To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

Jiang Jinhuan, holding his teacup, was completely dumbfounded.

What did he do? Why would he call the police to arrest him?

Drugging?

Did he drug her?

Who was drugged? Where did he get the drug?

He looked down at the tea and dishes in front of him, then looked up at Qin Lan, his brows furrowing tightly.

However, he seemed to need to explain now, "Sister Lan, I didn't—"

"You're still trying to deny it!" Xue Ru interrupted him, reaching out to pull Qin Lan away. "Lanlan, stand up and stay away from him. We'll take you away!"

Yiyi said, "I never expected this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes to be such a bad person! I actually thought highly of you back then!"

Qin Lan remained seated, not moving.

She was about to say something when she felt something was wrong. She felt dizzy, her body was slightly hot, and her heart was beating faster than before.

A blush crept onto her face, and a strange restlessness stirred within her.

But the feeling didn't frighten her; instead, it brought a tingling, warm sensation.

Her eyes also became moist as she looked at Jiang Jinhuan.

"Lanlan? What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"

Yiyi noticed Qin Lan's unusual behavior and her tone became even more anxious, "Are you under the influence of the drug? Jiang Jinhuan, you bastard! You're finished today, I'm calling the police right now!"

Yiyi opened the alarm interface and was about to press the call button.

"Yiyi!" Qin Lan suddenly spoke, a hint of panic in her voice, grabbing Yiyi's arm. "Don't call the police!"

Yiyi's fingers paused, and she looked at Qin Lan with some suspicion.

After stopping Yiyi, Qin Lan looked up at Jiang Jinhuan.

Her eyes were somewhat unfocused, her cheeks were flushed with an unnatural redness, and her lips were slightly pursed, as if she were suppressing something.

However, the way her tongue unconsciously licked her lips seemed to betray her thoughts!

But there was no anger, no disgust, no pain or fear in her eyes. Instead, there was a tenderness and intimacy that Yiyi and Xueru couldn't understand.

"Jin Huan," Qin Lan's voice was soft, with a hint of coquetry, "Do you want to? If you do... you don't have to do this. Just tell me, and I'll cooperate."

The private room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Yiyi's fingers froze on the phone screen, her mouth agape in an "O" shape.

Xue Ru's eyes widened in shock, and she stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

The boss, who was standing outside, suddenly covered his ears, feeling that he shouldn't be there.

If Qin Lan finds out, he'll probably be killed to silence him.

The boss stealthily moved backward, then scrambled downstairs, exclaiming, "Good heavens, the iron tree suddenly bloomed!"

Inside the private room.

"Lanlan, what...what did you say?"

Xue Ru's voice trembled, tinged with disbelief, "He drugged your food! He's trying to harm you! He'd do something only a beast would do to you!"

Yiyi added, "Lanlan, this guy is a hypocrite, all sanctimonious and morally upright. We misjudged him!"

Jiang Jinhuan was speechless. In just a short while, he seemed to have turned into a super awful pervert!

However, he didn't know how to explain it. Perhaps calling the police wouldn't be a bad idea. He would rather go to jail now.

Qin Lan seemed not to hear her words, and continued to look at Jiang Jinhuan with an almost indulgent smile in her eyes.

"He just wants to get close to me, right? What method wouldn't work? This is between us! It's just a small matter, you don't need to interfere!"

As Qin Lan spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, but the blush on her face deepened, until finally a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

It's that kind of shyness that only comes with the first stirrings of love!

Yiyi and Xueru exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief and shock in each other's eyes.

This woman, who was drugged, actually spoke up for the other party?

And they even said it was a matter between the two of them?

What is it? Is this really such a small matter?

Does she even know what she's saying?

"Lanlan, are you confused because the medication is taking effect?"

Yiyi approached Qin Lan and anxiously shook her shoulders. "Wake up! This man is no good! He drugged you; he wants to sleep with you!"

