Over the years, Chen Feng had been surrounded by all sorts of wealthy women, and had developed a keen sense of observation and sensitivity. Only in this way could he ensure that he gained the trust of these women. At this moment, Chen Feng realized that something was wrong.

Looking at Chu Lan, whom he could now manipulate at will, Chen Feng felt a pang of regret. He hardened his heart and quietly jumped out of the window to leave.

"Where is he?" Zhao Jing rushed over in a panic.

The waiter who knocked on the door said, "He's still inside; no one answers the door."

Zhao Jing burst out cursing, "Are you all idiots? The person is inside, so why don't you hurry up and figure out a way to open them!"

The waiter didn't dare to say a word and hurriedly called over several burly men to break down the door and enter. Zhao Jing rushed in first.

There were two empty wine glasses on the table. She then quickly asked them to open the door inside. When Zhao Jing went in, she found that only Chu Lan was there, lying on the bed with his body limp and powerless.

"Idol, are you alright?" Zhao Jing rushed over anxiously and helped her up.

Chu Lan shook her head; the effects of the medicine hadn't worn off yet, and she felt completely weak.

Zhao Jing first checked Chu Lan's clothes and only felt relieved after confirming that they were not damaged.

"Didn't you say he was inside? Where is he?" Zhao Jing questioned.

The waiter nervously pointed to the window, which was wide open, letting in gusts of drafty air.

"Surround the hotel first!"

After Zhao Jing gave the order, Xu Tian arrived, panting heavily.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

Chu Lan couldn't speak, so Zhao Jing had to speak instead.

"She's fine. She probably realized something was wrong and jumped out of the window to run away."

Xu Tian looked at Chu Lan with concern, "Then she..."

Zhao Jing explained, "She was probably drugged. I've already had the wine glass she drank from tested. Let's take her to the hospital first."

Just then, Zhao Pengfei arrived with Zhao Lei.

Chu Lan was a top figure they were trying to curry favor with, so if something happened to him at their hotel, it would be a real problem. Therefore, Zhao Pengfei was extremely nervous.

"Are you alright, Mr. Chu? How dare you do such a despicable thing in my hotel! I will definitely give you an explanation!"

Xu Tian paid no attention to Zhao Pengfei's superficial gestures and carried Chu Lan out.

Zhao Jing then said, "Dad, don't worry, she's alright."

Zhao Pengfei looked at her with resentment, "You too, why didn't you tell me sooner? President Chu is the cash cow of our Zhao family. If this matter is investigated later, wouldn't it just cause trouble for the Zhao family?"

Zhao Jing was anxious to go to the hospital, so she gave a perfunctory reply and left.

After everyone had left, Zhao Lei whispered, "Dad, the Mei Yi Group in Jiangcheng is now no worse than the Xu Group. We've tried so many times to get Chu Lan to eat, but she won't even take a meal. Should we switch to a bigger company?"

Zhao Pengfei pondered for a moment before saying, "I'm still observing whether Meiyi Group can rival Xu's Group. Before we know their true strength, let's be conservative."

Zhao Lei then said, "Dad, I've already had people inquire about these things. Mei Yi Group is a conglomerate in South Korea, and it controls 40% of the South Korean economy."

"The Xu Group is only dominant in Jiangcheng. Even if we're not in a hurry to establish friendly cooperation, we can pave the way in advance and get closer to each other first..."

Zhao Pengfei thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

"Since you brought it up, then I'll leave it to you. If you do a good job, I'll let you inherit the Zhao Group within three years!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lei's eyes lit up. What he craved most was power and the wealth that power brought!

People's Hospital.

That beast Chen Feng actually drugged Chu Lan. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and after clearing her stomach and intestines, Chu Lan recovered.

"Are you still feeling unwell?" Xu Tian asked, holding her hand as he stayed by her side.

Chu Lan looked at him earnestly, "My innocence is still intact; it has not been defiled by him!"

Xu Tian suddenly felt a pang of sadness. His biggest concern was her health. Even if Chu Lan were defiled, he would never take it to heart or blame her.

“I know…” Xu Tian said, on the verge of tears.

Chu Lan was relieved. "Fortunately, Zhao Jing arrived in time. We must thank her properly!"

Xu Tian nodded seriously, "Of course, she... really helped us a lot..."

Speak of the devil, and he appears; Zhao Jing also arrived.

"Idol, are you alright? Are you feeling better?"

Chu Lan smiled and nodded, "Much better now, thank you. I don't know what I would have done without you!"

Zhao Jing's face flushed instantly. This was her idol, thanking her! She felt incredibly happy.

Overjoyed, Zhao Jing gave Xu Tian a wink and went out. Xu Tian understood and told Chu Lan to rest well before following her out.

"What's wrong?" Xu Tian asked suspiciously.

Zhao Jing frowned. "I found that beast Chen Feng, but..."

"Speak directly!"

Xu Tian's expression changed drastically, and the coldness in his eyes reached its very core.

Zhao Jing then said, "He seems to have connections with the Meiyi Group. He's currently with the Meiyi Group, so I can't show my face."

Xu Tian understood. After all, Zhao Jing was the daughter of the Zhao Group. If she barged in and demanded the person from the Mei Yi Group, it would likely make enemies for the Zhao Group. Therefore, it was only right that she didn't let her anger cloud her judgment and go in.

But he's different. Mei Yi Group came for the Xu Group and they're rivals, so he's not afraid of offending anyone. On the contrary, if Mei Yi Group dares to protect Chen Feng, he wouldn't mind using his mother's methods to destroy Mei Yi Group!

Thinking of this, Xu Tian asked again, "Can you stay here with her?"

Zhao Jing knew what Xu Tian wanted to do, and knew she couldn't stop him. After giving her a complicated look, she silently went inside.

Meiyi Group.

Chen Feng scrambled to Lin Wan'er like a rat crossing the street, begging her to protect him out of consideration for their cooperation with Hengtong Group.

After learning the reason for the incident, Lin Wan'er immediately ordered Xiao Qi to beat Chen Feng up.

Chu Lan is not only the leader of the Xu Group, but also her sister in name. Even if she dislikes Chu Lan, it is not up to a good-for-nothing to humiliate him!

Chen Feng was brutally beaten, but he thought it was retaliation for causing trouble for Lin Wan'er, and didn't think that far ahead.

"I'm asking you, who made you think Chu Lan and I are related by blood?"

Chen Feng remained silent, afraid that he would be beaten to death if he said the wrong thing.

Lin Wan'er snorted coldly, "Speak, and I promise I won't hit you."

Chen Feng then cautiously said, "It was Zhang Qian. She doesn't know what possessed her to think that you two look alike, and she asked me to use this to ruin Chu Lan."

"But that's impossible. You are of noble status, how could you possibly be related to an orphan like Chu Lan by blood?"

Lin Wan'er sighed, "Hit me again!"
