After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"What happened to Director Song?"

Upon arriving at the location sent by Jiang Nuai, Ye Bai spotted her immediately.

They were hiding under a big tree, looking rather furtive.

Ye Bai told Shen Lu to wait in the car, then quickly walked over and asked, somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Nuai hadn't explained it clearly on the phone before, and he's still confused.

"Director Song is inside, with Director Hua..."

Upon seeing Ye Bai, Jiang Nuai visibly breathed a sigh of relief, pointed ahead, and whispered.

Ye Bai followed Jiang Nuai's finger and saw that it was actually a bar.

Two people were sitting by the window; one was Song Fuling, and the other was someone they knew.

Hua Zhenghao is the head of the Department of Clinical Medicine at the Medical School.

"...How did these two end up together?"

Ye Bai opened his eyes wide, his expression somewhat strange.

Having worked at the medical school for some time now, Ye Bai had heard quite a bit of gossip.

Among them are those about Song Fuling and Hua Zhenghao.

Because of her outstanding appearance and figure, Song Fuling was very popular at the medical school.

The students were alright, since they had the desire but not the courage, but the teachers were a different story.

Many people fantasize about having a wonderful story with this beautiful and charming mature woman.

Hua Zhenghao is a representative figure among this group of old perverts.

Because he was divorced and was a leader, Hua Zhenghao would often fawn over Song Fuling.

Unfortunately, Song Fuling was completely indifferent to him and even disliked him, never showing him any kindness.

So under normal circumstances, it would be the limit for these two to sit at the same table in the school cafeteria to eat together. How could they possibly go to a bar for a date and drinks in private?

Was Song Fuling, the beautiful director, just pretending to be cold towards Hua Zhenghao to avoid being found out by her colleagues?

Privately, however, the two were deeply passionate and engaged in various intimate exchanges.

That's not impossible, after all, they are both department heads, and they have to be mindful of their image.

Even if they are all divorced and single, they cannot act recklessly on campus.

But if that's really the case, then it's perfectly normal for people to go on dates, so why did Jiang Nuai call him over in such a hurry?

To break up a loving couple? But he's not Song Fuling's father.

Sensing Ye Bai's questioning gaze, Jiang Nuai quickly said, "I saw Director Hua pour something into Director Song's cup, and then Director Song acted strangely after drinking it..."

"Drug?"

Ye Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Jiang Nu'ai with a strange expression, asking, "Are you following them?"

This bar isn't near the medical school, and it's quite far from District 8, so it's impossible that Jiang Nuai saw it by chance while passing by.

"I was on my way to see Director Song after get off work, but when I got to her building, I saw her coming to the bar while on the phone..."

Jiang Nuai spoke quickly, and fortunately, she was already quite familiar with Ye Bai, and since she was talking about other people's affairs, she spoke fluently without stuttering, which was rare.

The matter was not complicated. Song Fuling's home was near the bar, so Jiang Nuai followed her there, wanting to ask why she hadn't been to work these past few days and if something had happened at home.

After all, we've come all this way; we can't just run back without saying a word.

But Song Fuling was on the phone the whole time, and Jiang Nuai didn't dare to disturb her, so she just watched as she walked into the bar.

Hua Zhenghao was already waiting there. After exchanging a few words, the two ordered two cocktails.

Throughout the process, Song Fuling's expression remained cold, and she even appeared somewhat angry.

Hua Zhenghao, however, had a lecherous grin on his face.

This made Jiang Nuai even more hesitant to go in, as disturbing someone's date was clearly very impolite.

Just as Jiang Nuai was about to leave, Song Fuling also got up and went to the restroom.

At this moment, Hua Zhenghao secretly took out a small bottle from his pocket and poured the liquid inside into Song Fuling's wine.

This kind of behavior, which clearly had ill intentions, was something even a dim-witted girl like Shen Lu would know was definitely not a good thing, let alone Jiang Nuai, who had received professional training in Nanhuo Town.

Actually, this situation is easy to handle. Jiang Nuai just needs to call Song Fuling and tell her that there is something wrong with that glass of wine.

Any other normal person would have done the same.

But Jiang Ai is not normal; she suffers from severe social anxiety.

So after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't make the call in the end, and instead watched helplessly as Song Fuling drank that glass of wine.

So, feeling both anxious and frustrated, Jiang Nuai could only keep comforting herself and praying that there was nothing wrong with the wine.

But a few minutes later, Jiang Nuai realized that her prayers had clearly been in vain.

Song Fuling began to feel drowsy, and her eyes were almost unable to open, which was a clear sign that the medicine was taking effect.

In a panic, Jiang Nuai knew what to do in this situation and could only call Ye Bai for help.

"..."

After hearing this, Ye Bai was speechless.

He really wanted to say, shouldn't you have called the police immediately in this situation? Or you could have rushed in, taken Song Fuling away, and sent her to the hospital.

With Hua Zhenghao's weak physique, how could you, a master of internal energy from an assassin training camp, be afraid of losing to him?

However, considering that Jiang Nuai's personality was just like that, and that she had only called him because she considered him a true friend, she could only shake her head and say, "Let's go, let's go in together."

Since he was already there, Ye Bai didn't bother calling the police.

Hua Zhenghao is such a scumbag that he doesn't even deserve a waste of police resources.

Just as Ye Bai and Jiang Nuai entered the bar, Hua Zhenghao got up and helped Song Fuling, who had completely fainted, to her feet.

The other people in the bar didn't notice anything unusual. There were always drunk people there, and it was not uncommon for them to be carried out, with countless others being helped up every day.

"Director Hua, what a coincidence! Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Let's have a couple of drinks together!"

Ye Bai stood in front of Hua Zhenghao and greeted him warmly.

"Ye Bai?"

Upon seeing Ye Bai and Jiang Nuai, Hua Zhenghao's expression changed drastically. He forced a smile and shook his head, saying, "Sorry, let's do it another day. We've already had enough to drink, and Fuling has drunk too much. I have to take her home."

When addressing Song Fuling, he was extremely affectionate, as if she were his girlfriend.

"No way! Haven't you heard the saying 'the day is worse than the day'? It's alright if Director Song has had too much to drink, we can have Teacher Jiang take her home later. We two must drink until we drop tonight!"

Ye Bai chuckled and gave Hua Zhenghao a light squeeze on the shoulder.

A wave of tingling, numbness, and swelling surged up instantly, and Hua Zhenghao let out a muffled groan, but subconsciously released Song Fuling.

Jiang Nuai, who was prepared, quickly stepped forward and took Song Fuling from her.

Ye Bai then pulled Hua Zhenghao and forcefully pushed him back into his original seat.

Hua Zhenghao was shocked and angry and wanted to resist, but he found that his whole body was sore and weak and he couldn't muster any strength.

"Oh? Director Song hasn't finished his wine yet. That's such a waste. Director Hua, you should drink it."

Ye Bai sat in Song Fuling's original seat and placed the remaining half-glass of the drugged cocktail in front of Hua Zhenghao.
