"I wonder who we're supposed to serve," said a woman with a well-maintained figure and heavy makeup.
"If it weren't for the money, I wouldn't lower myself to serve the same man alongside another woman."
"Enough already. You think you're the only one who's upset? Do you think I'm any less worthy than you?"
"Sigh, I wonder what he looks like. I have a feeling he might be some ugly, disfigured guy."
The two women walked over to the bed, and when they saw Lin Xuan lying there, their eyes lit up.
He was—he was incredibly handsome!
They had never seen such a good-looking man before!
And judging by his attire, he was clearly wealthy. This might be a chance not only to make money but also to latch onto a rich man.
The two women felt a surge of excitement.
The way they looked at Lin Xuan was as if he were prey.
"Xiao Xiao, this time we're not losing out."
"Yeah, he's way too handsome."
Unable to hold back, the two women reached out to start unbuttoning Lin Xuan's clothes.
Before they could touch him, Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in them.
"You!"
The two women were startled.
Wasn't he supposed to be drunk?
One of the women quickly composed herself and said, "Xiao Xiao, he's been drugged. It's fine. He might even come after us on his own."
"Right," the woman named Xiao Xiao sighed in relief.
"Is that so?" Lin Xuan sat up on the bed, his expression cold.
Just as he had suspected, Ye Li's plan was to frame him by making it seem like he was fooling around with other women. The goal was to send photos to Su Hua and make her give up on him. What Lin Xuan hadn't expected was that Ye Li would go so far as to send two women.
The two women looked at him suspiciously.
He didn't seem like he was under the influence of any drugs.
Lin Xuan pulled out two ropes from somewhere.
"What are you planning to do?" one of the women asked, a strong sense of fear rising in her heart.
"Nothing much. I just want you to stay put in this room."
Lin Xuan had no intention of letting them go. These people were crucial evidence to prove that Ye Li had drugged him.
Two mercenaries hiding in the shadows frowned.
It seemed the drug wasn't strong enough. They needed to step in and give Lin Xuan an extra dose.
They emerged from the shadows.
"Everyone's here now," Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. Perfect, he wouldn't have to hunt them down one by one.
"Mr. Lin," said a mercenary with a scarred face and a menacing expression, holding a small packet of powder. "If you know what's good for you, you'll take this yourself!"
"Sorry, but I don't know what's good for me," Lin Xuan sneered.
"In that case, don't blame us," the one-eyed mercenary said coldly.
The two mercenaries moved toward Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. It seemed he'd have to deal with these two men first before settling the score with Ye Li.
Lin Xuan had a handsome, gentle appearance, the very image of a young heartthrob. The two mercenaries assumed he had no fighting skills and thought it would be easy to subdue him and force him to take the drug.
The scarred mercenary reached for Lin Xuan's shoulder, but Lin Xuan suddenly grabbed his arm, twisted it, and threw him over his shoulder in a perfect judo throw.
The scarred mercenary's back hit the ground with a heavy thud.
The other mercenary's expression changed.
He had thought Lin Xuan was weak, but it turned out he had some skills.
This mercenary rushed forward with a punch, but Lin Xuan kicked him square in the chest, sending him flying.
"Cough, cough, cough," the mercenary clutched his chest, coughing painfully on the ground.
Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction. He had been training hard in the space, where countless martial arts masters would spar with him. He had often been beaten to a pulp, but it seemed those beatings hadn't been in vain.
Lin Xuan took out the ropes and tied up the two mercenaries.
Then, holding the ropes, he walked step by step toward the two women.
They were terrified, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. "We're sorry, we're sorry! We know we were wrong. Please spare us!"
One of the women even grabbed Lin Xuan's pant leg. "Sir, I'll give myself to you for free. Just please let me go."
The woman was dressed provocatively, her ample cleavage almost spilling out.
But Lin Xuan's eyes showed no emotion.
After his experience with Qin Ruoyao, he had become immune to women. Of course, Su Hua was an exception. Even if another woman stripped naked in front of him, his heart wouldn't stir in the slightest.
To him, they were no different from slabs of pork.
Lin Xuan said expressionlessly, "Sorry, but I have a girlfriend. I need to stay faithful to her."
Without any pity, Lin Xuan tied them up and stuffed rags into their mouths.
The two women had no idea what Lin Xuan would do to them, and they were consumed by a deep fear of the unknown.
Lin Xuan returned to the two mercenaries and pulled out a small knife, gently tracing it across their faces.
The two mercenaries didn't dare move a muscle.
"Listen, you can't do this to us. This is illegal!" the scarred mercenary said through gritted teeth.
"Illegal?" Lin Xuan sneered. "I'm just a victim defending myself. On the other hand, you two are mercenaries, right? You've committed plenty of crimes within the country. If you get caught, who knows if it'll be a death sentence?"
The two mercenaries clenched their fists tightly.
Lin Xuan moved the knife to the one-eyed mercenary's remaining good eye. "If I gouge this one out, will you be completely blind?"
The one-eyed mercenary shuddered.
"And you," Lin Xuan moved the knife to the scarred mercenary's lower body. "How about becoming a eunuch? I think I just castrated someone like this a month ago. The knife went in, twisted, and snapped it right off."
The scarred mercenary's eyes widened in horror.
The one-eyed mercenary also felt a chill between his legs.
From the look in Lin Xuan's eyes, they could tell he was serious. They could no longer maintain their composure.
"What do you want us to do? Just tell us, and we'll do it if we can."
Lin Xuan smiled faintly. "It's simple. Contact your employer and find a way to get him here."
"But..." the mercenary hesitated.
One of the main rules of their profession was never to reveal their employer's identity. If they called the employer here and their organization found out, they'd be stripped of their mercenary status!
"Seems like you're having a hard time deciding. Let me help you choose," Lin Xuan said, pressing the knife against the scarred mercenary's lower body again.
"One thrust, and it's gone, right?"
"I'll do it! Just don't ruin me!" the scarred mercenary stammered in fear.
He took out his phone and called Ye Li.
"How's the situation? Has Lin Xuan fallen for it?" Ye Li asked impatiently.
The scarred mercenary glanced nervously at Lin Xuan and replied, "Don't worry, sir. Everything's going as planned. But there's a small issue that requires your presence. It's a bit tricky."
