Reaching out, Lu Yihan clenched his fists and slammed his fist on the desk. His tone was vicious as he said, "Don't think that I don't know anything just because you left so quickly! Qin Fangang, you're my superior in the company. You asked me to respect you, okay! But please remember that woman — she's still Lu Yihan's wife. I'd like to see who has the right to do anything to her if I don't let her go. "
Lu Yihan turned around and left after he said those harsh words.
The door to the office cracked loudly as he slammed it.
Qin Fangang's brows were tightly knitted together. His handsome features instantly darkened. Deep within his long and narrow eyes, there was a complicated but equally cold glint. He reached out for a cigarette and lit it. After smoking half of it, he took an ashtray and snuffed it out. He got up, put on his coat, took his car keys and went to the carpark.
…
Xin Yu put down the drawing in her hand and couldn't help but move her wrist. She was in so much pain that her face turned pale and she gasped.
Mu Chenchu saw this and hurried forward. "What's wrong with you? I saw you moving your wrist the whole morning. Is your hand injured? "
As he spoke, he lifted her sleeve. There was a big bruise on her wrist and it was swollen. "Are you kidding me? Why didn't you say anything when you saw such a big bruise? I think you should go to the hospital for a check-up. Is it very painful? "
Xin Yu recalled that she had been thrown by Lu Yihan in the corridor of the restaurant's restroom yesterday. It had indeed been very painful yesterday and she had been in discomfort when she slept at night. She had thought that it was just a minor injury, but she hadn't expected it to be so swollen today. When Mu Chenchu moved, she felt even more pain and her expression changed. "Don't … It hurts."
Mu Chenchu carefully put down her sleeve and pushed her towards the door. "Okay, don't stay here. Go to the hospital and don't worry about this."
"But, I —"
"No buts. What can happen here? Actually, everything about this project was very stable. Although Boss Qin said that he wanted us to be in charge of it, he had already done all the needles for us. We were just putting on a show. Your hand is swollen like a bun. It's useless to stay here. Hurry up and go to the hospital! "
Xin Yu moved her wrist. It really hurt. She couldn't bear it. In the end, she nodded and left.
She hailed a taxi on the side of the road and told the driver to go to the nearest hospital. As soon as she got into the car, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and saw three words flashing on the screen. She instinctively frowned and didn't think too much about it. She immediately rejected the call.
Two minutes later, the phone rang again. She thought it was Qin Fangang again, so she was about to turn it off in annoyance. However, it was an unfamiliar number.
Xin Yu thought for a while and picked it up.
She said, "Hello."
Soon, a familiar female voice came from the other end. Xin Yu was quite surprised. It was Lan Ruoran. She was very straightforward. "Leng Xinyu, I want to meet you now."
Xin Yu thought it was quite funny. What was wrong with Lan Ruoran? Who did she think she was? If she wanted to meet her, she would just call her and tell her the time and place. Did she have to meet her?
Xin Yu wasn't that easy to bully. Besides, she didn't feel guilty about Lan Ruoran. Instead, she felt disgusted.
"Miss Lan, I don't think there's a need for us to meet." Xin Yu's tone was calm, but there was a hint of coldness between the lines. "Actually, I can guess what you want to tell me, so … Miss Lan, forget it. You should catch more Lu Yihan. Don't waste your time on me."
She was about to hang up the phone when Lan Ruoran sneered and said calmly, "Really? Leng Xinyu, I can guarantee that if you don't come to see me now, you'll regret it! I'll only wait for you for 20 minutes. If you don't come, I don't think I need to tell you about the good things you've done in England. By then, the whole of City D will know. "
Xin Yu's hand tightened around the phone. The words "good things you've done in England" were like a pair of invisible hands that instantly grabbed her most fatal weakness. Her breath couldn't help but tighten. Almost uncontrollably, she blurted out, "… What do you know?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she instantly regretted it.
She quickly realized that she had overreacted. If Lan Ruoran was testing her, her reaction just now was clearly — knowing that there was a trap, but still jumping in without hesitation.
However, she had overestimated Lan Ruoran. Obviously, she hadn't thought of this. The female voice from the phone sounded triumphant. "What do you know? You'll know when you come over. Leng Xinyu, the evidence in my hands is very interesting! Okay, the countdown starts now. It's 1: 20. I'm only waiting for you to reach 40 minutes. "
…
Xin Yu hung up the phone, feeling uneasy.
