Shi Man squatted down and stepped on her back. The corners of her lips curled up cruelly. “Tell me, did you do that?”

Bai Yao’s entire face scrunched up in pain. Her strong desire to live made her completely abandon the pride she had been protecting. She lowered her head and begged for mercy. “Yes, it was me. I want Yi Zheng, but he won’t talk to me no matter what. 1 can only use this method.”

Shi Man retracted her foot and turned to leave.

Bai Yao hurriedly called out to her. Her vision turned black as she struggled to hold her breath and begged, “Can you untie me first? 1 really can’t breathe. 1 beg you, 1 don’t want to die. I’ve already said everything I need to say.”

Shi Man stopped in her tracks and turned her head slightly to look at the woman lying on the ground in pain. She said coldly, “Someone will deal with you later. Just wait here patiently.”

Seeing that she was getting further and further away, Bai Yao suddenly took a deep breath and cursed venomously, “Shi Man, if you dare to touch my mother, 1 won’t let you off even if I become a ghost!”

Shi Man did not intend to care about her anymore. After walking out of the room, she happened to meet Tang Zhe, who had rushed over with his men.

“Miss Shi, leave this to us. The master is waiting for you downstairs.” Tang Zhe politely stepped aside to make way for her to enter the elevator.

Shi Man nodded slightly and did not ask how he planned to deal with it. She turned around and walked into the elevator to meet Yi Zheng downstairs.

She was still thinking about the poison affecting Yi Zheng just now. She quickened her pace and walked out of the building. At a glance, she saw a man standing by the car door, exuding a cold and abstinent aura.

When Yi Zheng saw her, a smile suddenly appeared on his originally expressionless face. He smiled and greeted her. “Why are you only out now? I’m a little hungry from waiting for you. I’ll take you to eat something delicious.”

Shi Man frowned and held his hand to test the temperature. “It’s still a little hot. Why don’t you go home first? Auntie Lu happened to have hired a new chef to make a table of morning tea. You might be able to eat it if you go back now.” “You’ve been to my house?” Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and held her hand. He pulled her back to the car. “That’s good. You can try the new chef’s cooking too.”

Shi Man shook her head gently and refused. “I want to see my brother first. His problem with Bai Xue hasn’t been resolved.”

Yi Zheng shrugged and said with a smile, “Then I’ll go with you. Let’s go. Get in the car.”

“But the poison in you hasn’t been completely removed.”

Shi Man wanted to say something else, but Yi Zheng stuffed her into the car forcefully. He grabbed her hand and placed it on his forehead with sparkling eyes. “Feel it again. It’s really fine. Don’t worry about me.”

Shi Man blinked and felt the normal temperature under her palm. She said in disbelief, “1 remember that you didn’t seem to have much of a reaction last time. Is this your personal physique?”

Yi Zheng flicked her forehead in amusement. “Stupid. I’ve been tortured by the heat poison for so many years. My body has long been immune to this aphrodisiac. I’ll just feel a little dizzy at first. Don’t worry, my self-control is still very strong.”

Shi Man nodded thoughtfully.

Every time the heat poison acted up, the level of torture was indeed much higher than this kind of unorthodox potion. If Yi Zheng didn’t have extraordinary willpower, he probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.

Seeing her look of confusion, Yi Zheng shook his head helplessly. As he drove, he asked, “What about you? You were also poisoned yesterday. How could you be fine?”

Shi Man pursed her lips and chuckled. She tilted her head mischievously. “Guess?”

Yi Zheng thought about it seriously for a while and casually guessed, “Could it be that you have a special physique and are talented?”

Shi Man knew that he was teasing her. She smiled foolishly for a while and explained without leaving him hanging, “That’s because 1 spat out the wine when they weren’t paying attention.”

Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows in understanding and deliberately dragged out the last words. His tone was filled with danger. “So you knew that the other party had poisoned you, but you still chose to beat them at their own game and walked into their trap?”

Shi Man felt that there was something wrong with his words, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that he was right. She pouted and rolled her eyes helplessly. “Alright, alright, 1 know what you’re going to say, but I’m very confident that 1’11 be successful. Even if I’m really tricked by those small fries, they’re not my match.”

Yi Zheng held his empty fist to his lips and coughed lightly. He asked seriously, “Then do you think I’ll be your match if we’re both hit?”

Shi Man was stunned for a moment before she felt her hand itch. While he was parking the car and waiting for the traffic light to turn green, she pinched his arm hard. “Of course, you’re not my match.”

“Alright, let’s try next time.” Yi Zheng endured the pain and let her pinch him as much as she wanted.

To him, Shi Man’s attack seemed to be forceful, but it was actually no different from a mosquito bite.

He would just bear with it for a while.

Shi Man had encountered his thick-skinned behavior more than once and could not be bothered to lower herself to his level. It was not until the car drove into Bai Hua District that she suddenly reacted and sized up him suspiciously.. “How did you know my brother was here?”
