Lust's Thorn

In Buddhism, wealth, sex, food, fame, and sleep are known as the five desires that trouble people, like thorns pricking the skin, hence "Lust's Thorn."

The moment Yun Tan returned...

Chapter 26: The disobedient kitten only listens well in bed...

When Li Sen opened the evidence package weighing several GB, his fingertips were shaking.

Yun Tan also took screenshots and saved all the WeChat chat records with Huang Youwei. From the beginning, he made subtle hints, such as asking if she had a boyfriend, how many boyfriends she had had, asking her out for drinks in the middle of the night, and asking some ambiguous and explicit questions before explaining that it was just a punishment for losing the game.

Later, just two days ago, Huang Youwei's post became more straightforward.

Friday night at 8 p.m.

Huang Youwei: "How do you think about it?"

Yuntan: "What?"

Huang Youwei: "Don't worry, the vice president's room is on the 8th floor, so other colleagues won't find out."

Yun Tan: "Mr. Huang, did you drink too much tonight?"

Li Sen couldn't help laughing when he saw this sentence.

She could see that Yun Tan had deliberately set the trap. Normally, she would not have given Huang Youwei a good face at this time. Not cursing at him was already an effort of restraint.

Huang Youwei: "Xiao Tan, you're a smart person, so stop beating around the bush."

Huang Youwei: "Honestly, with your abilities, it's a shame to be just an ordinary employee in the design department. But in a company, you can't just rely on your abilities; connections are even more important."

Yuntan didn't reply for ten minutes.

Huang Youwei changed his expression and said, "You're almost at the stage of being evaluated for regularization. Did you know that the regularization report needs to be signed by all the vice presidents?"

Li Sen was so angry that he almost threw the computer away the next second.

There are two videos.

One is in front of the villa's bathroom.

The cameras installed in Jinci Villa are all high-definition and have sound reception functions, so the images are exceptionally clear.

Yuntan's tone was just right, he really looked like someone being harassed by higher-ups and unable to resist.

Li Sen repeatedly exclaimed in admiration in his heart, "Comrade Xiao Tan is really awesome!", and then when he clicked on the second video, he was so angry that he smashed the computer on the bed.

"Fuck! What a beast!" Li Sen cursed loudly at home alone.

The video was taken in the guest room corridor on the eighth floor, where Yun Tan pressed the doorbell of Huang Youwei's room.

Fortunately, Huang Youwei's room was located in the corridor, so the surveillance camera could record all the audio.

At first, the two of them were pulling each other. Huang Youwei spoke in a blunt and dirty manner, with every word containing a dirty tone. He tried to grab Yun Tan's wrist and force her into the house.

Even though he knew nothing happened in the end, Li Sen was still so nervous that his palms were sweating.

"Don't be shameless, Yuntan," Huang Youwei whispered. "Even if I raped you, what would happen? I've read your file. Your parents are just ordinary employees. What can they do to help you?"

Yun Tan filled out her family background information randomly when she started working, but she didn't expect that it would become the basis for Huang Youwei to bully her at will.

"Don't you like sausages? Why don't you want to try mine?"

Huang Youwei smiled and said, "Actually, compared to Yang Lei, I still like you more. Yang Lei is too student-like."

"Ahhh! This pervert!" Li Sen was furious and wanted to punch Huang Youwei.

As a result, the next second she had telepathy with Yun Tan from the day before - Yun Tan raised his hand and slapped Huang Youwei in the face.

She used all her strength and hit the drunk Huang Youwei so hard that he staggered back a step, and a slap mark immediately appeared on his cheek.

Then, before Huang Youwei could get angry and use brute force, Yun Tan took out the stun gun he had prepared in advance from behind him, and kicked him in the crotch before he groaned and bent over.

-

Monday morning.

A PPT titled "LH Luhe Vice President Huang Youwei cheated on his wife and sexually harassed multiple female colleagues" appeared in everyone's work mailbox.

To be exact, Yuntan sent it in the early hours of Sunday morning when everyone was asleep.

From the general manager and directors to every employee in each department.

She finally blurred out the part about Yang Lei in the video. After all, Yang Lei might not want others to know.

The atmosphere in the entire LH was particularly depressing today. Everyone was whispering and no one dared to say anything about Vice President Huang Youwei before the final conclusion was made.

Yuntan sat at his workstation, noticing everyone's gazes directed at him.

After all, Yuntan is completely in the position of the victim in the video, the one who is deeply hurt emotionally. Everyone in the design department doesn't know how to speak up and make room for such a painful thing.

Of course, there are also employees from other departments outside the design department who pass by intentionally or unintentionally and want to inquire about gossip.

