Inside the staff lounge…
Song Fengwan was sitting on a chair while Fu Chen was holding a cotton swab dipped in povidone-iodine and helping her clean the wound on her palm.
“… I don’t know them at all. But from their tone, it seems someone instructed them,” Song Fengwan muttered softly.
“Oh,” Fu Chen replied. “You carry a knife with you when you go out?”
Song Fengwan coughed twice. “Just… to protect myself.”
Before she finished making the gift, she didn’t want to expose it, so she could only lie.
Actually, only she knew that the injuries on her hands were not entirely due to those two people. She had stayed up late last night to carve and already had some blood blisters on her fingers and the webbing of her thumb. After cleaning them, they still hurt terribly.
The fight with those men just now tore open all the wounds. They looked a little hideous and scary, but they didn’t hurt much.
“Raise your head a little.” Fu Chen took out a new cotton swab and dipped it in some medicine.
“Huh?” While Song Fengwan was still in a daze, someone gently pinched her chin.
He exerted a bit of force and moved her head slightly to the side.
“I’ll help you treat the injury on your neck.” Fu Chen moved his chair over, and the distance between them instantly narrowed.
He had a melancholic aura on his body, and she sized him up from the corner of her eye.
Fu Chen’s side profile was as good-looking as if it was exquisitely and carefully sculpted. His superior jawline was flawless. His eyes were lowered, and his black hair was unruly and scattered, falling on his forehead.
There was an inexplicable romantic feeling about him.
He tilted his head while holding the cotton swab in one hand and pressing the collar of her sweater down with the other. His expression was focused, as if he was doing something grand.
He was so close that she could even clearly feel his warm and humid breath.
It was refreshing…
… and smelled unusually good.
“Wanwan…” Fu Chen lowered his head to treat her wound. His voice was low and charming.
“What’s the matter?”
Fu Chen suddenly turned his head. In a flash…
The tip of their noses brushed against each other, and their breaths intertwined for a moment. It felt as though something was pulling at their hearts tightly. Song Fengwan blinked, and her fingers clutched the corner of her shirt tightly. She didn’t dare to move.
Fu Chen looked at her nervous and embarrassed expression and suddenly smiled…
His warm and humid breath blew on her face, making her heart flutter.
“Am I very good-looking?”
Song Fengwan almost nodded. Fu Chen’s face was publicly acknowledged as superior, and his voice was extremely pleasant to the ear, especially when he was so close to her. Her heart was beating wildly, almost bursting out of her chest, making her a little flustered.
“I…”
“Why else do you keep staring at me?”
“There’s something on your face!” Song Fengwan suddenly looked at him seriously.
“Really?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.
What could I have on my face?
There’s something in my heart though…
Because there’s someone inside it.
“Yes, there’s really something on your face,” Song Fengwan said seriously.
“Help me wipe it.” Fu Chen’s voice was low and seemed to be coaxing her.
“Do it yourself.”
“I don’t have any free hands,” Fu Chen said matter-of-factly.
Song Fengwan was furious. Why did I have to say this? I simply dug a hole for myself to jump in.
She raised her uninjured hand and reached out slightly trembling…
She grabbed his face randomly.
Her hand movements were rough and not gentle at all.
Fu Chen laughed softly, making her blush. This little girl, is she playing dumb in front of me?

At this moment, in the Cheng family residence in Beijing…
Cheng Tianyi had injured his hand and had just removed the cast not long ago. His wrist had recovered well, but he couldn’t hold heavy items. His nerves were injured, so it wouldn’t be easy to recover. He swiped his phone screen up a lot of times, but there was not a single message.
“Tianyi, it’s time for lunch.” Cheng Lan knocked open his door.
“Big Sis…” Cheng Tianyi looked at the time. It was already past twelve, but there was no news.
He hadn’t heard that something happened to Song Fengwan, and the few people he looked for didn’t reply either.
He felt uneasy, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
“Why are you in a daze? Let’s go downstairs to eat.”
“Big Sis, is it really because of Song Fengwan that something happened to our family?” Cheng Tianyi had yet to recover from his injuries and had stayed at home all this time, so he had had no idea that the Fu family had already cut ties with his family.
If not for the police finding him a few days ago and asking him about the gang beating of Xu Jingcheng at the school gates, he wouldn’t have known that his family was being besieged from all sides.
No wonder those few people who usually fawned over him were nowhere to be seen.
“You can’t blame her for this. I felt that you were bullied because of her, so I became rash and did something wrong, causing trouble for us. It’s my fault.” Cheng Lan smiled while comforting him like a kind and understanding elder sister.
“And then you fell out with Third Master?”