Her mind kept replaying Lan Ruoran's words just now. What evidence did she have? Logically speaking, she shouldn't have known about what happened in England. Should she go over or not?
Xin Yu kept thinking about whether this was Lan Ruoran's empty fort strategy or if she really had some evidence. However, on second thought, she felt that Lan Ruoran wouldn't be smart enough to come up with an empty fort strategy. Moreover, if she was waiting for her to jump in with an empty fort strategy, she wouldn't have said that it was England …
However, if she really went over, what if she didn't know anything? Wouldn't that be the same as confirming her "crime?"
Too many things had happened recently. Xin Yu's mind was constantly on edge. Now that Lan Ruoran had suddenly called, her nerves were in a state of high tension. She went through all the possibilities in her mind. In the end, she still felt that she was overthinking it.
Lan Ruoran was a person who only knew how to be fearless. It was impossible for her to come up with an empty fort strategy. She probably heard something or — she had been sending people to investigate her all this time. There must be something fishy going on. That was why she called her.
She couldn't take the risk.
Xin Yu still asked the driver to change directions midway. She went to the place where Lan Ruoran had agreed to meet her.
It wasn't very far. Lan Ruoran gave her 20 minutes, but Xin Yu only took 15 minutes to arrive. When she walked into the cafe, Xin Yu saw a woman wearing a light yellow jacket from afar.
She walked over and sat in front of Lan Ruoran.
Lan Ruoran put down the coffee cup in her hand. She raised her eyebrows and chuckled. "Heh, you're quite punctual. Leng Xinyu, you probably did something shameful when you were in England, right? "
The veins on Xin Yu's forehead bulged. She still looked at Lan Ruoran calmly. "Don't keep me in suspense. I'm just curious. What kind of thing can you say to attack me? I hope you're not wasting my time. "
Lan Ruoran sneered. "Leng Xinyu, don't pretend to be calm. You didn't do anything in England. Why are you in such a hurry to meet me? You're obviously guilty! "
At this moment, Xin Yu thought that Lan Ruoran wasn't stupid. She actually knew how to trick her. However, since she was here, she naturally had to calm her emotions. Perhaps she would not be Qin Fangang's match at all if she were to deal with a deep man like him. However, when it came to dealing with Lan Ruoran, she would not panic.
"You think I'm pretending to be calm? I've been in England for five years. It's impossible for me to do nothing. I know that you've always wanted to sit in my position, so you probably haven't been idle for the past five years. Why do you think I'm here? I'm just curious. I want to know what you've wasted your time and energy on for the past five years. What exactly did you waste to cause such a fatal blow to me? "
Xin Yu spoke calmly, and her expression was flawless.
On the other hand, Lan Ruoran was a little uncertain.
In fact, the photos that the Tang Miao gave her couldn't be considered as strong evidence. At most, she could only say that she went in and out of the hotel. However, it was too easy to find an excuse to go in and out of the hotel. She was only curious because Qin Fangang's figure was in the only photo. Moreover, when Qin Fangang defended her so blatantly in front of her at the hospital, she was even more certain that the relationship between the two was definitely not simple.
She had also spent some time with Qin Fangang. He wasn't the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's business. Especially with Leng Xinyu's status, why would he help her?
This could only mean one thing. There must be something between the two of them.
After Lu Shiyun came to find her in the morning, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
She felt that she couldn't just sit around and wait for death. Lu Shiyun wouldn't accept her. She couldn't challenge Lu Shiyun. Her stomach was a lie. She didn't know how to tell Lu Yihan now … Then, the only person left was Leng Xinyu!
It just so happened that Lu Shiyun was going to leave D City for a few days. She had to make Leng Xinyu withdraw from the scene in these few days!
"Miss Lan, you called me over just to say these few words, right?" Xin Yu saw that Lan Ruoran didn't say anything else. She frowned and said impatiently, "If you're here to say these boring words, then forgive me for not having time to waste here with you."
"Leng Xinyu, tell me the truth. Did you know Qin Fangang when you were in England?"
Xin Yu was about to get up when Lan Ruoran suddenly spoke up and looked at her with a burning gaze.
Xin Yu's heart tightened and her grip on her handbag tightened. However, the expression on her face was still calm. She paused and nodded as if nothing had happened. "That's right. I did see him before. Does this have anything to do with you, Miss Lan?"
"It has nothing to do with me. But don't you think it has something to do with Yihan?"
