Black Tiger has reached his current status not by chance, so even if his strength cannot be compared to the Lin family, he should not be afraid of a small team of bodyguards from the Lin family. Moreover, Black Tiger knows that he has taken down the most threatening individuals around Lin Mei, Zhang San and Li Si, without any effort, and the bodyguards outside are likely unaware of this.
"Ha ha... Miss Lin Mei, why bother? I originally didn't want to tear my face with your Lin family, but now it seems a pity not to leave you with something to remember me by. After all, from now on, I will be a thorn in your side, won't I?" At this moment, Black Tiger felt quite pleased. The room they were in was a conference room, and he knew that it had excellent soundproofing. Therefore, he could confidently speak to Lin Mei without fear of being overheard by her bodyguards outside.
When a person, especially one at a relatively low position, poses an unimaginable threat to someone they have always looked up to, it is natural for them to feel a surge of arrogance. Black Tiger was experiencing this feeling at that moment.
However, what Black Tiger did not expect was that his words in what he believed to be a soundproof conference room confirmed Lin Feng's suspicion that something was indeed wrong with Lin Mei inside.
At this moment, Lin Feng was hesitating whether to rush in and save her. Although he was currently wearing the bodyguard suit of the Lin family, he honestly did not feel like he was one of their bodyguards yet.
Thus, Lin Feng was quite conflicted. After all, Lin Mei had brought him into her company with unclear intentions.
Moreover, Lin Feng was currently acting as a spy. Although his only superior was He Ting, he still considered himself a spy. As a spy, even if he had never done it before, he understood the nature of the profession.
A spy must remain low-key and operate secretly to complete their mission without being detected and then leave safely.
This understanding of espionage aligned well with Lin Feng's usual approach to life. This is also why he chose to hide his abilities and willingly act as a minor bodyguard.
If he were to save Lin Mei now, would that mean exposing himself?
"For example, how could you know I was in danger? How could you save me when Zhang San and Li Si were already knocked out?" Just thinking about how this beautiful and intelligent woman might question him after he saved her made Lin Feng feel an inexplicable sense of anxiety. If he helped her only to be doubted in return, who wouldn't feel troubled?
The answer is no one would remain calm under such circumstances; thus, Lin Feng felt very conflicted.
After some internal struggle, Lin Feng decided to observe the situation further. After all, Lin Mei had only been affected by the Divine Three-Step Fall; it would be wise to assess any potential danger first.
He even began to release his Mental Power to monitor the movements inside while praying that perhaps Zhang San and Li Si were just pretending to be unconscious—though the likelihood of that was slim.
After all, Lin Feng knew that Black Tiger possessing such a drug as the Divine Three-Step Fall was quite surprising; even Tesla himself had never heard of it. Lin Feng recalled that this drug only existed in novels.
Lin Feng listened intently but realized that Lin Mei had not said anything further; in fact, he knew she had not lost consciousness yet.
Lin Feng could release his Mental Power to detect sounds and determine whether certain materials existed, but Mental Power did not equate to sight. It was similar to a bat's sonar, allowing him to sense the location or existence of certain things, but he could not form images in his mind. This meant that Lin Feng could not "see" whether Lin Mei had fainted.
However, although Lin Feng could not see Lin Mei, he could sense through the feedback from his Mental Power that Lin Mei was not only conscious but was desperately turning her head, trying to find a way to escape.
After all, Lin Mei knew she had truly fallen into a trap this time. The move executed by Black Tiger had completely caught her off guard. Because of this realization, Lin Mei understood that Zhang San and Li Si's fainting was undoubtedly genuine.
But now, Lin Mei found herself unable to move. She couldn't shout for help outside, and even if she could call the others in, she didn't believe that any ordinary bodyguard would have a way to counteract what had happened, especially since even Zhang San and Li Si had been affected.
At this moment, Lin Mei felt a deep sense of despair as she realized that she truly had no way to deal with Black Tiger.
"Hehe... I, Black Tiger, am a rough man but I also appreciate beauty. Miss Lin Mei, in fact, I have admired you for a long time," Black Tiger said as he approached Lin Mei with a glass in hand.
