Chapter 1306: Courting Death?!
"Is this the place?"
At this moment, Hao Jian drove his Enzo Car to the entrance of the meeting hotel. As soon as the security guards at the entrance saw Hao Jian's luxury car, they quickly stood up from their chairs and raised the barrier to let Hao Jian drive in slowly.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Hao Jian walked over leisurely and glanced at this extremely luxurious hotel, smiling slightly.
He once came here with Shu Ya. The restaurant inside was pretty good, and more importantly, the ingredients they used were exceptional, though also quite expensive.
Upon pushing open the main door, Hao Jian immediately spotted Shu Ya by the floor-to-ceiling window not far away. However, in front of her sat another man. Upon seeing this man, Hao Jian rubbed his nose; the man appeared quite young.
Taking a few steps forward, Hao Jian waved off a waiter trying to come up to him and walked in the direction of Shu Ya. But after a few steps, Hao Jian stopped, rubbed his chin, and shook his head.
"There's nothing going on with that girl Shu Ya right now, so it's not good for me to go up there..."
Reaching a small table, Hao Jian sat down. From this position, he could just lift his head to see what's going on with Shu Ya, which was quite convenient.
He gestured for the waiter to come over; he needed to eat, after all, he hadn't had dinner yet...
The reason he didn't go over was that Hao Jian didn't want to disturb Shu Ya's business. Although Shu Ya never mentioned this to him, he had said that if business wasn't too tricky, it didn't need to be discussed with him.
But seeing that Shu Ya had arranged to meet someone here showed that she valued this business deal quite a bit. Since she valued it, he even more so couldn't go up and ruin it.
Currently, all he saw was Shu Ya chatting with that man, with no physical contact or anything else happening. Hao Jian didn't know if anything would happen, so he had to stay vigilant.
Rashly going up there would not solve any problem and would also ruin Shu Ya's business. At that point, what he would have to face wouldn't be something, but an angry Shu Ya.
Remembering how Shu Ya looked when she got angry, Hao Jian shuddered and gave a bitter smile.
"Sir, may I ask what you need?"
At this time, a waiter came over and handed the menu to Hao Jian, smiling slightly.
"Just bring me a Snowflake Steak, medium rare, and a glass of red wine, something nice."
Hao Jian didn't even open the menu; he just told the waiter directly. The waiter just nodded, assuming Hao Jian was a regular customer here.
After ordering, Hao Jian turned his gaze back to Shu Ya's table, seeing they still hadn't done anything, he sat there idly.
But just as Hao Jian's dish arrived and he was about to start cutting, he suddenly saw Shu Ya stand up, nod at Zheng Hai, and head towards the restroom.
Seeing Shu Ya go to the restroom, Hao Jian hesitated for a moment but didn't follow. Instead, he focused his gaze on that Zheng Hai.
Once Shu Ya left the restaurant hall, Hao Jian immediately noticed Zheng Hai peering around suspiciously, his actions making Hao Jian narrow his eyes slightly.
"Is this guy finally getting restless?"
Seeing Zheng Hai move, Hao Jian's lips curled into a slight smile, though he didn't step forward, planning to see what this guy intended to do.
Soon enough, Hao Jian knew what Zheng Hai wanted to do...
"Stupid woman, already so grown up, yet putting on that innocent act?"
Looking at the empty seat, Zheng Hai sneered. Actually, he had his eyes on Shu Ya for a while and had subtly hinted at it during their previous conversations, but she remained indifferent.
"Pretending not to hear, huh? Then don't blame me..."
Zheng Hai's lips curled into a sinister grin. He suddenly pulled out a small clear bag containing white powder from his pocket.
"Heh heh heh, hope you can hold on!"
Clutching the little bag in his hand slightly, Zheng Hai chuckled. What he was doing now was also part of his hobby. Originally, he wanted to see if he could get Shu Ya through surface-level means.
But after a series of probes, Zheng Hai decided to take a shady approach because, for someone who loved women as much as he did, a woman like Shu Ya was irresistible.
To maintain his composure in front of Shu Ya had already been incredibly difficult, and he finally managed to send her to the restroom to get her out of the way.
If he didn't do something, Zheng Hai feared he'd regret it intensely.
"Using drugs and force has always been my favorite method, just thinking about it excites me!"
