Liu Xiong chuckled, saying after Huang Shanshan had drunk half her water, "Team Leader Huang, if I recall correctly, the bill for your Xin Fa Industrial Company is eight million, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Manager Liu is so busy, yet you remember so clearly. Your memory is truly excellent!"
"Eight million, to our Han Group, is just a minuscule sum..."
Liu Xiong said casually, "I can settle the account right now and transfer it to your company's account!"
Huang Shanshan was internally ecstatic. "Thank you, Liu..."
However, before she could even finish her thanks, Liu Xiong raised his hand and interrupted, "Team Leader Huang, settling your company's bill is no problem! But I have a small request, which I hope you will grant me!"
"Manager Liu, whatever your request, please don't hesitate to ask. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse!"
Huang Shanshan was already dizzy with excitement, completely oblivious to the wrongness in Liu Xiong's gaze.
"That is, you spend the night with me!" Liu Xiong blurted out.
"..."
Huang Shanshan's excitement and joy came to an abrupt halt, and her facial expression froze.
Qin Yi, sitting nearby, thought to himself, 'As expected.'
After several seconds, Huang Shanshan came back to her senses and said incredulously, "M-Manager Liu, what did you say?"
Regardless of her reaction, Liu Xiong smacked his lips and continued, "Team Leader Huang, from what I understand, eight million is an extremely, extremely important sum of capital for your small company!"
"If you manage to get it back, your company's leaders will surely be very grateful to you, and your commission should be close to six figures..."
"A six-figure return, plus the importance of your company leaders, spending a night with me is quite worthwhile!"
"Impossible..."
Huang Shanshan abruptly stood up.
But the moment she stood, she felt a wave of dizziness and stumbled to the side.
"Huang Shanshan!"
Fortunately, Qin Yi was quick-witted and steadied her.
Liu Xiong seemed to have anticipated this outcome and stood up as well, saying with a sinister smile, "Hehe, Team Leader Huang, you just drank my water, and soon you will lose consciousness..."
"So, today, whether you refuse or agree, you belong to me!"
"You, you..."
Huang Shanshan felt her head growing heavier and her eyelids drooping.
She shook her head vigorously, mustering her last bit of strength, and said, "You can't do this, I, I'm pregnant..."
"What???"
Liu Xiong froze.
But he quickly regained his composure, showing no intention of letting Huang Shanshan go.
Sensing his mood, Qin Yi's face darkened. He truly hadn't expected Liu Xiong to be so depraved!
Just then, Huang Shanshan could no longer stand and swayed to the side.
Qin Yi had to support her, "Huang Shanshan, hold on!"
With that, he supported her and headed for the exit.
The water Liu Xiong had given her had clearly been drugged. Qin Yi needed to counteract it, or it could harm the child, especially since she was pregnant!
Although Qin Yi had a minor grievance with Huang Shanshan, the child was innocent. For the sake of the unborn, he could not stand idly by!
"Stop!"
Liu Xiong blocked Qin Yi's path, but then he seemed to realize something and asked with surprise, "You drank my water too, why are you completely fine???"
Qin Yi sneered. The petty tricks of others were useless against him.
After drinking the water, he had neutralized the harmful substance within two minutes...
However, Qin Yi naturally had no intention of explaining anything. He simply said coldly, "I didn't expect the Han Group to have such a rotten apple among them..."
"What did you say?"
Anger surged within Liu Xiong. He reached out to grab Huang Shanshan, trying to snatch her back. "Let go of her..."
Qin Yi kicked out, hitting Liu Xiong in the stomach and sending him flying several meters away. He landed on the ground, writhing in pain, unable to even stand, let alone speak for a while.
At this moment, Huang Shanshan closed her eyes, completely losing consciousness and collapsing onto Qin Yi.
Qin Yi scooped Huang Shanshan into his arms, left Liu Xiong's office, went downstairs, and rushed out of the Han Group building.
Some employees of the Han Group who witnessed this looked on in surprise and confusion.
As Qin Yi ran out of the building holding Huang Shanshan, Han Xin happened to be coming out of an office on the first floor and caught sight of his retreating figure.
"Qin Yi???"
Han Xin was utterly astonished.
She watched as Qin Yi carried Huang Shanshan out of the building and into a white sedan parked not far away.
Then, she saw that the sedan did not drive away but remained stationary, occasionally shaking slightly...
Han Xin's mind exploded.
She didn't chase after them or go to the car to investigate. Instead, she immediately turned and headed for the surveillance room, instructing them to retrieve the footage from the elevator and lobby.
When she clearly saw from the surveillance footage that it was indeed Qin Yi carrying a woman out of the building, her face turned pale.
Her body swayed, and she stumbled back two steps.
"President!!!"
Fortunately, her secretary quickly supported her, preventing Han Xin from falling.
...
Outside, in the white sedan.
This was Huang Shanshan's car; they had arrived in it earlier.
Inside the car, Qin Yi placed Huang Shanshan in the back seat and sat beside her, continuously pressing his fingers on several acupoints on her back.
Then, he placed a palm on Huang Shanshan's forehead.
A wisp of white energy emerged from his palm and entered her body through her forehead.
After about ten minutes, Qin Yi withdrew his hand and wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead.
"Phew!"
He exhaled and murmured to himself, "This kind of medicine is more troublesome to cure than poison! Fortunately, my qi is strong, or I really wouldn't have been able to cure it today..."
Qin Yi then saw Huang Shanshan lying awkwardly on the seat, her upper body on the seat and her lower body on the seat.
Worried that this position might be bad for the fetus, Qin Yi leaned over, intending to help her sit up straight.
But unexpectedly, as he leaned in and reached out to help her, before his hands even touched her, Huang Shanshan suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.
Qin Yi froze, his hands suspended in mid-air.
Seeing him like this, Huang Shanshan was also stunned.
After three seconds, Huang Shanshan roared, "Qin Yi, what are you trying to do? Get away from me..."
At the same time, she quickly sat up straight, hugged her arms across her chest, and stared at Qin Yi defensively.
"Qin Yi, I never thought you were this kind of person! If you dare to touch me today, believe it or not, I'll call the police and have you thrown in jail for a few more years?"
