Qin Feng and Gu Bei walked one in front and the other behind, one fast and the other slow, towards the elevator.
Qin Feng felt quite uncomfortable. He scratched the back of his head and explained, "Don't misunderstand. It's not that I want to save you. I'm doing this for Xie Bingxia."
"Save me?" Gu Bei was puzzled. "Explain clearly."
"I don't know." Qin Feng really didn't know what Dou Qian and Yuan Yiyun were up to. With his not - so - smart brain, he couldn't figure it out for a while. The only thing he could do was to take Gu Bei away, and he was sure that was the right thing to do.
Gu Bei turned around and called Xie Bingxia, but there was no answer. He hurriedly asked, "Where is Xie Bingxia?"
Ding! The elevator arrived just in time. Qin Feng took a couple of quick steps, quickly got in and pressed the close - door button. Just as the door closed, he didn't forget to make a face at Gu Bei: "I won't tell you!"
"Qin Feng!" Gu Bei was a step slower. He watched helplessly as the elevator door closed and the elevator went down. He kicked the base of the wall in anger.
Qin Feng made his way through the resort and came to the hotel accommodation area. Just then, he saw Xie Bingxia hurrying out in a flurry. He quickly walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The monitoring device is acting up again." Xie Bingxia said helplessly. "I just heard that Yuan Yiyun went to the main reception building. By the way, how's it going with Dou Qian?"
"Don't worry. Gu Bei is fine. Your guess is right. Yuan Yiyun is in cahoots with Dou Qian, and their target is Gu Bei." Seeing the confused look on Xie Bingxia's face, Qin Feng added, "I'll tell you in detail later. Let's take a look at your phone first."
Xie Bingxia took out her phone. "The program crashed, causing other software to malfunction. I can't turn it on." Qin Feng took it over. They both lowered their heads to check, completely unaware that someone was quietly approaching from behind. They only realized something was wrong when they were covered by someone's hands over their mouths and noses.
A pungent smell got into their noses. Their vision went black, and they lost all consciousness.
In the main reception building, Yuan Yiyun calculated that the time was about right and walked to the room where Dou Qian was. Dou Qian was sitting stupidly on a chair. There was no sign of Gu Bei.
"Where's Gu Bei?" Yuan Yiyun asked anxiously. Dou Qian told her what had happened step by step. Yuan Yiyun stamped her foot in anger. What a good plan, ruined by Qin Feng! But then she thought about it and a sly smile appeared on her lips. It might not be a bad thing that Qin Feng drank that cup of coffee. Originally, she planned to let Gu Bei drink it and then make things irreversible. She wanted to see how Gu Bei could deny it. Now that Qin Feng had drunk it and he was in the same room as Xie Bingxia, hehe... It would be quite a show.
She had to let Gu Bei witness this wonderful drama with his own eyes.
Yuan Yiyun was calculating a new plan in her mind. Dou Qian apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Teacher Yuan. You helped me attend the school leaders' dinner and created a chance for me to talk to Teacher Gu alone, but I failed to help you."
Yuan Yiyun immediately changed her expression and comforted her, "Don't take it to heart. Can you do one more favor for the teacher?"
Dou Qian nodded vigorously. "Just tell me, teacher."
Yuan Yiyun leaned over and whispered something in her ear. Dou Qian agreed, "I'll go and organize some students right away."
"Okay. Thank you so much." Yuan Yiyun patted her on the shoulder with a smile.

The coma didn't last long. When Xie Bingxia woke up and checked her watch, only half an hour had passed. She looked around and found that she and Qin Feng were locked in a place like a storage room. There was no light on, only the sign of "Emergency Exit" emitting a faint green light.
While they were trying to outwit Yuan Yiyun, Yuan Yiyun was also scheming against them. What was even more ridiculous was that she had an accomplice.
"Qin Feng..." Xie Bingxia pushed the person beside her. Suddenly, she felt that he was burning up. She quickly reached out to touch his forehead.
