After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Shen Baolin stopped Zhou Guyang.

If she could, she wouldn't want to offend Sheng Yunchao, since he was someone she could never afford to mess with.

"Young Master Sheng, if you're here to stand up for justice, then let me be frank: Zhou Guyang and I love each other deeply, and our love is stronger than gold."

She held Zhou Guyang's hand reassuringly, "We've been together for a year, and we'll never be apart in the future."

Zhou Guyang seemed to have been appeased, and coldly looked at Sheng Yunchao, "President Sheng, I love Shen Baolin, I'd give my life for her, do you understand?"

Lu Sijian was stunned.

[This belated but timely literary gift has finally arrived! Wow, this will surely move Shen Baolin to tears.]

[However, Zhou Guyang was right about Sheng Yunchao. This hot-tempered man who always resorts to violence was actually able to endure it.]

This is clearly because they're afraid of causing trouble if they attack Sheng Yunchao.

Shen Baolin had finally reached her breaking point. "Lu Sijian, what exactly do you want?"

Lu Sijian was baffled. "I didn't mean anything by it."

[Why are you yelling at me, Shen Rujing? If you're so capable, go yell at Sheng Yunchao.]

Sheng Yunchao lowered her long eyelashes, then looked up after a moment and asked, "So, you two got together a year ago, and you're his girlfriend?"

Shen Baolin firmly replied, "Yes!"

"That's strange." Sheng Yunchao turned to the woman who hadn't left yet and asked, "Ma'am, do you know if Mr. Zhou has a girlfriend?"

The woman shook her head. "I don't know."

She's still in shock that the two of them were together so early on.

Until a dozen minutes ago, she thought Shen Baolin was just Zhou Guyang's suitor.

After all, if he really had a girlfriend, he should have explained the situation earlier. Would she be willing to become his mistress?

“He never mentioned having a girlfriend in front of me. I assumed he brought his friend because he didn’t have a girlfriend.”

So I still held onto a sliver of hope and couldn't help but wonder if he had some hidden difficulties.

Sheng Yunchao smiled and asked Zhou Guyang, "So you have a girlfriend, why are you hiding it?"

Of course, it's because he still needs this lady to successfully secure the order.

He didn't trust others' professionalism or fairness, believing that business deals were all about connections, and since he had no connections, he could only rely on his looks to build relationships.

If he has a girlfriend, it will be inconvenient for him to operate.

I bet they just signed a contract, otherwise he would have handled things well and wouldn't have suddenly turned on them.

Shen Baolin opened her mouth, but found that she had no way to defend Zhou Guyang.

Zhou Guyang did say yesterday that the big deal that had been in the works for a long time was finally finalized and the contract was signed yesterday.

Zhou Guyang sneered: "Why would I announce that I have a girlfriend at the company? Bringing personal matters to the company will only make people question my professionalism."

"But if you had told me you have a girlfriend, I wouldn't have asked you out to dinner," the woman said quietly.

Zhou Guyang snapped, "Don't pretend to be so high and mighty. You're just harassing me because you're the client!"

"Harassment? You think I'm harassing you?" The woman was shocked. "Then why did you take me to the arcade until midnight that night?"

If it was just about standing up for what was right or trying to maintain a good relationship with the client, the fact that he chased away his ex-boyfriend would be enough for her to be grateful for.

I took her to the arcade and played with her for more than four hours, which far exceeded the boundaries of a working relationship.

Zhou Guyang's face darkened: "If it weren't for your obstruction and delays in finalizing the cooperation, would I need to go to such lengths to please you?"

He has always been proud and arrogant, and has always been fawned over by women. But for this old woman, he has endured countless disgusting things.

"You're the one who's trying to eat swan meat like a toad, and now it's my fault that I got taken advantage of?"

The woman was speechless, as if she had only met him today.

The arrogant and responsible young man I once knew suddenly shattered into pieces.

"Okay, I understand. I promise I will never bother you again, and please don't suddenly pin me against the wall for no reason."

She didn't want to argue any further, so she turned and left in her high heels.

Zhou Guyang slammed his fist against the wall in anger: "You're crazy! Who cornered her against the wall?!"

Having watched the show long enough, Lu Sijian grabbed Sheng Yunchao and tried to slip away.

"Let's go quickly, Dr. Xie is getting impatient."

[Run! These two are about to pull another blood-red-eyed, hip-clutching, life-threatening stunt.]

Shen Baolin took a deep breath, swallowing the question that was about to come out of her mouth. She turned her head and saw Zhou Guyang's bloodshot eyes, and her heart ached.

"If you dare leave me, I'll take you with me to the grave!" Zhou Guyang's eyes flashed with malice.

Shen Baolin pressed her hand to his lips and shook her head. "I believe you."

She would absolutely not do as Lu Sijian wished.

-

Inside the private room, Xie Qinglan was slightly taken aback when she saw the two of them enter hand in hand, but then politely looked away.

Lu Sijian quickly let go of Sheng Yunchao's hand, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

Sheng Yunchao looked down at his empty palm and smiled helplessly.

Xie Qinglan was very well-mannered; although there was doubt in her eyes, she didn't ask anything.

Sheng Yunchao poured Lu Sijian a cup of fruit tea, which Lu Sijian quickly drank.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you for saving my life," Xie Qinglan said, revealing the main purpose of her dinner invitation.

Lu Sijian paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Dr. Xie, you're exaggerating. I didn't save your life."

In the original storyline, Xie Qinglan would not have died.

He was only seriously injured and unconscious for a period of time, but he will wake up and go abroad for treatment of his hand.

Xie Qinglan shook her head firmly: "No, the suspect was after me. If you hadn't seen through his disguise, his methods might have been more covert, and the consequences more unpredictable."

He used his methods to investigate the surveillance footage and learned that when the suspect saw the security checkpoint at the clinic entrance, he immediately turned around and left.

He didn't abandon the crime; instead, he left to make a better plan.

If it weren't for Lu Sijian's persistent entanglement, the other party would have already joined Chen Xin and hidden in the fire escape at the back door of the outpatient building.

If that happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lu Sijian frowned: "It's not as serious as you make it out to be."

“Why isn’t it that serious?” Sheng Yunchao lowered his gaze, his peach blossom eyes cold and ruthless. “He hid in the fire escape, just waiting quietly for his chance.”

"During this time, he would chat and complain to Chen Xin as usual, waiting for the opportunity to come. Soon he would find out that Dr. Xie was not on duty today. In his shock and anger, he would only suspect that Chen Xin was playing a trick on him, after all, Chen Xin had told him a few days ago that Dr. Xie was on duty at the outpatient clinic on this day."

"He might back down, but what can we do when Dr. Xie is so conscientious and responsible? He even got called to the outpatient building by a patient on his day off."

"Now that Dr. Xie has shown up, how could he let this opportunity slip by, just to avoid any unforeseen complications?"

"He only needs to wait until Chen Xin is not paying attention, then cover his mouth and slit his throat, and he can do it without anyone noticing."

"Immediately after Dr. Xie walked into the corridor, he rushed over and stabbed him several times..."

He'll definitely die! Xie Qinglan couldn't help but shudder.
