3. A Hundred Ways to Threaten Someone (1)

Xie He’s expression changed when he saw Zhou Yuebin. “Why are you here?”

Zhou Yuebin looked completely at ease and shrugged. He said, “Oh, Lili is my friend’s girl. I came to join in on the fun.”

Zhang Lili looked at Xie He curiously. She said to Zhou Yuebin, “Zhou shao, you know him? Why don’t you introduce us?”

Zhou Yuebin smiled and said, “This is Lin shao. Don’t ask for anything more. He’s not someone you can dream about.”

Zhang Lili huffed angrily, “Who’s dreaming about him?! My hubby is here okay? Don’t spout nonsense. Moreover, this is Xiao Shu’s boyfriend.” She turned to look at Shu Yan, acting even more enthusiastic compared to before. She spoke with an envious tone of voice, “Xiao Shu, you’re really lucky, ah.”

Shu Yan was a bit dumbfounded. Although she knew that Xie He’s family was likely pretty well-off, she didn’t think that it was this good. In the blink of an eye, the xuejie she admired was now speaking to her with an envious voice. She felt elated.... Her heart raced and her face flushed from excitement.

Zhang Lili straightforwardly pulled Shu Yan over to her side. She didn’t even go back to sing anymore and instead chatted with her affectionately. Zhang Lili was a really mature woman with a high EQ. She was good at making her conversation partner very happy. Shu Yan was but a girl who had yet to graduate. Even if she had a bit of a scheming heart, she was no match for Zhang Lili. Very soon, she found herself unable to think straight because of the flattery.

Xie He sat next to Shu Yan helplessly. However, Shu Yan spoke to Zhang Lili the whole time and didn’t pay him any attention.

Zhou Yuebin sat next to Xie He. He acted very courteously and politely. He didn’t try to overstep boundaries and only smiled at Xie He. He said, “Lin shao, it must be fate for us to meet today. Come, let me toast to you.”

Xie He looked at the alcohol in the cup. He felt awkward. He wasn’t a drinker.

Zhou Yuebin looked ashamed and upset. He sighed, “I was wrong for what I had done back then. But it’s been so long. Is Lin shao still unwilling to forgive me? I really just want to be friends with you. I absolutely have no other motives. Even if you don’t trust me, you must trust Han ge, right?

The latter half made Xie He’s expression relax slightly. He had absolute faith in Han Wenqian. Moreover, seeing how sincere Zhou Yuebin was, he felt like he would seem too unreasonable if he didn’t accept the other’s apology. He could only say, “I...I don’t drink....”

Zhou Yuebin raised a brow, appearing surprised. He beckoned a waiter over to get a cup of juice. He said with a smile, “Sorry, it was my mistake. Do as you wish. I’ll drink this cup.”

Xie He watched as Zhou Yuebin downed the cup of white wine. He felt too embarrassed to just sit there so he took a sip of his juice.

Seeing Xie He drink the juice, Zhou Yuebin smiled and stood up as he knew that the other felt uneasy with him around. “Then I won’t disturb you anymore. Call me anytime you need something. I promise I’ll come when you call.”

Xie He forced out a smile.

Shu Yan was chatting with Zhang Lili about skincare products, shoes, and bags when her cell phone suddenly rang. It was her mom. Shu Yan picked up the phone but the room was too noisy and she couldn’t hear her mother. Thus, she apologized to Zhang Lili before heading out for her call.

It was much quieter outside. Shu Yan spoke into the phone, “Mom, what’s up? I couldn’t hear you inside.”

Shu Yan’s mother spoke fretfully, “Your father was beaten up. He’s currently at the hospital!”

Shu Yan paled in fright, “How did this happen?”

Shu Yan’s mother said, “A customer said that our restaurant’s food is unclean. In a fit of anger, they hit your father.”

She choked while speaking, “I’m currently at the hospital with your father. Go home and bring 20,000 yuan with you to the hospital.”

Shu Yan’s family operated a little restaurant. It had been pretty successful over these years. Who would have thought that something like this would happen? When she heard her mother cry, the anxiety grew even more rampant in her heart. She turned around and went to look for Xie He to leave early.

However, before Shu Yan entered, she saw Zhang Lili walk out. When Zhang Lili saw Shu Yan’s red eyes, she asked worriedly, “Xiao Shu, what’s wrong?”

Shu Yan almost cried, “Something happened to my dad.”

Zhang Lili‘s expression immediately changed to that of concern. She comforted the other in a soft voice. “What’s wrong? Tell me. I might be able to help.”