Li Sen went out to get some water and came back, suddenly yelling at the group of people at the door, "What are you all doing crowding around the design department?! Are you sick?"

It broke the eerie silence and undercurrent of this morning.

Ding Mian also stood up, sent everyone away, and then sent a message to Yun Tan: "Xiao Tan, are you free? Come to my office."

Yuntan went into his office.

Ding Mian also looked unhappy. He pulled down the blinds under the transparent glass of the office, but did not close the door. He just asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

"fine."

Yun Tan smiled at him. She was really fine. "Don't worry about me. Nothing happened. And I did it on purpose."

Ding Mian was stunned: "What?"

"He was harassing other young girls, and I couldn't stand it. I had to get rid of him." Yun Tan shrugged. "It's just that I can't act too relaxed before the company officially handles the investigation."

Ding Mian observed her expression for a while, and after confirming that she wasn't forcing herself, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "But for a girl like you, it's too risky."

Yuntan didn’t think about those things.

She has been living alone for so many years and has long developed the habit of fighting alone.

"Minister Ding, do you know how the company's top management plans to handle this?"

"Huang Youwei has been called in for questioning. Don't worry, you are a member of my department, and I will definitely insist that the higher-ups make a fair decision."

"OK."

Yun Tan put his hands in his coat pockets, looking a little too relaxed in this atmosphere. "Then I'll go home first?"

"Um."

Ding Mian watched her open the door and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He suddenly remembered when he first fell in love with Yun Tan, when he was still in high school. She was hardworking and serious, didn't talk much, and had a beautiful smile, like a flourishing flower in spring.

But when Ding Mian met her again abroad, she seemed very different. Something fresh and passionate seemed to have withered. She still smiled beautifully, but her eyes were always cold.

Ding Mian knew that she had never had any other feelings for him, so he kept this love silent until now.

Sometimes Ding Mian would wonder what he was waiting for.

She seemed like she would never look at herself.

Ding Mian couldn't even imagine what it would be like for a woman like Yun Tan, who was as sharp as a sword, to love someone.

"Xiao Tan." Ding Mian suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

Ding Mian looked into her eyes and said seriously, "If you encounter something similar in the future, tell me first and I will help you, okay?"

Yun Tan didn't say yes or no, she just smiled nonchalantly and said teasingly in a dragging tone: "Si Cao, just hope I'm okay."

-

The strange atmosphere early in the morning was completely broken when the general manager hurriedly walked into the design department and shouted to Ding Mian in panic, "Come out quickly."

Everyone looked up and watched the usually stern and serious general manager hurriedly adjusting his tie and cuffs, and even adjusting his hair through the reflection in the glass. He was as nervous as if he was going on a blind date with the most noble princess.

Li Sen chuckled and leaned over to Yun Tan's ear and said, "He doesn't have much hair at all. What is he grooming? Is he trying to get those few strands of hair evenly distributed across his scalp?"

Ding Mian also came out quickly: "Boss Liang, what's wrong?"

"Put on your coat! Be more formal! And those pants! Oh, forget it, it's too late, let it be!"

Ding Mian looked down at his trousers. He was dressed casually today, a pair of white trousers with a coat. Apart from being casual, there was nothing wrong with it.

He didn't have time to ask, so he grabbed his coat and walked towards the company gate with Mr. Liang: "Mr. Liang, is anyone coming?"

"WH Group's leadership is coming!"

As the main investor in LH's Series B financing, it owns 9% of LH's equity, which means it is also one of the major shareholders. Of course, it cannot be neglected.

What's more, LH plans to launch its Series C investment in a few years, and WH Group is a veritable financial backer.

Ding Mian was also stunned: "So sudden, are you here for an inspection?"

"I don't know. I wasn't informed," Mr. Liang said. "I have acquaintances and friends within WH Group, and I only found out about it after being tipped off."

President Liang, along with several vice presidents and department heads, rushed to the company gate and stood in a row respectfully.

It was windy today, causing his hair to fly all over the place. Mr. Lu came so suddenly that he didn't have time to apply hairspray to fix his hair!

Ding Mian looked around and asked, "Isn't Mr. Huang here?"

"He's upstairs. We didn't let him come down."

President Liang suddenly slapped his forehead. "President Lu wouldn't be here for this, would he? Huang Youwei, why would he stir up trouble at any other time? And Yun Tan from your department, this matter has spread throughout the company. How could it be good for a little girl like her?!"

Ding Mian frowned: "Mr. Liang, this kind of thing..."

Before he finished speaking, a black car drove up in the distance, and someone asked, "Is that Wanzhou President Lu's car?"

