The Devil Who Devoured Snow White Chapter 197
Advertisement
Yong Liwei carried Lu Mengjie to his bed, tucking her under the blanket.
The door of his room was pushed open as another woman barged into his room. She had almond brown hair and dark red lipsticks. The woman had a sharp look on her face. Behind her, a man in a black suit followed, carrying small luggage.
"I suggest that we move her to another room," Xue Lihua advised. "I don't want her to use your room, Mr. Yong."
"She won't be. Not for long," he replied as he kept staring at Lu Mengjie's sleeping face.
"Then if you'll excuse me, I must start the procedure."
Yong Liwei was quiet for a moment before he asked, "how long will the medicine take effect?"
"It depends on the dosage."
The man finally stood up and moved aside as he finally handed the unconscious woman to Xue Lihua's care. He watched her take out the materials from the luggage her companion brought. She wore the white gloves then sterilized her hands. Xue Lihua instructed her companion to prepare the IV tubing as he placed it on a nearby stand.
Xue Lihua was once working as a nurse before she came in contact with Yong Liwei. She was one of the women he has been sleeping with after he made her sign a contract. Just Like Wei Sianqi, she was willing to offer her life just to be noticed by this cold-hearted man.
"How long will she be staying in your room?" The woman asked as she began disinfecting the IV site on Lu Mengjie's hand. Jealousy was heard in her tone.
"A week."
"A week?" She paused and frowned deeply. "Then where are you going to sleep?"
"Where I sleep is none of your business. Get your work done already," he retorted as he glared at her.

She felt shivers run down her spine. She was still afraid of him despite all her adoration for him. She finally turned her gaze back at Lu Mengjie's hand. She inserted the needle into her vein. After successfully doing so, she held the catheter in place before she finally took the needle out. She inserted the tubing and secured it by placing a tape.
Xue Lihua's companion began checking for the flow of fluid into the IV line and after he did, he took two bottles of medicine out of the bag. "Ms. Xue, here are the medicines."
The woman took the bottles and prepared two syringes. "I will be putting her into a coma now," she notified him, waiting for him to give her permission to inject the medicine. When she saw him nod, she did what she was ordered to do.
While Yong LIwei was watching the whole process, his phone began ringing.
Xue Lihua eyed him when he answered the call.
"Have Han Xukun handle it," Yong Liwei said with his usual indifference.
She could already tell that something was wrong when she saw the knit between his brows. She quietly listened to his conversation on the phone. After the call ended, she began putting her things back in the bag.
"Xue Lihua," he called.
"Yes sir?"
"I have something to attend to. I want you to watch over her. Don't allow anyone, including Si Guanlin, to enter her room." He cast his eyes at Xue Lihua's companion, Xiao Gao. "If Si Guanlin insists on wanting to see her, call me immediately."
…
Later that night, while Yong Liwei was away, Xue Lihua ordered her companion to get some food for her. While he was away, a knock was heard.
"Come in," she said. She was sitting on the sofa, holding a phone in her hand. She stood up and looked at the man who went in. "We must hurry. Xiao Gao will be back soon. Mr. Yong might be on his way as well."

"I know, I know." Si Guanlin approached the bed and stared down at the unconscious woman. "I can't believe she earned Yong Liwei's favor."
Xue Lihua furrowed her brow, obviously disagreeing with him. "I don't think so. That's not how I see it. It's more like she received his wrath."
"His wrath?" He ended up laughing at the words. "Oh come on, Lihua. Do you think he would allow her to taint his room if he hated her? Look, he has even taken care of her injuries. Do you see this as a form of torture?"
She ended up pressing her lips together upon realization. She stared down at Lu Mengjie in contempt.
The man went to stand behind her. He leaned down to her level and whispered in her ear. "Yong Liwei will never look at you with her around him. He cares for her."
She clenched her jaw, her fingers curled up tightly. Jealousy began clouding her heart. He was right. She should be removing any obstacles that catch Yong Liwei's attention. "I want to kill her."
"I know you do but we can't do that. At least not right now." He grabbed her fist and opened it before he placed two vials on her palms. "Inject this to her."
She looked at the vial and her eyes went wide in surprise upon reading the name of the medicine. "This is… a drug that causes amnesia."
"Correct." He flashed her a grin from his position. "With the right dose, she will even forget who she is." He gently patted her head. "You are a smart girl, Lihua. That's what I like about you. Your talent is a waste in Yong Liwei's hands. He had never shown affection to you even in bed, right?"
Xue Lihua pursed her lips at what he said. Her eyes were clouded with all kinds of dark emotions that Si Guanlin wanted her to have.
"He only rewards you with sex but when was the last time he touched you? Did he ever touch you barehandedly? Or does he find you disgusting like other women that even when having sex, he had to put on his gloves?" He slowly, carefully, placed his hand on her waist. "Unlike him, I can give you what you want."
"B-But Mr. Si..." She breathed out.
He slipped his right hand under her pants while his left hand cupped her breast. "Wealth…" His husky voice gave her chills, but in a good way. He placed his lips against the crook of her neck causing her to inhale sharply. "Power…" He continued as he moved his fingers below her making her gasp then moan. "Anything you want, Xue Lihua. You know that I'm better than him."
