Such a coward, so useless, yet still so eager!

Lu Chi: [Guagua, you told me to take a shortcut through here, but now tell me, where's the path? There's no path at all.]

Guagua: [System crash in progress. Let me think...]

Lu Chi: [Quit pretending. Tell me, where's the path?]

Guagua sang a cappella: [May I ask where the road lies? The road lies beneath your feet, la-la~ la-la-la-la-la~~~]

Lu Chi: [One more word of nonsense and I'll unbind you. Try me.]

Guagua, frightened: [Host, I was wrong~ Go left. There's a corner. See it? Turn that corner and walk another two meters or so, and you'll see the way into the factory.]

Lu Chi followed the directions and reached a dilapidated wall, but found no passage.

There was only a...

Dog hole... surrounded by weeds.

Lu Chi: [Do I have to crawl through here? Isn't there any other way?]

Guagua: [There's no other way, Host. This is the only place you can squeeze through. There are walls on three sides of the factory, and bodyguards guarding the front. If you don't go through here, there's nowhere else to get in.]

Lu Chi said nothing and planted both hands on his hips.

He gazed up at the heavens for thirteen seconds.

To think that he, a strapping eight-foot man.

Tall, broad, and handsome.

And loaded, too. (Ah, loaded with "seed.")

Would actually have to crawl through a dog hole today to save his eldest sister, Lu Sangning.

Ah, what a tale of snot and tears.

Guagua: [Get crawling, Host. If you don't crawl into that hole soon, someone's going to crawl into your eldest sister.]

Lu Chi: [...]

Lu Chi crouched on the ground, found a stick, and poked around inside the hole a few times.

Only after making sure there were no snakes or rats inside.

Did he slowly curl up his body and crawl in.

He crawled and crawled.

For half a meter.

He emerged into a dust-filled room, the dust irritating his nose and filling his mouth. He didn't dare cough, so he could only hold it in.

Only after forcing himself to take a few deep breaths did he suppress the urge to cough.

[Host, your eldest sister, Lu Sangning, is being held in the easternmost room of the factory. It used to be a cold storage room.]

Lu Chi: [Huh, cold storage? Don't tell me it was used to freeze people? You know, that, that...]

Guagua: [Host, what are you thinking? It was used to freeze pork. Oh, Host, don't go straight into the cold storage room. You need to go up to the second floor. Look down from the innermost part of the second floor, and you'll be able to see the entire cold storage room.]

Lu Chi: [Where's that scumbag Zhang Yong?]

Guagua: [Zhang Yong took a pill to get hard twenty minutes ago. He's waiting for it to kick in now.]

Lu Chi: [Hahaha, what a coward! Such a coward, so useless, yet still so eager!]

Under Guagua's guidance, Lu Chi twisted and turned like a burglar breaking into a house, finally reaching the spot Guagua had designated.

Looking down from upstairs, he could indeed see everything in the cold storage room.

In the very center of the room, Lu Sangning was tied to a battered wooden stool, a handkerchief stuffed into her mouth.

Even bound, Lu Sangning was breathtakingly beautiful, with an unmistakably aristocratic air.

Only her hair was a little disheveled.

"Mmph, mmph~" Lu Sangning twisted her body, struggling nonstop.

Lu Chi watched from a distance upstairs, not daring to make the slightest rash move.

He had already called the police, anyway. They should be on their way.

As long as Lu Sangning wasn't in any danger, he would keep watching for now.

Just then, Zhang Yong walked into the cold storage room with a stony face.

He walked up to Lu Sangning and yanked the handkerchief from her mouth.

With her mouth clear, Lu Sangning took several great gulps of fresh air that tasted of dust.

She shouted, "Zhang Yong, what are you trying to do? Let me go right now!"

Zhang Yong's chest heaved. With a hand pressed to his forehead, he turned in an agitated circle.

He struggled to suppress his emotions for several seconds, but ultimately failed.

