Liao Zhicheng's mouth twitched unnaturally when he saw Li Rui paying attention to the bottle of wine. He wanted to deny it, but he was afraid that Li Rui would go forward and check it, so he could only force himself to say, "Yes, what's wrong? That's Louis XIII that Vicky brought back from Hong Kong. One bottle costs tens of thousands. If County Magistrate Bu wasn't a close friend of mine, I wouldn't even buy her a bottle. "
Li Rui sneered, "What's wrong? I suspect that you guys put drugs in that bottle. Otherwise, how could County Magistrate Bu be so drunk after just one glass? I'm going to call the police and ask the County Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Unit to send technicians over to test the contents of this bottle of wine. "
Liao Zhicheng was so scared that his face turned white. He didn't know what to do.
Vicky reacted quickly and said angrily, "County Magistrate Li, what are you going to do? First, you suspect our good intentions, and now you suspect the wine that I bought. Are you going to suspect me as well? I'm telling you, you better leave now, or I'll call the police and sue you for harassment. "
Li Rui sneered, "Beauty, please think before you speak. The County Magistrate is lying in the room, and the Deputy Magistrate is suspecting you. Who do you think the County Magistrate will help? You want to sue me for harassment? Why don't you try? "
Liao Zhicheng went forward and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Li, I have to say that you're thinking too much. This bottle of Louis XIII is just a little strong. How could there be drugs in it? Why would we add drugs in it? What's the use of that? "He then gave Vicky a look.
Vicky walked out angrily and said, "I'm going to call the police. This is too much!"
Li Rui noticed Liao Zhicheng's look. Although he didn't know what he meant, he knew that he couldn't let Vicky go out. He went up and grabbed Vicky's arm, pulled her back, and pushed her to the balcony in the bedroom. He shouted, "You can't leave. If you want to call the police, do it in the room!" He then pointed at Liao Zhicheng and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Did you forget what you did to the guest house manager last night? A beast like you still has the face to explain to me? "
Liao Zhicheng smiled and said, "I drank too much last night, but I'm actually a good person …" He then instructed Vicky, "Since County Magistrate Li suspects that bottle of wine, Vicky, you drink it and prove to County Magistrate Li that the wine is powerful."
Vicky understood that he wanted her to destroy the evidence, so she nodded unwillingly. She walked to the table, opened the wine box, and took out the bottle of wine. She pulled out the cork, and without even looking for a glass, she downed the entire bottle.
Li Rui heard Liao Zhicheng's emphasis on "proving the strength of the wine". That was to say, even if there was a drug in the wine, and Vicky became unconscious like Bo Yubing after drinking it, it would be attributed to the strong alcohol and not the effect of the drug. How could he let Liao Zhicheng have his way? Also, if Vicky drank all the alcohol in the bottle, what would the police use to analyze the alcohol? He went up and grabbed the bottle, put it back on the table, and shouted coldly, "What are you doing? Are you trying to destroy the evidence? This bottle of wine will be left for the technical police to analyze later. "
Liao Zhicheng saw that Li Rui was held back by Vicky and turned his back to him. He didn't guard against him at all, so he became bold. He stepped on the thin carpet and quietly walked to the bedside table. He took a palm-sized, thick, and sturdy glass ashtray and quickly walked behind Li Rui. He raised the ashtray and viciously smashed it at his head. He planned to knock him to the ground or knock him out, then run away with Vicky. His scheme had been seen through, so if he didn't run now, he would go to jail.
Speaking of which, Li Rui was quite lucky. At that moment, he had neglected his guard against Liao Zhicheng and did not know that Liao Zhicheng was attacking him from behind. Originally, he was going to take the hit. Although he would not be seriously injured, he would still feel pain and even bleed. However, the dramatic thing was that Vicky actually helped him warn him. Vicky saw that Liao Zhicheng raised the ashtray high and viciously smashed it at Li Rui's head. She was so scared that her face changed, and she stared blankly at his movements. Li Rui noticed the change in Vicky's expression when she looked behind him. He instantly realized that he was in danger, so he immediately shifted his upper body to the left.
Just as he was about to make a move to save himself, the ashtray in Liao Zhicheng's hand had already brushed past his cheek, leaving a shadow in his peripheral vision.
Liao Zhicheng's attack missed. He was shocked and angry. Without thinking, he raised his hand and wanted to hit again. However, how could the battle-hardened Li Rui give him another chance? Li Rui suddenly turned around, raised his left hand, and grabbed Liao Zhicheng's right forearm that was holding the ashtray. He clenched his right hand into an iron fist and punched Liao Zhicheng's handsome square face like a cannon. Liao Zhicheng didn't have any resistance at all. He almost fell on his back after taking one punch, let alone five or six punches in a row. He was beaten until he leaned back and soon fell on the mattress. Li Rui pulled him to the ground again, and raised his leg to kick his head a few times. Liao Zhicheng screamed and fainted, lying on the ground motionlessly.