Shu Yan rubbed her eyes. “I don’t want to trouble Xuejie. I’ll just leave first with Lin Xin. I’m sorry.”

Zhang Lili sighed. “Silly child, of course your family is more important. What’s there to be sorry about? How about you head over with my friend. He’s got some ability. He will definitely be able to help you. As for Lin shao, it’s rare for us to see him. Zhou shao wants to reminisce with him. How about letting him stay... .What do you think, Xiao Shu?”

Shu Yan still wanted to go with Xie He but since her xuejie had said this, she could only nod. “OK.”

Zhang Lili looked grateful. “Xiao Shu, you’re so sensible. We will have many more opportunities to talk in the future. We should meet up again. Right now, I won’t keep you. I’ll have someone go with you to help deal with your family’s matter.”

After saying this, she returned to the room and called for someone.

That person was obviously one of the rich ones. He smiled at her and patted his chest. “Saozi, don’t worry. I guarantee that I’ll handle her family’s issue well.”

Zhang Lili gave him some instructions and then watched as he left with Shu Yan. She then returned to the room and gave Zhou Yuebin a look.

Zhou Yuebin’s expression changed and he turned to look at Xie He.

Xie He was bored sitting there and had drank several mouthfuls of juice. Right now, he felt dizzy. He hadn’t noticed that Shu Yan had left. Zhou Yuebin walked over and wrapped an arm around Xie He’s shoulder and gently called out, “Lin shao?”

Xie He didn’t react, seemingly really sleepy. His eyes were shut.

Zhou Yuebin thus supported Xie He out of the room. It was noisy inside the private room. Aside from several people who were in the know, no one else cared about what was happening. They just thought that Xie He was drunk.

Zhou Yuebin brought Xie He into a small room inside the nightclub and tossed him onto the sofa. The room was a bit messy, as if it had purposely been made to look used. There were several fruit peels and cigarette butts on the coffee table, as well as unfinished glasses of wine.

Zhou Yuebin pulled Xie He’s sleeve up, revealing his slender, graceful arm. That pale, smooth skin looked so tender, as if a slight flick would cause a bruise. One could also faintly make out the veins underneath. Zhou Yuebin felt the other’s arm up, reluctant to let go.... In the end, he picked up a syringe on the table and injected it into Xie He’s arm.

“This is a very good thing. After using it once, I guarantee you’ll never be able to part with it again. Hehe.” Zhou Yuebin slowly injected the substance into Xie He, a lustful expression in his eyes. He pinched Xie He’s chin and pecked him a few times on his lips and face. Reluctant to part, he said, “I’ll let you go for today...and then I’ll come back to collect in a few days.”

Zhou Yuebin threw the syringe onto the ground and then left. After some time, a woman with heavy makeup entered the room.

....................................

Xie He was dizzy and felt like he was floating inside a dream. When he woke up, he slowly opened his eyes, only to find that his body was entwined with a well-endowed, naked woman who had heavy makeup on. This situation caused extreme disgust and fear to emerge in his eyes. He was just at a xuejie’s birthday party with Shu Yan. How did it end up like this?!

He pushed the woman away in a panic. However, as soon as his hand touched the other’s skin, he immediately took back his hand! His face burned up and he didn’t dare reach out again!

That woman crawled over with a charming smile on her face after being pushed away. She reached out to tightly wound her arms around Xie He’s neck.

Xie He let out a flustered voice, “L-let go of me!”

The woman held him even tighter and laughed. “Lin shao, you already spent the money. I obviously must serve you well.”

Xie He shouted, “I never asked for you!”

At this time, the door was suddenly kicked open. Several police officers barged in and saw the woman and Xie He embracing. They had received a report that there were people here indulging in drugs and prostitution. They had indeed caught them.

Xie He was so scared he began to tremble. He was completely scared out of his wits. The woman also seemed to have been scared silly. She shrieked and reached out to cover her body. It was just that indifferent flickered through her eyes after she lowered her head. To her, this was just business. In any case, the other party had promised to bail her out afterwards.

An officer’s gaze fell on the syringe on the floor and the scattered white power on the coffee table. He carefully used a plastic bag to collect the evidence. He then threw Xie He’s clothes at him and said with a cold voice, “Take them away.”

Xie He sat there, stupefied. Everything exceeded his imagination. Right now, the fear had caused his mind to go completely blank. After some time...he dressed himself under everyone’s gazes. His feeble body tottered and there was utter shame on his face. He was then handcuffed and pushed out the door.

Only when he reached the police station did Xie He finally calm down a bit.

