[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

Huo Jingmo's phone vibrated in his pocket. He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

After hanging up, Huo Jingmo continued drinking. The woman from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs had finally contacted him.

Was the reason for contacting them that way to avoid being discovered by Ruan Qian'an?

After giving them the beads, they disappeared. I thought even the people from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs couldn't do anything to Ruan Qian'an.

Huo Jingmo leaned back slightly, drinking and lost in thought. From his position, he could see the main entrance of the bar.

He saw a thin, small man enter through the main entrance, wrapped up tightly and fully armed. Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be a drinker.

Noticing Huo Jingmo's gaze, she pulled her hat down even further.

Huo Jingmo immediately felt bored; it couldn't possibly be someone from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

He looked back.

As he was sizing up others, a group of people kept staring at him.

One of the men in the group, whose face was half-covered by his hair, stopped the bartender.

The long-haired man asked the bartender what it was, and then the bartender pointed at Huo Jingmo.

The long-haired man understood, then put something in the drink and gestured for the bartender to bring it over.

...

Huo Jingmo was annoyed by the constant phone calls from the same number.

At this point, Huo Jingmo was already somewhat drunk.

After answering the phone, Huo Jingmo mumbled, "Hello? Who is it? Can you please stop calling? It's annoying, you know?"

The other end seemed to hear the noise and paused for a moment before replying: "Huo Jingmo."

Ruan Qian'an's cold voice brought Huo Jingmo, who was originally drunk, back to his senses.

Ruan Qian'an sneered and said, "President Huo, I called you so many times and you didn't answer. So you were having fun outside."

Huo Jingmo was displeased by Ruan Qian'an's accusatory tone and snorted, "Yeah, it's none of your business how I am."

Huo Jingmo said fiercely, "I'm really fed up with you."

Huo Jingmo chuckled twice, quite pleased, and said, "But, but I've found a way to kill you."

Ruan Qian'an chuckled softly and said, "Really? That's impressive."

After Ruan Qian'an finished speaking, only the sound of shallow breathing could be heard between the two receivers.

...and the barely perceptible sounds of doors opening and closing.

Huo Jingmo muttered, "What kind of tone is that? Shouldn't you be scared?"

Ruan Qian'an was rather helpless and coaxed, "Huo Jingmo, I'm so scared, please let me go."

Huo Jingmo scoffed, "Impossible."

Ruan Qian'an chuckled softly.

Huo Jingmo: "Ruan Qian'an, you said you would die by my hand."

"You said it..."

You can't lie to me anymore...

Huo Jingmo's phone, which he was on, fell to the ground, and he slumped unconscious in his seat.

The sound came from the phone

"Yes, I did say that."

Ruan Qian'an appeared in the same bar as Huo Jingmo, one hand in her pocket and the other holding a phone.

She hung up the phone and walked over, looking at Huo Jingmo's flushed cheeks from being drunk, and wiped away the tears from the corners of Huo Jingmo's eyes.

On the table where Huo Jingmo was, there were empty bottles of various kinds of liquor. Ruan Qian'an coughed twice.

A sweet, metallic taste came from her throat. She picked up the wine in front of Huo Jingmo and took a sip to suppress the taste.

Just as Ruan Qian'an picked Huo Jingmo up from the sofa, she was stopped by three men and two women.

They looked at Ruan Qian'an with disdain and said, "You're being really unfair. This person is our prey; there's no reason for us to kidnap him halfway through the journey."

Someone shoved Ruan Qian'an and said, "Why bother talking so much to a blind man?"

Ruan Qian'an, holding Huo Jingmo, dodged to the side and walked forward, saying, "Get out of my way."

"What are you so arrogant about, you blind man?"

"Do you know where I work? It'll scare you to death if I tell you."

Ruan Qian'an: "Oh, then tell me and you'll scare me to death."

The blond-haired guy said, "Putting everything else aside, this store is mine."

A woman with dyed blue hair said, "Put down the person you're holding right now. Did you ask us, the messengers of justice, before you took him away? He's clearly not with you. Are you a human trafficker?"

Ruan Qian'an: "We are a married couple who have registered our marriage."

The blond-haired man said, "Words are meaningless; how can we trust you?"

The commotion drew everyone's attention, and they turned to look in their direction.

Ruan Qian'an asked, "What is your purpose?"

The blue-haired woman approached Ruan Qian'an and said in a voice only they could hear, "This is the person we found. Whether you know him or not, you can't take him away."

The bald man standing next to the blond-haired man looked Ruan Qian'an up and down and said, "Although he is blind, he has a good appearance and is definitely worth a good price."

Ruan Qian'an scoffed and said, "So you're involved in human trafficking."

The long-haired man on the other side of the blond man said with amusement, "Baldy, why did you say that?"

The bald man chuckled and said, "Anyway, they can't run away, so we're not afraid of her finding out."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qian'an wondered if this industry had even penetrated into City A and reached this scale.

The blonde woman shouted, "There are so many people disappearing without a trace these days. You and this man aren't together. Are you a human trafficker?"

Ruan Qian'an: "I told you, we are husband and wife, and I've come to take him home."

Blue Hair said, "We're his partners, we don't even know you! Are human traffickers this brazen these days?"

Ruan Qian'an: "I don't have time to deal with you right now, so get out of my way."

The blond-haired man smiled, and several men stood up from the side, looking menacing and holding bottles of liquor.

Most of the people there were just spectators, who seemed unfazed by such sights.

Someone said, "The owner of this bar is doing good deeds again, catching human traffickers."

The small, thin person whose red dot is flashing is a reporter. She started recording everything as soon as she entered.

She was getting a little anxious; she believed the blind woman was human.

From the information she gathered, the members of this group were all based on positive rumors, but her intuition told her that something was amiss.

But without evidence, they have to investigate on their own.

The bald man reached out and tried to pull Huo Jingmo from Ruan Qian'an's arms.

Ruan Qian'an took a step back, and the bald man's hand missed its target, before he could even lash out.

Ruan Qian'an then picked up Huo Jingmo and leaped into the air, kicking the bald man to the ground before landing steadily.

The skinny reporter, who wanted to help, widened her eyes, took a step back, and decided it was better not to make things worse.

The bald man bumped into the bar counter, which affected the liquor cabinet above, causing bottles to fall to the ground.

The sound of the wine bottle shattering on the ground was like a battle horn, as those people pressed closer and closer to Ruan Qian'an.

A dozen people surrounded Ruan Qian'an. The blue-haired woman noticed that Ruan Qian'an showed no sign of panic and felt something was very wrong.

As if to verify her conjecture, two rows of well-trained men in black broke through the encirclement and surrounded them in turn.

They approached Ruan Qian'an and said, "President Ruan."

They knew what to call Ruan Qian'an in what context.

When the bald man tried to resist, he was pulled back by the blond man. He saw that the man in black waiting next to Ruan Qian'an seemed to have a gun tucked behind his shirt...

Ruan Qian'an suddenly felt a ringing in her ears. Suspicious, she turned her head to look in one direction, giving only a fleeting glance.

The thin reporter nervously hid his hidden camera in the crowd.

The leader of the men in black asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Ruan?"

Ruan Qian'an shook her head: "It's nothing."

Nestled in Ruan Qian'an's arms, Huo Jingmo's cheeks flushed even more, and his breath on Ruan Qian'an's neck grew increasingly hot.

Ruan Qian'an froze for a moment, then said, "Take care of this place."
