After Transmigrating as a Wealthy Woman: Don’t You Dare Touch My Baby! [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 5

Zhu Xingtong strode toward the building next door. Suddenly, a small alley between the restaurant and the hotel caught her attention.

“Ouch—” “My eyes!” “It hurts! Miss Zhong, have mercy! Stop hitting us, stop hitting us!” “I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything!”

The three words “Miss Zhong” made Zhu Xingtong freeze. She turned toward the alley entrance and hurriedly walked a few steps inside.

She saw a back clad in a short skirt. The woman was holding her high heels in her hand, brushing back her long hair. Her voice carried a trace of a smile, yet it was laced with a chilling frost: “Zhang Qi told you to do this?”

Two thugs lay before her, their faces bruised and swollen.

Zhu Xingtong retracted the leg she had almost used to charge in. This was completely different from the scene she had imagined!

“Yes, yes, it was all President Zhang’s orders. He told us to drug you and take you to the hotel next door… said someone was waiting there. We weren’t supposed to say anything, just… just unbutton your clothes, take a few photos, and leave.” The thug clutched his face pitifully.

Heaven knows how much it hurts to get hit with a high heel! Even his mother had never hit him like that! This Zhong Ying was far too ruthless!

“Which room in the hotel?”

The thug stammered, “1708…”

“Are you sure you didn’t remember wrong?” Zhong Ying asked, narrowing her eyes. The high heel in her hand looked very unfriendly.

The thug shuddered and nodded repeatedly. “I didn’t, I didn’t! It’s 1708!”

“I won’t call the police. You can go. As for Zhang Qi… you know what to tell him, right?”

The thug was stunned. “You’re really not calling the police?”

“Mhm.”

The two thugs looked at each other and whispered, “Miss Zhong, you’re truly beautiful and kind-hearted… Since you aren’t calling the police, we’ll do exactly as you say.”

The two of them were just small-time punks scraping a living under their boss. While they did some dirty work, they didn’t have the guts to challenge the law directly. To lose a fight to a woman and get beaten up on top of it—it was a bit pathetic when they thought about it. They thought they were going to jail, but she wasn’t reporting them?

Zhong Ying curled her lips. “I’ll go to Room 1708. You just tell him the plan was a success.”

“Got it!”

With the consensus reached, Zhong Ying let them leave.

Zhu Xingtong, hiding at the alley entrance, swallowed hard as she watched them go. She had almost forgotten. Back when she was writing this to make the female lead more “cool,” she had given Zhong Ying a background in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). Thank goodness she had mentioned that setting!

Zhu Xingtong: Suddenly I feel like I have the “Magic Brush of Ma Liang”!

“Miss Fan? Why are you here?” Zhong Ying put her shoes back on and saw Zhu Xingtong as she stepped out of the alley.

Zhu Xingtong said with a serious face: “From now on, please call me ‘Magic Brush Zhu’!”

Zhong Ying: ??

“Are you okay? Even if you’re strong, you shouldn’t face two thugs with your bare hands! What if they were very powerful? What would you do?” Zhu Xingtong was still worried. She had truly thought Zhong Ying had been taken away!

“I wasn’t bare-handed.” Zhong Ying smoothed her messy hair. “I also brought pepper spray… yeah.”

Seeing her lingering fear, Zhong Ying decided not to mention that she also had a dagger in her bag.

“Why did you follow me out? Aren’t you going to eat?”

Zhu Xingtong said without blinking, “There are rats! How can I eat in a filthy restaurant?”

Zhong Ying: “…” Thinking about it, she smiled again. This fan was truly adorable. She must have seen the heated confrontation with Zhang Qi and followed her out because she was worried.

“What… what are you laughing at?” Zhu Xingtong’s face turned red, but she was thinking—As expected of my cub, her smile is so beautiful!

Zhong Ying patted her head. “Nothing. Hurry and find somewhere to eat. I have something to do; I have to go first.”

