Chapter 115: Don’t Hit the Villain
"It seems I really didn't misjudge you after all." Qiao Yucheng let out a long, heavy sigh.
With those words, he turned and walked out of the lounge.
Seeing this, Qiao Yufei was struck by panic. She hurriedly turned to follow him, grabbing his arm and pleading urgently, "Yucheng, please listen to me. I never intended to frame anyone..."
"Someone must be trying to set me up. They deliberately made me believe the necklace was lost, only to return it later—they must be trying to destroy me!"
Qiao Yucheng turned his head to look at her with disappointment, his expression turning cold in a way Qiao Yufei had never seen before.
"I won't believe a single word you say. Unless one day you are willing to tell me the full truth about Yumo's passing, don't ever come looking for me again." He shook her off and walked away without looking back.
Qiao Yufei stood frozen in place, her entire body stiffening as she stared at his retreating figure.
At that moment, a bodyguard hurried back and handed a watch to Shen Hanzhi.
"Sir, the watch has been recovered. The cleaning staff returned it just now."
Shen Hanzhi took the watch and, with a blank expression, fastened it back onto his wrist. He cast a cold, sharp glance at the woman standing in the doorway before pressing his thin lips into a firm line and striding away.
Zhou Bei followed closely behind him.
Shen Hanzhi had intended to go straight to the venue to find that silly girl, but after the commotion that had just taken place, the venue was still crowded.
There were too many eyes on them.
He frowned, hesitated for a moment, then turned and headed toward the exit of the building.
As he walked, he pulled out his phone and opened WeChat to send a message.
...
Inside the venue, Xu Lili and Luo En rushed over to tell Ye Ning that everything was resolved and that the whole incident had been Qiao Yufei's own doing.
Ye Ning was overjoyed, but upon turning to look at Lin Nanxun, who had been sitting there silently and looking dejected for a long time, she couldn't help but feel worried.
"Boss, I don't know who bullied her, but she's been upset for quite a while now," Ye Ning said helplessly.
Luo En also stared at Lin Nanxun for a long time. Seeing her sorrowful little face, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh before asking her with a hint of indignation:
"Apprentice, tell me who bullied you. I'll take my men and deal with them!"
His apprentice was so beautiful and had such a gentle, lovely personality—who on earth was blind enough to bully her?
Lin Nanxun clutched her milk tea, her lips pouting in disappointment, but she didn't want to say a word.
Her heart ached terribly.
The "Bad Guy" hated her now. She was going to become the unwanted, unloved Lin Nanxun she used to be.
"Don't look at me as if I'm old; my body is still sturdy. Dealing with two of these young punks at once is no problem for me," Luo En said, patting his chest.
Hearing Luo En’s voice, Lin Nanxun, who had kept her head bowed for a long time, finally paused.
She slowly looked up at the bearded man in front of her.
"Just tell me who bullied you, and I'll go give them a piece of my mind right now!" Luo En said, rolling up his sleeves, looking ready to go stir up some trouble.
Hearing the bearded man say this, Lin Nanxun’s face immediately showed signs of anxiety, and she finally couldn't help but speak up, saying urgently:
"Don't hit the Bad Guy."
"..." Hearing this, Luo En froze.
The Bad Guy... Mr. Shen?
Thinking of the man who had commanded the entire room just now with a single icy expression, Luo En’s face shifted, and he instantly lost his nerve.
