Chapter 154: Discarding a Sock Puppet Account

Lu Cheng started. “Already arrived?”
He glanced at the surroundings and his gaze ultimately landed at the entrance. “Did the divine doctor enter already? We should hurry and enter then!”
After speaking, he walked toward Shen Ruojing and lowered his voice. “I know that you want to save Sister Fang so you can change the opinions the shareholders have of you. Actually, you don’t have to do this. To tell you honestly, Bro Chen doesn’t give a damn about what those shareholders think. You don’t have to compare yourself to Sister Fang.”
Shen Ruojing. “…”
As he spoke, Ye Lu was already preparing to press the bell, but before she could do so, the gate swung open.
The butler walked out. He looked at them and his gaze eventually landed on Shen Ruojing. “Everyone, please enter.”
Actually, when they were at the entrance, the guard already sent someone to inform Dugu Xiao. After hearing Shen Ruojing was here and Chu Cichen was actually the one who had personally sent her here, Dugu Xiao’s first thought was that Chu Cichen must have lowered his head and was apologizing!
Hence, he directly got the butler to invite them in.
Shen Ruojing took the lead.
Dugu Xiao’s guards and butler directly surrounded them. Their attitudes were arrogant. It was clear that they were escorting them like prisoners.
After entering, Shen Ruojing surveyed the villa.
Dugu Xiao’s style was still the same as a few years ago. He liked opulent items. Although the villa wasn’t that big, the gardens and lakes inside were fully decorated. The servants here all lowered their heads and moved around quickly, doing their work. One could tell that the management here was very strict.
And as she took two more steps forward, she suddenly heard the sound of an exclamation.
After that, a female wearing a red dress and gold mask was dragged out of a room by two guards.
The female cried, “Mr. Dugu, I was wrong, I was wrong…Please give me one more chance…”
“Bang!” The female was harshly tossed onto the ground by the guards. After that, one of them removed her mask, while the other guard tore her dress down. Luckily, the girl was wearing thermal wear because the weather was cold.
After that, the two guards took out whips and started whipping her body!
Shen Ruojing. “!!!”
She halted her slow walk and frowned.
She had thought that Dugu Xiao was only perverse to the extent that he got people to imitate her. However, he hadn’t expected him to be so brutal.
Was whipping these girls equal to whipping her?
Ye Lu who was at the side was also badly angered. She walked to Shen Ruojing’s side and spoke in a low voice, “This Dugu Xiao is simply too much. He was clearly the one who let you down, but he made things seem as though you are the one who let him down…”
When the butler saw them pausing their steps, he spoke with disdain, “Everyone, please do not meddle. Miss Shen best be more obedient or if the master is offended, your ending will be the same as hers!”
The butler then instructed, “Enough with the whipping. Toss her back inside. It isn’t easy for me to arrange for the divine doctor’s visit. I don’t want the divine doctor to feel that we are a bunch of hooligans when he comes later.”
“Yes.”
The others dragged the woman away.
The butler then added, “Prepare a few more types of beverages for the divine doctor. He would definitely have something he likes then.”
“Yes.”
“In addition, have you prepared the food? After the divine doctor is here, we have to try our best to make him stay for dinner.”
They had already tortured Fang Panxia and eventually learned that the calming pill was concocted by the divine doctor.
Although the calming pill couldn’t treat the root, it did alleviate the headaches. Hence, the butler and Leng Ling both felt that the divine doctor would surely have a better solution to cure Dugu Xiao’s headache.
When the butler recalled how he had cancelled the previous appointment, he couldn’t help but sweat. He impatiently looked at Shen Ruojing and the others. “You guys should speak quickly with my master later. I don’t have too much time as I have to welcome the divine doctor.”
He then brought them inside.
After entering, the scene was one of chaos. There was a group of females in red dresses and gold masks chatting and arguing noisily. Just their voices alone would cause one to feel a headache.
At this moment, Shen Ruojing saw a familiar figure.
