the fact that he was once a bastard child.Therefore, he especially understood Fu Mochen's hatred towards him. Although Fu Mochen's mother's suicide was confirmed to be due to depression, it was also r...Two people left the company together. Lin Jinran accompanied Hou Shao as they strolled down the street, but Hou Shao only browsed without buying anything. She was puzzled, "You're not buying"

"Well, to lure you out." Hou Shao admitted frankly. "Although in the workplace relying on skill, but you have been envied by others."

"I know." Lin Jinyan sighed, her fair face a little troubled.

How could she not know, yet she hadn't done anything, nor had she ever harmed anyone.

Is she being ostracized just because her work made it to the fourth round

"That's just how people are. Be careful yourself," Hou Shao said with a nonchalant tone, as if sighing.

Lin Jin touched her chin, tilting her head to look at Hou Shao's handsome face. She chuckled softly, a hint of confusion in her voice, "Why do I feel like you've been through a lot"

Hou Shao's beautiful eyes glanced at Lin Jinran, and she also smiled with her teeth exposed, "Indeed, she has experienced more than you."

As the trees were tinged with autumn colors, Lin Jinran smiled faintly, wanting to tease Hou Shaoshi. However, a female voice shouted from afar, "Catch the thief! Catch the thief!!!"

Seeing a shifty-looking man with a bag in his arms running towards them, Lin Jinran was startled. Hou Shao coldly said, "Don't go, he has a knife."

Having said that, she pushed Lin Jinran forward with her hand and quickly ran towards the thief.

Lin Jinyan stumbled back several steps after being pushed, his eyes watching as Hou Shao chased after him, his heart pounding in his throat.

"Young Master Hou, be careful!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the next second she saw Hou Shao skillfully subdued the thief, using a reverse grip to pin his hands to the ground, all in a matter of seconds!

Lin Jinran was dumbfounded, utterly unaware that Hou Shao possessed such incredible skill.

The woman who had been robbed ran over quickly, snatched the package the thief had dropped on the ground, and checked to see if anything was missing.

The police arrived in time and subdued the thief.

Houshao patted his hands and walked over to Lin Jinran. Lin Jinran's face was full of admiration, "Where did you learn this It's so amazing"

She thought about the previous crises she had encountered. If it hadn't been for Fu Mochen appearing just in time, she was afraid she would have been attacked.

Relying on others was not her style, Lin Jinran had always wanted to learn self-defense. Seeing Hou Shao this time further ignited her desire to do so.

"What do you want to learn"

Lin Jinran nodded like a chick pecking at rice, looking at Hou Shao with the air of a little fan girl, her voice firm, "I want to learn."

"Well, I can introduce you to a place, Nancheng Martial Arts Academy. That's where I learned." Hou Shao looked up and down at Lin Jinran's thin and delicate frame, frowned, and said, "It's a bit late to learn martial arts now, but you can practice some women's self-defense techniques for protection."

"Good." Lin Jinyan made a note of it and decided to sign up after work tomorrow.

After parting ways with Hou Shao, she was just about to hail a cab back to the Fu residence when a woman in her forties, dressed in casual wear and with a neatly combed bun, stopped her.

"Is it Miss Lin"

Lin Jin was astonished, staring at her alertly, "You have the wrong person." He said, trying to bypass her and leave.

The woman blocked her path again, "You needn't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions. My young mistress has booked the cafe ahead and would like you to come sit for a while and chat about some things."

She pointed with her finger to the woman sitting in front of the coffee shop's glass, not far away.

Lin Jin-yan followed the direction of her finger and quickly noticed the woman sitting there. She was fair-skinned and beautiful with wavy long hair, a deep V tight dress that showed off her career line.

She didn't know the woman, so she didn't go.

"Excuse me, I don't know your young lady, and there's nothing much to talk about." Lin Jinyan moved back, wanting to leave quickly to avoid trouble.

The female housekeeper, seeing Lin Jinran's uncooperative attitude, said expressionlessly, "Miss Lin, I suggest you go yourself."

Her gaze swept past Lin Jinran, and a chill ran down his spine. He suddenly turned around to find two towering bodyguards standing behind him, blocking her path.

It seemed as though, the moment he ran, she would surely be captured.ing out along the cut.Lin Jin tightly clenched her teeth, struggling to push herself up. In her hand, she clutched the fragment she had kept hidden all along; a sharp edge still stained with a trace o...
