Inside the boxing gym.

Nangong Jue went berserk, beating down both bodyguards before he was satisfied. In the end, the bodyguard leader, Black Hawk, had to step in himself, but even he could only manage a draw against his crazed boss.

They continued fighting like this for almost an hour until both of them were clearly exhausted, at which point they stopped and collapsed on the platform.

Of course, both of them were injured to varying degrees.

However, both of them were quite sensible and neither of them hit the other in the face; all the injuries were hidden from view.

After venting his frustrations, Nangong Jue felt much better. He then took off his boxing gloves and walked outside, saying, "You guys get double your bonuses this month, but your kung fu needs improvement." If he can't even beat him, how can he protect him?

The two bodyguards breathed a sigh of relief. The boss was really too ruthless, but beating him up would earn them an extra 100,000 yuan, so it was worth it. But that last sentence... it seems they still need to work harder on their skills.

Black Hawk paused for a moment, then quickly got up and followed him out; he still had to drive his boss home.

Le Yao and Qiao Qiao ate and drank until the early hours of the morning before finally falling asleep. When Le Yao opened her eyes the next day, she found it was already past ten o'clock. She stretched and got up to go to the bathroom, grabbing her phone in the process.

Then I saw several missed calls, all from Qian Meiqi and a few others, and there were already 99+ messages in the "students' group," many of which were tagged with her.

Le Yao was a little confused. She had silenced her phone yesterday, so she hadn't heard anything. What big thing had happened?

After scrolling through the comments, I realized that she was trending again. The reason was that last night, Nangong Jue was seen carrying a woman out of a bar, behaving intimately. The woman appeared to be Yan Zimeng, a top celebrity in the entertainment industry.

Of course, it doesn't matter, but someone just had to bring up Han Binglan again.

Then, netizens started to imagine the love-hate relationship between the three of them again, which was as dramatic as an 8 PM soap opera.

To be honest, she was just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

However, judging from the comments, some netizens criticized her for overestimating herself, but most people sympathized with her, which is a good sign.

Just then, the phone rang; it was Qian Meiqi calling.

"Sister Lan, you finally answered the phone! Did you see the messages we sent?" Qian Meiqi fired off her questions in rapid succession the moment Le Yao answered the phone.

"I just saw it." Le Yao wasn't in a hurry.

"Why aren't you worried at all?" Qian Meiqi's voice rose.

"What's there to be anxious about?" Le Yao smiled. "Let them say what they want, it's not like I'll lose a piece of my flesh... But Miss Qian, aren't you in love with Nangong Jue? Why are you getting anxious for me?"

"Can we not talk about this anymore?" Qian Meiqi rolled her eyes while holding the phone. "I'm on your side now, even Lord Jue has to take a backseat. Besides, now there's a green tea bitch, we have to keep dealing with her."

"You deal with it, I'm too lazy to go." Le Yao hurriedly shook her head. "They're childhood sweethearts, destined lovers, what are we going to deal with? We might as well eat and drink something instead, what do you think? Besides, there aren't any three-legged toads in this world, but there are plenty of two-legged men. I'm good-looking, rich, and have a great figure, why should I cling to that crooked tree?"
