oice was dry and raspy.Ho Mingzheng frowned, "These don't concern you, just rest well."Fù Yān held the phone tightly under the quilt. It was a text message from Shen Wei just now — 【Surprised】She sudd...Facing the door, Manager Huang didn't see anyone coming. He just felt a chill down his spine.

Then a warm current flowed down his back, and he reached up to touch it.

Blood!

His face turned white as a sheet, and he screamed hysterically: "Secretary! Call an ambulance, and get someone here, I'm going to see who dares..."

"Who are you looking for" a cold, male voice interrupted him.

The man strode over with long legs, slowly stopping behind them, his gaze sweeping casually over Fu Jing and Fu Yan.

Huang the manager was just about to turn his head when Cao Fang grabbed his collar.

Cao Fang was tall and slender yet powerfully built. Ordinary bodyguards were no match for him. No matter how Huang, the manager, struggled to see who their assailant was, he remained completely immobile.

Cao Fang found his smell of alcohol repulsive and threw him to the ground with force.

Mr. Huang hit his head on the armrest of the sofa, and blood started flowing from the back of his head even faster.

But at this moment, he understood that bleeding wouldn't kill him. What was truly terrifying was the person who had just entered the room.

He scrambled backward in panic, turning back with fear. In the glare of the spotlight, the noble and aloof man stood tall, as if he were just passing by.

But he looked down upon them like a hawk eyeing ants, making him feel a chill. Seeing the jade ring on his left thumb—a symbol of his status—he couldn't help but shiver.

"Oh, Mr. Huo"

" Huo Mingzheng's three words represent absolute authority. Under the oppression of absolute power, Huang Manager couldn't even breathe."

"Who were you about to call" Huo Mingzheng echoed his words, showing an unusual amount of kindness.

Even Huang, the manager, could tell that Huo Mingzheng seemed to be on Fu Yan's side.

But what exactly was happening, he didn't know.

He only knows that he is at death's door.

His face was pale, he struggled to get up, and went to shake Huo Mingzheng's hand, "Mr. Huo, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, you deigned to come to this place..."

Cao Fang kicked him in the chest and spat, "You deserve it!"

Huang Jingli was kicked to the ground, his limbs flailing helplessly. His head swam with dizziness as he vaguely saw Shen Wei standing behind Huo Mingzheng.

His face turned pale and red alternately, he trembled pointing at her, "General Manager Shen, say something!"

"Huang manager, you've had too much to drink, haven't you How could you treat Yan this way!"

Shen Wei's eyes were red as he ran to Fu Yan's face, worriedly asking, "Xiao Yan, are you alright"

Fu Yan just now hadn't reacted at all before being hugged by Fu Jing. At this moment, she had recovered some strength and said to him, "Put me down, I'm fine."

"Can I" Fu Jing wasn't very reassured.

Fu Yan nodded, and then Fu Jing let her go to the ground.

"Xiao Yan, are you really alright" Shen Wei looked very remorseful.

Fu Yan silently watched her, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped her!

With a smack!

Everyone was caught off guard.

Fu Yanmian remained expressionless, raising her hand to slap her again, but her wrist was caught in mid-air.

Her hand was warm and dry, with the unique smoothness of jade. Her eyes flickered, a sourness stinging her nostrils.

He was protecting that person.

She didn't look back, yanking her hand back forcefully.

Shen Wei was slapped across the face, covering his face and on the verge of tears: "Xiao Yan, what are you doing!"

"Where were you just now" Fu Yan stared at her coldly.

She explained in a choked voice: "I just went out to answer a phone call, and when I came back, the door to the room wouldn't open. I immediately contacted the manager and called Azheng because I was worried about you. Fortunately, he was nearby and rushed over."

She hid in the corner, waiting for Fu Yan to be assaulted by Huang Manager halfway through before calling Huo Mingzheng.

If Fu Yan was once a member of the Red Light District, how could Huo Mingzheng still be interested in her

Who knew Fu Jing would suddenly appear and disrupt the plan She had to call Huo Ming in advance to get herself out of it.

Shen Wei covered half his face that was beaten red, crying with tears streaming down his face. "You suffered grievances and blamed me. I understand. I shouldn't have left you alone in the room, but I didn't know Huang would do this to you."

"No, that's not right!" Manager Huang cried out in protest. "Director Shen, what do you mean Didn't you say..." you eat" 。"Fu Yan's spine prickled with goosebumps, and she laughed wryly. "No need to remind me, lest I get the wrong idea that I'm being favored by you." 。Only in ancient palaces would concubines b...
