Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 974 - 973 You Know What You Ate!

"Alright, sir..."

After recording the dishes, the waiter retrieved the menu from the two individuals and walked toward the front desk. Placing the menu there, he then turned and headed toward the wine cabinet.

"Pop!"

Taking out a bottle of 1982 Lafite, the waiter uncorked it. Then, from a nearby cabinet, he fetched two tall wine glasses and a decanter. He poured the wine into the decanter to let it breathe. Twenty minutes later, he meticulously poured the wine from the decanter into the two glasses.

"Ah, I almost forgot about this..."

As he spoke, the waiter discreetly flipped out a small pink pill, resembling a tablet. He dropped it into one of the glasses and gently swirled the wine. The pill dissolved seamlessly, leaving no trace that the glass had been drugged...

"What a pity, such a stunning beauty..."

The waiter had been bribed by Yan Ming and, having worked at the hotel for years, was no stranger to similar shady deeds. He no longer felt the tension of being caught; instead, he lamented that such an extraordinary beauty would fall victim to a man like this tonight...

More than once, he fantasized about being the one with that woman, but he knew it was nothing more than a pipe dream. Not to mention the benefits Yan Ming provided, his years of discreet work had kept him from being exposed. His "integrity" was the only thing keeping him from landing in jail multiple times over.

"Here are your wines, sir and madam."

Carrying two glasses of wine, the waiter approached the table where Yan Ming and Ye Linglan sat. He placed the untainted glass in front of Yan Ming and the drugged one in front of Ye Linglan. He then positioned the decanter to the side of the table. After completing these tasks, he began delivering the dishes, one by one.

"Enjoy your meal..."

Finishing his duties, the waiter smiled faintly and left. As he departed, he made a discreet hand gesture toward Yan Ming, signaling that everything was ready.

Yan Ming, catching the gesture clearly, felt a knowing satisfaction. Now, all that remained was to find a way to make Ye Linglan drink the wine. Once that happened, his plan would be complete...

Meanwhile, Hao Jian slowly drove his Enzo car into the parking lot. After parking the vehicle, he scanned the area and spotted Ye Linglan and Yan Ming seated by the window. Noticing the lecherous glint in Yan Ming's eyes, Hao Jian's expression darkened slightly.

"Spice Ginger, are you guys in position?"

While glancing upstairs, he picked up his phone and called Spice Ginger. As the call connected, Hao Jian's slightly low voice came through. Moments later, a response came from the other end.

"Young Master Hao, we're already here. Do you need us to come to you now?!"

Even before Ye Linglan arrived at the hotel over ten minutes ago, Hao Jian's team had already infiltrated. With combat experience, they had selected the most advantageous observation points, securing the perimeter while Spice Ginger dispatched ten operatives into the hotel to surveil various floors.

"No need. Just focus on your tasks. If I need you later, I'll call. If I don't, stay on surveillance and interception—it's all up to me!"

Hao Jian reflected briefly before speaking.

Acting alone would reduce his chances of being spotted. If Spice Ginger and his team followed, their presence would likely give away their position immediately. If Yan Ming caught wind and reverted to his fake, gentlemanly facade in front of Ye Linglan, Hao Jian's hands would be tied.

On the way here, Hao Jian had already planned to let Yan Ming make the first move. Ideally, he wanted Yan Ming to create a situation where Hao Jian could justifiably eliminate him in front of Ye Linglan.

He didn't want to kill Yan Ming without providing any justification to reassure Ye Linglan afterward. If that happened, Ye Linglan might feel nothing but guilt, an outcome Hao Jian sought to avoid.

"Understood!"

Spice Ginger immediately responded, summoning the only subordinate nearby and murmuring instructions into his ear: "Go now and have headquarters send over ten more people. With Young Master Hao present, the odds of failure are slim, but we must be prepared to clean up any mistakes. Go quickly!"

Spice Ginger, unwilling to waste more time explaining, knew this subordinate was unlikely to fully grasp the situation anyway. Better to focus on getting the job done.

Yan Ming, however, remained oblivious to what was happening outside the hotel. His attention was glued to Ye Linglan as she slowly lifted the glass of wine. Under his eager and feigned concern, she brought the glass to her lips...

What's happening?!

After drinking, Ye Linglan's heart began to pound uncontrollably. Her face flushed crimson, and her eyes started clouding, losing focus...

"Rustle, rustle..."

A sudden yearning radiated from her lower body, overwhelming her with an unbearable desire. Instinctively, she wanted to touch herself to alleviate it. Just as her hand moved, she bit her tongue sharply, suppressing the sensation temporarily. But only for a few seconds—then, the intense wave crashed back, even stronger than before!

You think you can resist my potent drug with just willpower?

Watching her reaction, Yan Ming's lips curled into a cold smile. The drug provided by the USA was his secret weapon. A mere half-dose was said to drive a cow insane with lust. Ye Linglan? She'd consumed a full pill.

Without a cure, the drug would either kill her or burn her alive from within.

The so-called cure wasn't overly complex: a man and a woman needed to "neutralize" the drug through intimacy gradually.

Even if Ye Linglan discovered later what he had done to her, Yan Ming wouldn't face repercussions. The drug left no traces; once metabolized, not even advanced medical tests could detect it!

Over the years, Yan Ming had used this drug to ruin countless women, always targeting those beneath him in status. For safety, he avoided challenging high-profile targets—until now.

"Linglan, are you alright?"

Seeing his opportunity, Yan Ming leaned closer, his breath warm against Ye Linglan's ear. The sensation only deepened her daze until, finally, weakened, she pointed at him and asked hoarsely, "What... What did you give me...?"

"You should know better than anyone," Yan Ming sneered. "How is it? Enjoying the effects of this drug?!"

He reminisced about his first time using it—how misjudging the dosage nearly left him incapacitated after being ravaged. The woman had spiraled into insanity afterward, reduced to a shell of her former self.

Giving Ye Linglan the same dose meant only two outcomes: death or complete ruination. Either way, his actions would remain hidden, preserving his reputation.

As everything unfolded according to plan, Yan Ming's satisfaction grew. You think you can stay pure, huh? Let's see how long you last under the drug's effects!

"You... You..."

Ye Linglan already understood the horrific truth. How naive she had been to believe this man could change. She had stepped right into his trap...

"He won't forgive you..."

With those faint words, Ye Linglan's head drooped onto the table with a soft thud, seemingly unconscious.

But it wasn't the drug that knocked her out. Instead, she had sealed her energy points to delay its effects.

Fortunately, her training made this possible; without it, she wouldn't have had any recourse.

"Finally!"

Gazing at the unconscious Ye Linglan sprawled beautifully, Yan Ming felt a surge of heat in his stomach. He eagerly called the nearby waiter...

On the ninth floor of the hotel, Yan Ming had reserved a room. With the waiter's help, they carried her there, placing her on the bed.

After paying the waiter, Yan Ming approached the room with a lecherous grin.

Unbeknownst to him, every move he had made was under Hao Jian's surveillance. The only oversight? Yan Ming's use of the drug—it had been too subtle for Hao Jian to detect from outside the restaurant.
