Zuko was expressionless as he turned his face to look at the thugs and asked, “You can film, but my face will be
exposed. Are you going to pay me or what?”
“What did you say?” The leader frowned. “Ha, so you’re not stupid!”
“You’ll have to buy a ticket to watch the movie,” said Zuko.
“Do it now, I’m warning you! Or I’ll cripple you and then throw you onto her. My job will be done!” snarled the
leader.
Ignoring the man’s presence, Zuko fixed his gaze directly on him. After a moment, a chuckle escaped his lips.
His chuckle sent shivers down their spines. As they prepared to teach him a lesson, he swiftly dodged their attack
with remarkable agility. With a quick turn, he delivered a powerful kick to the person behind him, precisely targeting
a vital point.
“Ah!” The leader rolled on the ground in pain. When the rest saw that, they dared not go forward and looked at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZuko nervously.
Zuko fought with the thugs in the small room.
Meanwhile, Lina, hearing the chaos and commotion around her, struggled to regain consciousness on the bed. She
tried to get up, but the burning desire in her body was getting out of control…
As the fight gradually died down, leaving a scene of scattered people on the floor, Zuko’s cold voice echoed. “Get
out.”
The thugs stumbled out clumsily, leaving their phones behind. Zuko picked up the devices and tossed them out the
window. As he brushed off the dirt from his clothes, he suddenly remembered Lina lying on the bed and
approached her slowly.
The girl’s cheeks turned rosy, her breath quickening. Her eyes were closed, adorned with thick, curled lashes that
added to her beauty. A cute tear mole adorned the corner of her left eye.
Zuko’s gaze drifted into the distance for a moment before he snapped back to reality. He quickly surmised that
Violet must have drugged her.
Though he initially didn’t want to get involved, he approached nonetheless. After a brief moment of hesitation, he
gently patted her face, his touch soft and reassuring.
“Wake up, miss,” he said.
Lina was getting more and more uncomfortable as she felt someone touching her. Her body was burning, and the
hand that was touching her was the only cold thing.
She grabbed the cold hand as if she was hanging onto dear life.
Zuko was shocked. He quickly grabbed her wrist as he watched her shoving his hand underneath her clothes.
“I’m hot… I’m so hot…” muttered Lina.
Zuko pursed his lips and frowned.
“I don’t feel well…” The girl’s voice was slightly hoarse. It was lazy like a kitten.
Lina’s allure shone in the dimly lit room. Zuko took a deep breath and, feeling her grasp, gently scooped her up, her

In her dazed state, she felt as if she were floating, held securely in his arms.
Carrying her effortlessly, Zuko left the hotel, fading into the night.
…
As Lina regained consciousness, the strong scent of disinfectant filled her nostrils, triggering a wave of fear that
had haunted her since childhood. She knew that the smell was associated with injections and medicine, causing her
heart to tighten with anxiety.
Struggling to open her eyes, she was greeted by the sterile white surroundings of the ward. Her limbs felt heavy,
and her head throbbed with discomfort, leaving her feeling utterly miserable.
“You can go home after the drip. Remember to drink more water.”
Lina was stunned and looked toward the source of the voice. She then saw the nurses’ disdainful eyes.
“Young people nowadays sure are creative!” The nurses discussed this while walking away after checking the
patients. “Aren’t they scared of taking such a drug?”
“Hey, it’s fun for them. What do you know?”
“Fun… Ha! She’s been admitted to the hospital now. How fun is that?”
