Chapter 482 He can't hold on much longer
Seeing this, Ma Yinyin quickly replied, "Okay, Dad, I understand."

She came to Lin Manqing's side and said, "Mom, let me take you back to your room to rest."

"Yinyin, you've already forgotten what I just told you?" Luo Shuxian said unhappily. "It's still early, the nightlife has only just begun, what are we going back to our room for?"

Lin Manqing's cheeks flushed even more, and with the alcohol taking effect, she slurred her words, "Yes, yes! It's still early! I'm not going back to my room."

Ma Yinyin looked at Ma Jingwen with difficulty, "Dad, Mom doesn't want to go back yet."

"Manqing." Ma Jingwen frowned, his tone grave. "Listen to me, go back to your room with Yinyin."

"Jingwen, can't you be a less disruptive husband and father?" Luo Shuxian said disdainfully. "It's only this late, and you're already telling them to go to sleep? That's a bit much."

"Jing, Jingwen, let's play a little longer." Lin Manqing looked at him with pleading eyes.

A deep sense of powerlessness suddenly welled up in Ma Jingwen's heart.

He felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, and could only keep biting his tongue and pinching his thigh, trying to keep himself awake with the pain.

“Manqing.” Ma Jingwen held his wife’s hand, his expression serious. “I can listen to you at other times, but this time you must listen to me.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Shuxian's expression changed slightly, and her heart skipped a beat.

What did Ma Jingwen mean by that? Why must we listen to him this time?
Could it be that he knows something?
Ma Yinyin rarely saw her father treat her mother like this, and her father's behavior seemed really strange.

She hesitated for a few seconds, then climbed out of the hot spring and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Sweat beaded on Ma Jingwen's forehead. He turned to look at his daughter, took a deep breath, and said, "Yinyin, look at the first text message on Daddy's phone."

He took his phone out of his pocket.

Ma Yinyin took the phone with a puzzled look and skillfully entered the password.

After she finished reading the text message, her expression changed instantly, and shock and fear appeared in her eyes.

She glanced at Luo Shuxian out of the corner of her eye and asked in a trembling voice, "Dad, is...is this true?"

Ma Jingwen lowered his eyes slightly. "I think it should be true."

Luo Shuxian stared intently at the father and daughter, then chuckled, "What kind of riddle are you two playing? What's real and what's fake?"

When Ma Yinyin heard her voice, a chill ran down her spine.

She pressed her lips tightly together and couldn't help but shiver.

"Yin, Yin, are you cold?" Even though she was drunk, Lin Manqing still remembered to care about her daughter.

Ma Yinyin nodded quickly, "Mom, I'm cold, so cold. Will you come with me back to my room to change my clothes?"

Hearing that her daughter was cold, Lin Manqing nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back to the room."

Seeing that she was about to get out of the hot spring pool, Luo Shuxian reached out to stop her, "Manman, how old is Yinyin? Does she need you to come with her to change her clothes in the room? You can just stay here and drink with me."

She then looked at Ma Yinyin and said, "There are no outsiders here, so don't be afraid. Go upstairs and change your clothes."

“I want my mom to be with me,” Ma Yinyin replied.

Luo Shuxian frowned and said unhappily, "How old are you? Do you think you're still a child? Your mother can't always be with you. You need to learn to be independent."

Lin Manqing doted on her daughter and reached out to cover Luo Shuxian's mouth, "Shh! Ah, Shuxian, Yinyin is our treasure, you can't be mean to her."

“Hmm…” Luo Shuxian grabbed her hand and said irritably, “I didn’t yell at her, I was just trying to reason with her.”

"No, that won't work either." After saying that, Lin Manqing grabbed the handrail of the steps and climbed up.

Ma Yinyin and Ma Jingwen breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her come up.

"Mom, let's go back to our room to change." Ma Yinyin and Ma Jingwen supported Lin Manqing's arms on either side.

The family of three dragged themselves up to the second floor of the villa, leaving a trail of water on the floor. Luo Shuxian stared at their retreating figures, her brows furrowed, and beckoned to Yue Jinpeng, "Old Yue, come here."

Yue Jinpeng, a cigarette dangling from his lips, approached the hot spring pool. "What are you doing?"

Luo Shuxian lowered her voice: "Ma Jingwen's attitude is very strange. I don't know what he showed Ma Yinyin just now."

"Really?" Yue Jinpeng squinted slightly as he looked over. "It's nothing."

"What do you mean 'nothing'?" Luo Shuxian glared at him. "They've all gone back to their rooms. How are we supposed to proceed with our plan?"

"How much did you give Lin Manqing?"

"That bottle was almost entirely consumed by the mother and daughter."

"Then Lin Manqing must be drunk, this matter is settled."

“I don’t think Ma Jingwen is drunk; his face is whiter than if he had applied powder.”

Yue Jinpeng took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled smoke, and laughed: "Don't worry, he won't last long."

"What do you mean?" Luo Shuxian asked.

Yue Jinpeng whispered in her ear, "I put something in the wine glass he was drinking from..."

"Old Yue, it has to be you." Luo Shuxian gave him a thumbs up. "You're reliable!"

Yue Jinpeng said with a smug look on his face, "Of course."

In her room on the second floor, Lin Manqing collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she entered the room.

After locking the door, Ma Jingwen looked at his daughter with a dazed expression and instructed her, "Yinyin, I'll help your mother change her clothes. Go and change your coat."

“Okay.” Ma Yinyin nodded vigorously, took the T-shirt and jeans and went into the bathroom.

Ma Jingwen struggled to help Lin Manqing change out of her wet swimsuit, then collapsed weakly onto the sofa, pinching his inner thighs hard with his fingers.

When Ma Yinyin came out after changing her clothes, she saw this scene and asked worriedly, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"Yinyin." Ma Jingwen felt even speaking was difficult, and he knew he couldn't hold on any longer. "I must have been drugged by Yue Jinpeng."

Ma Yinyin's face immediately turned pale.

"Take your phone," Ma Jingwen instructed. "Contact Jiang Yuan; she's coming to see us."

"Okay." Ma Yinyin nodded vigorously, trying her best to remain calm.

Both her father and mother have fallen ill, so she not only has to protect herself, but also her parents.

Ma Jingwen wanted to say something more, but he didn't have the strength to finish. He could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the sofa.

Looking at her unconscious father and then at her drunken mother, Ma Yinyin burst into tears.

She looked down at her father's phone, about to make a call, when the door was suddenly banged on.

Ma Yinyin trembled with fright and looked up at the door.

"Manman, Yinyin, have you changed your clothes yet?" Luo Shuxian's voice rang out from outside the door.

Ma Yinyin pursed her lips and remained silent.

Luo Shuxian pounded on the door again, her voice rising a few decibels, "Lin Manqing! Ma Yinyin! Change your clothes and come out. Lao Yue ordered barbecue, come out and have some barbecue with us!"

After she finished speaking, she tried to turn the doorknob, but unfortunately, she couldn't open the door.

Ma Yinyin sat on the edge of the bed, gripping her phone tightly, her heart pounding fiercely.

About a minute later, silence returned outside the door. Just when she thought Luo Shuxian had given up calling them and was about to call Jiang Yuan, a loud bang suddenly came, followed by a violent banging on the door.
