Chapter 746: Chapter 749: Who Exactly Is He

"Zhiqing, Zhiqing, your wine is so delicious," Yang Chen murmured in his sleep, his eyes still closed. "My head feels dizzy, and my body is so hot... You're so cool and refreshing... Let me hold you."

"How is this possible?" Xiao Zhiqing couldn't believe what was happening. Yang Chen wasn't supposed to be conscious.

Had she not administered the drug correctly? Could the potency have diminished after being stored in the refrigerator?

Without time to dwell on it, Xiao Zhiqing struggled to free herself from Yang Chen's iron grip, but his arms were like steel bars, holding her tightly. She didn't even have enough room to pull her leg free.

"This scoundrel, why is he so strong?" Xiao Zhiqing's eyes flashed with a hint of malice. She had already endured so much; she might as well take back some control. With a cold smile, she said, "Fine, if you won't let go, then I'll just give you a dose of 'Shixiang Soft Bone Powder.' Let's see if you still have the strength to cause trouble!"

With that, Xiao Zhiqing placed the camera on the bedside table, opened the drawer, and took out a seemingly ordinary white ceramic bottle. She carefully brought the bottle close to Yang Chen's nose and mouth.

Once the bottle was in place, Xiao Zhiqing quickly removed the red stopper, making sure to position it right near Yang Chen's nostrils.

"You lecherous pig, let's see if you still have the strength to hold onto me now," Xiao Zhiqing scoffed, sealing the bottle and tossing it back into the drawer.

But just as she thought she could easily slip out of Yang Chen's grasp, she was shocked to find that his arms were still firmly holding onto her!

Xiao Zhiqing's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked down at the man lying on the bed, only to freeze in place!

Because at that moment, Yang Chen had already lifted his head, staring at her with a mysterious, unreadable smile.

"Zhiqing, you're so heartless. I trusted you so much. The first time we met, I spent money and effort for you, throwing away millions without even gaining anything substantial in return. First, you had someone threaten me with a gun, and now you've even tried to poison me. Tsk, tsk, I heard you mention 'Shixiang Soft Bone Powder.' That sounds pretty potent. Were you planning to cripple me?" Yang Chen said, feigning a hurt expression.

"No, it's impossible," Xiao Zhiqing stammered, shaking her head in disbelief. Her heart sank as she realized she had gone from the hunter to the hunted!

"You seem disappointed that I didn't get poisoned," Yang Chen said with a wicked grin. "Let me comfort you."

Before Xiao Zhiqing could react, she suddenly felt herself being lifted effortlessly into the air. Yang Chen spun her around and tossed her onto the large bed!

Before she could resist, Yang Chen had already pinned her down, their bodies pressed tightly together, their faces so close that their breaths mingled, warm and moist.

With this close contact, Yang Chen was fully in touch with the soft, delicate body beneath him. Xiao Zhiqing's skin was exceptionally smooth, and every inch of her felt incredibly soft. Her body seemed to exude a coolness, even through the towel robe, that made it feel as if she were covered in a thin layer of cold water.

Her long, black hair, still slightly damp, spread across the white sheets, framing her flushed, wine-red cheeks. Her beautiful eyes glistened with unshed tears, and it finally dawned on her that from the very beginning, this man had seen through her intentions. He had been playing her all along!

From initial panic to stubborn denial, all that remained now was a burning anger! How could she have been so thoroughly tricked?!

Yang Chen lowered his head, pressing his lips against the cool, smooth skin of her neck, sliding them down to her ear, where he lightly nipped at her delicate earlobe.

The combination of tingling sensations and the warm breath laced with the fragrance of red wine sent shivers through Xiao Zhiqing's body, which she couldn't suppress.

"So, you were pretending all along," Xiao Zhiqing said, choking back tears of humiliation.

"Miss Zhiqing, your body feels like tender tofu in water. I've never encountered a woman so soft and cool. You're the most valuable treasure I've come across today," Yang Chen remarked, his tone full of amazement.

"Shameless!" Xiao Zhiqing spat in anger.

Yang Chen shrugged nonchalantly. "I haven't done anything yet. It was you who brought me to this point. If you had just handed over the money peacefully, I would have given you the two items, and we'd be done. But no, you had to poison me twice and take photos as souvenirs, so I had no choice but to fight back."

"Hmph, if you didn't have bad intentions, you wouldn't have started groping me as soon as we met," Xiao Zhiqing retorted.

