However, before he could crawl far, he felt something tighten around his ankle. The Proprietress must have grabbed him and dragged him back.
“Drink more!” The Proprietress pinched Yang Kai’s mouth and poured the wine down his throat.
The world spun…
After an unknown period of time, Yang Kai slowly woke up and felt his mouth go dry. His throat was also burning as he opened his eyes and looked up, only to see a pink veil. He was stunned for a moment.
After a long time, some muddled memories began to surface.
He seemed to have come here to see what had happened to the Proprietress, but after being beaten up by her, he was forced to drink a few jars of wine before falling unconscious.
His memory was still stuck at the moment he was captured and forced to drink the second jar of wine. As for what happened next, he had no recollection.
He didn’t know what kind of wine it was, but it was actually so strong that just two jars were enough to make him drunk.
Where was this? Staring at the pink veil above his head for a long time, he finally thought he hadn’t slept with the Proprietress, had he? This veil was obviously the Proprietress's bed.
Feeling a headache coming on, Yang Kai wanted to stretch out his hand to rub his head, but he found that his arm was being supported by something. Turning his head to look, Yang Kai’s eyes suddenly widened and his drunkenness was swept away.
What was resting on his arm was actually the head of the Proprietress. At this moment, the Proprietress was lying on his side, curled up and sleeping soundly. Yang Kai didn’t know what she was dreaming about, but there was a faint smile on her face. He didn’t know how long she had been in this position, but Yang Kai felt his arm go numb.
A chill ran down his spine!
This scene was truly a bit frightening. It wasn’t that the Proprietress wasn’t beautiful, but rather that she was a natural beauty with a face and figure that no man would be able to resist. If someone could sleep together with her, that would be desirable.
The key was that this woman was the Proprietress! Yang Kai had been tormented by her for the past few days, and when he came over to comfort her, she had even beaten him up. If she found out that he had not only slept with her but also held her for a long time, Yang Kai estimated that no matter how many lives he had, he would not be able to survive.
Fortunately, the Proprietress's clothes were quite neat. Looking back at himself, although he was in a somewhat sorry state, there were no signs of his clothes being taken off. In other words, when he was unconscious, nothing had happened, causing Yang Kai to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
The current situation was not the worst. If something really happened, it would be over!
Although this was the case, the situation was still quite ambiguous. If others were to see this scene, it would be bad. No matter what, it was best to retreat first!
Having made up his mind, Yang Kai held his breath and carefully pulled his arm out from under the Proprietress's jade neck, then quietly climbed off the bed.
Turning his head, Yang Kai saw that the floor was filled with wine jugs and the entire room was filled with the smell of alcohol. Yang Kai secretly clenched his teeth. Drinking wine was a mistake. This was something he had only heard people say before, but because of his self-discipline, even if he drank too much, he wouldn’t overdo it, so he had never experienced it before. Now that he had been forced to drink, he had finally experienced it.
Without any time to clean up, Yang Kai turned his head to look at the Proprietress who was still lying on the bed, and tiptoed out.
Gently opening the door, Yang Kai stepped out and carefully closed it without making a sound.
The entire process was like that of a thief. If it weren’t for the fact that he was deliberately trying to suppress it, he would definitely have heard his own heartbeat.
After finishing all this, Yang Kai’s heart finally relaxed.
Yang Kai couldn’t stay in this dangerous place for long, so he quickly returned to his room. While buttoning his clothes, he turned around and jumped off the deck.
Looking up, he saw Bai Qi standing in front of him with a bucket of hot water in his hand. When their eyes met, Bai Qi was stunned, “You…”
Yang Kai was also a bit dumbfounded. He was already feeling extremely guilty, so how could he have imagined that he would suddenly see this guy now? He quickly straightened his clothes and asked, “Is Brother Bai busy?”
“En!” Bai Qi nodded subconsciously.
“I’ll leave you to it,” Yang Kai said before walking into the cabin with his hands behind his back.
Bai Qi stared at his back for a moment before looking up at the room on the top floor. The bucket in his hand fell onto the deck and hot water splashed all over the floor.
Forcefully pretending to be calm, Yang Kai returned to his room and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Before he could even sit up, he heard a loud bang from the door. Immediately after, three burly men rushed in, all of them wearing malicious expressions and murderous intent.
“What are you doing?” Yang Kai turned pale with fright as he stared vigilantly at the approaching Bai Qi, the Accountant, and the Chef as he slowly retreated.
The three of them didn’t say a word and immediately cooperated, quickly subduing Yang Kai.
The Accountant raised his golden abacus high up in the air as if he was about to smash it. The Chef placed the polished kitchen knife on Yang Kai’s forehead while Bai Qi used the white towel from the running hall to wrap around Yang Kai’s neck and tighten it!
Yang Kai hissed, “If you have something to say, say it! Why are you touching me!”
