Chapter 1038 - Chapter 1038 Chapter 1038 Why Should You Benefit from This

Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: Why Should You Benefit from This! Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: Why Should You Benefit from This! By the time Ye Mingmei returned to the bar, there was no one left at the counter.

She glanced back and realized those people were all dancing on the dance floor.

Having just had a vigorous dance, her calves still felt sore, so after some thought, she decided to stay at the bar.

With no one to talk to, she aimlessly swirled the cocktail in her stemmed glass.

Drinking a little now and then.

After waiting for a while with no one returning, Ye Mingmei started to feel light-headed and an inexplicable heat throughout her body, as if she had a fever.

After finishing the drink in her glass, she put down the empty cup and stood up from the bar.

She let the server know she’d leave first and asked them to pass the message to the others before unsteadily exiting the pub.

Once outside, the cool night breeze made her slightly more alert for a moment.

But the heat inside her seemed to rise even higher, making her entire being feel as though it was caught between ice and fire, so uncomfortable that she clutched at her collar.

The dance from before had made her the center of attention in the pub, and many men wanted to find the chance to strike up a conversation, but there had always been someone by her side.

Now alone, several people followed her out of the pub…

…

In a private room.

Yu Xiuzhun was discussing business with a client when someone hurried to his side and whispered a few words in his ear.

“She left alone?”

“Yes, Miss Ye seemed a bit off. I pulled up the bar’s security footage from earlier, and it looks like she might have been drugged. She just left the pub, and a bunch of people followed her out.”

“…”

Yu Xiuzhun’s gaze wavered, remembering the dance from before, he could even recall the faint fragrance of her perfume.

Combined with her naturally blushing reaction to his touch, Yu Xiuzhun was confident she was untouched. It would indeed be a pity if she were to be spoiled by someone else.

“I have something tonight. Let’s postpone the deal by a day. I’ll give you an answer by tomorrow at the latest,” Yu Xiuzhun rose from the sofa and glanced at the middle-aged man sitting across from him.

Seeing the other party merely shrug without objection, he stepped out of the private room.

By the time he got outside the pub, Ye Mingmei was nowhere to be seen.

“Where is she?”

“She went towards the stone bridge up ahead. That stretch is dark, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to go much further if she reaches there.”

“…”

Yu Xiuzhun narrowed his eyes and quickly followed in pursuit.

When he arrived, Ye Mingmei was being surrounded by a group of thugs, her slender body curled up by the bridge, so uncomfortable that she was tugging at her clothes, her soft moans enticing the men nearby to become even more restless.

“We saw her first, why should you get the advantage!”

“Because my fist is bigger, believe it or not, one punch from me and you’ll be looking for teeth on the ground?”

“Pfft, as if you…”

“…”

The leading thugs were quarreling over who should take her.

If not for their dispute, Ye Mingmei would likely have already been ravished.

Yu Xiuzhun slowed his pace, leisurely approaching Ye Mingmei, stopping about ten or so meters away with his arms folded, watching the commotion.

The two sides quarreled for a while but couldn’t reach a conclusion, it was Yu Xiuzhun, the spectator, who grew impatient.

He reached into his pocket for his cigarette pack, drew one out and lit it.

The faint glow of the flame in the darkness was especially clear, illuminating the man’s spectral visage.

“Save me…”

Ye Mingmei lay on the stone bridge across from him, having seen him from the second he appeared.

But the light was too dim, she couldn’t see clearly, and wasn’t sure.

It was only after he lit his cigarette that Ye Mingmei was certain it was the man she had danced passionately with before.

Clutching at her last shred of rationality, she called out for help.

As her voice fell, the attention of both sides, in a split second, focused on the man who seemed to drop from the sky…
