Between Love and Hate

In a dimly lit hotel room with the door tightly closed, Shen Mingzhi lay unconsciously on the bed, her cheeks flushed with an unnatural red.

On top of her, a lecherous old man half-loomed, his gaze unabashedly fixed on her attractive figure, his spotted hands eagerly reaching for her smooth face.

Shen Mingzhis consciousness was hazy; feeling someone touch her face, she weakly lifted a hand to push away, only for it to fall limply.

The old mans murky eyes flickered with greedy light as he impatiently leaned in.

"Bang!"

The vermillion door was violently kicked open by someone.

A robust man stood at the entrance, his presence overwhelming.

"Whos there?" the man on the bed nearly fell off, looking at the towering figure at the door, furious.

Feng Xiao ignored the others anger, his sharp gaze like an eagles as he scanned the room, not finding what he expected, his aura dropped.

The old man, whose pleasure was interrupted, shouted angrily, "Get out!"

Feng Xiao raised his eyes, a cold look silencing the enraged man.

His attention then turned to the bed, his pupils constricting slightly at the sight of the disheveled figure.

The person on the bed was unconscious, but her slender hands still clung protectively to her chest.

Sensing the mans gaze, the old man scowled, "Youre intruding on a couples business. Get lost!"

At the door, Feng Xiaos gaze suddenly turned icy. It was the first time someone dared to speak to him like that.

His voice carried an authority that made one shiver, "Couple?"

The mans voice was filled with menace, "Youve never seen an old husband and young wife before? Shes here willingly to sell herself. Its none of your business."

The old man blocked the mans view, bluffing, "If you dont leave, Ill call someone."

Feng Xiao naturally didnt care; he had important matters this time.

A whistle pierced the silent night, rising and falling with a certain rhythm.

Hearing the signal, Feng Xiao turned indifferently.

The man behind him visibly relaxed, lewdly calling out to the beauty and lunging towards the person on the bed.

Feng Xiaos steps halted, hiscold eyes seeming to hesitate.

However, outside, the urgent whistle grew more insistent.

This meant the clue he had been searching for for years was close. If he lost this lead again, his trip to Yun City would be in vain, and the truth from years ago might never be found...

Feng Xiaos thin lips pressed together, about to leave.

But the slightly ajar door revealed the womans faint sound of resistance and indistinct struggle.

Without thinking, he knew what was happening inside.

A delicate girl was being pressed down by an old man who could be her grandfather...

Feng Xiao felt as if something was stuck in his throat, suddenly turning and kicking the door open.

The old man, about to get angry at the noise, saw the returning man striding towards him with an overwhelming presence, his black suit accentuating his muscular physique.

"What are you doing!"

The old mans legs went weak with fear as he crawled off Shen Mingzhi, reaching for the phone to call for help.

Feng Xiao saw the girls tears and felt a surge of killing intent.

If it was consensual, why the drugs?

The old man tried to justify himself, but the next moment, everything went black.

Feng Xiaos muscular arm tensed as he lifted the mans obese body with one hand and tossed him aside like garbage.

"Ah!"

The room was filled with the old mans painful howls, gradually weakening.

A minute later, Feng Xiao threw the man out of the room, pressed his earpiece, and ordered his men to remove the old man.

Shen Mingzhi, fighting the drugs effects, struggled to keep her eyes open to see who had saved her, catching only a glimpse of a tall figure.

The heat was relentless, eroding all her rational thoughts.

She gasped for air, desperate as a fish out of water.

Feng Xiaos eyes darkened as he took off his suit jacket and draped it over her, then lifted her, clothes and all, carrying her to his room.

As soon as he laid her on the bed, she clutched his sleeves tightly with her small hands.

Feng Xiao looked down to see the girls misty eyes looking up at him, like a vulnerable young animal, whimpering softly.

Feng Xiaos gaze dimmed as he freed his hand from her grip, "Wait for me."

The current situation clearly required neutralizing the drugs effects; Feng Xiao took out his phone to call someone.

Shen Mingzhis lips parted slightly, her indistinct moans more like an invitation.

Feng Xiaos rolled, his irritation evident as he undid two shirt buttons, suddenly leaning over Shen Mingzhi.

His stern features taut, his rough hands roughly grabbed her delicate chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, his look fierce.

"Shut up, Im going to find you a man now."

The fierce words were cut off as his lips met with softness.
