In a private room of the Eastern Hotel.

In a lively atmosphere, Niu Bi, Wu Hao, Ye Lin, and Niu Bi's driver, Ma Xiaojun, were toasting each other.

Ye Lin, bombarded with toasts from the three men, had flushed cheeks, and her chest was heaving heavily. It was clear she had already consumed quite a bit.

"Assistant Ye, your alcohol tolerance isn't bad. Come on, have another?" Wu Hao said. Seeing that Ye Lin still showed no signs of intoxication after two bottles of beer, he prepared to pour her significantly more.

"Director Wu, I can't drink anymore..."

Ye Lin waved her hand. Her initial plan had been to gather some information from Wu Hao and Niu Bi. But to her disappointment, the dinner party consisted only of the four of them, leaving her the sole woman present.

Moreover, from the moment they sat at the table, these three men had begun plying her with drinks, instilling a growing unease in her.

"Come on, have some more. Beer won't get you drunk, and even if you do, Little Ma here will see you home," Wu Hao said with a sleazy grin, one hand reaching out to touch Ye Lin's back, trying to coax her to sit down.

Feeling Wu Hao's intrusive hand on her back, Ye Lin frowned, bit her lip, and managed to tolerate it.

If it weren't for the mission, I'd have to chop off your disgusting paws!

Shifting her body slightly, Ye Lin did her best to prevent Wu Hao from touching her.

Wu Hao, on the other hand, sensed Ye Lin's resistance. Frigid bitch! he cursed inwardly. Acting all pure and innocent, isn't she just trying to climb the ladder by getting close to Niu Bi? I'll have you someday!

Having no other choice, out of respect for the two superiors present, Ye Lin reluctantly raised her glass and drank with Wu Hao again.

"Umm... I need to use the restroom."

The beer glasses were deep. A single one could easily hold a third of a bottle, so a full glass contained a substantial amount. This was, of course, Niu Bi's deliberate arrangement. Ye Lin probably drank this glass too hastily. She choked slightly, a churning sensation rising in her stomach, and quickly excused herself to the restroom.

"Little Ma, accompany Assistant Ye."

"Got it."

After Wu Hao spoke, Ma Xiaojun, understanding the unspoken cue, quickly followed her out. As Niu Bi's driver, he was acutely aware of Niu Bi's tendencies in such matters. Naturally, as Niu Bi's confidant, he wouldn't breathe a word of it to anyone.

After the door of the private room closed, Niu Bi and Wu Hao exchanged a glance, their smiles widening.

"So, how is she?" Niu Bi asked Wu Hao suddenly.

Wu Hao understood what Niu Bi was asking. "Ye Lin seems to have a low alcohol tolerance; she doesn't look like a regular drinker. However, her willpower seems strong. Despite consuming so much, she doesn't appear to be on the verge of getting drunk."

Looking at Niu Bi, Wu Hao analyzed, "I estimate that after another two or three bottles, she'll be too out of it to argue." That was his conclusion.

Hearing this, Niu Bi frowned. "Three more bottles? I don't have that kind of time. I can't wait..." Remembering Ye Lin's voluptuous and tempting body, Niu Bi couldn't suppress a sinister smile.

Wu Hao naturally understood what Niu Bi meant. Niu Bi wanted to get straight to the point and take Ye Lin to bed.

"Brother Niu, don't worry, I've got this."

With a malicious smile, Wu Hao took out a small plastic bottle from his bag and unscrewed the cap.

"What is this? Ah..." Niu Bi was initially puzzled, then quickly realized.

The small bottle contained more than half a measure of white powder. Wu Hao poured a bit into Ye Lin's glass and chuckled cunningly, "This is a new concoction a friend of mine brought back from overseas. They say a woman will react within ten minutes of ingesting it, and within thirty minutes, she'll be thoroughly wet. Heh," Wu Hao chuckled, "at that point, any man she sees will become irresistible to her... This stuff is apparently called 'Spring Wildfire.' The idea is that once it's consumed, her desires will spread like an actual wildfire, eventually consuming her entirely…"

"You really know your stuff!" Listening to Wu Hao's explanation, Niu Bi couldn't help but praise him. "Next time, have your friend send me a couple of bottles. I'll pay you then."

"Brother Niu, now you're being too formal. There's no need to talk about money between us. If you want it, take this bottle first. I'll have my friend bring more in a few days."

Reading the room appropriately, Wu Hao handed the small white vial to Niu Bi, who gladly accepted, thinking to himself that Wu Hao really knew how to handle things.

"But, Brother Niu, be careful. This drug is extremely potent. They say if a cow even licks a bit, she'll go into heat. So, when you use it, don't use too large a dose… Besides," Wu Hao added with a sly chuckle, "the 'beauty' of this stuff is that once it takes effect, there's basically no antidote. The only way to counteract it is through sexual intercourse."

Wu Hao spoke mysteriously, recalling his previous two uses of the drug, which had undoubtedly been incredibly satisfying.

"Hmm." Niu Bi nodded in understanding, then picked up a bottle of beer and filled Ye Lin's now-drugged glass.

"Heh, I'm just going to have a bit of fun with her tonight," Niu Bi said with a smile. "After tonight, you can have a turn next time. I don't mind."

He spoke casually, as if Ye Lin were a mere commodity that could be passed between men.

"Good, good!"

Wu Hao also nodded with a smile, yet inwardly he was cursing. He actually expects me to use his leftovers, to sleep with a woman he's already had! Damn it!

However, the thought of Ye Lin's cold expression and her provocative figure made his spirits lift again. This woman, he vowed, he would "taste" sooner or later.

Just as they were speaking, the door to the private room opened, and Ma Xiaojun and Ye Lin walked in.

"Assistant Ye, are you okay? You seem to hold your liquor well; you're not drunk, are you?" Wu Hao quickly asked Ye Lin.

Ye Lin's pretty face was flushed as she sat back down. "I...I'm alright. But, Boss Niu, Director Wu, I really can't drink anymore. I don't tolerate alcohol well. If I drink any more, I'm afraid I'll throw up..."

In truth, Ye Lin couldn't hold her liquor well at all. However, as an inner strength cultivator, her physical constitution was excellent, and her mental fortitude was incredibly strong. Thus, with the aid of her Inner Strength, she could somewhat mitigate the alcohol's effects.

Nonetheless, this capacity was limited. Ye Lin, who normally wouldn't touch a drop of beer, had now consumed more than three bottles. She was already feeling dizzy, her cheeks burning.

"Assistant Ye has handled her drinks well," Niu Bi chuckled. "Heh, how about this? Let's have one last drink for the night. After this one, no more. What do you say?"
