Gan Tang blinked her sore eyes, endured for a long time, and gradually realized: "You think I'm bullying the people in the company?"

Mo Huaixing remained silent.

Gan Tang retorted angrily, "Yes, I am bullying them. If they can bully me, why can't I bully them?"

"Of course you can." Mo Huaixing looked away and walked forward alone. That gaze was like a cold sword, piercing deep into his heart, causing it to bleed profusely.

It was a mutually beneficial transaction, so who cares what he thinks? Even so, Gan Tang couldn't help but block Mo Huaixing's path, biting her lip in grievance.

“You only see me bullying them, do you know how they bullied me? The proposal I wrote, the proposal I stayed up all night for a month to write, the proposal I spent 3,000 yuan on materials, was stolen by Lü Jiao, who made 20,000 yuan in commission, and I didn’t get a single penny.”

Do you know what three thousand yuan means to me?

My monthly salary was only six thousand yuan. After deducting insurance, rent, utilities, and public transportation costs, I was left with less than two thousand yuan. That month, I couldn't even afford instant noodles; I ate steamed buns for a whole month.

"Eating steamed buns is one thing, but the boss even called me stupid, said I deserved it, talked about survival of the fittest, and told me to adapt to the rules of society. What kind of bullshit rules of society are those? Does it mean whoever has more money can call a deer a horse, and whoever is more despicable will live better?"

"So now, you have more money and more resources. You can take revenge however you want."

What kind of look was that? Pity or contempt?

The alcohol rushed to her brain as she drank it, and Gan Tang raised an eyebrow triumphantly: "That's right, I'm happy when I see them hate me but have to fear me, fawning over me with fake smiles, begging me like lapdogs!"

"Are they afraid of you?" Mo Huaixing suddenly turned around, pressed Gan Tang against the white railing, and said in a low voice, "Lu Zhengqian asked you to acquire these three companies because he wanted you to willingly depend on him, submit to him, and thus never be able to leave him again!"

Gan Tang was bewildered: "That's my father, why should I leave him?"

"Father, you recognized me so quickly!" Mo Huaixing sneered and released his grip.

"What do you mean?"

The two stood on the bridge, their faces flushed red from the cold wind after drinking. Gan Tang pointed to her face and asked, "Look at my face now, doesn't it scream 'a petty person who has achieved success'? I am a petty person who has achieved success, are you satisfied now?"

"You flatter me, young lady!"

A cold snort.

Mo Huaixing reverted to his usual coldness and calmness, making himself look like a clown. Gan Tang angrily shoved him and said sarcastically, "If you're so principled and righteous, why don't you stay in Fu Cheng's bed? Two grown men, don't you find it disgusting?"

"I'm disgusting. Who was it that insisted on clinging to me in the first place?"

Mo Huaixing dodged her touch, and Gan Tang stumbled forward, almost falling.

"Get out, you can get out now." Gan Tang ran to the side of the road, flagged down a taxi, and drove away.

"Who cares about you?" Mo Huaixing turned and walked away angrily. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. A license plate flashing by caught his attention.

Oh no, it's a fake card!

Mo Huaixing turned and chased after the taxi, which turned onto a riverside path and disappeared. There wasn't a single taxi on the long bridge anymore, but there happened to be a row of shared bicycles. Mo Huaixing swatted one aside and sped after it.

The path following the river was shaded by greenery, winding and turning, with taxis appearing and disappearing intermittently. Suddenly, the sound stopped. Based on experience, I knew the car had stopped.

Mo Huaixing sped up to give chase, but unexpectedly, the taxi turned on its headlights, turned around, and sped towards him.

With a bang, the shared bicycle crashed into the embankment, its front wheel wobbling as it spun into the river. Mo Huaixing leaped into the grass. He flipped and jumped up, catching sight of two figures hiding behind the artificial hill in the roadside garden. The faint moonlight made the two figures look rather incongruous.

He quietly walked over and saw a man and a woman. The man was holding the woman against the artificial hill, kissing her urgently.

The woman pushed the man away forcefully, frantically trying to escape.

"I'm not, I'm not..."

It was Gantang's voice.

Mo Huaixing shoved the man to the ground, and just as the man was about to get up, he pressed one knee down on the man's stomach and swung his fist hard.

Just as Mo Huaixing's fist was about to strike, Gan Tang said urgently, "He's my boyfriend."

Mo Huaixing looked down and saw the man's face clearly; it was the same person he had met in the elevator.

Cao Yunbo stood up and staggered toward Gan Tang, his voice trembling with excitement: "Tang Tang, you've finally acknowledged me."

"I'm not you, you've mistaken me for someone else." But saying something like that now seems somewhat ridiculous.

Mo Huaixing stepped aside to block Gan Tang and stopped Cao Yunbo: "If you go any further, I will call the police. You should know what a crime kidnapping is."

"Tangtang, is it because of this man that you're pretending not to know me?"

Cao Yunbo's eyes were filled with hurt and grievance. Gan Tang suppressed her guilt and said coldly, "So what if it is? What have you done wrong..."

Before Gan Tang could finish speaking, Cao Yunbo threw a punch at Mo Huaixing's face, but Mo Huaixing caught it with one hand and shoved him away.

"Sizzle..."

Cao Yunbo crashed into a tree trunk, clutching his lower back as he slid to the ground.

"Why did you hit so hard?" Gan Tang looked at Mo Huaixing with dissatisfaction.

"I didn't use any force," Mo Huaixing replied calmly, pulling Gan Tang away.

"Tangtang, it hurts, it hurts..."

The voice was weak, as if the person would breathe their last at any moment. Gan Tang shook off Mo Huaixing's hand and went to help Cao Yunbo, only to find her hand covered in blood.

"Were you injured when you rescued me?"

"I was stabbed, but I'm fine," Cao Yunbo said weakly, shaking his head. But how could he be fine after losing so much blood? Gan Tang took out her phone and dialed for an ambulance.

"Don't make that call." Mo Huaixing snatched it away. It was such an important call; if he made it, Lu Zhengqian would definitely find out.

Gan Tang also realized what was happening: "Use yours!"

"Is mine any different?" The two had been together the whole time.

Gan Tang glanced at the vain Cao Yunbo, took out his phone, and dialed the emergency number. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the ambulance arrived with its lights on.

Before the ambulance arrived, Mo Huaixing reminded Gan Tang to leave.

Cao Yunbo weakly gripped Gan Tang's hand, refusing to let go, calling "Tang Tang" over and over again.

Gan Tang said coldly, "You should know very well who I am now. You are not good enough for me at all. After you are discharged from the hospital, resign from the Lu Group and then disappear far away from me, or else you will be sorry."

After saying that, Gan Tang pushed his hand away forcefully and left resolutely.

Cao Yunbo watched the two figures disappear into the distance, his eyes, once filled with love, now filled with hatred. He got up, walked to the trash can, touched the blood bag strapped to his lower back, and threw it into the trash can.
