From the hospital, He Lanjin drove back to the city, stopping by the roadside.
Her iPad buzzed with a new message. It was from Tang Zhilin, asking how He Lanjin moved out. The message also made mention of He Wenqing being afflicted with sudden urinary incontinence. Tang Zhilin cautioned He Lanjin about being visible in public so nobody could throw dirt on the He family.
He Lanjin typed "Got it" on her iPad and quicky sent it in reply.
Upon reading the words "urinary incontinence," He Lanjin could not help but laugh. She remembered how her grandfather chased He Wenqing with an iron rod. The old man even threatened to break He Wenqing's legs if He Wenqing drank again. Now every time the old man was mentioned, He Wenqing's legs would go weak.
But He Lanjin did not expect that her threats of complaining to her grandfather would make He Wenqing scared to the point of urinary incontinence.
"Work extra hard! CEO Huang needs us to quickly find the person who stole his phone." Like hooligans, the director's group of bodyguards aggressively searched every person they saw on the street.
Overhearing the bodyguards, He Lanjin checked the news. CEO Huang's wealth could not keep the news from blowing up. His stocks were falling, his partners withdrawing their investments left and right. Nobody wanted their affiliation with CEO Huang to affect their image and standing.
THE FIVE-STAR COUPLES HOTEL.
He Ruoxue touched up her makeup, put away her scarf, and pulled down the collar of her sweater before she knocked on the room door. She stood in a coquettish manner, her excitement building up.
"Oh..." Just as He Ruoxue touched the doorknob, she was forcefully dragged in. Lu Zifan threw her onto the bed and pressed down on her with his body.
He Ruoxue looked up happily at Lu Zifan's face, hugged him and asked, "Did you miss me?''
"What do you think?" Lu Zifan chuckled softly. Looking at He Ruoxue's misty eyes, he lowered his head and kissed her little mouth. He Ruoxue almost lost her mind, but she was brought back to consciousness by Lu Zifan's question. "Have you found the He family's confidential documents?"
"Make your move first, and then I will tell you."
He Ruoxue wanted to play hard to get, but Lu Zifan suddenly turned cold. He got up from his position on top of her and sat on the bed.
"Hubby," He Ruoxue whispered anxiously. She got up from the bed and hugged him from behind. "I'll find it as soon as possible. Brother Zifan, what exactly is the He family's secret?"
"If you want to know, then find the documents." Lu Zifan said in a cold voice.
He Ruoxue pouted unhappily and crawled into Lu Zifan's arms, saying, "Promise me you'll marry me after the deed is done."
"Baby, don't you believe me?" Hearing what He Ruoxue wanted frustrated Lu Zifan. He was just playing around with her. She was nothing but a pawn to help him take down the He corporation.
It burdened him to hear that she wanted him to marry her, that she wanted to be his responsibility.
He Ruoxue was a little unhappy that Lu Zifan did not say yes outright, but she didn't dare lose her temper. She got up, stood in front of him and crossed her arms on her chest. "You're the worst, but I like you."
He Ruoxue moved toward Lu Zifan and touched him on the face and started caressing his chest, but he stopped her and said, "We were exposed. If the He family is alert and guarded against us, it'll be difficult for them to make a move in the future."
"Yes, I will get what you need as soon as possible," He Ruoxue said. "Ah, you're too bad..." She stopped what she was going to say when Lu Zifan hugged her waist.
He leaned against her and caressed her back. Listening to her soft breathing, Lu Zifan lit up a cigarette and took a deep puff.
He Ruoxue climbed onto Lu Zifan's body and snatched the cigarette from his mouth. She brought it to her mouth and took a puff. "He Lanjin regards me as her best friend and hasn't hidden anything from me," she said. "I've never heard her mention anything about the He family's past."
Thinking of He Lanjin's foolish appearance, she felt very confident.
However, He Ruoxue did not notice the disdain in Lu Zifan's eyes. He took the cigarette from her, crushed it in an ashtray on the bedside table, and pulled her onto the bed. He pressed her down, forcefully possessing her.
"Don't stop... Okay, I promise you. I'll go get it tonight."
