Chapter 66 Where's My Girlfriend?

Thrallen was being choked and could hardly breathe, his eyes filled with shock.

He never expected that this Eastern businessman, who was known for his composure, would dare to be violent towards him.

The Anderson family's reputation was so great that almost no one dared to challenge them in this land.

But his inherent arrogance did not subdue him; instead, he roared back with wide eyes.

"I don't know! She slipped away like an eel!"

"Check the surveillance footage." Fu Jingchen's voice was completely calm.

Seren's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly as he stiffened his neck and said.

"The surveillance cameras in this area are broken; they stopped working a little while ago."

She cursed inwardly, thinking, "Of course I have to stop. I can't leave evidence of my dirty deeds and give this man something to hold against me."

The sound of a fist being clenched.

The next second, a heavy punch slammed into Seren's face, so hard that he fell sideways onto the sofa, blood instantly seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Seren was completely stunned. He covered his face and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. Someone actually dared to hit someone from the Anderson family?

He roared and lunged forward, his fist swinging fiercely at his opponent, but Fu Jingchen easily blocked it.

The defense was airtight, like a cold wall, and every parry made Thrall's arm go numb.

The opponent's counterattack was swift and ruthless, each punch landing on him with a reckless madness.

Seren felt both absurd and furious.

Has this man gone mad for an assistant?

Just as the two were wrestling more and more intensely, several bodyguards finally rushed in and grabbed Fu Jingchen tightly.

Fu Jingchen abruptly shook them off, his breathing heavy, the dark undercurrent in his eyes almost overflowing, but in the end he did not make another move.

The bodyguards quickly shielded Seren behind them, forming a defensive line that separated the two men with fierce eyes.

Fu Jingchen turned and left without pausing for a moment.

Finding Ruan Yi is the only thing that matters right now; the clamor behind us is like the buzzing of flies, not worth mentioning.

"You're finished!" Seren said, clutching his aching face, his voice filled with anger and malice.

"The Anderson family will never let you get away with this! NovaVoy won't get away with it either!"

Seeing that the other party had no reaction, he changed his tone, his voice filled with a sinister determination to win.

"Unless... you hand over that woman. Give her to me, and we'll pretend today never happened."

The vicious kick she delivered and the fierce look in her eyes only fueled his desire; the more unattainable she was, the more he wanted to hold onto her.

The man finally stopped, but did not turn around.

He turned his head to the side, his eyes as cold as ice, and when he looked at Seren, it was as if he were looking at a corpse that had long since lost its warmth.

“If she has something to do tonight,” he said, his voice low and each word carrying a chilling edge.

"You won't even have a chance to retaliate."

After saying that, he didn't linger and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Seren was momentarily stunned by that gaze, then flew into a rage.

Is this businessman insane?

Why would he ignore a chance for reconciliation and insist on going head-to-head with the Anderson family for a woman? What is he after?

But a stronger sense of curiosity welled up inside me.

Was that woman really that important to him?

He licked the broken skin on his lip, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

The more this is the case, the more he wants to get it.

The room was quiet.

Ruan Yi woke up after a short sleep. Her mind was much clearer, but her body was still a little weak.

She could hear the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. She had vaguely heard it while she was asleep, but she didn't expect it to continue for so long.

Ruan Yi moved her fingers, and felt nothing unusual. She felt neither the expected soreness nor the discomfort of being violated.

This relieved her a little, but a new question arose: who was in the bathroom?

Surely it's not some rough foreign guy with a big beard?

Ruan Yi imagined the man's face full of fat and couldn't help but shudder.

But that wasn't the worst part; what really sent chills down her spine was another possibility.

Could it be... Fu Jingchen in the bathroom?

Ruan Yi clutched the corner of the blanket, her mind in turmoil.

Should I knock on the door and ask? Or should I run away before the other person comes out?

If it really is Fu Jingchen, then...wouldn't things be in complete chaos!

The already blurred lines between the male lead and the female supporting character are about to shatter into pieces. Won't the world collapse?

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. She frantically grabbed the clothes scattered around the bed and put them on, not even bothering to tidy herself up.

Sneaking quietly to the door, gently turning the lock, and like a rabbit running away, dashing out in a flash.

After quite a while, the bathroom door finally opened.

The man walked out, drying his wet blond hair. Water droplets slid down his well-defined collarbone and disappeared into the edge of the towel.

His exposed abdominal muscles were smooth and firm, still glistening with water droplets, and his face showed a slightly dazed expression, as if he had just taken a shower.

But when his gaze swept over the empty bed, he froze instantly.

The bath towel was loosely wrapped around his waist, and the towel in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud." His eyes were wide open, full of confusion.

Where is he? Where is his girlfriend who's so popular?

He scratched his blond hair in frustration, his mind a jumble of thoughts. Had he been in the bathroom too long?

Did she just run away like that?

Ruan Yi was furtively groping around in the corridor, trying to get away from this troublesome place as soon as possible.

If it really is Fu Jingchen, she will resign immediately and stay far away from him, never to see him again.

Just as I was thinking about it, I unexpectedly bumped into a strong embrace around the corner.

A familiar, cool fragrance wafted towards her. Ruan Yi looked up and was so startled she almost bit her tongue off—it was Fu Jingchen!

The moment their eyes met, she felt a strange sense of relief.

It wasn't him. Luckily, the person in the same room as her wasn't him.

But as soon as the thought popped into my head, I felt something was wrong.

She was definitely taken advantage of by a strange man, although it seems like nothing actually happened.

But she was still glad she got on the date. What kind of situation is this?

Ruan Yi's face flushed red and then turned pale. In the end, she could only force a smile that looked worse than crying at Fu Jingchen.

The man's gaze instantly darkened as he looked at the girl's flustered and guilty expression, which was practically written all over her face.

Without saying a word, he reached out and pulled her into his arms with such force that there was no room for refusal, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

The man first looked at her neck, which was fair and smooth, without the red marks he had expected.

When I lifted her wrist again, there were only slight red marks on her delicate skin, as if she had scratched herself, without any marks from restraint.

His gaze swept over her open neckline, revealing a patch of clean skin. Even the thighs exposed by the slit in her skirt showed no signs of being violated.

His taut jawline softened slightly, and Fu Jingchen loosened his grip, pulling her away by her shoulders, his gaze fixed intently on her face.

The violence and anxiety from before had mostly subsided, leaving only a heavy sense of self-reproach, and his voice trembled slightly.

She came here to discuss business, but instead she found herself in this predicament.

"It's my fault for not protecting you properly; I shouldn't have brought you here."

"Xiaoyi, I'm sorry."
