Chapter 91: 091 Sleeping Pills In A Desperate Situation
Wang Heng did not directly enter the Hua Qin Hotel. Instead, he passed by the doorway and sat down on a bench on the street side not far away.
The hamster poked its head out from his pocket, squatted on his leg, raised its little head and asked: “Have you figured out what to do?”
“It’s a bit tricky…” Wang Heng couldn’t help but scratch his head. “If I call the police, I have no evidence at all. If I break in, I’m not a special forces soldier. Even if I know which room he’s in, it’s still hard to handle.”
Hamster: “Use that intelligent little brain of yours and think carefully?”
Wang Heng had a sudden inspiration: “Now that you mention it, I actually thought of something—you can come in handy!”
Hamster: “?”
Wang Heng: “I’ll go buy sleeping pills. You sneak into Liu Rong’s room, administer medicine to him, and open the door. I’ll pretend to walk in by accident, spot the fugitive on the wanted notice, and report him on the spot. What do you think of this script?”
The hamster pointed at itself: “You mean, the most important infiltration and administering medicine are all left to me? But I’m just support.”
Wang Heng said seriously: “Exactly, so the final kill is left to me. You just need to control the enemy.”
Hamster: “Don’t you think this support’s mission is a bit too heavy?”
Wang Heng: “No.”
Hamster: “……Your shameless look really has my style from back in the day.”
“Thanks for the compliment.” After saying that, Wang Heng stood up and walked toward a nearby residential community. There were usually pharmacies near residential communities.

Ye Kang stood in his office, gazing at the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window, utterly dejected and speechless.
As a media tycoon who started from scratch, a top player in Lin City’s business district, he never imagined he would one day fall into such a desperate situation.
Emerging internet giants had plunged his main business into trouble. And at the most critical moment, the bank he had previously cooperated happily with suddenly called in the loan. Of course, this wasn’t the end of the road yet—he had plenty of savings. He had placed over a hundred million in funds with his old friend Liu Rong.
However, five days ago, when he tried to ask Liu Rong for the money, Liu Rong fled overnight.
Ye Kang sensed something was wrong and quickly called the police to freeze this “old friend”‘s account. But the police told him that the so-called repayment account only had tens of thousands.
The money had all been taken by Liu Rong.
Ye Kang was not the only one affected—several local merchants in Lin City had also lent money to Liu Rong. The problem was that Ye Kang was the one with the tightest funds among them. And his dire straits had become known to the others.
Once the news spread, his former partners who used to chat and laugh together all tightened their purse strings. In just a few short days, Ye Kang was shocked to find that his capital chain had completely broken.
And those major creditors reacted swiftly, teaming up to sue him in court!
What was a desperate situation? This was it.
Ye Kang held his mobile phone and dialed a number with trembling fingers.
Moments later, his ex-wife picked up: “Hello, what is it?”
Ye Kang swallowed hard and said with difficulty: “You always have the latest information, so you definitely know my situation… It’s fine if you won’t help me, but Xiao Xun isn’t an adult yet. Can you take care of her?”
His ex-wife sneered: “She’s not my biological daughter. Why should I help you take care of her?”
“But her real mother died long ago!” Ye Kang shouted irritably, then immediately softened his tone and pleaded, “You used to get along well with her…”
“That was then, this is now. I have a meeting to attend. Don’t bother me.”
With that, his ex-wife decisively hung up.
Ye Kang gripped his mobile phone tightly and stayed silent for a long time.
His hand gripped harder and harder, making the phone creak, his knuckles turning white.
He really wanted to throw the phone straight out from the 28th-floor window, but then he thought, it was a prosperous urban area outside—what if it hit a passerby?
So he wanted to laugh.
He had already resolved to kill himself, yet he was still worrying about a passerby’s safety. Maybe that was the reason for his failure? If it were those wolf-like competitors, before dying they’d definitely want to drag a few more down with them…
Lost in wild thoughts, Ye Kang put down the phone and picked up the medicine bottle.
Inside the bottle were dozens of sleeping pills, more than enough to ensure he never woke up again.
Now, it was time for the final step.
Ye Kang picked up the water cup.
But at that moment, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
Ye Kang was stunned but ignored it. He had locked the door long ago—no matter how long they knocked, he wouldn’t open it.
However, the next moment, the door was unlocked with a key.
The one who opened the door and came in was a girl wearing a private middle school’s JK dress school uniform. She had a slender figure and a beautiful but pale face. Her hair was originally long straight black, but at the back of her head was a fiery orange ponytail, beautiful and striking.
“What’s that in your hand!” The girl noticed the medicine bottle in her father’s hand and screamed as she rushed over, snatching it away.
Ye Kang couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. It seemed his plan had failed again.
The sense of frustration over these five days was more than he had experienced in the previous decades of his life.
And his daughter, the young girl named Ye Xun, suddenly slammed the table and angrily said: “You want to end it all? Have you thought about what happens to me!”
A bitter smile still hung on Ye Kang’s face: “If I die, no one will come after you for debts. They’ll take everything I have, but the car in your name no one can touch. Sell the car, and you can hold out for a long time—at least until you graduate from university and find a job to support yourself…”
Ye Xun interrupted: “How can you just give up like this? The court hasn’t even started the trial, the company hasn’t dissolved, and that Liu Rong hasn’t been caught yet!”
Ye Kang: “It’s impossible to catch him in such a short time.”
Ye Xun: “Who told you he can’t be caught? I just got information from a classmate—Liu Rong went to Rongdu, and the police there are prepared, just waiting for him to show up!”
Ye Kang looked up at his anxious daughter and suddenly felt gratified. He had already given up hope, but his daughter hadn’t? No matter the final outcome, at least this spirit was good. In her future life, she probably wouldn’t fare too badly, right?
But the next second, the young girl’s facade of strength crumbled.
Ye Xun collapsed on the table and burst into loud sobs.
“Wahhh… If you’re not even afraid of dying, what are you afraid of debts for…”
The man who had already planned to end his life saw his daughter crying hysterically right in front of him, and that feeling of frustration and irritation was stronger than words could describe.
But suddenly, his mobile phone rang again.
Ye Kang picked up the phone and glanced—it was the police officer who had been in contact with him before.
As soon as he answered, he heard the officer say: “Hello, Mr. Ye? We just received a tip from Rongdu—someone seems to have spotted Liu Rong in a small inn…”