Li Rui vented his anger and felt great. He snorted and looked at Liao Zhicheng with disdain. "I only suspected you at first, but I didn't have any evidence to prove your conspiracy. If you continued to fight with me, I wouldn't have any other choice but to call the police. That way, you could have lasted a little longer. Unfortunately, you had a guilty conscience and attacked me secretly. This shows that you took the risk because your conspiracy was exposed. Haha, you're such an idiot! "
Of course, Liao Zhicheng couldn't hear what he said. The sly liar had completely entered the world of darkness.
After Li Rui finished speaking, he turned around to face her. He was so scared that he subconsciously took two steps back and pushed her away with both hands. "Don't … don't hit me … I beg you, please don't hit me because I'm a woman …"
Li Rui smiled at her and said, "Why would I hit you? Not only am I not going to hit you, but I also want to thank you. If you didn't subconsciously warn me, I would have been knocked out by him. "
Vicky looked at him in fear. She didn't dare to believe him, but she didn't want to believe him either.
Li Rui pointed at the bottle of wine and said, "Tell me the truth. Is there a drug in the wine? If you tell me the truth, you'll get a lighter sentence when the police come later. "
Vicky was scared and ashamed. Her face was as red as a bride who had just entered the house. Her lips moved for a while, and she nodded and said, "Yes, and there's a lot …"
"Well, good girl. I wanted to let you go, but unfortunately, I can't. Liao Zhicheng is the main culprit, and you're an accomplice. You were involved in everything from swindling money to drugging the county magistrate. You have done so many bad things, so you have to pay the price!"
Vicky was stunned when she heard that. She immediately begged with a bitter face, "County Magistrate Li, please let me go. I was forced by Liao Zhicheng. Really, I didn't want to do so many bad things. If you let me go, I can give you all the money I've saved over the years. If you're still not satisfied, I … I can spend the night with you. I just beg you to let me go. " She was no longer speaking with the Hong Kong and Taiwan accent that she had purposely used before. Instead, she spoke with her original southern accent.
This woman was beautiful and had a good figure. She was even more beautiful than Yuan Jingjing. After all, she was younger. If it was another man who heard her last sentence, he might have been tempted and even subconsciously agreed. However, who was Li Rui? How could he be tempted by her wealth and beauty and let her go? He shook his head and said, "Stop dreaming. Now, drink half of this bottle of wine."
Vicky was puzzled and said, "Why do you want me to drink it? There's a drug in it. Do you want to drug me and then … "
Li Rui said, "You're thinking too much. If I really wanted to do something to you, why would I drug you? I just want you to faint so that you won't run away before the police arrive. "
Vicky waved her hands and shouted, "I won't run away. I won't run away. How can I run away if you stay here and watch? I don't want to drink … "
"Stop talking nonsense. Drink!" Li Rui shouted sternly. His voice was like a clap of thunder.
Vicky was shocked and didn't dare to say anything. She took a step closer and took the bottle of wine. She put it to her mouth and drank it.
Actually, Li Rui wanted her to faint not because he was worried that she would run away, but because he wanted to wake Bo Yubing up. During this period of time, there were some conversations that couldn't be heard by her, so she had to faint.
The drug in the wine was very strong. It could even be said that there was too much of it. Vicky sat on the Simmons for less than two minutes after drinking the wine. She fell down as she mumbled, "No … I beg you … let me go …" After mumbling for less than a minute, she completely fainted. Her body slid off the Simmons and fell to the ground. The reason why she fainted faster than Bo Yubing was because she drank a lot. Bo Yubing only drank a goblet, but she drank almost half a bottle.
Li Rui finally had time to save Bo Yubing. He first carried her up from the Simmons and put her back against the headboard. He then walked to the bathroom and turned on the tap to wash the towel until it was half dry. He then returned to Bo Yubing's side in the bedroom. He pressed his left hand on the top of her head and spread the towel on her face with his right hand. He gently wiped her face with the towel and pressed her Renzhong acupuncture point with his finger through the towel. After doing this six or seven times, his arm was so tired that it started to ache. Bo Yubing finally showed signs of waking up.
Li Rui looked at her quietly. He saw her eyelashes flutter a few times before she slowly opened her eyes. When the light shone on her eyes, she closed them again. She was stunned for a moment before she opened them again. She stared blankly for a while before she looked left and right. The first thing she saw was Li Rui looking down at her from above. Her expression immediately turned suspicious. She looked around and suddenly wanted to stand up, but perhaps her limbs were weak, or perhaps her legs were numb. In any case, just as she was about to move, she let out a soft cry and sat back down.
Li Rui said angrily, "Sit still. Why are you moving? I won't eat you."
Bo Yubing asked him coldly, "Where is this? Why did you bring me here?"
