Chapter 8

an was just short of saying outright that she wasn't really a member of the Huo family.Fu Yan clenched her fingers and subconsciously bit down on her teeth. Such a public embarrassment made her blush,...When the police arrived, Fu Yan was distraught and slumped on the ground.

The entrance hall was in utter disarray, things scattered everywhere, shards of broken ceramics littered the floor, speckled with drops of blood. The piece of porcelain she held in her hand had lost all its original color.

It was soaked in blood, a dark red color, with a strong metallic scent.

Chen Let fell to the ground, a streak of blood winding from his abdomen.

Two police officers felt a sinking feeling in their stomachs, sensing that something was wrong.

One of the police officers stepped forward, checked Chen Rang's breath, and said, "He's still breathing. Call an ambulance."

He cast another glance at Fu Yan, whose face had paled considerably, and said with a headache, "Take her back to the police station and file a report."

After Fu Yan stabbed Chen Rang, she called the police and said she acted in self-defense. Now it seems she has injuries on her body and her clothes are disheveled. The man's belt is unbuckled, so it's estimated that there isn't much discrepancy.

However, it also depends on the extent of the man's injuries.

The police tried several times before successfully taking the piece of porcelain out of Fu Yan's grasp.

She held on tightly, afraid to lose it, like a lifesaver. She didn't let go even when her own hand was cut by the sharp edge.

At the police station, Fu Yan cooperated with the recording of her statement. Every word she uttered was calm and composed. Even a veteran detective who had worked for over twenty years was impressed by this girl's courage; it was not something ordinary people possessed.

At this very moment, a black Bentley is parked silently in front of the police station building.

A striking license plate number startled the director, who rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

After finishing the statement, Fu Yan turned back to see Cao Fang negotiating with the police. She didn't notify her family because she was afraid that Song Qing˪ would be scared.

Cao Fang is even less likely to know what happened to her.

Until she was led out by Cao Fang and saw Huo Mingzheng in the car.

A thought flashed across her mind, she found it absurd and terrifying, unwilling to believe it.

"Now you know what it means to regret, don't you" The man's eyes glinted with a cold light in the darkness, a hint of mockery playing on his lips.

Fu Yan had always been pale before entering the police station, but upon hearing the man's words, her face became so white it was almost transparent.

No wonder she had just called the police and they appeared immediately, setting a record for response time. Now that things have calmed down, thinking back on it, it doesn't seem right.

It was him.

It was him who called the police to station themselves nearby, so they were able to appear quickly.

After enduring a whole night of composure, she finally crumbled at this moment, trembling uncontrollably. "Do you know that Chen Rang is going to attack me"

Perhaps it was known from the beginning, including Chen Rang tracking her.

Huo Mingzheng stared silently at her pale face.

"Are you just going to stand there and watch him bully me, remaining calm and indifferent, waiting to teach me a painful lesson To get revenge on me"

Fu Yan asked him question after question, her voice choked with emotion until finally she managed to whisper, "Do you have to be so cruel"

Just because she said she regretted provoking him at the time, he waited for the right moment and stabbed her in the heart.

Cao Fang stood beside, wanting to say something. Huo Mingzheng gave him a faint glance, and Cao Fang shut his mouth, lowering his head and taking a step back.

Huo Mingzheng got out of the car and stood before Fu Yan.

He was tall with long legs and broad shoulders, blocking most of the light and trapping Fu Yan in a confined space.

The coat draped over Fu Yan's shoulders. Huo Mingzheng didn't like to use perfume, and he would use essential oil to help him sleep at night, so there was a faint scent on his body that blended into the fabric of his clothes.

The smell of rouge is something Fu Yan knows all too well.

Clear and tranquil, bringing a sense of peace.

To tell the truth, it was her weakness. Smelling this scent brought an overwhelming urge to cry; tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced them back.

Her long, slender fingers parted the long hair from her neck.

"Are you hurt" The man frowned, his gaze falling on her neck and hands.

The female officer had already given Fu Yan a simple treatment, she had bandages on, and there was blood seeping through. She was fair-skinned, it was quite shocking to see.

Fu Yan dodged his hand, wanting to take her clothes off.

