House was the farthest from the main building.Fu Yan refused. She hasn't lived here since she grew up.Knowing she was stubborn, Song Qing霜 didn't force her to stay. As she left, she reminded her to g...When the police arrived, Fu Yan was lost in despair and slumped on the ground.

The entrance hall was in utter disarray, with belongings strewn everywhere. Shattered ceramic pieces lay on the floor, stained with flecks of blood, and the shard clutched in her hand had lost all semblance of its original color.

It was soaked in blood, a dark red color, with a strong metallic scent.

Chen Let lay on the ground, a trail of blood snaking from his abdomen.

Two policemen felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, sensing something was wrong.

One of the policemen stepped forward, checked Chen Rang's breath, and said, "He's still breathing. Call an ambulance."

He cast one last glance at Fu Yan, whose face was ashen, and said with a headache, "Take her back to the police station and have her make a statement."

Fu Yanjiang stabbed Chen after being attacked, and called the police claiming self-defense. She appeared injured with disheveled clothing, while the man had an undone belt. This suggests a possible struggle occurred.

However, the specifics will depend on the extent of the man's injuries.

The police tried several times before successfully wresting the porcelain shard from Fu Yan's grasp.

She held on tightly, afraid to let go, like a lifeline. She wouldn't even release her grip even though her hand was cut by it.

At the police station, Fu Yan cooperated with the recording of the statement. Every word and every sentence was spoken calmly and composedly. Even an old veteran officer who had worked for over twenty years admired this girl's courage, which wasn't something ordinary people possessed.

And at this moment, a black Bentley was parked quietly in front of the police station building.

A striking license plate number startled the chief, who rushed to the scene.

After finishing her statement, Fu Yan turned back and saw Cao Fang negotiating with the police. Afraid that Song Qing˪ would be terrified, she hadn't notified her family.

Cao Fang could even less possibly know what had happened to her.

Until she was led out by Cao Fang and saw Huo Mingzheng in the car.

A thought flashed through her mind, one that seemed both absurd and terrifying. She refused to believe it.

"Now you know what it means to regret" The man's eyes glowed with a cold light in the night, a hint of mockery playing on his lips.

Fu Yan had always been pale, but upon hearing the man's words, her face became even whiter, almost translucent.

No wonder she had just called the police, and they appeared immediately. The response time was record-breaking. Now that I've calmed down, looking back, it seems illogical.

It was him all along.

It was him who called the police to stay nearby, so they were able to appear quickly.

After maintaining her composure all night, she finally broke down, trembling uncontrollably. "You know Chen Rang is going to attack me"

Perhaps it was known from the beginning, including Chen Rang following her.

Ho Mingzheng remained silent, staring at her pale face.

"You watched him bully me, remaining calm and indifferent, just waiting to teach me a harsh lesson To take revenge on me"

Fu Yan asked him question after question, her voice barely a whisper until it broke and she choked out, "Do you have to be so cruel"

Just because she had said that she regretted provoking him at the time, he waited for the right moment and then stabbed her in the heart.

Cao Fang stood beside him wanting to say something, Huo Mingzheng gave him a cold glance, Cao Fang shut his mouth and lowered his head, taking a step back.

Huo Mingzheng got out of the car and stood in front of Fu Yan.

He was tall and lanky, with broad shoulders that blocked out most of the light, trapping Fu Yan in a tiny space.

The coat draped over Fu Yan's shoulders. Huo Mingzheng disliked using perfume, and he used essential oil to help him sleep at night. His body inevitably carried a faint fragrance, which blended subtly into his clothes.

The smell of makeup was something Fu Yan was all too familiar with.

Clear, tranquil, and peaceful.

To say it's her fault, smelling this scent gave her an impulse to cry. Tears swirled in her eyes, but she held them back with a strong effort.

Her long, slender fingers parted the long hair on her neck.

"Are you hurt" The man frowned, his gaze falling on her neck and hands.

The female officer just helped Fu Yan with a simple treatment. She had gauze on her wound and there was blood seeping through it. She has fair skin, so it's truly horrifying to look at.

Fu Yan dodged his hand, wanting to take her clothes off.

