Chapter Forty: The Fu Family Should Go Bankrupt

Huo Zhan escorted Su Muci to the door of her apartment.

He didn't ask to go in; he just watched her enter the password with slightly trembling hands under the warm yellow light of the porch.

He took a half step back, giving her enough safe space.

Su Muci opened the door, but did not go in immediately.

She turned around, her eyelashes lowered, her gaze falling on a spot on her suit jacket that was soaked with tears, making it darker in color.

Her voice was hoarse from crying and tinged with embarrassment: "I'm sorry... I've gotten your suit wet again."

Huo Zhan's gaze lingered on her pale face for a moment.

She then gently moved away, her tone calm and even: "It's just a suit, it's nothing, get some rest."

But somewhere deep inside him, a madman was screaming: he wished he could swallow all the tears in her eyes, knead her into his own bones and blood, and share all the grievances in her heart!

Su Muci nodded, turned and stepped into the apartment, preparing to close the door.

Just as the door was about to close, a hand with distinct knuckles suddenly blocked the door panel.

Su Muci looked up and met Huo Zhan's deep eyes.

The light from the corridor cast a soft shadow on his face, making his eyes appear even more deep and profound.

“I’m downstairs,” he said, looking into her eyes, his voice deep and clear, each word carrying an undeniable seriousness. “Call me if you need help. My phone is on 24/7.”

She looked at him, her heart filled with mixed emotions. The fear, grievances, and warmth of the moment intertwined, ultimately culminating in a barely audible "thank you."

The closed door completely separated the two worlds.

Su Muci leaned against the cold door, her body seemingly drained of all strength, and slowly slid down to squat on the ground.

The humiliation that had been suppressed for so long burst forth like a flood breaking through a dam.

Outside the door, Huo Zhan did not leave immediately.

He stood there quietly, clearly hearing the suppressed but undeniable sobs coming from inside the door.

His hands, hanging by his sides, suddenly clenched, veins bulging on the back of his hands, and a cold killing intent surged in his eyes.

If it weren't for Su Muci's feelings, he would have made those beasts and Fu Hengzhi pay an even heavier price!

He left with heavy steps, and when he returned to his apartment downstairs, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

The subordinate reported over the phone: "President Huo, Fu Hengzhi is using his connections to try to access surveillance footage from all the roads near the unfinished building in the west of the city."

Huo Zhan instantly exuded a chilling aura, as if the air itself had frozen.

He gripped his phone, his thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was icy cold: "The Fu family deserves to go bankrupt!"

...

Su Muchi squatted behind the door for more than ten minutes before she recovered.

She propped herself up, her body shattered, and staggered into the bathroom, turning on the hot water to wash away all the filth and humiliation.

She then ordered takeout, but the warm food tasted bland, and she only managed a few bites before putting it down.

As the clock approached eight o'clock, Su Muci took a deep breath, suppressing everything she had experienced that day, and opened the live streaming app.

Her voice betrayed no pain or sorrow, remaining as gentle as ever: "Hello everyone, I'm Su Su."

The live stream was instantly flooded with a large number of listeners, and the comments scrolled by rapidly.

[With such a beautiful voice, Su Su must be a little angel who is cherished by her family in real life.]

Little angel...

Su Muci looked at this comment and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

Who would have thought that this so-called "little angel" had just crawled back from the brink of hell a few hours earlier?

She suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and her sweet voice came through the microphone: "Thank you so much to all my friends who support Su Su. My throat is a little sore today, so I don't want to sing. Can we just chat?"

...

Fu Hengzhi had just finished bandaging his wound at the hospital.

He was in a bad mood.

It wasn't just because he couldn't get the surveillance video from the roadside, but also because he originally wanted to let Su Muci go in the unfinished building, only to find out that Su Muci already had another man!

I can't swallow this anger.

Hearing Su Su's soft voice in the live stream, I wanted to calm myself down a bit, but after hearing the words "just chatting, not singing," my annoyance intensified.

He picked up his phone and unblocked himself from invisibility:

[HZ enters the live stream.]

[HZ: What do you want to talk about? Today I want to hear you sing, the ancient Chinese song you sang for the first time on the radio.]

[HZ rewards SuSu with 1*2*3*4*5 spaceships] (19999 diamonds*5)

All he wanted right now was for the female anchor's singing to help him relieve his current frustration.

The special effects of five spaceships flashed across the screen one after another, and the barrage of comments immediately became lively.

Before Su Muci could respond, another, even more dazzling golden barrage of comments suddenly flooded the screen:

[I will never trade this life for a reward of Su Su's spaceships *1 *2 *3 *4 *5... *20] (19999 diamonds *20)

[This Life, No Change: Didn't you see Su Su say she had a sore throat and was only chatting? Can't she understand human language?]

Fu Hengzhi's face darkened as he stared at the screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard:

[HZ rewards SuSu with 1*2*3*4*5……*50 spaceships] (19999 diamonds*50)

[HZ: If you want money, sing for me! I'll give you all the tips you want!]

[I will never trade this life for a reward of Su Su's spaceships *1 *2 *3 *4 *5... *100] (19999 diamonds *100)

[This Life, No Change: Su Su, give me administrator privileges, I'll deal with this troublemaker.]

[I'm applying to become an administrator of SuSu's live stream room, no matter what]

[HZ: Deal with me? Who do you think you are!]

[HZ rewards SuSu with 1*2*3*4*5……*150 spaceships] (19999 diamonds*150)

The other listeners were stunned, and the live chat exploded instantly: [Holy crap! What kind of epic battle is this? It's already blown up as soon as the live stream started!]

[SuSu already said her throat hurts, HZ, please don't force her. If you like SuSu, please be more understanding!]

[HZ: I'm in a bad mood today, so I came here to listen to Su Su sing. She has to sing!]

[I would never trade this life for: an idiot.]

[I will never trade this life for a reward of Su Su's spaceships *1 *2 *3 *4 *5... *500] (19999 diamonds *500)

[I'd Never Change This Life: Su Su, be good, click Agree.]

[Holy crap! Ten million! He'd never trade ten million for anything in his life! Is this guy some big shot from Jiangcheng?]

[Could it be that Su Suhong went to another province? Did she alarm the wealthy tycoon Shark?]

Fu Hengzhi was already furious, his eyes red with anger.

He was already annoyed by Su Muci's matter, and now even a live stream won't give him a good time.

So what if he's a super-rich tycoon! He looks down on Jiangcheng's young master?

He immediately linked his black card with unlimited spending to the live streaming platform.

[HZ rewards SuSu with spaceships *1 *2 *3 *4 *5... *500... *1000] (19999 diamonds *1000)

[HZ: I absolutely must hear SuSu sing today!]

Holy crap, this is insane! Two big shots going head-to-head!

[Brother HZ has spent so much money, SuSu, why don't you sing one song?]

Su Muci said gently, "Thank you HZ and I will never change this life for the reward. I don't want everyone to have any unpleasantness. In that case, I will sing for everyone."

Before the words were finished:

[I will never trade this life for a reward of Su Su's spaceships *1 *2 *3 *4 *5... *1000... *5000] (19999 diamonds *5000)

[I'll Never Change My Mind: If I say I'm not singing, I mean it, understand?]
