But Lu Zongyan didn't care about all this. After he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to get off the stage, and then found an excuse to go to the bathroom and call Jian Ci.

Unfortunately, Jian Ci in the hotel had taken medicine and was sleeping very soundly, so she didn't hear anything at all.

This made Lu Zongyan very anxious.

Just as I was about to make the second call, a cold voice suddenly came from behind me, "Are you calling her?"

Lu Zongyan was so frightened that he almost dropped his phone. He stammered, "Fifth...Fifth Master..."

Qin Shizheng glanced at the number on the dial page on his screen and said indifferently, "No need to call. I'll go see her later."

Lu Zongyan subconsciously hid his phone behind his back, "What...what about her? I don't understand..."

Qin Shizheng didn't want to waste time with him, so he asked directly, "Where is Jian Ci?"

But in order to protect his master, Lu Zongyan decisively lied: "She didn't come. Didn't she say that the cooperation rate of Q10 has dropped and she is going on a business trip to renegotiate?"

Qin Shizheng's brows furrowed, "But isn't she on a business trip with you?"

Lu Zongyan lied calmly, "Although we were on a business trip together, she stayed in China while I handled the overseas cooperation."

Qin Shizheng frowned, "So that's how it is. I misunderstood."

It looked like she really believed what he said.

Then he turned and left.

Lu Zongyan didn't expect that Qin Shizheng would actually believe such a poor excuse of his, and was stunned for a moment.

After a moment, after confirming that Qin Shizheng did not turn back, his heart finally settled back into his stomach.

He then called Jian Ci again.

This time the call finally got through.

"division……"

Just as he couldn't wait to speak, he heard an impatient and faintly familiar male voice on the other end of the phone, "Speak."

Lu Zongyan was stunned for a second before asking in disbelief, "Mr. Huo?"

Huo Sen on the other end became completely impatient, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Lu Zongyan didn't dare to speak carelessly, and just asked conservatively: "Where is Jian Ci?"

Huo Sen answered without thinking: "She is sleeping."

Lu Zongyan: "..."

Why does this sound weird?

Huo Sen was completely impatient now, and his tone was a bit irritable, "What's going on?"

Lu Zongyan didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only say: "It's okay. If she wakes up, call me as soon as possible."

Huo Sen tutted, "I see."

Then he hung up the phone.

But the next second, a sound of breaking air came from behind.

Huo Sen narrowed his eyes slightly and dodged almost subconsciously.

However, the opponent's attack speed was too fast, and the silver needle just brushed past his face, with the tip of the needle slightly scratching his skin.

The slight pain made Huo Sen frown, "Jian Ci! Do you want a beating?"

Jian Ci, who was sitting on the bed, heard the irritable voice, and the scarlet color at the corners of her eyes faded slightly, but her voice was still hoarse from waking up from sleep, "How did you get in?"

Huo Sen touched the small wound on his face and snorted coldly, "When did you become so slow to react?"

"What's it to you?" Jian Ci immediately turned back the quilt, got out of bed, and walked towards the bathroom.

But then he heard Huo Sen's voice behind him, "Is it because of the medicine?"

As he spoke, he shook the medicine bottle, and a rustling sound came out of it.

Jian Ci paused, then suddenly turned her head to look at the medicine bottle in his hand.

I saw that the medicine bottle that was originally placed on the bedside table was now in Huo Sen's hand.

In an instant, a cold and gloomy look flashed in her eyes.

"What do you want to do?" she asked.

Huo Sen casually shook the medicine bottle in his hand and said, "I just want to know what kind of medicine this is."

Jian Ci took a look and said indifferently, "Tranquilizing and tranquilizing medicine."

Huo Sen paused, his originally lazy expression gradually becoming serious, "Are you suffering from insomnia?"

Jian Ci nodded, "Yes."

Huo Sen's eyes were cold, "When does it start?"

Jian Ci answered again expressionlessly: "Two years ago."

As soon as these words came out, Huo Sen's expression changed completely, "Because of that incident?"

"right."

Unexpectedly, this answer made Huo Sen immediately angry. "Are you sick? It's just the death of one of your men. Is it necessary to be like this?"

Huo Sen really couldn't understand it. When they were in the East, people had died before, but he had never seen her like this.

Even if that guy called Xiaobai has a better relationship with her, it shouldn't drive her to insomnia, right?

In response, Jian Ci did not answer, but said indifferently, "If there is nothing else, please leave."

Then he went straight into the bathroom to wash up.

Huo Sen was left alone there. He looked at the medicine in his hand and was so angry that he wanted to throw the bottle away.

But when he thought about the fact that Jian Ci needed this medicine to fall asleep every day, he had to put his hand down again.

He felt that sooner or later he would be pissed to death by this girl.

He immediately slammed the medicine bottle on the table, slammed the door and left.

Jian Ci in the bathroom turned off the faucet for washing her face after hearing the loud sound of the door closing.

When I looked up again, I saw in the mirror that there were drops of water sliding down the corners of my forehead, red bloodshot at the corners of my eyes, dry lips, a faint bluish halo under my eyes, and my face looked very pale.
