Ling Kai laughed, "Did you go crazy playing in Antarctica, or did you get into a fight with a kangaroo in Australia and hurt your head?"
Lei Long took a deep breath. "The signal in Australia gets really bad from time to time, and I receive messages very slowly."
I had heard before that Huo Cifeng had a crazy suitor Luo Beishi, but I never expected that he would suddenly marry the boss, especially since the boss is now in a vegetative state and can't resist at all.
I was so worried over there.
Later, news broke online that Luo Beishi had spent 40 billion yuan. Did you know that? I treated it as a joke at the time. I had previously investigated Luo Beishi for my boss.
The eldest brother might not remember, but I remember it clearly. Luo Beishi, someone who was so poor that he would break a single steamed bun in half to eat would never be this rich.
Ling Kai nodded in understanding; he had also seen the document. "I know, but I was the one who chaired the shareholders' meeting back then, which shocked me even more, and I'm also very grateful to my sister-in-law."
If it weren't for my sister-in-law's heroic efforts, who would have given the eldest brother 40 billion? Besides, we can't touch the eldest brother's funds.
"If Huo Cifeng had succeeded in seizing power back then, the first two of us would have been dragged down, and we wouldn't even know which remote area we'd be assigned to."
Lei Long was a rugged-looking man who liked to speak bluntly. "I really have to thank my sister-in-law. At first, I couldn't accept that someone who had liked Huo Cifeng was now dating our boss. It sounded very unsettling to me, and I felt uncomfortable both psychologically and physically."
But in just one month, I gradually adapted there. Even the things people analyzed online a few days ago made me think our boss really struck gold; he's truly won without lifting a finger."
Ling Kai had just resolved a major issue today and even turned the tables on Maple Leaf Company, so he was very happy. "So you also know that Huo Cifeng is a stand-in?"
Lei Long nodded and said, "Alright, I'll stay at your place after work later. My place is under renovation."
Ling Kai: "Get lost. I'm comfortable living here on my own. Don't squeeze in with me."
The next day
Luo Beishi is facing its midterm exams.
I was caught off guard because he hadn't joined the class group chat and I'd forgotten about it.
The class monitor sent him the exam room location today.
Two exams in the morning, one in the afternoon.
The same applies to tomorrow.
Luo Beishi answered the questions very quickly, without needing to cram at the last minute, and handed in his paper in 20 minutes.
Luo Beishi is now a campus celebrity, with fans and admirers everywhere. Even the teachers think highly of him.
Although Luo Beishi was not used to being watched by them, he got used to it, since no one was crowding around him anyway.
Since he hadn't been able to go home yet, Luo Beishi planned to wander around the campus.
At this time, everyone is taking exams, and few people are wandering around outside.
But then a familiar face appeared ahead.
"I'm so glad to see you." Huo Cifeng, wearing a long woolen coat, spoke to Luo Beishi from a distance of several meters.
Luo Beishi was somewhat surprised, but then he realized that it was quite simple to know their exam schedule and his own situation.
Therefore, Huo Cifeng's appearance is not surprising.
"Host, this is the first time you've met since you awakened," the system said in a childish voice.
"Yes, I can see people much more clearly after awakening, so in my opinion, even if Huo Cifeng had plastic surgery, he still couldn't compare to Huo Cixiao."
"The host is right, but villains are usually very handsome. The second male lead in TV dramas always seems to be more handsome than the male lead."
Luo Beishi: "..." It was strangely true.
Huo Cifeng had only intended to try his luck today, but he never expected to actually catch Luo Beishi.
Luo Beishi had changed so much that he almost didn't recognize him.
The child who used to follow him around all day has grown into an adult, his eyes now cold and calm, as if he can no longer stir up Luo Beishi's emotions.
She used to cry while chasing his car, and she would wait for him downstairs on rainy days. Back then, she was dressed in tattered clothes, and only her white hair stood out.
Despite his good looks, Huo Cifeng couldn't help but feel disgusted, and even the slightest touch made him want to vomit.
Now, upon seeing Luo Beishi again, his appearance has undergone a complete transformation, even his personality.
He no longer became irritable, but instead looked over calmly with eyes devoid of desire.
He regretted it again, regretting why he hadn't accepted Luo Beishi sooner, why he couldn't have been more patient and kind-hearted. Now, he felt sorry for him and miserable, and he wanted to destroy him because he couldn't have him.
Luo Beishi's looks and figure are both innocent and alluring; how could he have been so blind as to choose Luo Bai?
Huo Cifeng despises his former self.
Luo Beishi: "Did you need something?"
Huo Cifeng felt a little uncomfortable; this was the first time Luo Beishi had spoken so distantly.
Huo Cifeng didn't intend to beat around the bush. "Why are you targeting me?"
Luo Beishi: "It's not just you I'm targeting, don't be so smug."
Huo Cifeng: "..." Damn, arrogant.
Luo Beishi: "Is there anything else? If not, don't keep me occupied."
Huo Cifeng quickly added, "You still haven't said why."
Luo Beishi crossed her arms and rested her chin on her hand, pondering for a moment. "That might be to protect my husband. My husband is handsome and has a great physique; I love him to bits. But the thought of you trying to harm my husband makes me hate you."
Huo Cifeng was surprised that Luo Beishi would say these words without hesitation, and the smile on his face almost disappeared.
"When did I harm him?" Huo Cifeng said without any guilt, because he felt that he would never admit to something that wasn't done by his own hands, even if he gave the order.
Luo Beishi chuckled after hearing this, "You don't think I don't know what you've been up to lately, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Cifeng's heart visibly pounded; a feeling of unease he had never experienced before suddenly surfaced at that moment.
"You must know more about your repeated kidnappings of me and your illicit affair with your assistant than anyone else, right?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Cifeng's heart skipped a beat. Damn it!
How could Luo Beishi know these things! Has Luo Beishi become so terrifying that he knows everything about my privacy and daily life?
"Finally, guess what evidence I have?" Luo Beishi's eyes were filled with contempt and indifference as he glanced at him disdainfully again.
He could see Huo Cifeng looking at him with trembling hands.
"Sigh~ What should I do with you? I can't wait to find out," Luo Beishi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Huo Cifeng immediately moved closer. "What evidence do you have to prove that I did these things?"
Luo Beishi exuded a powerful aura, causing even Huo Cifeng to tremble slightly upon approaching him.
Luo Beishi shrugged indifferently and said, "You'll know whether you have it or not later." After saying that, he turned and left.
Huo Cifeng stood there, stunned, a suffocating feeling of having his life and death controlled by someone suddenly surged into his lungs and heart.
Damn it... I absolutely mustn't let Luo Beishi live, what should I do?
Huo Cifeng walked out of the school with weak legs.
Assistant Zhang was waiting for Huo Cifeng by the roadside when he saw Huo Cifeng walk out looking lost and disoriented, his face ashen and flustered.
