?Chapter 576: Chapter 577: Heart-to-Heart (6)_1 Chapter 576: Chapter 577: Heart-to-Heart (6)_1 “It’s evident that you’re unwilling, Miss Jing. However, in your Chinese culture, there’s a saying, ‘not stop until the goal is achieved.’ Therefore, Miss Jing, will you drink this drugged wine by yourself, or will I have someone force you to drink it?”
The amber liquid in the transparent glass trembled slightly. The pill in the drink dissolved quickly, disappearing without a trace, making it indistinguishable from ordinary alcohol.
Mr. Suzuki didn’t say anything; he was just looking at Jing Haohao with an amused look in his eyes as if admiring the prey he was about to devour.
Jing Haohao stared at the wine in front of her, silent for a while. She turned her head, looked at Mr. Suzuki, and spoke with a placid tone, “Mr. Suzuki, you’ve had too much to drink tonight, let’s arrange another time to discuss this matter.”
With that, Jing Haohao stood up. “Goodbye, Mr. Suzuki.”
The people behind her continued to gather around the gambling table, playing cards as if they hadn’t noticed the events unfolding here at all.
The singer on the stage kept singing unfamiliar ballads. Her melodies wove together, soft and lingering, sinking into people’s hearts.
Mr. Suzuki comfortably sat back on his couch. In response to Jing Haohao’s words, he didn’t even lift his eyes. He just raised his hand, took a puff on his cigar, and allowed curls of smoke to waft out from between his lips and teeth.
Jing Haohao suppressed the tension in her heart and stood in front of Mr. Suzuki for a while before politely bowing and turning towards the door.
The heels of her shoes made a hollow sound on the wooden floor.
Mr. Suzuki still sat on the couch, motionless.
Jing Haohao stood in front of the door, noticing nothing unusual behind her, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As she was about to open the door, Mr. Suzuki’s voice suddenly came from behind: “Miss Jing.”
Jing Haohao’s hand froze on the doorknob.
She didn’t turn around, all her muscles tensed.
Then, Mr. Suzuki’s voice came again, “It seems that Miss Jing’s answer is that if one doesn’t drink a toast, one has to drink a forfeit?”
With the final word from Mr. Suzuki, the driver standing next to him quickly walked directly towards Jing Haohao.
Jing Haohao clearly heard the heavy footsteps rushing towards her from behind.
They carried a dangerous aura.
Jing Haohao took a deep breath, opened the door and ran out, not caring about anything else.
She used all her strength, as if she was being chased by ferocious beasts. No, it was indeed ferocious beasts behind her.
Some words in Japanese came from behind her. Jing Haohao didn’t understand what it meant, but she could feel that the person chasing her was getting closer and closer.
Jing Haohao was wearing high heels so she couldn’t run fast. The man chasing her was like a cat chasing a mouse. After only three turns, her long hair was abruptly grabbed, and she was harshly dragged back and thrown onto the couch.
Jing Haohao tried to struggle to stand up, only for the man to lift his hand and press her firmly onto the couch.
Mr. Suzuki still maintained his courteous demeanour, standing still, his eyes held a hint of appreciation as he watched Jing Haohao, who was struggling desperately but couldn’t escape. Then, with a faint smile on his lips, he began to walk towards the couch.
