Chapter 113: Episode 113: Seizing the Advantage and Counterattacking 5

Da Boyi had actually noticed something amiss with the water, but he pretended not to and took the glass, drinking half of it, "Thank you, Miss Mi. Let’s continue, ah..."

The two of them continued their question-and-answer based on the audit list from before, with Mi Lu occasionally glancing at her watch, while Da Boyi was also covertly watching her expressions.

About ten minutes later, impatience flashed across Mi Lu’s face, but she quickly adjusted herself, "We’ve been talking for quite a while, have some water before we continue..."

"Okay, thank you..." Da Boyi pretended to take the cup but failed to catch it, and the glass fell to the ground, spilling water everywhere. Seeing this, he also collapsed onto the wet floor, pretending to have been overcome by the drug and passed out.

"Phew... I thought he didn’t finish it all and there wouldn’t be enough of the dose..." Mi Lu sighed with relief, looking at the Da Boyi who lay on the ground.

She tried twice to drag Da Boyi onto the bed, but alas, she didn’t have the strength to move a man weighing over 160 pounds in his slumber.

But without getting him on the bed, how could she create the scene that he had slept with her...

Standing in the room, Mi Lu walked circles around Da Boyi, occasionally tugging at his arm and then experimentally pulling at his leg, still unable to move him.

"I’ve got it!" An idea struck her: it didn’t matter if she couldn’t get him on the bed. The floor was carpeted and he was still lying there, so she could just make do with lying on the ground and taking photos!

So, Mi Lu brought the blanket and pillow from the bed, then stripped Da Boyi naked, and snapped a few photos with a compact camera.

She then made herself look as though she had been assaulted, with disheveled clothes and hair, and took a few selfies.

Afterward, she lay down beside Da Boyi, adjusted her hair a bit, and took a few joint selfies with both of them.

Having finished her task, Mi Lu felt like something was still missing. She crossed her arms and looked down at the sleeping Da Boyi.

"Dear Investment Officer, take good care of me~" Mi Lu, after packing up her things, walked out of the room holding her shoes, barefooted, and happily wobbled to the elevator to go downstairs.

No sooner had Mi Lu entered the elevator than Zhou Xueyin and the others peeked out from the next room and walked out.

"Da Boyi! Are you dressed yet?" She knocked on the door of room 1606.

But there was no response inside.

"Da Boyi!" Zhou Xueyin knocked on the door more forcefully.

"I’m coming, I’m coming! Just putting on my pants! That wretched girl! So heartless!" Da Boyi hopped to the door on one leg while putting on his pants and opened the door for Zhou Xueyin and the others.

"Couldn’t you have dressed before opening the door?" Zhou Xueyin smiled helplessly at Da Boyi’s disheveled appearance.

"I was eager to report to you all," Da Boyi said while tucking his shirt into his pants.

"There’s no need to rush, we saw everything clearly from next door... and we recorded it all! Now if she tries to use that with...," Zhou Xueyin almost blurted out but then thought better of it and veered off, "with... whatever that thing is, to blackmail you, we won’t be scared!"

"Stop talking and hurry up! If Mi Lu remembers she hasn’t washed the cup and comes back, we’ll be in trouble!" Li Jiniang urged everyone.

"Right, right!" Zhou Xueyin took out the laptop and camera she had hidden behind the TV, Zhao Caiyun, and Zhang Jingwan put the blanket and pillows back on the bed, even arranging them to look unused.

Da Boyi picked up the water cup and put it into a plastic bag.

The water stain on the carpet was conveniently hidden by a table.

Just as everyone had restored the room to look as if no one had ever lived there, they heard the sound of the elevator arriving in the hallway, so they hurriedly ran back to the adjacent room.

From the peephole in the door, Zhou Xueyin looked out and sure enough, it was Mi Lu! She really did come back! Li Jinnyang was right!

It seemed she was a habitual offender, accustomed to using these kinds of methods to deceive and swindle!

She hesitated at the door for a moment, then went to find a cleaning lady at the service station to help her open the door.

"Spooked, where’s the person?" Mi Lu was surprised to see the room restored to its original state. She immediately ran to the trash can to look, but didn’t find the paper cup. Even the water that had been on the stall was gone.

"Auntie, have you cleaned up this room?" Mi Lu looked puzzled at the cleaning lady.

"I didn’t receive any task to clean this room, what’s up, young lady? Did you lose something?" The cleaning lady asked with concern.

"Nah, nah..." Mi Lu waved her hand, "Lost face..."

"What’s that? Lost someone?" The cleaning lady asked in surprise.

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing... Thank you..." Mi Lu began to doubt whether she had walked into the wrong room.

The several people inside room 1605 were all pressed against the door, listening to the conversation between Mi Lu and the cleaning lady, struggling to hold back their laughter to the point of almost getting hurt inside.

"Knock knock knock... Sorry, is anyone there?" Not convinced, and thinking she might have the wrong room, Mi Lu ran over to knock on room 1605, "Da Boyi, Mr. Da? Are you inside?"

"What’s up? Who’s Mr. Da?" Zhou Xueyin put on a rough voice and imitated the Northeastern accent, "What’s the fuss? Wanna mess with me?"

"Sorry, so sorry..." Mi Lu was frightened by Zhou Xueyin’s Northeastern-accented words and kept apologizing.

Afterward, she wished she could knock on every door on the floor, but she couldn’t find the room she had just come out of.

"Really ran into a ghost? Forget it..." Anyway, she had Da Boyi’s contact information, and his company’s address, she could always block him at his company in a few days!

Confused, Mi Lu went downstairs.

Zhou Xueyin looked down from the upper floor, watching Mi Lu get into a taxi and leave, "All clear, hahaha..."

Not just her, everyone in the room was laughing.

Da Boyi was also laughing awkwardly with them, "Heh, hehe... Alright, alright, for a chaste bachelor like me to end up like that by her, how are you going to compensate me?"

"Hahahaha... you, still chaste? You’ve got a daughter!" Zhou Xueyin sat on the floor, laughing so hard she was in tears, "Oh my, I’m dying of laughter. I’ll treat you to a big meal later!"

"Da Boyi, you really had a tough time this round, having to... pfft..." Li Jinnyang tried to console him, but remembering how he lay on the floor helplessly at the mercy of Mi Lu, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter again.

"Sister Yinyin, you are amazing! How did you come up with that trick?" Zhao Caiyun looked at Zhou Xueyin with admiration.

"Yeah, yeah! Usually it’s us being bossed around by her, but this time to see her taken for a ride by you, it’s so satisfying!" Zhang Jingwan looked at her with the same admiration.

"Mainly because, this person is inherently deceitful, thinking everyone else’s thoughts are like hers. Unable to get the contract on merit, but willing to resort to unscrupulous methods! So, it’s just a case of fighting fire with fire!" Zhou Xueyin shrugged nonchalantly.
