Chapter Seventy-Eight: Only Officials Are Allowed to Set Fires

Sang Ruo looked at Liang Yuxin in the mirror, and her expression suddenly darkened.

Some even suspected that Liang Yuxin had drugged her.

"Miss Sang, how did you get these hickeys? Did something happen between you and some man at the banquet last night? No wonder the door was locked when Jin Zhou and I went to knock on your room..."

Sang Ruo turned around and glared at her instantly: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Liang Yuxin walked around to her side, reached out her slender hand, lifted the ends of her hair, and then carefully looked at the hickeys on her neck.

Her tone was utterly cold: "Miss Sang, then tell me, what's with these hickeys? Jin Zhou was with me all yesterday, and after the banquet, he went straight home. These hickeys definitely couldn't have been left by him..."

Sang Ruo's hands, which were placed at her sides, suddenly clenched slightly.

Her face turned cold, and she exuded a chilling aura: "Yesterday's events were your doing."

She quickly turned around to face the woman in front of her.

A fleeting look of tension crossed Liang Yuxin's face.

Although she had managed to hide her nervousness, Sang Ruo still noticed it.

She became even more convinced of her inner thoughts: what happened yesterday was definitely related to her.

"I'm not quite sure what you're talking about."

“Someone drugged my drink yesterday. I started feeling unwell after drinking that beverage. It was either you or Zhong Yating who did it.” Sang Ruo’s eyes flashed with anger: “But you’re here so early in the morning, so I think it’s more likely that you are.”

Liang Yuxin's brows furrowed slightly: "I didn't do such a thing. Don't make false accusations. I already said I was just passing by, so I came in to see you out of kindness."

"But in my impression, Miss Liang is not a kind person. It's already quite kind of you not to plot against me, so why would you come all the way to see me?"

The anger in her eyes grew even stronger.

"You keep saying it's me, then show me the evidence. You're just making baseless accusations without any proof. Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Liang Yuxin's voice suddenly rose a notch.

“I will continue to investigate this matter. If I find out that you were the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, do you think I will continue to swallow my anger like I did three years ago?”

A crimson aura emanated from the corners of Sang Ruo's upturned eyes.

Liang Yuxin, however, spoke slowly and deliberately: "Miss Sang, what I'm more curious about is, who exactly was the man you had relations with last night?"

When Sang Ruo raised her eyelids, she saw a half-smile in her eyes.

Sang Ruo didn't respond to her words, but pointed towards the door: "Please leave immediately, I need to start working, don't linger here and interfere with my work!"

Liang Yuxin's smile deepened: "If you don't tell me, then I'll tell Jinzhou and let Jinzhou investigate for you."

Without waiting for Sang Ruo to respond, she quickly turned around, opened the door, and left.

Sang Ruo turned to look at herself in the mirror, her whole body trembling with anger.

She placed both hands on the side of the sink, and her fingertips were turning slightly white from the excessive force.

It seems this matter can no longer be kept secret.

Despite all the precautions, I still slipped up.

Sang Ruo found a silk scarf and completely covered the hickeys on her neck before officially starting to see patients.

There were still many patients today, and we were busy until the afternoon before we could stop.

As evening fell, a familiar figure suddenly burst in.

"This patient, may I ask you..."

When Chen Wuye saw the man approaching, his expression suddenly darkened, and his voice abruptly stopped.

Bo Jinzhou glanced at the lobby of the clinic and then fixed his gaze on Chen Wuye: "Where is Sang Ruo?"

Chen Wuye pointed to the treatment room: "Organize the medical equipment inside."

Bo Jinzhou strode away silently toward the treatment room.

"Clatter—"

The sound of a door opening caught Sang Ruo's attention.

She had just turned to look at the doorway when she was met with the man's extremely cold and sinister face.

Bo Jinyan called her a minute earlier to ask about Song Linlin's situation that day.

Before the call was even disconnected, Bo Jinzhou walked in.

"Bang--"

With a loud bang, he slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside.

The man strode forward, snatched her phone, and slammed it face down on the table.

His attention was entirely focused on Sang Ruo, and he had no idea that the call was from Bo Jinyan.

"What are you doing? Give me back my phone!"

Sang Ruo tried to snatch the phone, intending to hang up first.

But the man's hand was pressed directly on the phone, while his other hand gripped her arm tightly: "Who was the man you slept with last night?"

Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo's heart leaped into her throat.

It seems that Liang Yuxin has already told him about it.

"I didn't sleep with anyone else."

Sang Ruo responded concisely and without the slightest hesitation.

"I was wondering why we couldn't open our room door yesterday. Turns out you were messing around with some other guy!"

Bo Jinzhou sat on the table, his long legs slightly apart, and in an instant pulled her in, then imprisoned her between his thighs.

"Which eye of yours saw me messing around with other people?"

Sang Ruo raised her eyes and looked at him with a cold expression.

Bo Jinzhou reached out and pulled off her silk scarf, revealing the deep and shallow kiss marks that instantly caught his eye.

Sang Ruo was completely unprepared for him to suddenly tug at her scarf.

"If you haven't been messing around, then explain to me what these hickeys on your neck are?"

Sang Ruo's heart leaped into her throat as she saw the ruthless look in the man's eyes.

It must have been Liang Yuxin stirring things up behind her back. She probably didn't mention that someone else drugged her; she only said that she might have had a relationship with someone else.

Sang Ruo didn't know what the person who drugged her was planning.

The only certainty is that the other party simply wanted Bo Jinzhou to know about this matter.

Therefore, Liang Yuxin is the most likely candidate.

It's possible they wanted to push things along behind the scenes and force them to divorce completely.

The man stretched out his well-defined knuckles and grabbed her neck, squeezing it tightly.

His voice grew increasingly deep: "Speak!"

When Sang Ruo saw him like this, all she could think of were images of him and Liang Yuxin together, and she suddenly felt like teasing him.

"What?" She gave a nonchalant smile. "Is President Bo saying 'the officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps'?"