"I'm just a normal man. It's not every day I get a chance to meet such a beauty and talk about life. If I didn't make a move, I'd be a hypocrite. I'm not a great villain, but I'm no gentleman either. Just a little touch won't make you pregnant," Yang Chen said with a grin. "Besides, I don't mind if you touch me back. I'm very generous."

"You scoundrel!" Xiao Zhiqing was furious, wanting nothing more than to kick him off, but Yang Chen held her down tightly. Any movement only made her more vulnerable to his advances.

"Go ahead, scream a little more. The more you scream, the more exciting it is."

"What do you want?!" Xiao Zhiqing finally couldn't hold back her fear.

"Me?" Yang Chen said with an easy smile. "Since you've tried to harm me multiple times, I can't just let you off easily. It's rare to find such a good bedmate, and since neither of us are saints, there's no need to hold back. How could I let this opportunity slip by?"

"You..."

Yang Chen became excited and no longer cared about the murderous look in the woman's eyes. His hands reached for the collar of her chest, eager to bury his face in it.

Just as he was about to act, Xiao Zhiqing's expression suddenly turned fierce. Her freed, pale white arms shot up, and with her fingers gathered with energy, she jabbed at the exact spots on Yang Chen's hands with precision!

Yang Chen didn't block her; he allowed her fingers to strike two different positions on his wrists and palms with force.

Xiao Zhiqing thought she had succeeded, but after landing the hits, she realized that Yang Chen was merely looking at her with a gaze full of growing interest, his smile even broader.

"Miss Zhiqing, you truly keep surprising me. First, it was the knockout powder 'As If in a Dream,' then the unheard-of 'Ten Fragrance Soft Bone Powder,' and now, you've used acupressure techniques to strike my Quichi and Hegu points, two major pain points. If it weren't for the fact that Miss Zhiqing has no internal energy, I would have thought I encountered a female disciple of some ancient martial sect and worried that I might provoke a bunch of old nuns and Taoist priests to come after me," Yang Chen said, sounding rather impressed.

Xiao Zhiqing stared at Yang Chen in a daze for a moment before she blurted out, "Were you sent by that old man?!"

"Hmm? What old man?" Yang Chen was puzzled.

A trace of panic flashed in Xiao Zhiqing's eyes, but it was quickly overtaken by bitterness and coldness. "Stop pretending. You know about internal energy and ancient martial sects. Even if I don't have internal energy, no ordinary person could be unaffected by my acupressure. You must have been sent by that old man to capture me, right? Or are you here on behalf of the Luo family to take me back?"

Yang Chen was even more confused, but he had a rough idea that this woman had escaped from somewhere. However, since she wasn't his woman and it was just a fleeting encounter, he didn't want to meddle too much. He shrugged and said, "I can only tell you that I have nothing to do with what you're talking about. Right now, I just want to spend half a day rolling in bed with you. As for the rest, I neither know nor care. I advise you not to resist. You can't run away, and I don't want to be too rough. Since you didn't seize the chance to escape from me peacefully, then just quietly accept my little revenge."

"Hmph," Xiao Zhiqing suddenly let out a cold, elegant laugh, looking at Yang Chen with a mocking expression. "It seems you really weren't sent by them. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so eager to court death."

Yang Chen laughed heartily. "If there's anything that could stop me now, it would be my wife rushing in to glare at me. Otherwise, even if you know some incredibly powerful expert, I wouldn't bother to care."

"Having a wife yet still out here chasing after women, men truly are no good," Xiao Zhiqing looked at him with increasing disdain.

Yang Chen scratched his head awkwardly. "Heh, heh, well, it's because I'm thinking of buying a gift at the auction today to bring back to my beloved wife that I ended up in this mess. It's your fault for disturbing my otherwise peaceful spring day, forcing me to do bad things so quickly. A sin, a sin..."

"Cowardly, and you even push the blame onto a woman," Xiao Zhiqing glanced at him contemptuously and turned her head away. "You want my body? Take it, but I warn you, you won't even know how you die."

Seeing the woman had given up resistance but was still waiting for a show, Yang Chen mumbled a few words and then carefully looked her over from her face downwards.

Gradually, a trace of surprise appeared in Yang Chen's eyes. "Huh, strange... Miss Zhiqing, why do you have so many lethal poisons in your body? That's odd... Any one of these poisons would be enough to kill thousands, yet you're perfectly fine. How is that possible?"

Xiao Zhiqing whipped her head around, her gaze as sharp as a blade of ice. "How do you know that?"

"You were talking so big, so of course I had to see what the secret was," Yang Chen said with a shrug.

"You can see that just by looking?" Xiao Zhiqing's expression finally turned serious, her voice trembling. "Who exactly are you?!"
