I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

"Starlight Splendor" KTV.

The deafening music penetrated the walls, creating a cacophony of sounds in the corridor.

In a private booth deep inside, a stunningly beautiful woman lay quietly on the sofa, her eyes closed, seemingly fast asleep.

Inside the private room, a man and a woman were talking in hushed tones.

The man is A-Qiang, the manager of this KTV, and the woman is Liu Qian, the receptionist of the KTV, and also the classmate of the sleeping woman on the sofa—Qin Ruoxue.

"Qianqian, is it really going to work? I just called the Qin family with my black card and asked for ten million... Will they really give it to me?" Aqiang's voice was filled with tension and unease.

Liu Qian glanced at him, her face full of disdain and certainty.

"It'll definitely work! What do you know?"

She crossed her arms and looked at Qin Ruoxue, who was unconscious on the sofa, her tone filled with satisfaction.

"Now, the Qin family is like a rat in the street in Jiangcheng. Everyone avoids them. Those rich kids who used to follow Qin Ruoxue around can't even be seen now, for fear of getting involved with their family."

"At a time like this, if something happens to their family, do you think they would dare to call the police and make a big fuss? Ten million is something a starving camel like them can come up with. They would just obediently pay up and try to settle things quietly."

Liu Qian became more and more smug as she spoke: "If it weren't for the fact that she's been in a bad mood lately, would she have agreed so readily when I asked her to come out for drinks to cheer herself up? She passed out after I made her drink a few spiked cocktails."

Upon hearing the number ten million, A-Qiang rubbed his hands together excitedly, his eyes shining.

"Once we get the money, we'll go back to our hometown, buy a house and a car, and get married in style!"

His gaze couldn't help but drift towards the sofa.

Even in her deep sleep, Qin Ruoxue's face on the sofa was breathtakingly beautiful.

With fair skin, delicate features, and an impeccable figure, she was in no way inferior to Su Wanqing, the rumored number one beauty in Jiangcheng.

Ah Qiang's Adam's apple bobbed, and a greedy look appeared on his face.

"Qianqian, what do you think... how about..."

"You dare!" Liu Qian glared at him fiercely. "Don't even think about it! Not a single hair on her head will be spared until we get the money!"

Ah Qiang shrank back, embarrassed and no longer daring to look.

Seeing his persistent and wicked look, Liu Qian frowned and coldly ordered, "Go outside and keep watch. Don't let anyone near here. Also, keep an eye on your phone and be ready to answer a call from the Qin family at any time."

Ah Qiang quickly nodded, turned around, and slipped out.

After the door closed, Liu Qian's gaze returned to Qin Ruoxue's face and lingered there for a long time.

It's truly... a face I can never get tired of looking at.

She reached out, her fingertips almost touching Qin Ruoxue's smooth cheek, her eyes blazing with jealousy.

On what grounds?

Why is Qin Ruoxue seen as a princess by everyone since college?

She comes from a good family, is beautiful, and all the boys are swarming around her.

As for herself, she could only be an inconspicuous supporting character beside her, smiling and agreeing, but secretly she was insanely jealous.

Now, hasn't this once high and mighty princess fallen on hard times?

Isn't it just lying here like a dead dog, at my mercy?

Liu Qian suddenly felt that asking for only ten million was too cheap for her.

She stood up, took a sharp utility knife out of her bag, and with a "click," pushed out the blade.

She dared not kill.

But she's going to ruin this face!

She wanted to let Qin Ruoxue experience what it was like to be an ordinary girl, walking down the street and no one paying attention to her!

Just as she gripped the knife, her face contorted with rage, and walked toward the sofa—

"Knock knock".

There was a knock on the door of the private room.

Liu Qian froze abruptly, her heart skipping a beat.

Who? A waiter? No, she had already given instructions that no one was allowed to approach this private room.

"Who is it?!" she shouted impatiently, suppressing her anger, and quickly walked to the door, looking out through the peephole.

A young, unfamiliar man stood outside, dressed in an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, calmly watching them.

"You've come to the wrong place! Get out of here!"

Liu Qian cursed, quickly closed the door, and locked it with a "click".

A strong sense of unease welled up inside me.

She immediately pulled out her phone and dialed A-Qiang's number: "A-Qiang! Come quick! It seems someone's watching us, right at the door!"

As soon as she hung up the phone, she heard a soft click from the door lock.

The sound was strange; it didn't sound like something being pried open, but more like the sound of metal being cut off instantly.

next second.

The door, which she had locked from the inside, was gently pushed open by a hand.

Ye An walked in.

"You...how did you get in!" Liu Qian screamed in fright, backing away repeatedly.

She watched Ye An walk in as if the locked door didn't exist at all.

Ye An ignored her.

He rushed from Longquan Mingdi to this KTV near Jiangcheng University, traveling at breakneck speed, in less than five minutes.

His senses had already locked onto the private room, and he had heard the conversation inside clearly.

His gaze fell on Qin Ruoxue, who was fast asleep on the sofa, and he sighed softly.

"Qin Ruoxue, Qin Ruoxue, you really have bad luck in choosing men."

"Impossible!" Liu Qian's voice became shrill with fear. "You couldn't have found this place! Absolutely not!"

Ye An finally turned his head and glanced at her.

There are many things you don't know.

After saying that, he ignored the woman who was already terrified and walked straight to the sofa, reaching out and placing his hand on Qin Ruoxue's wrist.

After confirming that she had only been drugged with a common sleeping potion and was otherwise unharmed, Ye An brought his index and middle fingers together, with a wisp of true energy invisible to others swirling around the fingertips.

Golden needle to cut the pulse.

Using his fingers instead of needles, he quickly pressed several acupoints on Qin Ruoxue's body.

A few seconds later, Qin Ruoxue let out a muffled groan, suddenly sat up from the sofa, turned her head and vomited a mouthful of filth into the trash can next to her.

The sleeping pills were forced out completely.

Qin Ruoxue leaned against the sofa, panting heavily, her mind still a little hazy. She shook her dizzy head, looked up, and met Ye Anping's calm face.

"Ye... Ye An?"

What is she doing here? Wasn't she drinking with Liu Qian?

She instinctively looked for Liu Qian and then saw her "best friend" huddled in the corner, pale-faced and trembling.

At Liu Qian's feet lay a gleaming utility knife.

Even if Qin Ruoxue was slow to realize, she instantly understood what had happened.

A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight up to the top of my head.

Just then, Ye An slowly stood up.

He bent down, picked up the utility knife from the ground, and played with it between his fingers. The blade extended and retracted under his control, making a soft "click, click" sound.

The only sound in the entire private room was this monotonous yet unsettling noise.

Ye An turned around and walked towards Liu Qian, who was trembling like a sieve.

He stopped in front of Liu Qian, looked down at her, and spoke in a calm tone as if he were asking how the weather was today.

"Ten million to buy a life."

"Do you think your life is worth that price?"