Ho Mingzheng immediately held her, his voice cold: "Are you sure you want to cause a scene here with me"

"General Huo, don't say things so ambiguously. Someone who doesn't know us might think we have some kind of relationship." Fu Yan pressed her face without expression and struggled to break free.

Ho Mingzheng simply took her finger, looked down at her, and said sarcastically, "As siblings, I'm just handling family affairs."

Fu Yan's hand froze, her face turning away.

At this time, a Land Rover drove over.

The car had just stopped, and a tall man in fencing gear jumped out of the driver's seat. His hair was a mess from being flattened by his helmet during practice, but it didn't detract from his handsome features.

"Fu Xiaoyan, how did you get into the police station" The man shouted before even getting close.

Ji Lin, Fu Yan's childhood friend, is a wealthy second-generation who dreams of becoming an Olympic fencing champion. The two have known each other since elementary school and their relationship is stronger than that of brothers.

Walked up, saw that she was hurt, Ji Lin's face changed immediately, "Who did this"

Throughout the entire time, she didn't look at Huo Mingzheng's face, as if he didn't exist.

"Attempted rape." Fu Yan was calm.

Ji Lin took a deep breath, his face darkening. "Which bastard!"

He shot a glare at Huo Mingzheng, his eyes cold and menacing. Of course, he knew it couldn't be Huo Mingzheng.

"How could she possibly have brought him here He's just a baby, dear."

Only Ji Lin knew about the relationship between Fu Yan and him. Hearing that Fu Yan was in trouble, seeing Huo Mingzheng here only made him angrier.

Fu Yan tugged at him, worried that he would clash with Huo Mingzheng, and said, "I stabbed the other party."

"Are you dead"

Fu Yan shook her head, "The police said the injuries weren't serious."

Ji Lin showed a look of pity, "Why don't you strike harder Are you scared stiff and out of strength"

"He said, pulling up Fu Yan's injured hand, "Does it hurt"

"It doesn't hurt, it's medicated." Fu Yan followed the flow and pulled her hand out of Huo Mingzheng's grip. "Send me back, I don't want to stay here anymore."

Ji Lin nodded. "Alright, I'll take you home first, then go find that bastard and settle the score!"

His eyes fell on the clothes Fu Yan was wearing, and he let out a scoff: "What kind of man's clothes do you dare to wear"

Saying that, she directly pulled off Huo Mingzheng's coat and tossed it to Cao Fang beside her. Then, she wrapped herself in the blanket she had brought down from the car.

Cao Fang took the coat like a hot potato, not daring to look at Huo Mingzheng's face.

Ji Lin patted Fu Yan's shoulder, giving her a sense of security, and then slowly raised his eyes, "Mr. Huo, thank you for taking the time to come here. Now that I am by Fu Yan's side, you can go back."

Huo Mingzheng's gaze swept across his hand on Fu Yan's shoulder, his eyes clear. "Even if you're busy, can it be busier than your competition training Here with Fu Yan, you don't need to interfere."

Ji Linhe chuckled and walked forward slowly, "That's definitely still more busy than Mr. Huo. I heard that Mr. Huo is almost engaged, and he has to go to the police station at night. If this gets out, it wouldn't be appropriate, would it"

"We, Xiaoyan, are very concerned about our image."

This statement almost called him Huo Mingzheng shameless.

Fu Yan knew that Ji Lin was standing up for her, but she didn't want Ji Lin to provoke Huo Mingzheng. What if Huo Mingzheng got angry and made him incomparable

I reached out to grab his sleeve, but my hand trembled violently, and cold sweat poured down my face.

She felt dizzy as soon as she came out. She knew she was exhausted, and the wind made her feel unsteady on her feet.

Before, when talking to Huo Mingzheng, I was putting on a brave face. Now, waves of dizziness are sweeping over me.

My vision turned black. I only heard Ji Lin shout "Yan'er" before losing consciousness completely.

Ji Lin missed, and Fu Yan fell steadily into Huo Mingzheng's arms.

The man crossed his arms.

Huo Mingzheng's eyes were sharp, like a sharp blade, piercing the air and startling Ji Lin from trying to snatch Fu Yan away. in his neck. It was Chen Rang who bit him.She couldn't even scream for help. Chen Rang's hand came around from behind and covered her mouth.There was a buzzing in her ears, and faintly she heard the...
