PROMISED RETRIBUTION
The big boss led Hu Lei to Suite 1701 without any more of his aberrant behaviour. In fact, judging from his demeanour, he did not look like someone who had been drugged. His physical and psychological state seemed to be excellent. As expected, the mighty Zhong Feng was not one to be taken lightly.
However, Hu Lei did not take the ingestion of an unknown substance lightly. She felt concerned for his well-being because she had seen first-hand what these types of mysterious drugs could do. The more crucial problem was that their long-term effect could not be predicted.
Most people, including countless doctors, took drugs like aphrodisiacs lightly and believed that 'venting' would be enough. Unfortunately, this was not the case. These products were not like normal medicine. These kinds of drugs were produced in unsuitable conditions and by people with insufficient knowledge in pharmaceuticals.
Since the substances were illegal, there were no standards and regulations on their manufacture. For instance, some constituents used might be effective, but they could also have a high level of toxicity. If these ingredients were consumed, they could shorten one's lifespan. In addition, the products were not tested thoroughly, so there was no way to determine the long-term side effects.
Typically, even after the effect of the aphrodisiac substance passed, there would be dangerous residues left in the body. The effect would not be obvious at first, but their presence could compromise the immune system and harm internal organs.
Zhong Feng's body condition looked good, and he probably had a strong internal system. However, she did not want to be a person who contributed to the loss of even a single day of his life.
She thought of Jian Ru's role in this matter and her eyes darkened. In truth, she had not been planning on seriously retaliating over a cheap trick that she saw coming from a mile away. However, now that she thought about that woman harming Zhong Feng, she felt true wrath in her gut. It was not the casual anger she showed when the evil emperor teased her. It was a feeling that promised retribution.
"Where would you like me?" the man asked in a casual voice.
Hu Lei looked around the lavish suite in interest. Under ideal circumstances, a patient should be lying down comfortably, to provide access to their body. Unfortunately, the sectional coach in the living room of the suite did not seem like it would accommodate Zhong Feng.
"A bed would be ideal." She responded immediately.
Zhong Feng smiled a little with a hint of wickedness in his eyes causing her to humph in annoyance. Did anyone know that the president was this childish?
"We cannot afford to waste any more time, Mr Zhong. These drugs can be really harmful. Even if you have a good body constitution, it is better to act quickly." Her voice finally betrayed her deep worry.
He did not play around anymore when he saw the sense of distress on her face. He led her to the bedroom and obeyed immediately when she instructed him to take off his coat and shirt. If it was any other woman, he would assume that she was intending on eating his tofu. Unfortunately, the look in his small interpreter's eyes only showed clinical interest.
Once he was on the bed, Hu Lei climbed on too so that she could have easy access to his abdomen. She linked her fingers together and cracked her knuckles quickly like a street thug. With single minded focus, she used the power of her index and middle fingers to poke firmly on the firm abdomen. Though the pressure had to be painful, Zhong Feng did not display a hint of discomfort.
"I am sealing the stomach membrane to prevent further absorption of the drug." She spoke in a calm voice.
Her father had told her that some people liked to know exactly what was being done to their bodies. Explaining supposedly reduced anxiety and promoted efficacy of acupressure and acupuncture. As a control freak, Zhong Feng would probably be more comfortable knowing.
After a moment of massaging the acu-points, she instructed him to lie on his stomach. She pressed more points firmly on the before jumping off the bed. She instructed him to stand up and then lightly touched the hollow of his neck before nodding in satisfaction.
"You might want to be in the bathroom in the next twenty seconds." She said with a smile.
His puzzled eyes looked at her and she blinked at him innocently. He felt an ominous feeling from those orbs. Without another word, he went off to the bathroom. Hu Lei hopped back on the comfortable bed and lay down. It was like sleeping on clouds with lumbar support. She definitely needed one of these once she found an apartment.
She immediately felt like dozing off in the brilliant cushiony bed once she settled in. After about ten minutes, the bathroom door opened, revealing a Zhong Feng with a pale face. She looked at him guiltily even though she had done it for his own good.
"Throwing up is the most efficient way to clear out your stomach in these circumstances." She explained.
His cold eyes seemed to want to freeze her into an ice cube.
"If I had told you beforehand, you would have resisted." She continued.
"Is there anything else?" He asked.
She nodded.
"Your body has already absorbed some of the drug. We need to stimulate the body to remove all residues. It's not a big deal; just a few pokes around the liver and the kidneys." She was completely honest this time.
He looked at her sceptically as she waved a finger gun made of her middle and index fingers. She seemed a little dangerous, especially when he remembered the power of her pokes. He wondered if he should have called the concierge doctor instead of indulging her.
"This is the best way to be sure that there are no side effects." She paused. "You know my father is a divine doctor, right?"
She showed a smile with little tiger teeth as she pulled out her final card. That smile dazzled him. Though she had spent the week smiling in meetings, she had not shown this type of smile since that day in the Maven Restaurant.
Like a man walking to his death, he submitted and joined her on the bed.
