Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You

Xu Ke didn’t know what Lin Mengyao was thinking, he just watched her face turn red once more. Frightened, he stood up from the floor, bending over to pull Lin Mengyao out of the bathtub.

"What are you doing?" Lin Mengyao was startled by Xu Ke’s sudden action, and asked with a puzzled look.

"I see your face has turned red again. Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Let me take you to the hospital." Xu Ke said as he reached out to Lin Mengyao, but his hand was slapped away midway.

"You fool, I’m fine, just leave. I’ll be fine after soaking a bit more." Lin Mengyao turned her face aside, refusing to look at Xu Ke, and said angrily and embarrassed.

Seeing Lin Mengyao’s reaction, Xu Ke came to his senses and couldn’t help but smile. "Then I’ll leave for now. Call me if you need anything. Don’t soak in cold water for too long, take care." After reminding Lin Mengyao, Xu Ke left the bathroom. As he closed the bathroom door, his smile faded completely, turning into a terrifyingly grim expression.

No matter who the other party was, he would not let them off the hook.

Xu Ke clenched his fists, feeling a moment of weakness wash over him, but the feeling disappeared completely in less than a minute.

Looking at his fists, Xu Ke flashed a slightly sinister smile. He knew the people behind the scenes were about to make their move.

His body had been modified when he was with the Xu Family, giving him strong drug resistance. He was immune to most medications available on the market or the black market, with the effects disappearing in less than a minute.

The drug should have been effective now, but for some reason, Lin Mengyao’s reaction occurred earlier. Nonetheless, taking Lin Mengyao for a check-up could wait; now, he wanted to play with the rats lurking around.

Xu Ke re-entered the bathroom to remind Lin Mengyao a bit more, turned off everything in the room to create the illusion of being asleep, and then hid in the wardrobe, leaving a small gap to observe the bed and bedroom door. On the bed, he had arranged clothes and towels to look like a human figure.

Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing!

Shortly after Xu Ke hid in the wardrobe, there was a faint sound at the bedroom door. The next second, two shadows, one tall and one short, entered from outside.

"I could have handled this myself, why did you have to tag along?" Despite the male voice being lowered, Xu Ke recognized him as one of the men Lin Mengxi brought today, supposedly a classmate. By now, it was obvious who the culprits were.

"Of course, I want to capture this moment for posterity. What? Tired of me getting in the way? Don’t forget, if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have had a chance with Lin Mengyao. You’ve barely crossed the river and already want to tear down the bridge?" The woman stopped and mocked her companion while looking sideways at him.

The voice wasn’t anyone else’s; it was Lin Mengxi’s.

"How could I? I’m just worried it’s dark in here, you might bump into something, and I’d feel bad if you got hurt." The man tried to flatter Lin Mengxi, but she slapped his hand away loudly.

A sharp sound echoed in the silent bedroom, nearly scaring the man to death. "Are you crazy, making such a noise? What if they wake up?"

"Look at you, the scaredy-cat. I’ve drugged Xu Ke; there’s no way he’ll wake up. Why are you afraid? All you need to do is move Lin Mengyao, who’s been drugged with an aphrodisiac, to your room, have your fun, and then get caught in the act. You don’t have to worry about anything else. I’ll transfer the money to your account once it’s done. Now stop talking and get to work." Lin Mengxi urged.

"Alright, as long as you say so." The man said as he rolled up his sleeves, heading towards the bed.

The next second, the gray blanket was pulled back, revealing the rolled-up towels and clothes underneath.

"The person is gone." Not seeing anyone on the bed, the man’s face turned ashen.

"Where is she?" Lin Mengxi’s expression was equally bad, her dainty and long eyebrows furrowed like two worms, looking very unpleasant.

"Are you looking for me?" Xu Ke emerged silently from the wardrobe, behind the two of them, and before they could turn to the sound, Xu Ke delivered a chop to each of them, their bodies thudding heavily to the ground.

"Did you catch them? Who was it?" Li Mengyao had changed out of her soaked clothes and emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a robe.

"It was Lin Mengxi and her male classmate. I’ll handle this. The clothes are on the bed, put more on. There’s medicine on the nightstand, find it and take it. I’ll drag these two out and handle them." Xu Ke said, dragging the two by their legs.

"Mm, come back soon." Lin Mengyao paused while drying her hair and replied softly.

"Alright, you soaked in cold water for so long, don’t wait up for me. Take the medicine and rest early. I’ll be back soon."

Xu Ke promised to return soon, but by the time he actually returned, nearly an hour had passed, and Li Mengyao had succumbed to fatigue and fallen asleep.

The two were awakened the next day by a piercing scream, the shrill sound shattering what little sleep they had.

"What’s the matter?" Lin Mengyao asked groggily with a nasal tone, half-opening her eyes.

Even after taking the medication, she had caught a cold, her body weak and unwilling to move.

"The show I planned is starting. Do you want to see it, or keep sleeping?" Xu Ke lay beside Lin Mengyao, tucking the blanket around her as he asked.

"Let’s go have a look. It would be a pity to miss it." Thinking about her long soak in cold water the previous day, Lin Mengyao felt she had regained some strength and immediately got up from the bed, walking out in her slippers, albeit unsteadily.

Watching Lin Mengyao’s back, Xu Ke chuckled softly and followed her.

By the time they arrived, the door was surrounded by a crowd, making it impossible to see what was happening inside. Lin Mengyao anxiously stood on tiptoe, but could only see heads.

"Can’t see anything." Lin Mengyao pouted, whispering in complaint.

Xu Ke pinched her pouting lips and pulled back before she could hit him. Satisfied to have her attention, he smiled and pulled a servant aside who had been standing there, asking, "What’s happening? Why are so many people gathered here so early?"

The servant greeted Lin Mengyao and Xu Ke before replying in a gossiping tone, "It’s Miss Mengxi and the male classmate she brought yesterday. They’re, well, doing it without closing the door properly. Even their screams have drawn all these people. The two of them are still at it inside. Really, never thought Miss Mengxi was this kind of person. Heaven help us if the old lady sees this."

As the saying goes, people appear when they’re talked about. No sooner had the servant mentioned the old lady than she appeared with a face like thunder, "What are you all standing here for with nothing to do? Get moving!"

The old lady’s words dispersed the crowd of onlookers at the door, who left like quails with their heads ducked.

"When did you two arrive?" Old Madam Lin looked at Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao with displeasure.
