221: Deliberately set up

When this rich young master spoke these words, their current actions already explained everything.

The identity of this rich young master must not be underestimated, but who would have thought that such a prominent person would secretly listen to them behind their backs?

It felt somewhat unbelievable. Ke Li Nan's face was very pale. She didn't expect that the words she said would be overheard by others so quickly. Indeed, walls have ears.

Moreover, Ke Li Nan had a purpose in calling Xia Ruoyun over this time. She originally intended to trick her into accompanying those young masters for drinks.

The moment this person appeared, it was as if all the efforts she had made instantly went to waste.

She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes constantly darting around, clearly frightened.

But this matter couldn't just be left at that. The unspeakable secrets hidden behind this.

Since Ke Li Nan had exposed everything today, Xia Ruoyun was now considered half a person here. No matter what, she couldn't leave here properly.

It seems there's more to this matter than meets the eye, completely different from what Ke Li Nan said.

The color on Xia Ruoyun's face instantly changed. She furrowed her brows tightly and questioned.

"What else haven't you told me? So, everything you just told me was a lie!"

At this moment, Ke Li Nan didn't dare to respond at all, just lowering her head.

"If you think those words just now were true, then believe me. If you don't want to believe me, no matter how I explain, it will be useless."

After saying this, she was about to turn and leave but was unexpectedly stopped by that young master.

"Ke Li Nan, where are you going? It wasn't easy to bring me a catch like this. Turning around and leaving now seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it? After all, you're the introducer."

This young master was still adding fuel to the fire. Ke Li Nan's face became even uglier. She didn't know how to explain to Xia Ruoyun.

And the other party kept urging her to give an explanation. Under immense pressure, Ke Li Nan decided not to hide it anymore.

She leaned back against the wall behind her lazily, looking helpless: "Young Master, you've made things so clear, so I won't pretend anymore. Let's be frank."

Then she looked at Xia Ruoyun: "You already know quite a bit about what's happening here, so you're considered one of us. If you accompany this young master well tonight, you'll have plenty of good days in the future."

But Xia Ruoyun had her own bottom line when she came. She would never touch upon these things.

"What are you talking about? You ultimately pushed me out! You set this trap for a long time and finally lured me in!"

Ke Li Nan nodded slightly, a wicked smile also appearing on her face.

"I didn't expect you to react so quickly. I just wanted you to come and accompany these rich people for dinner and drinks. When emotions run deep, what should you do? I don't need to teach you, right?"

At this moment, Xia Ruoyun took several steps back, shaking her head repeatedly. As she smiled, tears welled up in her eyes.

She couldn't accept her best friend's betrayal. This feeling was like someone stabbing her in the back.

"You finally tore off your mask with me, Ke Li Nan. I really didn't expect your heart to be so malicious!"

"It's not that money, status, and fame blinded your eyes, but that you were originally like this. It's just that I never noticed."

She admitted it very generously, "I am such a person. It's a good thing I have a silly friend like you by my side, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to complete this task."

Then she walked forward and whispered in Xia Ruoyun's ear: "You are an indispensable assistant for me to enter the beautiful country. If this succeeds today, no matter what your reputation is, I will take care of you!"

Hearing this, Xia Ruoyun completely erupted, letting out a roar and taking several steps back.

"Don't even think about it. There's no way I'm going to accompany these people for dinner, and I won't sink to your level!"

"Since you're beyond saving, there's no point in me staying here. Just drown in your own world."

After saying this, she turned to leave. Ke Li Nan immediately became furious, grabbed her arm, and gritted her teeth.

"You're already here, and you're not going to accompany them a little? Your future will be ruined anyway. Do you think these people will let you go?"

"Why don't you just surrender at their feet? Then you'll have whatever you want, won't you?"

For a moment, the two were at a stalemate. Xia Ruoyun still held firm to her beliefs and refused to do such a thing.

Just then, Su Yue suddenly rushed in, seizing the opportunity to give Xia Ruoyun a look.

"I'm really sorry, I heard a scream just now and thought something had happened."

Ke Li Nan was already in a terrible mood, and when she saw the waiter rush in, she completely exploded.

"Don't you know what I'm doing? Didn't you know to knock before coming in? Who hired you!"

The spearhead of her anger instantly turned towards Su Yue, constantly cursing him.

And Xia Ruoyun had already understood what Su Yue was trying to convey. She stood between the two of them.

"That's enough. Hurry up and tell this waiter to leave!"

"You said just now, if I accompany them well, I'll really have everything?"

Seeing that the other party had finally caught on, Ke Li Nan couldn't help but laugh out loud, but she still held onto her arm tightly.

"Can I still lie to you? Just look at the clothes they're wearing and the accessories they have on. Maybe this is something you couldn't achieve in several lifetimes of effort!"

"Just listen to me. After this compromise, you'll fall in love with this life."

That rich young master folded his arms across his chest, sizing up Xia Ruoyun's figure and looks.

"You can choose not to believe what she says, but you must believe what I say."

"Don't worry, I guarantee you, if you can accompany them well tonight, you'll have endless wealth and glory in the future!"

To prevent them from seeing any clues, Xia Ruoyun deliberately put on a thoughtful expression.

Finally, she nodded slightly: "I can agree to you and do these things for you."

"But you must fulfill the things you promised me. I remind you again, don't treat me in such a violent way!"

After all that effort, she finally relented. Ke Li Nan and the rich young master exchanged glances. They reached a consensus and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the rich young master walked straight up and put the room key in Xia Ruoyun's hand.

