My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Tang Ning sat up, threw her arms around Ye Xiong, and sobbed uncontrollably, her escape from death causing her to completely break down.

Ye Xiong sighed, tried to push her away, but to no avail.

Forcefully shoving her, she clung back to him, and only then did Ye Xiong notice her flushed face and dazed eyes.

He realized at once she had been drugged, and anger surged within him.

Ye Xiong went over to the fridge, took out two bottles of Mineral Water, unscrewed the caps, and chugged, drinking almost half a bottle in one go. Then he poured some of the cool water on her face to wash it.

Luckily, Tang Ning hadn’t drunk much of the milk, and before long, she was awake enough to control herself.

“Who gave you the drug?” Ye Xiong asked.

“The milk was given to me by Ma Rong, she’s my classmate,” Tang Ning weakly replied.

“Xiao Qiao, help her straighten out her clothes. I’ll wait outside,” Ye Xiong said, then left.

Once he was gone, Tang Ning couldn’t help asking, “Didn’t he leave? Why did he come back?”

“You think he could really leave cold-heartedly? He was just annoyed you wouldn’t listen, brooded outside for a while, and out of concern for you, he came back. Thankfully he did. Otherwise, you would have truly been doomed,” Yang Xiaoqiao said.

“Cousin-in-law must really hate me,” Tang Ning said in a low voice.

“I don’t think he’s angry with you, but he’s furious that you let yourself down,” Yang Xiaoqiao replied.

As they were talking, a woman’s scream suddenly echoed from the hall.

The two women hurried out only to see Ye Xiong forcing the milk that Tang Ning had been drinking down Ma Rong’s throat.

Pitiful Ma Rong, thinking she was about to make a big score since Li Letian had promised her a sum of money for getting Tang Ning, had no idea that the moment she walked out, she would be seized by a man forcing milk down her throat.

“You like to harm people with drugs, so now taste its effect on you,” Ye Xiong said after drenching Ma Rong’s mouth with the milk, then he pushed her to the ground.

“Save me, please, take me to the hospital,” Ma Rong pleaded. She knew the potency of the drug and began to yell desperately.

Several men rushed to act the heroes, but Ye Xiong knocked one down with a punch, deterring any others from approaching.

Having witnessed Ye Xiong’s ferocity, everyone kept their distance.

The drug’s effects kicked in quickly, Ma Rong’s face flushing and her breathing becoming rapid.

She seemed to lose all reason, frantically tearing at her clothes, then lunged at the men around her like a madwoman.

The scene was too horrendous to behold.

…

Ye Xiong took Tang Ning and Yang Xiaoqiao back to the car.

Since she had drunk a lot of water and washed her face, the flush on Tang Ning’s face had subsided a lot, but the effects of the drug still lingered in her body.

“Drink more water and bear with it, it’ll pass soon,” Ye Xiong said.

Tang Ning turned her face away, tears blurring her eyes.

Ye Xiong then dropped both women off at the school.

“Xiao Qiao, thank you. If it weren’t for your timely notification, I dread to think of what might have happened to Tang Ning,” Ye Xiong said.

“It was nothing, just a way to thank you for saving me a few times,” Yang Xiaoqiao said.

Just as Tang Ning was about to get out of the car, Ye Xiong said, “You can’t stay at school tonight, what if something happens?”

Tang Ning dared not object and reluctantly sat back down.

After leaving the school, Ye Xiong drove in the direction of home.

Throughout the journey, Tang Ning was silent. No explanations, no apologies, no emotions, like a girl suffering from depression.

Ye Xiong hadn’t expected her to have such a stubborn side. He thought she was heartless.

“Move back home tomorrow, you can’t stay at school. Xiao Baibai has been off her food, probably because you weren’t there.”

Ye Xiong didn’t want to say he was afraid she would cause trouble, as speaking about it might provoke her temper again.

“Don’t tell my cousin about what happened tonight, I don’t want her to worry,” Tang Ning finally spoke up.

“Okay, but this can’t happen again in the future.”

Meanwhile, Li Tianle, now crippled, was found and taken to the hospital.

In the hospital, when Li Tianle woke up, he screamed frantically.

As a man, losing the most important thing is like becoming a cripple.

“Dad, you must take revenge for me; you must seek justice for me,” Li Letian cried out.

Li Quan was extremely angry.

As a leader in Huai River City, though his power wasn’t absolute, he was one of the top figures in Jiangnan City. He never imagined his son would be crippled, filling him with rage.

He soon discovered the person who had disabled his son was a man named Ye Xiong, who seemed to know martial arts.

What’s the use of knowing martial arts these days? No matter how well you can fight, can you stop a bullet?

Li Quan immediately called Luo Guozhong.

Both worked in Jiangnan, and although they belonged to different departments, they had a good relationship.

When Luo Guozhong understood the situation, he asked, “The man you’re talking about, is he about 1.8 meters tall, fairly well-built, knows martial arts, and goes by the name Ye Xiong?”

“Are you saying you can’t touch him either?” Li Quan asked in shock.

“I’d advise you to drop the idea. This man, you can’t afford to mess with.”

“My son has been turned into this, and you won’t help, yet you tell me I can’t afford to mess with him? I refuse to believe he’s invincible. Consider our relationship over,” Li Quan spat out and hung up fiercely.

What’s the use of a deputy director? I’ll call the director himself.

Li Quan called the director, Huang Weifu, explaining the situation.

“Mayor Li, I advise you to act as if nothing has happened. You can’t afford to provoke this man,” Huang Weifu said earnestly.

If Li Quan had any doubts about what Deputy Director Luo Guozhong had said, Director Huang Weifu’s words made him reconsider seriously.

Suppressing his shock, Li Quan asked unwillingly, “Director Huang, who exactly is this guy that you all fear him so much?”

“You can say fear or respect. I won’t say much, just one thing,” Huang Weifu paused, then continued, “Deputy Director Luo’s daughter, Luo Weiwei, arrested Ye Xiong once. Do you know who was the first person to call me demanding his release?”

“Who?”

“The head of the provincial department…”

Li Quan slumped onto the couch, realizing this vengeance was impossible to seek.
