Be Gentle at Midnight

The night is shrouded in darkness, and a gentle breeze brushes against the earth. In the luxurious presidential suite of the most upscale hotel in Ancheng, a 19-year-old girl is dressed in a sexy black silk pajama, with her beautiful eyes tightly closed and her hands bound behind her with a rope, lying groggily on a soft bed. Suddenly, her eyes roll a few times, and her phoenix eyes open sharply. At this time, a man and a woman are walking towards the presidential suite, flattering a middle-aged man who is brainy and plump. "Mr. Wang, rest assured, she is my own daughter. Although she may be a bit stubborn, I guarantee that she is clean! As for women, as long as they succeed once, they will be obedient like a little cat in the future." The man finished speaking, and the woman immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, and Mr. Wang, only young girls with good health and looks can bear healthy, lively, and cute babies." Mr. Wang had his hands behind his back, "Okay, let me check the goods first. If satisfied, the project in West City will be given to your Su family!" The man was overjoyed, and the woman's heavily made-up face was almost smiling. "I guarantee you will be satisfied!" As they were speaking, they had already arrived at the door of the presidential suite. The man immediately took out the room card, opened the door, and then politely extended his hand inside, "Mr. Wang, please." Without hesitation, Mr. Wang strode in with his beer belly leading the way, followed closely by the man and woman. When they entered the room and saw the empty white bed, they were all dumbfounded. "Where is the person?" asked Mr. Wang angrily, turning to face them. Su Zaisheng was at a loss and turned to the woman next to him, "Memei, where is she? Didn't I ask you to bring her over after you knocked her out?" Jiang Yunmei was also stunned, looking at the empty room, she was so anxious that cold sweat dripped from her forehead. "I brought her over, and to prevent her from struggling, I tied her hands and even..." Just then, a black figure quietly emerged from the bathroom next to the door. Without even looking at the room, she walked out. She wanted to run, but she was feeling very uncomfortable now. Her body was hot, weak, and her legs were so weak that walking normally was difficult. "Jiang Yunmei, this stepmother not only made her dizzy, but also drugged her! She bit her red lips hard, trying to endure the pain and walked towards the elevator with her body against the wall. From behind came Jiang Yunmei's malicious voice, 'This is impossible! Su Liangwan definitely hasn't gone far. Let's search in this hotel, we can definitely find her!' Su Liangwan's heart sank and quickly scanned the doors beside her. Suddenly she saw that one of the doors was slightly ajar, only a narrow gap visible. She grasped at this glimmer of hope, bit her lips until they bled, and with renewed strength, she hurried toward the door. She pushed her body against the door and could still hear Jiang Yunmei and Su Zai Sheng's voices outside. Finally, she had escaped. Su Liangwan let out a sigh of relief and a smile of surviving a disaster appeared on her face. Suddenly, a pair of cold, stern eyes locked onto her face. The gaze was so icy that Su Liangwan's smile froze and she looked up in alarm, only to see a man standing naked above the waist with only a towel tied around his waist standing in front of her." The man looked like he had just taken a shower, with his hair still slightly damp and a few strands hanging over his forehead. Before Su Liangwan could appreciate the spectacular sight of a handsome man after a shower, the door behind her was knocked. The man's brows slightly furrowed with a hint of annoyance as he looked at her with slightly parted lips. She couldn't let him speak! Su Liangwan quickly took a step forward and, before the man could speak, tiptoed and sealed his lips with hers. As if a current ran through his body, the heat quickly spread from his lips and he looked at the bold girl in front of him with trembling dark eyes. Damn it, he had been ambushed! There was something on her lips, some kind of drug! Su Liangwan didn't know anything about it, but she felt the heat in her body intensify as soon as she kissed the man. It was like a trapped wild beast trying to break free from its cage, making her body even more weak and powerless. The knocking paused for more than ten seconds before resuming. Su Liangwan pulled away from the man's lips and took a deep breath. Her deep brown eyes looked pitifully into his deep eyes as she lowered her voice and showed him her bound hands. "Please, save me..." The man's eyes grew colder and his thin lips curved into a wicked smile. Save her? Ha...now he needed to save himself! His slender fingers unhesitatingly wrapped around Su Liangwan's waist, and before