Chapter 78: Almost Raped

The fake cops ran into real police officers. When Liu Qiang and Zhao Liang saw the guns, they quickly dropped their cleavers and bricks and raised their hands. However, Liu Hongmei didn’t loosen her grip on Shui Miao. She clung tightly to him, holding him in a suffocating embrace. Shui Miao struggled but couldn’t break free. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind—he wished he could summon the fire element from his internal five-element qigong to burn this stinking bitch to death.

This sudden thought sent a jolt through Shui Miao’s heart.

“That’s right! I’ve already mastered the Yin-Yang Five Elements Qigong. Why haven’t I tried using it? It’s like martial artists who develop internal energy—they use it in combat. Why can’t I use my Five Elements Qigong to fight back? Exactly! Let me test it out on Liu Hongmei. I’ll use the Fire Spirit against her!”

With this thought, Shui Miao focused his mind. In a single breath, he began silently reciting incantations and activating his Yin-Yang Five Elements Qigong.

“Go ahead! If you’ve got the guts, shoot me! I’m just a woman with no weapon, hugging a man. How is that against the law? Tell me, which law have I broken?” Liu Hongmei, naturally bold and fiery, wouldn’t be intimidated by Lin Xue’s simple words.

“…”

Indeed, hugging someone wasn’t illegal. Usually bold and carefree, Lin Xue was momentarily stumped by Liu Hongmei’s words. She glanced at Chu Miaoyi, unsure what to do next.

Chu Miaoyi pointed her camera at Liu Hongmei while walking up the stairs, saying, “Let me repeat: we are police officers. We received a report of a disturbance here, so we came to investigate. Now you’re clinging tightly to a man and refusing to cooperate. We have reason to suspect you’re trying to strangle him.”

“Exactly! You’re trying to commit murder,” Lin Xue quickly chimed in, climbing the stairs behind her.

Upon hearing Chu Miaoyi’s words, Liu Hongmei immediately changed her tone: “Oops, misunderstanding! I’m not trying to harm him. He stole things from my room, and I was afraid he’d run off, so I held him. Right! My nephew and his friends are neighborhood security guards—they can confirm it. And the tenants in this building can too!” Liu Hongmei tightened her grip around Shui Miao’s waist. Seeing him close his eyes, she thought he was pretending to be unconscious and sneered, “You little brat, don’t play dead! You stole over a hundred thousand yuan worth of stuff from me—you’re not getting away with this!”

As Liu Hongmei ranted, she suddenly felt a searing heat in her lower abdomen!

Her stomach pressed tightly against Shui Miao’s, and the burning sensation grew stronger, oddly pleasurable.

Shui Miao, wearing loose shorts, was channeling the fire element. He felt his lower abdomen growing warmer and warmer. At this rate, he might roast himself alive before Liu Hongmei. Worse, as he activated the fire energy, his manhood stiffened uncontrollably, becoming painfully erect.

What’s going on? Could this little brat actually be turned on by me?

Feeling Shui Miao’s hardness pressing against her, Liu Hongmei in her skirt felt her mouth go dry.

“Let go of him! His face is already red from your grip.”

Seeing Shui Miao’s flushed face, Chu Miaoyi urged Liu Hongmei to loosen her hold.

But Liu Hongmei, aroused and thrilled by Shui Miao’s body, had no intention of letting go. She shifted her hands lower, gripping his butt and pulling him closer. A jolt of pleasure surged through her body, and she felt a warm wetness spread between her legs.

“Why should I let him go? Until this is cleared up, don’t touch him! I have heart problems—you’ll be responsible if I collapse! And clearly, I’m not trying to strangle him,” Liu Hongmei pretended to be fierce, though she had no heart condition at all.

“Shameless! Absolutely shameless! I can’t take it anymore—I’ll kill you!”

Seeing Liu Hongmei take advantage of Shui Miao in front of everyone, Lin Xue clenched her fists, ready to strike. But Chu Miaoyi held her back.

“Lin Jie, don’t. The young man is breathing fine now. It’s harmless. If she has the strength to hold him, let her. I’ll talk to her. You go check if those two officers are impostors.”

Chu Miaoyi could tell Liu Hongmei had no intention of harming Shui Miao.

In this situation, dealing with such a fiery woman required persuasion, not force.

“Fine… if you can handle it, I guess I can too,” Lin Xue muttered. She knew Chu Miaoyi had a soft spot for Shui Miao. If she could tolerate such an embarrassing scene, why should she interfere?

Shui Miao felt a strange sensation in his lower body. Opening his eyes, he saw Liu Hongmei’s lustful expression and instantly understood everything. Embarrassed, he tried to struggle free, but then noticed Chu Miaoyi nearby. If he broke free and she saw his predicament, he’d rather die than face her.

“Alright, you’re finally okay,” Chu Miaoyi sighed in relief when she saw Shui Miao open his eyes. She turned to Liu Hongmei and said, “Auntie, we’re on the balcony—it’s dangerous here. Why don’t we go inside to talk?”

This was exactly what Liu Hongmei wanted.

