Even After My Death

Qi Xingzhou frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable.

At this moment, he also realized that something was wrong with his body.

This familiar feeling...

He looked up at Jiang Ning with disbelief.

Jiang Ning immediately understood what he was thinking, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have been drugged again."

The Qi Family had always protected Qi Xingzhou very well, never allowing him to come into contact with such sinister means, but in recent years, Qi Xingzhou had been catching criminals with Jiang Ning, encountering countless dark sides.

The most memorable time was when Qi Xingzhou, due to his good looks, was directly targeted by criminals.

The two were separated at the time, and when Jiang Ning found Qi Xingzhou, he had already been drugged.

Scenes from the banquet tonight flashed through his mind, and Qi Xingzhou's eyes darkened slightly. Apart from the person who actively approached him tonight, there was no other possibility.

If he guessed right, when the other person deliberately took out a handkerchief and flicked it at him, that was already setting a trap for him.

Thinking of the sweet scent he smelled at that time, Qi Xingzhou felt a wave of nausea.

His body was getting hotter and hotter; he suddenly got up from the sofa, "I need to go to the hospital."

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Ning asked, "Do you know who drugged you?"

"Yes," Qi Xingzhou gritted his teeth, "She wants to take advantage of me."

Normally, when Qi Xingzhou encountered unpleasant things outside, he would sulkily seek comfort from Jiang Ning, just like when he came home and hugged Jiang Ning, trying to soak in her scent.

But now, in this situation... let alone hugging her, he needed immense willpower just to keep himself sober and not touch Jiang Ning impulsively.

When the drug's effects hadn't appeared, he couldn't feel any abnormalities.

But once the effects kicked in, the reaction was intense.

Qi Xingzhou's face was tense as he gritted his teeth and walked out.

Jiang Ning noticed his uneven steps and quickly reached out to support him.

At that touch, Jiang Ning discovered that Qi Xingzhou's body was scalding hot, like a volcano about to awaken.

Qi Xingzhou's reaction was even more intense, as Jiang Ning's simple touch, combined with the coolness emanating from her body, was almost addictive and made him utterly infatuated.

Jiang Ning naturally held a strong attraction for him, not to mention under such circumstances.

Rationality told Qi Xingzhou to push Jiang Ning away, to stay away from her, to avoid doing anything to harm her.

But the influence of the drug and his body's desires made him crave more.

A battle waged in his mind, a struggle.

Standing still, Qi Xingzhou's body was tense, and even a few seconds felt like an eternity as sweat beaded on his forehead.

Ultimately, rationality triumphed over desire, and Qi Xingzhou turned towards the bathroom, "Call Lu Ming, have him bring a doctor."

The drug's effects were too strong and intense; in his current state, the hospital was not an option.

As he spoke, Qi Xingzhou didn't even dare to look at Jiang Ning, and when heading to the bathroom, he turned his back, avoiding any more physical contact.

Watching his tall figure escape in a rush, Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow.

Qi Xingzhou enjoyed sharing every little detail of his life with Jiang Ning, even in short separations, he never forgot to update her.

Jiang Ning took out her phone, called Qin Feng, and informed him about Qi Xingzhou's drugging situation.

Hearing this, Qin Feng's expression instantly changed.

He had been with Qi Xingzhou the entire evening, except for... the time he went to the restroom!

Jiang Ning simply instructed Qin Feng, "Investigate."

The significance of Qi Xingzhou's status was unquestionable. Having just returned to the capital for a few days, he encountered such an incident.

Qin Feng understood the gravity of the situation, not daring to conceal anything, he immediately called Qi Chen.

Qi Chen was known to be fiercely protective of his brother, a fact known by not only the entire family but also the entire company staff, and even many within their circle knew about his ferocity in protecting his sibling.

When offended himself, Qi Chen might not be angry.

But if he knew his brother was bullied, Qi Chen would retaliate tenfold.

Soon, Qi Chen obtained the surveillance of the evening's gathering, identifying Tian Liang, the person who approached Qi Xingzhou, as the anomaly.

Tian Liang's small actions were nothing significant before Qi Chen.

Upon learning of Qi Xingzhou's identity, Tian Liang realized she had caused trouble.

As Qi Xingzhou and Qin Feng left the banquet, she quietly slipped away.

Even though she wasn't caught for the moment, Qi Chen learned from an informant that the powder on Tian Liang's handkerchief was a carefully concocted aphrodisiac, causing minimal harm to the body.

Upon knowing that Qi Xingzhou was only affected by an aphrodisiac and not any other drugs, Jiang Ning set her phone aside and headed to the bathroom.

Qi Xingzhou was allergic to antibiotics.

Last time, after being drugged, Qi Xingzhou avoided Jiang Ning and rushed to the hospital, resulting in a full-body allergic reaction due to emergency injections; Jiang Ning later redeemed an antidote from the System Mall to spare Qi Xingzhou from further embarrassment.

After finding those who drugged Qi Xingzhou, before handing them over to the police, Jiang Ning retaliated using their own method, increasing the dosage tenfold, leaving them with permanent trauma and scarring.

After Jiang Ning completed her last task, the System entered an upgrade state.

During the System's upgrade, Jiang Ning couldn't contact it or access the System Mall.

The previous method of redeeming an antidote from the System Mall wouldn't work this time.

Despite the bathroom door being tightly closed, the sound of running water could still be heard from inside.

Jiang Ning didn't enjoy taking baths, so when she purchased and renovated this house, she didn't install a bathtub.

She placed her hand on the doorknob, gently turned it, and found the door was not locked, opening a crack when pushed.

With a soft push, the gap widened, and the scene in the bathroom was revealed.

Qi Xingzhou stood half-leaning under the shower, water cascading down from his head, sliding over his fair, well-defined features and smooth chin, with soaking wet clothes clinging tightly to his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long, double-stemmed legs.

Qi Xingzhou hadn't noticed the bathroom door opening until the water overhead unexpectedly stopped.

He opened his eyes, dark lashes dense and wet, making it hard to see clearly.

Before Qi Xingzhou could wipe the water droplets from his face, Jiang Ning placed her hand on his shoulder, applying light pressure, "Lower your head."

Qi Xingzhou's mind hadn't caught up yet, but his body obediently followed upon recognizing Jiang Ning's voice.

A clean, gentle kiss landed on his lips.

Qi Xingzhou froze, hands shaking, looking in disbelief at the person so close to him.

Only when Jiang Ning, dissatisfied, lightly bit him did the string of rationality in Qi Xingzhou's mind snap instantly, his state akin to a dying fish desperately seeking water, as unchecked desires surged like a tidal wave.

The hand that initially intended to push Jiang Ning away now held her fiercely, hot breath washing over her neck, kisses landing on her skin, initially clumsy and slowly becoming insatiable and domineering.

The scene grew increasingly blurred, with every breath filled with scorching heat.

Initially able to remain calm, even Jiang Ning couldn't resist in the end, kicking the wild Qi Xingzhou with her leg.
