Chapter 45 Luo Tingwei's Secret Crush

The bodyguard untied her, and when the man saw her, his icy expression softened slightly.

"Miss Cen, don't be afraid. I invited you here today to ask you a few questions."

This was the first time Cen An'an had ever seen such a handsome man, and her breathing became rapid.

However, the way they invited her was far too abrupt.

Once the initial crush subsided, she was immediately overcome by an instinctive fear.

"Who...who are you?"

"Li Yanzhou".

Cen An'an gasped.

How did she get involved with this powerful figure?

Could it be that something happened to Luo Tingwei?

Moreover, I haven't been able to contact her these past few days.

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized something and blurted out, "What's wrong with Weiwei?"

Li Yanzhou smiled slightly, knowing he hadn't chosen the wrong person.

"She's fine, she just made some mistakes and I locked her up."

He seemed to be talking about a trivial matter, his tone casual and relaxed.

Cen An'an felt the cold and dangerous pressure emanating from him, and couldn't help but tremble even more.

"What...what do you want to ask?"

"What happened to Luo Tingwei five years ago?"

Upon hearing this, Cen An'an gasped, but still maintained her composure and asked, "What?"

Li Yanzhou put his leg down and flicked the ash from his cigarette. "Miss Cen, don't tell me you don't know about the injury on her head. It's no ordinary minor injury."

Cen An'an shook her head, recalling what Luo Tingwei had told her. "I didn't know about the injury on her head. She didn't tell me."

"Miss Cen."

Li Yanzhou coldly interrupted her, "Think carefully before you answer. I don't have that much patience."

With that, he stubbed out his cigarette, a sharp glint of light flashing as he looked at the woman before him. "I took an eight-hour private jet to get here, not to hear you say you don't know."

Cen An'an visibly panicked upon hearing his words, and mustered her courage to stammer,

"I...I really don't know. Please don't make things difficult for me. I really don't know about such a hidden injury on my head."

"Okay, since you don't know, let's talk about something else first."

Li Yanzhou slowly got up from the sofa, then walked to his desk and picked up two documents.

"I heard you've been looking for a job in New York lately, but you've been running into walls everywhere. I happen to have a vacancy at the MK Group's New York headquarters. If you just tell me the truth, this position is yours."

Upon hearing his words, Cen An'an's heart suddenly stirred.

MK Group is a big company that many people dream of working for. She tried submitting her resume, but unfortunately, it was like throwing a stone into the sea.

However, Luo Tingwei's story back then was of great importance, and Luo Shengtian even gave her hush money, both openly and secretly.

The fact that Li Yanzhou has approached her now means that this is definitely not a trivial matter.

It's just a job; she can't betray her friends.

Just as Cen An'an was about to continue playing dumb, Li Yanzhou spoke up again, his voice lowering slightly.

"I have another document with me..."

"It's some bribes your father received in H country. Count the zeros on it; it's enough to get him executed several times over."

Cen An'an's father holds a high position in H country, having reached the level of a department head.

In an instant, Cen An'an turned deathly pale with fright and knelt down with a thud, "No...no..."

Li Yanzhou's eyes remained expressionless as he coldly glanced at her. "Which of these two documents do you want? You choose. I believe you're a smart person."

**

Two hours later, the door of the private jet on the rooftop slowly opened, and the man strode inside.

Cen An'an also went in together.

The plane quickly took off and disappeared into a fog.

Cen An'an sat in her seat feeling very uneasy.

Does this mean she betrayed Luo Tingwei?

Li Yanzhou said that she was in poor mental condition and asked her to come with him to Black City, claiming that it would "help her recover."

Just as she was staring blankly at the white clouds outside the window, the man's voice suddenly rang out without warning.

"She used to..."

Li Yanzhou paused, took a sip of red wine, and casually asked, "Are there other men with you?"

Upon hearing this, Cen An'an denied it without even thinking, "No. She's never been in a relationship."

Never?

"...Anyway, I don't know."

The next second, as if remembering something, she paused for a moment, and...

"Oh, right..."

"She did have a crush on someone before, but it was just a secret crush."

Li Yanzhou's hand holding the wine glass stiffened, and a sharp, cold glint fell on her, signaling her to continue.

Feeling his gaze, Cen An'an quickly forced a smile and said...

"Well, that was before her car accident. She liked a boy in her school's swimming club and would often run into him by the pool. I remember that later, when she accidentally drowned, that boy saved her once."

Later, her voice grew softer and softer, as if afraid that she might say something wrong and anger the demon in front of her.

She remembered that Luo Tingwei had told her last time that she had met that boy again in Black City.

Only after she finished speaking did Cen An'an realize that her words might have brought misfortune to the boy.

To her surprise, Li Yanzhou remained calm, his eyes even revealing a hint of something intriguing.

What kind of look was that?

Why did Cen An'an think his lips were upturned?

Li Yanzhou downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, as if talking to himself, "Is that so?"

"I knew it, tsk, the drinks at that bar aren't that good."

Cen An'an couldn't understand what he was saying, and didn't dare to ask. She lowered her head, trying to minimize her presence.

It was already 8 p.m. when we arrived in Black City.

Li Yanzhou seemed to be in a very good mood. He had already ordered Luo Tingwei to be moved to a room upstairs while on the plane.

As he said, Luo Tingwei was indeed in bad condition when Cen An'an saw her.

"An'an?"

Upon seeing Cen An'an, she was taken aback, and her previously dim eyes suddenly lit up.

She had no idea what Li Yanzhou was up to, but he suddenly let her out of the basement in the evening.

Unexpectedly, he actually brought Cen An'an over.

Cen An'an is clearly in America!

So, he brought her out of the picture to show his friends, to paint a rosy picture, and to create the illusion that he treated her well.

A treacherous and cunning man.

Because her stomach wasn't feeling well in the afternoon, the doctor didn't dare to give her too much medication, so the dosage was greatly reduced. As a result, her senses were amplified, and she was able to experience normal emotions.

Li Yanzhou was sitting on the sofa next to her, looking at the instructions for her medicine.

She tried to look at it, but found it was all in French, which she couldn't understand.

Seeing his composed demeanor, Luo Tingwei couldn't help but ask, somewhat annoyed.

"Li Yanzhou, why did you bring An'an here?"

Upon hearing this, the man didn't even raise his head, and let out a cold snort through his nose.

"What for? To be a hostage."
