Chen Zao didn't care whether Rong Liya was about to faint; she continued to admonish Qin Sheng, "Did you understand what I said?"
"I understood, I understood."
To avoid getting hit, Qin Sheng now had to repeat himself twice, just in case Chen Zao missed something and decided to slap him.
"Then repeat it back to me. How should you atone for yourself?"
"Before January, donate 540,008 to the Charity Association to redeem myself."
"A promising student indeed." Chen Zao patted Qin Sheng's battered cheek with satisfaction and stood up, saying, "Alright, since you know how to atone for yourself, you can leave now."
"I can go?"
"If you don't want to walk out, you can roll out, crawl out, or even walk out upside down. Just make sure you disappear from this room within one second. Sister Rong and I have things to discuss; don't disturb us."
Chen Zao turned back and politely smiled at Rong Liya, causing her to shiver as if a black wolf were preparing to greet a hen for the New Year.
She quickly looked towards Qin Sheng for help.
Although Qin Sheng was a beast, he still had some sense left, much better than this crazy person Chen Zao!
Rong Liya looked at Qin Sheng anxiously and pitifully, hoping he would take her with him or at least help call the police to rescue her.
At that moment, however, Qin Sheng was like a clay Buddha crossing a river—he could barely save himself and had no time to worry about Rong Liya.
Chen Zao ordered him to leave the room within one second, and how could he dare to disobey?
He didn’t even bother to pick up his pants, enduring the pain from his numerous injuries as Qin Sheng scrambled out of that nightmarish "prison."
Once he crawled into the hotel corridor, Qin Sheng finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief, leaning against the wall to stand up.
It truly felt like a different world, a life spared!
Qin Sheng couldn’t believe that Chen Zao would let him go in such a manner.
He had thought that Chen Zao had more schemes planned to extort money from him.
Why was he let go just like that?
Did the vendor selling Roujiamo really think he would comply and donate just because he said he would?
He was just a foolish mountain bumpkin!
Damn it!
If he didn’t repay today’s grudge a hundredfold or a thousandfold against that lunatic, then he wouldn’t be surnamed Qin!
Not only did he want revenge on Chen Zao, but Qin Sheng also wanted to get back at Rong Liya!
In short, the anger he felt tonight would be repaid a thousandfold, ten thousandfold, on those two scoundrels!
Qin Sheng had just escaped from the living room when Chen Zao suddenly exclaimed, as if he had forgotten something, startling Rong Liya.
Chen Zao wiped the blood splattered on his hands with a tissue and walked over to the sofa, trying to reassure Rong Liya, who was sitting stiffly with her legs tightly pressed together as if glued: "You don't need to be afraid; that bastard has already been chased off by me."
Rong Liya nervously shifted to the other end of the sofa, thinking that while that scoundrel was gone, a more terrifying presence still remained!
"Don't be tense; I'm not a bad person."
Seeing Rong Liya like a startled bird, Chen Zao hurried to calm her down.
He took off his baseball cap and placed it on the coffee table before sitting at the other end of the sofa, deliberately keeping a distance of more than a meter from Rong Liya.
Rong Liya felt as if she were locked in a cage with a wild beast that might bite at any moment; her heart was racing!
Trying to gather her courage, she dared not meet Chen Zao's gaze. Instead, she lowered her head and focused on his tightly fitted black shirt that accentuated his chest. In a timid voice, she said, "Mr. Chen, we may have had some misunderstandings before. I hope you won't take it to heart. Thank you for saving me just now."
"It was nothing; no need to mention it. As long as you understand it was a misunderstanding, I won’t elaborate further."
Rong Liya mustered her courage and said, "I don’t know why you came to see me so late tonight, but I can agree to some reasonable requests, like taking a photo or an autograph. I hope that once those are fulfilled, you can leave the hotel as soon as possible."
A photo?
"Signature?"
Chen Zao was taken aback and exclaimed, "No way, do you think I'm your crazy fan?"
Rong Liya quickly corrected him, "You're not a crazy fan; you're just someone who really likes me. I understand."
"You understand nothing!"
It felt like a huge insult to him. Chen Zao retorted, "With your terrible acting skills, how could I possibly be your fan? Please don't insult my taste! I grew up in Film and Television City and have seen actors perform live countless times. I'm not trying to belittle you, Sister Rong, but your acting is genuinely awful. You're not even as natural as many of the lesser-known actresses in low-tier productions. It's amazing that you became famous without any talent at such a young age. But now I understand; you must have a wealthy backer supporting you."
"—Boom!"
It felt like a gas canister exploded inside Rong Liya, and every pore on her body was about to burst with anger!
She had never been ridiculed like this in front of someone before!
Glaring fiercely at Chen Zao, Rong Liya wanted to call him trash! A pervert!
But she didn’t dare to say it out loud.
She could only swallow her anger for now.
"Don't blame me for being blunt, but I really think your acting is terrible. Beautiful actresses often lack acting skills, and you must be one of those pretty faces with no substance. Don't get me wrong; I'm not complimenting your looks; I'm saying you can't act."
"Are you done yet?" Rong Liya snapped, unable to maintain her composure in the face of mockery.
"You don't need to get angry; it's a fact that you're angry. I don't believe you haven't seen what others say about your acting online. If you really think people are wronging you, then show us some convincing work. Stop taking on trashy films, or you'll never shake off that vase label."
"What films I take on is none of your business!"
"I'm not meddling; I'm just making a suggestion. You can listen if you want, or ignore it if you don't."
"What are you doing showing up at my hotel so late and spying on me from the balcony? What do you want?" Fueled by anger, Rong Liya glared at Chen Zao.
"Hey, I didn't spy on you. This is just like the misunderstanding we had at Old Gou Hot Spring; it's purely coincidental."
"Coincidental? Ha! That's quite the coincidence!" Rong Liya certainly didn't believe Chen Zao's explanation of coincidence.
"You probably don't know this, but I used to work at Yuehao Hotel. Whenever I felt wronged, I liked to come to this hotel rooftop to stargaze. Tonight is no different; I came here to look at the stars. Thanks to your crew, I've been falsely accused of being a pervert and a voyeur. I can't even show my face in Gubei Town anymore; it's so humiliating! So, when my mood dropped, I came to the rooftop of Yuehao to stargaze. I had no idea you were staying here until I vaguely heard someone downstairs talking about getting revenge on the pervert from Old Gou Hot Spring. My curiosity got the better of me, and I couldn't help but sneak down to check it out. And then I stumbled upon quite the scene."
Chen Zao never stuttered when telling stories. As he spoke this long string of words, Rong Liya was unsure whether she was more angry or feeling the effects of the medication again. A wave of heat surged through her body, and beads of sweat began to form.
She felt restless, unsure where to place her hands. It felt as if a fire ignited beneath her, causing a tingling sensation in her abdomen, and she was nearly overwhelmed with desire. She wanted nothing more than to shed her constricting robe and ride Chen Zao, unleashing all her pent-up frustration!
