma he caused you. Just ask, and I will definitely keep my word."

Su Jing stood up nervously to calm herself down, "No need."

As Qiao Xiao watched her departing figure, she said apologetically, "Miss Su, for your own safety, it's best not to have too much contact with him. He finds it difficult to form close relationships with people right now."

Su Jing paused, then looked at Qiao Xiao with a complicated expression. "You too, Qiao Xiao."

After Su Jing left, Qin Yan pushed open the door and came out. He stared at the spot where Su Jing had left and asked, "Is she alright?"

Qiao Xiao: "I can't guarantee that. I'll take her for testing." She glanced at Qin Yan, "Did you hear our conversation?"

Qin Yan: "Hmm."

Qiao Xiao sighed and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

Just then, Qin Yan expressionlessly reached out and forcefully ripped open his sleeve, revealing a wound that had almost healed. He coldly uttered two words: "No."

Standing to the side, Qiao Xiao stared at Qin Yan's current state with suspicion and couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Are you copying me?"

As she spoke, she glanced casually at the wound, then turned and walked towards the door to check on the situation outside.

As she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Qin Yan, "Lin Zhengqi and Lin Feng have a relationship."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan was stunned. After a moment, he snapped back to his senses and strode quickly toward Qiao Xiao. His tall figure moved with a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Qiao Xiao.

As he approached, his enormous figure enveloped Qiao Xiao like a dark cloud, blocking out the light that had been shining on her.

Qiao Xiao raised her head, meeting Qin Yan's oppressive gaze, and calmly said, "I plan to go somewhere closer to him. I'll leave this place to you for now. I'll keep in touch with you if anything happens."

Qin Yan replied without hesitation, "I want to go too."

Qiao Xiao's expression immediately turned serious, and she firmly refused, "Absolutely not! You absolutely cannot have any contact with him now, otherwise, once your identity is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable."

She gazed at Qin Yan's face, which was contorted with tension, and softened her voice to comfort him, "Don't worry, as long as there's a way to get close to Lin Feng, I definitely won't let this opportunity slip by easily."

Qin Yan frowned deeply, clearly dissatisfied with the arrangement, but unsure how to refute Qiao Xiao's decision. His lips trembled slightly: "But... how could Lin Feng not recognize you? How can I feel at ease with you like this..."

Qiao Xiao looked at him seriously and said earnestly, "I can escape, Qin Yan, I can escape."

Qin Yan remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.

The next day, Qiao Xiao packed her things and turned to leave. But after taking a few steps, she stopped and turned back to tell her, "Take good care of yourself during this time."

Qin Yan responded, but his eyes kept following the direction Qiao Xiao had left in.

After moving, Qiao Xiao and Lin Zhengqi encountered each other more frequently. Their frequent meetings gradually made them familiar with each other, until one day, the two seized an opportunity and agreed to meet at a bar.

Qiao Xiao dressed up meticulously, wearing a burgundy knee-length skirt, her hair casually draped over her shoulders, and her bright red lips were eye-catching. As soon as she appeared, she became the focus of attention.

Lin Zhengqi was already waiting inside the bar and had ordered two drinks in advance. When Qiao Xiao gracefully walked to his side, she examined the two glasses of fine wine on the table with a complicated look.

Qiao Xiao's face lit up with surprise: "Are you all ready?"

Lin Zhengqi smiled slightly: "Yes, I've been looking forward to your arrival." As he spoke, he naturally took the coat that Qiao Xiao handed him.

Currently, the two are in a tacitly understood ambiguous relationship.

Lin Zhengqi gently pushed one of the glasses of wine toward Qiao Xiao, "Try it, it's a new product."

Qiao Xiaoxin readily agreed: "Of course I'm willing."

Just then, a cell phone rang, and the caller ID showed Qin Yan. Since Qiao Xiao left, their contact had become extremely rare, almost negligible.

Qin Yan: [Are you free tonight?]

Qiao Xiao: [Later.]

Qin Yan: [Ten o'clock?]

Qiao Xiao: [Okay.]

After finishing their conversation, Qiao Xiao gently placed her phone aside and then turned to Lin Zhengqi beside her with a big smile, engaging him in a warm chat.

Lin Zhengqi was a smart man. He wasn't curious about anything that had just happened, nor did he ask too many questions. He responded to her questions with the same enthusiasm.

Time passed by, and the two chatted and drank, and before they knew it, quite a while had gone by.

Their condition had changed noticeably; what was initially a slight buzz had gradually been replaced by intense dizziness.

Lin Zhengqi frowned slightly, trying hard to stay awake, but his tongue began to get tied, and he mumbled incoherently, "No...that's not right, clearly...clearly my cup...didn't...didn't..." Before he could finish speaking, he swayed and leaned back in his chair, his consciousness gradually fading.

Seeing this, Qiao Xiao, sitting opposite, pretended to be drunk, holding her forehead with her hand and staring coldly at the man in front of her who had lost his guard.

In a slightly drunken tone, she asked, "Nothing?" At the same time, her seemingly weak hand slowly reached towards Lin Zhengqi's body and took out his phone from his pocket.

Just as Qiao Xiao was carefully fumbling for her phone, Lin Zhengqi, who was slumped over the table, suddenly let out a painful groan. His face instantly turned bright red, and his whole body became hot, as if he were enduring immense torture.

Qiao Xiao was startled at first, then showed a look of disgust and cursed in a low voice, "As expected, you couldn't resist drugging me, you beast."

Despite her contempt and anger, her hands didn't falter. Taking advantage of Lin Zhengqi's dazed state, she quickly unlocked and browsed through the various messages on his phone, trying to glean any useful clues.

Just as Qiao Xiao was completely focused on her phone screen, an extremely bold idea suddenly popped into her head.

She raised her head, her gaze gleaming with a hint of cunning and purpose, and placed it on the unconscious man. A slight smile played on her lips as she murmured to herself, "This isn't my fault."

Immediately afterwards, she picked up her phone without hesitation, quickly sent Qin Yan her current location, and left a message asking him to come pick her up as soon as possible.

Upon seeing the location, Qin Yan didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately drove off at high speed.

In front of the bar, a man with a perfect figure and noble elegance stepped out of the car. He was wearing the simplest and most understated shirt, yet he possessed an undeniable temperament and aura that immediately attracted the attention of those around him. They couldn't help but take out their phones to capture this fashionable moment, which resembled a magazine cover.

As he entered the bar, he saw Qiao Xiao in a red dress, and his heart couldn't help but pound with excitement. His originally firm and quick steps instantly became reserved and restrained.

But when her gaze shifted to the drunken man beside her, all the beauty vanished, her face quickly darkened, and her slightly shy expression became as cold as ice.

"Lin Zhengqi?"

Qiao Xiao stepped forward and patted his shoulder. "Quickly carry him away, he'll be very useful." Her tone was as excited as a hunter who had caught his prey.
