"I didn’t want this either. But if she had lain there instead, I would’ve been the criminal," Ye Ranran said indignantly.
Xu Zi must have done it on purpose.
Seeing her look so wronged, Jun Mochan couldn’t bear to blame her any longer. "Alright, I’m already investigating her, and soon she’ll be out on the street."
If there was only room for one woman, he would definitely choose Ye Ranran.
"Are you sure you can do it?"
"Want to see if I can manage?" Jun Mochan’s hand came to Ye Ranran’s side, and with a light pull, her zipper was undone.
Ye Ranran was half-naked in front of Jun Mochan.
"We are at a hotel." Ye Ranran blocked her body with her hands.
"The whole hotel is mine, no one dares to come here." Jun Mochan lowered his head to kiss her.
While this room was ablaze with passion, the other room was in a state of turmoil.
"Xu Zi, I never thought you could be so malicious," Huo Yi looked at her with skepticism.
"It’s not me, Ye Ranran pushed me, I...." Confronted by Huo Yi’s perceptive gaze, Xu Zi could no longer defend herself.
"Don’t blame her, it was me who told her to do it." Huo’s mother entered from outside.
"Mother, why are you meddling?" Huo Yi had a headache.
"You want to blame someone? Then blame me. I told her to do it. That’s right, I wanted Ye Ranran dead," Huo’s mother admitted, her reputation be damned.
"Mother, you... fine, just make sure there is no next time." Huo Yi threw up his hands and left.
Once Huo Yi was gone, Xu Zi sighed in relief — but when she saw the stern look in Huo’s mother’s eyes, she felt guilty all over again.
"Next time, be careful not to put yourself at risk before taking Ye Ranran down."
"Yes, I understand," Xu Zi lowered her head.
Once everyone had gone, Xu Zi called Xia Shi again, but the phone was still off.
She frowned and tossed her phone aside, sitting on the bed.
Huo Yi returned, carrying some snacks and a drink.
"This is all they had, eat something." Huo Yi stood in front of Xu Zi.
With a look of gratitude, Xu Zi said, "Thanks, husband."
Despite his impassive face, Huo Yi’s features softened considerably.
Xu Zi had been with him for almost ten years, it was impossible for her not to have feelings for him.
"By the way, how did you get back so quickly?" Xu Zi asked, feigning nonchalance.
She’d wanted to ask that question the moment she saw him, but the bustling banquet hall hadn’t been the right place to ask.
"I was worried about you, so I came to check on you," Huo Yi said.
Xu Zi started to laugh and flung her arms and legs around Huo Yi.
Huo Yi pulled her off him: "Stop messing around, we’re at the hotel."
Xu Zi’s smile froze on her face. Though she longed to ask why, in light of the evening’s events, she forced out an insincere giggle: "Alright, you must be tired, go take a rest."
After Ye Ranran had fallen asleep, Jun Mochan immediately dialed ’One’.
"Did you find the information I tasked you with?"
"Got some leads, do you want me to send someone over with them?"
"Have them delivered by you personally." Jun Mochan hung up the call.
Turning to look at the sleeping Ye Ranran, Jun Mochan quietly left the room, neatly attired.
He had taken a presidential suite. Upon shutting the room door, Jun Mochan moved towards the lobby.
Suddenly, his phone beeped. Picking it up, he saw a video sent by Zhou Xian featuring Xia Shi.
Since he dared to make a move on her, Jun Mochan had naturally taken the necessary precautions.
True, the Xia Family was not easy to tackle, but when had he, Jun Mochan, ever feared anyone?
At this moment, Xia Shi was struggling in a desolate place on the outskirts.
