Chapter Twenty-Four: The Beast Within Has Been Awakened
Su Muci's face turned completely red in an instant.
Her voice was barely audible: "Mr. Huo, I...I..."
"Afraid of me?"
Huo Zhan leaned closer: "You're so afraid just to go to my room? What will you do when you marry me and live with me?"
Su Muci's heart tightened upon hearing the following.
He was very close to her, and his warm breath made her cheeks blush even more as he spoke…
I felt like if he got any closer, he would kiss me.
She gasped for breath, her eyelashes trembled violently, and she couldn't help but swallow.
I originally thought my best friend's brother was just an ordinary rich kid with no ambitions, just waiting to inherit the family's small radio station and live a peaceful and comfortable life.
But now it seems that he has great ambitions.
Today's live PK, on the surface, was Xiaobaibai's initiative to provoke and get slapped in the face, but upon closer inspection, it was all Huo Zhan's trap.
He arranged for her to join GX radio station and had the station's top anchor take her on the "Heartbeat Voice" program, deliberately attracting attention and setting a trap.
After Zhou entered the game, he immediately encouraged her to agree to the PK, which was a way to lure the enemy in.
When it came time for the PK (player kill) round, her best friend Huo Junjun, who supported her, suddenly received a huge advance payment for the commission. The timing was too coincidental.
This made her suspicious...
"Mr. Huo, you facilitated the two million yuan advance payment for Junjun's lawsuit. Your purpose was to use her to help me win the PK in the live broadcast, right?"
Huo Zhan's eyes darkened, and the fingers gripping her chin involuntarily tightened. His Adam's apple bobbed as he said, "Yes."
He originally planned to personally escort her, but changed his mind at the last minute and used his niece Huo Junjun's help instead.
Firstly, his currency unit is different from that of ordinary people, and his personal tipping might easily frighten the small town of Jiangcheng.
Secondly, we cannot put too much pressure on the Zhou family. If the pressure is too low, that clown will dare to jump into an even bigger trap.
"Do you still think I'm afraid of the Zhou and Fu families joining forces?"
"No more..."
Su Muci no longer felt that he was afraid.
Her back was pressed against the wall, her body trapped in the corner by him, her chin held in his hand. When their eyes met, she clearly saw the ambition surging in the depths of his eyes...
His gaze seemed to declare that, let alone the Zhou and Fu families joining forces, he had the confidence to crush anything or anyone in the world that dared to stand in his way.
Without hesitation or fear, only the absolute confidence of a superior in having everything under control, she couldn't even entertain the slightest thought of doubt.
His assertiveness towards her today inexplicably reminded her of someone—the younger brother-in-law that her best friend Huo Junjun had mentioned!
The words Huo Junjun had said flashed through my mind.
"He completed his undergraduate studies in law, business, and economics at the age of 10, earned dual master's degrees in finance and management at 14, and started his own business from scratch at 16..."
“I would feel like I’m a complete failure, and I would constantly question myself about why I don’t work harder and why I’m so useless…”
Every word of Huo Junjun echoed in her ears. Huo Junjun was under so much pressure, so her brother Huo Zhan must not be doing much better.
A glint of light flickered in her eyes: "Mr. Huo, you and Junjun... must be very tired?"
"tired?"
Huo Zhan visibly stiffened upon hearing this word.
Su Muci explained, "Junjun told me that you have a genius uncle as a comparison. She works hard so that her uncle won't see her as a novice."
"I think Mr. Huo is probably under this pressure, which is why he's so eager to start a family and to crush the Zhou family, GX Radio's competitor..."
"While I also hope Mr. Huo succeeds, I still hope he takes good care of his health and doesn't put too much pressure on himself..."
At this point, Su Muci's eyes darkened.
Filled with hatred, she knew all too well how unbearable it was to feel like every cell in her body was being suffocated.
She wanted to tell Huo Junjun the same things she had said to Huo Zhan today.
She instinctively hoped that those who had helped her wouldn't have to endure this suffocating pressure and pain.
She didn't notice at all that after she finished speaking, the man in front of her suddenly became intensely passionate.
In his youth, to avoid being locked in a dark room, he devoured books that seemed like mountains day and night, and no one asked him if he was tired.
As he grew up, in order to satisfy his mother's dignity, he traveled all over the country to conduct market research and business negotiations, sometimes eating a meal and sometimes not, and no one advised him to take care of his health.
Today, for the first time, a girl said something like that to him...
He couldn't help but react.
When psychological reactions become so intense that they become uncontrollable, physical reactions become the only option.
His hoarse, magnetic voice murmured, "If I had known I would be able to help Miss Su today after all the hardship of the past, I should have worked even harder."
"What?"
Su Muci was lost in thought for a moment, and when she came to her senses, he let go of her.
He turned away hastily and urgently, and said in a low voice, "Good night, Miss Su."
"?"
Su Muci stared at his tall and straight back, momentarily stunned.
For some reason, she sensed a strong aura of danger lurking around him.
It seemed as if it might transform into a ferocious beast at any moment, turning around and pouncing on you, tearing you apart...
Mr. Huo has always been very calm and measured. Even though he is very cunning and shrewd when dealing with business competitors, he has never harmed her.
She couldn't explain why she suddenly had this feeling.
Was it because she was imprisoned for five years and felt insecure about the people around her, or because she was deceived by Fu Hengzhi for three years and found it difficult to trust others?
Su Muci's doubts were gradually overwhelmed by a sense of guilt. Whatever the reason, she shouldn't have kept thinking of such a good person as a pervert.
"Mr. Huo, I hope all your wishes come true and your dreams come true. Good night."
After saying goodbye, Su Muci walked past him toward the elevator.
She had no idea that the moment she brushed past him, Huo Zhan's muscles were stiff as if they were about to explode.
He clenched his fists instinctively, suppressing the surging desire within him.
Once the evil thoughts in one's heart are awakened, they will surge ever more fiercely:
What an innocent girl! She's worried you'll get tired?
How could you be tired? You have boundless energy; you could do whatever you want to her!
Go! She hasn't gone far, and the elevator won't be here anytime soon! Stop her, cover her mouth, and carry her back to the room!
Upon hearing these demonic voices, Huo Zhan's pupils constricted, and the muscles on the top of his head throbbed violently.
"bite--"
The elevator arrived, and Su Muci stepped inside.
Huo Zhan remained standing in the corridor with his back to her, his feet firmly planted on the floor.
Even with the elevator doors closing, separating her from him, the beast within him remained untamed, its roar echoing repeatedly:
[Don't you already know her room code? Go to her apartment now!]
If you love her, just go and have her, forget about morality and law! Get her body, and you'll get her heart!
Go! Get into her bed tonight!
