Chapter 9

"He called her a foodie, then suddenly his gaze lingered.The lighting in the underground garage was dimmer than indoors, and the environment was vast and gloomy. If you weren't standing close by, some...The doctor gave Fu Yan a full physical examination.

Drawing back the curtain, I looked at the tall man standing on the couch in front of him. After taking a deep breath, I walked over with the nurse’s accompaniment.

This is the Huo family's hospital, Huo Mingzheng is their big boss, doctors know this.

This man was young, barely over thirty when he took over the Huo family. He was noble and powerful, with an aura that intimidated everyone. He gave off a vibe of being unapproachable, scaring many people away.

When he brought the woman in just now, his face was grim, really scary.

"Mr. Huo, the check-up is done. There are no other injuries. It's due to extreme mental stress that caused exhaustion and he fell asleep."

Huo Mingzheng hummed in response, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he glanced at Fu Yan's disheveled face. Her hair was messy, and there were tear marks on her cheeks.

The nurse reapplied medicine to the wounds on my neck and hands, and put on fresh bandages.

She slept soundly, her chest rising and falling gently. The commotion around her had no effect on her whatsoever.

Fu Yan is not an easy person to trust. She has a personality that lacks security from a young age. Who gave her a sense of security at this moment, allowing her to fall asleep without any defenses

Ji Lin heard nothing was wrong, and wanted to go over and take Fu Yan away, but Cao Fang stopped him with a hand. "Young Master Ji, Mr. Huo hasn't spoken yet."

"Well, should our family's payment to Fuyan still have to be made by him" Ji Lin coldly swept his gaze over them.

"Yes." Cao Fang replied respectfully, his expression solemn and composed, not giving anything away.

Just as Ji Lin was about to get angry and push Cao Fang away, Cao Fang reminded him, "There's a World Championship in a week. Are you sure you want to fight me, Ji Shao If you hurt your hand, it will affect the competition."

"Threaten me, do you"

Ji Lin takes this competition very seriously, the fact that he's still practicing in the arena this late shows how much he wants a gold medal to prove himself.

He ripped his gloves off and flung them to the side. “Let me put it this way, you guys wasted my hand today, and I’m taking Fu Yan away with me.”

"Ho Mingzheng, don't push me to say things too harshly. In a month, you're getting engaged. Don't ruin Fu Yan's reputation."

"Her." Ji Lin pointed at Fu Yan lying peacefully on the hospital bed, fast asleep. Just thinking about it made him feel sorry for her.

You know how much she's hurting, stop adding insult to injury.

Ji Lin knew better than anyone how much Fu Yan liked Huo Mingzheng. From the moment she first fell for him and shared her secrets with Ji Lin, he had started to feel sorry for her carefulness.

If it weren't for the fact that she liked Huo Mingzheng so much, he would have fought Huo Mingzheng to defend his brother.

Cao Fang still wanted to stop Ji Lin, but Huo Mingzheng strode over and picked up Fu Yan, holding her in his arms.

Fu Yan's soft little face was pressed against his chest, completely unaware of what had happened.

He turned to look at Ji Lin, his voice cold and warning: "She's from the Huo family, don't call her 'your Fu Yan'"

Ji Lin's chest felt tight with frustration. "That's all he heard after I spoke for so long!"

Seeing him about to take Fu Yan away, Ji Lin urgently shouted: " Huo Mingzheng, you..."

"Mr. Ji, President Huo wouldn't harm Miss Fu," Cao Fang stopped him, one hand seemingly casually resting on his wrist, but in reality, he secretly exerted force without causing any harm.

By the time he broke free from Cao Fang, Huo Mingzheng's carriage had already left.

Behind him, Cao Fang was eyeing him hungrily, wary of him chasing after.

"Alas..." Ji Lin rubbed his messy hair and sighed at the night sky, "Yan'er, how did you end up with such a man. May fortune favor you."

......