He was a good child who even found it difficult to lie while growing up. He had also been protected very well. He was naive and pure, like a sheet of white paper. Right now, being arrested and taken to the police station was enough to make him feel as if the sky had fallen down.

Xie He was directly locked up in the detention room. For a long time, no one paid him any attention. Some time later, someone came in to take a urine sample and then left. Xie He had his arms around his legs as he squatted on the ground. His face was deathly white.

He didn’t get it...he didn’t get it....

【444：So they had been planning on framing you. They’re truly terrible! Σ( ° △°|||)︴】

【Xie He：Indeed, they’re quite terrible. Smile.JPG】

【444：......】Dang, it was the first time Host dada had agreed and said that the other was bad, rather than playing it down and belittling the other for being too soft. He suddenly felt good! _(:зゝ∠)_

【Xie He：Luckily it’s me. If it was anyone else, they’d be completely ruined. 🙂 】

【444：......】

After a very long period of time, a police officer came to interrogate Xie He.

The middle-aged police officer looked at him with disdain. With a frigid voice, he said, “Name, gender, occupation, address.”

The cold detention room made Xie He extremely frightened. He had no intention of defying the officer and obediently said, “Lin Xin, male, t-twenty-two...address is...” He replied to each and every one of the officer’s questions, not daring to conceal a thing.

The officer filled in his report, pleased. After asking many questions, he suddenly asked, “Where’s you get the drugs from?”

Xie He was startled and confused. “What...?”

The officer threw the bag with the syringe onto the desk. With a stern voice, he asked, “I asked, where did you get this from?”

He gave Xie He a cold look. This was no ordinary marijuana, but the newest high-end pure drug that had seeped in from M Country. Of course they had to investigate its origins.

The officer looked at the puzzled, trembling Xie He. He thought, he looks like such a pure young man but he doesn’t know how to treasure himself at all.

Xie He was scared into a shudder, being looked at by the officer with such a cold, stern glare. He sobbed, “I don’t know, ah. I really don’t know anything. I really only came to participate in a friend’s get-together. I don’t know why I ended up there, I don’t know what this is. That woman...I also don’t know her, ah!”

The officer laughed, “Still trying to lie?”

Xie He shook his head incessantly, “I really don’t know. I don’t know anything!”

The officer threw an examination report at Xie He and said, “You don’t know about something you’ve used on yourself?”

Xie He stared at the report in a daze. He grabbed it with trembling hands and read it. When he looked at the conclusion, he looked like he was about to fall apart as he shrieked in disbelief, “Impossible! Impossible! I would never do drugs!”

The officer looked at Xie He’s face full of incredulity, panic and fear. He was finally caught off guard. This was the first time he’d ever seen anyone act so well, as if he really didn’t know anything.

Could it be...that he was framed? But he couldn’t trust this boy so easily....

The officer’s gaze turned solemn. “Tell me everything you remember. Tell me everything.”

Xie He’s eyes were unfocused. His pupils were dilated. He stammered everything he remembered.... In the end, when he saw that the officer was about to leave, he pleaded, “I...I want to call my family. Can I...?”

The officer looked at Xie He and said, “Tell me the number. I’ll call them for you.”

Xie He gave the officer Han Wenqian’s number.

The detention room was quiet once more. Anxiety and despair made Xie He feel like time passed by extremely slowly. He had never felt that waiting was such an arduous task. Finally, he heard the sound of the door unlock. Soon after, a tall, familiar silhouette appeared at the door.

When Xie He saw Han Wenqian, his tears flowed out, like he had finally found his pillar of support. This was his invincible big brother. As long as gege was around, there was nothing to fear...nothing to fear....

He staggered over to wrap his arms around Han Wenqian’s waist. He sobbed in a broken voice, “Ge...I...you’ve come....”

Han Wenqian looked down at the young man hugging him. The young man’s face was deathly pale and his eyes were bloodshot. His hair was a mess and his clothes were crumpled. There was despair and fright in his eyes. They no longer had even half the warmth and gentleness as they usually did. He looked like a tottering little tree being thrown about by the storm.

He didn’t know why but his heart hurt when looking at Xie He like this. However, the fleeting distraught was soon buried under the coldness.

I protected you so well in the last world, ensuring that you never had any worries. I wanted to give you the best the world had to offer. But how did you repay me? Han Wenqian’s eyes darkened and became icy.

Zhou Yuebin had already told him everything and had gotten his approval. Everything was within his plans.

At this moment, an officer came over and politely said to Han Wenqian, “You guys can leave.”

Han Wenqian nodded. “OK.”

He reached out to gently pat Xie He’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go home.
