Chapter Seventy: She Discovered Hozan's Secret
In the darkness, the senses are amplified infinitely.
Su Muci lay stiffly, feeling the mattress sag under his weight, and smelling his familiar cool fragrance...
It's him!
This realization exploded in her mind like a thunderbolt.
Could it be that the strange feeling in my thigh when I woke up last time wasn't a dream?
But... why would Mr. Huo sneak into her room in the middle of the night?
He had always been restrained and distant towards her, and even the occasional kisses were only within the scope of his agreement. Could it be that he had discovered her secret of stealing his shirt?
The thought terrified her, and she dared not open her eyes, unsure how to face this out-of-control situation.
She could only keep her eyes tightly closed, but her eyelashes trembled violently uncontrollably.
In the darkness, Huo Zhan did not notice her unusual behavior. His tall and heavy body pressed down on her with an irresistible pressure.
The burning, scalding kiss, like a surging tide, instantly engulfed her...
"Why?"
Between his ragged breaths, he uttered a hoarse question: "Why don't you reply to my messages? Why, no matter what I do, is your heart still unwilling to stay by my side?"
Upon hearing this, Su Muci's heart trembled violently, and her breath suddenly stopped.
Who is he talking about?
Is it because Loulan left that you are so heartbroken?
But she's not the Loulan sister.
A bitter feeling welled up in Su Muchi's heart.
Receiving no response, the man on top of her spoke in a low, dangerous voice: "Since you care about him so much, then... don't blame me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a passionate kiss covered her lips again. This time, it was no longer a lingering exploration, but a fierce, predatory one. He forcefully pried open her teeth, penetrating deeply and entwining her, as if he wanted to dismantle her whole being and devour her...
Su Muchi's mind went blank under the attack.
He seemed really sad...
She could feel his sadness, but his kiss was too intense, reckless, so impulsive that he wasn't even afraid of waking her up!
In the end, Su Muci's breathing weakened from his kisses, and she fainted.
When she woke up again, as she expected, the room was empty except for herself.
The hickeys on his body proved that what happened last night was not an illusion.
Filled with surprise and confusion, she washed up and went downstairs. The maid respectfully informed her, "Madam, the master left early this morning and told you to make your own breakfast."
Su Muci's heart sank suddenly.
He's gone?
She had mustered up her courage to ask him about what happened last night, but he clearly... didn't want to explain to her.
After she finished breakfast, she returned to her room.
His gaze fell on the men's shirt she had secretly treasured, and his mind was in turmoil.
Was it because he discovered this shirt and, like Fu Hengzhi, concluded that she was a shameless woman, that he used her to relieve his emotional distress? Did he really see her as such a lowly person?
Su Muci picked up the shirt with trembling hands. No matter what, she decided to put it back where it belonged while he was away.
The door to the master bedroom was gently pushed open.
A chill swept over me, as if no one had ever lived there.
She walked quietly to the huge wardrobe and pushed open the door.
Following her memory, she carefully put the shirt back in its original place.
Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, my gaze inadvertently swept over a half-open drawer inside the wardrobe.
When they saw the item lying quietly inside, their pupils suddenly contracted—
Inside were her lace lingerie that had disappeared while she lived in the apartment!
...
Meanwhile, the top-floor conference room of the Fu Group was filled with numerous shareholders.
This meeting was also a crucial one in determining whether Fu Hengzhi could succeed Fu Leiting as chairman.
When he confidently presented his inaugural address, which he had prepared over the past few days, on the public screen, he noticed that the expressions of the shareholders below had suddenly changed.
Fu Hengzhi frowned, turned to look at the public chat, and froze.
On the left side of the screen is his Master of Finance degree certificate, and on the right side is a chat log of Fu Hengzhi buying the certificate!
"What's going on? Young Master Fu's academic credentials are fake! Then what qualifications does he have to inherit the chairman's position?! Isn't this ridiculous?!"
Some of the shareholders spoke out in anger.
Fu Hengzhi panicked. Who did this?! This was his most secretive secret; even his father didn't know his overseas degree was fake! Who investigated him?!
In his confusion, he accidentally clicked on the next page.
