Chapter 452: Chapter 452: The Scheme Fails and Backfires!

As a major celebrity, Jiang Yumeng was incredibly busy. This time, her visit to Zhongzhou City was to attend a shooting for a brand endorsement.

She didn’t know why she had fallen asleep, only that her head felt heavy and fuzzy. She struggled to open her eyes and was shocked to see a man and a woman being intimate beside her!

Her vision was too blurry to make out who they were, only noticing that the woman had a great figure and the man had a strong, muscular body.

The piercing screams that had been disturbing her sleep were coming from that woman!

Jiang Yumeng was startled. Oh God, what was happening? How had she ended up in this strange room, and why was there a couple being intimate next to her?

Were those two being excessively intense?

Soon, Jiang Yumeng noticed something even more ominous; several parts of her body were painfully sore, especially her chest, which felt both sore and swollen.

A surge of blood rushed to her head. Oh God, had she been assaulted while she was unconscious?

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Yumeng hurriedly tried to sit up to check her body, but found she couldn’t move.

Though her consciousness had somewhat returned, her body felt unusually heavy, and she couldn’t move at all, forced to lie still in bed, helplessly listening and watching the activities beside her.

Her mind raced.

What on earth was going on?

Trying hard to remember, all she recalled was finishing a busy day of shooting, then being invited to dinner at a five-star hotel. While eating, she became drowsy and woke up here.

Could it be that someone had drugged her during dinner and brought her here to violate her?

Although she had always portrayed a sexy, mature image, she had actually never had a boyfriend and was still a virgin.

Who would have thought that coming to Zhongzhou City, she would be drugged and violated in such a confused state? She felt so wronged that she couldn’t stop crying.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when the noise finally subsided beside her, but soon the commotion started again, and the man was incredibly aggressive.

Gradually, Jiang Yumeng stopped crying, finding herself agonizingly hot and bothered, which was an absolutely awful feeling.

As a mature woman, what she heard and saw stimulated her inappropriately, cursing herself for her shameful reaction.

Fortunately, it seemed the man had no interest in her while she was asleep, and he hadn’t touched her; otherwise, if she had been awake and he had taken advantage of her, Jiang Yumeng didn’t know how she would have faced it.

If that way the case, she might have wished she were dead.

After two tumultuous sessions, Xu Qianli left Tian Tian unconscious, finally satisfied and sparing her for the moment. He then turned to open the closet, "Alright, come on out."

Huang Ling, who had been cramped inside, quickly scrambled out, glancing at Tian Tian who lay unconscious on the bed like a mud puddle. She sarcastically said, "To think you wanted to set up Xu Qianli, and now look at you, you brought this on yourself! Boss, why don’t you go another few rounds with her?"

"What’s the point in tormenting a dead fish."

"The matter here is settled, let’s go."

Xu Qianli grabbed Tian Tian’s purse, found the hidden camera inside, picked up Jiang Yumeng in his arms, and signaled Huang Ling to leave.

Jiang Yumeng was terribly frightened, fearing they would discover she was awake. She kept her eyes tightly shut.

What did this guy want? Where was he planning to take her?

Was he going to take her somewhere else to continue abusing her?

Or... was it to kill and silence her?

Thinking of such possibilities, Jiang Yumeng trembled violently in Xu Qianli’s arms.

Xu Qianli, unaware that Jiang Yumeng had awakened, noticed her trembling and muttered to himself.

"Still shivering in her sleep, must be having a nightmare."

"You’re lucky to have encountered me; otherwise, you were done for today."

"With a body and chest like yours, it’s truly tempting."

While speaking, Xu Qianli stealthily groped, tut-tut, indeed genuine material.

Suddenly assaulted, Jiang Yumeng almost couldn’t help but let out a soft moan, but had to forcibly endure it, inwardly cursing, "You filthy man, just wait, no matter who you are, I will definitely kill you!"

After leaving the hotel, the cold air sobered Huang Ling up quite a bit, "Where are we going? Should we call the police and have them arrested?"

Xu Qianli said, "The setup in the room earlier was all done by Tian Tian, Zhang Jian never showed up. As long as Tian Tian doesn’t confess, calling the police won’t do a thing to Zhang Jian. For now, I’ll take you to a place, then think of a way to deal with him."

Huang Ling asked, "Where to?"

"A good place, Yunding Villa."

"Come here!"

With a call from Xu Qianli, four female bodyguards from the Ye and Bai families appeared from the shadows, approaching Xu Qianli’s side.

"Boss, please give your orders!"

"Son-in-law, please give your orders!"

Xu Qianli handed Huang Ling and Jiang Yumeng to two of the bodyguards, and with the other two, quickly returned to the hotel.

Upon opening Zhang Jian’s room door, the guy indeed slept like a dead pig.

Xu Qianli waved his hand, and the two female bodyguards suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Jian still asleep, and beat him awake.

Zhang Jian, with bleary eyes, stared at Xu Qianli, blinked hard, and recognized him.

"Isn’t this Vice County Magistrate Xu, why would you bring people to beat me up in the middle of the night?"

"Mother, it hurts, stop hitting, stop hitting, it hurts..."

"Vice County Magistrate Xu, spare my life, please spare my life..."

Zhang Jian wailed miserably, begging for mercy.

Xu Qianli had no intention of letting him off easily, grabbed a chair, sat by the bed, lit a cigarette, and watched as Zhang Jian was violently beaten.

Only when Zhang Jian had nearly been beaten to his last breath did Xu Qianli signal for them to stop, then stepped forward and pressed his cigarette butt onto Zhang Jian’s head, "Does it hurt?"

"Ah..."

A pig-like scream came out of Zhang Jian’s mouth.

The burn from the cigarette butt, does it not hurt?

Xu Qianli waited for the cigarette butt to extinguish, then grabbed Zhang Jian by the hair and yanked his head up.

"I ask you, why did you scheme against me?"

Zhang Jian said, "I didn’t, how would I dare scheme against you, Vice County Magistrate Xu, could there be some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?"

Xu Qianli gripped the back of Zhang Jian’s head and violently smashed it onto the floor, heavily knocking him unconscious.

With Zhang Jian out cold, Xu Qianli dragged him like a dead pig to the bathroom, doused him with cold water to wake him up, and forcefully slapped his greasy face.

"I’m asking you again, why did you scheme against me?"

"Consider carefully before you speak; don’t challenge my patience again!"

"If you dare to prevaricate, I don’t mind breaking a few of your bones first!"

Faced with Xu Qianli’s threat, Zhang Jian trembled all over, completely cowed.

"I’ll talk, I’ll say everything."

"The reason I schemed against you wasn’t my idea, it was someone else directing me, I was forced to do it."
