Chapter Thirty-Three: Emerging from the Dragon's Den only to fall into the Tiger's Lair

Upon entering the hotel lobby, Wen Jin helped Lin Zhiying register and obtained her press pass, then ignored her completely.

Her immediate priority was to tidy up her appearance.

She hadn't intended to use Xu Xiangbai's room card, but when Wen Jin went to book a room herself, she was told that due to the charity gala, the Bo'an Hotel was fully booked.

Wen Jin had no choice but to press the elevator button to the top floor.

The top floor is full of ultra-luxury rooms that cost a fortune per night, and she only used it to organize her clothes, which seems like making a mountain out of a molehill.

Wen Jin also found the room corresponding to the room card.

The room card was stuck to the door and made a "click" sound.

A slit of light popped out.

Wen Jin had just grasped the doorknob when she faintly heard the sound of water coming from inside.

"Who?" The clear, cold voice was devoid of any warmth.

Wen Jin was also startled; her slender high heels wobbled slightly, and she took a few small steps back.

How come Fu Yanjing is in the room key that Xu Xiangbai gave her?

Wen Jin didn't know why she was panicking. She just felt that if Fu Yanjing came over at this moment, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she had a thousand mouths.

The sound of water stopped.

Before the bathroom door was pushed open, Wen Jin took off her high heels and practically ran away.

The elevator was on the first floor, and she couldn't wait, so she ran to the fire escape.

Because she didn't want Fu Yanjing to see her.

At this moment, her awareness of being detected reached its peak, and she even carefully closed the doors to the fire escape.

Wen Jin was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she could faintly hear voices coming from downstairs.

"I've managed to get Fu Yanjing's room key from Young Master Xu."

"You'll be lying on Fu Yanjing's bed then. The medicine I bought is very potent; I guarantee he won't be able to resist you once he sees you!"

These words shocked Wen Jin, whose almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise.

Having just escaped one danger's den, she has now entered another. What treacherous words did she overhear?

The people downstairs were completely unaware that their loud, secret conversation had been overheard by a third person.

They even gloated over their treacherous schemes.

"I'll toast Fu Yanjing first, and after he drinks it, I'll arrange for a waiter to accidentally soil his clothes. He'll definitely come up. Sister, as long as you sleep with him, any benefit you can get from him will be enough to make our family rich and powerful."

Wen Jin also clutched her pounding heart, afraid that the sound of her heartbeat would betray her.

She was young and didn't want to be killed to silence her.

Knowing full well that turning around and walking away when the other person isn't looking, getting away from this quagmire is the best course of action.

But Wen Jin still pressed herself tightly against the wall, cautiously peering down through the gaps in the stair railing.

Due to the angle, she couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

All that could be seen was a man wearing a blue suit, with what appeared to be a jarring scar on his brow bone.

*

In the restroom, Wen Jin also tidied her clothes briefly.

She washed her fingertips with lukewarm water again and again, but her mind was still in turmoil.

They were even still shaken.

My mind is in turmoil.

Should we meddle in other people's business?

How can you meddle in other people's business?

Without any evidence, her attempt to remind Fu Yanjing would likely only earn her his cold mockery.

They might even ask condescending questions:

What new method is this that attracts him?

Wen Jin thought about it for a while, and when she returned to the hall, the charity gala was about to begin.

The huge hall was packed with people, filled with conversation and pleasantries. Wen Jin looked around, but couldn't find a man in a blue suit for the time being.

Who on earth is so bold as to plot against Fu Yanjing?

She still couldn't stand idly by.

The host gracefully took to the stage, and the large screen behind her lit up, signifying that the charity gala was about to begin.

The inner gate opened, and Fu Yanjing strode in, his figure tall and upright.

It instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The sound of camera shutters clicking incessantly.

Staff members guided the guests and reporters to their seats one by one.

Wen Jin was also sitting in the last row, so it was difficult for her to even look Fu Yanjing in the eye, let alone tell him about it.

He gracefully took his seat on the platform. Xu Xiangbai immediately noticed the impatience beneath Fu Yanjing's cold expression and leaned over to ask, "Are you on fire? Who upset you?"

Fu Yanjing scoffed, "What kind of security do you have at your hotel?"

I don't know which business partner flattered him so much that they actually had the wicked idea of ​​putting women in his mouth.

Xu Xiangbai looked completely bewildered.

May Heaven judge the loyal from the treacherous!

Their hotel is one of the best in the world, and their security system is top-notch.

As the sole heir to the Xu Group, Xu Xiangbai vowed to defend the integrity of his businesses to the death. "Brother Jing, what are you saying?!"

Fu Yanjing was lazy and ignored him.

The charity gala officially began.

Several organizers' spokespeople took turns on stage to speak, and the whole process, including the Q&A and interview sessions, became quite lengthy.

Wen Jin also stood up in the middle of the interview and asked a few questions randomly.

The last person to come on stage was wearing a blue suit and had a clear scar on his brow bone.

Wen Jin's eyes widened instantly—

That's him.

Just then, Lin Zhiying listlessly held up an interview sign.

However, since there was only one press pass hanging around Wen Jinye's neck, the staff handed the microphone to Wen Jinye.

Wen Jin had no choice but to get up. The man's scheming and his charming appearance were fighting each other in Wen Jin's mind. Her left and right brains were in a fierce battle, and she was also a little slow to react.

Wen Jin wasn't sure if the man had seen her in that glance.

She could only feign composure and ask the question.

The man gave a polite reply.

It's completely different from the stairwell.

Wen Jin also kept her head down and spoke in a low voice, afraid of meeting the man's scrutinizing gaze.

This action seemed unremarkable to outsiders.

Xu Xiangbai had met Wen Jinye several times before and was familiar with Wen Jinye's work style.

She has always been poised, generous, and decisive.

There are very few moments like this, when things are handled with such tact.

Looking back from the front, he could only see the woman's slightly evasive gaze.

Like a blush.

Xu Xiangbai smiled and shared with Fu Yanjing next to him, "People say that Zhang Yan's mature charm is very attractive to women. I didn't believe it at first, but look, even Reporter Wen is blushing."

"However, the Zhang family must be having a tough time lately. Their tiny company is embroiled in internal strife and financial difficulties. Nobody is having an easy time right now."

Fu Yanjing glanced at it casually, "Don't know me, so be it."

“Brother Jing is as handsome as Pan An, so I naturally think he’s just average, but I’ve heard that that type of man is popular now.”

Xu Xiangbai pointed behind him, "And did you see the reporters raising their hands behind you? They're all women."

Fu Yanjing loosened his tie, and for some reason, he felt very displeased with Xu Xiangbai.

"Are you so free all the time? Not satisfied with the beautiful women around you, you've started looking for men?"

Xu Xiangbai's face paled instantly, and she deliberately spoke in a disgusting tone, "What are you saying, Brother Jing? You're the only one in my heart!"

Fu Yanjing replied impatiently, "Xu Xiangbai, if you keep coming over like a sissy, I'll buy you sanitary napkins next month."

Xu Xiangbai immediately became serious, "I'm a pure straight man."

Fu Yanjing was not interested and did not care about Xu Xiangbai's true sexual orientation.

He turned halfway around, his slightly gloomy gaze landing directly on Wen Jinye's face.

For some reason, that half of my face started to ache again.
