Chapter 134 Spanking the Witch

"Damn it! That idiot!"

Fei Ying wanted to shout something to attract Lin Xiuyi's attention outside.

But Vermouth had already taped her mouth shut before she left.

Left with no other option, Eri Kisaki could only struggle desperately, trying to break free of the ropes binding her.

But Vermouth had anticipated this; despite Eri's struggles, the rope remained firmly in place.

Instead, it made her sweat profusely all over her body.

Stupid!

idiot!

fool!

Eri cursed inwardly, but then, the situation next door, as heard through her earpiece, changed again.

……

"What exactly happened?" Lin Xiuyi asked, his arm around the female lawyer, glancing into the room. "Where's the person who kidnapped you?"

"Someone impersonating you tricked me out of the law firm and brought me here."

Eri Kisaki nestled in Lin Xiuyi's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Later, that person left, and I don't know where she went."

"she?"

Lin Xiuyi lowered his head and looked at the female lawyer in his arms.

"How do you know she's a woman? If she can impersonate me, she's usually a man, right?"

"That's what she said herself," Eri explained. "She said she was abandoned by you, so she kidnapped me to get revenge on you."

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Xiuyi nodded knowingly, then released Fei Yingli and stepped into room 302.

"You???" Eri Kisaki's face was full of surprise. "Shuichi, let's get out of here quickly, in case they come back..."

"No, we'll wait for her to come back here."

Lin Xiuyi found a chair, sat down, and chuckled.

"Since she says she's going to get revenge on me, then I'll wait here for her to come back and see how she does it."

Eri stared blankly at Hideaki, her initial surprise gradually turning into a smile.

"When did you find out?" she asked suspiciously. "Where did I give myself away?"

"I knew you were a fake the moment I saw your first reaction," Lin Xiuyi explained with a laugh. "Eri is very proud, and this time, someone impersonated me to trick her into coming here."

"Given her personality, she must have been furious when she discovered the truth and realized she had been deceived."

"Even if she was really scared, her first reaction when she saw me would never be like that of an ordinary woman, who would just shrink into my arms and cry."

"I think her first reaction upon seeing me was to put on a brave face and pretend she didn't care."

"Doing it this way is in line with her strong-willed personality."

……

In room 301, Eri Kisaki listened to the voice coming through her earpiece, stunned for a long while, before muttering a curse under her breath.

"Idiot, who's pretending! I'm clearly not afraid at all..."

She started laughing out loud halfway through her sentence.

Lin Xiuyi recognized the fake "Eri Kisaki" as soon as they met.

Now, she has undoubtedly won the bet with Vermouth.

Moreover, from the words Lin Xiuyi said, Eri Kisaki clearly understood that Lin Xiuyi also understood and cared about her very much.

If he didn't care about her at all, Lin Xiuyi wouldn't have risked appearing here now, and he wouldn't have guessed her reaction so accurately.

Knowing that Lin Xiuyi did not return to Japan solely for their daughter Xiaolan, as Vermouth claimed, is a misconception.

The female lawyer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fool!"

In the dark room, Eri cursed under her breath again, but this time it was different from her previous annoyance.

The female lawyer blushed slightly, her face full of satisfaction, and even her scolding voice was full of pride.

……

In room 302 next door, after answering "Eri Kisaki's" question, Lin Xiuyi frowned and said in a deep voice,

"Stop playing around, where are the Eri people?"

"Stop playing?"

Eri Kisaki chuckled, her expression gradually darkening.

"Who's playing with you?"

As she spoke, she reached out and ripped off the disguise on her face, revealing a face that made Lin Xiu's eyes widen in shock.

Underneath the disguise mask of "Eri Kisaki" was actually the face of Akemi Miyano!

The beautiful woman with black hair walked gracefully to Lin Xiuyi's side.

"Mr. Lin, I never said this was a game!"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Lin Xiuyi sighed helplessly.

Akemi Miyano walked up behind Hideaki Hayashi, wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned down, and whispered in his ear, "What do you want to ask?"

"What do I want? Doesn't Mr. Lin know?"

"You mean the billion yen? Didn't I already promise to give it to you?" Lin Xiuyi replied with a strange expression.

That wretched woman from the Miyano family, she really did ask this guy for money!

Miyano Akemi gritted her teeth inwardly. She glanced at Hayashi Shuichi, who remained unmoved by the 1 billion yen, and her anger flared even more.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, the 1 billion yen figure only refers to the daytime amount."

Akemi Miyano straightened up and slowly paced around Shuichi Hayashi as she spoke in a cold voice.

"I've changed my mind. If you want that lawyer, Fei, to be safe, you'll have to give me at least 10 billion yen!"

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee that Attorney Fei's safety..."

Before Miyano Akemi could finish her threatening words, she felt a tightness around her waist, and the world spun before her eyes. When she came to her senses, she found herself pulled into Lin Xiuyi's arms.

"Mr. Lin, aren't you worried at all about the safety of that lawyer, Fei?" Miyano Akemi threatened sharply.

"Is Eri safe?"

Lin Xiu gave a strange smile, then suddenly flipped the woman in his arms over so that her back was facing up, and then raised his arm and slapped her upturned buttocks hard.

"Snapped!"

"you!"

Akemi Miyano was stunned by the blow; this wasn't what she had planned.

No, it shouldn't be like that. After discovering Miyano Akemi's true colors, this guy immediately regretted being seduced by her during the day.

Then, after threatening him a few more times, he would regret it deeply. Once he remembered this profound lesson, he would release Eri Kisaki.

How did it suddenly become her who got beaten up?

And it was that same spot that was hit?

Even when she was a child, her father never hit her like this!

This was the first time in Vermouth's decades-long life that she had suffered such humiliation!

"Clap clap clap..."

The sound of slapping wasn't just heard in room 302; it was also clearly heard by Eri Kisaki in room 301 next door.

"What is Shuichi doing?"

Eri Kisaki stomped her foot angrily in her chair, "Hurry up and deal with that woman and come save her!"

What are you dawdling over there for?

And this voice... something just doesn't feel right.