Mr. Liang hurried over to greet him, bowing and nodding, "Mr. Lu, why did you come here so suddenly? Please give me the car keys, and I'll send someone to park the car."

Lu Wangshan got out of the car and glanced at everyone.

He didn't say anything, but his expression was extremely cold and stern. Mr. Liang's flattering smile froze in an instant.

It doesn't seem like they are here to inspect, but rather to hold people accountable.

LH's Series B financing was two and a half years ago. At that time, Ding Mian had not yet become the minister, so of course he didn't know that the WH Group that Mr. Liang mentioned was referring to him.

He knew Lu Wangshan. They went to the same high school, so it was impossible for someone not to know Lu Wangshan.

But what impressed Ding Mian the most was that day at Yun Tan's house, Lu Wangshan knocked on the door and said that he was Yun Tan's ex-boyfriend.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and while everyone's attention was focused on Lu Wangshan, he took a photo and sent it to Yun Tan to inform him.

"Boss Liang, I didn't know you guys were coming to greet me with such a big ceremony, but it seems like everyone's still not here." Lu Wangshan said jokingly, but there was no smile on his face. He suddenly got straight to the point, "Where's Huang Youwei?"

He is tall, and when he looks down at people he almost looks down on them.

When he abandons the politeness and humility instilled in him by his family, it is enough to create a sense of superiority and oppression on anyone.

President Liang's heart rate was almost unbalanced, and he thought that this person was really targeting Vice President Huang.

But, to put it bluntly, if you carefully question every large company, you will probably find several such incidents.

Why would Lu Wangshan come here specifically to call for punishment?

Could it be that Yun Tan and Lu Wangshan have a connection?

But before the B round of financing, in order to better cater to Lu Wangshan, they had already done some research on his personality and preferences. Although the eldest son of the Lu Group had a face that looked like a disaster, his private life was extremely clean. He had never had a girlfriend and never even brought a female companion to a party.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Lu."

Mr. Liang said, "Huang Youwei is upstairs right now. The company is questioning him this morning to understand the circumstances. This matter is of a serious nature. We will handle it strictly and give everyone a fair explanation."

"Which floor?"

"Fifth floor." Seeing that there was no way to escape, Mr. Liang took the initiative to lead the way, "Follow me."

They took the elevator upstairs and, led by Lu Wangshan, pushed the door open and entered.

Then Huang Youwei, who was supposed to be under interrogation and investigation as mentioned by Mr. Liang, was now holding a cup of tea, blowing a breath and drinking tea comfortably.

"Huang Youwei!"

It was rare for Mr. Liang to speak so harshly to him. He lowered his voice to remind him, "Mr. Lu from WH Group is here!"

Huang Youwei quickly stood up, almost tripping over a chair in his haste. He quickly bowed and held out his hands, "Mr. Lu, nice to meet you! I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I'm Huang Youwei, Vice President of LH."

"Vice President LH?" Lu Wangshan sneered and looked at President Liang. "It seems your company still doesn't intend to handle this matter properly."

As soon as he saw the video sent by Jin Ci in the corridor of the guest room, he booked a flight back home.

Taking into account the flight distance and time difference, I just landed at Capital Airport half an hour ago and rushed here directly.

During that voyage, Lu Wangshan had someone find out Huang Youwei's identity.

The son of a certain LH director does have a good background, but he was given the position of vice president without much ability. It is not the first time that he has harassed girls. When he was studying for a master's degree in Australia, he was investigated for molestation and rape. I wonder how much connections his parents used and how much money they spent to settle the case.

Lu Wangshan lowered his eyes and looked at Huang Youwei coldly for a moment.

The vulgar words Huang Youwei said to Yun Tan, his hand on Yun Tan's lower back, and the scene of Yun Tan's wrist being forcibly grabbed at the door of his room kept appearing in his mind.

Without Jin Ci's explanation, Lu Wangshan knew that Yun Tan did it on purpose and was putting himself in danger.

Otherwise, Yun Tan would not be so stupid as to knock on Huang Youwei's door just for a threat about becoming a regular employee.

Lu Wangshan understood her arrogance and pride, and her resume and achievements were not enough to make her worry about becoming a regular employee.

At worst, even if she has a bad relationship with her parents, if she really tells others about it, she will be tied to the Yuan family. How can a mere Huang Youwei do anything to her?

But even so, Yun Tan's trembling fingertips and rapid breathing could not be faked.

Even though she didn't say it.

But she was also genuinely afraid.

Mr. Liang kept assuring him that the matter would be handled fairly, but Lu Wangshan was no longer listening.

Fuck justice.

How can this be considered truly fair?