If one wore the gold mask for too long, there would be some lines on their face. Hence, all the women would remove the mask after a period to allow their faces to relax.
She saw Yan Zijing standing amidst a few women who removed their masks.
The woman stood not far away. Her gold mask was in her hand, and she was currently staring at Shen Ruojing with rage.
Yan Zijing walked over and coldly laughed. “Mr. Chu finally couldn’t withstand the pressure and sent you here? Hahaha, Shen Ruojing, to think that you will also have such a day. However, don’t worry. After you join us, I will definitely take good care of you to take revenge for my brother!”
Shen Ruojing found this woman ridiculous. “Your brother wasn’t killed by me.”
“If there was no you, Bai Shanshan wouldn’t betray us and Chu Cimo wouldn’t have discovered the truth. My brother wouldn’t have died either! Chu Cimo is too sinister. I will definitely make him pay the price! All of you have to die and accompany my brother in death!”
“Miss Yan, if you have a private grudge against Miss Shen, you can talk about it after she stays here. Now, please go back to the room or the divine doctor might see you.”
The butler walked over and warned coldly.
Yan Zijing cast another hate-filled glance at Shen Ruojing before retreating two steps and opening up a path.
The group of them then continued walking in.
Lu Cheng’s brows were tightly creased. “Shen Ruojing, are you afraid?”
Shen Ruojing ignored him, but the man continued mumbling, “So…later on it’s best that you don’t try to act tough. Just let me do my thing.”
After saying that, he looked at Ye Lu who was beside them. (Hmm, Ye Lu is really beautiful. I didn’t expect that she would be willing to enter this dangerous place for my sake. Actually, I’ve been considering whether or not I should agree to her pursuit of me…)
A few moments later, they entered the guest-meeting room Dugu Xiao was in.
Once they entered, they could see Fang Panxia being tied up and tossed into a corner. Her face was filled with bruises, and her clothes were extremely dirty. Her entire person was a sorry sight.
Dugu Xiao sat on the sofa and his malevolent eyes were filled with fierceness. His baleful aura made him seem like a monster.
Leng Ling coldly stood beside him. She was expressionless.
In fact, after they entered the room, Leng Ling stared at Shen Ruojing directly.
Dugu Xiao said that this woman was the person who resembled 518 the most out of all the people he had met.
But she was not her!
Leng Ling had no good feelings toward these people who impersonated 518.
She then surveyed Shen Ruojing.
Dugu Xiao’s eyes were also staring fixedly at her. “Haha. Chu Cichen was finally willing to send you here in exchange for Doctor Fang?”
He then instructed the butler, “Arrange a place for Miss Shen to stay. In addition, get her a change of clothes.”
The butler nodded. “Yes.”
As he said that, he walked over and stopped before Shen Ruojing.
Shen Ruojing didn’t move. The butler warned, “Miss Shen, you have to be obedient since you entered this place. You best come with me. If you delay the divine doctor’s treatment, my master will not spare you.”
Shen Ruojing lifted her eyelids. “I didn’t say I came here to stay.”
As these words rang out, the butler’s steps halted.
Even Dugu Xiao started.
After that, he began laughing wantonly. “You are not staying? Why did you come then? Don’t tell me you want to have a good chat with me to bring her away?”
After saying that, his expression abruptly changed. “Since you came in, you won’t be able to leave easily!”
Lu Cheng at the side stared at the surroundings in panic. He frowned and asked Ye Lu, “Where’s the divine doctor? I thought you said that the divine doctor is already here?”
Ye Lu ignored him. She directly took a step forward as she looked straight at the butler. “Aren’t you guys the ones who begged us to come? What’s wrong? Is this how you treat your guests?”
The butler. “??”
Her voice was the voice of the divine doctor’s assistant on the phone!
It also meant that…
The butler was astonished. “The divine doctor is here? Where?”
Under everyone’s astonished gaze, Ye Lu pointed at Shen Ruojing. “The divine doctor is her!”