she could react, he threw her onto the wide, soft bed. The next second...when the first ray of sunshine shone through the mottled curtains into the room, Su Liangwan slowly opened her eyes. Last night, her body felt as if it had been run over by a car. It hurt to even move. She bit her lip and forced herself to sit up, glaring at the man's stunning face sleeping next to her, so angry she wanted to smash his head! She asked him to save her, which was to help her untie the rope on her hands, not anything else! Oh well, let's just consider it as being bitten by a dog! Anyway, he looks so handsome and much stronger than Mr. Wang. Compared to him, Su Liangwan doesn't feel like she has lost too much. She quietly lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and tiptoed to the sofa. The pajamas she wore last night couldn't be worn again. She picked up the man's white shirt and black pants, and carefully put them on herself. Although they were big and long, it was better than wearing nothing. There was a wallet in the pocket, so Su Liangwan took it out, opened it, and a thick stack of red banknotes made her eyes squint with joy. She had to run away, but how could she do it without money? With so much money, she could buy new clothes and a plane ticket. She took out the money and put it in her pocket. Before she threw the wallet on the sofa, she glanced at the ID card inside. "Feng Muchen. Hmm...so his name is Feng Muchen! The man in the bed suddenly turned over, and Su Liangwan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't dare to stay any longer, pulled up her pants and quickly ran towards the door... Half an hour later, the man woke up. Looking at the empty room, if it weren't for the bright red stain on the white bedsheet, he would have thought last night was just a dream he had made up. This damn woman! She drugged him, slept with him, and left without saying a word? Wasn't she supposed to sit on the bed, threaten him to marry her with crying, tantrums or even suicide? Or did she go back to dress up and come back to blackmail him? Feng Muchen picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Jia Yu, come over here and see me!" "After ten minutes, Jia came in rolling with pee and poop. "Wu Ye, I came last night, I knocked on the door, but you didn't respond or open the door, so I didn't dare to come in." Feng Mu Chen leaned against the head of the bed, wearing only a white shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing his strong chest, making him look restrained and charming. He looked at Jia with a deep and cold gaze, "How many people know about my arrival in An City?" "Huh?" Jia was stunned. He had originally thought that Feng Mu Chen had called him to reprimand him for not delivering the documents on time last night, but he didn't expect it to be about this. After thinking for a moment, he spoke with certainty, "No one knows! Not even the lord and lady of the house know that you came to An City, let alone anyone else." Feng Mu Chen furrowed his brow in confusion. If no one knew he had come to An City, then the woman last night... could it be someone else's trap? But why did she come to his room and put medicine on her lips? Glancing at the empty wallet on the bedside table, his eyes narrowed dangerously, "Jia, last night a woman slept with me, you must find her for me, no matter what!" "What! After being pure and simple for twenty-eight years, the fifth lord of the imperial city, who had power over everything, was actually slept with by a woman?! Jia Yu felt a thrill run through his body and he immediately became as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Hahaha, he couldn't wait to find out which brazen woman dared to sleep with Lord Fifth, who never let any grievances go unpunished. He could imagine that after finding that woman, she would be tortured to death by Lord Fifth. After checking the hotel surveillance, Jia Yu quickly identified Su Liangwan's identity. Su Liangwan, the eldest daughter of Su Zaisheng, the CEO of Bo Sea company. Her mother died early, and Su Zaisheng brought his mistress Jiang Yunmei back home, where Su Liangwan grew up under Jiang Yunmei's oppression. Despite being the young lady of the Su family in name, she was actually a punching bag for the family. However, she excelled academically and passed the provincial level exam with the highest score when she was fifteen, and even obtained double degrees at the age of nineteen while studying at Changhai University in Ancheng. After reading Su Liangwan's information, Fang Muchen raised his eyelids slightly and asked, "Where is she now?"" "Under his cold and stern gaze, Jia Yu's facial muscles suddenly tensed, and his back was covered in a layer of dense cold sweat. His throat felt like it was being choked by cotton, and he struggled to utter a few words, 'No, no, I haven't found her.'

