“Brother Chengzhi, I’m not asking you to take responsibility for your actions. I just want you to admit that you had accepted me before. I will not make this matter public if you can do that. I just hope you can tell me face to face that I’m an important person in your life. I want to let Song Yu know that we had been together indeed. I don’t want you to divorce her and marry me. As long as you are always by my side, Song Yu can still be your wife. So long as you treat me like your wife. I don’t need the status but I wanted the same treatment as Song Yu. When I need you, you would always be by my side to take care of me and pamper me.” Mu Sisi felt that it was more and more likely that they would have a very happy future as she continued talking. She appeared to be longing for it and her voice became soft and gentle.

“So do we need to invite you to stay in our house?” said Song Yu scornfully. She was laughing out of anger, then she snorted.

“We could stay outside by ourselves because I know you don’t wish to see me. I wouldn’t come and provoke you on purpose. We wouldn’t see each other. This is a good idea because I hate to see you as well,” said Mu Sisi seriously.

Qi Chengzhi stared at her coldly and sneered contemptuously. “I think you should just call the police. Maybe you had sex with someone indeed, but I’m surely not that guy. You were drunk and mistook that guy for me, but please differentiate between reality and fantasy. If you were drugged and raped by someone, you should ask the police to find out who was the guy that raped you. Aunt Yang, please call 120 and send this crazy woman to the mental hospital.”

“I’m not—” Mu Sisi was interrupted by the notification sound of the intercom.

Aunt Yang quickly switched on the screen of the intercom and saw Mu Huaisheng. Qi Chengzhi asked Aunt Yang to open the door. After a while, Mu Huaisheng came upstairs and Aunt Yang opened the door to let him in.

When he entered their house, he saw that Song Yu’s eyes were red and Qi Chengzhi was hugging her. Song Yu made a sour face when she saw Mu Huaisheng.

Mu Huaisheng felt nervous suddenly because he did not know anything about the trouble that Mu Sisi created this time.

“Why did you come here?” Mu Sisi was startled when she saw Mu Huaisheng walked in.

Mu Huaisheng grabbed her wrist. “Why did you come here again? Haven’t you disturbed them enough?”

“I’m not here to disturb them,” said Mu Sisi.

“I don’t care what’s the reason you come here for, Leave with me now. You’ve already disturbed their family so much!” Mu Huaisheng was flustered by her and he dragged Mu Sisi towards the exit.

Mu Sisi desperately pulled her body in the opposite direction. “I’m not leaving, let go of me. I came because I need to settle a very important matter. I told you I’m not here to disturb them.

“So tell me, why did you come here?” asked Mu Huaisheng coldly.

Mu Sisi glanced at Qi Chengzhi. She appeared to be in a dilemma and refused to tell her brother about it. It felt like she was truly protecting Qi Chengzhi’s reputation.

Qi Chengzhi snorted in disdain. “I’ll help you if you don’t want to tell your brother about it.”

Qi Chengzhi’s used a frosty and contemptuous tone to explain the purpose of Mu Sisi’s visit. Mu Huaisheng was dumbstruck after listening to him and he stared at Mu Sisi in disbelief. He was wondering what was in her head because she had gone as far as to tell the married couple about that kind of matter.

Song Yu involuntarily hugged Qi Chengzhi tighter. She was unable to bear the thought of her man being fantasized by Mu Sisi. Mu Sisi kept on saying that she loved Qi Chengzhi, but how could she think Qi Chengzhi would do that kind of thing based on his personality?

He was such an honorable and outstanding person. It would be beneath contempt for him to do that!

“How much alcohol did you drink last night?” asked Mu Huaisheng coldly.

“I told you I drank some alcohol, but I was sober. My eyesight was fine as well. I was very clear about who the person with me was last night,” said Mu Sisi with frustration. Why would no one believe her!

“Have you relieve yourself from last night until now?” asked Qi Chengzhi indifferently.

“Relieve myself?” Mu Sisi was stunned—she did not understand Qi Chengzhi’s words.

“Have you excreted any waste?” Qi Chengzhi decided to talk more bluntly.

Mu Sisi blushed and stammered for quite a while before saying, “No.”

“Then let’s go to the hospital and do a test,” said Qi Chengzhi coldly.

“You’re saying—” Mu Huaisheng understood what Qi Chengzhi meant.

Qi Chengzhi glanced at Mu Huaisheng distantly and said with a disinterested tone, “It;s too common for girls to be drugged by people at the pub, especially she went there alone and could be easily targeted by someone.”

“Impossible!” Mu Sisi retorted without thinking at all. “I know that you dare not admit it in front of Song Yu!”