If it were any other time, hearing Black Tiger's words would have allowed Lin Mei to easily make a move or give an order that would make him pay for his disrespect. But now, in this situation where he held all the power, Lin Mei could only endure and maintain her composure, even though she desperately wanted to step forward and slap Black Tiger across the face.
Yet reason told her she couldn't do that. She knew very well that Black Tiger dared to act this way precisely because he knew she couldn't move.
"Hehe... Since Miss Lin Mei remains silent, does that mean you tacitly accept my admiration? It's just the modesty of a girl," Black Tiger continued when Lin Mei did not respond.
His self-questioning and answering almost made Lin Feng, who was "listening in" from outside, burst out laughing. This guy really was something else; his audacity was extraordinary.
Lin Mei felt utterly speechless at this moment. However, she understood that denying Black Tiger's words would hold no significance; after all, this was his territory. Since she was in a passive position now, he could say whatever he wanted. What concerned her more was whether Black Tiger would actually make any inappropriate moves toward her.
If it came to that, Lin Mei knew that Black Tiger would definitely not survive until tomorrow. But she would also be abandoned by the Lin family. After all, being born into the Lin family meant understanding that such a feudal and powerful family would not tolerate any flaws in her.
It should be noted that the only Young Master of the Lin family who had been missing for over twenty years was not only Xiao Yue's husband but also Lin Mei's man. Yes, even though Lin Mei did not know what the Young Master looked like, she knew her fate was already sealed; she was destined to be his woman. Although she felt some helplessness about this fate, there was more acceptance because she understood that if the Lin family had not adopted her during that cold winter when she was just five years old, she would not have survived.
Thus, regarding the demands of the Lin family on her, she had only one response: obedience.
Therefore, she always treated Xiao Yue as a sister, even though she also knew that her existence was due to the Lin family's ongoing distrust of the Xiao family. She realized that if the Young Master were to appear, Xiao Yue could only be the superficial wife meant to carry on the family line while she would be the one most trusted by the Young Master.
The powerful Lin family had yet to find their grandson but their highest leader had already made all preparations for him.
"Hehe, beautiful lady, since that's the case, let's not waste any time. Let's start our wedding night tonight," Black Tiger said as he reached Lin Mei's side and extended his hand to touch her cheek with a lewd smile on his face.
In this situation, Lin Mei could only barely avoid Black Tiger's lewd advances; she truly couldn't do anything else. She knew that as long as it wasn't the final moment, she had to remain calm and not act rashly. Having witnessed Zhang San and Li Si fall unconscious after just a few steps, Lin Mei had to believe that there really was a "Divine Three-Step Fall," a legendary drug she had thought only existed in tales.
She understood that if she were to lose consciousness, who knew what Black Tiger would do to her—things that made her scalp tingle just thinking about them.
So, all Lin Mei could do now was stay calm and try not to faint.
Even though she knew that as long as Black Tiger wanted, she would be forced to do things she didn't want to do, including losing her purity.
If that were to happen, Lin Mei believed that as long as she still had breath in her body, she would do her utmost to kill Black Tiger and then die in atonement, thanking the Lin family for treating her like their own daughter over the years.
"Hehe... It seems the beauty is still shy. In that case, we'll take our time." Seeing Lin Mei's demeanor, Black Tiger was itching to carry her to bed right away, but he still said this, clearly enjoying the feeling of having the usually aloof Lin Mei under his control. After all, to Black Tiger, Lin Mei was an untouchable cold goddess.
Hearing Black Tiger's words, Lin Mei finally let out a sigh of relief.
"How about this? You take this medicine, and then we can play slowly. By then, I believe you won't be shy anymore." Before Lin Mei could fully relax, Black Tiger pulled out a vial and said to her.
"You..." At this moment, even if Lin Mei were foolish, she knew what kind of drug Black Tiger held in his hand. She truly wished she could just knock herself out against a wall. But she understood that unless all hope was truly lost, she wouldn't just give up like this. She was unwilling—unwilling to be ruined by a scoundrel like Black Tiger.
"Hehe... I've been looking for this medicine for a long time; it's mine now." Just when Lin Mei was filled with despair and anger, a voice came through that made her want to slap him. Yet oddly enough, hearing those words at such a moment warmed her heart and gave her a sense of reliance.