But Qin Feng quickly slapped her hand away and said, "Get away. Don't touch me!"
"Are you running a fever?"
"No, it's not..." Qin Feng gasped for breath as he spoke. He warned Xie Bingxia, "Stay away from me. Hurry up and find a way out of this door!"
Xie Bingxia was very confused. She stood up and checked the door, then said, "It's an electronic lock. The power switch has been pulled. Without electricity, it can't be opened at all."
Then she pounded on the door hard. "Is anyone there? Can you hear me? Is anyone there?"
"It seems that we've been locked in a very remote place." Xie Bingxia was disappointed.
"Then find a corner to hide. Stay as far away from me as possible!" Qin Feng almost roared at Xie Bingxia. Actually, he had woken up a few minutes earlier than Xie Bingxia. At first, he noticed that something was wrong with himself. He thought it was the effect of the sleeping drug, but gradually he realized it wasn't.
"What are you doing?" Xie Bingxia was a bit annoyed. "What on earth is going on?"
"That cup of coffee... the coffee that was originally meant for Gu Bei has a problem." Qin Feng briefly told Xie Bingxia what had happened at the dinner. Xie Bingxia wasn't stupid. She immediately understood.
"Damn it! That bitch Yuan is using such despicable means!" Xie Bingxia gritted her teeth. She squatted down beside Qin Feng and asked, "Are you okay?"
"No." Qin Feng gasped painfully. He was in a mental battle. His instincts and rationality were fighting fiercely. He might lose control of himself at any moment. "I can't guarantee that I won't do something to you. Either find a stick and knock me out or find a rope and tie me up."
"You won't." Xie Bingxia was quite sure.
"Hehe. I'm not a gentleman. Of course, I'll... " Qin Feng stopped halfway through his sentence. He turned his head away. The green light illuminated half of his face. Big beads of sweat were clearly visible even in the dark environment.
To be honest, Qin Feng was almost at his limit.
"My phone is not on me. Let me think if there's any other way to call for help." Xie Bingxia found a chair and was going to try the ventilation duct above her head.
"Don't look anymore! It's more reliable to tie me up!" Qin Feng almost pleaded.
"If you can't hold it anymore, why don't you go over there and take care of it yourself?" Xie Bingxia said casually. She had just tried the ventilation duct, but it seemed to be nailed shut. There was no way out.
She got off the chair disappointedly. Before she could stand still, Qin Feng suddenly pounced on her. She was hugged by his strong body. His overly high body temperature came through the fabric. Drop by drop, his sweat fell on Xie Bingxia's shoulder, soaking her clothes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Qin Feng apologized repeatedly. It seemed that he couldn't say anything else but apologize. His mind was blank, with only one thought left.
The drug was much more powerful than Xie Bingxia had expected. It not only took away Qin Feng's rationality but also his ability to move. Qin Feng's legs were weak. He hung on Xie Bingxia's body, trembling all over. This couldn't go on. They had to deal with it quickly. But what could she do?
Xie Bingxia looked down at her right hand. Could it be that she had to...
At this moment, it was Xie Bingxia who was in a mental battle. Just as she was hesitating, the incandescent lamp above their heads flickered twice and then lit up. Immediately afterwards, there was a beeping sound at the door. It was the sound of the electronic lock being unlocked.
Gu Bei was the first one to kick the door open and rush in. He shouted anxiously, "Bingxia, are you okay?!" Xie Bingxia was holding Qin Feng with her left hand. Qin Feng was completely pressing on her, and their movements were extremely intimate. What was even worse was that his head was buried in Xie Bingxia's neck, looking as if they were doing something improper!
Gu Bei's eyes immediately turned blood - red. He rushed forward, grabbed the half - conscious Qin Feng and punched him hard, making him see stars. Before Qin Feng could get up, Gu Bei directly grabbed his collar and pressed him to the ground, raising his fist.
"Die!"
