3: Chapter 3 The Female College Graduate (2)

As Jiang Wan walked down the street, Xiao Lingdang continued to provide information in her mind.

"Wanwan, don't worry. The data shows that Lu Zhengyang is uninterested in women. As long as you get him back to his room and ensure his safety, you'll be done with your part. See? This mission is so simple, don't you think?"

Jiang Wan watched the road while whispering back to Xiao Lingdang.

"Well, based on what you said, when I walk up to him, he should stay far away from me as soon as he sees me approaching. Do you think he'll refuse if I offer to help him? Will he think I have ulterior motives?"

Xiao Lingdang: "..."

Jiang Wan's words rendered Xiao Lingdang silent.

That was a good question.

It truly hadn't considered that a man who was uninterested in women wouldn't trust others so easily.

Especially women!

When she didn't hear a reply for a long time, Jiang Wan knew that Xiao Lingdang wasn't sure about the answer either.

Forget it, she would just take it one step at a time. If he refused, it would just mean that it wasn't meant to be, and she would simply follow the will of heaven!

Anyway, there was no punishment if she failed the mission. If the man didn't trust her, it wasn't because she was unwilling to save him!

Jiang Wan entered the elevator and pressed the number 4, watching the display change with a nervous heart.

Xiao Lingdang's voice rang out again.

"Wanwan, I found it. Lu Zhengyang graduated from your university; he's your senior. He even participated in a school event two months ago, but you were at your part-time job then and didn't see him. You can use being a junior from the same school as an icebreaker."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Jiang Wan thought that might work; at least she had a reason to approach him.

The elevator arrived. As the doors opened and Jiang Wan was about to step out, she was unexpectedly bumped by someone and forced to step back.

The sudden situation scared Jiang Wan half to death, and she nearly screamed. This was too terrifying! Where did this person suddenly come from?

Jiang Wan hugged herself and shrank to the side, trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.

The newcomer entered the elevator, immediately pressed the button for the top floor, and then turned to look at Jiang Wan.

Seeing Jiang Wan leaning against the wall with her red lips slightly parted from the shock, the man's breathing grew more hurried, and his eyes darkened.

The man's gaze at that moment was somewhat dangerous, but Jiang Wan was too startled to notice.

The man's expression returned to normal, as if that previous look hadn't belonged to him at all.

"Sorry, my apologies."

So handsome!

That was Jiang Wan's first impression of the man.

He was over 1.8 meters tall, dressed in a sharp suit with thick eyebrows, large eyes, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His facial features were perfectly chiseled.

He looked just like a celebrity. Had she run into a star?

Before Jiang Wan could speak, Xiao Lingdang started screaming.

"Ah! Wanwan, it's Lu Zhengyang! He's Lu Zhengyang! Our mission target!"

Jiang Wan's eyes immediately widened.

What? This was Lu Zhengyang?

No way! Such a handsome man, and his fiancée doesn't like him? She even wants to break off the engagement? Could there be someone even more handsome than him?

Xiao Lingdang shouted frantically in Jiang Wan's mind.

"Wanwan, now is not the time to look at handsome guys! The mission, the mission! It looks like he's been drugged. Hurry and help him! You have to make sure he doesn't run into anyone else."

Hearing Xiao Lingdang's words, Jiang Wan immediately snapped back to reality, just in time to see Lu Zhengyang looking unsteady, as if he were about to fall.

With a startled cry, Jiang Wan rushed forward to support him.

"President Lu, what's wrong? Are you drunk?"

Lu Zhengyang felt as if he were being roasted over a fire. A burst of fragrance drifted toward him, and he accidentally grabbed the woman's hand, finding it very cool.

It felt icy and refreshing to the touch, so comfortable.

But as soon as he heard the woman call his name, his gaze became sharp.

She clearly knew him. Was she also sent by that woman?

Lu Zhengyang gripped Jiang Wan's hand fiercely.

"You know me? Tell me, who sent you?"

Jiang Wan's face crumpled in pain, and she cried out, trying to pull her hand away.

"It hurts! Let go of me!"

"I don't know you personally! You came to our school, and the principal introduced you like that, so I remembered."

Hearing this reason, Lu Zhengyang's expression softened slightly, and he released Jiang Wan's hand.

The moment he let go, he felt a strange sense of emptiness in his heart.

Jiang Wan rubbed her wrist, looking at Lu Zhengyang crossly.

Hmph! No wonder he's uninterested in women; he has no sense of gallantry at all! He deserves to be dumped by his fiancée!

Seeing that Lu Zhengyang seemed to be in great distress—his face flushed red and veins bulging on his neck—

Jiang Wan softened a bit and approached him again.

"Uh, um, you... are you okay? Do you need me to call an ambulance?"

Call an ambulance? Was she trying to get him onto the trending searches?

Although Lu Zhengyang wasn't a celebrity, he had always been the 'prodigal son' of other families, and many eyes were on him. Calling an ambulance in public would let everyone know he had been drugged.

No, that wouldn't do. Absolutely not.

If everyone knew he had been set up by a woman, where would he put his face?

Lu Zhengyang panted heavily.

"No need."

Hearing Lu Zhengyang's refusal and seeing the elevator was about to reach its destination, Jiang Wan grew anxious.

The mission! She still had a mission!

"Then... then where are you going? Do you have a room booked here? Do you want me to help you back?"

Just as Jiang Wan finished speaking, the elevator arrived. Lu Zhengyang didn't answer but stumbled out. He was in terrible agony and only wanted to soak in cold water.

