Chapter 1412 - 1406: Drugged
Lin Chuan also freed himself from the earlier awkwardness, but his gaze was still irresistibly drawn to Mu Hong, and he said, "Honestly speaking, it's my first time here. Although I've heard about it before, I only made it here thanks to you this time; it really lives up to its reputation."
"Oh? Mr. Lin, it's your first time here?" Mu Hong was a bit surprised. Jiangbei City has many so-called "successful individuals," but Lin Chuan is already one of the top few, especially considering his young age.
This place is precisely where many "successful individuals" go for the most prestigious exchanges; even if there's no need, they come a few times every month just for appearances.
In this light, Lin Chuan seems like a very practical person who isn't interested in false fame.
"Indeed, Miss Mu, you seem to come here often." Lin Chuan said with a smile.
Mu Hong chuckled softly and shook her head, saying, "I personally can't afford to come to such a place; each time I'm here, it's by invitation or for a special interview, or when someone is holding a press conference here."
Originally, Lin Chuan invited Mu Hong intending to figure out her exact relationship with Mu Bai, but the two ended up chatting about such "idle" topics and thoroughly enjoying it.
It was rare for Lin Chuan to see Mu Hong smile a few times, and in this environment, her smile had an entrancing allure.
Several times, he realized his current state was somewhat dangerous, seemingly about to lead to something disloyal to Tang Yumeng. Yet he couldn't bear to ruin the current atmosphere.
"Here, in such an environment, tasting this green tea is the most flavorful." Mu Hong personally showcased her tea brewing skills in front of him.
Watching Mu Hong bring over a porcelain tea bowl, Lin Chuan smiled and reached out to take it.
The tea bowls were very petite; one hand could hold four of them. Moreover, Mu Hong handed it with both hands, so Lin Chuan, out of courtesy, also reached out with both hands.
As could be expected, while receiving the tea, Lin Chuan's hand inadvertently touched Mu Hong's delicate hand.
As the two hands met, an indescribable sensation instantly passed between them. Lin Chuan felt the awkwardness in the air and hurriedly took the tea so Mu Hong could withdraw her hand.
Yet both found themselves unsure how to reconnect to the previous conversation, and the atmosphere fell silent. But amidst the silence, the inexplicable ambiguity not only didn't diminish but seemed to grow.
"Ahem, Miss Mu, I think we should get to the main topic first." Lin Chuan broke the silence, striving to ignore the lingering fragrance on his hand.
"Mr. Lin, today we'll only chat casually, no other matters." Mu Hong said with a smile.
Lin Chuan was taken aback, unsure what to say next.
In the entertainment venue, Lin Chuan spent nearly two hours with Mu Hong, trying several times to steer the conversation toward Mu Bai, only for Mu Hong to deftly redirect the topic.
The more Mu Hong did so, the more Lin Chuan's suspicions grew. It seemed Tang Yumeng's words were indeed correct; there must be some connection between Mu Hong and Mu Bai.
After leaving the entertainment venue and parting with Mu Hong, Lin Chuan didn't leave but instead drove to follow Mu Hong.
Mu Hong entered a bar, drank for more than an hour, and then left the bar, taking a taxi to a hotel entrance.
Lin Chuan knew this hotel well; just a few days ago, the celebration banquet for Chuan University was held here.
Mu Hong arrived at the hotel entrance but didn't enter, instead standing at the door as if waiting for someone.
Lin Chuan watched from afar, suddenly catching sight of three shadows flicker at the periphery of his vision!
"Who are those sneaky people over there?" Lin Chuan muttered suspiciously.
Under normal circumstances, he might not pay attention, but tonight, given the location, he couldn't help being cautious.
Getting out of the car, Lin Chuan quietly moved towards that direction, his movements silent yet swift.
Soon, the three shadows reappeared within his sight.
As they reached a corner in the parking area, two more shadows approached them.
"How did it go, brother? We saw that woman coming over earlier!" One of the prior three said to the two newcomers.
One newcomer responded, "Relax, boss; can't we handle one woman? Even though she drank, she tried resisting, so I directly drugged her!"
"Good job, you guys didn't act prematurely, right?" the initial speaker asked.
One of the men chuckled wickedly, "Boss, we wouldn't dare act prematurely. Even if we wanted a taste, we'd wait until you finish the main course."
Hearing this, Lin Chuan was furious; these people intended to assault Mu Hong and commit such a despicable act!
Lin Chuan did not act immediately but instead decided to observe their next move.
A few guys walked to the hotel entrance, and suddenly two of them rushed at Mu Hong from left and right, grabbing her.
