Chapter Thirty-Eight: Fu Hengzhi Abducted Her
Hearing Huo Zhan's praise, Su Muchi felt a warmth in her throat.
“Mr. Huo, from the moment we met you have given me confidence. Thank you.”
"No need to thank me, after all, I have my own conditions."
The word "conditions" reminded Su Muci of something, and she asked, "What does Mr. Huo need me to do?"
Huo Zhan didn't beat around the bush and handed her a top-secret operational plan crafted by professionals.
"I need you to win the annual anchor selection competition early next month."
Su Muci held the operational plan, her palms trembling: "I..."
Huo Zhan added, "The day you win the championship will be the day the Zhou family goes bankrupt."
Su Muci's eyes lit up.
After regaining my composure, I gripped the operations plan tightly in my hand and said, "Okay, I will definitely do my best."
Huo Zhan's cell phone rang abruptly.
He frowned as he answered the phone, and Cheng Siyu's voice came through: "President Huo, the treatment is ready."
Huo Zhan: "Hmm."
After hanging up the phone, he said to Su Muci, "I'll take you back to your apartment."
Su Muci could tell he had personal matters to attend to, so she shook her head and politely declined, "No need, Mr. Huo, you're busy. I'll wander around outside for a bit before going back."
For some reason, Huo Zhan felt his eyelids twitching.
He thought it might be due to the effects of those electrotherapy sessions.
Two more electrotherapy sessions will make it less likely for that impulse in my body to get out of control.
At least I can maintain emotional stability and spend some time living with her.
Huo Zhan wasted no more time. After suppressing the strange feeling in his eyelids, he called over the waiter and pointed to the wine glass in front of him: "Pack this up for me."
waiter:"???"
Want some takeaway wine glasses?
Su Muci was stunned for a few seconds when she heard this.
As she followed Huo Zhan out of the restaurant and watched him get into his car and drive away, she couldn't help but send a text message to her best friend: "Your brother has really unique tastes..."
Huo Junjun's flashback:
【You want to complain too, right? I agree, why get such a non-mainstream blonde haircut at his age? My grandpa scolded him, and he obediently dyed his hair back to normal!】
【Huh? Big blond guy?】
[Oh, I'll tell you later. My uncle's property lawsuit is driving me crazy, sob sob... Earning a million is really hard! Bye, bye, back to work!]
Su Muci frowned as she looked at the messages on her phone.
When did Mr. Huo dye his hair again?
Before she could think further, a black van stopped unexpectedly not far in front of her.
The car door suddenly opened, and two burly men jumped out and dragged Su Muci into the car without saying a word!
Su Muci panicked: "Who are you people? Let me go..."
Before she could finish her question, one of the men, his face flashing with impatience, struck her hard on the back of the neck!
A sharp pain struck, and everything went black before her eyes.
At the restaurant entrance, Huo Zhan's private bodyguard was distracted for a moment, and when he turned around again, he found that Su Muci was gone!
They went to the nearby street corner and searched for nearly an hour, but couldn't find her. They then went to Su Muci's apartment, but there was no one there either.
The bodyguard finally sensed something was wrong and nervously called his boss:
"Mr. Huo, Miss Su has disappeared!"
Cheng Siyu, who was answering the phone, glanced at Huo Zhan, who had just fallen asleep on the electrotherapy bed, and fell into deep thought.
...
In the suburbs of Jiangcheng, in an abandoned, long-delayed building, the walls are surrounded by exposed cement.
Su Muci regained consciousness amidst waves of dull pain.
The first thing that assaults the senses is the heavy smell of dust and mold in the air.
She struggled to open her heavy eyelids and found herself lying on the ground, her hands tightly bound by rough hemp rope, unable to move.
What's going on?!
"woke up?"
A deep, familiar voice suddenly rang out.
Her gaze slowly focused, and she saw the figure sitting against the light not far away!
His pupils widened in disbelief: "Fu Hengzhi!"
Fu Hengzhi, dressed in a hospital gown, sat comfortably on an expensive leather sofa, its luxuriousness clashing with the dilapidated surroundings.
The cigarette butt held between his fingers flickered in the dim light.
The rising smoke obscured his expression, but his eyes, fixed on her, held a chilling coldness in the dim light.
"Fu Hengzhi, what do you mean by this? Illegal detention is a crime!"
She tried to make her voice sound calm, but the slight tremor betrayed her inner fear.
"crime?"
Fu Hengzhi scoffed, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and crushed it out with the sole of his shoe.
He stood up, his tall figure casting an oppressive shadow in the afternoon light, and walked towards her step by step.
"Su Muci, when you did those things to Ying'er and Xiao Qi, did you never think about committing a crime?"
He stopped in front of her, leaned down, and his cold fingers suddenly gripped her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.
A fierce hatred surged in his eyes: "I really didn't expect you to be so despicable as to threaten Ying'er with a dog's ashes just to get me! Where are Xiao Qi's ashes? Tell me!"
A sharp pain shot through her jaw, causing Su Muci to furrow her brows in agony, but she felt an overwhelming sense of absurdity and despair.
"Did Zhou Mengying tell you this? You believe everything she says? Have you ever thought about how, if I really had such threatening means, how could you have forced me to the rooftop in the first place!"
"Still trying to argue your way out?"
Fu Hengzhi's fingers, which were gripping her chin, tightened suddenly. "I gave you a chance to reflect, but instead of reflecting, you tried to seduce me time and time again. Now you've even forced Ying'er to break up with me. Since that's the case, then don't blame me!"
At this point, he disgustedly shoved Su Muci aside and winked at the four burly men beside him.
The four men immediately understood, their faces contorted with sinister smiles, and they approached Su Muci step by step.
Su Muci's heart clenched suddenly, gripped by immense fear, and she cried out in panic, "What are you doing! Fu Hengzhi, what do you want to do to me!"
Fu Hengzhi's expression was as cold as ice: "Su Muci, I, Fu Hengzhi, have been playing with you for three years, but that's no excuse for you to overestimate yourself and seduce me. You only have yourself to blame!"
"Let's do it!"
After giving the order, he stood up and turned his back, letting the burly man rudely approach him.
"Don't come any closer! No!"
Su Muci was so frightened that she curled up her legs and tried her best to back away.
Suddenly, a large hand gripped her ankle, and in that instant, Su Muci's blood seemed to freeze.
"Let me go!"
Hiss—
The sound of tearing fabric was particularly jarring in the empty, unfinished building.
Another filthy hand eagerly reached for her waist, and a heavy male body pressed down on her, emitting a nauseating stench.
Despair washed over her like a cold tide, drowning out Su Muci's reason.
"Get away! Get away! Don't touch me!"
She screamed and cried out, tears streaming down her face, blurring her vision.
In the struggle, a voice pierced through the gaps in the crowd, as if using all its strength to accuse and roar: "Fu Hengzhi! What did I do wrong? Just because I was blind to love you, do I deserve to be trampled on by you?"
"For the past three years, I've been completely honest with you, so why are you treating me like this... why!"
The heart-wrenching question pierced Fu Hengzhi's eardrums.
His hand, hanging by his side, unconsciously twitched slightly.
