"I don't know either. I'm just a weak woman. I didn't even have a chance to react before I was taken into the car. I'm so miserable. Mr. Huo, I shouldn't have argued with you yesterday. I wouldn't have ended up being bullied outside. Heavens!"
Xun Ting covered her face and lowered her head, looking wronged. She secretly glanced at the man a few times with her two fingers spread apart.
She noticed that the man's expression had indeed improved, and the hostility in the air had dissipated. She was secretly pleased; it seemed that playing the victim was quite effective. She cried even harder.
"I walked alone all night in the pitch black, feeling exhausted, cold, and miserable."
Huo Lin glanced at her; she was clean and unharmed. When he saw the way she was stealing glances at him, he understood: the little liar wasn't telling the truth.
"Let's go in and eat first."
Xun Ting thought he had passed the test and was about to go in when he saw the big dog in front of him and stopped in his tracks. "Master Huo, let's go in together."
"Mm." Huo Lin didn't hesitate to reach out and firmly grasp her hand, letting her walk beside him.
The servant immediately brought out the freshly prepared dishes, arranged them neatly, and then stood respectfully to the side.
Without seeing the food, Xun Ting almost forgot she was hungry. She pulled out a chair, sat down at the table, and started eating.
Huo Lin sent a text message telling them not to look anymore, and also asked Assistant Gu to investigate whether she had been wronged, since this was the first time she had played the victim.
What if I really get bullied?
...
When Gu Zhu returned to the villa, he deeply doubted whether his investigative abilities over the years were genuine! Miss Xun Ting had already returned, yet he hadn't found a single trace of her.
"Mr. Huo, there's some dirt on Xun Ting online. Would you like to take a look?"
Huo Lin reached out and took the computer, scrolling through the information on it. After reading it, a bloodthirsty smile curled on his thin lips, and his eyes were unfathomable, filled with coldness.
"Remove everything related to eavesdropping."
"yes."
"Investigate and find out the truth for me."
"yes."
"You investigated someone all night and still haven't found anything?" Huo Lin tapped his long, slender fingers slowly on the office desk, glancing up at Assistant Gu.
Gu Zhu kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Master Huo, I wonder where you found Miss Xunting? We searched almost every airport, bus station, and hotel where people could hide last night, but we couldn't find her."
"Reflect on your own actions." Huo Lin said these four words, then got up and walked out, sitting down next to the woman.
Gu Zhu scratched his head, followed her out, and couldn't help but look at the woman at the table, asking, "Miss Xunting, where were you last night?"
"Internet cafe." Xun Ting replied, glancing up occasionally as he ate his food.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhu couldn't help but curse himself for being stupid. Miss Xun Ting was clearly different from those people; she was still a young girl, and internet cafes were where she went back to.
After dinner, Xun Ting was given a lecture by the villain, and inexplicably agreed to some nonsensical requests such as not returning home at night, not turning off his phone, etc.
She nodded perfunctorily, her brows furrowing slightly. Why did she have this strange feeling that the villain couldn't do without her?
In order to be able to watch Lin Qingbai marry the pig the next day, she specially took leave and contacted several big reporters to leak the story, estimating that she could make a lot of money.
When she was looking through her own reports to see the follow-up, she couldn't find them for some reason. She remembered that she hadn't dealt with them yet, so how could they be gone?
Just as she was wondering, she finally saw a report about finding the source of the audio, which had been posted a second earlier, and quickly rose from the bottom to the top of the trending searches.