Though Mu Hong had drunk quite a lot, she still managed to struggle a bit, but the disparity in strength compared to these men was too great, and she screamed in fright.
However, just as they were about to make a move, Lin Chuan suddenly charged up, and before those men realized what was happening, he kicked the heads of two men in black!
The screams from behind caught the attention of the remaining three, but just as they turned their heads, they saw a fist rapidly expanding in their vision. In that instant, Lin Chuan had already leaped in front of them, delivering three punches!
When dealing with these scumbags, Lin Chuan showed no restraint, using the most ruthless means.
With just one strike, these three scumbags could no longer stand up.
"Mu..." he called out one syllable, Lin Chuan abruptly realized and didn't say her name.
Media personnel might not be celebrities, but their image is extremely important. If others knew about her encounter here, besides sympathy, there would surely be various criticisms.
Furiously kicking each of the three once more, Lin Chuan took advantage of nobody noticing to first take Mu Hong to a safe place.
Not knowing where her home was, Lin Chuan reluctantly had to support her into the hotel.
Supporting Mu Hong inside the hotel, he first asked for a room card, then helped her walk towards the room.
Lin Chuan chose the room closest to the outside, plus her head was always resting on his shoulder, so she shouldn't be seen by cameras or anything and stir up trouble.
Initially, Mu Hong could still see Lin Chuan's face, even drunkenly smiled to thank him. Just when Lin Chuan marveled at the woman's strong nerves, she became increasingly confused. Moreover, her body was terrifyingly hot.
Thinking about those thugs saying they gave her some "medicine," Lin Chuan could hardly believe the consequences of arriving a bit late.
But now he was the one suffering. Her sexy figure, smooth and scorching skin clung to him, the thin clothing on the outside couldn't block the heat permeating through. His arm and waist felt like nearly skin-to-skin contact, her breath entirely sprayed on his neck, exuding an intoxicating feminine scent.
Finally making it into the room, Lin Chuan laid Mu Hong on the bed and quickly got up to pour her a glass of water, hoping to make her a bit sober.
However, just as he supported her neck to help her drink water, Mu Hong suddenly grabbed his neck!
"So hot! I'm so hot!"
The softness in front pressed entirely against Lin Chuan's body, her breath sprayed on his ear, bringing a particularly itchy feeling.
Especially with the beauty before him completely unguarded, no, even in a state of passionate invitation, Lin Chuan, having also drunk a bit, felt his defenses quickly crumbling.
"Mu Hong, come to your senses, it's Lin Chuan!" Lin Chuan struggled to push Mu Hong away, but unexpectedly, during their tussle, the water in the cup spilled out, soaking her thin shirt entirely. The originally open-necked shirt now clung to her body, exposing the amazing curves of her upper half.
"I know you're Mr. Lin, that's why I want to spend the night with you." Mu Hong's eyes brimmed like silk, completely different from her usual style, though at least she retained a hint of sobriety now.
But this was even more lethal to Lin Chuan.
If she was completely muddled by the "medicine" now, he could still find some excuse, suppressing his desire from a rational height.
But now knowing who he is and still tempting him like this, what can he rely on to suppress his desire? Moreover, he wasn't entirely without affection for Mu Hong!
"Mr. Lin, don't you know, this time I've been completely conquered by you. You're the most perfect man I've ever met. I also want to call you Lin Chuan like Tang Yumeng, and also want a man like you to dote on me, do you understand?"
Lin Chuan felt her lips getting closer to him, yet he had no strength to push her away, an intense heat rapidly surged between the two, Lin Chuan forgot everything, except for the woman before him.
The clothes of both were tossed everywhere, soon the entire room filled with seductive moaning.
Sunlight shot through the curtains onto the bed, where a snow-white and lazy alluring body lay with a sweet smile watching Lin Chuan sleeping beside her.
"Thank you."
Lin Chuan already had such "experience" once before, and he didn't regret last night's events now.
"You're welcome, it's just a pity those scumbags didn't receive enough punishment last night."
"That's not what I'm talking about, I'm saying," Mu Hong had completely shed her usual arrogance, transforming into a coquettish little woman, "I'm saying, yesterday felt wonderful."
One sentence! Especially a sentence from Mu Hong of such caliber evoked Lin Chuan's desire again. The enjoyment wasn't solely Mu Hong's last night, Lin Chuan also felt extremely satisfied.
Of course, since the fire was lit, naturally one seeks to climb the "higher fulfillment" realm.
With a scream from Mu Hong, Lin Chuan flipped over and pinned her underneath again.