Lu Wangshan suddenly raised his hand and punched. The strength in his arms was terrifying, a brutal power developed through years of training and extreme sports at sea.

Huang Youwei was knocked to the ground by a punch.

No one expected Lu Wangshan to suddenly attack, and they were unable to react in an instant.

Lu Wangshan's eyes were already red. The moment he swung his fist, he seemed to feel more clearly the fear that Yun Tan was holding back at that time. So he strode forward, grabbed Huang Youwei's collar and punched him again.

He has too much anger.

Huang Youwei seemed to have been harassing Yun Tan for a long time, but Yun Tan never told him. During the time they lived together, Yun Tan never told him and never thought of seeking his help.

It was obvious that with just one word from her, she wouldn't have to be so scared and put herself in danger.

But she just refused to tell him.

She never thought of relying on him.

Because I want to study abroad and have my own life, I can leave him behind without any discussion.

Since Xiang Yin also came to Guangdong, he could return to Beijing alone.

Just because you are harassed by a beast who is nothing in the company, you can take risks alone.

He is so contradictory.

Feeling distressed and aggrieved, I had a bad impulse that almost made me want to force Yuntan to grow too fast.

Why is it that no matter how much he gives or how much he loves her, he can't make Yun Tan willing to rely on him.

He never wanted to own Yuntan's life, he just wanted to occupy a small place in her life.

That's all.

Lu Wangshan didn't dare to think about what he would do if Huang Youwei was stronger at that time, and if Yun Tan was really pulled into that room by him.

After Huang Youwei groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood, President Liang finally rushed forward: "Director Lu!"

He tried to pull the two men apart, but he was no match for their strength and was soon thrown to the ground.

"Lu Wangshan!" Yun Tan ran upstairs and hugged Lu Wangshan's arm regardless of anything.

If the fight continues, someone will die.

Lu Wangshan only felt a familiar fragrance suddenly lingering around his nose, and soft, slightly cool fingers tightly wrapped around his arm with exposed veins, and also grabbed his sanity that was about to lose control.

Yun Tan ran up as soon as she saw the text message Ding Mian sent her, but she didn't expect to see this scene.

Huang Youwei's face was covered in blood, it was extremely scary.

"Lu Wangshan." Her knuckles turned white from the force, almost digging into his arm, her voice trembling, "Let him go, let him go, and stop hitting him."

Lu Wangshan followed his instructions and untied Huang Youwei's collar. The back of his hand was also stained with blood. He was afraid of staining Yun Tan, so he wiped it casually on the hem of his clothes. Then he held Yun Tan's hand and said gently, "Are you okay?"

Even though he felt aggrieved and unwilling that Yun Tan refused to rely on him, he could not show any dissatisfaction at this moment.

Yun Tan didn’t feel anything at all. Even though everyone looked at her strangely today, she just played the role of the victim according to the “plot”.

But when Lu Wangshan held her hand and asked her a question, her eyes suddenly felt sore.

She felt a sense of grievance that she herself had never even noticed.

She wanted to restrain herself, so she frowned slightly and choked out a sob: "It's okay."

Lu Wangshan looked at her expression and for a moment he had the urge to kill Huang Youwei.

He embraced Yun Tan in his arms in front of everyone and looked over: "Mr. Liang, I think the victim has the right to take a temporary leave before your company publicly handles and resolves this matter."

Mr. Liang didn't dare to say no. He kept saying "Of course, of course" and even nodded and bowed to Yun Tan: "Ms. Yun deserves to rest. I am here to make it clear that I will handle this matter."

Lu Wangshan didn't let this group of people see him off, and went downstairs holding Yun Tan's hand.

Boss Liang looked at Huang Youwei, whose face was bruised and swollen in the corner, and rushed over to him in a rage and slapped him again: "You can pick on anyone else! But you have to pick on Boss Lu's sweetheart!"

I've never heard that Lu Wangshan has a girlfriend, right? Otherwise, how could they dare treat such a great figure like him so casually after he joined the company?

Mr. Liang then asked Ding Mian, "Minister Ding, didn't you say that Miss Yun is your friend? Don't you know about her relationship with Mr. Lu?"

Ding Mian shook his head and remained silent.

He just kept replaying in his mind the aggrieved frown on Yun Tan's face when he looked at Lu Wangshan.

He had never seen such an expression on Yun Tan's face.

-

Inside the car.

Yun Tan held Lu Wangshan's hand and examined it carefully. There was a wound on the metacarpal bone due to severe friction. He had not slept for dozens of hours and his eyes were bloodshot.

Yun Tan gently stroked the back of his hand and asked softly, "How did you know?"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Yun Tan was silent for a while: "You haven't been here recently."