She immediately carried Shui Miao toward her room. But the moment she entered, she pushed him onto the bed, shut the door, locked it, and then pounced on him like a hungry wolf. In the dark room, Shui Miao was caught completely off guard.

“Get off me…”

Shui Miao had never seen such a disgusting woman. He roared in anger and shoved her away.

But Liu Hongmei clung to him like superglue, refusing to let go. Pushed aside, she lunged again.

“Are you trying to die?!”

Shui Miao shoved her off once more, stunned that his sworn enemy was trying to rape him!

Liu Hongmei, a widow for many years, was now fully aroused. She wrapped herself around him, pressing her lips to his face, whispering, “I’ll take responsibility. Just this once—I’ll do anything for you! Give in to me, and I’ll give you everything. I’ll be your servant, obey your every command. Whatever you want, I’ll do it…”

Disgusting, sordid words poured from Liu Hongmei’s mouth.

“Bitch!!”

Shui Miao roared again, shoved her hard, and bolted out the door.

Liu Hongmei jumped up to follow, but Chu Miaoyi, flushed with embarrassment, blocked her at the door. Liu Hongmei quickly smiled and said, “It’s okay—he didn’t steal anything. I made a mistake. We’ve already cleared things up. You two can go now.”

“…”

Shui Miao ran downstairs and out of the courtyard.

Chu Miaoyi frowned, unsure what else to say. She quickly called Lin Xue and chased after him.

“You two bastards dared to impersonate cops! If you don’t turn yourselves in at the police station by noon tomorrow, I’ll have Director Zhang issue a warrant for you. Let me tell you, I’ll be deputy director of Zhonghai City soon!”

Seeing Chu Miaoyi head downstairs, Lin Xue shouted at Liu Qiang and Zhao Liang, then ran off.

After getting downstairs, Lin Xue spotted Liu Qiang’s special police car, climbed in, and drove off.

The car was gone—how could that be allowed? Liu Qiang and Zhao Liang rushed out in pursuit.

“Shui Miao—you won’t escape my grasp!”

Standing on the balcony, Liu Hongmei felt a deep emptiness inside. She wondered why this encounter felt so different from all the other men she’d met. Even now, she still felt a strange floating sensation. She couldn’t take it anymore—she needed to deal with it herself…

※※※

Shui Miao walked along the street under the night sky, his heart heavy with conflicting emotions.

Chu Miaoyi caught up, panting, “Xiao Shui, what’s wrong? Liu Hongmei said you two had already cleared things up. Why are you so upset? Could it be… because she insulted you?”

Chu Miaoyi thought only girls would care about such things. She hadn’t expected a boy to be so sensitive.

Normally, a boy in this situation might even feel secretly pleased.

“Come on! It’s not that big a deal—just physical contact! I’m holding your hand now, and this is the first time I’ve ever held a boy’s hand. I’m not embarrassed—why should you be?” Chu Miaoyi grabbed Shui Miao’s hand and stopped him. She assumed he felt humiliated by Liu Hongmei’s embrace. After all, they were in the room only briefly—what could have happened?

Shui Miao gently pulled his hand away. “Thanks. Don’t worry—I’m fine.”

“Good! That’s the spirit!” Chu Miaoyi nodded. “Tomorrow we’ll investigate further. Once we find solid evidence, we’ll arrest Liu Hongmei and help you uncover the truth about your origins.” She clenched her little fist and waved it in front of her.

“Xiao Shui, why don’t you come with us to the hotel?”

Lin Xue parked the car beside Shui Miao and opened the door, ignoring Liu Qiang and Zhao Liang hundreds of meters away.

“No thanks, Lin Jie.” Shui Miao nodded at Lin Xue, then turned to Chu Miaoyi. “It’s getting late. You two should go back and rest. I’ll walk a bit and head home. Tomorrow at noon, I’ll treat you both to lunch—please don’t decline.”

“Alright, it’s a deal.”

Chu Miaoyi reached out and shook Shui Miao’s hand.

“A deal…”

Watching Lin Xue drive off, Shui Miao sighed. He felt unworthy of Chu Miaoyi’s friendship, a sense of shame lingering in his heart.

He walked alone on the street for over half an hour, gradually calming down…

Men! This was bound to happen sooner or later!

Maybe it’s fate. She sold me when I was a child, and now she’s clinging to me again…

Sigh… But what have I really lost? Maybe I should use this connection to find out the truth about my origins first?

That’s the only way. Damn it, I can’t let this go to waste!

Shui Miao wasn’t the kind to value chastity above all. After thinking it through, he naturally felt better.

Returning home, the other tenants were already asleep.

He climbed the stairs and reached his room, only to find the door kicked in. As he debated whether to ask Liu Hongmei for the key to the adjacent room to sleep there instead, Liu Hongmei opened her door, wearing a white nightgown.

“Xiao Shui… come sleep with me.”

“This bitch… maybe I should just beat her up?”

Shui Miao thought for a moment, then did something completely out of character—he walked straight into Liu Hongmei’s room…