However, Mu Sisi’s expression changed suddenly as she remembered that when “Qi Chengzhi” came and met her, he forced her to drink a glass of alcohol. She did not drink that glass of alcohol voluntarily.

Mu Sisi started to doubt her memory and she felt a chill. Then, her lower abdomen started to ache.

However, she tried to avoid thinking about that suspicious moment and tried to convince herself that the guy last night was Qi Chengzhi. She would not accept anyone except Qi Chengzhi for her first sexual experience, let alone a stranger who she had never met before.

Furthermore, she saw with her own eyes that the guy was Qi Chengzhi!

After she thought of this, Mu Sisi calmed down and she became confident again.

“Let’s go to the hospital for an examination,” said Mu Huaisheng with an extremely deep voice suddenly.

“I’m not going,” said Mu Sisi without thinking about it.

“If you’re so sure that you were sober at that time, there’s no harm in getting an examination done,” said Mu Huaisheng coolly. “After the results are out, then we could decide our next step. Whether the guy was Qi Chengzhi or you were drugged by someone, we have to confirm first before taking the next step.”

Mu Sisi’s lips were feeling cold as the scene of her being forced to drink alcohol kept replaying in her mind. She was now uncertain about what happened last night.

“I’ll go with you all,” said Qi Chengzhi suddenly as he shot a contemptuous glance at Mu Sisi. “I want to know what the results are to avoid being framed again.”

Mu Huaisheng’s expression was quite unnatural but he did not say anything and nodded stiffly.

“I’m going too,” said Song Yu as she stared at Qi Chengzhi firmly.

Qi Chengzhi looked at her gently, smiled, and then nodded at her.

“I’m not going. I wasn’t drugged by anyone,” said Mu Sisi not so calmly.

“Why? Are you feeling guilty?” said Qi Chengzhi derisively, his stern and attractive lips curled into a sarcastic smile. “Since you’re so sure that you weren’t drugged by anyone, why are you afraid of getting an examination to prove it? You simply found a man out there to have sex with and then came here to frame me. That’s the reason why you dare not undergo an examination right ?”

“Let’s go.” Mu Huaisheng furiously clenched his teeth and clutched Mu Sisi’s wrist to pull her out of the house.

Finally, Mu Sisi was dragged into the car by him. Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu got into the Land Rover too and they went to Chutian Hospital.

On the way, Qi Chengzhi asked Song Yu to call Chu Zhaoyang to inform him about the matter. Chu Zhaoyang arranged an appointment for them.

Therefore, when they reached the hospital, the doctor did not ask a lot of questions. The doctor only asked whether she had gone to the toilet or not and such. If she was indeed drugged by someone, they would have to examine Mu Sisi’s blood and urine as soon as possible when the drug still remained in her body.

There was a washroom for doctors’ use in the consultation room and the doctor let Mu Sisi use it so that Mu Sisi could not play tricks on them.

The results of the test came out soon enough. The doctor read through the report and said, “Miss Mu’s blood and urine contained triazolam. This drug has the potential to induce hallucinations after a certain dose is taken by a person.”

Mu Sisi understood what the doctor said, and she started to doubt herself even though she was very confident previously.

“Based on what you said, is it possible that a person would imagine that a guy is another guy if that person took the required dose?” asked Qi Chengzhi indifferently.

The doctor nodded. “It is possible. There are some drugs in the black market that can make a person thirsty for sex, and they contained this substance. They can cause the person who took it to imagine that another person is the person that she likes.”

“Impossible! That’s impossible!” Mu Sisi’s face turned pale. She was still denying the facts that were confirmed by the results. Her stare became weary. “I was undoubtedly very sober, I was completely awake!”

Mu Huaisheng glanced at Mu Sisi and whispered to the doctor, “I hope you would never tell anyone about this.”

“No worries, Director Chu had already told me about this,” replied the doctor expressionlessly.

Mu Huaisheng nodded and stared at Mu Sisi who was still reluctant to accept the truth. She was mumbling that it was impossible for the incident to have happened. Mu Huaisheng dragged her out of the room.

Qi Chengzhi hugged Song Yu as they were walking to the parking lot at the entrance of the hospital.

“Anything else that you wanted to say? You’re so obsessed with Chengzhi, even if he wanted to do anything with you, does he need to go so far as to drug you when you are drunk? He only needs to say some words or stare at you, then you would come and find him eagerly.” Song Yu stared at Mu Sisi coldly.