Immediately afterwards, another message appeared on the public screen: it was a record of Fu Hengzhi embezzling company funds to pay off 500 million yuan of personal debts after inheriting the shares!
Now the shareholders were completely uneasy:
"Young Master Fu, please explain yourself clearly! Otherwise, I will be the first to disagree with you taking over the chairman's position!"
"I……"
Fu Hengzhi's face had already turned deathly pale. He had just embezzled 500 million yuan of public funds yesterday, and he had already been caught red-handed so quickly!
Who on earth is reaching so far! They've practically reached into his crotch!
Suddenly, Fu Hengzhi looked at Huo Zhan.
Huo Zhan is sitting here today as Zero, the representative of Huo Group, one of the shareholders of Fu Group.
He sat casually in the head seat among the shareholders, wearing a perfectly tailored dark suit, and calmly began, "Chairman Fu is hospitalized, and Young Master Fu has embezzled public funds. It seems that no one in the Fu family is capable of taking over the group's operations. I propose that the Huo Group appoint a professional manager..."
"etc!"
Fu Hengzhi clenched his fists. He couldn't let the chairman's position he had just secured slip away!
"These things are all fabricated. Mr. Zero, isn't it too hasty to convict me like this?"
Huo Zhan narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Since witnessing that scene on the roadside yesterday, he has completely lost his patience.
He used to be wary of him dealing with Fu Hengzhi, fearing that Cici would blame him, but now, he could no longer tolerate it.
He leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed precisely on Fu Hengzhi's disheveled state, and said methodically:
"This is a shareholders' meeting, where we discuss business decisions that directly affect the interests of everyone present. I'm not a police officer; I don't accuse anyone, I only consider the risks. As things stand, if you were to assume the chairmanship, the Huo Group's continued investment in the Fu Group would be extremely risky. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"you!"
Fu Hengzhi was speechless, his face turning ashen. He turned to the other shareholders and tried to appeal to their emotions: "Please, uncles and elders, for my father's sake, believe me!"
Among the old shareholders was a close friend of Fu Leiting, with whom he had a deep relationship. Upon hearing Fu Hengzhi's words, he hesitated.
Huo Zhan glanced indifferently at the shareholders:
"The Huo family invests in the Fu family group because they value the Fu family group's reputation and prestige in Jiangcheng. If the group's top decision-maker faces a fatal risk, the Huo family group will withdraw its investment, and the Fu family will bear all the consequences."
After he finished speaking, the other shareholders looked at each other in bewilderment.
Fu Hengzhi became anxious: "Zeron! You're just President Huo's special assistant. Do you think you can just withdraw your investment like that?"
Huo Zhan's tone was calm and composed: "Whether my words count or not, Young Master Fu is welcome to take a gamble. It all depends on whether the other shareholders are willing to bet with you."
One shareholder was quick to voice their support: "I agree with Mr. Zero's suggestion that a professional manager should temporarily take over the management of the group!"
The other shareholders echoed this sentiment.
Fu Hengzhi instantly became an empty shell with only shares but no real power, and suddenly lost his strength, slumping into a chair.
When he came to his senses, he glared at Zero with bloodshot eyes!
After the meeting ended, Fu Hengzhi stopped Huo Zhan.
He whispered in Hozan's ear:
"You had my speech replaced, didn't you? I admit, I can't outmaneuver you old foxes when it comes to dirty tricks. But Zero, you've gone to such lengths to deal with me because Su Muci confessed her feelings to me online a few days ago. Am I right?"
Huo Zhan instantly exuded a dark aura.
Fu Hengzhi smiled, "You guessed right!"
He felt something was off the moment he saw them leaving the movie theater that day, plus later on, Su Su always had a big spender supporting her during her live streams...
He's a man too, how could he not see through Zero's thoughts?
"What a pity," Fu Hengzhi said in a provocative tone, having suffered a crushing defeat at the shareholders' meeting today and only wanting to turn the tables, "The woman you've set your sights on only loves me. No matter how I torment her, she loves me to death!"
"Bang--"
A sudden, fierce punch landed without warning, and Fu Hengzhi instantly lost a tooth.