The pride of the Fei family, Fei Muchen, did not return to the capital but continued to reside in Ancheng. Others did not know why, but Jia Yu did. Fifth Brother was competing with Su Liangwan! The woman who slept with him disappeared suddenly from the world four years ago, and there has been no news of her since. Fei Muchen holds the country's largest financial conglomerate and has top-tier talents under his command. He utilized all his connections to search for Su Liangwan but no one was able to find her. Even with the use of advanced technology, not even a single hair of Su Liangwan was found." "This has made the old lady very anxious. Countless phone calls have been made to Fei Muchen over the past four years, but he is determined not to return to the capital. 'Xiaochen...' the old lady continued to persuade him on the phone, 'Your third brother's son has found a girlfriend this year. You are already 32 years old. If you don't get married soon, you will be called an old bachelor by others.' Fei Muchen put his mobile phone to his ear and walked straight ahead in the airport. 'Everyone calls me the Fifth Master. Who dares to lower my status?' The old lady was directly choked with a few coughs. Among her five children, Fei Muchen was the most troublesome. She had spoiled him since he was a child, but did not expect to raise such an unruly character. He was like a horse that had never been tied up since childhood, and he was untamed. Now she wants to control him, but she can't. After coughing, the old lady bit her handkerchief and started sobbing, 'I am not feeling well recently. My heart is always hurting. I just want you to come back and start a family, let me see your child born before I close my eyes. Can't you fulfill such a simple request? Sobbing...' Fei Muchen was used to the old lady's tricks long ago. He had watched her do this to his grandfather since he was a child. His grandfather was quite susceptible to this, but he was not. He was just numb." "Okay, Mom, don't cry anymore. If you have heart problems, see a doctor. I have to go through security check now." "Hey, wait a minute!" The old lady knew he was about to hang up and said hastily, "Liángchéng is not far from the capital. Go to Liángchéng to settle things and visit home on the way. Mom misses you." Liángchéng is over 1,300 kilometers from the capital. Is this still considered "not far"? Fēng Mùchén reached into his pocket and took out a delicate cigarette case. "Okay, I'll come see you when I have the time." Just as he was about to hang up, someone gently patted his back from behind. Fēng Mùchén frowned and turned around. Behind him was a girl wearing a JK uniform. A short plaid skirt revealed a thin and white long leg. Her white short socks were innocent and cute. She was wearing a pair of black leather shoes. Her face was beautiful, with light makeup that made it hard to tell her actual age. However, judging from her dressing style, she seemed to be a student. She pointed at something on the ground, tilted her head, and smiled at Fēng Mùchén, "Hey mister, you dropped something." Until her voice sounded, Feng Muchen came back to his senses from her pure and elegant face. He glanced at the name card that fell on the ground and took his phone away from his ear. "What did you call me?" The girl shrugged and smiled, looking at the cigarette box in his right hand. "Uncle, friendly reminder, you can't smoke at the airport." "Wan Wan, the driver has been waiting for us at the door for a whole hour. Don't dawdle, let's go!" Hearing her partner calling her, the girl waved at Feng Muchen and ran happily towards them. "I'm here!" Feng Muchen looked at her youthful and lively figure, and a sly curve appeared on his thin lips. "Su Liangwan, I finally waited for you!" Outside the airport, the driver who had been waiting for a long time kept looking at his watch. He was sent by the crew to pick up the screenwriter Yu Chenfeng. He had contacted Yu Chenfeng's assistant and was told to come out after picking up the luggage. But he hasn't seen any trace until now. He stretched his neck and kept looking inside the airport. "Hey, what are you looking at?" Someone gently patted his shoulder, and he lowered his head to see two girls dressed as students. He was somewhat impatient. "If you want to be an extra, go to the set. I don't receive