"When did he start harassing you?"

"It's been quite a while, but I ignored it at first, and he didn't overreact. Oh, and I did it on purpose this time. It was a trap, so..."

Lu Wangshan interrupted her: "I know."

Yuntan paused and looked up.

Lu Wangshan looked into her eyes and repeated, "I know you did it on purpose."

"Then why are you still..."

Yun Tan's lower lip trembled. He looked down at his scraped metacarpal bone and sighed softly, "He's harassing a new girl in our company, a senior who hasn't graduated yet. The nature of his behavior is very bad, and it may even involve rape. He continues to harass her with impunity. I can't stand it."

Lu Wangshan was furious, but he couldn't get angry at Yun Tan. He raised his hand and gently touched her hair: "You are willing to protect others in this way, why don't you want me to protect you?"

"Lu Wangshan."

"Um."

She lowered her head: "Let's just keep this distance, okay?"

Lu Wangshan was silent for a long time, then silently started the car and drove towards the apartment.

He sent Yuntan home. Leo didn't expect his parents to come back at this time, and he was very excited, but he soon realized that the atmosphere between the two seemed to be wrong, so he went back to the nest obediently and observed them carefully.

"I still have things to do, you should have a good rest." Lu Wangshan said and left.

Yuntan began his paid vacation like this.

Although not many people witnessed Lu Wangshan beating Huang Youwei, the news had already spread quickly within the company.

Li Sen messaged her: "Sister! You're too distant! Is your ex-boyfriend in finance the boss of WH Group?!"

Li Sen: "What kind of financial man is this? He's the financial man's money man, okay!!!"

Li Sen: "Your ex-boyfriend is so awesome. Huang Youwei was taken away by the police directly."

Yun Tan paused when he saw this: "The police are here too?"

Li Sen: "Yes, and Yang Lei also came forward and went to the police station to give a statement."

Yun Tan: "Did Yang Lei call the police?"

Li Sen: "No, she contacted the police later. I thought it was your ex-boyfriend who called the police, wasn't it?"

Yun Tan was stunned and sent a message to Lu Wangshan.

Yun Tan: "My colleague said that Huang Youwei was taken to the police station."

Yuntan: "Did you call the police?"

Lu Wangshan: "Yes."

Yun Tan's black eyelashes trembled: "Can I still be sentenced severely with the evidence I have?"

Lu Wangshan: "I got other evidence."

Of course, this is not the first time that Huang Youwei has committed such a habitual offense. If Lu Wangshan wants to investigate, he can certainly find out.

Yuntan: "What will happen to him?"

Lu Wangshan: "At least three years. I will hire a lawyer to fight for a ten-year prison sentence."

Yun Tan pursed his lips and replied sincerely, "Thank you."

Lu Wangshan did not reply to her.

He must be angry.

Yuntan knew that his words, "Why don't we just maintain this kind of relationship?" were very hurtful.

But she was really afraid that she, who was being protected by him now, would be used as a sword to stab him in the future.

-

Lu Wangshan was busy all day. He left the police station at eight o'clock in the evening and went to the group to deal with urgent work. It was already midnight when he got home.

Yuntan had already fallen asleep, but a light was left on for him at the entrance.

After taking a shower in the guest bedroom, Lu Wangshan entered the master bedroom, lifted the quilt, lay down quietly, and held the person in his arms.

Yuntan opened his eyes in a daze, and before he could say "You're back", he was kissed.

She keenly noticed that Lu Wangshan seemed different today than usual. His kiss became more aggressive, without any leisurely flirting. Instead, it was more like—

Punishment, liquidation.

These two words popped up in Yuntan's mind for no reason.

It's like a kitten causes a lot of trouble, and the owner patiently and carefully cleans up the mess. When everything is done, it's time to settle accounts with the naughty kitten.

The breaths were so entangled that it almost gave people the illusion of suffocation.

Yuntan subconsciously stepped back, trying to escape, but was pulled back, kissed on the lips, and bitten on the tip of his tongue.

The kitten's eyes were wet from the kiss, and in a half-asleep state, she began to unconsciously give in and act coquettishly, asking in a low voice: "Do you want to do it? It's so late."

pity.

The gentle master didn't seem to be fooled by her obedience today. He still showed strong aggressiveness, like a lion ready to attack, silent, introverted, restrained and suppressed.

Be prepared to settle accounts with the kitten.

Why am I only willing to rely on him in bed, but act so free and easy when I get out of bed?

In that case, let’s settle it in bed.

Anyway, the disobedient kitten will only listen to him obediently on the bed.

"Yes." Lu Wangshan whispered against her lips, "We must do it."
