Lan Bing held onto the transparent glass curtain wall with one hand, her body leaning slightly forward, as if she might fall at any moment. Her other hand was held tightly by Wang Hu, as if afraid that she would suddenly break free.

The neat bun that had been perched atop her head was now loose, transformed into a head of sexy, large curls that cascaded naturally over her shoulders. The waterfall-like strands swayed gently with her movements, radiating a captivating sheen.

Lan Bing swept all her sexy hair to the left, revealing her fair neck and delicate collarbone. She gently bit her lower lip, turned her head slightly, and looked at Wang Hu with tender affection, a hint of shyness and anticipation in her eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Hu couldn't help but smile mischievously. He slowly approached Lan Bing from behind, gently cupped her cheek with his hand, and then kissed her alluring red lips without hesitation.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and the whole world consisted of only the two of them. Their lips were pressed tightly together, feeling each other's warmth and breath.

After an unknown amount of time, Lan Bing's body suddenly went limp, and she fell into a deep sleep. Wang Hu carefully carried her to the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then quietly left the room.

At noon, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting golden rays into the room. Lan Bing lay quietly on the bed, breathing steadily, fast asleep.

Meanwhile, Wang Hu arrived at the hotel's temporary conference room. It was originally an ordinary room in the hotel, but after Wang Hu rented it, it became his temporary office.

Wang Hu pushed open the door and walked in. Mu Yun was already sitting at the conference table. Seeing Wang Hu enter, he immediately stood up and said, "President Wang, this morning we did our best to have someone investigate this Song Mingyuan."

Wang Hu walked to the conference table, sat down, and gently tapped the table, signaling Mu Yun to continue.

Mu Yun cleared his throat and continued, "Based on the information we have so far, Song Mingyuan has a very bad reputation. He often uses his family's connections to threaten external developers. Once he gets a project, he often cuts corners to maximize his profits."

Wang Hu frowned. Director Lin had already mentioned this information that morning. He was just about to say something when Mu Yun continued, "Moreover, this person is indeed as Director Lin said, using insidious methods. He hires thugs to cause trouble at the construction site, kidnap and extort money, and even run people over with dump trucks!"

Wang Hu asked, "Isn't anyone going to deal with this guy who's so arrogant? His father, who works at the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, doesn't have that much power, does he?"

Mu Yun said, "I heard that this Grandpa Song Mingyuan is in the Public Security Bureau, but there are no specific investigation results yet. This is just hearsay!"

Wang Hu thought for a moment and then called Zhao Lin to ask if he had heard of this Song Mingyuan!

After receiving the call, Zhao Lin chuckled and said, "Wang Hu, you're still messing around here while clinging to Lan Bing, this big shot? The Lan family has been deeply rooted in Henan for many years. Although the Lan family has also been impacted this time, even a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Her cousin is still holding an important position in the provincial department. Song Mingyuan is just showing off his skills in front of the Lan family's power."

“But then again,” Zhao Lin said with a hint of teasing, “you two are sleeping together, and you’re still hugging the golden doll without warming your hands. If Lan Bing makes a simple phone call, that kid will probably kneel down on his knees!”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Hu rubbed his chin with his right hand, his brows furrowed, lost in thought. He pondered to himself that if Lan Bing had the ability to help, she probably would have already stepped in to assist, but she hadn't mentioned it at all; there must be some unspeakable reason behind it.

Although Wang Hu is somewhat unreliable in matters of the heart, and could even be described as a scumbag, he has one principle: he will never let his woman get into trouble.

Thinking of this, Wang Hu waved his hand and said to Mu Yun, who was standing to the side, "Alright, you go ahead and get busy! First, find a reliable security company to ensure the safety of our employees and Professor Luo!"

"Okay, Mr. Wang!" Mu Yun replied, turned and left, leaving Wang Hu alone in the office.

Wang Hu walked to the window, gazing at the scenery outside, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the table. He hesitated, unsure whether he should personally go to the provincial capital to investigate Song Mingyuan's background.

Wang Hu has always been a decisive person; once he has an idea, he will immediately put it into action. Without hesitation, he booked a train ticket to the provincial capital for tomorrow on his mobile phone.

I thought I'd get more detailed information later tonight, so at least I could get a general understanding of the situation and avoid wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly.

After arranging his itinerary, Wang Hu returned to his room and found Lan Bing still fast asleep. He tiptoed out of the room and went downstairs alone to find a place to eat.

However, to Wang Hu's utter surprise, he unexpectedly ran into Liu Ying, Zhang Yun, and Shi Yuanfeng as he entered a food stall.

Upon seeing Wang Hu, Shi Yuanfeng immediately glared at him angrily. In his mind, Wang Hu had forced himself on his girlfriend, and he never considered that Tian Lin had long disliked him!

In stark contrast to Shi Yuanfeng was Zhang Yun, who, like a lapdog wagging its tail, strode quickly toward Wang Hu with a fawning expression, enthusiastically calling out, "Oh my! Old classmate, what brings you here for dinner? Come on, come on, join us!"

Actually, Zhang Yun was eyeing the airport project that Wang Hu was working on. He secretly thought that even if he could only get a small sub-project from it, the profits would still be considerable!

Looking at Shi Yuanfeng's angry gaze, Wang Hu replied with a half-smile, "Oh? Is that so? But it seems like someone isn't too happy to see me!"

However, Zhang Yun didn't care about Shi Yuanfeng's thoughts. To him, as long as he could make money, he could have as many of these so-called cronies as he wanted. So, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "Ignore him. He can eat or not, if he doesn't want to, just let him leave!"

It was a square table, and Wang Hu sat down directly opposite Liu Ying. A subtle, slightly wicked smile played on his lips as he looked directly at Liu Ying.

Liu Ying naturally noticed Wang Hu's expression, and her heart skipped a beat. She nervously nudged Wang Hu under the table, signaling him to tone it down a bit.

Wang Hu misunderstood, thinking Liu Ying enjoyed this slightly provocative style, and became even more unrestrained. He swiftly reached out, grabbed Liu Ying's foot, and effortlessly removed her high heels.

As Liu Ying felt Wang Hu's large hands kneading her feet, her face involuntarily began to flush red!

Apart from Wang Hu, no one noticed that Zhang Yun was trying to get close to Wang Hu!

Zhang Yun shamelessly said, "My old classmate has made a fortune, can you give me a hand?"