“Ah… okay.” Zhu Xingtong covered her head, not understanding why Zhong Ying had patted her.

It wasn’t until she saw Zhong Ying walking toward the hotel next door that she reacted. Wait!

“Zhong Ying! Where are you going?! You aren’t… you aren’t actually going into that hotel, are you? Didn’t those thugs say it’s dangerous?!”

Zhong Ying didn’t look back. “That is also something I need to settle.”

Zhu Xingtong hurriedly followed.

“What are you doing?” Zhong Ying blocked her. “Go eat. Why are you following me?”

“I’m going too! I don’t want to see tomorrow morning’s entertainment headlines saying my favorite actress was sent to the emergency room!” Zhu Xingtong’s eyes were bright, her face clearly saying “No one can talk me out of this.”

“I’ll go with you so we can watch each other’s backs. Don’t look at me like this—I can definitely help!”

“No!” Zhong Ying didn’t want to get her involved.

“Alright, alright, let’s go, hurry!” Zhu Xingtong didn’t care about the protest and pulled her along. “I promise I won’t get in your way!”

In the end, it was Zhu Xingtong who dragged Zhong Ying into the hotel. Zhong Ying felt utterly helpless.

In Room 1708, President Chen had been waiting for a long time. When the doorbell finally rang, he adjusted his bathrobe, dragged his heavy, obese body to the door, and opened it.

Even for a man who had hunted many beauties, he couldn’t help but stare blankly the moment he saw her. Yes! In his heart, Zhong Ying suited red best. Alluring and sexy should be her primary colors!

“It’s Xiaoying. Come in quickly.” Chen Zhang could already feel his desire stirring. “The AC is on in the room; you don’t need the shawl, right?”

“President Chen, in such a hurry? About the female lead for The Actor… you haven’t given me an answer yet.” Zhong Ying twirled her hair and gave a light laugh. She sat on the edge of the bed, her long legs like a temptress hooking his soul. Chen Zhang couldn’t look away.

He stared intently, his eyes practically bulging with lust.

“I’ll give it to you, of course. You don’t know how many women have climbed into my bed just for the lead in The Actor. But in my heart, only you are the perfect fit.” Chen Zhang licked his lips. “You stood me up last time. I thought you didn’t want the role; I felt so sorry for you.”

Zhong Ying’s lips curled into a smile. “I want the lead role, of course, but not in this way.”

“Hmm?”

Zhong Ying stood up, grabbed the glass of red wine from the table, and splashed it directly into Chen Zhang’s face. “I came here today just to wake you up!”

Caught off guard, Chen Zhang got a face full of wine. When he realized what happened, he was instantly furious. “You bitch! What are you doing!”

He raised his hand to slap her. But Zhong Ying’s reaction was faster. She didn’t even think before smashing the empty wine glass directly against Chen Zhang’s head.

Clang—Crash!

Glass shattered everywhere. Chen Zhang felt a wave of dizziness as thick blood flowed from his forehead, staining his vision red.

By now, Chen Zhang had no room in his mind for Zhong Ying’s graceful figure. He only had one thought: Is this woman crazy? Is she trying to kill me?!

“Crazy woman! Do you want to die?!” Chen Zhang clutched his forehead. The slick wetness on his hands filled him with shock and rage. He made a move to pounce on her—he was going to beat her to death!

“Don’t move!” Without a word, Zhong Ying pulled out the dagger she carried and pressed it against the left side of Chen Zhang’s chest.

Chen Zhang immediately pulled back his foot. Just an inch more, and the sharp blade would have pierced his skin. “You…”

Zhong Ying held the knife, the tip slowly sliding down Chen Zhang’s skin until it reached his lower abdomen. Despite the dangerous and urgent situation, she still wore a smile. “This knife doesn’t have eyes. You should think carefully before doing anything, President Chen. If I accidentally nick somewhere I shouldn’t, there won’t be any happiness left for the rest of your life.”

Looking at her overly beautiful face, Chen Zhang suddenly felt a sliver of ice in his heart.
