"Tan Fei."
Han Jingchen suddenly said seriously, "Do you remember when I was kidnapped when I was eight years old?"
Tan Fei was stunned. "Of course I remember. Wasn't it Xia Ke who saved you?"
"It's Gu Youran."
Han Jingchen's voice turned cold, "Xia Ke took advantage of this favor."
"Fuck!" Tan Fei suddenly jumped up, "This woman actually..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in.
"President, Xia Ke is clamoring to see you downstairs, and the security guards can't stop her."
"Bang--"
The office door was slammed open.
Xia Ke stumbled in, her carefully styled curly hair sticking to her face, her makeup already smudged by tears.
"Han Jingchen!"
She screamed hysterically, "Do you have to be so ruthless? When my boyfriend proposed, you hired someone to pretend to be my mother and spread those composite photos online!"
"Now the hospital has suspended me. Are you satisfied?"
Han Jingchen stood up slowly, adjusting the cuffs of his suit with his slender fingers.
He had long guessed that all this was done by the blond man who took the eagle badge.
I had originally planned to let Xia Ke go, but I didn't expect her to come to me...
"Doctor Xia," his voice was as cold as ice, "Have you forgotten what you have done?"
Xia Ke trembled all over, but still tried to keep his back straight.
"I saved your life! If I hadn't..."
"When I was eight years old," Han Jingchen interrupted her coldly, "the person who saved me was Gu Youran."
Every word he uttered was as sharp as a knife. "You've been falsely claiming this favor for twenty years. How much benefit have you gained?"
Tan Fei leaned back on the sofa, excitedly took out his cell phone and started recording.
Xia Ke's face turned pale as paper in an instant, "You...you know everything?"
"Not only do I know," Han Jingchen's eyes were sharp, "I also know that there is someone who doesn't want to let you go even more than I do. Those things you just mentioned were all done by that person. You'd better wish you the best."
Xia Ke's legs went weak and she fell to her knees.
"How could this happen... I know I was wrong, Jingchen, help me, one last time..."
"It's too late."
Han Jingchen looked straight at her and said, "From the day you falsely claimed to have saved my life, you should have expected this day to come."
He winked at Jiang Yuan and said, "Send the evidence of accepting red envelopes from patients' families to the National Health and Family Planning Commission."
His gaze fell on Xia Ke again. "Seventeen admissions in just half a year. Doctor Xia has quite a big appetite."
Tan Fei interjected with a gloating tone, "I heard that you and Deputy Director Zhao's son broke up? What a shame, that was your last life-saving talisman."
Xia Ke was trembling all over, and her carefully applied makeup had already been ruined.
She suddenly realized that the man in front of her, who had once indulged her in every way, now looked at her as if he were a pile of garbage.
"Take her out." Han Jingchen pressed the intercom line.
Xia Ke completely collapsed and was dragged out by security while screaming hysterically.
The office returned to silence.
Tan Fei put away his phone and exclaimed in amazement, "Jingchen, this trick of yours is quite ruthless."
Han Jingchen sat back in the leather chair. "I don't want to waste time on her. Jiang Yuan, go check on Shi Heng and Gu Youran's recent movements."
Tan Fei suddenly jumped up from the sofa, "Wait! You don't want to chase Gu Youran, do you? She's already with Shi Heng..."
"It's not what you think."
Han Jingchen raised his hand to interrupt, a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes, "This time, I want to protect her."
Jiang Yuan and Tan Fei looked at each other, both of their faces full of confusion.
Han Jingchen stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, with no intention of explaining further.
"Jiang Yuan, go check."
Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and left the office.
Tan Fei stood in place, his eyes fixed on Han Jingchen's tall back.
The sunlight shone through the glass onto him, outlining a cold and hard outline.
Tan Fei suddenly felt that this brother who had grown up with him was now so unfamiliar that it was frightening.
The office was eerily quiet.
Tan Fei held his breath unconsciously.
At this moment, he clearly felt that something in Han Jingchen had completely changed.
…
At the same time.
Mu Xuewei woke up with a startling chill and a dull pain in the back of her head.
She struggled to stand up and found herself kneeling on the cold bluestone slabs, her knees hurting.
The air was filled with a strong scent of sandalwood, candlelight flickered all around, and strange runes were carved on the walls.
This is neither a hospital nor a prison.
This is a completely unfamiliar stone chamber.
Memories came flooding back:
The videos Shi Heng played at the engagement party, Chu Beiyuan's pale face, the guests pointing and laughing...
Her nails dug deep into her palms, blood seeping out from between her fingers, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
"Shi Heng......!"
She screamed hysterically, her hoarse voice echoing in the sealed stone chamber.
"You ruined everything for me for that bitch!"
She caught a glimpse of the scattered mirror fragments on the ground in her peripheral vision and picked up a piece with trembling hands.
The sharp edge cut my finger, but I didn't feel any pain.
The mirror reflected her miserable appearance.
The million-dollar haute couture dress was covered in blood and mud, her carefully styled curly hair was messy like hay, and under her tear-stained makeup were a pair of red eyes.
"Hate?"
A deep male voice came from the shadows, with a hint of temptation.
