lower lip as if punishing her."Ugh..." She dodged, covering her lower lip, eyes misty with accusation.Damn it!"Curse me" Huo Mingzheng's voice was even huskier, his gaze falling on her lips. He gripp...That Huo Mingzheng's hand bore a wound...

Ho Mingzheng loosened his grip on her and turned away from the hospital bed.

After a while, Cao Fang knocked and came in, offering Fu Yan a cup of warm water. He glanced at the pot of congee that hadn't been touched much.

He couldn't be bothered with that anymore and reminded, "Mr. Huo personally picked out the fish from the supermarket, it's very fresh. You should eat more."

Her eyes flickered.

Cao Fang administered a dose of harsh medicine, "Just now I overheard some of your 'chat,' Mr. Huo has done enough for you, shouldn't that outweigh what he said"

"Don't forget, back in the Drunken Heaven tavern, it was Mr. Huo who blocked Chen Shu's sword and saved your life. He hasn't fully recovered yet, you know. Yesterday he was slicing fish in the kitchen himself, and his knife skills weren't quite there yet."

"Mr. Huo and Miss Li's situation is rather complicated, I don't know much about it myself, but Mr. Huo truly cares for you."

"I've said everything I needed to say. Get some rest."

Cao Fang opened the door and walked out. When he saw the man smoking at the end of the corridor, his heart skipped a beat.

He walked over and respectfully said, "Mr. Huo."

Ho Mingzheng slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, blurring the agitation between his brows, "How long have you been in there"

"Cao Fang remained impassive as Miss Bangfu took something."

Ho Mingzheng's face was very bad. "You call what I just said to her a 'chat'"

Cao Fang let out a surprised exclamation in his heart. Sure enough, Huo Zong had heard him. He shouldn't have been so lucky. "Huo Zong..."

"What's the point of saying so much to a snake in the grass"

......

A European manor, a man in a black suit got out of the car and hurried into the door. He went upstairs and walked deep into the corridor, stopping in front of a door and knocking on it.

The door creaked open.

The room was dark, the curtains drawn all around, only a sliver of light piercing in from the doorway.

But he knew someone was in the room.

"Mr. Kevin, I found the woman named Fu Yan."

“Oh” A flash of crimson flickered in the corner.

Kevin casually flicked his cigarette butt onto the expensive Persian rug and crushed it with the bottom of his shoe, "Where's it at"

The assistant replied, "At the University Hospital of Zurich, with Ho Mingzheng. I only know he's hospitalized, but not his specific condition."

A sinister chuckle.

"Well then, the game will be even more fun. Send some people out and invite Fu Yan over to play too."

"Yes."

Kevin reminded him, "Ho Mingzheng must be wary of me. There are our people at the Zurich Hospital. With some means, I will definitely get my revenge."

After the assistant left, the room fell dark again.

Kevin nonchalantly polished his lighter, the flame flickering to life. The woman in the corner paled.

It flickered and went out, inexplicably instilling a profound sense of fear.

Kevin persisted, "Miss Li, are you looking forward to meeting Fu Yan You're getting married to Huo Mingzheng, but she has a relationship with him that goes beyond cousins. You must hate her, right"

Li Qin knelt on the ground with her hands tied behind her back, in a humiliating posture.

Kevin forcibly taped her mouth shut.

The tape stuck tightly from her left cheek to her right, constricting her entire face as if someone were squeezing it with their fingers. She couldn't speak, only managing muffled whimpers of resistance.

Kevin walked over and squatted in front of her, gently patting her cheek. "It seems you were just as eager as I was,"y, "A-zheng can't let go of me. You look like him, I understand him, but these two years of you being my substitute have been really hard on you."Fu Yan clenched her fingers tightly, her face visibly...
