Chapter 1595 — A Bad Idea

"There's no time, you fool! We've both been drugged and it's about to kick in. We need to get back to our room and find a lady to take care of it right away — otherwise how are we going to catch Wei Zhao in the act?" Zhong Yongliang said.

"Ah, you're right!" Gao Xiaofu nodded. "But Paozi said this drug is unbelievably potent. Even if Shen Yushu is willing, Gu Mengyao definitely won't be. When Wei Zhao has them both at once — snap snap — we take our pictures and the fun begins!"

"Exactly. Xiaofu, you've gotten a lot smarter lately!" Zhong Yongliang nodded approvingly.

On the way back to his room, Wei Zhao increasingly sensed something was wrong. A wave of burning heat was spreading through his entire body! And judging from his medical expertise, this was certainly not a sign of having drunk too much wine — it was... he seemed to have been dosed with some kind of aphrodisiac!

An ordinary person might not have been able to make such a precise diagnosis, but though Wei Zhao did not know how he had been poisoned, he knew the symptoms of such poisoning inside and out!

"Not good!" Wei Zhao thought to himself, cursing his carelessness. The problem must have been in that cup of wine!

The only thing Wei Zhao could think of was the wine. But at the time he had deliberately inspected its quality — there should have been no drug in it. What's more, just to be safe, he had made Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu each drink a cup as well. That was the only reason he dared to drink it himself!

He had never expected that these two would willingly risk being poisoned themselves just to get him to drink. So what was their real objective?

Glancing at the lovely Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu beside him, Wei Zhao roughly guessed Zhong Yongliang's scheme. Presumably he wanted Wei Zhao to forcibly have his way with Gu Mengyao or Shen Yushu, and then use the scandal to ruin Wei Zhao's reputation — or Gu Mengyao's.

Such a trick seemed rather ordinary, but if carried out properly, it could produce unexpectedly devastating results. As for Xiaoshu, Wei Zhao was fairly confident — if he pushed her down, Xiaoshu might not resist. But the young lady... that was a different matter entirely!

Perhaps Zhong Yongliang had seen this exact vulnerability, which was why he had devised such a move! If the young lady struggled, Zhong Yongliang could film the whole scene, then publicly denounce Wei Zhao as a rapist. Even if Gu Mengyao denied it afterward, the damage to Wei Zhao's reputation would be immense.

At Zhang Naipao's side, Zhong Yongliang could not touch Wei Zhao, and with no other means at his disposal for the time being, tripping Wei Zhao up like this was not a bad choice!

Most importantly, everyone had been drinking, so he could completely deny that he was the one behind it — dodging all responsibility. This fellow was clever!

However, Wei Zhao was a peerless physician, and he was not particularly bothered by having been dosed with an aphrodisiac — he could simply administer acupuncture on himself to purge the poison. But what about Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu? How were they going to solve their problem?

The moment this thought struck Wei Zhao, a peculiar smile flickered across the corner of his mouth. He pulled out his phone and dialed Zou Ruoming directly!

"Master Lin! What are your instructions!" Zou Ruoming had been sound asleep at home when his phone rang. He had no intention of answering — he was about to pick it up and hang up when he caught sight of Wei Zhao's name on the caller ID. The sight jolted him wide awake in sheer panic, and he snatched up the phone in haste!

A lingering chill ran down his spine. Had he hung up that call, he and the entire Zou family would almost certainly have paid a terrible price!

"Tiandi Resort — that's your family's property, isn't it?" Wei Zhao asked.

"Yes, Master Lin. What are your instructions?" Zou Ruoming was startled. Could some manager at Tiandi Resort have been foolish enough to offend Wei Zhao? Zou Ruoming felt like cursing out loud — these people were making trouble for him! He couldn't even keep Wei Zhao appeased, and now someone was stirring up trouble on top of that?

"Oh, nothing serious. Does your place have ladies available?" Wei Zhao asked.

"Yes, yes! Does Master Lin need them?" Upon hearing that no one had offended Wei Zhao, Zou Ruoming's heart immediately relaxed. Thank goodness it was nothing serious!

"Good. Call your manager here tonight. Tell him that whoever requests a lady must be told there are none. Don't let any in from outside either!" Wei Zhao said to Zou Ruoming. "I trust you understand what I'm asking — and that you'll carry it out to the letter?"

"Rest assured, Master Lin — I'll see to it right away!" Though Zou Ruoming had no idea what Wei Zhao meant, he didn't need to know. Whatever Wei Zhao told him to do, he would simply do it. As long as Wei Zhao was satisfied, all would be well!

After hanging up, Zou Ruoming immediately dialed the resort manager, relaying Wei Zhao's instructions in an urgent tone. At the end, he threw in a threat: "Listen to me — handle this properly and I'll reward you. But if you mess this up, I won't let you off so easy as just packing your bags and getting out. If anything happens to me, I'll drag you down with me!"

Hearing Zou Ruoming's words, the resort manager nearly dropped dead from fright. He knew full well the Zou family's background — they were the sort of underworld figures you did not cross! With threats like that laid out so plainly, this task absolutely had to be done flawlessly!

So the resort manager had his staff gather every single lady under one roof, locking them all in the conference room — he was afraid they might take private bookings! Then he instructed all the security guards to close the main gates and stop admitting guests — all because he was terrified that some lady might slip in unnoticed...

The excuse did sound rather absurd, yet the resort manager carried it out to the letter with meticulous precision — leaving everyone thoroughly baffled...

Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu returned to their room and immediately called the front desk, asking them to send up two ladies. But they received this reply: "We are a legitimate, properly licensed resort. Such improper services do not exist here. We apologize for the inconvenience, sir!"

"Damn!" Zhong Yongliang nearly blew a fuse. Who were they trying to fool? Back when he had chosen this resort for their gathering, it was because he had played here before — and back then he had called up several ladies without any trouble! So Zhong Yongliang assumed whoever was on the line must be a new hire. "Get me your lobby manager," he demanded. "I want him to call me directly!"

"What do we do, Brother Liang? What if this place really doesn't offer that kind of service? What are we going to do?" Gao Xiaofu grew anxious the moment he heard the reply.

"No worries — I know their lobby manager. Back in the day, Brother Black Panther and I used to come here all the time..." As Zhong Yongliang said this, a wistful look crossed his face as he thought of Brother Black Panther. "Sigh... I wonder how Black Panther is doing these days..."
