The little rose is so sweet and alluring, even the aloof CEO can't resist!

Fang Xun's expression was complicated, and he nodded after a moment.

Yan Beian shook his hand, breaking free from his grasp, and sat back down in the chair.

Fang Xun sheepishly lay back on the bed, looking at him with a wronged expression: "Bei An, believe me, I don't know why Brother Xie suddenly wanted to hit me..."

Yan Bei'an glanced at him indifferently: "You keep calling him 'brother,' so you seem to know him quite well."

Fang Xun tightened his grip on the blanket: "We're not particularly close, we've only met a few times."

How many times have you seen each other before engaging in such intimate physical contact?

Yan Bei'an: "Who is he? How do you know him?"

Fang Xun: "He runs an internet cafe outside of University A. I went there a few times, and that's how we met."

He was just an ordinary person from outside the school, nothing special, but Fang Xun's attitude was what was strange.

Yan Bei'an: "Why didn't you tell the police directly?"

Fang Xun's eyes began to dart away again: "People who hang out in internet cafes don't have a good reputation, I'm afraid you'll get angry..."

Yan Bei'an lowered his brows: "I'm not angry. I'll just tell the police later. They need to catch that person as soon as possible, so as not to delay their investigation."

Fang Xun remained silent, but under his gaze, he had no choice but to nod.

"And another thing," Yan Bei'an looked at him and said in a deep voice, "you heard what the police asked just now, and I'm also very curious, how did that guy surnamed Xie know I could come up with 20? Did you tell him?"

Fang Xun's lips trembled, and his face turned even paler.

Yan Bei'an pursed his lips, his tone becoming sharp: "Last night, as soon as I arrived at the hospital, he tried to swindle 20 yuan from me. This guy is incredibly audacious. He hit you first, then tried to cheat me, and yet you still protected him in front of the police. So I have to suspect that this car accident was between you and him..."

Fang Xun's eyes instantly filled with tears as she looked at him and said urgently, "No, I didn't plan this car accident with him. Look how badly I'm injured. If it got any worse, I would have died. How could I possibly risk my life? I'm only 20 years old!"

Yan Bei'an's eyes flickered, and he said, "The police haven't suspected you yet, but if you continue to refuse to cooperate with them and are late, it will arouse their suspicion. So you have to cooperate with them to clarify things first. You don't want to be hit by a car for no reason and not know why, do you?"

Fang Xun pursed his lips, nodded slowly, and replied in a low voice, "I understand."

“I’ll go call them in,” Yan Beian stood up, took a few steps toward the door, then stopped, turned his head to look at Fang Xun, and said meaningfully, “I haven’t told you yet, but the day you met Weiwei and my uncle outside the Western restaurant, I checked the nearby surveillance footage and saw you with… that guy surnamed Xie.”

He then left the ward with a cold expression.

On the hospital bed, Fang Xun listened to his words and at first didn't remember them, but soon he was stunned, and the last trace of color disappeared from his face.

In the preparation room for a high-level government meeting, Liang Wenyi was reviewing an important document that would be used in the meeting.

After answering a phone call, the assistant's expression turned serious. After hanging up, he walked to Mr. Liang's side, leaned down, and whispered, "Mr. Liang, someone is investigating your father's family relationships."

Liang Wenyi paused, tilted his head, and asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Assistant: "We don't know yet; the other party is a very secretive person."

Liang Wenyi: "Did you start the investigation from my side?"

Assistant: "Yes."

Liang Wenyi pondered for a moment and said, "Don't alert them yet. Have someone sneak back quietly and find out what kind of force it is."

"Yes."

Liang Wenyi put down the documents in his hand, took off his glasses, and took out a lens cleaning cloth from his briefcase to wipe them slowly.

His gaze, however, was fixed on the distance through his glasses, as if lost in thought.

A moment later, a look of surprise, but also understanding, appeared on his face, and his eyes showed interest: "It's him?"

On Sunday morning, Yan Zhixu was invited to attend a technology exhibition.

He set off from the Yan family's old residence, met up with Xu Chaofeng, and got into the latter's car.

Halfway through the journey, he pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes, pretending to doze off.

Last night... I dreamt of a woman again, snuggling in my arms, so charming and passionate, that I couldn't resist her. I felt like I was drowning in the deep sea, my emotions rising and falling, and I didn't get a good night's sleep.

I woke up according to my biological clock in the morning, but I felt a bit... tired.

He felt helpless. Before meeting Liang Liangwei, he had never had such a beautiful dream experience, but recently it had been appearing frequently. At first, it only happened when they were under the same roof, but this week it had been happening almost every night...

Is it because after being together, they think about each other day and night, but can't find relief?

He touched his forehead and unconsciously smiled slightly.

With the other hand, gently tap the surface of the armrest, and press the tip of your tongue between your teeth.

You're not coming back until Tuesday...

Xu Chaofeng glanced at her boss in the rearview mirror and saw that he was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood.

He paused for a moment before forcing himself to say, "President Yan..."

Yan Zhixu lazily lifted her eyelids: "Hmm?"

Xu Chaofeng: "You asked me to check the information about Counselor Liang's father, and I did, but..."

Yan Zhixu glanced at him indifferently: "Can't find anything? The information channels aren't set up yet?"

Xu Chaofeng swallowed hard and said, "Yes and no... It's just that during the investigation, we accidentally alerted the other party and Liang's people found out."

Yan Zhixu pursed her lips, clearly displeased: "He knows you're investigating him?"

Xu Chaofeng hurriedly replied, "They probably don't know yet, because I haven't revealed my identity."

Just then, Yan Zhixu's phone rang. He glanced down at it and saw that it was Liang Wenyi calling.

He frowned almost imperceptibly, glanced at Xu Chaofeng lightly, and said, "Looks like you know."

Then, under Xu Chaofeng's watchful gaze, who was sweating profusely, he answered the phone in a gentle tone: "Counselor Liang."

Liang Wenyi asked with a smile, "Where are you busy on this weekend?"

Yan Zhixu: "What can one be busy with on the weekend? Just wandering around. What are Counselor Liang's plans?"

Those who dedicate themselves to the country bear no less responsibility than he does, so calling him is definitely not just for casual conversation.

Liang Wenyi: "Are you free tonight? How about we grab a casual meal together?"

Before knowing about his relationship with Liang Liangwei as cousins, Yan Zhixu might have declined the invitation, but now... he has no objection to spending more time with her family.

Moreover, he couldn't refuse, since he had already had someone investigate the other party's family background, and it had been discovered. There was a bit of guilt involved.

Even if this invitation wasn't meant to reprimand him, it was very likely a test. He couldn't just be hesitant and leave a bad impression.

“Okay, since you’re back in China, let me treat you to this meal. I’ll have my assistant make a reservation and send you the restaurant details later.”

Liang Wenyi laughed: "You talk as if you don't live abroad most of the time. Fine, I won't argue with you. That's all for now. I have a meeting to attend. See you tonight."

"See you tonight."