"Just go by the room number on this key. The people inside will be waiting for you at 8 PM."

Looking at Xia Ruoyun's retreating back, only smiles remained in their eyes.

Ke Li Nan immediately apologized to that young master: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect her to be so difficult to control, but thankfully, it's all over now."

Then she let out a long sigh: "I wish I could have seen this sooner, but I promise you, such problems will absolutely not occur again in the future."

At this moment, Xia Ruoyun was still trembling with fear. She covered her chest with her hand, tightly clutching the room key.

She finally saw Su Yue's figure around the corner and completely relaxed.

"I finally saw you. You don't know how they were looking at me just now. If you hadn't suddenly rushed in, I wouldn't have known what to do."

It was clear she had just gone through a difficult experience. Su Yue patiently comforted her.

"Don't worry yet. Give me the room key. There's no way I'm going to let you take the risk."

"I've probably guessed who's inside. They're definitely not good people."

As soon as she heard this, Xia Ruoyun instantly became clear-headed. She handed over the room key in her hand.

"I'm not worried about your safety, but what if you get discovered later? These rich people definitely won't let you go. Maybe you'll even lose your job because of me."

But Su Yue had already come up with a solution for this matter. "You don't need to worry about that. I'll find a way to cover my face so they can't find out my identity."

At this moment, there was some loneliness in Xia Ruoyun's eyes. She felt that everything she was doing now was completely not worth it.

"I can't pull Ke Li Nan out of this hellhole. She's completely trapped now and can't get out no matter what."

"Even this gathering was specifically planned by her and those rich people just to push me into the fire. Thankfully, I finally saw through her."

Since things had already happened, they had to find a way to solve them. Su Yue tried his best to comfort her from the side.

"You find a place to hide first, and make sure they don't find you. You can come after I open the door later."

"I guess they will definitely send someone to follow, so you still need to show your face."

The two discussed briefly, and the final plan was decided.

Soon, Xia Ruoyun walked ahead with the room key in her hand, looking around, and opened the door.

At this moment, Su Yue, in his waiter identity, happened to pass by. As he stepped inside, he also covered his face with the item he had prepared beforehand.

Meanwhile, the person inside hadn't realized the danger. "Xiao Bao, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for so long."

He looked expectant. Just as he raised his head, in the next second, he was tied up. His eyes were filled with various kinds of fear.

He didn't know Su Yue's identity and questioned: "What do you want to do? Who are you?"

But he didn't expect Su Yue to be so thorough, even preparing a voice changer for himself.

As soon as the other party finished speaking, a whip lash landed on the man's body.

But the man hadn't realized the problem. It was instantly painful. He let out some painful wails, constantly questioning.

"What kind of enmity or grievance do we have between us that you have to treat me like this?"

But Su Yue still didn't answer any of his questions, whipping him lash after lash until his skin was torn and his flesh was mangled.

And the man was already panting heavily. He had intended to enjoy himself today but didn't expect to encounter such troublesome matters.

He kept thinking that he hadn't offended anyone recently, and this place could only be entered by the rich and powerful.

Could it be that his competitor was deliberately making things difficult? He froze there, not daring to move.

Blood was constantly flowing from his wounds. The man gradually became angry. He clenched his fists tightly and questioned loudly.

"What the hell is going on! Tell me, after beating me like this today, what conditions do you want to set!"

"Don't let me find out what you look like, otherwise I won't let you go!"

Meanwhile, Su Yue folded his arms across his chest and slowly inquired about the other party's identity.

"Tell me, how capable are you? Let me hear it and see if I'll be scared."

At this moment, the man became energized as soon as he mentioned this. "I am a member of the Triangle Society, and I have a very high status. Many activities behind the scenes are promoted by me."

"You hit me today. You won't be able to leave here unscathed. You'll die here quietly, and no one will know."

After saying that, he didn't forget to threaten: "You'd better help me up now and send me to the hospital, then kneel and kowtow to me a few times. Maybe I'll forgive you."

At this moment, Su Yue let out a loud laugh and mocked: "You've lived in high places for too long, haven't you? You really think of yourself as someone important!"

"Triangle Society? I've never heard of it. I don't care about what you say at all. If you have any ability, bring it on."

Xia Ruoyun hid in the corner watching all this. She felt that the fat, big-eared man in front of her looked utterly disgusting.

And what the man was most curious about now was Su Yue's identity. How dare he be so arrogant in front of him?

"Then tell me which organization you belong to. If you can say something, I'll let you go today!"

Before Su Yue could reply, Xia Ruoyun quickly answered.

"It's the Abyss. Since you are so foolish as to set your sights on me."

"Presumably, you are very familiar with this organization, right? I don't need to give you too much introduction, do I?"

In that instant, the man's head started buzzing. He didn't know when he had provoked someone from the Abyss.

Now that the other party had come to his door, he didn't care how painful his wounds were and wanted to call the people outside in.

Otherwise, he would surely die today. When Xia Ruoyun saw that the other party was already stirring, she warned him.

"Don't have any unnecessary thoughts or actions. The Abyss organization will definitely not let you go!"

"Think carefully about what you've done. Confessing now will only benefit you, not harm you!"

The man fell into deep thought. Apart from indulging in this unique form of entertainment every day, his work had no connection with the Abyss. He still didn't know where the problem was!

Seeing Xia Ruoyun, who used to look so gentle and weak, suddenly becoming so shrewd, made the Su Yue beside her a little disbelieving, and he cast her some approving glances.