Fu Yan slept until the afternoon of the second day before waking up. Her whole body ached as if it had been crushed by a heavy object, she was almost falling apart.

She rolled over and almost died of pain.

It took her a while to remember what happened last night. These aches and pains were from the several times she had bumped into the door.

After the ordeal, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Reached for the cell phone on the bedside table, just about to call Ji Lin when the phone rang. It was Ji Lin calling.

"Yan'er, are you awake"

"Hmm," Fu Yan gave a nasal hum.

Where are you now

Fu Yan was a little confused, "Didn't you just send me back home"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone. Ji Lin said something that Fu Yan didn't understand, "At least he still has some conscience."

Before she could ask, Ji Lin asked her, "Are you hungry I'm packing food for you. Wait for me ten more minutes."

After saying that, Qi Lin hung up the phone.

No wonder it was so noisy over there, he was packing things.

Fu Yan took her phone and rolled over, almost in excruciating pain again, but she still gritted her teeth and sat up.

The blanket slipped off, and she was wearing pajamas. She was taken aback.

Although she and Ji Lin are siblings, Ji Lin still knows his limits. He wouldn't be able to do something like helping her change clothes.

She was puzzled, got up and opened the door to her room.

The entrance hall is clean and tidy.

Last night was a complete mess.

Even this young master, Ji Lin, wouldn't be capable of such a thing.

Recalling what Ji Lin had said on the phone, she immediately understood.

He Mingzheng sent her back.

Her thoughts started churning again, and she couldn't hold back her emotions any longer. Her nose felt a little sour.

Last night she wanted to ask him, with a cold stare from the side, what if Chen Rang violated her

Now that I think about it, I'm glad I didn't ask. It would have been embarrassing for me.

None of this matters, what's important is that Huo Mingzheng wants to teach her a lesson.

>The season of autumn arrived soon.

Before coming to Nancheng, Fu Yan lived in Guangcheng. After all these years, she still loves the snacks from Guangcheng and can't forget her father. She cherishes her memories of him this way.

Ji Lin bought everything that Fu Yan liked to eat. Her appetite wasn't good, so she only ate a little bit, while Ji Lin drank plain water beside her.

He is an athlete and doesn't easily touch things outside of his sport.

"Chen Rang's injuries have been assessed, you were acting in self-defense." Ji Lin picked up his chopsticks and put a dumpling into her bowl.

Fu Yan nodded. She had a good idea of what was going on.

"Now that it's been verified, what happens next has nothing to do with you." Ji Lin put down his water bottle, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

Fu Yan was stunned. This was Ji Lin's expression when he wanted to do something bad, "What do you want to do"

"Nothing much, I originally wanted to beat him up, but there were policemen around, so I couldn't be too obvious. I just had someone put something in his food, making him lie in bed and experience the feeling of desperately needing to go to the toilet. He probably went ten times that day, pulling at his abdominal wound every time he went. It should have been fun for him."

Fu Yan couldn't help but laugh, thinking of that scene. A mischievous smile spread across her face, "Then you have to be ruthless, make him both suffer and regret it."

Seeing her smile, Ji Lin let out a sigh of relief. He was afraid she would be so scared that she couldn't breathe.

He then told Fu Yan another piece of good news.

"The police started investigating him, digging up his whole past. This piece of trash has a history of crimes; he's probably going to spend the next decade or so in jail."

The police wouldn't investigate easily, the Chen family was well-connected, and if they wanted to protect themselves, there were ways. Fu Yan knew this all too well.

"You spoke" The Ji family's influence was far greater than the Chen family's.

Ji Lin shook her head. "I was just thinking that, someone kicked me from the front."

"Who"

Ji Lin looked at her with a meaningful expression.nch of her skin.He was the one who pushed her into the abyss with his own hands.The disgust and rejection in her eyes were clearly reflected in Huo Mingzheng's."What is Huo Zong doing" Fu Yan was very...