Bai Qi lowered his body and almost fell face to face with Yang Kai, his expression fierce as he grit his teeth and said, “Little brat, I’m asking you a few questions, so answer honestly. If you dare to say a single false word, I’ll immediately take your life!”
“You ask, you ask!” Yang Kai nodded repeatedly. Two fists were no match for four hands, and three of them had come down at once, so there was no way he could win.
Bai Qi's eyes turned red, “Where were you last night?”
“Where else could I be? Of course I’m in my room!” These words weren’t wrong, he was indeed in his room, but not his own.
“You’re about to die, yet you still dare to be so stubborn. Let’s teach him a lesson!” Bai QI tilted his head towards the Chef, who immediately raised his kitchen knife high.
“Wait a moment!” Yang Kai was shocked. These guys were really serious, how could he possibly survive this slash?
“If I give you a chance, you should cherish it. I’ll ask again, where were you last night!” Bai Qi grit his teeth and shouted.
Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling awkward, “Didn’t you see it? Why are you asking me?”
“What I see may not be the truth. I want you to tell me where you were last night!”
“Proprietress… in her room!” Yang Kai scratched his face, his eyes flickering as he wore an awkward smile on his face. After he finished speaking, he felt the towel wrapped around his neck suddenly tighten and the kitchen knife on his forehead emit a sharp aura.
Bai Qi tightened his grip on the towel, his eyes red as he panted heavily, “Did you do it or not!”
“Do… Do what!?” Yang Kai couldn’t breathe and kept slapping his arm.
“I asked you if you did it!” Bai Qi grit his teeth and reiterated!
“I didn’t do anything, I didn’t do anything with the Proprietress!” Yang Kai stuck out his tongue and defended himself.
“Really?” Bai Qi still had a look of disbelief on his face, mainly because the scene he had just witnessed was too vivid. This morning, Yang Kai had run out of the Proprietress’ room in a disheveled state, so it was hard for him not to think about it.
“Absolutely!” Yang Kai quickly raised three fingers and swore!
Bai Qi stared at him seriously for a long time before the redness in his eyes slowly dissipated. With a shake of his hand, he pulled off the towel wrapped around Yang Kai’s neck and stood by the bed, staring down at him as she said, “Tell us, what happened? You better not try to deceive us, or else we brothers will not let you off so easily!” As he spoke, he held the towel in each hand and cracked it a few times.
At the side, the Accountant shook his golden abacus, causing a series of cracking sounds. Chef waved his kitchen knife, the cold light from the blade making one dizzy.
Yang Kai rubbed his neck and coughed a few times before raising his head to look at the three burly men standing in front of him. With an anxious expression, he whispered, “Actually, even I don’t know what happened!”
“You don’t know?” Bai Qi glared fiercely, “Then tell me you know.”
Helpless, Yang Kai could only briefly explain what had happened. He told them that he had heard a soft cry coming from upstairs and wanted to check on the situation, but after entering the Proprietress's room and seeing her cry so sadly, he instinctively wanted to comfort her, but who would have thought that she would force him to drink two jars of wine and then lose consciousness? When he woke up again, he was lying on the Proprietress's bed. He really had no idea what had happened, and even now he couldn’t remember.
After hearing this, Bai Qi and the other two glanced at each other before secretly communicating with their Divine Senses.
“Old Bai, didn’t you tell this boy not to disturb the Proprietress for the next few days?” The Accountant asked.
Bai Qi was slightly embarrassed, “I forgot! After this little brat sent the Snowy Sky Thread over, I immediately open the room's restrictions and couldn’t feel anything.”
Chef and the Accountant also nodded, indicating that they were the same. If it weren’t for Bai Qi sending them a message just now, they would have been prepared to hide for another day.
Chef held the kitchen knife and stroked his chin as he glanced over at Yang Kai, “Then do you think this little brat’s words are trustworthy? Old Bai, didn’t you say you saw him run out of the Proprietress’s room with his clothes in disarray, acting like a thief?”
“I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?” Bai Qi remembered the scene just now and became a bit angry, turning her head to glare at Yang Kai.
The Accountant said thoughtfully, “I think this little brat’s words should be trustworthy. It’s not like you haven’t tasted the Proprietress’s wine before. My brothers can’t even handle half a jar of it, so if this little brat was forced to drink two jars, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have the ability to do anything else.”
Bai Qi and the Chef both nodded. Recalling the alcohol content of their Proprietress's wine, both of them felt a chill run down their spines, not wanting to taste it again for the rest of their lives.
“Then everything is fine?” Chef looked at the two.
The Accountant nodded, “It should be a false alarm!”
“Then I’ll take my leave first,” Chef said, “Proprietress is awake, I’ll go make her some hangover soup.”
“I still have some debts to settle, so I’ll be leaving first,” The Accountant said before following Chef out.