Qin Lan felt a little dizzy from being shaken, but still smiled and shook her head: "Yiyi, stop fooling around. If he wants to sleep, that's fine!"

She spoke the last sentence very softly, so much so that even Yiyi didn't hear it!

She then looked at Jiang Jinhuan, her gaze as gentle as spring water: "Um, Yiyi, I know him. He's not that kind of person! If he wanted to, why would he need to drug me?"

Yiyi and Xueru were completely speechless.

Jiang Jin Huan sat opposite him, his expression gradually changing from astonishment to seriousness.

He did not drug it.

Who administered the drug?

He glanced at the food and flower tea on the table.

His gaze darkened slightly.

Someone wants to harm him.

This person may not necessarily be after Qin Lan; more likely, they want to ruin his reputation.

The other party drugged Qin Lan's food and then notified Qin Lan's friends to catch them in the act!

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why these two best friends would rush in at this moment!

Now all the evidence seems to point to himself.

If Yiyi and Xueru really call the police, and the police come and find the drugs in the food, he will be unable to clear his name even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

He also sensed that something was wrong with him, but the abnormality was so slight that he didn't think about it in any particular direction.

Jiang Jinhuan tapped the table lightly with his finger, attracting the attention of several women.

Jiang Jinhuan looked at Qin Lan seriously. "I didn't drug her. Someone set a trap to embarrass me!"

"Heh, I knew you'd say that. Do you think we're fools?" Xue Ru glared angrily at Jiang Jin Huan, like an angry kitten!

Qin Lan stopped her best friend again and looked at Jiang Jin Huan, saying, "I know you wouldn't hurt me."

She spoke with such certainty that both Yiyi and Xueru were stunned.

"Lanlan, do you really trust him that much?" Xue Ru couldn't help but ask.

Qin Lan's lips curled slightly as she looked at Jiang Jinhuan, her voice soft yet firm: "I trust him, because if he wanted to, he wouldn't need to..."

"What do you need?" Xue Ru asked.

However, Qin Lan didn't say much, but instead glanced shyly at Jiang Jinhuan.

Jiang Jinhuan looked into her eyes, and felt as if something had gently bumped into his heart.

Jiang Jinhuan stood up at this moment. "Sister Lan, let's leave here first. Your health... you might need to go to the hospital to get checked out."

Qin Lan obediently stood up, her steps a little unsteady, and leaned against him, looking up at him with a slightly hazy, intoxicated smile: "Wherever you take me, I'll go."

Behind Qin Lan, Yi Yi and Xue Ru's expressions and bodies stiffened.

They seemed to realize what was going on!

Jiang Jinhuan then supported Qin Lan's waist and turned to Yiyi and Xueru, saying, "Come with me. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation."

Yiyi and Xueru looked at each other, and finally nodded.

This time, they kept quiet about calling the police and stopped cursing Jiang Jinhuan!

As the four of them came out of the private room and went downstairs, Jiang Jinhuan's gaze swept around the lobby.

He saw the teapot on the table in the corner, with steam still rising from the rim of the cup.

But the seats were empty.

Jiang Jinhuan narrowed his eyes slightly, said nothing, and helped Qin Lan out of the restaurant.

In the darkness of night, a black sedan was parked beside this old street.

Jiang Zhe sat in the driver's seat, his hands gripping the steering wheel, veins bulging.

He waited for a long time, but he didn't hear any sirens or see anyone being taken away. He only saw Qin Lan and Jiang Jinhuan walking out, supporting each other.

Qin Lan's best friend followed behind, not as furious as one might expect, but with a hint of gossip in her eyes!

What he found even more unacceptable was that Qin Lan was still leaning against Jiang Jinhuan's chest.

How could she, how dare she do such a thing?

Shouldn't she call the police to arrest Jiang Jinhuan?

And what's going on with those two best friends? Why are they completely unmoved?

Why did he spend so much money to get their phone numbers?

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!" Jiang Zhe slammed his hand on the steering wheel, and the horn blared.
