Zhao Yang gradually raised. The guy then straightened his back as he sat on the bed in a lotus position.
"Fuh…" Zhao Yang touched his head and combed his hair back, showing his forehead. The man suddenly looked different than his usual appearance with his forehead showing.
He looked somewhat overbearing and fierce compared to his usual self. If Lai Jiayi saw this guy right now, she might faint out of fear.
Thank God, only Tianjin saw Zhao Yang at the moment. The swan secretly scanned Zhao Yang's body again, and after she was sure the drug was gone, only then she could sigh in relief.
The swan wobbled and fell to Zhao Yang's lap.
"Ha...master...Thank God, you are okay…" Tianjin rubbed her eyes and stayed on Zhao Yang's thigh. The swan laid down on her tummy as she had exhausted all her energy.
Zhao Yang's eyes turned soft. The man chuckled.
"Sorry, I make you worried."
Zhao Yang stroked Tianjin's head. The guy then carefully scooped Tianjin's body as he got off the bed.
Zhao Yang then stepped on a certain part of the floor, and a hole suddenly appeared. It was huge enough to fit one adult.
The guy then just jumped down with Tianjin in his hand, without hesitation. He just entered a hidden room. Once the man entered, the lab-like room shone brightly in various colors.
White, green, and blue.
One could see so many machines and tools used in many sci-fi movies, such as tubes and others.
Zhao Yang hastily headed to a table full of hologram panels. "I will charge you for now. As for the rest, leave it to me," he spoke as he put Tianjin inside a small tube on the table.
That was how the man could charge Tianjin when there's no sun heat.
"Mn. When I wake up, we need to talk about the culprit behind this incident, okay?" Tianjin slowly closed her eyes and turned off her device.
The tube then glowed in blue light, slowly pouring energy into the swan.
"...alright, " Zhao Yang muttered. He then walked back to the center of the room, and an invisible circle just slowly brought the guy upstairs. The ring functioned as an elevator.
Zhao Yang stepped out of the hole, and the floor closed again, leaving no trace behind. No one would think that underneath the bedroom, there was another secret room.
That room certainly looked like Zhao Yang's personal workplace in his house. A place where he invented new things out of his love for technology.
Zhao Yang stood still above the hidden circle and sighed. He slowly scanned the monochrome bedroom.
A few meters on the right side of the bed, one could see a large screen attached to the wall. Right next to the wall was a large glass wall. It spread to the back of the bed as well, surrounding the bed area.
Behind the bed itself, there was a large silver screen that no one knew what the thing was. Somehow, the bed was attached to a long white couch with a glass table floating in front of it.
The monochrome bed really looked like a mix of couch and bed. It seemed rather strange but cool at the same time.
Of course, the bed had a highly advanced technology despite looking like a normal king-sized bed.
The black fur carpet beneath the bed also made the area look lavish for no reason.
As expected of a CEO's bedroom!
Zhao Yang blinked slowly. He took a deep breath and carefully sat on the bed. The guy then propped his elbows on his knees.
Zhao Yang gritted his teeth and tried to recall what Tianjin said about the drug.
The drug was a slow-acting one, but Tianjin didn't say the exact duration of when the drug would take effect after it's consumed.
'She should have told me all the information she knows.'
Zhao Yang closed his eyes and recalled every single woman he met from early in the morning to this time, trying to find the culprit.
Somehow, he met at least ten women outside his company, and many more inside the company building.
'The one inside my company is my direct employees. They won't try to do anything funny to me.'
Thinking like that, Zhao Yang eliminated the chance that the women in his company were the culprit.
'Let's see, those I met outside the company…'
Xiu Mei. My driver. My bodyguard. That barmaid. The singer. The waitress. The head department– ah, I met her at the company. The same with my secretary.
The rest is that annoying pink-haired girl and…
Zhao Yang paused.
Lai Jiayi.
That one name just stuck out like a sore thumb.
Zhao Yang subconsciously recalled the girl's confession this morning, and how she got sick right after that.
His heart throbbed a bit, and that suffocating feeling surged again.
Zhao Yang abruptly shook his head and tried to focus.
'Forget about that confession. She's not sick because of me– wait. I show symptoms after I go back from her place, right?'
Zhao Yang knitted his eyebrows. He shifted his butt and casually crossed his legs.
'Slow-acting drug. A drug that isn't mixed in food or drink. It means...either I inhale it, or it enters through my skin.'
Zhao Yang's heart skipped a beat.
'A slow-acting drug will not take more than two or three hours to take effect. Mostly 30 minutes up to an hour.'
Zhao Yang subconsciously gulped. He tightened his palms as he touched his forehead to the back of his palm.
'The only girl I met an hour ago…'
Is Lai Jiayi.