Mu Sisi appeared to be speechless, but after a while, she stuck out her chin and said stubbornly, “Who knows? Just think about Brother Chengzhi’s behavior this morning, it was obvious he was trying to avoid admitting his relationship with me. Maybe he planned to have sex with me when I was unconscious so that no one would find out about it. He could have sex with me and keep you in the dark. If that was the case, then we could explain everything that happened.”

Slap!

At last, Song Yu could not tolerate her anymore. It just so happened that she was standing near Mu Sisi, so she slapped her directly. “Mu Sisi, I have tolerated you for long enough. Don’t fantasize about Chengzhi and try to frame him forcibly. You can say whatever you want because nobody can control what you say. You’re just talking nonsense. Why don’t you say that you were already in a relationship with Chengzhi when you were in the U.S.!”

Mu Sisi was stunned by the slap. After she recovered from it, she shouted Song Yu’s name fiercely and wanted to hit her back, but Qi Chengzhi already used his body to shield her.

Mu Huaisheng pulled Mu Sisi backward to prevent her from acting recklessly.

“Mu Huaisheng, let go of me. Are you going to just watch her hit me without doing nothing?” Mu Sisi was standing behind Mu Huaisheng and she was trying to shake off his arm with all her might. One of her hands was grabbing his shoulder and pulling him back.

“Mu Sisi, if you dare to touch Song Yu, I’ll make sure that the Mu Family will be chased out from B City!” said Qi Chengzhi furiously, his usually mellow voice had turned icy cold.

Mu Sisi was startled, Qi Chengzhi was truly infuriated this time. His look was too frightening when he glared at her. It seemed like he wanted to hack her into pieces.

Mu Sisi felt miserable suddenly and started to cry. She could not accept herself being loathed by the man she loved. She cried, “But she hit me!”

“So what, I think that she didn’t hit you hard enough. You came to look for trouble repeatedly and became more and more arrogant. Do you really think you’re the prettiest girl ever or the most precious treasure in the world?” said Qi Chengzhi mockingly.

Mu Sisi’s lips were trembling and she was at a loss of words.

Mu Huaisheng’s face became stern when he thought about the words Qi Chengzhi said. He finally said with a deep voice slowly, “Chengzhi, do you still see me as a friend?”

“What do you feel? Could we still be friends after all the things your retarded sister did? I didn’t say anything or take any actions before this because I valued our friendship. But Mu Huaisheng, you can’t indulge her time after time just because I’m your friend. I feel like my tongue would become filthy if I talk about the despicable things she did. The things she did became more and more despicable, and she humiliates herself more after each time. She actually came to our house today to tell us that I had sex with her yesterday. So who was the man that laid with Song Yu last night?” Qi Chengzhi did not attempt to conceal the contempt in his eyes. He stared at Mu Sisi who was standing behind Mu Huaisheng, shielded by him. “You said that I drugged you? I feel nauseated when I see you standing in front of me. Have sex with you? Why should I torture myself?”

Mu Sisi shook her head incessantly and said while crying, “That’s not true… That’s not true…”

Mu Huaisheng’s expression was serious and he pulled a long face.

Qi Chengzhi was no longer bothered with them and lowered his head to look at Song Yu. It seemed like Song Yu was not as furious anymore and looked calmer. She stopped looking at Mu Sisi so that she would not feel disgusted.

Initially, Qi Chengzhi was shouting at Mu Sisi fiercely and his face was full of disdain, but his face immediately became gentle when he was looking at Song Yu. His elegant and long fingers pushed her hair behind her ears. He felt sad when he saw Song Yu’s reddened eyes.

Mu Sisi came to provoke her time after time. What was to be done if her body suffered some bad implications from her provocation?

Song Yu usually found it embarrassing to display their affection in front of others, but because she was facing Mu Sisi now, she truly hoped to irritate her until she wished she was dead. Therefore, she did not stop Qi Chengzhi and allowed him to comfort her silently.

Song Yu pouted slightly and glared at him. Qi Chengzhi smiled at her benignly—the angle of his smile was so attractive. His soft laughter was so mellow like pure brew lager.

He stroked her hair gently and whispered, “Please don’t be angry.”

Mu Sisi was standing behind of Mu Huaisheng and staring at them. She was extremely resentful of their display of affection in front of her. Qi Chengzhi was pampering Song Yu like she was a precious treasure, yet, he did not think that it was worth looking at Mu Sisi at all.

Qi Chengzhi was capable of showing such a gentle and affectionate behavior but he only showed it to Song Yu. If it was not because of Song Yu, she would never see Qi Chengzhi showing this kind of expression.

“How are you going to settle Mu Sisi’s matter?” asked Song Yu directly in front of Mu Sisi and Mu Huaisheng.