Huo Mingzheng immediately grabbed her, his voice cold: "Are you sure you want to make a scene with me here"

"President Huo, don't speak in such ambiguous terms. Someone who doesn't know us might think we have a relationship." Fu Yan held her face impassively and struggled to break free.

Huo Mingzheng simply grasped her finger and looked down at her, sneering: "As siblings, I'm just handling family affairs."

Fu Yan's hand stiffened, and she averted her face.

At this time, a Land Rover drove over.

The car had just come to a stop, and a tall man in fencing attire leapt out of the driver's seat. His hair was tousled from practice under his helmet, a little disheveled, but it did nothing to detract from his handsome features.

"Pay Xiaoyan, how did you end up in the police station" The man shouted before he even got close.

Ji Lin, Fu Yan's childhood friend, is a rich second-generation who dreams of becoming an Olympic fencing champion. The two have known each other since elementary school and their relationship is closer than that of biological brothers.

Walking forward, seeing her injured, Ji Lin's face changed immediately, "Who did this"

She didn't look at Huo Mingzheng throughout the whole process, as if he didn't exist.

"Attempted rape." Fu Yan was calm.

Ji Lin took a sharp breath, his face darkening. "Which bastard!"

He sprang to his feet, fixing Huo Mingzheng with a fierce gaze. He knew for certain it wasn't Huo Mingzheng.

How could she bear to bring him here He's not even old enough yet.

Only Ji Lin knew the relationship between Fu Yan and him. Hearing about Fu Yan's accident now, seeing Huo Mingzheng here only made him angrier.

Fu Yan pulled him aside, worried he would clash with Huo Mingzheng, and said, "I stabbed the other party."

Is he dead

"Fu Yan shook her head. 'The police said the injuries weren't serious.'"

Ji Lin wore a look of pity, "Why didn't you strike harder Are you scared and out of strength"

He said, pulling up Fu Yan's injured hand, "Does it hurt"

"It doesn't hurt, I already got medicine." Fu Yan pulled her hand out of Huo Mingzheng's grasp. "Take me back, please. I don't want to stay here anymore."

Ji Lin nodded. "Alright, I'll send you home first and then go find that bastard to settle the score!"

His gaze fell on Fu Yan's clothes, and he let out a scoff: "What man's clothes do you dare to wear"

As she spoke, she directly pulled Huo Mingzheng's coat off and tossed it to Cao Fang beside her. She wrapped herself in the blanket she had brought off the car.

Cao Fang took the coat like it was a hot potato, not daring to look at Huo Mingzheng's face.

Ji Lin patted Fu Yan's shoulder, giving her a sense of security, and then slowly raised his eyes, "Mr. Huo, thank you for taking the time to come here. Now that I'm with Fu Yan, you can go back."

Huo Mingzheng's gaze swept over his hand on Fu Yan's shoulder, his eyes clear, "Even if you're busy, can it be busier than your competition training Here with Fu Yan, you don't need to interfere."

Ji Linhe let out a chuckle, slowly walking forward. "Of course, Mr. Huo is probably busier. I heard that Mr. Huo is almost engaged and he's still running to the police station in the evening. If this gets out, it wouldn't be appropriate, would it"

"We, little Yan'gen, care about our reputation."

This statement almost called him Huo Mingzheng shameless.

Fu Yan knew that Ji Lin was standing up for her, but she didn't want Ji Lin to get on Huo Mingzheng's bad side. What if Huo Mingzheng took his anger out on him and made him fall behind

I reached out to grab his sleeve, but my hand was trembling violently, and cold sweat was pouring down my face.

As soon as she came out, she felt a little dizzy. She knew she was exhausted, and the wind made her feel unsteady on her feet.

Before, my conversation with Huo Mingzheng was strained. Now, waves of dizziness wash over me.

My vision went black, and the only thing I heard was Ji Lin's cry of "Yan'er" before I lost consciousness completely.

Ji Lin lunged, missing his target. Fu Yan fell steadily into Huo Mingzheng's arms.

The man crossed his arms.

Ho Mingzheng's eyes were sharp, like a razor-sharp blade, cutting through the air and startling Ji Lin from his attempt to snatch Fu Yan.ng the flames and extinguishing them.He frowned impatiently, then turned and pulled the sliding door open with force.As he passed by Fu Yan's side, he paused for a moment, but said nothing and left af...
