Wen Zhaonian looked down at the sound and met Li Tangyan's clear eyes.
As if to deliberately create the illusion that I was fierce, she frowned and puffed out her cheeks slightly.
However, Wen Zhaonian found these reactions utterly ineffective and lacking in any deterrent power.
With her personality, forget about playing around.
You're lucky if you don't get hung up and roasted to eat when you go in.
Like a squirrel, it makes you want to pinch its chubby cheeks and force it to spit out all the nuts it's hiding, one by one.
Wen Zhaonian ignored her complaints and quickly looked away.
As we brushed past each other, the lingering scent of soap in our nostrils remained.
Before Li Tangyan could even catch the fleeting smile that curved her lips, she said, "Stay close to me later. If you get lost, I won't be responsible and will have the information desk call you over the loudspeaker."
"...Wen Zhaonian, who are you cursing?!"
Finally, just as Wen Zhaonian was about to stride up the steps, he heard Li Tangyan's voice behind him, sounding exasperated but slightly panting as she ran over.
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhaonian stopped and glanced at his wristwatch, raising an eyebrow slightly:
15 seconds, that's not too slow.

Knowing that Wen Zhaonian and his companion would be coming to inquire about the situation that evening, Zhang Daren, the person in charge of the club, was already waiting in his office.
As soon as the two entered, he stood up to greet them, a fake smile typical of seasoned businessmen plastered on his face: "You've arrived! I'm so sorry, I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't been able to find the time to come. Please forgive me..."
Earlier, Wen Zhaonian and Li Tangyan had already come to find out about the situation at the time of the incident, as well as the fact that He Yu'an was fired for no reason.
However, the person in charge here kept postponing the meeting, citing reasons such as not being able to find the time, until today.
Zhang Daren's insincere pleasantries did not attract Wen Zhaonian's attention at all.
The documents resting on my lap made a soft rustling sound as my fingers turned the pages.
His long eyelashes remained still, his expression languid, as if he were the master of this place: "Let's talk, you know the situation."
Wen Zhaonian's attitude of not bothering with pretense caused Zhang Daren, who had been smiling and ready to take control, to freeze.
At the same time, a slight sense of dissatisfaction arose in my heart because I felt ignored, but I quickly returned to normal.
He spread his hands, looking completely at ease, ready to answer any questions.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Zhaonian raised his head, turned his face slightly, and met Li Tangyan's gaze.
Although they didn't speak, they understood each other perfectly, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Li Tangyan took out a recording pen that she had prepared beforehand and placed it in front of Zhang Daren: "Let's begin."
Half an hour later, even though Li Tangyan considered herself to have a good temper, she just wanted to throw the recording pen in Zhang Daren's face when he was still smiling.
All this time wasted talking is nonsense. In short, He Yu'an himself had ulterior motives and overstepped his authority to disturb the customer's enjoyment on the day the two had a conflict.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she lowered her voice considerably: "Mr. Zhang, you should speak from the heart."
How come He Yu'an, whom everyone says is kind and benevolent, has become a greedy and despicable person in his mouth?
In response, Zhang Daren remained unabashedly confident: "I have always had an excellent reputation and never tell lies."
"you-"
The moment Li Tangyan stood up, she felt a tight grip on her wrist. Turning around, she saw the hand that was holding her wrist.
The back of his hand tensed slightly with his movements, revealing faint veins.
"Li Tangyan." This was the first time Wen Zhaonian had called her that, though his voice was low and lacked much emotion.
But it was like a refreshing spring in the sweltering summer, easily soothing the rising restlessness in her heart.
Li Tangyan retreated to Wen Zhaonian's side, and then watched as Wen Zhaonian looked down at Zhang Daren, who was still sitting upright on the sofa.
His imposing manner made it seem as if the person before him was merely an ant that could be crushed with a flick of his wrist.
Zhang Daren, who initially felt he had the upper hand, may now be aware of this strange imbalance.
Xu Xu touched the bridge of his nose and then stood up.
He seemed to be trying to reduce this sense of weakness, but he overlooked the height difference between himself and Wen Zhaonian, and in an instant, he appeared even less imposing.
Seeing this, Li Tangyan's previously stern face relaxed slightly.
In his moment of relief, Wen Zhaonian slowly said, "I need you to provide the surveillance footage of Zhou Yong on the day he was drunk."
Each word landed, yet the tone was not one of inquiry.
Just when Li Tangyan thought he wouldn't hand it over so easily, Zhang Daren did indeed start making excuses to refuse.
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhaonian merely scoffed.
She parted her thin lips slightly and whispered something in his ear.
Soon, cracks appeared on Zhang Daren's face, which was wearing a fake smile, until it revealed the panic hidden deep within...
When Wen Zhaonian came out of Zhang Daren's office, he had a USB flash drive in his hand.
Li Tangyan turned her head to look at Wen Zhaonian from both sides, her smiling face practically saying, "How do you know this club is shady and has illicit transactions?"
"We were just bluffing him, who knew we'd actually get something out of him." Wen Zhaonian curled his lip, a hint of mockery flashing across his face as he recalled Zhang Daren's last expression.
After speaking, he glanced over and his gaze fell on Li Tangyan, who was stunned by the unexpected answer.
He almost let out an uncontrollable chuckle as his throat moved.
