Chapter 407 - 397: Wait for Me to Come Over!
"Ruanqin, isn’t this cocktail only three-something percent alcohol? Why do I feel like I’m getting drunk? My head is spinning so much!"
Half an hour had passed, and the case of cocktails was not even finished, but Ou Mingsi was already clutching her head on the couch, feeling dizzy.
"No way. Can this Rio cocktail actually get someone drunk?" Lifting her drowsy eyelids, Du Ruanqing put down her microphone and walked over to the couch. She shook her head, then picked up a Rio cocktail and downed another one.
"Ruanqin, you don’t think we bought fake alcohol, do you? I’m so, so sleepy... I just want to sleep. I feel like I can’t even keep my eyelids open," Jiang Yino said weakly, resting her head on Ou Mingsi’s shoulder.
A wave of panic surged through her as soon as she spoke. What would happen if we actually passed out here? I don’t dare to imagine!
"Ruanqin, let’s go! I really can’t take it anymore. I want to sleep so, so badly!" Growing increasingly uneasy, Jiang Yino pulled out her phone.
Her subconscious drove her to call Qin Fan for help, but just as she unlocked the screen, her eyelids snapped shut and she passed out.
As Jiang Yino fell unconscious, Ou Mingsi slumped over as well, her eyes closing. Du Ruanqing lifted a finger, wanting to say something, but before a sound could escape her lips, she also collapsed onto the couch.
Of the four of them, only Xu Jiayi remained somewhat conscious, and only because she was pinching her own skin, hard.
She shook her head vigorously, exhaling sharply. Taking a deep breath, she glanced at her watch. "Damn it, why isn’t he here yet!"
However, just as the words left her mouth, the door to the private room was pushed open with a click. An impeccably dressed Du Tiancong walked in with a sinister smile on his face.
"Hello!" Du Tiancong said with a smile and a wave, his eyes sweeping over the three girls passed out on the couch before landing on Xu Jiayi.
"What took you so long!" Xu Jiayi rebuked weakly, struggling to keep her groggy eyes open.
"Didn’t we say an hour? The timing is perfect! What’s this? You took down three for me? Are you gifting me a ’one king, three queens’ scenario?" Du Tiancong said, chewing his gum with the swagger of a complete playboy.
"Get lost! This is only for Jiang Yino! Hurry up and get her out of here, now!" Xu Jiayi snorted, her eyes fixed on Du Tiancong.
"Fine, thanks! Next time you have a deal this good, call me! Haha!" Du Tiancong made a ’call me’ gesture and burst into laughter.
He walked over to the couch. His eyes shone with a predatory light as he sized up Jiang Yino, then he hefted her up and started carrying her out.
At that, Xu Jiayi could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the couch herself.
Just as Du Tiancong carried Jiang Yino out of the private room, a panicked, angry shout erupted from behind him.
"Stop!"
Hearing the shout, Du Tiancong paused. A woman’s voice? He turned, frowning. "Are you talking to me?"
"Let go of her! Now!" Amber’s body suddenly tensed, trembling slightly as horrified, murderous intent radiated from her.
What would my fate be if anything happened to Jiang Yino? With Qin Fan’s otherworldly Divine Skills, I dare not imagine the consequences! And now, I’ve clearly failed in my duty! I never imagined something like this could happen—four dorm mates out for karaoke and some Rio cocktails! I knew Du Tiancong had gone inside, but I never thought he was going in there to drag Jiang Yino out! If it weren’t for all the surveillance cameras here, Du Tiancong would be a dead man right now.
"Are you crazy? Get lost! She’s my girlfriend!" Du Tiancong retorted, though he was intimidated by the chill coming from Amber. Flustered and not daring to linger, he quickly turned and quickened his pace, trying to leave with Jiang Yino.
"You’re courting death!" Amber’s breathing grew ragged as she snarled.
Her fist clenched, and she surged forward. A vicious punch slammed into Du Tiancong’s back!
BANG!!!
Although Amber had controlled her strength so as not to kill him in public with a single punch, how could an ordinary person possibly withstand even a casual blow from a Dark Energy Martial Artist?
The force of the blow was devastating.
PTOO!
A mouthful of Essence Blood sprayed from Du Tiancong’s mouth as his entire body flew forward like a kicked ball.
Jiang Yino, who was being carried by him, started to topple sideways. But Amber, having already thrown the punch, moved swiftly to catch her before she hit the ground.
Amid the stunned stares of the people in the hallway, she shot a sinister, fierce glare at Du Tiancong, who was struggling to get back on his feet.
Qin Fan had ordered me to kill anyone who dared to harm Jiang Yino without hesitation. But in a situation like this, kill Du Tiancong? I fear it would not only bring trouble on me but would implicate Jiang Yino as well.
Gritting her teeth, she ignored the gawking onlookers and quickly helped Jiang Yino back into their private room.
Amber checked Jiang Yino’s pulse and then lifted her eyelids, her own brow immediately furrowing. Her pulse is steady, and her pupils are normal. She hasn’t been drugged. So how could this weak, soda-like cocktail knock someone out? And all of them at once?
Harboring this baffling mystery, Amber gently laid Jiang Yino flat on the sofa. Then, with trembling hands and palpable fear, she pulled out her phone and dialed Qin Fan’s number.
"Speak!"
In his dorm, Qin Fan had been listening to Li Qiuzhe boast. Seeing Amber’s call, he immediately stepped out onto the balcony and answered, his voice low.
"Mr. Qin, I’m sorry! I failed in my duty, and something has happened to Miss Jiang!" Inside the private room, Amber’s facial muscles trembled as she swallowed hard, her voice shaking.
Yino is in trouble? Hearing this, Qin Fan’s eyes instantly turned icy. A boundless, explosive rage surged through him, accompanied by a chilling, murderous intent.
"Where?" Suppressing emotions that threatened to erupt, Qin Fan’s voice was low—almost a whisper, but deeply unsettling.
"Candy House KTV, not far from Jinling University. Private room V11. Miss Jiang is unconscious, passed out from drinking! I have her lying on the sofa for now," Amber said, her voice quivering.
"I’m on my way." His voice was as deep and terrifying as a Purgatory Shura’s. He threw down those four words, then hastily ended the call and rushed out.
"Fourth Bro, what’s wrong?" Seeing the drastic change in Qin Fan after the phone call, everyone in dorm 708 was stunned. Li Qiuzhe exclaimed, his eyes wide.
"It’s nothing, I just have to go out for a bit! You guys carry on!" Qin Fan forced a smile and quickly walked toward the door.
But as soon as the words were out, Li Qiuzhe and the others shot to their feet and followed him.
"Fourth Bro, something is definitely wrong! We’re brothers, we have to face it together!"
Qin Fan paused. Without turning around, his back still to them, he said, "There’s no need. You all stay here."
With that, he pulled the door open and left.