Zheng Hai carefully opened a small slit in the little bag and then poured some of it into Shu Ya's wine glass, shook the glass to dissolve the white powder into the wine, and quickly stowed the bag away.
This package was brought to him by a friend from the USA. It could absolutely turn an innocent nun into a wild woman. Zheng Hai had used its potency on other women before; that time, he was squeezed dry, almost breaking his waist.
Now encountering Shu Ya, even if it breaks, so be it. If he doesn't get a taste of such a woman, Zheng Hai would regret it.
"That bastard!"
Zheng Hai's methods, which he thought no one knew about, were all seen by Hao Jian from a distance. Seeing that he dared to drug Shu Ya, Hao Jian's face turned extremely grim.
Had he not come this time, would Zheng Hai have succeeded? After all, it's hard to guard against drugging, and it made him shiver with fear.
If today, because of Shen Ling's issue, he suppressed the irritation in his heart, perhaps Shu Ya would still be violated by such a scoundrel?
"Spice Ginger is really careless!"
Clutching the fork in his hand, Hao Jian's eyes were filled with subtle anger. Originally, he had asked Spice Ginger to keep an eye on his beauties, ensuring nothing happened to them.
But now, to leave Shu Ya alone here? Without any company? Is this a plan to let his beauties get into trouble?!
Suppressing the urge to immediately call and scold Spice Ginger, his eyes were fixed on Zheng Hai.
Both his fists slightly clenched, the knife and fork were already deformed in his grip...
At this moment, he wanted to rush out and show Zheng Hai his strength, but he hesitated. Since Zheng Hai dared to do this here, it meant he had a backup plan.
Although Hao Jian wasn't worried about Zheng Hai's backup plan, he was concerned about Shu Ya's reputation. In such a public place, confronting Zheng Hai without evidence of his drugging would damage both sides' reputations.
This caution lingered in Hao Jian's mind. Furthermore, Shu Ya wasn't present; even if he made a scene now, Zheng Hai might not confess.
After all, if caught, Zheng Hai could easily set up numerous scapegoats...
"But kid, enjoy a moment of triumph. When that careless girl Shu Ya comes out, I'll expose your true face in front of her!"
Using all his strength, he cut a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing while keeping a sharp eye on Zheng Hai to see what else he might do.
If there was anything more, then fine, settle it all together!
Here in Hua City, no one could touch his women. If anyone tried, no matter who they were, he'd deal with them directly!
"Heh heh, little beauty, soon you'll be delirious with pleasure!"
As time ticked by, Zheng Hai became increasingly anxious, drinking a sip of red wine, its cool temperature slightly soothing his restless heart.
But soon, the burning in his abdomen made it increasingly difficult to endure.
He occasionally turned his head, hoping to see Shu Ya return. He was impatient, but no matter how many times he turned, Shu Ya still didn't appear, making him more anxious.
Realizing his impatience, Zheng Hai quickly shook his head and thought of other things to distract himself.
"Heh heh, those old fossils at home, always told me to respect Shu Ya and not have unrealistic thoughts about her when I came here..."
"And now that I've taken down this woman, making her the Zheng family's daughter-in-law, wonder if those old guys will see me differently?"
Zheng Hai's thoughts were simple: to secure Shu Ya, which meant essentially acquiring Shu Ya Group. A group slightly stronger than the Zheng family, once merged, he couldn't imagine how powerful their family would become.
In terms of potential, the Zheng family's development had reached a bottleneck, which he discovered not long ago. Otherwise, it wouldn't be just a minor improvement for the Zheng family.
But Shu Ya Group? Their potential was enormous. Compared to the Zheng family's decline, Shu Ya Group seemed to be flourishing!
Zheng Hai saw this clearly.
So this time, he wanted not just Shu Ya but the Shu Ya Group behind her! This would undoubtedly be a revival for the Zheng family!
Unfortunately, Zheng Hai failed to notice that one of the reasons for Shu Ya Group's rapid growth these years was something many couldn't fathom...
And that very cause of their growth was now watching him with a pair of indifferent eyes, slightly dangerous.
"She's out?"
Suddenly, Zheng Hai heard some noise from behind. He instinctively turned his head, seeing Shu Ya coming around the corner, and immediately his face darkened!