Up until now, Cheng Tianyi still thought that Cheng Lan and Fu Chen used to have a good relationship.
“Why are you bringing this up?”
“You drank a lot last night. I heard you say…” Cheng Tianyi gritted his teeth. “Song Fengwan seduced Third Master?”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Cheng Lan pretended not to know.
She was just using alcohol to put on an act in front of him. Cheng Tianyi was impulsive and had always not been resigned to being beaten up because of Song Fengwan. If he knew that she had also been bullied, he would definitely not be able to sit still.
It was because she was certain of this that she dared to use him again.
“No wonder. Third Master Fu usually doesn’t care about anything, yet he suddenly appeared that night. What walking the dog and just passing by? That’s pure nonsense.” Cheng Tianyi gritted his teeth in anger.
“Alright, hurry up and come down to eat. The food is already cold. Why are you saying all this now?” Cheng Lan’s eyes turned red, and she looked like she was extremely wronged.
“Big Sis, didn’t you say that Third Master has been very busy recently because of his birthday banquet? He definitely doesn’t have time to worry about her. Don’t worry. I’ve already found someone to deal with her.”
“You’re crazy! Do you know what you’re doing?! If anything happens to her, the Fu family won’t let us off!”
“The Fu family owes our family a favor. Even if they’ve severed ties with us, they can’t possibly take things to the extreme against us, can they?” Cheng Tianyi said shamelessly.
“Besides, are you willing to be suppressed by a little girl? Anyway, I can’t take this lying down. F*ck, I don’t believe I can’t make her die this time.”
Cheng Lan was shocked. “How dare you say that?”
“So what if I say it? I’ve already asked around. Fu Chen only arranged a driver for her, and she went to the mall this morning. I immediately found a few friends I know from before to go there.
“She and Fu Yuxiu were engaged for more than a year. I don’t believe that they’ve never done anything.” Cheng Tianyi recalled how Song Fengwan looked in front of him and smiled sinisterly. “She only knows how to f*cking pretend to be virtuous.
“But didn’t she still seduce Third Master Fu secretly?

“F*ck. It turns out this bitch looks down on me because she wants to get close to someone higher.”
“Did you really do it?” Cheng Lan asked, pretending that she didn’t understand.
“Why would I lie to you? I’ve called a lot of people. This matter will definitely succeed. Let’s go downstairs to eat.” Cheng Tianyi thought that he had done it flawlessly and was a little proud of himself.
“I’ll call Father immediately. You’re playing with fire.” Cheng Lan pretended to be anxious.
“What’s the hurry? If something really happens, it has nothing to do with you. I’ll take responsibility alone. I just want to vent my anger. When she becomes a whore, I’ll see how she can seduce men again.”
Cheng Lan clutched her phone and stared at his back as he went downstairs…
The corners of her lips slowly curled up.

Thousand Treasures Mall…
When the police received the news and rushed over, the six gangsters were already beaten beyond recognition.
“Young Master Duan, this…” The police officers were dumbfounded. They’re beaten so badly that they don’t even look human anymore.
“Oh, they tried to hurt people at my mall, but they were subdued by my security guards. They wanted to resist and run away, so there was a small conflict.” Duan Linbai chuckled.
The corners of the police officers’ mouths twitched.
You beat them until they can only gasp for breath and blink their eyes, and you call this a small conflict?
It’s clearly one-sided abuse.
These unlucky people, why did they come to the Duan family’s territory to commit crimes?
Duan Linbai yawned and instead reproached the police. “Police officers, in order to subdue them, my security guards worked very hard. You came so late.”
They were dumbfounded once again.
“These bastards harassed my mall’s customers. After you bring them back, you must interrogate them strictly.”
The police officers smiled bitterly. They’re already f*cking crippled. How are we supposed to interrogate them like this? They have to be dragged to the hospital for emergency treatment…
“Do you know what the worst part of this matter is? Someone instigated these people. You have to find out for me who the mastermind is!” Duan Linbai grabbed one of the police officer’s hands and held it tightly. “Police officer, say, do you think someone deliberately created this horrible incident to cause trouble for my family?”
“There’s someone behind this?” The police officer narrowed his eyes. “Are you sure?”
“They accidentally let it slip just now.” Duan Linbai rubbed his nose.
“But in this situation, if we want to interrogate…” The police officer took a deep breath.
“Bring them back and interrogate them separately. After reviewing the confessions, everything will be clear immediately.”
The police officers smiled embarrassedly. We know all of this, but with the state they’re in, how can we ask them?
“Where are the victims?”