Turning toward Lu Sangning, he roared:

"Lu Sangning, all I did was make the same mistake every man in the world makes. Why can't you forgive me? Huh?"

"Sure, I gave my body to Zou Nana, but don't you understand why I did it? Because I have needs!"

"I'm a fucking normal man! We dated for three and a half years, and you wouldn't let me have you even once! What was I supposed to do when I wanted it?"

"Every night I spent using my hand to jerk... off alone, do you know how I got through it? I was really suffering, suffering so much. I desperately needed a woman to ravage!"

"Besides, even if I gave her my body, my heart was with you. You're the one I love. Isn't that enough?"

"Why can't you understand? Why can't you forgive me?"

"Tell me! Say something!"

"Lu Sangning, fucking answer me! Am I right or not?"

Standing on the second floor, Lu Chi listened to Zhang Yong's impassioned declaration.

He covered his mouth, barely stopping himself from laughing until his sides split.

Guagua: [Careful, Host. Don't laugh out loud, or that scumbag will discover you.]

Lu Chi shook his head: [Tsk, tsk, tsk. So shameless. So despicable. This is the first time I've ever seen someone make cheating sound so fresh and refined!]

Downstairs, Lu Sangning was startled.

Why can I hear Lu Chi's voice?

Did Lu Chi come here?

Lu Sangning listened carefully again.

Apart from Zhang Yong's angry, rapid breathing, she couldn't hear anything.

Lu Sangning thought with a touch of self-mockery, Why would I think of Lu Chi at a time like this?

How could he possibly come here?

I must be hallucinating.

With a sigh, Lu Sangning felt a vast wave of despair well up inside her.

Someone had drugged her coffee while she was drinking at a café, knocking her out. When she woke up, she was here.

Her family had no idea she had been kidnapped.

By the time they noticed she hadn't come home that evening and called her, she feared... it would already be too late.

Now, she could only pin her hopes on Lu Chi's inner voice happening to mention her while the family ate dinner together, allowing them to follow his thoughts and find her.

But... the chances of that were so slim!

At that thought, tears nearly spilled from Lu Sangning's eyes, but her pride wouldn't let her cry.

She tilted her head back, letting the tears flow back into her eyes.

Parting her lips slightly, she sighed.

Then she put on an icy expression again.

Zhang Yong hated that icy look of hers more than anything.

"Lu Sangning, stop looking at me with that icy face all the time! You make it seem like I'm utterly worthless!"

"I feel inferior to the extreme in front of you, but for the sake of my plan, I still had to put up with you and accommodate you!"

"But I'm done putting up with it! Who the fuck are you pretending to be so noble for? In a moment, I'll have you begging for mercy beneath me!"

Lu Sangning cursed, "Zhang Yong, you scumbag! Let me go right now, and I can let everything that happened today slide! Otherwise, the Lu Family will make you pay!"

"Hahahahaha!" Zhang Yong suddenly burst into crazed laughter. "The Lu Family? Hahahahaha! That's right, the Lu Family is powerful. They issued an order banning cooperation with the Zhang Family, leaving my family with nothing."

"But now, I want to see whether a worn-out shoe I've played with still has any clout in the Lu Family! I refuse to believe you'll still be able to attend meetings, work, and sign contracts with company bosses with that icy face of yours! Huh?... Hahahahahaha!"

Zhang Yong's words frightened Lu Sangning.

Lu Sangning changed her tone. "Zhang Yong, as long as you let me go, I'll have my dad lift the ban on cooperation."

"Too late!"

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Yong forcibly lifted Lu Sangning's chin, making her tilt her head back to look at him.

"Zhang Yong, let go of me!" Lu Sangning struggled desperately.

Zhang Yong bent down and went to kiss her face.

Lu Sangning struggled hard, shaking her head from side to side to avoid Zhang Yong's foul mouth.

Zhang Yong tightened his grip on her chin.
