“I can give you a legal explanation.” A woman’s voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, and then a woman walked in.

Gu Fanyan?

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they realized that the person who came was not Gu Fanyan.

Instead, it was Sheng Xin who bore a resemblance to Gu Fanyan.

Today, Sheng Xin wore long, curly hair, a cotton dress, and a pearl necklace.

This outfit is somewhat similar to Gu Fanyan's style, so at first glance, one might mistake it for Gu Fanyan.

“When Miss Gu was bidding, I was working as Lin Shao’s assistant, and I was in charge of this matter.”

Sheng Xin opened her briefcase and took out a stack of documents. "These are the work emails that were exchanged at the time, which clearly prove that Ms. Gu's bidding was open and fair."

She gestured to Lin Zhibai's assistant to take the documents to the board members for review.

The board members passed it around, clearly feeling a sense of relief.

Gu Zheng remained seated, coldly observing everything, neither admitting anything nor showing any annoyance at being refuted.

After reading it, the board members said, "Let's continue the meeting and not let this farce interrupt us."

farce!

The board members have already made their judgment on this matter so quickly!

It seems that the evidence Shengxin brought is indeed very compelling!

After that, Gu Zheng never said anything more.

Lin Zhibai found it increasingly strange. Gu Zheng clearly had something on him, so why didn't he use it to his advantage and cut him where it hurt?

Instead, this is the thing that came to light?

Is it something that can be quelled?

Aren't they afraid of their efforts being in vain?

After the meeting, Lin Zhibai returned to his office and immediately contacted Gu Fanyan.

She didn't show up all afternoon, and he had a strong feeling that something was wrong.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered: "Lin Zhibai, the hospital elevator is stuck, I was trapped inside, and I just got out of danger."

Gu Fanyan's voice sounded somewhat weak and listless.

Lin Zhibai's heart jumped: "How are you? Are you hurt? Wait for me, I'll be right there."

"Don't come yet, how did the meeting go?" She was always concerned about important matters.

"The meeting... I don't know if it went smoothly or not..." Lin Zhibai couldn't sit still any longer. "I'm coming to find you right now."

Gu Fanyan thought for a moment, and judging from Lin Zhibai's words, the "battle" seemed to be far from over.

If he comes to the hospital now and is seen by Lin Guangchen's people, it will be troublesome.

She glanced around; everyone was busy figuring out how to repair the elevator, and only the property management staff had given her a blanket and didn't have time to pay attention to her.

She secretly slipped away.

She and Lin Zhibai arranged to meet in a private room at a restaurant.

Once inside the private room, she took off her hat and sunglasses and breathed a sigh of relief. "Meeting you now feels like something out of a spy movie."

Before she could finish speaking, he was already behind her and pulled her into his arms.

"Are you alright?" He looked her up and down, his eyes filled with concern.

"I was a little nervous in the elevator, but I'm fine now." She pressed her face against his shoulder, drawing a warm sense of comfort.

Her softness easily ignited his passion, and his hard lips couldn't help but press down.

"What are you doing?" She raised her hand to cover his mouth, her brow furrowing. "The time and place are wrong, and how can you even think about this now?"

A wicked smile crept across his lips: "I could have held back, but you had to come."

Gu Fanyan blushed. "Stop being so frivolous, let's talk about something serious."

Lin Zhibai also stopped joking, "You tell me first, what's wrong with the elevator?"

Gu Fanyan recounted what had happened that day; in short, everything happened by chance.

She had intended to rush to the meeting, but Nurse Ren discovered that the prescription was incorrect.

She wanted to see Dr. Li to check the prescription, but the elevator stopped halfway through the journey.

Lin Zhibai's gaze darkened slightly.

"How about you? Did your meeting go well today?" she asked in turn.

Lin Zhibai shook his head and recounted what had happened.

Gu Fanyan was stunned after hearing this. "Sheng Xin... so in the end, it was Sheng Xin who helped you out of that predicament?"

Lin Zhibai was also taken aback. He had said so much, but why was her main focus on Sheng Xin?

“No,” he tried to say, “it doesn’t matter who came to our rescue. What matters is that Gu Zheng’s actions and words were completely different from what we expected.”

“Shengxin helped you out of that predicament, which is different from what we expected!” she said.

Why was her attention still on Sheng Xin? "Sister Fan Yan, what I mean is..." Suddenly, he stopped speaking and smiled.

"Sister Fanyan, are you jealous?" His handsome eyes sparkled.

Gu Fanyan was slightly taken aback, "Who told you this..." but her pretty face turned red.

It was rare to see her so flustered, especially since it was because of him.

Lin Zhibai's heart softened instantly, and he stretched out his arm to pull her into his embrace.

In one place, it had hardened to the point of being as hard as iron.

With her in his arms, Gu Zheng and Lin Guangchen were nothing to him.

He obeyed his heart and body, and without saying a word, he lowered his head and kissed her.

"Lin Zhibai, let's get down to business!" She tried to push and dodge, but there was no way to escape him.

Even if she wanted to dodge, her body couldn't escape; as if it had an automatic, spontaneous will, it pressed itself against his chest.

"Lin Zhibai, this is a private room in the restaurant," she whispered, trying to dissuade him between breaths.

"Don't be afraid." His gentle tone drew her deeper into his words.

He's been patient long enough.

Even if he got her, he still held back, otherwise he would scare her.

The strenuous exercise lasted for a long time before it stopped.

The noise outside gradually subsided, and most of the diners had left, but they hadn't ordered yet.

However, Lin Zhibai is already temporarily satisfied.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Lin Zhibai asked, pulling her into his arms at the same time.

"Hello sir, would you like to order? Our kitchen will be taking a break in half an hour." This was the waiter's voice.

Lin Zhibai agreed, "I will place the order through the app."

He took out his phone, scanned the QR code, and ordered a few light dishes.

Gu Fanyan had already sat up, tidied herself up, and also cleaned up the sofa that the two of them had messed up.

It would be a bit embarrassing if the waiters found out what they had done here.

Lin Zhibai scoffed: "Don't they date?"

Gu Fanyan ignored him and casually tossed his shirt to him, saying, "Put this on."

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Lin Zhibai slowly straightened his clothes.

"I wish I were at home right now," he suddenly added.

"Why?" Gu Fanyan asked.

"After dinner, you can continue doing what you want with your wife without having to move."

Gu Fanyan was speechless; she shouldn't have asked that question in the first place.

The food was served shortly afterward.

Gu Fanyan was indeed a little hungry, so she first served herself a bowl of soup to warm her stomach.

Before we'd even taken a few bites, there was another knock on the door of the private room.

"What is it?" Lin Zhibai asked impatiently.

"Young Master Lin, a few people from the city police station have come and say they need to speak with you about some financial matters," the assistant said from outside the door.

Gu Fanyan was startled, and the spoon in her hand accidentally fell into the bowl with a "bang".