“It’s not convenient for one of the victims to go back with you. I’ll ask the other one to cooperate with your investigation. I’ve already gotten someone to get the surveillance footage. I’ll give it to you later.”
Duan Linbai coughed twice. “One of the victims is a girl, and she’s frightened. You understand. Now’s not the right time.”
The police officers nodded. When they received the report, they heard that the victims were a male and a female. These people had tried to do something to the girl, so it was normal for her to be frightened. They had to take care of the victim’s emotions, so they couldn’t bring her back forcefully.
“Then I’ll send someone to take her statement.”
Duan Linbai nodded. Cooperating with the police was a duty of the people.
A moment later, a few police officers saw Qian Jiang appear in their sight.
They were dumbfounded once again.
“Young Master Duan, did you make any mistake? Are you saying that these people attacked him?”
“Yeah, the surveillance footage has it all. If you don’t believe me, you can go back and take a look.”
“I…” The police officers were furious. Are these people crazy?
They all knew that Qian Jiang was a retired special forces soldier who followed Fu Chen and was in charge of dealing with external affairs. They attacked him?! They must be tired of living.
Why the f*ck is Third Master Fu involved?!
“Excuse me. Please come back with us to cooperate with the investigation.” The police officer spoke to Qian Jiang very politely.
He didn’t reply, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
“This means he agrees. Go quickly!” Duan Linbai pushed them into the police car.
He was smiling on the outside but cursing on the inside.
It’s fine if I help Fu Chen clean up his mess, but I still have to coax you?
What the hell is all this?
Duan Linbai brought two police officers to the staff lounge to record Song Fengwan’s statement. Then he touched his arm and prepared to get his assistant to get him a jacket.
“Little Boss, there’s still something else.” The mall manager was busy working around outside and was sweating a lot. After all, even though Duan Linbai didn’t allow him to publicize this matter, he still had to explain the pros and cons to the employees.
“Let me make a call first.” Duan Linbai sniffed his nose. I can’t catch a cold again.
“This matter is a little urgent. When the garage was sealed, the security guards checked around and found a few suspicious people. After the guards caught them, they said that they were reporters and that they had been squatting in the garage for several hours. They even took photos of Miss Song being…”
“What did you say? Reporters?” Duan Linbai was usually frivolous, but he wasn’t stupid. There’s obviously something else fishy going on.
He knew that Cheng Tianyi was the mastermind, and Fu Chen beat those people up until they were half dead because he wanted to be faster than the police and punish Cheng Tianyi first. But now, it appeared that things weren’t as simple as they seemed to be on the surface.
“A few paparazzi, and they’re very cowardly. They confessed after we threatened them a little. They said that Cheng Lan asked them to follow her. If the incident was successful, they would release the news and let Miss Song’s…”
… Reputation be ruined and cause her never to be able to raise her head again.
The manager didn’t dare to say the last few words and could only stop where it was appropriate.
“This woman really isn’t going to f*cking give up. She’s vicious to the core.” Duan Linbai rubbed his fingers, ran straight to his black sports car, and stepped on the accelerator.
The engine roared as the car sped through the wind.
The manager was stunned for a few seconds before regaining his senses and slapping his thigh. Oh no!
He hurriedly went to the lounge to look for Fu Chen.
***
Two police officers were recording Song Fengwan’s statement while Fu Chen waited at the door. When he saw the manager running over while panting heavily, he lifted his eyelids to glance at him.
“Third Master!”
“Shh!” Shi Fang made a shushing gesture.
“Something’s happened…” The manager was out of breath as he spoke.
“What’s the matter now?” Shi Fang raised his eyebrows. He was still thinking about Qian Jiang’s arm. It’s a little fractured. I’ll have to force him to go to the hospital for a proper examination later.
“It’s like this. We caught a few reporters…” The manager briefly recounted the incident. “I’m afraid our Little Boss went to the Cheng family.”
Duan Linbai was a sentimental person and couldn’t stand seeing matters where people did things shamelessly for their personal gain.
“With his temper, he won’t be at a disadvantage.” Although Shi Fang was joking, he was also so shocked by Cheng Lan’s vicious methods that his back was cold.
“He definitely won’t be at a disadvantage, but I’m just afraid that if this matter blows up, it will damage her reputation…” The manager pointed at the lounge door.
Fu Chen nodded. “Bring me to go see those reporters.”
The manager hurriedly nodded.
“Shi Fang, protect her. When she’s finished, send her home. I’ll go back when I’m done,” Fu Chen instructed before turning around to leave.
Shi Fang sighed.
Just Duan Linbai alone is enough to destroy the Cheng family, and Third Master is even getting involved. This time, the Cheng family…
… is really doomed.
