Chapter 229: Fall

"But Xu Xiaolin is different. I understand how she feels. It was me who caused all this, and that's why she wanted to push me into the abyss. This cause and effect is related to me, and it's also related to you. We should bear the responsibility."

Jian Mo was very calm. Even in such a situation, she could still analyze the situation objectively, which showed that she still had her sanity. But judging from Huo Qichen's expression, he would not let Fei Yue or Xu Xiaolin go easily.

Huo Qichen had a cold face and glanced at her with an almost murderous look!

"You say it so easily. Do you know how easy it is for this guy named Hu to kill someone? If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago, in a remote wilderness unknown to me. There are many ways to die, it's not that easy. Aren't you afraid of pain the most? Why aren't you afraid now?"

Jian Mo was stunned by the question, her body still shaking. Facing Huo Qichen's anger, she looked a little dazed.

Huo Qichen only felt his heart ache even more. He reached out and held her tightly in his arms: "Don't worry about others, and don't make me worry anymore."

If you listen carefully, you can hear fear in his voice.

If he hadn't asked her to go to the auction, this situation wouldn't have happened. Huo Qi Chen regretted it very much. Perhaps staying with him would be doomed to be surrounded by dangers.

Jian Mo's mood was very complicated. Huo Qichen like this was completely different from the cold and indifferent Huo Qichen she had met in previous times.

It was as if the indifference was shattered.

She calmed down in his arms, and she quickly regained her senses and calmed down.

"Where's the medicine I asked you to brew for me when I left?"

The man's body stiffened. Wen Yuan had misunderstood the bowl of medicine and had poured it into the flowerpot. He took a deep breath and said, "It's probably cold now. I'll have someone stew it for you again when I get home, okay?"

Jian Mo just lay obediently in his arms and said softly, "My stomach hurts."

In fact, a big part of the reason why Mr. Hu failed to succeed recently was because she was having her period, and he blocked the disaster for her and delayed the time.

On the way back, Jian Mo looked at Huo Qichen's almost pale face and hesitated several times before finally asking, "If you offend a person like that, what will happen to the Huo family in the future?"

Finally, I remembered that in Huo Qichen's world, things that can be solved with interests and money are nothing.

As expected, he smiled suddenly: "Are you worried about me?"

Jian Mo turned her face away.

"Don't worry about the aftermath of this matter. I will take care of it. You didn't come here today, and neither did I. If he falls tomorrow, it will only be because of his greed. Do you understand?"

In just a few words, Huo Qichen spoke without any warmth, and Jian Mo shuddered for no reason.

She broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Back at the hotel, Huo Qi Chen made her some brown sugar water, which tasted a bit bitter.

Her stomach ached, a rare pain she had never experienced before. She couldn't even sleep. After taking a shower, Jian Mo thought it would be better to go to the small room to rest.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the room, I ran into the man coming out of the study: "What are you going to do?"

Jian Mo lowered her head in embarrassment, a blush running across her face.

Huo Qichen stared at her, then suddenly realized something and turned around: "Stay here."

When he came back, he was holding a basin of water. Jian Mo looked puzzled. He said coldly, "Sit down."

She smelled strongly of alcohol.

The door is closed, and the ambiguity in the room is reborn, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Huo Qichen squatted down and placed Jian Mo's feet in the water. "Old Sun taught me."

Lao Sun had just finished an operation when he received a call from an old friend: "Lao Sun, what's the most effective way to relieve menstrual pain?"

He asked seriously. Old Sun blinked, looking confused. "Say it again."

The man on the other end of the phone was three parts cold and seven parts abstinent, and he repeated it patiently.

Old Sun understood. He smiled playfully and said, "Is it possible that I'm a surgeon, not a gynecologist?"

“…They’re all doctors.”

Old Sun laughed heartily, "You are in a good mood."

"If brown sugar water doesn't work, use wine. Pour half a bottle of wine into the water and soak your feet for half an hour."

Huo Qichen really believed it and frowned slightly: "What kind of wine is okay?"

"The higher the alcohol content, the better, trust me."

Huo Qi Chen believed it.

Jian Mo, who had probably guessed the purpose, felt a bit of a headache. As a woman, she had never heard of such a method before.

But she didn't dare to refuse, so she could only hold her stomach and soak for half an hour.

Huo Qichen was sitting on the balcony, working on his computer. He looked at his watch and walked into the room. "Are you feeling better?"

No.

Jian Mo stood up, poured out the water in the basin, opened the window to ventilate, and the smell of alcohol filled the entire room.

She asked, "What kind of wine did you pour?"

She was not very knowledgeable, but judging from the smell of the wine, it must be very expensive.

He gave it to her...to soak her feet.

Huo Qi Chen didn't answer. He stood there and looked at where she had sat.

Jian Mo looked over, her eyes stung, she screamed, and ran over to block his sight, "I, I didn't mean it!"

A "little red flower" suddenly bloomed on the bed sheet.

Her face turned even redder. Jian Mo was annoyed when she saw the man's mouth curled up beautifully, as if to tease her.

"Don't look!" Jian Mo got so excited that she covered his eyes with her hands. "You're so annoying!"

The man smiled and paused, then grabbed her wrist, pressed it with his backhand, and pushed her straight onto the bed.

He kissed her lips and rubbed them tightly, completely ignoring her shyness.

In the end, she curled up in his arms, her eyes full of tears and fear of today.

The man said in a low and hoarse voice in her ear: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all over, I'm here, don't cry."

Jian Mo's heart skipped a beat, and tears slid into her hair and disappeared without a trace.

The smell of alcohol in the air is intoxicating.

After the auction, Jian Mo and Huo Qi Chen returned to Mingyuan together, and soon, news about the man surnamed Hu also spread.

Jian Mo had a premonition that his end would not be good, because recently Huo Qichen's secretary was poached by various bigwigs and the promised salaries were exorbitant, just because his efficiency as a deputy was at the peak. Who wouldn't want such a loyal and talented assistant?

In just one night, the notice regarding Hu came down. If it had been faster, the news of his downfall would probably have been seen on tonight's evening news.

As soon as Jian Mo was taken away, evidence of his corruption was presented overnight without any mercy. It was a special period and he was directly arrested as an example. He will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Everyone knows about this gray area, and no one would make enemies by exposing it. But now looking at the intensity of the exposure, it seems like an irreconcilable feud, so everyone knows that they have offended someone.

Such a big thing was enough to spark a wide range of discussion and could not be concealed. However, within one night, everyone knew that it was Huo Qichen who did it.
