Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Settling This Account Slowly

The sudden voice behind her made Su Mu reflexively jump in fright, especially since she had almost immediately recognized that the voice belonged to President Huang.

If she remembered correctly, President Huang had left in the middle of the meal, yet unexpectedly, she still saw him now. What did this mean? It meant he never actually left or he had calculated the time to return here to wait.

Su Mu looked at the displeased President Huang and curved her lips into a smile:

"Does President Huang feel certain of his victory today?"

"I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. Didn’t we agree earlier that we’re just business partners? I just couldn’t sleep and came out for a walk. I didn’t expect your party to end so late, and seeing you return to the hotel alone, I worried and followed. Sure enough, as expected, something really did happen."

President Huang looked Su Mu up and down, smiled, and said:

"However, you don’t have to worry too much. With me here, I won’t let others bully you. I will take you back to the hotel now, and if you feel unwell later, I’ll call a doctor for you."

After saying this, President Huang moved closer, trying to touch Su Mu. Naturally, Su Mu wanted to avoid him, but her body became increasingly uncontrollable, as if she was immobilized. Just as Su Mu was enduring the disgust of President Huang’s touch, a familiar ringtone suddenly echoed around her.

At that moment, Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as President Huang spoke, Su Mu had already stealthily dialed Fu Shinian’s number on her phone. Although she was unsure if it would be discovered, uncertain if the call would go through, and even if it would be answered, it was better than sitting and awaiting doom, especially since Lin Ning was drunk. In this foreign land, the Maldives, Su Mu could only seek help from Fu Shinian alone.

President Huang also heard the phone, looked in the direction of the sound, and because of the light, he could only see the silhouette of a figure. The only thing clear was the mobile phone in his hand, flickering intermittently.

"Who’s there?"

The person didn’t move but did not leave either. President Huang asked again in English, only to be met again with silence. After a few seconds, President Huang made a move, supporting Su Mu to leave. Although someone stood behind him, most likely it was just a passerby who wouldn’t meddle, but before he could step forward, the figure spoke with a cold, chilling voice:

"Your hand is already crippled. Take one more step, and you won’t need to walk for the rest of your life."

President Huang was stunned for a moment. Although he did not necessarily fear such a threat, he ultimately did not take a step forward.

He glanced at Su Mu, only to see a faint cold smile at the corner of her mouth. It was then that President Huang suddenly realized things might not be as simple as he had imagined. He asked Su Mu:

"Did you call for help?"

Su Mu did not respond but simply said to the silhouette: "I’m not going to last much longer."

The next second, President Huang saw the figure take steps toward them, moving at an unhurried pace, with a demeanor befitting a person of high status. Inexplicably, he began to feel panic within, as if every step the figure took was directly upon his heart.

Finally, the figure entered the light, their features becoming gradually clear. President Huang watched all along, his look turned from skepticism to shock, then to disbelief, until Fu Shinian stood before him, and only then did he find his voice, albeit tremulous:

"Mr. Fu... Mr. Fu, what are you doing here?"

Fu Shinian didn’t even glance at him, directly wrapping his arms around Su Mu’s waist and letting her lean into his embrace, looking down at her:

"How do you feel?"

Su Mu shook her head, honestly responding: "Not very good."

Fu Shinian then lightly glanced at President Huang, with a slight tug at the corner of his mouth: "Was it your drug?"

"No, no, no... I’ve already made it clear to Su Mu, we are purely business partners, this... such despicable methods, that’s not what friends should do."

Seeing Su Mu suffering greatly, Fu Shinian was not in the mood to continue conversing with him. He directly picked Su Mu up horizontally and before striding away, he chuckled lightly:

"Whatever you say, but my wife encountered this due to working with your magazine, and because of your dinner tonight. How about this, we should settle this account with you, any objections?"

President Huang still wanted to explain something, but Fu Shinian had already walked away with large strides, not giving him a chance to speak.

Even if one were to walk across the island in the Maldives, it wouldn’t take too long, but Fu Shinian was concerned about Su Mu and quickly returned to the hotel within ten minutes. He carefully placed Su Mu on the bed and leaned over to ask her:

"How do you feel?"

Su Mu just uncomfortably twisted her body, without uttering a word. The discomfort in her body had evolved from the initial dizziness to a now unbearable heat. Even Su Mu, as naïve as she might be, understood what the drug was for and silently cursed President Huang’s dirty trick in her heart, but it was ultimately of no help.

Su Mu didn’t speak, but that didn’t mean Fu Shinian couldn’t see her discomfort, especially since he had just been holding Su Mu, her increasing body temperature had already alerted him to what might be happening. Indeed, when men want to manipulate women, they often resort to this kind of drug – it’s not that rare.

Fu Shinian was angry inside, but he couldn’t take it out on Su Mu. These days he knew she had been very cautious. He was also aware, from chatting with Lin Ning privately, that she was being protective, but some oversight still happened. He would settle this account with President Huang slowly, but for now, the most pressing issue was the drug in Su Mu’s body.

After quietly standing beside the bed and watching Su Mu for a minute, she was holding herself very well, perhaps because she didn’t want to show her distressed side in front of him. But the sweat gathering on her forehead was enough evidence of her increasing inability to bear it. Fu Shinian sighed and began undressing.

Even amidst her dire condition, Su Mu was still distracted by Fu Shinian. She noticed his movements from the corner of her eye, and with a slight frown, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but Fu Shinian preempted her:

"If you don’t want this, tell me another solution."

"I’ll take a shower."

Fu Shinian snorted coldly: "A cold shower?"

She thought he would object, but instead, he stopped what he was doing, picked her up without a word, and carried her to the bathroom. He placed her into the bathtub not too gently, turned on the tap, and when the cold water poured down on her, Su Mu couldn’t help but shiver all over, but she just gritted her teeth and endured. Meanwhile, Fu Shinian, impeccably dressed, stood by, watching as if enjoying an entertaining performance.

With fire inside and ice outside, each second was torture for Su Mu. Yet the fire within continued to stir, and she dared not leave, only holding on.