Qi Chengzhi kissed her cheeks—there were still some tears left on her soft cheeks. Qi Chengzhi used his palms to warm her face, then he hugged her waist and turned his head to face Mu Sisi. His expression became serious and asked, “Which pub did you go to last night?”

Mu Sisi was staring at Qi Chengzhi as she sobbed. ‘Didn’t he go to find her last night? Didn’t he know which pub she went to? Why did he put on an act and asked her about it?’

Mu Huaisheng immediately understood Qi Chengzhi’s intention. His heart skipped a beat and he asked Mu Sisi quickly, “Tell me fast, which pub?”

Mu Sisi was still covering the part of her face slapped by Song Yu. She was sniffing non-stop and finally told them the name of the pub after Mu Huaisheng urged her impatiently. They went to the pub right away.

There was no one at the pub during the day. Only a few drowsy waiters could be spotted. When they saw the four of them, they reckoned they were not here to purchase alcohol because there was a pregnant lady among them.

“Hi there, how can I help you?” asked a waiter who walked toward them.

“I wish to watch last night’s video footage of the pub,” answered Mu Huaisheng directly.

“Are you all police officers?” asked the waiter—they did not look like police officers to him. “If you all do not have any documents or permits, I’m not allowed to let you watch them.”

“When did this pub started to have this kind of rule?” Qi Chengzhi pouted, and he narrowed his eyes and stared at the waiter. He was obviously afraid of involving himself in any trouble, so he dared not let them watch it. “We’re reluctant to make a fuss out of it, but if you insist, I could call the police now, and let them handle it.”

The waiter’s expression changed because people who run pubs tended to be quite afraid of policemen going into their pubs. There were a lot of things that happened here that could prove worthwhile for further investigations.

“Please at least tell me what had happened so that it would be easier for me to fetch the appropriate footage and also the specific time frame that you all wanted,” said the waiter without any other choice.

“One of us had been taken advantage of here,” answered Mu Huaisheng with a deep voice. He did not want to tell others about what happened to Mu Sisi.

He knew for sure that Qi Chengzhi would never touch Mu Sisi. Besides, the results of the tests at the hospital had clearly shown that someone drugged Mu Sisi, causing her to hallucinate and imagine that the person with her was Qi Chengzhi. He was preparing to arrange a blind date between Mu Sisi and Gao Jingqiu, so he must not allow any scandals about her to emerge at this critical juncture, even though Gao Jingqiu may not really care who his wife was. He would surely want to conceal this incident.

The waiter was still staring at them hesitantly. Mu Huaisheng said, “Don’t worry, we wouldn’t ask your pub to take the responsibility if anything had indeed happened.”

The waiter then went to ask for permission and took them to watch the footage.

Mu Sisi could not remember when she left the pub, so she told them the time she reached there. They started watching the footage from that time. Mu Sisi was drunk after a while because she drank alcohol without a care in the world. They saw Mu Sisi took her cell phone out and called a person. Qi Chengzhi glimpsed at the time and found out it was the time that Mu Sisi called him last night.

A while after she hung up the phone, a man in a white shirt walked to her table. Mu Sisi’s limbs felt chilly when she remembered the white-shirt guy.

The man sat beside her and hugged her shoulders, Mu Sisi struggled weakly and was unable to free herself from him.

After that, they saw that the man sneakily put a tablet into a glass of alcohol when Mu Sisi was not paying attention to him. Then, he forced Mu Sisi to drink it.

From the footage, Mu Sisi resisted for a while, but it seemed like she was too weak, and she drank it at last. She was obviously less sober after drinking that glass of alcohol.

Then, the man supported her to stand up and they finally saw the man’s face.

After they stood up, they found out that the man was only slightly taller than Mu Sisi. His height was around 1.7 meters and was shorter than Qi Chengzhi by almost 20 centimeters. He appeared to be much thinner and weaker than Qi Chengzhi.

Qi Chengzhi had the type of figure that appeared thin when he was wearing a shirt but muscular when he removed it. Although he looked thin when he wore a shirt, he still looked sturdy and strong. In contrast, the white shirt guy was truly thin. He seemed like one of the hooligans on the street with his flamboyant hairstyle. There were red pimples on his face and his appearance was not attractive at all.

Shortly after, Mu Sisi walked out of the pub, supported by the man.

Mu Sisi’s memory of the white shirt guy became clearer and she remembered that the man who was lying on her in the hotel room was wearing a white shirt too. Was it the drug that caused her to mistakenly perceive that contemptible guy as Qi Chengzhi?
