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

The man asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Awake?"

Ruan Qian'an looked herself up and down and asked, "President Huo, what does this mean?"

Huo Jingmo looked at the person who was asking the obvious question and sneered, "Ruan Qian'an, you should ask yourself what you have done."

Ruan Qian'an gave a wicked laugh and said, "Why isn't President Huo in a wheelchair?"

Huo Jingmo opened his half-closed eyes: "Shouldn't you know best?"

Ruan Qian'an said, "It seems that President Huo has found the medicine."

Huo Jingmo hummed in agreement, then stood up and looked down at Ruan Qian'an.

He said, "I really want to thank you. Thank you for your great mercy in helping my leg recover."

Ruan Qian'an: You're welcome.

Huo Jingmo looked at the arrogant man and sneered: "You're the one who crippled my legs, and you're also the one who restored them. What exactly do you want?"

Ruan Qian'an: "I want you to be a part of my very being."

Huo Jingmo said coldly, "Don't even think about it."

Ruan Qian'an chuckled softly, her expression slightly sickly.

He then said bitterly, "I want to make you happy. Do you remember what those two girls said when we were watching the movie? What they said made me angry, so I softened my heart towards you."

Ruan Qian'an sighed and said to ease her sorrow, "But thinking about it, it's really a coincidence. Why did I have to hear their conversation?"

"Your innocent appearance is so pitiful and endearing."

Huo Jingmo watched Ruan Qian'an's every move and asked, "Do you like it?"

Ruan Qian'an: "We've failed."

Huo Jingmo calmly said, "I don't believe a word you say."

Ruan Qian'an: "For example?"

Huo Jingmo thought for a moment and said, "For example, the phrase 'I love you'."

Ruan Qian'an laughed loudly: "If you don't believe me, why did you say you love me?"

Huo Jingmo: "I won't say I love you to Dr. Li. If I don't show weakness, I believe you will kill me without hesitation."

Ruan Qian'an: "That's really unfair to you. You acted so well that you almost believed it yourself."

Huo Jingmo laughed: "How else can I fool you?"

"You're so heartless. Even after all that, you didn't hesitate to cripple my legs. Ruan Qian'an, what makes you think you love me?"

Ruan Qian'an: "President Huo, that's a brilliant plan. I really like your honey trap."

"So, are you enduring humiliation or not?"

Ruan Qian'an looked at Huo Jingmo with lustful eyes.

Huo Jingmo gritted his teeth and kicked Ruan Qian'an, who was kicked without resistance and fell to the side.

Huo Jingmo: "You still dare to say that."

"If it weren't for the need to help my legs recover, would I let you do whatever you want to me? You filthy, despicable person."

Ruan Qian'an's disheveled hair obscured her face, and she lay on the ground like a lifeless object: "President Huo really has no mercy for women."

Huo Jingmo sneered, "To be lenient with you is to be cruel to myself."

Huo Jingmo stepped forward and stomped hard on Ruan Qian'an's shoulder, preventing her from getting up.

"You want me dead so badly? Speak! Who sent you, and what is your purpose?"

Ruan Qian'an coughed a few times, struggled a bit, and said, "You really don't know? Or are you deliberately choosing not to mention it?"

Ruan Qian'an stared directly at Huo Jingmo, her eyes fierce, like a beast, gleaming with a cold light.

Huo Jingmo and Ruan Qian'an stared at each other for a while, then he closed his eyes and sat back down on the sofa.

Ruan Qian'an struggled to sit up, and Huo Jingmo looked at her with eyes that seemed to be filled with murderous intent.

He smiled and then said to Ruan Qian'an, "Come here."

The ferocity in Ruan Qian'an's eyes had not yet dissipated. She was kneeling and could not stand up at all, so she could only walk over on her knees.

Ruan Qian'an stared intently at Huo Jingmo, like a beast eyeing its prey.

He walked step by step toward Huo Jingmo, not stopping until he stood before him.

Huo Jingmo saw that Ruan Qian'an was getting close to him and even wanted to bite him, so he stepped on Ruan Qian'an's thigh to stop her from moving forward.

Then he asked the question that concerned him most: "Where is Lin Jiang?"

Ruan Qian'an said with a fierce look in her eyes but a smile on her lips: "Dead."

Upon hearing this news, Huo Jingmo's eyes widened involuntarily. He grabbed Ruan Qian'an's chin and said, "Don't try anything funny. Tell me where he is, and I might spare your life."

Ruan Qian'an tilted her head back and said, word by word, "Dead."

Huo Jingmo's gaze gradually deepened: "Impossible. What good would killing him do you? You have no reason to lay a hand on him."

Ruan Qian'an: "President Huo, I don't need a reason to kill."

Huo Jingmo's eyes darkened: "Ruan Qian'an, didn't I tell you? I don't believe a word you say."

"You're not that crazy."

"Have you not…"

Ruan Qian'an smiled and asked, "How am I?"

Huo Jingmo said dejectedly, "You've used every trick in the book to deal with me."

If Ruan Qian'an killed Lin Jiang, then General Lin would believe that he was the one who killed him, since how could a weak woman do such a thing?

He will make enemies with the highest-ranking military officials; he won't lose his life, but it will still cause him trouble.

Ji Tian would also suspect whether he himself was the one who did it, and then the thing he asked Ji Tian to do would inevitably fail, and it would fail regardless of whether Ji Tian suspected it or not.

Huo Jingmo was somewhat tired, but he didn't show it. Although he had many enemies, he had no reason to hold a grudge against Ruan Qian'an. It was more likely that he would hold a grudge against her.

Moreover, there aren't many people capable of taking action against Lin Jiang, and if this is exposed, it will be the biggest hidden danger. He vaguely knows who sent Ruan Qian'an.

Huo Jingmo: "Who exactly sent Ruan Qian'an?"

Ruan Qian'an did not answer, and Huo Jingmo stomped his leather shoe on Ruan Qian'an's thigh.

Because the movement was too exaggerated and exposed her sexy ankles, Ruan Qian'an's eyes darkened.

Then, her face turned pale, and Ruan Qian'an said to Huo Jingmo, "Mr. Huo, this means your happiness for the rest of your life is in jeopardy."

Huo Jingmo clicked his tongue, withdrew his foot, then felt very angry, kicked her hard, stood up, and walked out of the room.

The empty room echoed with Ruan Qian'an's laughter, ethereal and eerie.

This was the first impression of the person who pushed open the door, looking at the person lying on the ground like a corpse.

A male voice rang out, saying, "Boss, don't be too sad."

He stepped forward and unlocked the chains on Ruan Qian'an's feet, then stood quietly to the side.

After a while, Ruan Qian'an stopped laughing. She stood up and sat down in the seat that Huo Jingmo had been sitting in.

He glanced at the person standing to the side and said, "Hey, little mouse, what brings you here?"

The man knelt on one knee before Ruan Qian'an. Although he looked like a man, he spoke in a woman's voice: "By order of Huo Jingmo, I am to guard outside."

Ruan Qian'an looked her up and down and laughed, "Won't you be discovered if you just swagger in like this?"

The man said, "They won't be discovered. They're too busy dealing with other things to pay attention to this place for a while. Besides, this person has a very high status here; he's like a right-hand man."

Ruan Qian'an: "It's best not to expose us, Long Ting."

Ruan Qian'an smiled and said, "Your current identity is Long Ting, right?"

Long Ting said, "Boss, you have no idea how uncomfortable it is for me to pretend to be a man."

Ruan Qian'an laughed, saying that it had taken her a lot of effort to pry open Long Ting's mouth.

Ruan Qian'an: "Get up."