guests here." One of the girls laughed softly. "Hey, Wan Wan, did you see it? He thinks you're only qualified to be an extra." "Sulan Bai glanced at her speechlessly. This little assistant liked to joke around for no reason, and wanted to tease anyone. Taking out a lollipop, Sulan Bai peeled off the wrapper, put the lollipop in her mouth, and said to the driver, 'Li Dao sent you to pick up Yu Chenfeng, right?' The driver was shocked. Yu Chenfeng was the master of romance novels and had become famous several years ago. He looked at Sulan Bai and the girl next to her. They both looked like students from school. Sulan Bai didn't want to waste time and said, 'I am Yu Chenfeng. I wrote The Twenty-Fifth Hour.' The driver was astonished. Yu Chenfeng, who was particularly good at flirting and playing ambiguous games that drove readers crazy, was actually so young? Assistant Tang Doudou looked at him and laughed uncontrollably. 'Hahaha, don't be fooled by her appearance. She just likes to act cute. Actually, she's already in her mid-twenties...' Sulan Bai elbowed her and Tang Doudou finally stopped talking." "The driver finally reacted and excitedly opened the car door to welcome the two girls. 'Miss Yu,' the driver said enthusiastically while driving, 'can I take a photo with you later?' Seeing Su Liangwan frown through the rearview mirror, he quickly explained, 'It's like this, my girlfriend loves the novels you write and she is your loyal fan. The reason she fell in love with me is because she thinks I'm like Fu Nan in your novel, even though he's just a supporting male character, he's still a seed of love, hehe...' Fu Nan? Tang Doudou blinked her eyes abruptly. Fu Nan was only a male number six in Twenty-Fifth Hour Incidents. She did not expect the young girl to be so obsessed with Su Liangwan that she could even fall for a man who resembles a male number six in her novel. 'Cough cough...' Tang Doudou smirked at Su Liangwan and said, 'Liangwan, his girlfriend's love for you is real!' Su Liangwan chuckled while biting her lollipop, 'Okay, let's take a photo then.' The driver was so happy that he almost turned the business car into an airplane. Half an hour later, the driver sent Su Liangwan and Tang Doudou to the hotel arranged by the crew and handed them two room cards. 'Miss Yu, please rest first. I'll go report to Director Li.'" Su Liangwan swiped a room card, said nothing, and entered the room before lying down on the big bed. "Ancheng, I'm back!" she thought. She remembered how miserable she had been when she left, and her dark brown eyes glinted with anger. Although she knew that her father didn't like her since she was a child and that no one in the family treated her like a Su, Su Lifeng was her only relative in the world. She had always fantasized that if she worked hard and did well, she would one day earn her father's love by showing him her strengths and shining qualities. But that dream was shattered the night she woke up in the Presidential Suite bed. She realized that someone who doesn't love her will never love her, and that no matter how hard she worked, she was nothing but a tool for his interests. Tang Doudou did not return to her own room. Instead, she took the opportunity to freshen up in Su Liangwan's room and quickly scampered out. When she saw Su Liangwan lying on the bed in a daze, Tang Doudou jumped on the bed and said, "Liangwan! We arrived in Ancheng safely. What's your plan? Will you leave after finishing this job?" Leave? "Heh..." Su Liangwan's cold lips curved upwards. "Since we're all back, how can I not go home and give my dear father a big gift?" Tang Doudou was immediately sent shivers down her spine by Su Liangwan's cold tone. Su Liangwan, 23 this year, wasn't too old, but for some reason, she had started to act cute, saying that she wanted to maintain a young girl's heart forever. However, Tang Doudou knew that beneath Su Liangwan's innocent and beautiful appearance was a heart that had already been deeply wounded. Su Liangwan had never been a good person! The topic was too dangerous, and Tang Doudou licked her lips and changed the subject. "Then... what about that man?" Su Liangwan turned her head to look at her. "What man?" Tang Doudou chuckled and turned to look at Su Liangwan, winked at her in an ambiguous manner. "The man who slept with you that night!"
