Chapter 428: County Magistrate Tang is a closet pervert!

Tang Ye heard the knocking and went to open the door; Wan Ming and Er Zi rushed in.

"County Magistrate Tang, are you alright?"

"I'm fine! You two hurry and check on her; she's made herself quite uncomfortable!"

Wan Ming walked over to Huang Ling and observed her carefully—she had lost consciousness and was soaked through, as if she had been fished out of water.

Er Zi secretly marveled at Huang Ling's outstanding beauty, while simultaneously marveling at Tang Ye's self-control.

It was just as Wan Ming had evaluated Tang Ye: "County Magistrate Tang is a man who has transcended low-level interests!"

Wan Ming picked up the remaining steak, brought it to his nose to sniff, and sighed, "They were dead set on taking you down! The dose was too strong; I reckon even an elephant would be dazed after eating this. Maybe we should send her to the hospital!"

After taking aphrodisiacs, people usually still have their reason, but desire overwhelms it.

If a man and woman are alone together, it is very easy to lose control under the influence of the drug and do things they wouldn't normally dare to do.

At this moment, Huang Ling's body was in extreme discomfort, as if countless insects were tearing at her skin; she was so itchy she wanted to scratch it with her hands.

Only when the drug took effect did she realize her plan had been seen through by Tang Ye.

He had actually swapped the steaks when she wasn't paying attention.

Huang Ling had originally marked the steak to ensure the portion she ate was the one without the drug.

But she hadn't expected that when Tang Ye swapped them, he not only changed their positions but also cut and reshaped both steaks.

Even the placement of the broccoli and roasted tomatoes, and the drizzling pattern of the black pepper sauce, had been swapped, completely changing their appearance, which made her let down her guard.

Originally, she had planned to go with the flow after eating the aphrodisiac and act more proactive, but she hadn't expected Tang Ye to not buy it at all and even call over two men.

At this moment, she was mentally collapsing and wished she could dig a hole on the spot to bury herself; in her desperation, she could only feign unconsciousness and let them take her to the hospital.

After arriving at the hospital, the doctor induced vomiting and administered a sedative to Huang Ling, and her symptoms gradually eased.

Once Wan Ming left, Tang Ye looked at Huang Ling, who still had her eyes closed, and said softly, "There's only the two of us in the room now; you can open your eyes."

Huang Ling's lips moved slightly, and tears slid down the corners of her eyes.

She slowly opened her eyes and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this."

Many thoughts flooded Huang Ling's mind.

How would Tang Ye treat her?

She had drugged the food; although it wasn't poison, it definitely violated the law!

Tang Ye handed her a tissue: "Stop crying, things aren't as bad as you think. Although your motives were impure, you didn't cause me any harm. I know you were directed by someone; your boss is Huang Bingwen, right?"

Huang Ling widened her eyes in disbelief: "Yes, you knew I was intentionally approaching you all along?"

Tang Ye nodded: "You aren't the first woman to approach me with a motive, and you won't be the last. I had someone investigate your background—your father suffers from uremia and needs medical expenses, which is why you were forced to agree to Huang Bingwen's instigation."

Huang Ling said through tears: "I know this behavior is immoral, but I was truly at my wit's end. My dad needs a huge sum of money every day. To cure it completely, he must have a kidney transplant."

Tang Ye said in a deep voice: "For the sake of your filial piety, I won't make things difficult for you. Besides, you can tell Huang Bingwen that the mission has been completed."

Huang Ling was surprised: "Will he believe it?"

"I had people observe, and there was no one tailing us nearby; the process of sending you to the hospital was also very low-key, so it won't arouse suspicion. This way, you can also get the money he promised. However, you will need to cooperate with me on some things later. You should know better than I do what kind of person Huang Bingwen is. If you remain entangled with him, you will only drive yourself into a dead end. If you cooperate with me now, there will be a glimmer of hope."

Huang Ling bit her lip, thinking of her father's surgery fees and not wanting to be sent to prison herself, and finally nodded through her tears.

The next morning, after arriving at work, Huang Ling went straight to Huang Bingwen's office.

Huang Bingwen closed the door and asked with a wicked smile: "How was it, did you succeed?"

Huang Ling nodded and handed over a digital camera.

Huang Bingwen flipped through the photos!

Tang Ye was lying on the bed, shirtless, sleeping very soundly;

The next photo was a selfie of Huang Ling, her hair disheveled, her face flushed, making a peace sign.

"You did a good job on this. Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you; I will arrange to continue your father's treatment fees immediately."

Huang Ling pressed: "What about my father's surgery fees?"

Huang Bingwen smiled cunningly: "Hasn't a suitable kidney source been found yet? Once the surgery can be done, I will naturally take care of it. But before that, you must be obedient."

As he spoke, he patted the back of Huang Ling's hand, greed flashing in his eyes.

Huang Ling suddenly realized: Huang Bingwen's so-called promise of surgery fees was nothing but a pipe dream.

He gave just enough money every month to keep her father alive, but would never cure him completely, just to control her forever.

Seeing his true colors clearly, she felt no more guilt about betraying Huang Bingwen.

She took a deep breath: "Thank you, Boss Huang, I will do as you say."

Huang Bingwen said triumphantly: "Call Tang Ye now and say you want to invite him to dinner tonight to introduce him to a boss."

Huang Ling feigned surprise: "Will he agree?"

Huang Bingwen sneered: "He will agree! Since he climbed into your bed, he knows he must pay a price!"

Huang Ling couldn't help but shudder—Huang Bingwen was too terrifying, and at the same time, she felt a sense of admiration for Tang Ye.

If he hadn't been smart enough yesterday, he would likely have already become Huang Bingwen's puppet.

Huang Ling dialed the number in front of Huang Bingwen, and Tang Ye answered quickly: "Darling, is something the matter?"

Hearing the word "darling," Huang Ling got goosebumps all over.

Tang Ye said it so naturally that she almost believed it herself!

And a satisfied smile appeared on Huang Bingwen's face as he cast an encouraging look at her.

She steadied herself and said softly: "Do you have time tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner."

Tang Ye laughed and teased: "Didn't we eat last night? You were 'delicious'!"

Huang Ling secretly marveled at how realistic Tang Ye's acting was, and said: "Actually, my boss wants to see you."

"Boss?" Tang Ye's tone instantly became grave, "What boss?"

"My boss is very good to me and has always taken care of me. If you don't want to, then forget it..." Huang Ling feigned disappointment.

"Fine, I promise you," Tang Ye sighed, "Go to work properly, see you after work."

Hanging up the phone, Huang Bingwen's face was full of smugness: "I didn't expect County Magistrate Tang to be so gentle with you; you must seize the opportunity. He is the youngest Deputy Division Level Official in Hanzhou. Being his woman will surely change your destiny. Once you taste enough sweetness, you will thank me for sending you to his bed."

Huang Ling hurriedly lowered her head.

Feeling guilty, she dared not look Huang Bingwen in the eye.

But in Huang Bingwen's view, this was precisely a display of "shyness."

He secretly marveled: County Magistrate Gao really has a thorough understanding of human nature.

Men fall into two categories: one is the overtly flirtatious type, who like those who are proactive, sexy, and easy to get into bed.

Then there is the repressed type, who like someone like Huang Ling, who is pure and innocent, and still carries a sense of naivety.

Tang Ye and he are the same type of person; both belong to the latter!
