She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

The home Han Xi was referring to was neither Haicheng nor the Han residence. He drove straight ahead and eventually entered a high-end residential area within the Second Ring Road.

Guanlanting is a large-scale residential complex with an artificial lake. The residents of the dozen or so buildings are all wealthy and influential.

Han Xi drove the car into the parking lot, the two got out of the car, and Fang Li followed him into the elevator.

The elevator went up all the way and finally stopped at the top floor.

Han Xi opened the door, and Fang Li stepped inside.

The room is very large, with the living room right inside the entrance, a 120-degree floor-to-ceiling window, and dark curtains hanging at both ends.

The room was brightly lit. Fang Li changed into soft sheepskin slippers, stepped onto the soft carpet, and walked a few steps into the living room, taking a brief look around.

There are three doors at the back of the living room. To the right is an open kitchen that connects to a Western-style island and a wine bar.

There is a recessed space on the left, with bookshelves on three walls and a desk over two meters long in the center.

Fang Li was still looking when she heard Han Xi's voice coming from behind her: "There are three bedrooms. You can choose any one to stay in."

Just pick one at random?

Fang Li looked back and forth between the three doors twice, then turned around and asked, "Which room do you stay in?"

Han Xi: "......."

I was going to say that he rarely comes here. Except when he works overtime or has social engagements that keep him up late, he usually goes back to his villa in the suburbs.

But the words caught in his throat, and he inexplicably stopped himself from saying them, instead saying, "The far left."

Fang Li nodded, "Then I'll stay in the room next to yours."

Han Xi: "Okay, I've already asked Lin Mo to pick up your luggage. He'll bring it over for you later."

Fang Li was about to thank him when the doorbell rang.

Han Xi went to open the door, and a muscular man came in.

"Hello, Madam." He nodded to Fang Li as soon as he entered the door and said, "I am Jiang Bei, the boss's personal assistant."

Fang Li smiled faintly: "Hello."

After greeting everyone, his expression instantly turned cold: "Boss, we've investigated everything online. The IP addresses of the several video terminals are not in the same place. The one from Jin Ding Zhai is in an urban village in the southern suburbs of Beijing, while the other IPs are all in Hangzhou."

Han Xi: "Who did this?"

Jiangbei: "Jin Ding Zhai should be Duan Xin, but we can't guarantee that no one is behind it."

"A clue?"

“Duan Xin’s account inexplicably gained three million last night. I had Jiang Dong check, and it was transferred from an overseas account.”

Han Xi frowned and pondered.

Jiang Bei continued, "As for Hangzhou, the IP was finally locked onto a media studio called Souyu."

"Search for fish?" Fang Li frowned.

Jiang Bei nodded: "Madam knows this studio."

Fang Li: "......."

Not only did she know, but she had been in the industry for over two years, and a third of the negative information about her came from this studio.

She initially thought it was a coincidence, until one day she accidentally witnessed that scene.

Fang Li lowered her eyes, concealing the coldness in them.

Compared to her complexion, Han Xi, who had been watching her closely, had an even more frighteningly gloomy expression.

He waved his hand, and Jiang Bei turned and left.

After the door closed, he walked towards Fang Li, his brows furrowed with a hint of coldness.

"You know people at Souyu, you know who's behind all this, right?"

Fang Li frowned: "...It should be Yu Wei."

I never expected that even though she had already retired from the entertainment industry and left Hangzhou, they still wouldn't let her go and had been plotting this kind of underhanded trick behind her back for a long time.

Han Xi frowned, remained silent for a while, then pulled her into the sofa and sat down next to her, turning to look at her.

"Is Yu Wei the third-rate celebrity Jasmine Tea that your brother mentioned? Does she have connections with that paparazzi studio? Why would she do that?"

Jasmine tea?

Fang Li, who was initially a little angry, almost lost her composure. It was fine when Xu Fangye said it, but it sounded so strange coming from Han Xi's mouth.

However, that wasn't the main point. Han Xi asked her why Yu Wei did this, and Fang Li felt a chill run down her spine.

Her hands, resting on her knees, clenched involuntarily. Her cool eyes stared at him for a long time before she slowly said, "It must be because of Song Yuchen."

"..."

Seeing a glint of darkness in his eyes, she quickly said, "Song Yuchen and I have already broken up. I don't know why she's still targeting me."

"I see."

"Know?"

Seeing his deep gaze and fierce expression, Fang Li belatedly realized what he meant and quickly said, "No, that's not what I meant."

Han Xi frowned as he looked at her.

Fang Li: "This is between Yu Wei and me. I don't want you to worry about such trivial matters. Besides, I'm in Beijing now, and I don't want to see either of them again unless necessary."

"You, are you still...?"

"What are you thinking!" Fang Li frowned, then her expression turned serious: "If I said I don't like him anymore, not at all, would you... believe me?"

"...I believe you." Han Xi was silent for only a second before answering seriously, "If you say so, I will believe you."

Fang Li's eyes flickered unexpectedly.

"...Yu Wei is a very arrogant person. When I was with Song Yuchen, she tried every means to interfere. Now that I don't want Song Yuchen anymore, she feels that she has lost out."

She gave a sarcastic smile: "Ever since I slapped her, she's been waiting for this day. I just didn't expect Yaoxing to help her too."

The attack on Yu Wei took place inside the company. Without the approval of Yaoxing's senior management, Yu Wei would not have been able to obtain that surveillance video.

And then there's Yaoxing's termination statement—the timing is too coincidental.

Han Xi asked, "Are you sad?"

Fang Li: "How could that be?"

"okay, I get it."

Han Xi nodded without hesitation, then got up and walked towards the door.

Fang Li didn't know what he was going to do.

The door opened, and Jiang Bei, who had left earlier, was still outside.

With his back to her, Han Xi said to Jiang Bei at the door, "Go find Lu Jie about Duan Xin's matter and tell him that if I don't see the matter resolved within three hours, I will take action myself."

"Yes."

"And those things in Hangzhou, let..."

"Don't worry about this," Fang Li's voice came from the room, interrupting Han Xi.

The two turned around at the same time and saw that she had already gotten up and was walking towards them.

Fang Li said, "You don't need to worry about Wei and Yaoxing. There's more to this than just this one thing between us. I'll handle it myself."

Han Xi looked down at her intently for a long time before his deep voice slowly sounded beside her.

"Okay. You can handle it yourself first, but if they still don't stop, I can't guarantee I won't take action. Remember, from now on, do whatever you want, and if you cause trouble, I'll cover for you no matter what happens."

Fang Li's heart skipped a beat. She curled her lips and looked up at him: "Are you sure? What if I was the one who started it by being unreasonable and hurting someone?"

Han Xi smiled and walked closer to her, bending down slightly to get closer to her, his dark, deep eyes gleaming.

He parted his thin lips slightly, his voice low and seductive: "I'll have Jiang Bei follow you. He has big hands, so his blows will hurt more."

Fang Li's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

Do big hands hurt more when they hit someone?

Is this still the same meticulous and gentlemanly CEO Han? How could he say such unreasonable things?

A warm feeling flashed through Fang Li's heart.

During those years in Hangzhou, she seemed to have become accustomed to forbearance, always putting Song Yuchen first in everything. She obediently listened to his prohibitions, afraid of causing trouble for his hard-won career.

She gave him her whole heart, but in the end, she still couldn't keep him and ended up being deceived.

She had been pursuing Song Yuchen for over six years, but she had never felt any sense of being cared for by him.

Now, this man...

If you get into trouble, I'll cover for you...

This favoritism and indulgence hit her right where it hurt!