Seeing Lu Zhengyang's unsteady steps, Jiang Wan followed him out of the elevator, worried he might fall.

Sure enough, within five seconds, Lu Zhengyang collapsed. Fortunately, the hallway was carpeted, so he wasn't injured at all.

Jiang Wan stepped forward and bent down, intending to help Lu Zhengyang up.

Lu Zhengyang was trying to get up on his own when Jiang Wan approached. As he looked up, he happened to bump into something soft.

"Ngh..."

Both Jiang Wan and Lu Zhengyang groaned. One felt the pain of the impact, while the other felt something soft and comfortable.

Lu Zhengyang was drugged and already in desperate need of release; this impact made him want it even more.

He now only wanted to hold the woman in front of him.

Lu Zhengyang lowered his head slightly, watching the person in front of him rubbing her chest. The desire in his eyes grew more intense, but he kept his head down so she wouldn't see his eyes.

He didn't have to pretend; he really was having trouble standing. He reached out his hand.

"Come here, help me up."

Jiang Wan was feeling embarrassed, but she snapped out of it when she heard Lu Zhengyang's words.

"Ah? Oh!"

She hurriedly went forward to support him.

At first, holding his arm wasn't working well, so Jiang Wan pulled one of Lu Zhengyang's hands and draped it over her shoulder.

It looked like Lu Zhengyang was hugging her shoulders, but it made it easier to apply force.

Lu Zhengyang leaned against Jiang Wan's soft body, looking at the woman beside him.

As long as she wasn't arranged by that woman, it was fine.

Lu Zhengyang panted, "Please help me back to my room."

This hotel was one of his family's properties, and he had a private room here. He stayed here sometimes when he drank too late with friends.

No one dared to enter this room without his permission.

He was so heavy. Jiang Wan felt like she was being crushed by the man, but she held her breath and helped Lu Zhengyang to his door.

She watched as Lu Zhengyang used his fingerprint to unlock the door. The door opened, and Lu Zhengyang flipped the light switch, instantly brightening the room.

Just as Jiang Wan thought her mission was complete, Lu Zhengyang spoke again.

"Help me to the bedside!"

Left with no choice, Jiang Wan had to comply. Since she had already come this far and the bed wasn't much further, she would see the task through to the end.

Jiang Wan gritted her teeth again and exerted her strength to help Lu Zhengyang forward.

Once they were a bit further from the entrance, the door behind them shut with a click. Jiang Wan looked back curiously.

No one had closed it. How did the door shut?

Was the door designed this way? To close automatically once someone entered?

Meanwhile, Lu Zhengyang, who had already retracted his foot, hid his contribution to the act.

This was a suite, and the bed was further inside. Finally seeing the bed, Jiang Wan felt that victory was in sight, and a flash of joy appeared on her face.

This damn mission was finally about to be completed!

Jiang Wan was very happy.

As long as she followed Lu Zhengyang's request and got him onto the bed, her mission would be over. As for how Lu Zhengyang would deal with the drug afterward, she didn't need to worry about that.

Just as they reached the bedside, Jiang Wan tried to pull Lu Zhengyang's hand down to let him lie on the bed, but before she could move, she was pinned onto the bed by Lu Zhengyang.

Jiang Wan was terrified and tried to push the man off her in a panic.

Lu Zhengyang reached out a hand and, with slight force, easily pinned both of Jiang Wan's hands. Scalding hot breath sprayed onto Jiang Wan's exposed skin, making her break out in goosebumps.

What was going on? Jiang Wan's eyes widened as she tried to call for the system.

"Xiao Lingdang, Xiao Lingdang, what's happening?"

However, no matter how much Jiang Wan called, she received no response from Xiao Lingdang.

Unable to reach Xiao Lingdang, Jiang Wan's face was full of anxiety. The next moment, her attention was caught by the voice in her ear.

"Sorry, I don't want to hurt you, but I really can't hold it back anymore. Don't worry, I'll compensate you afterward."

What? What did he say?

Jiang Wan took a breath to argue, only to see Lu Zhengyang's handsome face enlarge in front of her.

Her mouth was blocked by Lu Zhengyang, and she could no longer make a sound.

"Mmph..."

A scene that would make one's heart race immediately began to play out in the room.

While things were heating up inside the room, the elevator arrived, and two women with anxious expressions stepped out.

"Quick, quick, see if Lu Zhengyang came here. With such a heavy dose, he definitely couldn't have gone far."

"Right, we have to hurry. He said he was going to the restroom, but I didn't expect him to run. It's my fault for being too confident and not anticipating this. It's been so long; I don't know if he's still here."

The two women searched as they spoke, but all the rooms here had their doors closed. They couldn't be pushed open, and the soundproofing was excellent; they couldn't hear a thing.

They searched all over but didn't see a single soul.

The two were like headless flies. The woman with straight hair looked at the woman with curly hair.

"Qingyao, do you think he went into a room? Didn't they say he has a private room here? Which one is it?"

The woman named Qingyao replied, "I don't know! You know what our relationship is like; he never told me, so how would I know which room it is? Actually, I don't think he's here."

"He's already been drugged, and there are no other women here. He knows he's been drugged, and given his style, he should be rushing to the hospital by now. Forget it, it's been so long. If he was going to run, he's definitely long gone. We won't be able to catch him. Let's go, let's go. Today was a failure. We'll find another chance next time! Let's go back down and have fun."

The woman named Qingyao clenched her fists; she wouldn't let him escape so easily next time.
