"You bumpkin, how dare you curse me!"
The woman took off her sunglasses.
Anger filled her beautiful eyes.
"This was just a kind reminder. You can choose not to believe it, but take care, a bad heart and a hot temper might just make you sick."
Lin Fan was too lazy to waste more words and pressed the button for the sixteenth floor.
"Do you even know who I am? I'm Mr. Ning's best friend, believe it or not, I can make her fire you."
Yang Linglong clenched her fists.
She had come to the company to see her best friend and ended up being cursed by her subordinate, which made her blood boil.
"And do you know who I am?"
Lin Fan asked with a smile.
"Who are you?"
Yang Linglong was stunned, thinking that he was about to reveal some powerful background.
"Since you don't know, how can you fire me!"
Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders.
If neither of them knew the other's name, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"You...you rogue, you're asking for it!"
Yang Linglong's eyes shot fire, and she delivered a whip kick towards Lin Fan.
With her martial arts skills, she was no weakling.
But unexpectedly, Lin Fan's hands were faster than her leg.
He grabbed her ankle and lifted the slender leg above his head.
"Are you even reasonable? I kindly warned you, yet you attack me. That's conscienceless!"
As Lin Fan exerted force, Yang Linglong was squeezed into the corner.
Her long leg was raised high, a pose that truly sparked imaginations.
"My grandfather is celebrating his seventieth birthday the day after tomorrow, and you're cursing him!"
With her right leg restrained, Yang Linglong could only attack with her hands.
But the next second, her hands were also controlled.
Pressed behind her back, her posture became even more awkward.
"The fact that you ran into me must be a result of your family's good deeds. It never hurts to be more prepared."
Lin Fan used his shoulder to support her leg and clasped her wrists with his hands.
Her ample breasts were squeezed between them.
All he could smell was the fragrance of her hair.
"If you dare, let me go... I'll kill you!"
Her leg was pressed against her own shoulder, leaving her chest completely unguarded.
The awkward position made Yang Linglong's face turn crimson.
She had never been so humiliated in her life.
"I don't have time for your nonsense. I'm just a hardworking employee. Consider this warning a birthday gift for your grandfather, but I must say, you're quite flexible, a boyfriend would be very lucky."
Lin Fan glanced at the elevator doors.
The moment they opened, he slipped away.
Of course, not before giving her pert derriere a slap.
By the time Yang Linglong steadied herself and chased after him, he had already disappeared into the spacious office area.
"You...you bastard... don't let me find you... otherwise, I will definitely kill you!"
Yang Linglong, her eyes blazing with anger, furiously stamped her foot.
But helplessly, she returned to the elevator.
Directly to the top floor's CEO's office.
"Why the long face as soon as you're back from abroad? Wasn't it fun overseas?"
Sitting in the CEO's office, Ning Mengyao looked puzzled at the fuming Yang Linglong.
She had just completed a round-the-world trip, so why the bad mood?
"It's all because of the lousy employees you hired. As soon as I walked in, they started cursing me. It infuriated me!"
Yang Linglong vented as she plopped down on the sofa angrily.
"Who dares to spite Miss Yang? I'll fire them immediately."
Ning Mengyao put down the tablet in her hand.
She walked over to Yang Linglong with a smile.
The two beautiful women sitting together really looked like a perfect oil painting.
"It's those guys from your marketing department, he obviously isn't good news. Don't worry, I'll deal with him sooner or later myself. But what about that issue with Sun Ba? I only heard about it when I got back this morning. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Yang Linglong did not want to bring up what had just happened.
She couldn't even pull up the surveillance footage, lest her embarrassment be revealed.
So, she hurriedly changed the subject, which was the reason she had rushed over.
"What's the use of telling you, since Sun Ba has such a big influence? Telling you would only make you worried!"
Ning Mengyao sighed and helplessly leaned back on the sofa.
"How can you say it's useless? Don't forget I still have the lifeline phone my brother gave me. I could just call those guys over. My brother said anyone of them could turn the whole Jiangning blooy."
As Yang Linglong spoke, she didn't forget to take out the bullet pendant from her bosom.
The number on it was the lifeline her brother had left for her.
"Forget about it, your brother said it should only be used as a last resort, plus, the issue has been resolved already,"
Ning Mengyao pulled Yang Linglong's hand.
This was her life-saving resource, and she only had one chance to use it.
"Resolved? Did that bastard Sun Ba change his ways?"
Yang Linglong paused, curiously asking.
"That's not it…"
Ning Mengyao then recounted the whole affair with the man of the ledger.
When Yang Linglong heard that she had married a man whose face and name she didn't even know, she was utterly shocked.
"Meng Yao, you really know how to play, getting married without even knowing what your husband looks like."
"It doesn't matter now, he promised me we would divorce in six months. What I hate the most is my grandfather forcing him to join the marketing department; just thinking about it gives me a headache,"
sighed Ning Mengyao.
"The guy I encountered earlier might have been that bastard. He was pretty skillful, or I would have broken his limbs by now,"
said Yang Linglong, clenching her fist.
Just thinking about how Lin Fan had cornered her earlier filled her with immense anger.
"It can't be such a coincidence, but no worries, I've already sent out a notice. None of these interns will stay!"
Calculating the time, he should be here by now.
Ning Mengyao confidently pulled herself up on the sofa.
The person she didn't want to stay would definitely be sent away.
"Hey, it's been three months, but somehow you seem different?"
Yang Linglong examined Ning Mengyao from head to toe.
"With such an encounter, it's normal to feel down and lose some weight,"
sighed Ning Mengyao.
In the days she was forced into marriage by Sun Ba, she could hardly eat or drink.
"It's not being skinnier, your complexion looks a lot healthier. Have you secretly been using some skincare product? Your face seems radiant and your skin has become so good. What's going on? You can't keep such good things to yourself!"
Yang Linglong was touching Ning Mengyao's hand.
Her skin felt as soft as a newborn's.
"Really? I don't know either!"
Ning Mengyao had noticed this when she was putting on makeup this morning.
She thought it was an illusion and didn't pay much attention to it.
"I've heard that women nourished by a man have particularly good skin. You haven't been secretly 'eating' up some man behind my back, have you?"
Yang Linglong said with a mischievous smile, but she hit the nail on the head.
Although Ning Mengyao tried hard to defend herself, the panic inside her was indescribable.
Little did she know, by absorbing the dragon energy from Lin Fan, the world was bound to change in unbelievable ways.
After chatting for a while and agreeing to have dinner together later, Yang Linglong finally left.
Ning Mengyao leaned back in her office chair, rubbing her forehead.
The image of Lin Fan's face kept emerging in her mind.
"He should have arrived by now!"
Ning Mengyao felt a bit worried and ultimately decided to check on things.
So, she stood up and went to the meeting room next to the marketing department.
She was determined to eavesdrop and find out what kind of person this guy really was.
