Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing here?" Wen Shengsheng asked in surprise.

"Work."

Huo Ling's smile was both mysterious and cunning.

Hearing him say that, Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but look around curiously.

She knew that Huo Ling's group of very capable underlings was actually a bodyguard team. They were not only responsible for the security of the entire trading company, but also occasionally took on private jobs, providing security for important figures outside.

After all, he wasn't called Master Huo for nothing.

"What are you looking for? You're acting like a little imp." Huo Ling asked.

"A client looking for you? Who is it?"

"They haven't finalized anything yet, don't look around, you might get pricked." Huo Ling flicked her forehead. "Your boyfriend brought you to a family dinner, is good news on the way?"

Wen Shengsheng's face flushed and slowly turned red. "It will be at least next year. I'm just here today to get to know his family."

Huo Ling smiled, but for some reason, the smile never reached his eyes.

"You've only just started dating, so don't rush into settling down. You should get to know each other better. Men can change easily too."

The temperature on Wen Shengsheng's face gradually decreased.

"What do you mean?" Considering his profession, Wen Shengsheng suddenly felt nervous. "Brother-in-law, you don't know any gossip, do you?"

"No, your boyfriend is quite good to you, but you haven't been dating for very long. It would be better if you met his family more before making a decision."

Huo Ling suddenly grinned mischievously, "Of course, if you want to investigate him thoroughly, your brother-in-law is willing to do this for you for free!"

Wen Shengsheng glanced at him, but her mind involuntarily began to make her own plans...

Should we investigate...?

As she was thinking, she glanced unintentionally at the door and suddenly froze.

Thinking she was seeing things, she rushed forward a few more steps. After confirming the person's face and build, she suddenly became excited.

He lifted his leg, ready to rush out.

"What's wrong? Why are you so startled?" Huo Ling came over and pulled her aside.

“Lin Bin, Lin…” Wen Shengsheng excitedly pointed to a waiter in the distance and said to Huo Ling, “He used to bully me and then ran away.”

Huo Ling's playful expression vanished in an instant, and when she glanced at Lin Bin, her eyes were like a sharp dagger.

"Don't rush. This is a family banquet of the Gong family. He should be here to work as a waiter. He can't run away." Huo Ling analyzed calmly while pulling Wen Shengsheng to the side. "If you rush over to find him now and make too much noise, it will affect the Gong family's opinion of you."

“Yes, you’re right. How about I wait for him outside the mansion after he gets off work?” Wen Shengsheng had regained her composure.

“Your boyfriend is a member of the Gong family, why don’t you just go to him?” Huo Ling said.

“No way.” Wen Shengsheng immediately rejected the suggestion.

At this point, asking Gong Xiaochen for help was indeed the most direct option, but Lin Bin knew she was under the influence of traditional Chinese medicine before entering Gong Xiaochen's room.

If the Gong family knew that the two of them met and had a relationship in this way, it would definitely cause a huge uproar. Who knows what they would think of her? They might say that she deliberately schemed and seduced Gong Xiaochen.

“The Gong family must not know about this.” Wen Shengsheng said seriously. “I will follow him myself. When he is alone, I will grab him and ask him some questions.”

Huo Ling looked at her high heels and clicked his tongue. "I'll go. You don't know anything. You haven't even caught him yet. What if he gets lost again?"

“Yes, yes, that’s right. Brother-in-law, you go ahead. He doesn’t know you and won’t be wary of you.” With that, Wen Shengsheng quickly pushed Huo Ling out.

She hid behind a pillar, glancing at the situation ahead every now and then.

Huo Ling was just a guest. He exchanged a few words with Lin Bin, who then led him to the back garden.

Wen Shengsheng followed.

She didn't dare to get too close, afraid that Lin Bin would discover her.

The back garden of Luneng Mansion is a Suzhou-style garden.

As soon as you step inside, the moonlight pours down like water, painting soft, silvery-white light and shadow on the winding corridors and the scattered pavilions and towers.

Wen Shengsheng followed them to a rockery, but suddenly the two disappeared.

In the darkness of night, the artificial hills stand majestic and mysterious, some crouching, some lying down, like loyal guardians.

"what!"

A suppressed cry of pain came from the artificial rockery in the corner.

Wen Shengsheng paused, realizing that Huo Ling had succeeded, and rushed over immediately.

Behind the artificial hill, Lin Bin had been pinned to the ground by Huo Ling, his mouth stuffed with mud, and he could only stammer and not speak.

"You've fallen into my hands today, so don't expect to get away with this." Huo Ling slapped Lin Bin twice across the face. "Whatever my sister asks you later, you'd better tell me the truth, understand?"

Wen Shengsheng rushed over, squatted down, and looked Lin Bin up and down.

"You should still remember me, Lin Bin."

Lin Bin struggled to look up, and when he saw Wen Shengsheng's face, his expression suddenly turned horrified, as if he had seen something incredible.

He shook his head frantically, mumbling, "I don't know you, I don't know you..."

"Stop pretending. That night at the garden villa, wasn't it you who drugged me? Why did you drag me into room 303? Did you know Xi Yu was in there and deliberately try to frame us for having sex?"

Lin Bin and Huo Ling both widened their eyes at the same time; one kept shaking his head in denial, while the other was shocked.

"No wonder you didn't dare ask your boyfriend for help; you really can't let him know about this," Huo Ling concluded.

Wen Shengsheng rolled her eyes at him, not in the mood to explain to him at the moment.

"If it weren't for what you did, why would you have run away from the villa that very night?" Wen Shengsheng kicked him with her high heel. "Tell me right now."

"Something came up in my hometown, so I went back that night. I really don't know anything else..." Lin Bin mumbled, his mouth full of mud.

"I've already looked for your hometown, but you're not there at all!"

"I have several hometowns, you just don't know it."

Listening to their pointless conversation, Huo Ling frowned speechlessly.

He pointed his finger at several spots on Lin Bin's back and tapped them repeatedly.

Lin Bin's face immediately turned ferocious, his eyes widened, and the immense pain made him spit out the dirt in his mouth.

He was like a fish out of water, panting heavily, with beads of sweat the size of beans popping out.

"Can't you understand human language? I told you, answer my sister's question properly, you little bastard." Huo Ling's voice was as cold as the King of Hell in the night, devoid of any warmth.

Lin Bin immediately trembled. He looked up at Wen Shengsheng and struggled for a while before slowly uttering a sentence.

"If I tell you, will you let me go? Let me leave Beijing."

Wen Shengsheng sensed that Lin Bin seemed genuinely terrified, so she calmed herself down and said, "I know you're just an intermediary, not the mastermind, so I won't make things difficult for you, but you have to tell me the truth."

As she spoke, she pointed at Huo Ling, "This is the famous Third Master Huo in the martial arts world. You've been working as a waiter in various wealthy families for many years and have seen a lot of the world. You should know the significance of the moves he just used to deal with you."

"So don't try to play tricks and cause trouble for yourself. Just tell the truth about everything."

As Lin Bin listened, he glanced at the fierce-looking Huo Ling, his bloodless lips trembling slightly.

After a long silence, he finally managed to say something weakly.

"That night, it was Young Master Xi who asked me to drug you and then bring you into room 303."
