“What are you laughing about?” Zeng Rou was piqued
“I’m laughing at you… You think you’re smart, but you’re not nearly as smart as Huo Mian . ”
“I never compare myself to Huo Mian . ” Zeng Rou felt sour .
It seemed the spotlight always followed Huo Mian . Everyone liked her, even her enemies, like Jack, who hated her guts appreciated her . Why? Just because she was Huo Mian?
“My time is precious and I don’t want to waste it on you . The first question… What’s your purpose of staying in the South Side?”
“To recover from my wound,” Zeng Rou replied immediately .
“Water…”
At Jack’s order, his subordinate splashed a bucket of icy water onto Zeng Rou .
It felt bone cold…
She had been weak from the bumpy trip and now she was soaked in icy water . It was too much for her .
“Huo Siqian, you’re a psycho…” Zeng Rou cursed in fury .
“You’d better tell me the truth… I ask you again, what’s your purpose of staying at South Side?”
“I went there to get my wound treated… Didn’t you know I hurt my leg? Huo Mian’s my friend and I thought she’d take care of me while I lived at South Side . ”
Zeng Rou didn’t dare to tell them about the force behind her . If she did, many people would die with her . So, she stuck with her original story .
“For treatment? Huo Mian believed your bullshit but I don’t… You don’t want to tell me the truth?”
Jack grabbed Zeng Rou’s chin with a hard grip and asked her .
“I told… the truth,” because of the chill, Zeng Rou answered Jack with chattering teeth .
“Very good… More water . ”
Jack stood up impatiently .
As another bucket of icy water splashed on her, Zeng Rou felt she was submerged in freezing water .
Then she blanked out…
“Mr . Jack, she passed out . ”
“Take her down . When she wakes up, we’ll continue . ”
“Yes, Sir . ”
“Besides, spread the word that Zeng Rou was kidnapped by a young and beautiful woman . ”
“Yes, Sir . ”
At South Side Recuperation Center .
As Director Wu was driven back to his home, Huo Mian returned to the hospital .
“Sister Mian, you’re back . Are you okay?” worried, Chen Jie hurried up and asked in a low voice .
Huo Mian nodded .
“President Qin is waiting for you in your office . ”
“My husband is here?”
Surprised, Huo Mian quickened her steps and pushed open the door to her office .
Qin Chu was sitting in the chair behind her desk, looking worried . He was relieved when he saw her walk in .
“Honey . ”
“Mr . Qin, what are you doing here?”
Qin Chu hadn’t come here for a long time .
“Your bodyguards called me and said someone took you away . ”
“Oh, I’m fine . It’s broad daylight and Director Wu was in the car . What could happen?” Huo Mian chuckled and brushed it off airily .
Even though Qin Chu knew the more airily she acted, the more serious the issue was, he didn’t pursue the topic .
“Honey, I haven’t eaten yet . Would you… go out and grab a bite with me?”
“Excellent! I want to eat stewed pork . ”
Hearing they were going out for a meal, Huo Mian smiled and held Qin Chu’s arm .
“Look at you… Where’s your dignity as the vice director?”
Qin Chu pinched her chubby chin lovingly .
“I’ll soon be promoted to be the director, okay? Don’t put the word ‘Vice’ before my title… Humph . ”
Under the envious eyes of her colleagues, Huo Mian walked out of the hospital hand in hand with Qin Chu .
In a Chinese restaurant near the hospital, Qin Chu ordered several dishes including meats and vegetables .
“Honey… the people who took me are…”
Huo Mian knew the thing couldn’t remain a secret, so seeing they were alone, she wanted to tell Qin Chu .
“Honey, have some water first . ” Qin Chu interrupted her and poured her a glass of water .
Huo Mian was startled . Obviously, Mr . Qin was trying to stop her from talking about the issue . Did it mean… that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation?
